This speaker is none other than the mysterious woman!

Upon hearing the words, not just Yue Xueling, even Qin Qi was stunned.

What?

Master?

Qin Qi was astounded, "What the heck?"

He had considered the mysterious woman’s origins extraordinary, but never expected this powerful Nascent Soul stage entity to refer to herself as a servant before her.

At the peak of her power, just how formidable must this mysterious woman have been.

Meanwhile, Yue Xueling fully extends her Divine Sense, capturing every aura emanating from the mysterious woman.

Then, she trembles and says: "You, are you truly the Celestial Joyful Witch?"

The mysterious woman sneers and says, "Otherwise, who do you think I am? What? Only a few years have passed, Yue Xueling, and you’ve already forgotten my voice and aura?"

Yue Xueling bites her silver teeth and is so frightened that she immediately kneels on one knee towards Qin Qi.

Then, respectfully she says: "How dare a servant, once I recognized the master as my lord, I am forever a servant of the master!"

"It’s just that, I truly couldn’t believe that I would have the opportunity to see the master again. Back then, I heard only that the master was besieged by many powerful entities, and ultimately went missing with their life or death unknown!"

"In my heart, the master was always deeply worried and missed!"

The Celestial Joyful Witch slowly says, "Oh? I really appreciate your heartfelt concern for me, though you did indeed do well."

"Back then, I entrusted the Ghost King Sect to you because I saw your unwavering loyalty to me. Now, it seems you’ve performed quite well!"

"Your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and in the future, you might be of use to me!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xueling is overwhelmed with joy, "Master, are you speaking true?"

"Naturally!" the Celestial Joyful Witch replies calmly.

Yue Xueling takes a deep breath, "Thank you for your praise, master. You’ve been gone for so long, I wonder if there is a plan you have?"

"Those cultivators who claim to be righteous, I have long found them displeasing. Only you weren’t around, relying on my strength alone, I truly dare not show myself to contend with them!"

"All your former followers are now lurking in various places, awaiting your return!"

The Celestial Joyful Witch says chillingly: "Rest assured, these matters, I am naturally aware of, there’s no need for you to worry!"

Yue Xueling nods heavily, "Should I inform the others of your return?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch chuckles: "Oh? How many of my former followers can you still reach?"

Yue Xueling bites her lip, replies earnestly: "I can still reach three, one is in the Blood Demon Sect, and two are in the Purgatory Gate!"

The Celestial Joyful Witch lazily says: "Oh. You mean Xuan Yin and Ji Luo, right? I know, no need to rush notifying them!"

"I have my own plan. For now, can you see this young boy beneath me?"

Yue Xueling looks at Qin Qi, already filled with curiosity, she immediately bows and says: "I do not know his relationship with you, master!"

The Celestial Joyful Witch calmly says: "He is my chosen heir, and the future third Celestial Joy Demon Lord."

"In the future, he will be your new master. I hope you understand?"

Yue Xueling’s pupils shrink, alarmed, she looks toward Qin Qi.

She truly has no idea what makes this young boy in the Foundation Establishment Stage so extraordinary.

Yet, he is chosen to inherit the Celestial Joyful Witch’s legacy, even to become the third Celestial Joy Demon Lord?

But the mysterious woman’s words, she dare not defy, immediately bowing respectfully, "Subordinate, greets Young Master!"

Then, promptly retrieves her Spiritual Treasure, releasing Qin Qi.

Qin Qi now feels quite overwhelmed.

For a Nascent Soul stage expert to show such respect to him?

Seeing this, the Celestial Joyful Witch was very satisfied, "Very well, you may leave now. I know the Soul Devouring Bear was your doing, deliberately captured for a purpose!"

"Later, I will find a way to contact you. Meanwhile, do not mention my affairs to anyone. Currently, I have other important matters!"

Yue Xueling dare not defy, quickly stands up, "I follow all your orders, master!"

Then, she leaps, soaring skyward, vanishing without a trace.

After Yue Xueling leaves.

The Celestial Joyful Witch then again embeds the Soul Body into Qin Qi.

Qin Qi can’t help but smile, "So you knew from the start that I’d be targeted by Yue Xueling, but you didn’t warn me because you knew Yue Xueling was your former subordinate!"

Yet, the Celestial Joyful Witch did not respond, instead saying: "Hurry and leave!"

Qin Qi looked puzzled, "Leave where?"

"Aren’t you afraid Yue Xueling might come back?" The Celestial Joyful Witch sneers.

Though Qin Qi hastens his pace, his mind remains puzzled, questioning: "Isn’t Yue Xueling completely obedient to you, your past subordinate?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch snorts coldly, "In this world, nothing is more trustworthy than the power in your hand. Back then, I could take her as a servant because my strength fully overwhelmed her!"

"She had no choice but to obey me and submit. Now, it has been over ten years, and I was destroyed, my physical body ruined, forced to relocate!"

"I am left with only a Soul Body now. What do you think I have to ensure she continues to submit?"

Qin Qi, upon hearing this, feels the logic of the words immediately, yet dare not delay, quickly hurried his steps.

The Celestial Joyful Witch continues: "Even if there’s a ninety-nine percent chance she submits to me, just one percent is too risky for us!"

"This woman is now a powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Who can guarantee she maintains the same reverence toward me as back then?"

"Just now, when I appeared suddenly, she was taken by surprise. But if she later realizes in mid-air and comes back to you, her intentions might be quite different."

Qin Qi now comprehends the gravity of the situation, frowning: "If that’s the case, your appearance risks exposure too. If she spreads word of you, the consequences would be dire!"

One must know, back then, this mysterious woman faced endless sieges by powerful entities.

Should news spread that she’s still alive, it’d spell major trouble for us.
