Chapter 486

Honestly, Shangguan Jiujiu had felt that Bai Xichu looked somewhat familiar just now.

But upon hearing Ye Yu mention Bai Miaoling, she immediately understood why the familiarity struck her.

Because these two women looked incredibly alike.

And they both shared the surname Bai.

Could it be that they were sisters?

Combined with what Ye Yu said—it seemed he didn’t want them to meet.

Shangguan Jiujiu keenly sensed something unusual.

Her gaze grew playfully sharp.

To be honest, if this were a Heavenly Realm novel with a strong female lead, this situation would definitely be a juicy plot.

The benefit of whispered conversation was that no one else could overhear.

But to be honest, Bai Xichu was still a Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.

Her mind was extremely sharp.

Seeing Ye Yu and Shangguan Jiujiu remain silent,

And the latter looking at her with a somewhat "ill-intentioned" expression,

That alone was enough to reveal the problem.

Bai Xichu’s eyes instantly turned icy cold.

She turned to look at Ye Yu and asked deliberately, word by word, “Are you hiding something from me?”

“I’m not, you’re overthinking it,” Ye Yu replied awkwardly, giving Shangguan Jiuu a sharp glance to tell her to tone it down a bit.

Seeing that, Shangguan Jiuu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: “My husband wouldn’t have anything going on. Sister Bai, maybe you’re overthinking?”

Bai Xichu said nothing, instead casting a piercing gaze back and forth between Shangguan Jiujiu and Ye Yu.

The pressure of a Demon Lord was rapidly rising.

In her prime within the dream realm, Bai Xichu had ruled over an entire province.

The aura of a Demon Lord she carried was extremely domineering.

Seeing this atmosphere, Ye Yu had no choice but to say, “Don’t make the mood so tense.

If there’s something to discuss, let’s talk alone.”

With that, Ye Yu took Bai Xichu’s hand and started walking outside.

Watching their departing backs,

Shangguan Jiujiu’s eyes glinted with the fire of gossip.

At that moment, Zhuo Lanqing finally looked up.

Seeing her close friend’s rare expression, she felt curious.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing much, just some little secrets with my husband,” Shangguan Jiuu replied, a faint smile growing on her face.

Meanwhile,

To cover the truth, Ye Yu directly pulled Bai Xichu aside and said, “I was indeed whispering to Shangguan Jiuu just now.

You just arrived, so I asked her to prepare a small gift for you.

From now on, you two should consider each other sisters and get along harmoniously—that’s best.”

“Is that so?” Bai Xichu raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly skeptical.

But who was Ye Yu?

A man who had faced countless marital battles without retreating an inch.

How could he fear such a small doubt?

“Absolutely true! Really true!” Ye Yu nodded seriously.

His expression held only one word: sincerity.

For the moment, Bai Xichu couldn’t find any fault.

Of course, her mind wasn’t really on this matter.

Her true purpose for coming was for that woman.

So Bai Xichu glanced around and softly said, “Where is Bai Miaoling? Have her come out and see me.”

Ye Yu’s heart jumped.

So she really hadn’t forgotten this matter.

“Bai Miaoling is currently in seclusion and hasn’t emerged yet.

You just arrived; why are you in such a hurry to see her?

Why not rest a bit first, wait for her to come out?”

Ye Yu reacted quickly and immediately prepared to lead Bai Xichu northward.

Though she resisted somewhat,

She was ultimately convinced by his last words.

“Let’s go. She’s secluded here; she’s not going anywhere.

I’ll take you to see something good first.

Hurry!”

In the end, Bai Xichu gave up resisting and said nothing more.

The next morning,

Ye Yu quietly came to Bai Miaoling’s place of seclusion, sensing the extremely calm aura inside.

Confirming there was no sign of emergence,

He finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Husband!”

A soft call startled Ye Yu, tensing his whole body as he slowly looked back.

When he saw it was Shangguan Jiujiu,

He relaxed.

Then he poked Shangguan Jiuu’s small nose.

Whispering, “What are you doing? Trying to scare me?”

“Not at all. Husband asked me yesterday to keep watch here.

So I’m guarding here, just hidden in the shadows!

Come, husband, tell me—what exactly is the relationship between Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling?”

Shangguan Jiujiu was extremely curious.

But this question also troubled Ye Yu.

On this journey,

He had asked Bai Xichu many times what the relationship was between these two witches.

But every time, he got no answer.

Bai Xichu always gave a cold smile,

Telling Ye Yu to ask Bai Miaoling.

If Bai Miaoling didn’t say, then Bai Xichu naturally wouldn’t say either.

When they met, he would inevitably learn everything.

Honestly, human curiosity is enormous.

Especially when hearing half a sentence—it’s the hardest to stop!

Ye Yu also wanted to know the answer but had no one to ask.

He certainly couldn’t just barge into the seclusion place and wake Bai Miaoling.

That would be a bit too much.

Ye Yu secretly hoped Bai Miaoling and Bai Xichu wouldn’t meet for several years.

By then, he would be confident enough to fix Bai Xichu’s extremely possessive nature.

So, facing Shangguan Jiujiu’s °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° curious question now,

Ye Yu could only shake his head slightly: “I don’t really know.

They don’t say.”

“Oh?”

Shangguan Jiuu exclaimed, a smile uncontrollable at the corner of her mouth.

Juicy gossip, huge gossip, maybe even earth-shattering gossip!

Her expression instantly made Ye Yu feel utterly exasperated.

“Stop, don’t overthink.

Their relationship can’t be too shocking.

Otherwise, it definitely wouldn’t escape Shen He’s wrath.

What you have to do now is guard Bai Miaoling well, don’t let her come out.

Seclusion means seclusion!

And absolutely, absolutely don’t tell her Bai Xichu has come to Wuwei Tower.

Both of them are famously hot-tempered.

If they meet too soon, I really fear something will happen!”

Just as Ye Yu finished speaking,

The aura inside the seclusion place began to surge violently.

This seemed to be the sign of emergence.

Ye Yu’s face immediately stiffened.

Without hesitation,

He quickly cast a formation, sealing this place into a unique realm,

Preventing anything inside from being seen outside.

At the same time, he stood vigilantly by the entrance.

After a moment,

The door to the seclusion place slowly opened, and a thick immortal aura poured out.

Bai Miaoling had completely entered the Xuanxian realm.

During her seclusion, she had crossed an entire great realm.

Such speed was truly a miracle.

Bai Miaoling was in high spirits, eager to share the news with Ye Yu.

However, just as she was about to step out,

A palm suddenly pushed her back inside.
