Heaven Dou Imperial Family Arrives, Not Going Back?

Ye Mu knew that many people would be searching for him.

But for now, the Sky Screen had yet to expose him completely.

Let those people scramble about.

The only ones who truly knew his identity were those on Nirvana Island.

Aside from that, there were a few old monsters living in seclusion.

Even if someone found them,

they would never expose him.

Without his permission, who would dare reveal his identity?

Xue Ke had already tidied up the sofa.

Tang Yuehua had someone bring in two quilts.

Xue Ke spread one quilt over the sofa and folded the other one neatly.

"It's quite comfortable."

She pressed down on it. It was very soft!

The sofa was also wide.

It was spacious enough for her alone.

"Good night, Master Ye."

Xue Ke yawned.

It was already late at night. Time to sleep.

Although she had not done much all day, she was still exhausted.

Ye Mu sat by the window, leisurely drinking tea.

Heaven Dou City's nightscape was quite nice, brilliantly lit.

This Elegant Chamber was located at the very top of Moonlight Pavilion. It was high enough to overlook much of the beautiful night scenery.

There were still quite a few people on the streets, presenting a bustling scene.

But when it grew late and the crowds thinned, some people began to stir.

Sure enough, no matter where you go, there are always people living in the darkness.

Ye Mu watched with great interest.

With the Sky Screen's revelations, Douluo Continent should be quite lively now.

The predetermined storyline might undergo some changes as well.

Take Tang San, for instance.

Without the support of Immortal Herbs and the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon techniques,

his growth would be severely limited.

It would basically be impossible for him to grow as rapidly as he had in the original storyline.

After all, those had all been important opportunities.

Having them forcibly stripped away by the Sky Screen would greatly damage his fortune.

Besides, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was an extremely important item.

It was the key to obtaining the Sea God's Nine Trials.

However...

That thing was now in his hands.

Naturally, he would not give it to Tang San, since he did not think much of him anyway.

It was purely subjective. He simply felt that Tang San was far too hypocritical.

After the Sea God had presented him with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud,

he had casually tossed it into his storage space.

He only took it out occasionally to play with it.

To this day, he had not given it to the Heaven Dou Empire.

After all, it belonged to him. The Heaven Dou Empire could not obtain this Divine Tool.

After watching the night view for a while, he returned to his room to sleep.

Before sleeping, he flicked a finger.

A faint curtain of light enveloped the entire Elegant Chamber.

Even if the mountains collapsed and the earth split outside, no sound would be heard within.

Nor could anyone break in.

The next day, Ye Mu was awakened by a burst of knocking.

The knocking came from within the Elegant Chamber.

"Master Ye, Master Ye, get up."

Xue Ke's energetic voice came from outside the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. It's so early in the morning. Can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

Ye Mu yawned as he got up and opened the door.

Xue Ke was already standing outside, neatly dressed and made up.

Even the quilts on the sofa had been folded away.

"It's already past eight. How is that early?"

Xue Ke's eyes widened.

Master Ye's habit of sleeping in really could not be changed.

If no one woke him up, he could sleep for three days and nights without opening his eyes.

"Past eight? That's nothing."

Ye Mu walked into the bathroom to wash up and soon emerged, refreshed.

In the past, he could sleep for hundreds of years at a time.

For an existence that could neither die nor be destroyed, sleeping for eighty or a hundred years when bored was perfectly reasonable, was it not?

The passage of the sun and moon, the changing of dynasties—none of it had anything to do with him.

"Master Ye, shall we have something simple for breakfast?"

Xue Ke asked softly.

She was afraid Ye Mu would start eating endlessly first thing in the morning.

"Mm, soy milk and fried dough sticks will do."

"Alright, I'll have Moonlight Pavilion's chefs prepare them."

Xue Ke left after saying that.

Before long, she returned carrying soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Even something as simple as soy milk and fried dough sticks was prepared to perfection by Moonlight Pavilion's chefs.

If Ye Mu was dissatisfied, their wages would be docked.

And if Ye Mu was satisfied, they would be rewarded!

"Not bad, not bad. Have some too."

Ye Mu took a sip of soy milk. It was smooth and fragrant, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

There was not the slightest grainy texture.

Xue Ke did not stand on ceremony. After living together for so many years, she was long used to it.

After a simple breakfast, Ye Mu prepared to head out for a stroll.

But just as he stepped out of the Elegant Chamber, he saw Tang Yuehua approaching.

Her expression was slightly unpleasant.

"Mr. Ye, something has happened."

"What is it?"

This was Moonlight Pavilion. Could someone really dare cause trouble here?

"People from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family have arrived. They say they want to take Xue Ke back."

"What? Go back?"

"I won't!"

Before Ye Mu could say anything, Xue Ke behind him exploded.

It was so dangerous outside right now.

Staying by Master Ye's side was the safest option.

What did they mean by making her go back?

Did someone want to harm her?

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Ye sneezed twice.

"Has it gotten cold?"

He muttered to himself. Since when had his health become so poor?

"Father, Xue Ke still hasn't returned?"

"It's too dangerous outside. We should have her return early."

Xue Qinghe—Qian Renxue—spoke with deep concern.

She seemed genuinely worried about her little sister's safety outside.

Xue Ye nodded and said, "I've already sent people to bring her back. They should arrive soon."

His daughter had received rewards from the Sky Screen.

Her Martial Soul had evolved into a top-tier Martial Soul, and she had also obtained the Divine Tool Heart of Universe.

With so many rewards, she would likely attract the attention of others.

For example, Spirit Hall!

After years of open and covert conflict with Spirit Hall, he understood their methods all too well.

That was why Xue Ke had to return to the Imperial Palace and could no longer wander outside so freely.

That was the safest place.

Qian Renxue nodded.

She had not expected Xue Ke to receive rewards.

However, compared to hers, those rewards still fell somewhat short.

The Divine Tool was the only thing that truly drew her attention.

She had to find out exactly what that Divine Tool did.

The Heaven Dou Empire obtaining a Divine Tool might affect her future plans.

She was now already a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

But taking control of the Heaven Dou Empire had never been something brute force alone could accomplish.

Everything had to be flawless.

Fortunately, the Sky Screen had not exposed her identity here. Otherwise, quite a few people would probably be coming after her now.

At Moonlight Pavilion,

the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's cavalry waited outside.

Several soul masters entered Moonlight Pavilion.

"Princess, please return with us, for your safety!"

Three Soul Emperors above level sixty, one level seventy-eight Soul Saint,

and one Soul Douluo above level eighty.

Such a lineup to escort Xue Ke showed how much importance Xue Ye placed on her.

"I'm not going back. I want to stay here with Master Ye!"

Xue Ke refused without hesitation.

The several soul masters looked at one another.

Finally, the Soul Douluo looked at Ye Mu. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mr. Ye, why not persuade the princess?"

These people had blocked Ye Mu's way, which had already annoyed him.

And now they wanted him to persuade her?

"It's her decision. I won't interfere."

With that, he prepared to leave.

It had been a long time since he had gone out for a stroll. It was a good chance to see whether anything new was happening elsewhere.

"This is Your Majesty's order. Please do not make things difficult for us. Otherwise..."

Bang!

Before he could finish, the Soul Douluo turned into a shooting star, smashed through a window of Yue Pavilion, and vanished into the distant sky.
