Jealous and obsessive

"Big Sister Ling Yuan, Bing'er, Xue'er, did you miss me?"

After cuddling with Ning Rongrong, Ye Yan went over to the big sisters who were meditating with their eyes closed.

A line of crows flew past. Even Ling Yuan, who usually loved fooling around with him, gave no response. They all treated him like air.

Left with no choice, Ye Yan stretched out his Fox Tail to tickle her. Red flames appeared in Ling Yuan's hand as she grabbed his Fox Tail and gave him a barbecue spa treatment.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!

Let go, hurry up and let go! You meanie!"

After breaking free of her grip, Ye Yan hugged his Fox Tail and blew on it frantically. It was scorching!

Ling Yuan looked at him irritably. She had only used a tiny bit of Soul Power. How could it possibly be that bad? At most, she had singed his fur.

"So you still remembered to come back? I thought you'd died on some other woman's belly. When you need us, it's all 'Big Sister, Big Sister,' but when you don't, you run off without a word.

You ungrateful little thing, how much did we do for you in Heaven Dou?

Fine, you're a womanizer. But now that you've met the beautiful, sweet-voiced, powerful Great Enshrined, you don't even want to keep your promise to me, do you?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Ling Yuan's index finger pecked at Ye Yan's forehead like a woodpecker, forcing him to keep backing away.

A promise?

Ye Yan grew dizzy from all the poking, but soon remembered that he had yet to pay his fare for riding the great bird across the sea. He quickly embraced Ling Yuan's voluptuous, S-curved figure and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Xu Xiaoyan was wrong to neglect your feelings, Big Sister. Tonight-let me make it up to you tonight, okay? I won't resist at all. I'll do whatever you say~"

As Ling Yuan listened to his teasing words, a sickly greed surfaced in her eyes. She had originally intended to be gentler with Ye Yan, lest she frighten him.

But he hadn't cherished her goodwill. What happened next would no longer be up to him.

After soothing Ling Yuan, Ye Yan went over to the Ice Empress. He knew why the Snow Empress was angry, but why was the Ice Empress ignoring him too?

Ye Yan crouched halfway down and carefully studied her expression. There wasn't a single opening, so he could only unleash his finishing move-acting cute ꜀(^..^꜀)꜆੭

Ye Yan nimbly slipped into her arms and buried himself against her gently rising and falling chest.

The upper portion of the Ice Empress's armor had cutouts. His hot breath landed directly on her snowy skin and spread through the gaps.

Bing'er, who had been pretending to sleep, immediately opened her eyes. Looking at the restless little fellow in her arms, she raised her hand and pinched his jaw, forcing him to meet her gaze.

"Xu Xiaoyan, you've got some nerve. You actually dared throw yourself into some other loose woman's arms right in front of Xue'er, then stayed away for half a month. What do you take her for?"

The Ice Empress was furious. Xue'er had saved her life, and saying they were as close as sisters was no exaggeration.

For that reason, she could tolerate Ye Yan's womanizing, but she would never allow him to slight the Snow Empress.

To punish Ye Yan, she tightened her grip, digging her fingertips into his skin. Crimson beads of blood trickled down the curve of her palm.

"Bing'er, be gentle. That hurts X﹏X"

Ye Yan held her wrist, suffering grievances he couldn't put into words. He didn't want to be such a womanizer either.

But Bo Saixi was different! How could he bear to leave such a gorgeous flower unplucked? Wouldn't that make him a eunuch?

"I know I've wronged Xue'er. I'll apologize properly and try to earn her forgiveness."

Hearing this, the Snow Empress spoke coolly:

"No need. I couldn't possibly accept an apology from the future Sea God. Gods stand so high above everyone else-how could they spare a glance for Soul Beasts like us?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Sensing wisps of killing intent rising from the Ice Empress, Ye Yan nearly dropped to his knees. My dear lady, please don't slander me!

"No, I really don't think that! In my heart, Soul Beasts and humans are the same (I take in whichever ones please my eyes and kill whichever ones don't). I wouldn't discriminate because of that."

As he spoke, he lifted the Ice Empress's delicate hand and pressed it against his chest, letting her feel his sincere heart.

Ye Yan truly adored powerful, innocent big sisters like these. Even if they hooked him up to a lie detector, he would still be telling the truth.

The Ice Empress curled her lips in disdain. Who knows what's going through your head?

That said, she would be a fool not to take advantage of Xu Xiaoyan when the opportunity presented itself. She raised her hand and lightly patted Ye Yan's shoulder.

Her pat left Ye Yan somewhat baffled. His cheeks flushed faintly, and he had no idea what the Ice Empress was plotting now.

Seeing the puzzled little fellow in her arms, the Ice Empress revealed a teasing smile. Sure enough, you can't detect this little trick.

I'll let you off this time. Just wait and see how I toy with you later.

"Xu Xiaoyan, you wouldn't want the Snow Empress and me to ignore you forever, would you~"

Meow?

Slumped in her arms, Ye Yan felt puzzled by that classic Japanese line. You watch The Wife Next Door too?

Still, he truly didn't want to let a gentle, understanding big sister like the Snow Empress slip away, so he could only submit to the Ice Empress's tyranny.

"Bing'er, please tell me what I should do."

Not only he, but even the Snow Empress beside them secretly pricked up her ears. What wicked idea is Bing'er cooking up now?

"Xu Xiaoyan, I'll let you in on a little secret. Xue'er cares a lot about her nails. If you're willing to set aside your dignity and tend to them for her once, perhaps~"

Bad Bing'er! What a rotten idea!

A blush floated across the Snow Empress's face. How could Xu Xiaoyan possibly agree to something so humiliating?

The two women were simply suffering the disadvantage of never having transmigrated. With jade feet like the Snow Empress's, forget an apology-Ye Yan would even be willing to spend Immortal Herbs... er, Gold Soul Coins to buy the chance.

Besides, he was the illustrious Wah Junior. This was a reward, plain and simple.

Ye Yan made up his mind. In a few days, he would go into town and get a set of nail-care tools. He had to make her look absolutely beautiful.

"Okay~

Thanks, Bing'er. I'll give it a try later."

He planted a kiss at the corner of the Ice Empress's mouth. This time, he didn't dare get carried away, lest she bite him again.

"Bing'er, Xue'er, my First Trial is to pass through the Double Sea God's Light and reach the three hundred and thirty-third step. I'm going to give it a try."

After saying goodbye to them, Ye Yan slowly approached the stairs. As a noble transmigrator, he naturally wouldn't charge straight up only to be sent flying back.

The first few steps were a mere splash of water to Ye Yan as he was now. He easily climbed forty steps in succession.

But when he stepped toward the forty-first, the sudden increase in pressure made him stagger. He thought, Looks like my body alone can only get me to around the forty-fifth step at most.

Still, he wasn't someone who insisted on swallowing hardship when he didn't have to. He summoned his Martial Soul, the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, to shield him from the front, and the surging pressure immediately diminished considerably.

With the enormous Soul Power reserves provided by the Blue Silver Emperor's Fourth Soul Skill, Azure Soul Return to the Void, Ye Yan struggled up to the sixty-fourth step. On the stairs behind him lay small puddles formed from his sweat.

But even with the Purple Spirit Sun tripling his recovery speed, his Soul Power was stretched thin. Less than a fifth remained.
