Chapter 963: The Thigh That Comes to You

"Alright, I’ll lead Lin Lei’s army around a few times, then head to that City Mansion up ahead. You go bring the Demon Clan or the three Judicator Families’ army over," Ye Xiu said.

Long Qian’s eyes lit up, "Ingenious plan, great! I’ll go right away, hold on!"

"Don’t worry, my endurance is top-notch!" Ye Xiu replied.

Long Qian hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was off about Ye Xiu’s words. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it, she seized an opportunity and slipped underground, heading straight for the gathering place of the three Judicator Families’ army.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu changed direction, heading west, and simultaneously sent a text message to You Ming.

After running for over ten minutes, he began heading south, directly towards the pursuing Lin Lei army.

This left the Fourth Realm War Gods chasing Ye Xiu completely baffled. Was he trying to deliver himself right into their hands?

"This guy doesn’t have a strong sense of direction. He’s zigzagging around, confused, and now he’s running towards our army, hahahaha..."

"I’m dying of laughter, Red Water City actually sent a muddle-headed spy..."

"He’s doomed!"

Ye Xiu didn’t run far before he saw Lin Lei’s army approaching head-on. He then turned to run east.

Like this, Ye Xiu resembled a lost lamb being chased by a pack of wolves, darting around wildly.

After an unknown stretch of running, You Ming sent a text message:

"Long Qian has attracted a group from north to south, heading towards the agreed county city."

Ye Xiu was close to the city at this point, read the text, and plunged into the city, running north.

"Not good, he’s trying to hide in the city."

The Fourth Realm War Gods chasing him adopted a look of enlightenment as if they’ve unraveled Ye Xiu’s scheme.

"Signal the entire army to head to this City Mansion."

Instantly, a Fourth Realm War God took out a signal flare from his bag, and with a bang, the signal lit up the sky.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu was nearly infuriated, thinking: You should have said you had a signal gun earlier. Did I really have to run a marathon with you guys?

"Hmm?"

Ye Xiu then saw Long Qian running towards him from afar, followed by a huge crowd.

They could be from the Demon Clan, or the three Judicator Families.

"Haha, my reinforcements are here!"

Ye Xiu burst into laughter and suddenly turned to attack the pursuing Fourth Realm War Gods, acting as if the people Long Qian brought were his backup.

At the same time, Long Qian also turned to attack those chasing her, calling out:

"Come save me..."

The Fourth Realm War Gods chasing Ye Xiu had already seen Long Qian earlier. They had seen her pursuing Ye Xiu alongside them and running faster.

This induced an instinctual belief that Long Qian was one of their own.

"Quick, go save her!"

A Fourth Realm War God yelled, and immediately the ones besieging Ye Xiu left only two behind, rushing to rescue Long Qian.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu casually dispatched the two surrounding him, and bolted west.

He had no wish to be part of this war!

After Long Qian saw the group she attracted engage in battle with Ye Xiu’s pursuers, she seized an unnoticed moment and delved underground!

Ye Xiu had just reached the outskirts when Long Qian suddenly emerged from the ground right in front of him, seemingly on course for a collision.

At this moment, Ye Xiu pondered whether to make a sudden stop.

Forget it!

Let’s give Long Qian a freebie!

And so!

Ye Xiu crashed into Long Qian’s embrace.

Long Qian had planned to suddenly emerge and give Ye Xiu a scare as a prank, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiu dove straight into her arms!

"Aiyo..."

Long Qian staggered back a step, falling to the ground.

Ye Xiu found himself sprawling over her.

"Who dares to ambush me?"

Ye Xiu feigned reflex action and swung a punch towards Long Qian’s face.

"It’s me, it’s me, don’t hit..." Long Qian hollered.

"You?"

Ye Xiu pretended to just recognize her, asking:

"Why did you suddenly pop up in front of me, gave me such a fright."

Long Qian pursed her lips, about to explain, suddenly became aware of the unbecoming situation with Ye Xiu on top of her, promptly pushed him away, stood up saying:

"I intended to tease you a bit, didn’t think you would actually crash into me."

Hehe, I did it on purpose... Ye Xiu nodded,"Oh!"

Long Qian then took a closer look at Ye Xiu, admiringly noted:

"Ugly, yet clever and a quick thinker. Well...since Long Kun is dead, how about you come along with me from now on?"

Ye Xiu immediately slipped into character, feigning shock, "He’s, he’s dead? How did he die?"

"No clue!"

Long Qian gave a rueful shake of her head and inquired:

"What’s your name?"

Damn!

Time to make up a name again!!

Ye Xiu casually said, "I am Ximen Officer, what’s yours?"

"I’m Long Qian!" Long Qian grinned as she awaited Ye Xiu’s astonished expression.

Ye Xiu did not disappoint her, feigning surprise, "You’re Long Qian, one of the eight attendants under the Hall Master?"

"Exactly!"

Long Qian proudly puffed her chest, very satisfied with Ye Xiu’s reaction, asked:

"You haven’t answered yet, are you willing to follow me?"

Hehe, you’re inviting a wolf into the fold, young lady; I’ll take down your Dragon King’s Palace in one fell swoop.

"Yes, yes!"

Ye Xiu feigned delight, "Truly hit the jackpot here, does this mean I’ve got company with the elite?"

Long Qian chuckled at Ye Xiu’s overjoyed babbling, said:

"Indeed, but my company is no easy task, you’d better hold tight. If..."

Before she finished talking, Ye Xiu suddenly crouched down and hugged her right leg.

"What are you doing?" Long Qian asked, bewildered.

"Weren’t you telling me to hold tight?"

Ye Xiu replied, couldn’t deny the feel of Long Qian’s leg...tsk tsk...

"Get up!"

Long Qian chided without pleasure, saying:

"I meant to perform well, not literally cling to my leg."

"Oh oh!"

Ye Xiu hurriedly released her leg, stood up asking:

"Then how should I perform?"

Long Qian laughed, suddenly realized Prometheus was rather lovable despite being a bit unsightly, stated:

"The Demon Clan and three Judicator Families have had a week of truce, now go make them fight again."

"How to make them fight again?" Ye Xiu asked.

If I had a way, would I send you for it?

Long Qian muttered internally, voicing:

"It’s a test for you, only by accomplishing this task will I consider you a confidant at my side."

"Ah..."

Ye Xiu rubbed his chin, pondered a moment, said:

"This task isn’t particularly difficult, but I need you to do me a favor."

Long Qian’s eyes brightened, thinking she found a treasure; this ugly fellow actually seemed quite smart.

Asked, "Tell me, as long as you succeed in the task, I’ll provide every assistance you require."

"I need you to use Purple Pupil to control some Earth System Totem Inheritors and Fire System Totem Inheritors from the three Judicator Families," Ye Xiu said.

Smart people don’t need to spell things out, a hint is sufficient.

However!

Ye Xiu overestimated Long Qian’s intelligence!

"Why do you need so many Earth and Fire System Totem Inheritors?" Long Qian asked.
