Snow Empress Gets Mischievous Ideas

The little interruption soon passed, and Sea Horse Douluo led them to a strangely shaped stone pillar.

"Normally, visitors must undergo the Sea-in-the-Sea trial, but since you are honored guests guided here by Lord Sea God, there is naturally no need."

After explaining this, Sea Horse asked who would go first.

"Let Sister Mu Xia give it a try first."

Ye Yan nudged her forward. They all said immortal herbs were Douluo-making machines. Having eaten the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, she couldn't do too badly, surely.

As Sea Horse Douluo closed his eyes in prayer, a faint blue glow appeared in his palms. The pillar stirred, and a shaft of light descended from the sky, enveloping Mu Xia.

Soon, the blue light turned white, then yellow and purple, before finally becoming black as ink.

"The Black Level Four Trials!"

Sea Horse was rather surprised. To think the very first person would receive trials of the same level as his own. She definitely had the makings of a Titled Douluo.

"That looks pretty fun. My turn next!"

Ning Rongrong's lively voice rang out. The girl was at her most playful age, and seeing how wondrous the trial awakening was, she naturally couldn't wait to hop forward.

Sea Horse was a little surprised. Isn't that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul from the continent? Hmm? Hers seems different. It actually has nine stories.

He was curious about what was special about those two extra stories. When the blue pillar of light descended again, it instantly passed through white, yellow, and purple to black, then soared straight upward, far beyond the limit he remembered.

Then, beneath Sea Horse Douluo's astonished gaze, a magnificent crimson radiance pierced the heavens.

Almost everyone on the entire Sea Island looked up at the same moment. This was... the Top-Tier Seven Trials!

In the central temple, a silver-haired woman in red robes slowly opened her eyes, a gleam of joy appearing within them. At last, someone can inherit my mantle.

The red light faded, transforming into a strange Seven-Pointed Star that sank into Ning Rongrong's forehead, making her already fair, delicate skin shine even brighter.

"Hehe, Xiaoyan, what do you think?"

Ning Rongrong planted her hands on her slender waist and looked smugly at Ye Yan. She might as well have had "Praise me now" written across her face.

"Yes, yes, Rongrong is the best!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Ye Yan stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her high.

Hmm.

There are outsiders here, and Rongrong is wearing a little skirt, so no spinning her around. Wouldn't want her flashing anyone~

After fooling around for a while, Ye Yan put her down and turned to Sea Horse, raising a question that had lingered in his mind for years-was there any cultivation restriction on accepting the trials?

Sea Horse fell into thought after hearing him. Clearly, he had encountered this question before.

"Hiss... Lord Sea God really doesn't seem to have specified any. In theory, even a Titled Douluo can accept the trials, but anyone who fails will die.

"And you land Soul Masters only have one year to complete each trial. Risking your lives for a possible improvement...

"It simply isn't worth it."

Ye Yan nodded. That did make sense.

He abandoned the idea. Ling Yuan was his wife, after all. If Sea God had a screw loose and assigned Bo Saixi as her opponent, wouldn't that be the end of her?

Now, for the grand finale, it's time for the protagonist to take the stage! ദ്ദി◝⩊◜.ᐟ

After the pillar of light enveloped Ye Yan, the phenomenon was even more spectacular than Ning Rongrong's. In an instant, the blue light turned blood-red.

A sound like the ocean's lament rang out. Then an enormous scarlet pillar of light burst forth around him, making the entire Sea Island tremble.

Snow Empress and the others could clearly see six equally enormous pillars of light shooting into the clouds in the distance, converging at a single point in the sky.

Its color changed again, becoming a dazzling, gilded radiance that descended upon him. Ye Yan could clearly sense its majesty and grandeur.

Then a Trident appeared between his brows. Ye Yan instinctively opened his mouth and exhaled a misty breath of stale air. This golden light seemed capable of cleansing his marrow and purifying his body, leaving him feeling much lighter.

Ignoring the stupefied Sea Horse before him, Ye Yan went over to his Big Sisters and showed off to each of them in turn. Hurry up and bow before this young master! I got a divine trial~

Ling Yuan and Ice Empress attacked from either side, pinching his cheeks. Xiaoyan, you're still too young. You dare act so brazenly before you've even become a god? Just watch us toy with you until you break.

"Kekeke."

After finally escaping the two of them, Ye Yan came up to Snow Empress. Of all his wives, this elemental Big Sister was the hardest to win over. Watch me unleash my super-cute act! ꒰ᐢ๑＞ᴥ＜๑ᐢ꒱

With his starry eyes brighter and more dazzling than ever, he carefully took her fair hands and pressed them against the center of his brow.

"Xue'er, I didn't lie to you, did I? In just a few years, we'll be able to go to the Divine Realm together."

Snow Empress rubbed the pale golden mark with her forefinger. Having witnessed the phenomenon of a divine trial firsthand, her feelings were extremely complicated. Humans really were uniquely blessed on the path of cultivation. She had cultivated bitterly for hundreds of thousands of years, yet had never won a god's favor.

With just a little more pressure from her fingertip, she could see Ye Yan pout, looking utterly pitiful. Oh, so he's a foolish little beauty, too.

Looks like I'm not so unlucky after all, meeting such a well-behaved Xiaoyan. Even if I really can't become a god, bullying the future Sea God isn't bad either.

"Phew~"

Snow Empress's warm breath brushed through his hair, carrying her uniquely pure fragrance-ethereal and holy, a scent Ye Yan had never encountered before.

"I pressed a little too hard just now. Are you all right?"

Big Sister's soothing words were so gentle that even the battle-hardened Ye Yan couldn't resist, a blush spreading across his face.

"I-I'm fine. I'm just too sensitive. It's not your fault, Sister Xue'er."

Snow Empress covered her mouth and chuckled. Xiaoyan is so cute. He even makes excuses for me himself. Keep this up, and wicked women will devour you until there's nothing left!

Just as she scratched Ye Yan's chin as though petting a kitten, the surrounding space warped slightly, and a tall, mature woman appeared before the Sacred Pillar.

She wore a crown and held a silver scepter. Her fish-scale gown brushed the ground, while the long silver hair flowing behind her nearly reached it.

"Greetings, Great Enshrined."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Sea Horse Douluo and Xiao Bai respectfully clasped their fists and dropped to one knee.

Bo Saixi nodded in acknowledgment, but her gaze remained on Snow Empress. The pressure this woman gave her was even greater than Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had back then (yin-yang complementary soul core).

When did such a powerful figure emerge on the continent?

Noticing the movement behind him, Ye Yan turned to look at Bo Saixi, whom he had been talking about for so long.

Noble. Elegant.

That was his first impression. She really does deserve to be the head wife. So beautiful~

Seeing Ye Yan for the first time, Bo Saixi was also astonished. To think such a beautiful man existed in this world. Even she, who had spent decades cultivating in seclusion, felt her heart stir.

No, something's wrong!

Possessing the 100,000-Year Skull and an exceptionally meticulous mind, Bo Saixi quickly noticed something amiss. She wasn't some infatuated fool with weak self-control. How could his looks alone make her feel so much affection for him?
