Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

A Memorist who appeared quite experienced stepped forward with a forced calm, bowed respectfully to Xuan Ge, his tone carrying a hint of pleading, attempting to persuade:

"General Shen Wei, this is an internal matter of the Memory Ting Yuan, and has nothing to do with the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

Last time, that Great Dahlia, we already gave her to the General as a gift, but this person....

Really won't do. Please, General, show mercy and hand her over to us for disposal."

"Oh~ You're the ones who chased down the Great Dahlia last time?"

Xuan Ge tilted his head slightly, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the speaking Memorist, his tone flat yet carrying an undeniable pressure, as if he had long since seen through the other's identity.

"Yes, General." The Memorist still maintained the bowed posture, head buried extremely low, not even daring to lift an eyelid.

Facing General Shen Wei's gaze, she only felt her whole body turn cold, a fear penetrating even to her bone marrow.

"Then do you want to die?" Xuan Ge's tone remained flat, without the slightest ripple.

Yet just these five simple words made every Memorist present shudder, a shadow of death instantly enveloping them.

"Don't want to." That Memorist answered with almost zero delay, without the slightest hesitation.

Before General Shen Wei, even an extra second of consideration was disrespect to life; she simply dared not have any hesitation.

Xuan Ge nodded slightly, his face expressionless, then slowly spat out a single word: "3."

The Memorists present froze in place for a moment, not reacting to what Xuan Ge meant.

But the Memorists who had participated in chasing down the Great Dahlia last time instantly turned deathly pale, reacted extremely fast, turned and ran, not daring to say a single superfluous word.

Xuan Ge looked at the still dumbfounded Memorists, his tone unchanged, continuing to slowly spit out a second word: "2."

This time, the remaining Memorists finally reacted.

General Shen Wei is counting down; once he reaches "1", General Shen Wei will kill everyone present!

The crowd no longer cared about any Memory Ting Yuan mission, scattering and fleeing in all directions, every man for himself in the face of disaster.

"The Memorists' fleeing skill is quite neat."

Xuan Ge watched the Memorists vanish without a trace in less than a second, muttering a low complaint.

His hands clasped behind his back, he discreetly pulled up the black long trousers that had slipped down a bit.

Just now the movement was a bit too large, his pants nearly fell down; fortunately no one saw clearly.

Chang Ye at the side stared blankly at the General Shen Wei before her, his discreet trouser-pulling motion fully caught in her eyes; the corner of her mouth unconsciously curved up slightly, her heart feeling a bit like laughing.

This General Shen Wei who looks down on the world actually has such a down-to-earth side.

But she also knew clearly, right now she absolutely must not laugh!

Once she laughed.... she didn't know what would happen to her.

Xuan Ge also noticed Chang Ye's gaze, instantly becoming a bit awkward, hurriedly turning around to face this pink-haired, red-pupiled girl directly.

Just now he only cared about driving away the Memorists, but forgot that Chang Ye was still standing behind him; this was the first time an outsider had seen him in such a disheveled state.

"What are you called?" Xuan Ge collected his awkward expression, his tone returning to its usual flatness, his gaze falling on Chang Ye, scrutinizing her carefully.

He had long seen through that the one controlling this body right now seemed to be a fragment of personality, while her true main personality was still asleep.

Chang Ye felt her whole body tighten under Xuan Ge's gaze, blanked for a moment, then immediately reacted, speaking respectfully:

"General, I am called Chang Ye."

She dared not have the slightest concealment, and also knew that before General Shen Wei, any disguise was futile.

"Since you've come to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou for refuge, you must pay the corresponding price."

Xuan Ge looked at Chang Ye, his tone without the slightest ripple, stating bluntly: "I won't take you in for nothing."

"Wonder what the General wants me to do?"

Chang Ye raised her head, looking straight into Xuan Ge's eyes, her tone firm.

As long as it let her take refuge safely, escape the Memory Ting Yuan's pursuit, whatever the cost, she was willing to bear it.

"Haven't thought of it yet." Xuan Ge spoke indifferently, his tone casual.

"Follow me back to the General's Mansion first; when I've thought of it, I'll naturally tell you."

Finished speaking, he raised a hand and waved; a powerful force instantly enveloped himself and Chang Ye.

The next second, the two of them vanished into the Void out of thin air, instantly appearing in the courtyard of the General's Mansion.

Chang Ye's whole body tensed, her heart full of shock.

That force just now was too overbearing, carrying an irresistible pulling sensation, teleporting her to the General's Mansion in an instant.

She didn't even have a shred of strength to resist, couldn't even mobilize the Virtual Number energy inside her body.

General Shen Wei's strength was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

"Master!"

A lively voice suddenly rang out; Fei Xiao, who was chatting with Ling Sha, sensed Xuan Ge's aura and her eyes instantly lit up.

Fei Xiao rose wanting to pounce into Xuan Ge's arms, but just after running two steps, she saw Chang Ye beside Xuan Ge.

The smile on her face instantly froze, her expression instantly turning gloomy, a trace of hard-to-detect hostility flashing in her eyes.

Ling Sha also slowly stood up, her gaze silently falling on Chang Ye, her eyes carrying a few parts wariness and scrutiny.

She could clearly sense that this pink-haired, red-pupiled woman contained extremely strong power; she was by no means simple.

The anger in her heart instantly surged up; no matter who this woman was, if she dared to lay a finger on Xuan Ge, she wouldn't mind joining forces with Yao Guang, Jing Liu, and the others to completely drive this woman out of the General's Mansion.

Xuan Ge also didn't expect Fei Xiao and Ling Sha to be here, blanking slightly, then explaining bluntly:

"Her name is Chang Ye Yue. She came to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou to work, and is temporarily staying at the General's Mansion."

He deliberately used the two words "work" to avoid "seeking refuge," precisely because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, nor did he want Fei Xiao and Ling Sha to become overly vigilant.

"Work~?"

Fei Xiao walked to Xuan Ge's side, reached out her hand, and tightly pulled Xuan Ge's arm, wearing a protective expression, her gaze still vigilantly fixed on Chang Ye Yue, as if declaring her sovereignty.

Xuan Ge did not answer Fei Xiao, but instead instructed the personal guards not far away:

"Someone come, escort Ms. Chang Ye Yue to the courtyard on the east side of the General's Mansion and settle her properly."

He paused for a moment, deliberately avoiding the courtyard on the west side.

Da Li Hua lives on the west side; her temperament is somewhat... that... she often challenges her own limits.

And Chang Ye Yue's power is much stronger than Da Li Hua's; he was afraid Da Li Hua would actively provoke her and instead get cleaned up by Chang Ye Yue.

Fei Xiao lives on the north side, Da Li Hua lives on the west side, the east side courtyard has been empty; placing Chang Ye Yue there is undoubtedly the optimal solution, able to both avoid conflict and facilitate supervision.

"Yes! General!" A personal guard immediately stepped forward, respectfully accepted the order, then turned to Chang Ye Yue, made a welcoming hand gesture, and said gently.

"Ms. Chang Ye Yue, please follow me."

Chang Ye Yue did not refuse, merely nodded slightly, and silently followed behind the personal guard, walking toward the east side courtyard.

Her whole body was currently exhausted, her wounds still faintly aching; she indeed needed to find a place to rest properly.

She also needed time to sort out her thoughts, to deal with this mysterious and powerful Divine Might General.

Watching Chang Ye Yue's figure gradually disappear into the depths of the courtyard, the gloom on Fei Xiao's face only then gradually faded.

She once again revealed an innocent and cute smile, shaking Xuan Ge's arm, acting spoiled in a charming way:

"Master, Master~~ Will you accompany Xiao to train today?"

Xuan Ge reached out his hand, lightly rubbed Fei Xiao's fox ears, his tone softening a few degrees: "Alright, I'll accompany you to train."

On the other side, Chang Ye Yue followed the personal guard to the east side courtyard; after entering the room, she had no extra thought to observe the room's layout and style.

She walked straight into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and began to wash up.

Warm water slowly sprinkled onto her smooth and delicate body, washing away the bloodstains and dust on her, bringing a burst of comfortable warmth, relieving her body's fatigue and pain.

Chang Ye Yue leaned against the bathroom wall, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself:

"The Divine Might General is too dangerous, his strength unfathomable; it's still best for me to handle him."

At this moment, she had no intention whatsoever of letting the main personality awaken.

She truly felt Xuan Ge was too dangerous; that crushing power left her with not even a chance to resist.
