Yan Jiu

One of them was in his 20s. He had a handsome face with long eyelashes and bright star-like eyes.

His attire was also exquisite. The long silk-like hair was combed nicely. He was as elegant as a prince with a high-quality jade belt around his waist and a fan in his hand.

Past
The place where Yan Jiu and Wu Chong met each other for the first time was exactly the City of Mercenaries under their feet.

No one would imagine that the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong who could do anything on the continent had been a mercenary soldier at the very beginning.

At that time, Wu Chong was not called the Ghost Emperor and he did not wear the golden mask covering his appearance.

When Wu Chong was registering at the Alliance of Mercenaries, he met Yan Jiu who had just left home and prepared to do something.

At first sight, Yan Jiu marveled at the appearance of Wu Chong at a young age. The former had even mistaken the latter for a gorgeous female soldier. Yan Jiu could not resist the charm of Wu Chong and followed him all the time praising his good look. Yan Jiu was so brazenfaced that he even tried his best to form a team with Wu Chong.

Wu Chong had no option but to form a team with Yan Jiu who was always pestering him.

Later, when Yan Jiu knew Wu Chong was a man, he was disappointed for a long while. Considering that they two had cooperated for long and established fairly good friendship, he made do by accomplishing tasks together with Wu Chong all along.

In one task, Yan Jiu was ambushed due to false information. At that time, Wu Chong suddenly appeared and risked his life to save Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu survived but Wu Chong was also seriously injured. Due to the injury, Wu Chong suffered a relapse of typhoid fever and changed back into Feng Shen. This revealed his secret to Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu was grateful to Wu Chong and followed him ever since. It was when Wu Chong’s excellent martial skills, Feng Shen’s talent in operation and Yan Jiu’s tactful strategies were combined that the Underground Palace was able to develop into the most powerful evil force on the whole continent in just several years. For this, Yan Jiu had even severed his ties with his family.
