After a short while, the space in front of them blurred, and the figure of a black-haired woman appeared. She smiled sweetly at him. "Young Master, you're still sharp."
The person who had been stalking them was Hua Jin, but at the moment, she was in her 'Yan Yao' appearance.
"You came faster than I expected. Were you the one who scared that old guy earlier?" Yun Wuji waved at her to come closer and asked with a smile.
When Qianye Ying'er escaped and brought him with her, he had used his Devil Body in the Soul Stealing Realm to tell Hua Jin to join the Heretic God body. It had only been around two weeks, he didn't expect her to find him this fast.
He didn't think she would find him so fast. Her early arrival messed up his original plans. It seemed like now he could only head straight to the God Realm of Absolute Beginning after checking the Gaze Eternity Realm first.
"Indeed," Hua Jin replied softly, then glanced at the woman next to him, she was staring at her with cold eyes.
Qianye Ying'er subtly distanced herself from Yun Wuji, her gaze shifting warily between Hua Jin and Yun Wuji. "Who is she?" she asked.
"Come here," Yun Wuji beckoned to Hua Jin. She blinked, then, with a sweet smile, blurred and appeared beside him. Without hesitation, he rested his hand on her waist, drawing a faint blush to her cheeks.
"My woman," he replied to Qianye Ying'er.
"..." Hua Jin's body trembled faintly, but she didn't say anything. She lowered her head, her ears glowing bright red. She had already learned from her older sisters, Jie Xin and Jie Ling, that they had become his women under their mistress's command, so all the witches had prepared themselves for this.
Hua Jin didn't feel any aversion toward him, in fact, she didn't think it was a bad thing at all. Yun Wuji had too many stacked haloes on him. First, his frightening genius. Second, Chi Wuyao's love and full backing, which placed him above all the witches in status. Third, they were all deeply grateful to him for making their bodies perfectly compatible with darkness. It was no exaggeration to say he had given them a new life.
And the last reason… was something less noble. They'd heard it felt good. Extremely good, in fact.
"Your woman?" Qianye Ying'er's expression froze, she knew about the existence of Luo Guxie, but she had never seen this woman before, and had no information about her. How could a late-stage Divine Master like her remain unknown?!
She originally wanted to use her strength to protect him, provide him with resources, and maybe, if it came to it, she could use her body to finally convince him to help her. She thought she had enough time, and with time, she was confident she could change his mind.
But the appearance of this woman changed everything! It had thrown all her plans!
What made her even more shocked and suspicious was his identity. How did he know two 9th level Divine Masters? Even until now, she still didn't know a damn thing about his origins.
"Young Master, who is this woman?" Hua Jin asked curiously.
"Qianye Ying'er, the famous Brahma Goddess," Yun Wuji replied casually.
"The Brahma Goddess?" Hua Jin was surprised why she was here with Yun Wuji?
On her way, it hadn't been hard for her to learn about what happened in the Brahma Monarch God Realm. It seemed that the Brahma Goddess had betrayed them, and now they were hunting her down. The entire Eastern Divine Region was looking for her.
She was curious about how Qianye Ying'er looked without her disguise, especially since her beauty was famous, but she didn't ask her to reveal it. Instead, she took out a small green sphere and handed it to Yun Wuji. "Here it is, Young Master."
After leaving the Northern Divine Region, Hua Jin passed by the Snow Song Realm and took the Wind Seed that Yun Wuji had left with Mu Bingyun before he went to the Western Divine Region. He had asked Hua Jin to pass it to the Heretic God body.
Yun Wuji took the wind seed from her hand, but didn't swallow it immediately. He was at the peak of the Divine Tribulation Realm, and although he wasn't sure how much energy it contained, it would be bad if he broke through directly because of carelessness.
Before reaching the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, Yun Wuji wasn't planning to touch these things. Once he got there, he could cultivate in peace, with no one bothering him, especially under the protection of the dragons.
Qianye Ying'er stared at the two and felt depressed again. She wanted to ask him what that thing was, but couldn't open her mouth. It felt like the tiny distance that had shrunk between them these past few days had widened again because of Hua Jin's appearance.
She felt deeply depressed. She had abandoned her pride and shamelessly pestered this man, but in the end, another woman had suddenly appeared.
It was a huge blow to her.
"Let's go," Yun Wuji said and left with Hua Jin, not bothering to look at Qianye Ying'er.
"..." For the first time, Qianye Ying'er hesitated on whether she should continue to 'stalk' him. The situation had changed. Before, she was the stronger party. She could easily force her way into his life as long as she ignored his nasty words. But now, if Yun Wuji wanted, he could easily have Hua Jin chase her away.
However, Qianye Ying'er was still a decisive person. Her eyes wavered for only a moment before she shot forward, following them.
...
A few days later, they reached the Gaze Eternity Realm.
Yun Wuji stood at the border of the realm, glancing around. He didn't know where to start searching. However, fortunately, he had a super spy with him. Not only was she skilled in concealment and disguise, but she was also even more powerful when it came to investigation and intelligence gathering.
"Hua Jin, I will be counting on you this time."
"I won't disappoint you, young master," Hua Jin nodded lightly and said solemnly before bursting into multi-colored light and disappearing.
"Hua Jin? So her name is Hua Jin?" Qianye Ying'er felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and then suddenly her eyes shrank. She turned around abruptly and looked at Yun Wuji in shock.
"She is a witch?!"
Although the information the Brahma Monarch God Realm had on the Northern Divine Region was limited, they still knew some things about the King Realms. Naturally, Qianye Ying'er recognized the names and strengths of most of the witches.
"Yep, she is the seventh witch, Hua Jin," Yun Wuji nodded his head casually.
"You... You... Who are you?!" This was too much for Qianye Ying'er to take. The man who had been nothing more than a captive not long ago had just revealed that everything had been done on purpose. And now, she learned that he had deep connections with a Northern Divine Region's King Realm!
"I am Jose Mourinho... cough, I mean... Yun Wuji," Yun Wuji turned around, facing her directly, and spoke as if he were introducing himself for the first time. "And I will become the Pirate King... cough, I mean the Hokage... no, sorry, I mean, the future Emperor of this universe."
He raised his chin high and said arrogantly, "Pledge your loyalty to me now, or you won't have the chance in the future."
"..." Qianye Ying'er was already used to his antics and didn't feel surprised. She rubbed her eyebrows and changed her question, "What is your relationship with the Soul Stealing Realm?"
"Oh, you mean that?" Yun Wuji acted as if he just understood her question. "It's nothing, actually. Chi Wuyao is my woman, so that technically makes me the King of the Soul Stealing Realm...I guess?"
"F$#@!" Qianye Ying'er involuntarily cursed. She instinctively took a step back. Although she knew his background was strong, she didn't expect it to be this exaggerated, the man of the Devil Queen!
The woman who had left a dark shadow in the hearts of two of the strongest God Emperors in the Eastern Divine Region all those years ago. The one Qianye Fantian regarded as the most dreadful person in the universe.
And now, this very woman was actually the lover of the guy in front of her?!
"So you are from the Northern Divine Region?" In her current situation, Qianye Ying'er didn't care about the matters of the devil people; what she cared about was only her revenge.
"No, I am from the Eastern Divine Region. In fact, I came from the lower realm," Yun Wuji shook his head. "I've only been in the God Realm for over half a year. In fact, you're the first strong person I've met."
"However, my luck was quite good. After meeting a bad woman like you, I managed to encounter many wonderful people who wanted to support me in reaching the top."
"..." Qianye Ying'er felt regretful again. If only she hadn't been so hostile when they first met, perhaps things could've turned out vastly different.
Whether she was using him or not, it seemed the Devil Queen was much smarter than her in this regard.
The two no longer spoke, waiting for Hua Jin to return.
A day and a half later, Hua Jin returned and reported, "Young Master, I've found them."
The Gaze Eternity Realm was a Middle-Rank Star Realm, vast in size. But for a 9th level Divine Master, especially someone like Hua Jin, finding a bunch of Wood Spirits hiding was nothing more than a matter of effort.
Heck, if she set her mind to it, she could probably even find the lost panties of the Gaze Eternity Realm's realm king's wife.
"Really?! You are amazing!" Yun Wuji's eyes brightened as he exclaimed. He hadn't had much expectation about finding them here, because he wasn't sure if they were even in this place to begin with. They could have traveled to this realm just to meet the Southern Sea Realm's Crown Prince, but now it seemed they had originally lived here.
But when he thought about it, this seemed reasonable. This realm was the closest to the Eternal Heaven God Realm, and the Eternal Heaven God Realm was the one that had set up the law prohibiting the hunting of Wood Spirits. So, staying here meant they had a much higher chance of surviving.
Hua Jin led him to a remote area hidden deep within a mountain range.
After bypassing a concealment formation, a small community appeared before them, revealing thousands of Wood Spirits.
Children ran around, laughing and playing, while adults kept a watchful eye over them, and others were busy with their tasks.
The village exuded an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
"Royal Wood Spirit!" Qianye Ying'er was surprised by the large number of Wood Spirits, but her focus was quickly drawn to the four individuals living at the center of the village.
