Wushuang, the Dragon Maiden Whose Beauty Outshone the Four Seas

He had not expected the woman kneeling beside him to say such a thing.

Had she settled into her role so quickly?

Ye Xuan turned his head slightly and looked at the woman beside him.

He found that she had revealed a smile at just the right moment.

Even the slight curve of her upturned lips was perfect.

Ye Xuan's gaze seemed to stick to her face, and he found himself unable to look away.

Grace lay hidden in the corners of her brows and eyes; gentleness showed in her voice and smile.

Her beauty outshone the four seas, and that was no exaggeration!

The sight of her radiant smile lingered in his heart, impossible to erase.

At that moment, something seemed to dawn on him.

Was this what it felt like for a king to forsake his morning court?

Faint wisps of fragrance drifted from her, a scent like orchid and musk that seemed capable of drawing him into it.

Ye Xuan let out a long breath. Going up against a saint was indeed no simple matter, and he truly felt somewhat tired now.

His body relaxed, and he found himself leaning against her, a little drowsy.

Without a word, she shifted her posture to make him more comfortable.

But a blush crept over her face, and even the roots of her ears seemed tinged with pink.

The great hall was still quite lively.

The many ministers toasted and teased one another, their voices rising without pause.

Sunlight streamed in from outside, and an air of prosperity and flourishing vitality gradually rose.

Even Yin Shang's national strength and fortune increased considerably at that moment.

Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea saw it all, and joy filled his heart.

It worked!!!

The Dragon Clan's future is bright!

The banquet grew livelier as it went on.

The Dragon King kept his own standing very low.

He mingled freely with the ministers.

The ministers, in turn, were somewhat flattered.

After all, he was the Dragon King who ruled the four seas.

He was an immortal of the present age.

For him to call them brothers was clearly a great honor.

They continued to toast one another.

After half a day of feasting, many were already deeply drunk.

Only then did the exceedingly excited Dragon King set off for home.

Before leaving, he bowed to Ye Xuan again and again.

Only then did he ride a cloud away, still tipsy.

He was extremely satisfied with this trip to Chaoge.

He had gained a great deal.

Not only had he won the Human Emperor's favor, but he had also gained control of the Primordial World's waters from him.

He had even witnessed the Human Emperor's peerless divine might as he stood against Yuqing Saint Yuanshi.

The matter of the Dragon Clan placing itself under the human race's protection had also been fully settled.

More importantly, he had left his daughter at the Human Emperor's side.

With his daughter in Chaoge, the Dragon Clan would have nothing to fear from now on, barring some major upheaval.

After the gathering broke up, Ye Xuan remained reclining where he was.

As he looked at the immense Nine-Bay Hall, Ye Xuan's eyes gradually grew hazy.

Before he knew it, nearly two months had passed since he transmigrated.

For those two months, he had been walking on thin ice.

On one hand, he had to restore order to Yin Shang's court.

On the other, he had to keep watch on the movements of the gods and buddhas filling the heavens.

Only now had he finally found a moment to catch his breath.

Without realizing it, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, seemingly suffering from a headache.

Just then.

Wushuang's slender, jade-like fingers reached straight for Ye Xuan's brow.

They began to dance lightly over it.

Before long, she had smoothed away his frown.

Clearly, Wushuang was also extremely well versed in the art of massage.

After her massage, even Ye Xuan felt a wave of comfort.

He could not help leaning his head back.

It came to rest against an exceptionally soft spot.

He then closed his eyes and enjoyed himself.

Wushuang's touch was exceptionally delicate, and her gentleness seemed to carry a rather gentle energy.

After several rounds of massage, Ye Xuan grew drowsy.

A long time later, Ye Xuan raised his head and shook it, then spoke calmly:

"Wushuang, Ao Guang shamelessly insisted on leaving you at my side. Do you understand what that means?"

Hearing the Human Emperor's question.

Wushuang's face turned slightly pale, and she knelt beside Ye Xuan, prostrating herself without rising.

She still had not understood what the Human Emperor meant.

Ye Xuan gave Wushuang a long look:

"Wushuang, truth be told, you do possess beauty that outshines the four seas."

"Even across the entire Primordial World, you could be called bewitching as a heavenly beauty."

"But you must remember, I have the final say in the Primordial World. Whether they are my subjects in the Primordial World or the aquatic peoples of the four seas, I am their king forever. There are times when one must learn to make a choice."

"That goes for your father as well. Do you understand?"

Wushuang's whole body trembled at those words.

What exactly did His Majesty the Human Emperor mean by this?

Was he taking this opportunity to give her a warning?

The Human Emperor was clearly demanding her absolute loyalty.

The Human Emperor wanted her to pledge her loyalty unto death.

Even if the Human Emperor and her father came into conflict one day.

The Human Emperor wanted her to choose loyalty to him.

Wushuang understood what the Human Emperor meant.

She also understood the Human Emperor's concerns.

After a long silence, Wushuang knelt on the ground and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty the Human Emperor is the sovereign of heaven and earth in this age. Whether the Primordial World or the four seas, all must submit to Your Majesty. Wushuang will remember this at all times!!!"

Her voice was somewhat low, but firm and powerful.

Ye Xuan glanced at her and nodded calmly.

"Let your nine sisters of the Dragon Clan stay with you. The ten of you will remain at my side and devote yourselves to serving me!"

"Prepare to depart. Come with me to the rear palace!!!"

The Dragon King had come to Chaoge that day.

Chaoge had held a grand banquet.

Ye Xuan had taken the opportunity to steal half a day of leisure from his busy life.

Now that the time had passed, Ye Xuan grew tense again.

After all, there were still many things waiting for him to do.

The entire Primordial World was now somewhat devastated, and its people could scarcely make a living.

How easy could it be to set Qiankun in order and restore the realm?

What was more, the gods and buddhas filling the heavens already knew that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin.

Many people had fixed their eyes on him, the Human Emperor.

He truly could not afford to slack off for even a moment.

Now, Ye Xuan was preparing to meet Su Daji!

More precisely, he was preparing to meet the Nine-Tails Demon Fox!

Ye Xuan already knew for certain that Nuwa bore him little ill will.

But why had Nuwa insisted on bringing the Nine-Tails Demon Fox to Chaoge?

Truth be told, even now, Ye Xuan was reluctant to have contact with the Nine-Tailed Fox.

After all, in the original course of the Investiture of the Gods, the Nine-Tails Demon Fox had been the key Nuwa used to throw Yin Shang into chaos and sever its national fortune.

Now, because of his transmigration, the Investiture of the Gods had diverged somewhat from its original course.

Yet Su Daji had still appeared in Chaoge.

And she had even asked of her own accord to serve the king.

That left Ye Xuan unable to guess what she was thinking.

Now he would go and see Su Daji with his own eyes, and find out just what the Nine-Tails Demon Fox had in mind.
