Chapter 3876: Sincerity and Intentions (First Update)
Chapter 3876: Chapter 3876: Sincerity and Intentions (First Update)
"Disciple?" The two of them looked at Gu Xuan with some disbelief.
Is this girl from the Gu family unafraid of death?
Daring to refer to this Supreme as a disciple?
Yu Hongying sighed, only a woman with such a large chest and no brains could do such a thing. Having spent so long with the Supreme, she probably still hasn’t seen through his identity, right?
She didn’t pay Gu Xuan any mind but instead flickered beside Ye Chen, respectfully took out a storage bag, and handed it to Ye Chen, saying:
"Consider this a small gift from me to congratulate Young Master Ye on taking the top spot in the assessment. I hope you can lead our Dark Domain back to the world..."
Wei Ji similarly flickered his form, handing out a storage bag, saying almost the same words.
Both of them were somewhat uneasy, afraid they might be rejected by Ye Chen!
Ye Chen looked at the two of them with some surprise. To curry favor with him, were they going overboard?
Even Gu Xuan wore a look of astonishment on her pretty face...
When had she ever seen these two dignified powerhouses lower themselves so much?
Especially towards a junior like Ye Chen?
Simply unbelievable.
Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to decline any further, casually accepting the two storage bags, saying: "Then, many thanks to the two governors. If there’s nothing else..."
Wei Ji and Yu Hongying’s faces lit up with wild joy, repeatedly saying: "Since Young Master Ye still has important matters, it’s best to leave first."
"Young Master Ye doesn’t need to mind us. Focus on your matters."
The Supreme naturally wouldn’t lack anything they could provide. The fact that the Supreme was willing to accept their gifts was a form of recognition, wasn’t it?
Furthermore, the Supreme mentioned visiting again later?
They naturally didn’t have the courage for the Supreme to visit their home. If anyone was visiting, it would be them visiting the Supreme!
However, that sentence from the Supreme should be considered a tacit approval, an approval for them to visit once the Supreme returns to the Dark Domain...
Gu Xuan was almost dumbfounded. Could these two have a problem with their heads?
As governors of the Dark Domain, powerhouses, why do they act like they’ve seen their ancestor in front of Ye Chen?
Almost kneeling, weren’t they?
Gu Xuan looked at the two disdainfully. These two must be blinded by power, betting on Ye Chen to secure a foothold in the Bright Territory later, seemingly at the cost of their dignity!
She snorted coldly, ignoring the two, and followed Ye Chen out of the hall.
Meanwhile, Yu Hongying and Wei Ji looked at Gu Xuan’s departing figure with extreme jealousy and disdain...
They couldn’t understand what the Supreme saw in this girl from the Gu family that made him allow her such liberties around him...
And this foolish woman didn’t know how fortunate she was.
...
Ye Chen and Gu Xuan used the teleportation formation to return to the Netherworld Dark Mansion, ready to ride Gu Xuan’s Golden Roc.
But Gu Xuan stopped Ye Chen, saying: "Wait a moment, since you’re in a rush, don’t ride Xiao Jin. There’s a faster flying demon beast kept at the mansion!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Then why haven’t we used the other mount before?"
Gu Xuan’s gaze turned complex as she spoke: "You... will understand soon enough..."
Soon, Gu Xuan took Ye Chen to a side room.
Inside, a girl with a delicate face and little expression lay sprawled on the ground, holding some sort of food in her hand.
As Ye Chen glanced at the girl, he couldn’t help but be stunned. This girl was surprisingly Gu Xuan’s maid, Xiao Rou!
In Xiao Rou’s hand, a small snake, roasted to a charred black, was skewered on a bamboo stick...
Xiao Rou foolishly looked at the two and asked, "Lord, what’s wrong?"
Gu Xuan explained to Ye Chen: "Xiao Rou is actually a half-blood between humans and demonic beasts, possessing the Purple Phoenix Bloodline. If she flies at full speed, she is much faster than Xiao Jin..."
She then turned to Xiao Rou and said, "Xiao Rou, Ye Shitian needs to travel to the Bright Territory. Take him there."
With a plop, the roasted snake fell from Xiao Rou’s hand to the ground. Although she still wore no expression, her eyes faintly glistened with tears as she murmured, "Lord, you promised me that if I became your maid, I’d never have to be someone else’s mount again!"
At this moment, Xiao Rou felt an immense betrayal!
It was even more unbearable that after serving the lord for so many years, now, it seemed the new arrival held more weight in the lord’s heart!
She was to be his mount!
Ye Chen’s expression turned a bit odd, yet he didn’t resist the idea.
In the Divine Kingdom, the Sea Clan Princess was also his mount... The other party was just a dragon, and this Xiao Rou was actually a phoenix?
He thought silently, it is said that riding a phoenix is quite comfortable...
A cry of the phoenix resounded from the depths of the clouds, a sudden flash of purple light, crossing the long bridge, appearing in the wilderness of the Star Swirl Domain, and in a flash, disappearing at the sky’s edge.
Seated on Xiao Rou’s back, Ye Chen’s eyes showed delight, the Purple Phoenix Bloodline was indeed fearsome. Even though Xiao Rou wasn’t pure-blooded, her speed far exceeded that of the Golden Feathered Roc. Of course, it also related to Xiao Rou’s cultivation level.
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered, at such speed, he would soon catch up to Xu Shenglong, right?
Even crossing the Star Swirl Domain and returning to the Star Moon Palace of the Moon Soul Domain would only take a day!
Suddenly, he moved, taking out the two storage bags, which were the gifts from Yu Hongying and Wei Ji.
With nothing to do, why not see what these two Dark Domain powerhouses had given?
...
In the Dark Domain.
Yu Hongying and Wei Ji watched the agents’ assessments with little interest. Not just them, but other state governors also felt this way. After witnessing Ye Chen’s performance, those geniuses who once filled them with pride now seemed ordinary...
Yu Hongying suddenly asked Wei Ji, "What gift did you give the Supreme previously?"
She was more concerned about this than the assessment.
Wei Ji didn’t answer but instead asked back, "And you?"
Yu Hongying said proudly, "I noticed the Supreme didn’t wear too many good treasures to hide his identity. His Dragonslayer Sword seemed mysterious but lacked a good protective magical treasure, so I gave a nine-grade Emperor Artifact-level Treasure Robe I had. It not only possesses strong defense but also invisibility and various powers, quite suitable for the Supreme now."
To show her sincerity, she put in considerable effort. Wei Ji’s miserly gift couldn’t compare, right?
Hearing this, Wei Ji merely smiled: "Do you think someone of the Supreme’s level still needs defensive artifacts?"
Yu Hongying snorted coldly, "What of it? It’s merely our means to show sincerity. At the Supreme’s level, do you think you could provide anything he truly needs?"
Wei Ji replied blandly, "Perhaps the Supreme really does need something?"
