Chapter 323: Chapter 321: Opening Maid Xia Chan’s Mouth—Is This the Nine Nether Realm?!

Holding this storage ring, Ye Youyu suddenly thought of the biggest problem.

This outsider is just a Tier Two, without any background, and needs to climb the mountain to collect herbs.

Under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t have the strength to own a storage ring.

Immediately, the eyes of the Red-clothed Domain Master turned sharp, and she asked, "Then where did the storage ring in your hand come from? Don’t tell this Domain Master... you picked it up too!"

Such words might deceive a three-year-old child but not Ye Youyu, who has ruled a domain for years!

Hearing this, Lu Ye was taken aback. He did not expect Ye Youyu would think so deeply, even considering the loophole of the storage ring.

Unfortunately... Lu Ye could actually tell the truth about the origin of the storage ring!

"This was given by a... young lady," Lu Ye said slowly.

This storage ring was the one Chen Lingxiang gave him back then; Lu Ye had always kept it.

Ye Youyu: "???"

Originally feeling that this answer was unreliable, but looking at the outsider’s face...

Ye Youyu felt again... perhaps it wasn’t entirely impossible for someone to have gifted it to him.

This damned pretty face, with such low strength, yet really pleasing to the eye!

...

After a short moment, she asked a few more questions. Ye Youyu pondered and found his story mostly checked out.

This outsider did accidentally arrive here.

Then, Ye Youyu disconnected the control of the enchanting skill.

However, those two source crystals were silently taken by the Red-clothed Domain Master without a trace.

This action, Lu Ye naturally noticed.

He did not expect that the dignified Tier Seven Ghost King, a domain master, would actually...

Suppressing that strange faint allure, she ordered to temporarily place this outsider in a small courtyard at the outer perimeter of the underground palace for proper care.

Ye Youyu gazed at the two source crystals in her hand, untainted by this world’s corruption, lost in thought.

On the other side, Lu Ye, who had walked out of the great hall, had his eyes covered with a black cloth, unable to see the situation inside the underground palace.

At this moment, Lu Ye was being led by a maid, heading outside.

"This way... young master, please follow me."

The maid led the blindfolded Lu Ye all the way outside quickly, arriving at the edge of the underground palace.

The architecture here was not as luxurious as the core of the underground palace, and the lingering cold aura was significantly weaker.

Creaaak...

The sound of pushing open the courtyard door resounded as a voice came again.

"You’re called Lu Xuan, right? From now on, I’ll call you Young Master Lu. Alright, Young Master Lu, you can remove the blindfold now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye removed the blindfold, revealing a small courtyard before him, also enveloped by a faint cold aura like other places.

Fortunately, Lu Ye exhibited Postnatal Realm cultivation, capable of warding off the invasion of such Yin Qi. If an ordinary person were to stay in this underground palace...

It wouldn’t take a few days before they were afflicted by the Yin Qi, incurring ailments.

This place is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to stay.

"Young Master Lu, I am called Xia Chan. If you ever need anything or lack anything, feel free to tell me, I will do my utmost to assist you." The maid Xia Chan bowed to Lu Ye.

This outsider was specifically instructed by the domain master to reside here and be well taken care of.

Xia Chan was also assigned to be responsible for looking after Lu Ye.

"Thank you for your trouble." Lu Ye nodded and smiled at the maid.

Upon hearing Lu Ye’s gratitude, Xia Chan, who was about to leave the small courtyard, paused slightly.

Seeing the young man showing a smile, seemingly not much troubled by being in the Otherworld, Xia Chan thought for a moment and whispered.

"By the way, I might be speaking out of line, but You Zhan’s temper is not very good... You better not easily leave this courtyard."

Hearing this soft reminder, Lu Ye’s expression became serious, earnestly saying, "Thank you, Miss Xia Chan, for the warning. I will remember it."

Waving her hand, Xia Chan did not linger and quickly hurried off.

Originally, she should not have said such words.

Watching Xia Chan leave, Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You Zhan... the malice from otherworldly NPCs?"

Regarding You Zhan’s threat, Lu Ye didn’t feel much pressure.

The Tier Five cultivators of this world should be equivalent to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster.

That Red-clothed Domain Master Ye Youyu... was the true ultimate boss requiring effort!

"A Tier Seven Ghost King... corresponding to a Celestial Realm Grandmaster?"

Celestial Realm... indeed somewhat terrifying, worthy of being the master of a domain.

Scanning the courtyard’s environment, Lu Ye found it alright; he had never been particular about his residence.

"I just don’t know how to connect with the Youyu Domain Master to start the trial... no, start the trial mission."

Lu Ye pondered that the Red Cloud Sect Secret Realm only had three days, and this time, he probably couldn’t leave before the Secret Realm closed.

In the Illusion Realm, although time flows faster than the outside world, Lu Ye wasn’t confident he could complete this trial.

If it couldn’t be completed, the longer he stayed here, the more time would be wasted.

So, after consideration, he set a timeframe for himself.

If he couldn’t make any connection with the Youyu Domain Master in three months... then he would activate the Illusory Void Light Sphere and leave here.

"This is that terrifying Tier Seven Ghost King’s palace, surely full of experts, not suitable for cultivation..."

Lu Ye slightly sensed the Heaven and Earth energy in the air...

"No, this doesn’t feel like normal Heaven and Earth Source Qi... it seems to be mixed with something strange?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Soon, Lu Ye discovered that the Heaven and Earth Source Qi in this world had issues!

This time, Lu Ye’s expression truly turned serious.

Doesn’t this mean if he strikes in this world and wants to recover...

He can only absorb this slightly peculiar Heaven and Earth energy to replenish?

"Is it because of my Source Qi that Ye Youyu was able to detect something off about my aura?"

Fortunately, Lu Ye had some recovery elixirs previously given by Youluo, which now proved useful.

"This Youluo, by chance, did a right thing."

Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

For now, he didn’t have a solid idea on how to connect with the Youyu Domain Master.

...

Quickly, Lu Ye stayed in the small courtyard on the edge of the underground palace for half a month.

This half month, the Youyu Domain Master seemed to have forgotten about him, with no movement at all.

However, Lu Ye wasn’t without any gains.

Every two or three days, Xia Chan would come over as usual to check on the outsider the domain master had instructed her to look after.

After Lu Ye earnestly employed Blue Star’s social skills, he finally started to get Xia Chan to open up...

Occasionally able to obtain some information from Xia Chan.

"Has Sister Xia Chan arrived? Even better looking than yesterday." Lu Ye said smilingly as the maid Xia Chan entered the courtyard after knocking.

"Stop trying to trick me, I don’t believe your nonsense, outsider." Xia Chan looked serious.

But the occasional look in her eyes showed that she, at least, didn’t dislike such sweet words.

"By the way, Sister Xia Chan, I forgot to ask you, is our Youyu Realm the only Spirit Realm in this world?" Lu Ye asked with a smile.

"Of course not..." Xia Chan whispered, "Our Nine Nether Realm has a total of five great domains..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s mind suddenly roared.

...Right, the Nine Nether Realm?!
