Chapter 253: Brother-in-law, I, your sister-in-law, can let you

Ye Bai was just about to call it a day when another accident occurred!

"Swish!" Yet, Zhu Peng, who had been rapidly finishing off the prodigies on Chu Ye's side just a second ago, suddenly had a change in expression and appeared before the "unconscious" Chu Ye.

With just one glance, her complexion turned ugly!

"Brother-in-law, I am truly sorry, I discovered it a bit too late.

Chu Ye has already escaped."

Then, she came before Ye Bai and said apologetically.

"Escaped? How is that possible?"

Ye Bai was stunned, not even noticing that Zhu Peng's form of address was strange.

"Was it a Substitute Puppet?" He then thought of something.

"That's right!" Zhu Peng confirmed.

"Truly, what a waste..."

Ye Bai sighed.

He was not just saying that Chu Ye was willing to part with it, but also referring to the higher-ups of the God Creation Society.

A Substitute Puppet was a life-saving item that Ye Bai had encountered back in Jiangcheng, one that Ning Feng had used.

After being actively activated, it could form a double of the user and teleport the user to a safe location far from the battlefield.

But after that, Ye Bai had rarely encountered anyone who possessed such a puppet.

It wasn't because people didn't understand the principle that a Substitute Puppet could save one's life at a critical moment.

It was because Substitute Puppets were actually only suitable for Low-grade Martial Artists!

They already had an extremely high manufacturing difficulty and required materials that could be called astronomical in price!

The generated puppet needed to perfectly imitate the user and also transport the user away from the battlefield; it was fine for Low-grade Martial Artists to use, as after all, the strength of Low-grade Martial Artists was not high, and one only needed to send the person a hundred meters away to ensure their safety.

After the Fifth Grade, a Martial Artist's Qi and Blood are like a long rainbow, one step can span hundreds of meters, and their eyesight is so strong they can see a thousand meters at a glance, which means the manufacturing difficulty and the materials required for a Substitute Puppet grow exponentially!

Chu Ye's realm reached as high as Seven-Rank Mid-Stage, and the strength of his physical body was peerless among his generation; Ye Bai even suspected that the Merit Points required for a Substitute Puppet that could be used by him would be no less than a million.

Therefore, he was certain that it was given to Chu Ye by the God Creation Society, and then Chu Ye, in order to obtain the Hidden Realm Opportunity, used the puppet to escape without hesitation!

"This is getting troublesome..."

And the occurrence of this accident also meant that Ye Bai could not stay outside the jungle, quietly waiting for Wu Zhangsheng to come for the astronomical ransom.

He had to go deep into the Yiji!

He had to capture Chu Ye and bring him back before he obtained the Hidden Realm Opportunity!

Although he could also hand Chu Ye over to Zhu Peng to deal with.

Chu Ye was almost able to defeat Zhu Peng because he had kept a second talent as a trump card; as long as Zhu Peng was on guard, she would still have a chance to win, and she could even take the Beijing Martial Arts University prodigy squad to deal with Chu Ye together.

He believed that as long as he mentioned it, Zhu Peng would not refuse.

However, in a situation where Chu Ye was single-mindedly searching for opportunities and not clashing head-on with Zhu Peng's group, the time required could not be estimated!

If Chu Ye really happened to obtain the Hidden Realm Opportunity on the way and forged the prototype of an Immortal Golden Body, Ye Bai's plan to make a massive profit of Merit Points in one go would be even more affected!

However, it was once again beyond Ye Bai's expectations.

"Brother-in-law, feel free to go chase Chu Ye!

I will arrange for people to help you keep an eye on Qiu Honghe and all of them!"

Ye Bai had just wanted to discuss with Zhu Peng about leaving the task of guarding the hostages to her.

The latter had actually spoken up directly!

"Senior Sister Zhu Peng, you already knew that I came to the Yiji not for the opportunities here?"

Ye Bai's expression turned strange in an instant.

The kind that glanced meaningfully at Wu Zhangsheng behind him!

"I thought the Conservative Faction really had no backup plans.

It turns out their backup plan was actually me??"

Zhu Peng nodded and said: "My sister has already told me.

Although it was a bit surprising, thinking about it, you are after all the Sole Emperor-Tier prodigy, so it is very reasonable that you would look down on the opportunities within the Yiji."

"Oh, and also, you don't need to call me Senior Sister anymore; haven't you noticed that I've been calling you brother-in-law? I have seen the sacrifices you made for little Huang, and I have completely accepted you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai was shocked to realize that Zhu Peng's form of address for him was not quite right.

His face was full of question marks.

"Brother-in-law? Completely accepted me?

What is this all about?"

Zhu Peng raised an eyebrow and said, "You are quite shy, but that's good; it means you are an honest person. Although you already have a girlfriend, you likely won't be the type to discard the old for the new, and I, as your sister-in-law, accept you as my brother-in-law even more."

"But you really don't need to pretend in front of me; little Huang has already told me the whole truth.

You followed her to the Yiji secretly with the goal of protecting her in the shadows, and because of your identity as the Sole Emperor-Tier prodigy, you didn't want to be exposed, but you descended like a god because little Huang encountered danger!"

"I, as your sister-in-law, know exactly that for little Huang's sake, you will definitely choose to go hunt down Chu Ye yourself; even if I wanted to deal with Chu Ye, you wouldn't agree, which is why I'm letting you set off immediately."

Then, without waiting for the wide-eyed Ye Bai to react, she slapped her forehead hard.

"I get it, brother-in-law, you are playing dumb because I forgot the most important thing!

Brother-in-law, wait a moment."

Her figure disappeared.

When she appeared again, Zhu Huang had already been pulled over by her!

"Brother-in-law, I am now entrusting little Huang to you; I leave her Yiji trip this time to you!"

"Oh right, once you catch Chu Ye, you can send him directly back."

"You don't need to worry about the guarding; I'll arrange a Heaven-pride squad to watch over this place in a moment, and once they've obtained some opportunities, I'll have another Heaven-pride squad come to take over the shift."

While pushing Zhu Huang toward Ye Bai.

With that kind of auntie-smile all over her face!

"You, you can wander around the Yiji more with little Huang...

Especially after little Huang obtains an opportunity, you two can walk around places like the small woods or tree hollows more."

She truly approved of Ye Bai.

Ever since she was initially curious about why Ye Bai appeared, and after asking her younger sister and getting an answer!

Ye Bai...

He looked at the auntie-smiling Zhu Peng.

Then he looked at the face-flushed.

Yet looking at Ye Bai with a very calm gaze, as if saying, 'Come on, I can accept any shape,' Zhu Huang.

His whole person was in a mess!

He had thought he guessed the truth.

He didn't expect it to be a huge misunderstanding!

"Um, Senior Sister Zhu Peng, it's a misunderstanding..."

Of course, he couldn't let this misunderstanding continue.

He had only just managed to persuade Zhu Huang last time.

He stated the goal of his trip.

After listening, Zhu Peng's brows furrowed sharply.

Ye Bai was also prepared for Zhu Peng to be unhappy because of this.

"Brother-in-law, your personality is too shy.

I guess the reason you have a girlfriend now is also because that girl took the initiative to confess to you, right?"

Zhu Peng said again, but these two sentences stunned Ye Bai once more.

"Forget it, still the same thing, being a bit shy is quite good.

Little Huang, remember to be more proactive, don't miss out; I, your sister, am going to get busy now."

Then, without even waiting for Ye Bai to explain further, she left directly...

"Ye Bai, don't worry, I can take the initiative to pursue you!"

"It's enough for me to know that you like me!"

Zhu Huang also didn't give Ye Bai a chance to keep her; with a hop, she arrived right beside Ye Bai and hooked her arm into his.

"Wait until you catch Chu Ye back!

We'll go to the small woods, and I'll show you something amazing!"
