A saintess fiancée? A gray-robed youth, the Peerless Sword God!

Yue Liuli's words left not only the Jade Pool Saintess stunned.

Even Ye Tian froze inwardly, unable to process what she had said.

He thought, Mom, Mom, I'm still a baby who was born just a few days ago!

His mother's bizarre train of thought almost made Ye Tian laugh. He had only been born a few days ago, and she was already thinking about an arranged marriage.

At first, he had been utterly dismissive, but then he glanced at the Jade Pool Saintess's profile.

"Hmm, it's not entirely out of the question."

As the Holy Lady who ruled over a holy land, Yue Liuli possessed strength unmatched beneath the heavens and stood at the peak of the God Sovereign realm. How could she fail to understand the implications?

She had given this decision careful thought.

Yao Xi was the Saintess of the Jade Pool Holy Land. Marrying her to the Young Master of the Eternal Ye Family would further secure the Eternal Ye Family's hold over the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Moreover, Yao Xi possessed the Taiyin Sacred Physique, a constitution rarely seen even across several eras, and pure Taiyin Origin Yin resided within her.

Dual cultivation with her would bring immense benefits to her partner.

It could greatly advance his cultivation and improve his aptitude, with countless other wonders too numerous to detail.

Her own child had mediocre talent. If he could obtain the origin yin of the Taiyin Sacred Physique, the help it provided would be tremendous.

Yao Xi's expression wavered. She lightly bit her upper lip, torn.

It was not that she was unwilling, but the other party was merely a baby born a few days ago.

She was sixteen years older than him. Wasn't this blatantly an old cow nibbling tender grass?!

But... he was the son of the Jade Pool Holy Lady and the reigning God Emperor. His status and background were undoubtedly among the highest in the world.

With a mere wave of her hand, countless Imperial Princesses of Ancient Kingdoms and fairy maidens of ancient clans would scramble to become her maids, let alone his fiancée.

Yao Xi sank into indecision.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Ye Tian's mind.

"Ding! This woman is actually hesitating over becoming the host's fiancée?!"

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrading..."

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade successful. Daoist Companion Attraction Mode activated. The world's finest looks are being automatically integrated!"

"Daoist Companion Attraction Mode: the host will possess an innate attraction to cultivators of the opposite sex."

As the system finished speaking, a faint halo suddenly appeared around Ye Tian's body. Its lustrous glow lent him an ethereal air, while a wisp of immortal energy wound around him thanks to the Immortal Bone he had integrated.

Though Ye Tian was only a baby, his charm soared. Even Yue Liuli had the strange impression, Oh? Tian'er seems even cuter now.

Even a supreme expert at the peak of the God Sovereign realm reacted this way, let alone the Jade Pool Saintess, whose cultivation was much lower.

When she turned to look at Ye Tian again, she increasingly felt that fate bound her to this baby, and an inexplicable urge drew her to go play with him.

Then she gritted her teeth.

"I shall obey the Holy Lady's command!"

Ye Tian cursed inwardly, You damned system! I want to slack off and lie flat. Can't you stop making such a spectacle of me?

He was speechless. Now it had saddled him with a Daoist Companion Attraction Mode.

If he attracted female cultivators in the future and one happened to be married, wouldn't he be forced to become a wife-stealing Cao Cao?!

He only wanted to lie flat. Was that so difficult?

With this mode, would he ever be free of trouble from women?!

"Good. In that case, once Tian'er has had his coming-of-age ceremony, I, the Saint Lord, shall personally preside over your engagement!"

“We shall set out for the Jade Pool Holy Land tomorrow and bring this news back to the holy land. Let all beneath the heavens celebrate!”

Seeing Yao Xi agree, Yue Liuli was delighted and could barely wait to spread the news immediately.

But after considering it, she decided to wait until Ye Junlin returned before discussing it further.

"My lady, I failed in my duties. I deserve death!"

Ye Linglong knelt on the ground, cold sweat breaking out as her slender body trembled.

She had never imagined that in the middle of the night, Ye Tian, a mere baby, could overcome obstacle after obstacle and escape her Sleeping Palace.

Fortunately, he was safe and sound, and nothing had happened.

Otherwise, even ten thousand deaths could not have absolved her.

If anything had happened to Ye Tian, she was certain of one thing.

Ye Junlin and Yue Liuli would turn the entire Eternal Immortal Domain upside down.

"Hmph! You may be spared death, but you will not escape punishment!"

"I shall give you a chance to redeem yourself. Take good care of the Young Master."

"I expect what happened today to happen only once!"

Yue Liuli spoke coldly, her voice like thunder and lightning, carrying a might that blanketed the heavens and sent chills through anyone who heard it.

Ye Linglong was drenched in cold sweat, utterly terrified. Her lips trembled as she said, "Thank you for your great mercy, my lady!"

Yue Liuli gave a cold snort, then transformed into a streak of light and went to discuss matters concerning their return to the holy land with Yao Xi.

Looking at Ye Tian in her arms, Ye Linglong smiled helplessly. "Oh, my little ancestor, you nearly cost your cousin her life."

"From now on, I'll have to hold you even tighter at night!"

Ye Linglong was full of complaints. This was the first time a little troublemaker had played her for a fool.

She had initially harbored some resentment toward Ye Tian, but for some reason, the instant she saw him, it all vanished. She was simply grateful that this little ancestor was safe.

The system: You think you can resist my new mode?

Knowing he was in the wrong, Ye Tian kept sneaking glances into the distance.

But since he had the body of a baby, Ye Linglong thought nothing of it and merely assumed he was restless.

"Settle down, little ancestor."

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains within the Eternal Ye Family's grounds.

Ferocious beasts roamed and myriad creatures leaped about, brimming with vitality. Green vines as thick as coiling dragons wound around ancient trees, while demonic snakes as wide as buckets lurked in hidden thickets, waiting for their chance to strike a fatal blow at their prey.

Amid all this was a youth in a loose gray robe, with strikingly heroic features and eyes as sharp as blades, holding a three-foot sword.

He sat cross-legged, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refining it into the spiritual sea within his dantian.

He seemed to merge with the surrounding world, becoming a divine Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Just then, an enormous black snake, whose cultivation had reached the Divine Ability Realm, flicked its forked tongue. Its eyes were vicious, its black armored scales gleamed coldly, and it waited for an opening, seemingly having set its sights on the sword-wielding youth.

This was a Blackwater Armored Snake. A trace of the Primordial Teng Snake's bloodline flowed within it, making it powerful enough to reign over a stretch of mountain wilderness.

Finally, the instant the youth finished drawing in spiritual energy, the Blackwater Armored Snake's gaze turned savage. Killing intent spilled forth as it burst out, charging straight at him like a flood dragon emerging from the sea.

The gray-robed youth's gaze sharpened. In an instant, his divine sword left its sheath, and heaven and earth dissolved into a sweep of nothingness. Sword Qi surged across three thousand miles, sweeping through the world with staggering power and thunderous force.

Sword light pierced the heavens, its radiance blazing for ten thousand lengths and tearing through the void. A miserable beast's roar echoed across heaven and earth, making hearts tremble.

When the light faded, the youth stood with his sword in hand, the Blackwater Armored Snake's corpse beneath his feet. Its incredibly sturdy scales, as tough as dark iron, had been shredded by countless rays of sword light.

"The trials within the Lineage aren't exciting at all. Ah, there's no challenge."

"I'd be better off inviting a few old friends over to discuss the way of the sword!"

This youth was none other than Ye Tian's older paternal cousin, Ye Sword God.

He was the Ye Sword God of rumor, whose talent in the sword stood proudly above the world and who styled himself the Peerless Sword God.

Among the younger generation of the Eternal Immortal Domain, he enjoyed illustrious renown and was universally acknowledged as their foremost practitioner of the sword.

"Perfect timing. The God Emperor's son has been born. I ought to visit my adorable little cousin."

"If his aptitude is decent, he might as well join me in studying the great Sword Dao!"
