Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 413 -413 Supreme Immortal Path (16)

“…”

Qing Xiao’s face was an iron shade of blue as he stared at Chuzheng, as though trying to bore flowers into her skin with his gaze.

What on earth was going on with this Chuzheng?

She hadn’t been like this before.

“Is that a Ghost Servant?”

In the crowd, someone suddenly said.

...

Ghost Servant?

The atmosphere on the scene became strange because of these two people.

“Look at that person’s neck,” someone pointed to one of them: “That is a Ghost Servant.”

Not just one of them, the other person had it too.

The patterns on their necks were identical.

Ghost Servant was merely a term.

It first appeared among the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan somehow controlled those in the midst of their spiritual practice and refined them into their own Ghost Servants.

Used for combat and information gathering.

It is said that high-level Ghost Servants are no different from ordinary people.

However, the Demon Clan and the Divine Clan had long made peace, with both clans having nothing to do with each other, a very peaceful coexistence.

Why would a Ghost Servant appear here?

“This is the Soul Control Technique,” Black Fox Xue Yuan suddenly spoke, his tone arrogant and disdainful: “You don’t even recognize this, have you started regressing with age?”

Xue Yuan’s voice drew everyone’s gaze onto him.

A moment ago, the Little Fox was nestled in Chuzheng’s embrace, not lifting its head; from their angle, Chuzheng merely seemed to be holding a dark mass.

Now that Xue Yuan lifted his head, his fluffy ears and those fiery-red eyes were revealed.

“Black Fox!”

Chuzheng: “…”

She held the Little Fox tight, warily watching the person opposite her.

Don’t even think about coveting my fur… my Good Person Card!

It’s mine!!

“The Soul Control Technique extracts the soul for manipulation, and identical marks would appear on the body of the master and the puppet being driven. Usually, on the neck for the puppet, and on the wrist for the master, one glance is all it takes to know who’s behind these two people.”

Xue Yuan was completely unconcerned with the stares from the person opposite him.

The Little Fox pushed Chuzheng’s sleeve aside with his paw: “She doesn’t have it on her hands.”

Her fair wrist was flawless.

Chuzheng hadn’t expected the Little Fox to know so much; it was good not having to talk herself.

She hadn’t raised him for nothing.

Xue Yuan pointed his paw towards Xi Lan: “Her turn now.”

The crowd had never heard of the Soul Control Technique.

All they knew was the Demon Clan’s Ghost Servants…

Xi Lan’s complexion was even paler than before.

Huddled in Qing Xiao’s embrace, she dared not respond, rapidly searching her mind for a way out.

“Scared?” Xue Yuan sneered: “To know whom these two people belong to, all you need to do is roll up your sleeve and take a look.”

Xi Lan pinched the palm of her hand, Xue Yuan was right; if she really brought it out…

She had dared to push those two people onto Chuzheng precisely because she thought no one would know about the Soul Control Technique.

However, she had forgotten about the Ancient Ferocious Beast from the Prehistoric Era — Black Fox Xue Yuan.

“We’ve never heard of it, so we should just take your word for it?”

Someone spoke up.

“Exactly, aren’t you just making this up? He’s a Fierce Beast; can we really trust what he says?”

“Everyone, don’t be deceived by a Fierce Beast.”

Xue Yuan snorted coldly, the youthful voice laced with arrogance: “As an Ancient Ferocious Beast, I need not bother lying to a bunch of old fogeys like you.”

“…”

When it came down to it, as an Ancient Ferocious Beast, the Black Fox… was likely much older than them, no?

Calling them old fogeys.

What about himself?

An Ancient old fogey?

“Xi Lan, show them,” said Qing Xiao, whose trust in Xi Lan extended from body to soul; he didn’t believe Xi Lan would lie to him.

Xi Lan’s gaze dropped, and she bit her lips tightly.

“I… My Lord, in front of so many people…” Xi Lan appeared to be embarrassed.

“It’s just a wrist, not your chest; what’s there to fear?” Chuzheng said icily.

The crowd: “…”

Little Fox glanced at Chuzheng, “Isn’t that a bit too direct?”

“I…”

Xi Lan felt a sense of urgency at the bottom of her heart.

Little Fox licked its paw, “If you dare not show us, then these two are yours.”

Xi Lan: “…”

“Xi Lan?”

Chuzheng suddenly darted forward.

By the time Qing Xiao reacted, Chuzheng had already grabbed Xi Lan’s arm.

Xi Lan’s pupils dilated as she tried to break free from Chuzheng’s control.

Without another word, Chuzheng lifted her sleeve.

The same pattern that belonged to the two people was spread across her wrist, exposed under everyone’s eyes.

“Nonsense.” Babbling on and on without any substantial progress, isn’t this much simpler!

Chuzheng coldly threw Xi Lan’s hand away.

She darted back to her original spot.

The speed was so fast it was as if she had never moved at all.

Xi Lan, in a panic, pulled down her sleeve to cover her wrist, a trace of dark hatred flashing in her eyes, but more than that, panic.

What should she do now?

“Immortal Xi Lan…” Someone looked at her in shock, “You… what’s going on, you… why do you have a Ghost Servant?”

They did not know what the Soul Control Technique was.

But they were clear about Ghost Servants.

That was something only the Demon Clan possessed.

Not a single person from the Divine Clan had it.

How could Xi Lan have one?

Even though the Demon Clan and the Divine Clan had coexisted peacefully for many years, to the Divine Realm, the Demon Clan had always been a hidden threat.

Once this matter was tied to the Demon Clan, they had no choice but to take it seriously.

“I… I don’t know.” Xi Lan’s eyes were teary as she clutched Qing Xiao’s clothes, “Husband, you believe me.”

“Don’t panic.”

Qing Xiao soothed Xi Lan.

Xi Lan, with tears streaming like rain, said, “I really don’t know what happened, it was… she framed me.”

Xi Lan suddenly pointed at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: “…”

Again me!

Why is it always me!

You can’t bully me just because I look weak, helpless, and pitiable!

Xi Lan continued in a weakened tone, “She suddenly came over and grabbed me, and then this thing appeared on my hand…”

Chuzheng interrupted her, “If you didn’t have it, why didn’t you show it earlier?”

“In front of so many people, how could I… be so shameless.” Xi Lan’s pale cheeks colored with embarrassment and annoyance.

It seemed as if by exposing her wrist in front of so many, Chuzheng had acted shamelessly.

Chuzheng, with a serious expression, said, “The body is also a part of the Dao, what is there to hide? To be an immortal for so long and still be troubled by such worldly matters, how can you achieve the Dao? If you don’t even have this realization, how did you cultivate and ascend to godhood, by going through the back door?”

The crowd: “…”

It always seemed like she was spouting nonsense, yet no one could find words to refute it.

Black Fox Xue Yuan: “…”

If he hadn’t known that this shameless creature had always forced him to eat grass, claiming it was good for his health, he would have believed her by now.

Xi Lan opened her lips but couldn’t find any words to retort for a long while.

It was as if saying she lacked realization was equivalent to having taken a shortcut.

To admit she had realization would lead to being accused of being troubled by worldly matters, unworthy of divinity…

Xi Lan clenched her fists tightly beneath her sleeves.

No, that’s not right.

It seemed she’d been led astray.

Xi Lan suddenly looked up, her tearful eyes clashing with Chuzheng’s clear, indifferent gaze, and the prepared defense she had in mind got stuck in her throat again.

“Immortal Xi Lan, are these two Ghost Servants yours?”

“No…”

“If they’re not yours, whose are they? The evidence is on your hand,” Chuzheng helpfully and intimately reminded.

“It’s you…”

“Can I even imprint it on you?” Chuzheng’s face was indifferent, “You think so highly of me, should I thank you?”

“You touched me just now.” Xi Lan struggled to defend herself.
