What's this on the bedsheet?

Xiao Chen looked at her, his heart stirred.

This Yao Ye was quite sensible.

Knowing she could not resist, she simply chose not to.

She even took the opportunity to set a condition, hoping the Snake-People Tribe would not make things difficult for the royal family.

Xiao Chen thought to himself that this big sister was truly beautiful and kind-hearted.

She was completely different from that unruly little princess, Yao Yue.

"Rest assured."

Xiao Chen said, "I will not make things difficult for the royal family."

Yao Ye looked at him, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

She had not expected Xiao Chen to agree so readily.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Yao Ye asked.

"I am."

Xiao Chen nodded, "As long as you marry me with peace of mind, the Snake-People Tribe will not move against the royal family."

Yao Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Fine."

Yao Ye said, "I agree."

Xiao Chen stepped forward and reached out to wrap his arm around her waist.

Yao Ye's body trembled slightly, but she did not resist.

She closed her eyes, letting Xiao Chen hold her.

Xiao Chen lowered his head and kissed her.

Yao Ye's face turned red instantly.

In all the years she had lived, she had never been this intimate with a man.

Xiao Chen's hands wandered over her body, and Yao Ye's breathing grew increasingly rapid.

Her face flushed deeper, and her heart pounded violently.

Xiao Chen gently pushed her down onto the bed.

Yao Ye opened her eyes and looked at him.

A night of entanglement.

The next morning.

When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding, the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing System reward is being calculated.]

Xiao Chen quickly focused his mind.

[Host has completed the grand wedding with Yao Ye, reward obtained: Five-Star Dou Zong cultivation.]

Xiao Chen felt a jolt in his heart.

Five-Star Dou Zong.

He had broken through directly from a Four-Star Dou Zong to a Five-Star Dou Zong.

Xiao Chen clenched his fists, feeling the surging, boundless power within his body.

It was significantly stronger than when he was a Four-Star Dou Zong.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth could not help but curl upward.

As expected of the system.

Marrying Yao Ye had directly increased his cultivation by one star.

Once he married Yao Yue, he would be able to increase it by another star.

By then, he would be a Six-Star Dou Zong.

Xiao Chen glanced at Yao Ye beside him.

Yao Ye was still asleep, her breathing steady, a faint blush still lingering on her face.

Xiao Chen sat up and put on his clothes.

Just then, Yao Ye woke up as well.

She opened her eyes, and just as she was about to sit up, she suddenly froze.

The Dou Qi within her body was surging wildly.

The seal had been broken.

Furthermore, her strength was still continuously rising.

Yao Ye hurriedly closed her eyes, carefully sensing the changes.

Her strength soared all the way until it stopped at a one-star Dou King.

Yao Ye opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

A one-star Dou King.

She had only possessed the strength of a Dou Spirit before.

Overnight, she had broken through to a one-star Dou King.

How could this be possible?

Yao Ye looked at Xiao Chen beside her, her eyes full of astonishment.

"My strength..."

Yao Ye spoke, her voice trembling.

"A one-star Dou King."

Yao Ye fell silent.

She looked at Xiao Chen, a thought surging in her heart.

Could her increase in strength be related to Xiao Chen?

Before marrying him, she was only a one-star Dou Spirit.

To become a one-star Dou King overnight.

Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

Yao Ye bit her lip, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She did not know what to say.

Xiao Chen turned and walked out of the bridal chamber.

Yao Ye sat on the bed, watching Xiao Chen's departing back.

She lowered her head and looked at her own hands.

The power of a one-star Dou King flowed through her body, making it feel somewhat unreal.

Yao Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the bridal chamber.

After leaving the bridal chamber, Xiao Chen was preparing to go cultivate.

A Snake-Person hurried over.

"Lord Xiao Chen, the Queen requests your presence in the main hall."

The Snake-Person said.

Xiao Chen nodded and walked toward the main hall.

Inside the main hall.

Queen Medusa sat upon the throne.

Several elders stood on both sides.

Seeing Xiao Chen walk in, the First Elder spoke first.

"Xiao Chen, congratulations."

The several elders laughed, "You have taken another wife."

The Third Elder also spoke up.

Queen Medusa looked at him and said indifferently.

"How was last night?"

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen, it was very good."

Xiao Chen said.

Queen Medusa nodded.

"That is good."

Queen Medusa said, "As for Yao Yue, when do you plan to marry her?"

"The sooner the better."

Xiao Chen said.

Queen Medusa glanced at him.

"Then let it be tomorrow."

Queen Medusa said.

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Many thanks, Queen."

Xiao Chen said.

Queen Medusa waved her hand.

"You may withdraw."

Queen Medusa said.

Xiao Chen turned and left the great hall.

Queen Medusa leaned back on her throne, watching his retreating figure.

She withdrew her gaze, the corners of her lips curling upward slightly.

"As expected, his strength has increased by another star..."

Queen Medusa murmured.

She had just sensed the change in the aura emanating from Xiao Chen.

It was stronger than it had been yesterday.

Five-star Dou Ancestor.

A flicker of anticipation flashed through Queen Medusa's eyes.

Once Xiao Chen married Yao Yue, he would be a six-star Dou Ancestor.

By then, Xiao Chen's strength would have left her far behind.

Yao Yue had not slept well all night.

She lay in her room, tossing and turning, her mind filled with images of her sister being taken away by Xiao Chen.

What would that Snake-Person do to her sister?

Would her sister be bullied?

The more Yao Yue thought about it, the more worried she became, and she climbed out of bed before dawn had even broken.

She dressed quickly, hurried out of her room, and headed toward Yao Ye's bridal chamber.

The corridors were quiet, and the clansmen were all still resting.

Yao Yue's footsteps were hurried, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Reaching the door of the bridal chamber, she took a deep breath and pushed it open.

"Sister!"

Yao Yue called out, walking quickly into the room.

Yao Ye was sitting on the edge of the bed, head lowered, lost in thought.

Hearing Yao Yue's voice, she looked up.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Yao Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Yao Ye's hair was somewhat disheveled, and her face still bore a trace of a flush.

Her wedding dress was draped carelessly over a chair, and the bedsheets were also somewhat messy.

Yao Yue's gaze fell upon the sheets, and she froze instantly.

There was a glaring patch of blood-red on the sheets.

Although Yao Yue was not yet old, she knew exactly what that meant.

Her sister had already been bullied by that scoundrel Xiao Chen.

Yao Yue's eyes turned red in an instant.

She rushed to the bedside and grabbed Yao Ye's hand.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Yao Yue asked urgently, her voice trembling.

"That Xiao Chen, did he bully you?"

Yao Ye looked at her without speaking.

Yao Yue became even more anxious.

"Sister, please say something."

Yao Yue said, "Did he do something to you..."

Yao Ye still did not speak.

Yao Yue was so anxious that tears began to fall.

"Sister, please, you must not do anything rash."

Yao Yue said, "No matter what happens, I will stay by your side."

"We will think of a way together; we can definitely escape this place."

Yao Ye looked at her sister's worried expression and finally snapped back to reality.

She gently patted Yao Yue's hand.

"I'm fine."

Yao Ye said.

Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Are you really okay?"

Yao Yue asked.

"I am."

Yao Ye nodded.

Yao Yue let out a sigh of relief, but seeing the blood-red stain on the bedsheet, her heart still felt a pang of distress.

"Sister, that Xiao Chen, he..."

Yao Yue gritted her teeth, "Did he bully you?"

Yao Ye had been a bit dazed just now and hadn't reacted in time.

After she regained her focus, she looked at Yao Yue.

She was silent for a moment before speaking.

"He did not bully me."

Yao Ye said.

Yao Yue was dumbfounded.

"He didn't bully you?"

Yao Yue pointed at the bedsheet and then said, "Then how could there be..."
