[Ding! Signed in at a first-grade treasure site: 1. 200 points 2. Bloodline increased 3. Cultivation increased 4. Skill: "Dorsal Ray"]
Ye Ye hadn't expected to get another skill.
Ye Ye: "Open the system panel."
[Ding! System panel opened: System: Sign-in Evolution System Host: Ye Ye Race: Godzilla (juvenile) World traveled to: Douluo Continent Method of transmigration: Killed by the system System storage: Gacha Pool, Random Teleportation Card *1, Godzilla World Titan Random Summon Card *1, Mecha-Godzilla *1, Jinkela *1, Mall, Mysterious Small World (merging), Mysterious Serum *1, n Gold Soul Coins Cultivation: 65,000 years Skills: Tail Whip, Electromagnetic Pulse, Berserk, King's Aura, Dorsal Ray Points: 1,200 Bloodline: 35 Height: 30 meters]
Godzilla's bloodline had increased again, and his physical stats had grown even stronger.
Captain: "Next, I'll take you to meet His Majesty."
Ye Ye and the others arrived at the place where Emperor Xue Ye worked. The captain asked the eunuch at the entrance for permission to enter. The eunuch went inside to report to Emperor Xue Ye, and only after receiving his instructions did he let the captain bring Ye Ye and the others in.
The captain led them inside. When he saw Emperor Xue Ye, he dropped to one knee and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent didn't have to kneel before the emperor, but they still had to show basic respect. Ye Ye, Benboba, and Babengbo followed the captain's example and paid their respects.
To be honest, Ye Ye didn't want to kneel. A man should kneel to heaven, earth, and his parents; there was gold beneath a man's knees. But Ye Ye hadn't completed his mission yet. Just now, he'd suddenly received today's sign-in location: the Crown Prince's residence. So he still had to find a way to get close to the Crown Prince. After all, Ye Ye knew the Crown Prince was actually Qian Renxue, and he was afraid she'd recognize him.
(The author just remembered the unresolved plot point from earlier, too: the system won't refresh the sign-in location until the current one has been completed.)
Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly, then said, "Rise."
Captain: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up along with Ye Ye and the others.
Emperor Xue Ye gestured for the captain to introduce them.
The captain introduced Ye Ye and the others to Emperor Xue Ye. "Your Majesty, these are the guards who were selected. The first-place candidate is Ye Ye, a level-59 Soul King. The second- and third-place candidates are Babengbo and Benboba, who are level 58 and level 59, respectively."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded. "Good. Ye Ye is hereby appointed as the guards' squad captain. Benboba and Babengbo are appointed as team leaders."
Ye Ye was thrilled—not because he'd become the squad captain, but because this meant he could approach the Crown Prince openly.
But he also noticed jealousy and resentment in Benboba and Babengbo's eyes. Ye Ye understood. They definitely wouldn't obey him.
(One ellipsis indicates a scene break; two indicate an ending.)
Some time passed. Ye Ye had been here for nearly a month, but still hadn't gotten the chance to approach the Crown Prince. He usually guarded Emperor Xue Ye, and hadn't even seen the Crown Prince.
During that time, Benboba and Babengbo often refused to cooperate with him and made trouble for him. If Ye Ye got the chance, he'd kill them.
Just as Ye Ye was wondering whether he should barge in and leave, his opportunity finally came.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe came to see Emperor Xue Ye. As she passed Ye Ye, she glanced at him, and Ye Ye felt as if he'd been exposed.
Qian Renxue: "Why does he seem so familiar? It's like I've seen him somewhere before." A woman's sixth sense really was powerful.
If Ye Ye had known, he could only have admitted defeat and said, "That's terrifying."
Then Xue Qinghe went in to speak with Emperor Xue Ye.
A eunuch who served Emperor Xue Ye came out and said to Ye Ye, "His Majesty wants to see you."
Ye Ye was confused, but he could only follow the eunuch inside.
After seeing Emperor Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe, Ye Ye symbolically dropped to one knee and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Emperor Xue Ye: "Rise."
After Ye Ye stood, he said, "Ye Ye, from now on, you'll be the Crown Prince's personal guard."
"What?" Ye Ye was stunned.
Emperor Xue Ye: "What, you don't want to?"
Ye Ye: "I'm willing."
Ye Ye hadn't expected to suddenly become Xue Qinghe's guard, but that was fine. He'd be able to sign in soon.
Then Xue Qinghe led Ye Ye away.
They arrived outside Xue Qinghe's residence. Once they went inside, Xiao Ai's sweet voice rang out.
[You have reached a sign-in location. Sign in?]
Ye Ye thought, Yes.
[Ding! Signed in at a first-grade treasure site. Congratulations, you received: 1. Increased cultivation 2. Increased bloodline 3. 200 points 4. Hehuan Powder, with potent effects (yes, the kind you're thinking of)]
Ye Ye: "I understand the first few, but what's that last one? Am I that kind of person?"
[Ding! Don't you know what kind of person you are? Your Sea of Consciousness is yellow all the time.]
Ye Ye: "..."
Just as Ye Ye was thinking about how to leave, Xue Qinghe spoke. "General Ye—calling you General shouldn't be a problem—have we met before?"
Ye Ye thought, Could she have found out something?
Ye Ye: "How could that be? How could I possibly have met the Crown Prince?"
Qian Renxue noticed Ye Ye's brief hesitation and his unnatural expression.
Xue Qinghe: "Ohhh, really?"
As she spoke, she struck at Ye Ye.
Ye Ye took the blow with his body.
Ye Ye: "Young people these days have no honor. Attacking by surprise!"
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue): "How is that possible?" She was already level 67. If he were really level 59, he shouldn't have been able to block that attack so easily.
Xue Qinghe: "Who are you, really?"
Ye Ye knew he'd been exposed, so he didn't hold back. "I'm your grandpa."
Since he'd completed the sign-in, Ye Ye was ready to leave. But just as he was about to go, a blast of Soul Power shot toward him.
Ye Ye dodged to the side. "Young people these days have no honor. You'd better behave yourself."
Ye Ye activated his Martial Soul. When Qian Renxue saw it, she remembered the Soul Beast from that day. She still couldn't be sure, but she wanted to take out her frustration on Ye Ye.
Then she activated her Martial Soul and attacked him. Ye Ye didn't hold back and used Tail Whip.
His tail struck Xue Qinghe.
Qian Renxue: That familiar feeling...
Qian Renxue: "I'm going to kill you!"
[Ding! The host is in danger. Automatically using Hehuan Powder.]
Ye Ye: "What makes you think I'm in danger? And why are you using Hehuan Powder?"
Before Ye Ye could stop it, the powder had already been used. White powder suddenly appeared in the air. After Qian Renxue inhaled it, she stopped attacking, and her body gradually flushed red.
Ye Ye inhaled the Hehuan Powder too. He felt his body heating up and his consciousness slipping away.
Qian Renxue returned to her original appearance. She'd lost consciousness, and her body began undressing on instinct.
Ye Ye saw Qian Renxue's body and was instantly captivated. His body grew even hotter, and his consciousness rapidly faded.
Finally, Ye Ye couldn't take it anymore. He held Qian Renxue in his arms. She felt someone embrace her, and under the powder's influence, she responded eagerly, kissing him. Ye Ye lost consciousness completely and became a beast.
In the last moment before he blacked out, he seemed to hear Xiao Ai's voice: "Hehe."
"Ah... ah... ah..." Ye Ye faintly heard the sounds.
(The next 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 words have been omitted.)
(The author doesn't know what happened either.)
When Ye Ye woke up again, he found that he and Qian Renxue were both naked, and he was holding her.
Ye Ye was startled. Remembering what had happened the previous day, he thought back on their day and night of passion.
But then Ye Ye suddenly remembered something. He moved Qian Renxue off him, took one last look at her, pulled a new set of clothes from his storage ring, and put them on. Then he covered Qian Renxue with a blanket and left, thinking, I'll come back for you.
As soon as Ye Ye left, Qian Renxue woke up. She remembered what had happened the night before, felt the pain in her body, and began to cry.
After Qian Renxue finished crying, she changed back into Xue Qinghe and cleaned up the scene.
Qian Renxue: "Ye Ye! I'm going to kill you!"
Ye Ye had already left Heaven Dou City. He knew he couldn't stay in the city anymore—not even in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ye Ye also felt guilty toward Qian Renxue.
Ye Ye started berating Xiao Ai. "Xiao Ai, this is all your fault!"
[How is it my fault? I was helping you.]
Ye Ye: "How did you help me? Now she'll hate me, and besides, am I the kind of person who would force someone?"
Ye Ye had no choice. He could only drift wherever the wind took him. He planned to leave the Heaven Dou Empire and head for the Star Luo Empire or Spirit Hall.
Ye Ye thought Spirit Hall would be better. Although it had plenty of powerful experts, none of them could see through his identity. And he was sure he could sign in and get plenty of good stuff there.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, activate 'Unscrupulous Navigation.'"
Crow: "Caw~ Caw~ Caw~"
Ye Ye: "Don't be mad! I don't know the way."
Crow: "Caw~ Caw~ Caw~"
Ye Ye: "Great, now you're mad. I'll just have to wander for now and wait for the system to be in a better mood."
Ye Ye headed toward the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall. He asked a few passersby for directions, then went straight across instead of following the route.
Ye Ye walked for a day, finally reaching a city late at night. The gates had already closed.
Ye Ye: "Could you open the city gates?"
Guard: "No. Come back tomorrow."
Ye Ye knew the rules. He took out a Gold Soul Coin and tossed it up. "I know the rules. This is for you brothers to buy some drinks."
Guard: "Wait a moment. We'll open the gates for you right away."
After entering the city, Ye Ye first found a hotel.
This hotel was perfectly ordinary, and very cheap. Ye Ye ordered some food, ate his fill, then went to sleep.
Ye Ye: Good night, readers.
