["Then let's wait. I'll take a good look tonight..."
Ye Xiao pursed his lips and chose his words carefully.
If the Snow Empress had said that, he could have concluded outright that she was interested in him.
But with the silly Ice Empress, he really couldn't figure out what she meant.
"Then decide for yourself..."
"I don't understand your sword Qi conversion anyway..."
The Ice Empress turned her head away, but her little heart was pounding wildly.
"Very well. My body needs some adjustments too."
The Snow Empress sighed softly, her limpid autumn eyes gazing at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's heart stirred, and he met her gaze.
Faced with those beautiful, cool, fathomless eyes, Ye Xiao's heart sped up for a moment despite himself.
"Uh... Snow Empress, I already promised the Ice Empress first. How about you wait until tomorrow night?"
Ye Xiao's eyes wandered as he asked tentatively.
"It's only an observation of the body. It shouldn't be very difficult for you. We can do it together."
The Snow Empress pressed her lips together and tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear.
"...All right!"
Ye Xiao gave her a thumbs-up. He was thoroughly bewildered.
By rights, the Snow Empress should have understood that when he talked about observing their bodies before, he'd been teasing them...
So if she agreed, that meant she had feelings for him too, and had accepted his invitation to sleep together.
But no matter how much she liked him, surely she wouldn't want to do it with the Ice Empress too?!
"No! Absolutely not!"
The Ice Empress's eyes widened, and she shielded the Snow Empress behind her like a chick protecting a mother hen.
The Snow Empress was too innocent. She hadn't realized at all that Ye Xiao was hiding wicked intentions!
She would protect her beloved Snow Empress!
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Let's talk about this tonight, all right?"
"First, let's discuss our arrangements for Mingdu."
Ye Xiao hurriedly cut the Ice Empress off.
Bad news: he hadn't figured out what the Snow Empress meant.
Good news: he had a rough idea what the Ice Empress meant!
But... when did the Ice Empress start having feelings for me? Isn't she a lesbian?
Ye Xiao's expression grew peculiar.
"Hmph, let me tell you, Ye Xiao!"
"There's no way the Snow Empress would agree to your request to observe her body!"
"Don't think this empress doesn't know what you mean!"
The Ice Empress raised her little face proudly. As she saw it, Ye Xiao had changed the subject because she'd clearly defeated him!
The great Ice Empress had protected her beloved Snow Empress once again!
"Ah, yes, yes, yes~"
"I have bad intentions. I'm plotting something improper~"
"So then, great Ice Empress, why did you agree to the conditions of someone like me, who's plotting something improper?"
Ye Xiao looked at the Ice Empress in amusement, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
The Ice Empress's smile froze on her face.
"Never mind, never mind. Let's talk about this tonight. First, let's discuss how to deal with Mingdu!"
The Ice Empress replied with a perfectly serious expression.]
"Sigh~"
The Snow Empress raised a hand to her forehead. All she could say was that the Ice Empress on the sky screen matched her stereotype of the Ice Empress.
But...
The Snow Empress pondered her own attitude on the sky screen.
"Hehe~"
"Little Ye, tonight, your big sister will also have a talk with you about observing bodies~"
Ye Guyi sneered and gripped Ye Xiao's shoulder, her tone growing a few degrees colder.
She had clearly already gotten together with Ye Xiao on the sky screen.
But Ye Xiao actually dared to flirt with other women!
Wasn't this a kind of cheating right in front of his wife for the present Ye Guyi?!
"I've been wronged~"
Ye Xiao pulled a long face and wrapped his arms around Ye Guyi's slender, supple waist.
Why was he the one getting beaten every time?!
All the good things fell to his future self, did they?!
"Ah~"
"I have another plan!"
In the Divine Realm, Ji Dong's eyes suddenly lit up as he watched the flirting on the sky screen!
He had thought of another way to befriend Ye Xiao!
"What is it?"
Lie Yan, who was watching with great interest, asked casually.
"Ye Xiao's character flaw on the sky screen is simply too obvious. That child is a little too fond of romance~"
Ji Dong narrowed his eyes and spoke with an implication.
"Rongrong, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect carries on your legacy in the lower realm."
"Boss Dai, your bloodline also lives on in the lower realm."
After hearing Ji Dong, Ma Hongjun spoke slowly.
Because he had lost Bai Chenxiang, a rift had formed between him and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
And after seeing Tang San use him as bait on the sky screen, he was even more disappointed in Shrek.
Even so, he still spoke up to give Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai a hint.
"What do you mean?"
Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened, and he vaguely grasped Ma Hongjun's meaning.
"If your descendants befriend him, perhaps the conflict between you can be avoided."
"After all, your conflict with him is only in the future. It hasn't happened yet."
"He's too strong. On the sky screen, he had no backing at all, yet through his own efforts alone, he gained the strength to kill Rongrong before the apocalypse arrived."
"And now, he has the Divine Realm's support..."
Ma Hongjun left it at that and said no more.
From the way Destruction had sealed the Shrek Seven Devils, it was clear that battles between gods would not be punished by the sky screen.
If that was the case, who could say whether Ye Xiao would have the ability to kill them before the Divine Realm left this universe?
"Fatty, we can't interfere with the lower realm at all. Have you forgotten?"
Oscar sighed softly.
He didn't want Ning Rongrong to meet the same end as in her previous life again either. If possible, befriending Ye Xiao wouldn't be out of the question.
But with gods forbidden from interfering with the lower realm, Ma Hongjun's suggestion simply wouldn't work!
"No..."
"We don't need to interfere with the lower realm!"
A gleam flashed in Tang San's eyes. Under the present circumstances, he already understood perfectly well that he could never be Ye Xiao's enemy.
In that case, Fatty's suggestion might just work!
"We each have our own forces in the lower realm, and the divine positions really have fallen into Ye Xiao's hands."
"As a result, in the eyes of all living beings on the Douluo Plane, the Divine Realm has taken Ye Xiao's side!"
"That being so, the forces we left behind might take the initiative to befriend Ye Xiao."
Tang San spoke thoughtfully, casting a contemplative glance at Tang Wutong.
"This whole series of butterfly effects may have originated with us bestowing the divine positions, but we truly didn't think of this at the time. Perhaps, in a way, we've found a loophole in the sky screen."
Tang San turned his fathomless eyes toward Tang Wutong, considering whether there was some way to send her down.
Tang Wutong wasn't a god, so it couldn't be considered interference with the lower realm. And as long as he didn't force or guide her, it naturally wouldn't count as interference either!
Finally, as his daughter, it wasn't impossible that Tang Wutong would take the initiative to bring Ye Xiao into her fold!
Meanwhile, in a corner of Dragon City...
"Damn the Far North!"
"For today's humiliation, I'll make you repay this blood debt in blood!"
Lin Huiqun's expression was cold and sinister. Those two beasts from the Far North really had gotten involved with Ye Xiao!
She swore she would make the Far North pay!
