How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"...That sounds nice, but those Nascent Soul cultivators outside haven't gone far yet." Ye Yueyue snorted and accepted the storage ring without any politeness.

She probed into it with her divine sense and found a lot of spirit stones and high-level spiritual artifacts inside, more than what her cheap master Yue Feichen had given her.

Is this the strength of the Burning Heaven Domain?

That region that surpasses the Second Palace and the Three Sects...

It is said that this place does not belong to any faction or sect. It is extremely fair and only respects strength. Countless cultivators flock to it.

Huai Chi was choked.

Indeed, others have no obligation to take risks for him.

Honestly, if it were him, he wouldn't fight a group of Nascent Soul cultivators for a complete stranger.

However, he has now lost all his spiritual power, and it is hard to say whether he can even walk out of this mountain range on his own, let alone with the assassins sent by those people.

After a long silence, Huai Chi looked directly at the girl, his voice filled with determination: "Take me away from this mountain range, and name your price."

He didn't want to stay here; he still had many things to finish.

At the very least, that person has to die.

Huai Chi's eyes flashed, and his aura grew even colder.

Seeing his expression, Ye Yueyue knew what he was thinking. If she had been the one ambushed, she wouldn't have been willing to accept it either.

"Hmm... I can take you out, but I have a few conditions."

Huai Chi nodded.

"First, I won't help you if you encounter danger along the way. I'm just a Golden Core cultivator. I can only help you if I can, but I can't do anything that could kill you."

Ye Yueyue is very clear-headed now; having money doesn't mean you have to be alive to spend it.

Before it is fulfilled, any promise is just a pie in the sky.

Especially for someone who has died once, she is now extremely cautious about men; that crazy guy has left her with a deep-seated trauma.

Huai Chi was not surprised, but still remained silent for a moment.

When the topic turned to death, the girl made an exaggerated gesture, placing her hands diagonally in front of her with a look of complete resistance on her face.

The way his eyes lit up after receiving the storage ring perfectly portrayed his greed and fear of death.

Although people are all like this, none of them are as open and honest as she is. All others take all the benefits and then pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

In contrast, the girl's straightforward cuteness.

Huai Chi twitched the corner of his mouth, inexplicably wanting to laugh.

Last night, someone was calling him "brother" all the time, but today, when it comes to life and death, they can't take it anymore.

"Ah."

Seeing him nod, Ye Yueyue added, "Secondly, you must listen to me, otherwise the deal is off."

"Of course, you must keep all the promises you made."

The request wasn't unreasonable, and Huai Chi agreed almost without hesitation.

After the two finished speaking, a beam of transparent light fell.

This is a vow and contract unique to the cultivation world. If the agreement is violated, inner demons will arise.

The contract has officially come into effect.

Ye Yueyue glanced at him, then suddenly smiled. "Now you'll listen to me, right?"

Her smile held a hint of malice, and her bright face momentarily stunned him.

"Then... you should call me master."

"OK?"

She approached, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Meeting the girl's bright, sparkling eyes, Huai Chi, for some reason, nodded as if possessed.

Then, Huai Chi, regaining his senses, said: "..."

……

"……Owner."

His brows furrowed, his thin lips parted, and after a long pause, he finally uttered two words. His voice was cold and emotionless, barely audible.

Ye Yueyue didn't mind; it was already good enough that she could call out to them.

There is ample time.

I'll turn him into a puppy every morning and evening.

"Brother is so nice~" the girl exclaimed with a smile.

Huai Chi's heart skipped a beat. After taking a few deep breaths, he found an excuse for himself.

Everything is about cooperation.

Ye Yueyue glanced outside, but there was still no movement.

But she wasn't sure if he would turn around and come back, so to prevent any surprises, she thought for a moment and said to the man, "Let's put on a disguise."

"Ok?"

Before he could finish speaking, the girl pulled him away.

Huai Chi could only feel a hand rubbing against his face, rouge powder flying into the air.

He frowned, and the next moment he heard the girl's displeased voice: "Don't move!"

"Be good, okay?"

The clear voice softened slightly, like a gentle breeze, dispelling the scents in the air.

When I opened my eyes again, the person in the mirror had changed.

He was both a stranger and a familiar figure.

What was unfamiliar was that the face was completely different from his previous one; what was familiar was that his expression hadn't changed much.

"Smile, and your owner will like you even more!"

The girl blinked, leaned closer, and gently stroked it with her slender, white fingertips.

As he moved, the man in the mirror smiled slightly, and his handsome face softened considerably.

……

On the outskirts of the mountain range, two furtive figures moved about in the grass.

Several men in black stood in front of them.

Ye Yueyue glanced at the insignia on the man's chest, and a look of understanding appeared in her eyes.

I'm familiar with this!

"You know her?" Huai Chi looked at her in surprise.

“Hey, see that badge? It’s from the Rakshasa Palace.” She pointed at the man and said.

Huai Chi seemed lost in thought when suddenly something unexpected happened ahead.

"Who?"

Oh no, we've been discovered!

Ye Yueyue immediately pulled the two away and ran, but the men in black moved very quickly, exchanging a glance before chasing after them.

One of the men in black immediately gave a signal.

Seeing the signal soaring into the sky, Ye Yueyue's heart jumped. "What should we do? What should we do?"

"...You don't seem nervous at all."

"So what if we're nervous? It won't change the situation." Huai Chi's voice remained calm and unhurried.

Ye Yueyue paused for a moment, then said, "You're right, but we're about to be caught up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"Let's capture him without mercy."

Mu glanced at the message on the spiritual scroll and spoke, feigning composure.

The Dharma protectors are almost here, it's alright.

Thinking of previous cases, he was still uneasy and took a few steps back to a relatively safe position.

"Oh, it's you." Ye Yueyue turned around and glanced at it, then fell silent for a moment.

Good news, it's not the group that's after Brother Baige.

Bad news, this is her enemy.

She twitched her lips, feeling incredibly unlucky.

It was one thing to run into them when Qingbao and I went to Yunwu Mountain last time, but to encounter Rakshasa Palace dogs in this desolate, godforsaken place is unthinkable.

And I hadn't even bothered to pretend...

When she came out, she thought that she wasn't the one being chased, so she didn't bother to put on any disguise.

Huai Chi recognized them too; these weren't the same group that had been chasing him. Considering the conversation between the two sides and the fact that the girl knew him before…

He guessed that the two sides had a grudge.

Huai Chi breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile playing on his lips.

I myself should not be left out.

"Aren't these the dogs of the Rakshasa Palace? I'm telling you, it's been three years, can't you come up with some new lines?"

"He says that every time, and then he's proven wrong every time... That's interesting!"
