Chapter 4845

Chen Xuan lowered his eyelids at Concubine Si’s "compliments," offering no response. While Concubine Si spoke with lavish praise for Chen Xuan, she did not truly regard either him or Gong Zijia—who also possessed the aura of a third-level Dark Soul Master—as worthy of her attention. Concubine Si herself was a third-level Dark Soul Master of great accomplishment, but her true strength far surpassed that of an average master at her level. As the beloved consort of the Ghost King Huang Ran, she possessed a collection of top-tier soul artifacts and an array of supreme pills exclusive to soul cultivators, which together allowed her to rival even the peak of the third-level Dark Soul Masters. Setting aside her greatest backer, the Ghost King, she was always accompanied by a retinue of elite guards wherever she went. In almost any situation, she remained in an invincible position. Therefore, her generous invitation for Chen Xuan and his four companions to board the ship and her willingness to escort them to the entrance of the Northern Underworld Mystery were not born of genuine admiration for Chen Xuan or affection for the four stunning beauties; it was merely the condescending attitude of one who occupies a higher station. As she had said herself, it was nothing more than a small act of charity.
