Seeing this, Ye Gucheng was so scared that his mind went blank. He stood there trembling, not knowing what to do.
And wasn't that yellow weasel afraid of Master Huang just now? How did it suddenly become so powerful?
"Heh heh heh—"
"You old man, now you know how powerful Grandpa is!"
Ye Baichi, controlled by the yellow weasel, let out sinister laughter. He glanced at Master Huang, completely disregarding him.
"You beast, so what if you've ascended to immortality? A beast is still a beast… Take this Five Thunder Talisman!"
Master Huang suddenly attacked, wanting to catch Ye Baichi off guard. He flicked a talisman, and thunder roared.
Instantly, thunder boomed throughout the room. Everyone cowered, afraid of being struck by lightning.
Old Master Ye even hid under the table. As the richest man in Jiangcheng, his status was incredibly noble.
Alas, in the face of these sorcerous demons, his status was of no use whatsoever.
Lightning flashed around Ye Baichi. He sneered, "Old man, it seems you're still not giving up. Then let's see how you like this move of Grandpa's…"
Saying that, Ye Baichi suddenly threw his head back and opened his mouth as wide as it could go.
Then, the streaks of lightning were sucked into his mouth, swallowed whole.
The thunder abruptly stopped. Ye Baichi burped, licked his lips, and squinted at Master Huang, looking as if he hadn't had enough.
Being stared at by Ye Baichi, Master Huang couldn't help but shiver. The next second, he knelt down with a thud. "Grandfather Huang Xian, spare me! This humble Taoist knows his mistake. I beg Grandfather Huang Xian to spare this humble Taoist's life…"
"Master Huang, what are you doing?"
Ye Gucheng was extremely anxious. Of course, he could see that Master Huang was begging for his life.
But he couldn't accept it. If even Master Huang started begging for mercy, who else could deal with this yellow weasel?
Master Huang said, "Young Master Ye, can't you see? This Grandfather Huang Xian has boundless divine power. I am no match for him!"
He, who had always exuded an air of mastery, now looked as pathetic as a third-rate lackey.
"I can see that, but Master Huang, if you beg for mercy, what will happen to us?"
Ye Gucheng looked helpless, his eyes filled with terror and dread.
"Young Master Ye, please calm yourself. Let me communicate with Grandfather Huang Xian. Since Grandfather Huang Xian has become an immortal, I believe he will not harm Old Master Ye without reason… Is that right, Grandfather Huang Xian…"
Master Huang asked obsequiously.
At this moment, Ye Baichi had already taken a seat in the grand armchair, looking smug, as if Ye Gucheng's words were very pleasing to him.
"That's natural… No, you scoundrel, how dare you speak to Grandfather Huang Xian like that? How have I harmed anyone? I just want to get closer to the Ye family's young man!"
Although everyone knew Ye Baichi was possessed, these words, spoken from his mouth, sounded utterly rebellious.
Moreover, Old Master Ye was eighty-four years old this year, and to be referred to as the Ye family's young man was truly…
However, Master Huang discerned a hint from these words.
"Get closer? Grandfather Huang Xian, do you have some connection with this Old Master Ye?"
Ye Baichi curled his fingers delicately and giggled.
"That's natural. Ye family's young man, why don't you come out quickly and see Grandpa?"
Old Master Ye crawled out from under the table, completely bewildered. However, he absolutely couldn't bring himself to call 'Ye Baichi' Grandpa.
But Ye Baichi didn't make things difficult for him. He asked in a sharp voice, "Ye family's young man, do you recognize me?"
Old Master Ye shook his head. How could he possibly recognize him?
Ye Baichi said slowly, "It's normal if you don't. After all, my connection with your Ye family began with your grandfather's generation…"
Old Master Ye couldn't hold back any longer. Enduring his fear, he asked, "Esteemed Fox Immortal, since you knew my grandfather, then Baichi is your grandson's generation. Could you please come down first and stop tormenting him…"
"Ye family's young man, how dare you speak to Grandpa like that? So rude!"
Ye Baichi glared, making Old Master Ye tremble all over.
Master Huang quickly said, "Grandfather Huang Xian, they are ordinary people and don't understand. If you have anything to say, please tell me…"
"Hmph, foolish humans!"
Ye Baichi looked indignant.
"Yes, yes, Grandfather Huang Xian, please don't hold it against them. If you have anything to say, tell me."
Master Huang said obsequiously, "Grandfather Huang Xian, what brings you here this time?"
"Me…"
Ye Baichi spoke slowly, his expression becoming languid. "Today, Grandpa has achieved his cultivation and finally joined the immortal ranks. So, I thought I'd look after an old friend's descendants and bestow upon your Ye family immense wealth!"
Master Huang excitedly said to Old Master Ye, "Old Master Ye, this is good news!"
Old Master Ye's expression was uncertain. He wasn't entirely convinced.
After all, this yellow weasel had first made him overeat, and now it had taken control of his son's body. It didn't seem like it was here to bestow immense wealth upon the Ye family.
Besides, the Ye family already possessed immense wealth. Did they need it to bestow more?
Old Master Ye remained unmoved, but Ye Gucheng was full of excitement. "There's such a good thing?"
"Naturally. You, my little grandson, speak quite well."
Ye Baichi glanced at Ye Gucheng. "As long as your Ye family worships me properly from now on, I can ensure your Ye family's eternal prosperity!"
Eternal prosperity! How many years would that be? In Ye Gucheng's eyes, a look of madness appeared.
Hundreds of thousands of years, far longer than human history.
If what this yellow weasel said was true, then the Ye family would be incredibly powerful! They could be considered the top elite family among all humanity!
Being the richest man in Jiangcheng was nothing. Being the richest man in the world was truly impressive!
However, Old Master Ye didn't believe it at all and wasn't blinded by this grand promise. He cautiously asked, "Esteemed Fox Immortal, what kind of worship are you referring to?"
Ye Baichi pondered for a moment and said slowly, "To show my sincerity, take half of your Ye family's assets!"
"What?"
Old Master Ye was immediately shocked.
This yellow weasel had a huge appetite. Half of the Ye family's assets amounted to hundreds of billions!
"What, you're reluctant to part with it?"
Ye Baichi squinted at Old Master Ye and asked slowly.
"Grandpa, what are you still thinking about? Quickly agree to Grandfather Huang Xian. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With Grandfather Huang Xian's protection, our Ye family will be able to leave Jiangcheng and march towards the world in no time!"
Ye Gucheng's expression grew increasingly manic. He was already indulging in wild fantasies.
Old Master Ye was extremely anxious. With his cunning and experience, he had already realized that this yellow weasel was not a good entity. However, he dared not refuse, lest he offend this demon and face unimaginable consequences.
Just then, a round of applause suddenly echoed.
"Well, well, well, what excellent acting! I think the Nobel Prize owes you an award for best performance!"
