The Dou Qi Continent kept turning without Meng Chen. People went on living as they always had.
Yafei spent her days managing affairs. With the help of all kinds of pills, her cultivation had reached Dou Emperor, a level barely fit to guard a gate in the Central Plains.
But no one dared underestimate her. Even Yao Ming, a Dou Sheng, took orders from her, and he was exceptionally loyal.
Yao Ming was willing to obey her because Yafei had become Meng Chen's woman.
After all, Yafei's cultivation was low, yet she commanded a host of subordinates who could crush her with ease. Resentment could easily have taken root.
Her connection to Meng Chen changed that. Even Yao Ming treated Yafei's orders as Meng Chen's own, and his resistance to obeying her faded.
Everyone was pleased with the arrangement except Qing Yanjing.
Fortunately, Meng Chen had spent a great deal of effort persuading her. Only then could Yafei manage the Divine Court's affairs in peace, rather than hold a position that left her fearful while growing old alone.
"My husband..."
Yafei gazed toward the place where Meng Chen was cultivating in seclusion, her eyes full of tenderness.
Whenever the affairs of Chen City wore her down, she liked to look his way.
But today, something seemed to stir within the place that had so long been quiet.
Yafei paused.
Terrifying energy gathered around Meng Chen like a storm!
Was the Little Divine King... breaking through again?!
That terrifying aura seemed to sweep across the world. Everyone in the Black-Corner Region felt their hearts seize, as though they stood before an ancient divine king.
They knew at once: their Little Divine King had made another breakthrough.
The immense pressure covered the Black-Corner Region for a long time before slowly receding.
