"How could you bear to leave Pingfan and come back alone?"
Chu Xuan asked with a chuckle.
You'er and Chu Pingfan were inseparable. Seeing her come back alone, there had to be something going on.
You'er pouted and said, "Grandfather, there's an old lady who pesters Fan Fan every day. Do you think I should turn her into a ghost?"
"Fan Fan already said that he doesn't like the old lady, yet she still keeps coming over. She's too annoying."
"Moreover, I heard that she's engaged to be married, but for Fan Fan, she actually wants to break the marriage engagement. That fiancé of hers isn't simple either. He's very powerful."
"Before Fan Fan arrived at the Easter Region, he was known as the number one genius of the Eastern Region."
You'er chattered non-stop. She was complaining about Yu Beibei, who she felt was too annoying and pestered Chu Pingfan too much.
However, although she hated on Yu Beibei in her speech, she actually liked Yu Beibei's body. She would possess Yu Beibei's body and perform intimate acts with Chu Pingfan.
Chu Xuan had a strange look on his face when he heard that.
He felt that the relationship between Chu Pingfan, You'er, and Yu Beibei did not seem quite right.
You'er said shyly, "Ancestor, is there any way for my ghostly possession to not affect Yu Beibei adversely?"
Chu Xuan was speechless. You'er came back alone for this matter?
Yu Beibei had not even reached the Emperor realm, but You'er was already at the ninth level of the Emperor realm.
The speed at which You'er advanced was within Chu Xuan's expectations. You'er's talent was terrifying. In the Eastern Region, she had probably devoured some remnant souls and refined some divine souls. It was inevitable that her strength would increase so quickly.
The cultivation of the ghost race was different from that of cultivators in the nine zones.
She was a ninth-level Emperor realm ghost, and the person she possessed was not even an Emperor realm cultivator. Even if she suppressed her ghostly aura, it would still have a big impact on Yu Beibei.
For example, her qi and blood essence would decline, and her spirit would become weak.
If she was possessed for a long time, she might even turn into an existence that was neither human nor ghost.
"You came back because of this matter?"
"Not really."
You'er said shyly, "I wanted an elder to come with me to the Eastern Region to strengthen the ghost race, but I don't want to be ordered around by him..."
Chu Xuan understood.
The Eastern Region was prosperous. Emperor realm cultivators were not rare there, which meant that fights between them happened fairly often too. If their physical bodies were destroyed in battle, and their divine souls somehow escaped, they could be transformed into ghosts.
Moreover, there had to be many experts in the Eastern Region who had lost their physical bodies and only had their divine souls. They were probably struggling to survive in some unknown corners of the Eastern Region.
Given You'er's talent, she could use some of the methods described in the Ancient Netherworld Scripture to find these divine souls.
This was the best way to quickly strengthen the ghost race.
You'er's strength was insufficient. At the very least, she needed a Heaven realm ghost expert to hold down the fort.
Those Heaven realm ghost experts were all her elders. If they followed her to the Eastern Region, You'er would have to listen to their orders and would not have the autonomy to take action as she saw fit.
That was why she had come back to find Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan needed to strengthen the ghost race. Moreover, he valued You'er very much, as she carried the with her the fate of the ghost race.
It could be said that You'er was the fated daughter of the ghost race.
"Alright, I'll do as you wish."
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and the Fengdu Secret Realm was moved out and held in his palm.
All the ghost race members inside came out and knelt on the ground.
"From today onward, You'er is the Holy Maiden of the ghost race. Her status is not inferior to the Ghost King, and she is not under the Ghost King's jurisdiction. She carries the fate of the ghost race."
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a small gray bell appeared in front of You'er.
"This is the Holy Maiden's bell. It can suppress souls, absorb souls, and control souls. None of the ghosts will dare to disobey you with it."
You'er was overjoyed. She took the bell and knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
The other ghost race members all bowed to You'er. "Greetings, Holy Maiden!"
You'er beamed and waved her hand. "Rise."
She played with the bell in her hand and was extremely happy. This was an important treasure, and she had formed a spiritual connection with it. No one could take it away from her.
Chu Xuan then pointed at a sixth-level Heaven realm elder of the ghost race and said, "You'll follow You'er for now. Listen to her orders. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Ghost Ancestor!"
The ghost race elder bowed respectfully.
No one dared to disobey the orders of the ghost ancestor. Moreover, everyone could see that You'er was more important to Chu Xuan than anyone else.
This much could be seen from the way she addressed him.
Who in the same generation as You'er dared to call her "Grandfather"?
You'er was the only one who dared to call him that.
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and the Fengdu Secret Realm and the ghosts returned to the pocket dimension.
The Heaven realm ghost elder's figure flashed, and he entered You'er's bell.
You'er put away the bell, and she looked at Chu Xuan and continued to coyly say, "Grandfather, is there any way to prevent Yu Beibei from being adversely affected by my ghostly possession?"
"Why do you have to possess her?"
Chu Xuan was speechless.
"Isn't she obsessed with Fan Fan? She's also very beautiful. I enjoy controlling her body and playing with Fan Fan. It's very interesting."
You'er blushed slightly.
"Also, that fiancé of hers is a little annoying. If I possess her to do the deed with Fan Fan, I can help her get rid of the marriage engagement, and then later defeat that fiancé of hers. Then, she can follow Fan Fan in the future and be his maid. Isn't that great?"
The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. You'er was controlling Yu Beibei's body and "playing" with Chu Pingfan. What was going on?
He did not know what Chu Pingfan was thinking. Why did he not resist?
Look at how silly and dull he was. How could a young man like him be so good at "playing"?
Chu Xuan sighed in his heart. He had been a shut-in for so many years. He could not keep up with the times and was getting old.
Young people nowadays really knew how to "play"!
Looking at You'er's expectant eyes, Chu Xuan sighed. Forget it. These young people could do what they wanted. He would just grant them their wish.
"She's too weak. She should at least be at the Emperor realm."
As he spoke, he took out a pill and refined it again. He passed it to you 'er and said, "This pill can help her break through to the Emperor realm quickly. I'll also teach you a minor technique. You can teach it to her. In the future, when you possess her body, there won't be any adverse effects."
Given Chu Xuan's current cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to help Yu Beibei break through to the Emperor realm quickly. Moreover, Yu Beibei's talent was not too shabby.
He passed the pill to You'er and taught her a minor technique.
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
You'er was overjoyed.
"You'er, is there anything you don't understand?"
"Yes, there is!" You'er nodded her head and said.
Next, Chu Xuan gave You'er some pointers and taught her an even more profound secret technique from the Ancient Netherworld Scripture.
Chu Xuan had witnessed You'er's battle with Ling Baiyun. As a result, he wanted to make up for You'er's weakness and make her ghostly powers and body even stronger.
"Grandfather, I'm going back to the Eastern Region."
"Go ahead."
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
As he watched You'er leave, Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. There was another reason why he was helping Yu Beibei like this.
Yu Beibei's fiancé was Ling Baiyun, who hailed from the Ling family of the Eastern Region. He was known as the number one genius of the Eastern Region.
He was the son of the fate of the Eastern Region!
Chu Xuan was trying to transfer the fate of the Eastern Region to Chu Pingfan. He wanted Chu Pingfan to replace Ling Baiyun and become the son of the fate of the Eastern Region!
If he succeeded, only the son of the fate of the Central Region would not be under Chu Xuan's command. The rest from the other four regions of the Northern Zone would be his disciples.
