“You’re the woman who tried to scam me back then?”
To be honest, Ye Yu’s memory wasn’t particularly outstanding.
Especially after experiencing so many dreams and encountering countless humans, demons, immortals, ghosts, and monsters.
Sometimes he often felt others looked familiar, yet he forgot where he had met them.
But Ye Yu had a vivid memory of the palace-clad woman before him.
The reason was simple.
Not only because this woman had helped him defeat Xiao Jibo, the lord of Dingling City.
More importantly, she was the first person in the Underworld who, without saying a word upon meeting, immediately tried to scam him.
Her entrance was fierce—wielding thunderous, extraordinary power, like the lord of destruction.
Yet afterward, she fainted upon seeing people and threw herself into their arms.
Big sister, you really are full of contradictions!
Luckily, Ying Naiyan was right by his side back then and witnessed everything.
Otherwise, Ye Yu wouldn’t have been able to explain it properly.
Dongkui slightly raised her brows and asked in confusion, “Scam? What do you mean by scam? Have we met before?”
Ying Naiyan by her side smiled awkwardly.
To be honest, she didn’t really know what “scam” meant either.
But judging by Ye Yu’s expression and tone, it was definitely not a compliment.
So she hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
“Master, my husband’s thoughts are a bit... scattered. Don’t take it too seriously.
By the way, let me introduce — this is my husband, Ye Yu!
And this is my master, Dongkui, a Ghost King Realm cultivator!”
(Underworld ranks: Ghost Immortal, Mysterious Ghost, Earth Ghost, Heaven Ghost, Underworld Ghost, Ghost Lord, Ghost King, Ghost Emperor!)
Ying Naiyan spoke while winking at Ye Yu.
She hoped he wouldn’t bring up that incident again.
Since returning to reality, Ying Naiyan had found that no one else knew about what happened in the dream.
Not even the most powerful Dongkui had any recollection of it, as if it never happened.
By now, Ying Naiyan was accustomed to everyone’s “amnesia.”
She knew it was best if she alone remained aware.
She must not reveal this.
Otherwise, it would surely cause disaster.
Not only would no one believe her, but they might even treat her as an outcast or possessed by a malicious spirit.
That would be far too costly!
With Ying Naiyan’s reminder, Ye Yu also realized the issue.
So he didn’t insist and prepared to salute politely.
After all, she was his wife’s master and deserved respect.
Just then, Dongkui suddenly stepped forward excitedly, pointing at Ye Yu.
“You...”
“What about me?”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
What did she mean?
Could it be that this female ghost also remembered the dream?
For heaven’s sake, Ye Yu and her had no real contact.
The only interaction was when she fainted into his arms.
Besides that, nothing.
So why would she remember the dream?
Not only Ye Yu thought so; Ying Naiyan also became excited.
What? The master is awakening memories from the dream too?
That was truly great.
“Your aura is off—you’re not a ghost!”
Dongkui grabbed Ye Yu’s wrist, confirming her suspicion.
His body wasn’t cold, but warm!
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
Then his figure flickered and he stepped back two meters.
“How did you find out? I clearly concealed my aura completely.”
“In the Underworld, no one conceals their ghost aura without reason.
The density of ghost aura reflects one’s strength.
Even if you want to be low-key, a bit always leaks out.
Someone like you, with no ghost aura at all, is suspicious.
I was just testing you, didn’t expect I was right!”
Dongkui smiled playfully.
Then she carefully examined Ye Yu.
“If you’re not a ghost, then what are you? An immortal? A demon? Or a monster?”
The universe was vast and full of wonders.
In the huge Underworld, many unexpected strange things often happened.
But since the Six Realms’ passages closed,
Dongkui had never seen anyone from other realms come here.
Now that one finally came, she was naturally very curious.
But the next second, a strong ghost aura suddenly burst from Ye Yu’s body.
The power was nearly on par with the Ghost King Realm.
This sudden change made Dongkui’s expression extremely strange.
Had she guessed wrong?
Impossible!
“What do you say I am now?”
Ye Yu’s ghost aura surged.
All thanks to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map, which he had concealed well.
Then worried Dongkui might not believe him, he focused his mind and performed the Ghost Immortal Technique Burning the Nine Nether.
In an instant, dense black flames erupted from his body.
The pure Ghost Immortal Technique was proof enough.
Seeing this, Dongkui had to admit she was wrong.
After some small talk, she left on some pretext.
After she left, Ying Naiyan hurried over, grabbed Ye Yu’s sleeve, eyes full of doubt.
Just moments ago,
Ye Yu had told her he was an immortal, so how did he suddenly unleash such a powerful ghost aura?
What was true and what was false?
Ye Yu ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) sensed Ying Naiyan’s thoughts and whispered everything to her with mind sound transmission.
He explained why he hadn’t told Dongkui the truth earlier.
Because the matter of an immortal coming to the Underworld was too sensitive.
In the Demon Realm, Ye Yu had already seen human hearts filled with malice.
If his strength weren’t decent, he would have been caught by those Demon Sovereigns and treated like a lab rat.
So naturally, Ye Yu had to be cautious.
Even if Dongkui was Ying Naiyan’s master, he didn’t intend to reveal this.
After hearing this explanation,
Ying Naiyan thoughtfully nodded.
Ye Yu’s concerns made sense — some things were better left unsaid.
But to prevent her husband from disliking Dongkui,
Ying Naiyan explained on her behalf.
She said Dongkui had helped her a lot in the dream, which was why she still followed her after waking.
Her character was indeed good, just a bit scattered.
But definitely no ill intentions.
Ye Yu smiled lightly and said nothing more.
He didn’t like to challenge people’s limits when unfamiliar.
After Ying Naiyan finished, her tone suddenly shifted as she asked with curiosity,
“By the way, in the parallel world you mentioned, why did you suddenly disappear? Were you really killed by those fifty or so Ghost Sect masters?
That shouldn’t be possible, right? I tested them in reality, and with their strength, they shouldn’t be able to harm you!”
At this question, Ye Yu instinctively glanced westward.
He still hadn’t forgotten the golden eye in that giant egg! (See Chapter 596 for details!)
