Chapter 942: Chapter 363: [Wine Cellar: Level 4]—Nine Nether Blazing Longevity Brew! (4)

Don’t want to get involved in these trivial matters anymore.

He now just wants to focus on cultivating in the Bone Nightmare Sect for a while, although he doesn’t know when the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother will target him... but within five years should be safe.

However, Nine Nether Incense is indeed hard to find, otherwise it wouldn’t be the case that only the Demon Slave in the entire Bone Nightmare Sect has it.

After thinking it over, Ji Yuan decided to listen to what she had to say first.

Then decide after understanding the situation.

"Miss Demon, feel free to speak directly. What do you need me to do?" Ji Yuan lightly tapped the table surface with his fingers.

The Demon Slave smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Brother Hu doesn’t need to do anything. It’s just that I want to move the island next to Brother Hu... to be neighbors."

"Oh?"

Move over to be neighbors?

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and understood the meaning behind the Demon Slave’s words. This isn’t becoming neighbors; it’s clearly seeking protection.

To be precise, it’s not seeking his protection, but the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s protection!

After all, he’s just an Early-stage Core Formation Cultivator.

What’s there to protect at this early stage of Core Formation?

"Who did you offend?"

Ji Yuan straightforwardly asked.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Slave didn’t answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, she shook her head.

"No, I haven’t offended anyone."

After she spoke, she stood up, placed her hands in front, and gently touched the fingers of her left hand with her right, speaking softly:

"Brother Hu, you’ve probably heard something about me. My looks have indeed brought me quite a bit of trouble."

"So someone is targeting Miss Demon?"

Ji Yuan asked.

With this, it became much simpler.

Nothing more than someone’s coveting her beauty; or, bluntly put, someone’s lusting after her.

"Feng Ma."

The Demon Slave stated directly.

"Him?"

Ji Yuan immediately recalled the Core Formation Cultivator who had traded the divine fire ants with him, who indeed had quite a decent appearance.

Yet, he hadn’t expected him to be the kind to lust after beauty.

Just a mid-stage Core Formation; he hasn’t even apprenticed with a Nascent Soul, so despite any tricks he might have, it’s just that.

If it comes to a confrontation, he doesn’t even need the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s protection; he could take him down himself.

Nevertheless, to be safe, Ji Yuan asked another question.

"Anyone else?"

The Demon Slave, who had been facing away from Ji Yuan, turned around upon hearing this and said with a bitter smile:

"Indeed, Brother Hu sees through everything."

"The real person troubling me is Ma Gui. At first, I could handle Feng Ma, but later Ma Gui set his sights on me. His power and status... left me helpless, so I came seeking Brother Hu’s help."

...Indeed it’s Ma Gui!

No wonder he briefly mentioned the Demon Slave without much explanation when introducing her; now the issue makes sense.

Ji Yuan frowned in thought; if it was only Feng Ma, there would be no hesitation; she could move over.

Just a mid-stage Core Formation, and several like him have already fallen by Ji Yuan’s hand.

But now, involving Ma Gui... it has become troublesome for him.

He definitely wouldn’t dare to confront him.

Thus, it would mean offending Ma Gui.

But is he afraid of offending him?

Ridiculous, would the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother be afraid of Ma Gui?

Furthermore, Ji Yuan and Ma Gui are almost sworn enemies already. Previously, when in Lindong City, Ma Gui threatened him.

Moreover, Ma Gui exposed him to the Black and White Divine Hall, leading to their relentless pursuit of him worldwide.

Even "Brother Changgeng" hides and doesn’t dare show himself.

It’s just because Ji Yuan doesn’t have the certainty to kill Ma Gui yet; otherwise, he would have already lured him out and dealt with him.

So be it; the opportunity is ideal to make Ma Gui distance himself!

As for offending, at some point, he must defect from the Bone Nightmare Sect; what’s a mere Ma Gui?

While in the Bone Nightmare Sect, he has the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother’s protection, Ma Gui wouldn’t dare act. By the time he leaves the sect, even those two Nascent Soul Monsters will likely chase him. By then, a mere Ma Gui is nothing.

"I also realize this might be difficult; if Brother Hu finds it inconvenient, let’s drop it."

The Demon Slave forced a smile and chuckled dryly.

"No worries."

Ji Yuan finally spoke with a smile.

The Demon Slave thought she misheard subconsciously, "What... Brother Hu, what did you say?"

"I said it’s just a mere Ma Gui, no problem."

Ji Yuan showed a calm smile, "If it’s truly just these two, Miss Demon can move over anytime."

"Really?!"

The Demon Slave showed a hint of surprise and joy on her face, "I promise it’s only those two! Even if there are other enemies, they’re just Loose Cultivators. Now that I’ve joined the sect, they wouldn’t dare provoke."

"Within the sect, I have no real foes, just these two causing me trouble."

Ji Yuan slightly nodded.

"Alright, then Miss Demon should prepare to move. If they have any objections, tell them you’re acting under my advisement and let them come to me."

Since he decided to offer protection, Ji Yuan didn’t care much.

After all, the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother has told him that when he’s out, he represents her reputation!

"Great!"

The Demon Slave, hearing this, almost felt like crying with joy, nodding vigorously, trembling with excitement.

"Thank... thank you, Brother Hu!"

The Demon Slave expressed her gratitude with a deep bow to Ji Yuan and then quickly pushed the bottle of Nine Nether Incense towards him.

"I shall go back and prepare now."
