Chapter 4182: Chapter 4182: Slave? (Fourth Update)
But, as time passed and circumstances changed, the Ghost Forest Ancient City, after several calamities, was no longer the thriving place it once was, and its population had sharply declined.
However, even so, the Ghost Forest Ancient City remained a suitable place for martial artists to take a temporary rest. He would first enter the Ghost Forest Ancient City and wait for the opening of the Netherworld King Relics.
Ye Chen did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "That’s right, I am indeed heading to Ghost Forest Ancient City."
The people behind the woman heard this and all showed surprise. Entering the Ghost Forest Ancient City?
The purpose seemed obvious; this young man was clearly also coming for the Netherworld King Relics!
On usual days, martial artists entering the Ghost Forest Ancient City mostly came to hunt the Nether Beasts, but given Ye Chen’s strength, forget about hunting Nether Beasts; it would be a miracle if he didn’t become food for the Nether Beasts!
The other two had no particular reaction, but Gui Ping once again spoke with a mocking smile: "You? Entering the Ghost Forest Ancient City? Haha, ignorance must also have its limits, right? To have walked here and not died is already lucky for you!"
A Holy Ancestor Realm trash, daring to covet that Netherworld King Relics? Isn’t that courting death?
Ye Chen glanced at Gui Ping but said nothing.
The woman seemed rather interested and looked at Ye Chen, suddenly speaking to him: "I still need a servant. Since you want to enter the Ghost Forest Ancient City, would you be willing to follow me there? Of course, you would have to do the miscellaneous chores along the way."
For a moment, the three of Gui Ping all showed surprise!
A servant?
This woman’s name was Gui Lingyun, the daughter of the Family head of the Mountain Ghost Clan, equivalent to an emperor’s daughter in the mortal world!
A human trash at the Holy Ancestor Realm, what qualifications does he have to become her servant?
Gui Ping’s eyes flickered with cold flames. He had always taken pride in being Gui Lingyun’s servant, having exerted much effort and made many sacrifices to become her servant!
Now, a mere passerby could so easily become Gui Lingyun’s servant?
This was simply an insult to him!
Immediately, Gui Ping spoke up: "Miss, this person’s background is unknown, and with his trashy strength, what qualifications does he have to stay by your side?
Even just walking together would bring disgrace to you! You have to know, once we enter the Ghost Forest Ancient City, we will encounter those guys from Titan Divine City and Nine Heavens Ghost Valley. If they see this guy, who knows how they would mock us!"
Ye Chen looked deeply at Gui Ping; this person was constantly calling him trash, which was somewhat annoying.
Gui Xin and Uncle Liang also frowned slightly, clearly disapproving of Miss’s actions, but they did not speak against it. They were clearly aware of their status as servants, and how could they oppose the decisions made by Miss?
This Gui Ping seemed to think that having become Miss’s servant, he was superior to others and had a bit of confusion about his own status!
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Gui Lingyun glanced at Gui Ping indifferently and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Gui Ping was startled by Gui Lingyun’s slightly cold gaze and quickly lowered his head, saying, "I wouldn’t dare."
He gritted his teeth secretly, staring at Ye Chen like a poisonous snake.
Gui Ping never expected that Miss would defend this guy?
It was all because of this damn guy. If this guy hadn’t suddenly appeared, he wouldn’t have incurred Miss’s displeasure!
Gui Lingyun pointed to the beast meat on the ground and said to Ye Chen, "Cut this beast meat and roast it. The taste of Nether Beast meat is quite good."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered but he did not refuse. With a swing of his Dragonslayer Sword, he cut the beast meat into extremely thin slices and skewered them on wooden sticks to roast.
For Ye Chen, following Gui Lingyun and her group saved him a lot of trouble.
Though he was unafraid of ordinary Nether Beasts, continuously fighting like this would also consume him considerably. Since it’s uncertain when the Netherworld King Relics would begin, saving some strength was necessary for Ye Chen.
Having a strong presence guarding made even those in the Primordial Origin Realm Nether Beasts hesitate to come close, and along the road, it’s hard to say whether they would encounter people from Titan Divine City or Nine Heavens Ghost Valley. Being with Gui Lingyun reduced the likelihood of being targeted by these two parties.
So, he did not refuse Gui Lingyun’s proposal.
Of course, this so-called servant role for Ye Chen mainly involved doing some chores, and he did not have any intention of really being subordinate to someone.
Gui Lingyun’s beautiful eyes glimmered when she saw the neatly cut beast meat and said, "Nicely done with the sword."
Upon hearing Gui Lingyun’s praise, Gui Ping’s expression became even more sullen. He suddenly shouted at Ye Chen, "Kid! Can you use any random branch for roasting? If you want the beast meat to taste good, you need to use a special Black Wood Branch from this Ancient Nether Forest. Hurry up and fetch some Black Wood Branches! If the miss makes you a servant, you should have some utility, right?"
Ye Chen’s eyes turned colder, but he flashed to the forest.
Guiping looked at Ye Chen’s departing figure, wishing maliciously, "Damn kid, get eaten by a Nether Beast while fetching branches!"
However, shortly after, Ye Chen returned with an armful of Black Wood Branches, and Gui Ping’s face turned ugly as he snorted coldly, unable to say anything further.
After a few people ate the beast meat, Gui Lingyun returned to the sedan to prepare to continue on the road.
However, before setting off, Gui Ping shouted at Ye Chen: "Kid, get to the back! Does a trash from the Holy Ancestor Realm also want to walk alongside us? How disgraceful!
If, because of you, the Miss is embarrassed, I will personally make you feel a fate worse than death!"
Upon hearing this, murderous intent flashed in Ye Chen’s pupils as he retreated two steps and followed behind the sedan.
Gui Ping’s face showed a disdainful sneer. Indeed, trash should act like trash. This guy was scolded by him as if dead, without any reaction?
Hehe, he originally wanted to provoke Ye Chen to make him lose control and make a move, so he could find an excuse to kill Ye Chen. But unexpectedly, Ye Chen really endured it like a turtle hiding in its shell?
Just as he was about to continue to humiliate Ye Chen, Gui Lingyun spoke from inside the sedan: "Gui Ping, today you’ve spoken quite a bit, haven’t I told you to set off?"
Gui Ping’s heart trembled at these words!
He quickly bowed his head, saying, "Yes!"
At that moment, his face even showed some jealousy!
He clearly knew that Miss was not someone who usually liked to talk!
On ordinary days, if there was nothing, Miss wouldn’t speak casually.
But today, she repeatedly spoke up to defend this guy?
Gui Ping, being the servant, had already followed Miss for hundreds of years. Could it be that in Miss’s heart, he was not as good as a waste who hadn’t even known her for two hours?
How could this not make Gui Ping’s jealousy burn!
But now that Miss had spoken, he could only lift the sedan and head towards the Ghost Forest Ancient City.
