At that moment, hearing Luo Qingshan's words, Ye Xingchen turned to look at her and actually froze for a moment, amazement shining in his eyes.
Luo Qingshan now wore a white veil over her face and a long red court dress that outlined every curve of her figure, making her look even more enchanting.
Luo Qingshan's beauty was like that of a goddess descending to the mortal world, so exquisite it defied description.
Seeing the amazement in her husband's eyes, Luo Qingshan secretly rejoiced. She gave an enchanting smile and said:
"Husband, what is it? Let's go!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words, Ye Xingchen rose, came to her side, took her hand, and said softly:
"Wife, you're truly beautiful!"
Feeling Ye Xingchen's love, Luo Qingshan smiled enchantingly and rolled her eyes at him. Taking his arm, she went downstairs with him, chatting and laughing as they prepared to stroll around the town ahead.
Everyone from the Demon Race bowed in greeting upon seeing them.
The grand elder was also leading some people in inspecting the layout of the entire Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion. Seeing Luo Qingshan and Ye Xingchen coming downstairs, he immediately bowed to them!
Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said to the grand elder:
"Grand elder, there's no need for such courtesy. The factions of Divine Desolation are extremely interested in this Emperor Supreme right now. I don't want people watching me every day."
"Pass down my command. From now on, whether in the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion or Human Race territory, there's no need to bow when you see me. Just pretend you don't know me!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Luo Qingshan smiled helplessly. She knew her husband's temperament all too well.
Upon hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the grand elder immediately bowed and said:
"I humbly obey your decree, Emperor Supreme. I'll pass down the order at once!"
Easily helping the grand elder straighten up, Ye Xingchen looked at the busy Demon Race disciples around them and casually waved his hand. Several hundred bottles of supreme-grade divine wine appeared before the grand elder.
"The next few days will be busy. Grand elder, distribute these hundred bottles of supreme-grade divine wine as rewards for the disciples!"
Looking at the hundred bottles of supreme-grade divine wine that had suddenly appeared, the surrounding Demon Race disciples all revealed burning eagerness in their eyes. They had all drunk this wine before and knew its benefits.
Thus, seeing Ye Xingchen take out supreme-grade divine wine, they all looked excited, their eyes blazing with eagerness.
Looking at the hundred bottles of supreme-grade divine wine before him, the grand elder likewise sighed inwardly. No wonder the Emperor Supreme's prestige among the Demon Race was so high, and he was even more respected than the Empress. There was good reason for it.
"Thank you, Emperor Supreme. I thank you on their behalf!"
The grand elder had barely finished speaking when all the Demon Race disciples bowed to Ye Xingchen and said:
"Mighty is the Emperor Supreme!"
"Mighty is the Emperor Supreme!"
Ye Xingchen smiled and had everyone straighten up, then took Luo Qingshan's hand and walked toward the distant town!
Luo Qingshan looked at her smiling husband, her eyes brimming with tenderness!
As everyone from the Demon Race watched Ye Xingchen slowly disappear, the worship in their eyes grew even deeper!
Along the way, Luo Qingshan and Ye Xingchen did not fly at top speed. Instead, they leisurely admired the scenery, chatting and laughing as they arrived at the bustling, prosperous trading town!
It truly deserved its reputation as the largest trading hub between the Human Race and the Demon Race. People streamed through it in a lively bustle, and it was not the filthy, chaotic jumble of fish and dragons Ye Xingchen had imagined!
Stalls stretched along both sides of the streets, their dazzling array of goods more than the eye could take in. Cries advertising spirit medicines, immortal herbs, secret treasures, immortal weapons, divine stones from beyond the heavens, treasure maps, and more rang out endlessly.
Of course, many items on these stalls were a mixture of genuine and fake, and everything depended on the buyer's eye. They were unlike the tall shops ahead, whose goods were somewhat more expensive but guaranteed to be genuine!
All along the way, Luo Qingshan and Ye Xingchen became the center of attention.
Luo Qingshan in particular, despite wearing a veil, drew countless sidelong glances with her perfect grace and the bearing of a superior that she possessed.
Many members of the Demon Race could not see Luo Qingshan's face clearly, but they were all too familiar with the transcendent bearing and familiar face of the smiling Ye Xingchen beside her.
It was actually their Emperor Supreme. Then the woman beside him, exuding peerless grace from head to toe, ought to be their Lady Empress.
Upon seeing Ye Xingchen, many members of the Demon Race were just about to bow in greeting when his gentle voice rang out in their minds.
"There's no need for courtesy, everyone. Carry on with whatever you were doing. The Empress and I had nothing to do and came for a stroll. We don't want to be disturbed!"
The Emperor Supreme's gentle voice suddenly sounding in their minds made the many members of the Demon Race stop in their tracks.
Watching the Emperor Supreme walk past them with a smile, the many members of the Demon Race exchanged glances, put away the goods on their stalls, and silently followed Ye Xingchen and Luo Qingshan, loosely guarding the pair at their center.
Seeing this, Ye Xingchen could not help turning toward Luo Qingshan, only to find her smiling faintly at him before casually waving her hand.
Upon seeing Luo Qingshan's gesture, the many members of the Demon Race guarding them seemed to understand instantly. They returned to their respective stalls and no longer followed the pair.
Then a figure appeared bearing the grand elder's orders and whispered something into the ears of those members of the Demon Race, who quickly dispersed as well.
Before long, every member of the Demon Race throughout the trading hub had received the grand elder's order.
Anyone who saw the Emperor Supreme and the Empress was to pretend not to recognize them. There was no need to bow or pay their respects.
Meanwhile, Luo Qingshan and Ye Xingchen had entered a shop called the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
The shop's exterior was decorated in a very distinctive style, instantly catching Luo Qingshan's eye. Like a little woman, she beamed as she pulled Ye Xingchen into the shop.
There were not many people inside the Heavenly Treasure Hall, but it held far more goods than the stalls outside. Its various immortal herbs, spirit pills, immortal weapons, and secret treasures were also of much higher grades than those sold at the outside stalls.
Both had transcendent bearings, and the veiled Luo Qingshan in particular instantly attracted the gazes of many young men. When they noticed that Ye Xingchen was only in the Innate Realm, a gleam instantly flashed through their eyes.
They wanted to approach and get acquainted with Luo Qingshan, but the moment they noticed the bearing of a superior she inadvertently exuded, their enthusiasm was instantly snuffed out.
Over the past few days, the major factions had arrived at the trading hub one after another. Although they had not lodged at the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion, they had settled in Human Race territory.
Disciples of major factions would occasionally visit the trading hub to enjoy themselves and buy things.
Although Luo Qingshan's bearing was otherworldly, the presence she exuded was extraordinary, and her cultivation was even impossible to discern. One glance was enough to tell she was no ordinary person.
They did not want to inadvertently offend a disciple of a major faction and end up suffering themselves. Some flowers might look beautiful, but they were not theirs to touch at will.
Suddenly, a seductive voice rang out. Upon hearing it, everyone turned toward its source.
"Young Master Leng! Zui Rao likes this hair ornament. Won't you buy it for me?"
At that moment, an extremely alluring woman in a pink gauze dress was tugging at a young man with a wicked look on his face, speaking with a coquettish expression.
The woman had a voluptuous figure and was enchanting from head to toe, especially her lips, which were so luscious they seemed about to drip, their corners slightly upturned.
She instantly drew the attention of many people in the Heavenly Treasure Hall. Young and old alike, everyone looked toward the seductive woman, their eyes burning with desire.
Looking at the coquettish, seductive woman, the young man gave a wicked smile, reached out to wrap his arm around her slender willow waist, and said:
"Since Zui Rao likes it so much, and it can win a smile from a beauty, I'll buy it and give it to you!"
After speaking, he raised his other hand and gently lifted the woman's chin, speaking with a wicked smile.
"You're awful..." Seeing the man's gesture, the woman named Zui Rao pouted coquettishly, her expression seductive.
That coquettish protest made the wickedly smiling man laugh even more brazenly!
Ye Xingchen took only one look before pulling Luo Qingshan toward a counter to the side. He had no interest whatsoever in such women. The less involvement, the better!
"Sorry, but this king has taken a fancy to this hair ornament. Go look at something else!"
Suddenly, an imposing voice rang out, making everyone turn toward its source!
