Chapter 118: Yu Yuanzhen's Compensation!
"I will make you fall in love with me."
Qian Renxue's breath gently brushed past Ye Xuanming's ear.
She turned her head and saw a pair of golden phoenix eyes that were smiling and determined.
After shedding her disguise, this woman revealed her inherent pride and domineering nature.
Ye Xuanming did not respond to her "declaration".
He simply took the blue triangle from her hand.
As soon as he held the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, a cool sensation flowed through his palm, as if he were holding a piece of ancient ice, instantly clearing his mind.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Xuanming stored the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in his storage soul tool and thanked him politely.
"Now, you still call me Your Highness?"
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with his unromantic reaction.
"Miss Qian Renxue?"
Ye Xuanming readily changed his tune.
"Call me Sister Xue'er."
A thousand-foot snow-covered wall straightens the righteous path.
"..."
Ye Xuanming fell silent.
He felt that his relationship with Qian Renxue was developing in a direction he couldn't have predicted.
Seeing Ye Xuanming's somewhat troubled expression, Qian Renxue finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A crisp laugh echoed in the study, dispelling the slightly ambiguous and tense atmosphere from before.
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."
Qian Renxue waved her hand, regaining some of her aloof demeanor.
"You've got the stuff. Don't forget what I told you to do."
"I'll handle things with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan for you."
As for the Spirit Hall, I will also write to them to explain the situation and ask them to stop bothering you for the time being.
Qian Renxue's tone regained the competence and decisiveness of someone in a position of power.
"But remember, we are allies, and I need to see your value."
"Of course." Ye Xuanming nodded.
He understood that today's honesty was nothing more than a result of mutual exploitation.
To solidify this alliance, he must demonstrate a value that Qian Renxue cannot ignore.
"What are your plans for the future?" Qian Renxue asked.
"The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies should be starting soon. Let's show our strength first!"
Ye Xuanming said.
"Not bad." Qian Renxue nodded.
"There are less than six months left. With your strength, winning the championship will be a piece of cake. This is also the best stage to show everyone your value."
"I see."
The two talked for a while longer, discussing some details about future cooperation.
Qian Renxue was the one doing the talking, and Ye Xuanming was the one listening.
She painted a grand blueprint for Ye Xuanming: a powerful empire that would one day dominate the mainland.
Ye Xuanming remained calm throughout.
He knew that Qian Renxue's ambitions went far beyond just the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue's ultimate goal is to inherit the divine position and stand at the top of this world.
And isn't he himself no different?
When Ye Xuanming walked out of the East Palace, it was already completely dark outside.
The palace guards, driving carriages, waited respectfully outside the palace gates.
"Young Master Ye, please get in the car."
Ye Xuanming boarded the carriage, which slowly started moving and headed towards the Ye family manor.
Inside the carriage, Ye Xuanming closed his eyes, but his mind was rapidly processing everything that had happened that day.
The formal alliance with Qian Renxue is more beneficial than harmful.
He needs Qian Renxue's influence in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall to buy time and space for his growth.
Qian Renxue also needs this "prophet" to fill the gaps in her plan and deal with her unfathomable mother.
This is a high-stakes gamble.
What Ye Xuanming obtained was the Heart of the Sea God!
...
The main hall of the Ye residence was brightly lit.
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were sitting side by side on the sofa, seemingly chatting quietly, but their attention was clearly focused on the doorway.
Hearing footsteps, three pairs of beautiful eyes turned to look at them.
"Brother Xuanming!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to jump up from the sofa, like a light swallow, and flew into Ye Xuanming's arms.
Ye Xuanming took the opportunity to hug her and gently kissed her smooth forehead.
Immediately afterwards, Dugu Yan also came over.
She wasn't as outgoing as Ning Rongrong, but she still moved closer to her.
Ye Xuanming released Ning Rongrong, reached out and pulled Dugu Yan into his arms, kissing her on the cheek as well.
A blush instantly rose to Dugu Yan's cheeks.
Lastly, it's Ye Lingling.
She stood there quietly, with her usual aloofness, but the slight pursing of her lips betrayed her inner anticipation.
Ye Xuanming walked up to her and gently hugged her.
He whispered in her ear, "I'm back."
Ye Lingling relaxed and softly hummed in agreement.
After a tender moment, Ning Rongrong tugged at Ye Xuanming's sleeve and asked curiously:
"Brother Xuanming, what does His Highness the Crown Prince want to see you about? He's being so mysterious."
Dugu Yan also cast an inquiring glance at her.
"It's nothing serious." Ye Xuanming took their hands and sat down on the sofa. "I guess we... reached some cooperation."
He didn't reveal Qian Renxue's true identity, only mentioning it briefly.
Ning Rongrong said "Oh," and although she was still very curious, she sensibly refrained from asking any further questions when she saw that Ye Xuanming was unwilling to say more.
She was just a little smug, thinking that even the Crown Prince had to cooperate with Brother Xuanming, so her man was really amazing.
Just then, a gentle voice came from the restaurant.
"Xuanming, the food is all prepared. You're so busy all day long, what's the rush?"
She is Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Xingyue.
She came out carrying a steaming plate of food, a gentle smile on her face.
"Aunt Ye." Ye Xuanming stood up with a smile.
"Come and eat, you guys must be getting impatient."
Ye Xingyue greeted the girls.
The table was laden with delicious-smelling dishes.
Ye Xuanming sat in the main seat, with the three girls sitting on either side. Ye Xingyue sat opposite Ye Xuanming, constantly serving him food with the loving expression of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
After dinner, the group was sitting in the living room digesting their food when the manor's butler came to announce that Dugu Bo had arrived.
A moment later, Dugu Bo's tall and thin figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The old poisoner seemed to be in a good mood today, even with a slight smile on his face.
"Senior Dugu." Ye Xuanming stood up to greet him.
"Grandpa." Dugu Yan also stood up.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, walked straight to the sofa and sat down, his gaze sweeping over Ye Xuanming.
"Kid, it's all taken care of."
Dugu Bo spoke up,
"That old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, although he denied it to the death, insisted that Yu Luomian acted on his own and had nothing to do with him."
Ning Rongrong pouted to the side:
"Shameless."
