Chapter 466

At this moment, Ye Yu was utterly dumbfounded.

He had absolutely no idea what was happening.

Why, all of a sudden, was this woman, Ran Jingjing, dragging him off somewhere?

What exactly was she trying to do?

A few breaths later—

Ran Jingjing suddenly stopped, staring gravely into the distance.

Only then did Ye Yu finally get a chance to catch his breath.

Following her gaze, he saw countless crimson-eyed crows converging to form a human-shaped ghost.

It took the form of a cold-faced middle-aged man.

In a hoarse voice, he said, "Come back with me, and perhaps you'll be spared from death!"

"How about you scram right now, and perhaps I’ll spare you instead!" Ran Jingjing sneered, reaching out her right hand toward Ye Yu.

Seeing that delicate white palm, Ye Yu hesitated, still utterly clueless as to her intentions.

Ran Jingjing grasped repeatedly but found nothing in her hand, then urgently transmitted her voice to him: "Quickly, give me the item—otherwise, we'll both die here today!"

Ye Yu was thoroughly baffled.

He quickly asked, "At least tell me clearly what exactly you want?"

Ran Jingjing facepalmed with one hand, exasperated. "The Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag! Hurry up and give it to me!"

Before her voice faded, the middle-aged man opposite them was already rushing forward.

Left with no choice, Ran Jingjing immediately moved to meet him.

The two instantly transformed into beams of light, locked in fierce combat.

Yet, after just a brief exchange, Ran Jingjing was already showing signs of losing ground.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Yu hesitated again and again.

Ultimately, he decided to take out the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag from his storage ring!

The instant it appeared—

—the flag transformed into a streak of green light, shooting upward swiftly.

Landing in Ran Jingjing's grasp, it suddenly expanded tens of times larger—

—transforming into a gigantic flag.

Even the tall-statured Ran Jingjing appeared petite before it.

She vigorously waved the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag.

Instantly, tens of thousands of skeleton-armored warriors emerged upon the ground.

Each emitted dense, formidable ghostly qi.

Every one of them possessed strength at the Profound Ghost realm.

Such a vast skeleton army was enough to strike terror into anyone’s heart.

Yet Ran Jingjing didn't pause there!

Her left hand formed a seal as she flicked the flag with her right.

Using its front side this time, she unleashed a cloud of black mist that slowly settled over the skeletal warriors.

The green on their bodies became even more vivid and translucent, looking eerily enchanting from afar!

Ran Jingjing pointed at the distant middle-aged man, coldly commanding, "Kill him!"

Thousands of skeleton warriors transformed into streams of light, streaking swiftly toward the sky.

Realizing something was wrong, the middle-aged man immediately turned to flee.

But Ran Jingjing didn’t miss this perfect opportunity to beat a dog while it was down.

Holding aloft the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag, she chased closely behind—

—displaying boundless heroic spirit.

Watching their disappearing figures—

—Ye Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

So, this was how the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag was meant to be used?

He certainly learned something new today.

But now, he was alone here, feeling rather awkward.

Had he been tricked?

The thought had just appeared when he immediately dismissed it.

The reason was simple—if Ran Jingjing genuinely wanted the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag, she wouldn’t need to stage such a complicated show.

With her strength, she could easily kill him, break open the restrictions on his storage ring, and take the flag.

Yet she hadn’t done that—instead, she had openly asked him for it.

That was precisely why Ye Yu willingly handed over the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag earlier, once Ran Jingjing seemed disadvantaged.

As expected—

—moments later, Ran Jingjing returned through the sky, carrying the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag.

She casually threw the flag back to Ye Yu.

"Damn it, that bastard got away," she grumbled irritably.

Holding the flag once again, Ye Yu raised his head slightly, looking confused.

In fact, from Ran Jingjing’s earlier expert handling of the flag—

—Ye Yu already strongly suspected that it likely belonged to her.

Even if it wasn’t, she was certainly its previous owner.

But wasn’t this too polite?

Returning it promptly after using it!

Such class—he really appreciated that!

Ye Yu carefully put the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag back into his storage ring, cupping his fists as he said, "Then, Miss Ran, we'll part ways here. Until we meet again!"

"Wait!"

Ran Jingjing immediately called out to stop Ye Yu, giving him a strange look. ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) "Did I hear correctly? You're planning to leave just like that?"

"Aren't you going to listen to what I have to say?"

Ye Yu shook his head lightly, smiling gently.

"No need for thanks. It was just a trivial gesture."

Ran Jingjing was instantly dumbfounded.

With disbelief, she asked, "Thanks? Who exactly should thank whom?"

Ye Yu reflexively replied, "I lent you my Ghost Immortal Artifact to use—naturally, you're thanking me. Though I don't need any thanks."

"Why, is there an issue?"

Ran Jingjing first nodded blankly, then immediately shook her head vigorously.

"What thanking are you talking about?! The Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag is originally my Life-bound Ghost Immortal Artifact!"

"Though my connection with it was later severed, it still belongs to me!"

"I used my own thing, and you expect me to thank you?"

Ye Yu also sensed something wasn't right.

He softly asked, "Then, what exactly do you mean?"

Ran Jingjing lifted her chin proudly, declaring, "If anyone should say thanks, it’s you!"

"The reason I returned the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag to you—"

"—is because I'm implicitly accepting you as my disciple!"

"From now on, you'll be my final and most cherished disciple, occasionally carrying around the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag and such."

"I'll be honest with you—this master is currently at mid-stage Nether Ghost!"

"If you obediently follow me, reaching Heavenly Ghost realm in the future isn’t just a dream."

"This is a huge, heaven-sent opportunity—I advise you not to miss out!"

After hearing all that—

—Ye Yu’s forehead was instantly covered in black lines.

Final cherished disciple, occasionally carrying the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag?

She really had some audacity.

Did he even agree to this? Yet here she was already acting like his master.

Such shameless familiarity?!

Ye Yu shot Ran Jingjing a mocking smile—

—and turned to leave!

He genuinely had no patience left to deal with her nonsense!

So what if she was a Nether Ghost? If she really provoked him—

—he’d just self-destruct and start over!

If he ever returned to the Underworld again someday, he'd definitely beat her face until flowers bloomed—otherwise, he wouldn't call himself Ye!

Seeing Ye Yu about to leave—

—Ran Jingjing hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey! Ye Yu! Are you really just going to leave like that?"

Ye Yu stopped in his tracks, turning to ask coldly, "How do you know my name? I don’t recall ever telling it to you."
