Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Nighttime.

The City Lord’s Mansion, usually quiet and desolate, was now brightly lit and bustling with activity.

In one of the courtyards, a table was laden with a feast of steaming, fragrant dishes. Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Youdi could hardly wait to start eating.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was busy bringing out more dishes.

A few servants stood nearby, utterly dumbfounded.

Who would believe that the revered Sinful City Lord, an Absolute Powerhouse of the Grand Emperor Domain, would be doing something as trivial as cooking? And he was doing it himself, not even letting them, the servants, help.

If word of this got out, no one would believe it!

”All the dishes are ready. Let’s eat.”

After serving the last dish, Ye Xuan sat down next to Ye Wushuang.

This, however, made both the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc and Nanbei incredibly nervous!

This was especially true for the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc. He was merely Ye Wushuang’s mount; what right did he have to sit here?

If not for his connection to Ye Wushuang, he likely wouldn’t even be qualified to stand off to the side.

As for Nanbei, although he was a Celestial Pride with a remarkable temperament, he was also extremely reserved in the presence of a being comparable to His Majesty, the Grand Emperor—one who was even cooking for them personally.

Of course, the only ones who weren’t reserved were Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Youdi.

Xiaoxiao had grown up in the isolated Lost Village. Unlike Cultivators who abstained from mortal food, she had eaten regular meals her whole life. Plus, thanks to her relationship with Ye Wushuang, she wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

Dongfang Youdi, however, was a different case. Much like the Dragon Cat, he was thick-skinned and feared nothing, as if he couldn’t wait to provoke the entire world.

He acted overly familiar with everyone he met!

”Dad, this is Nanbei... They’re all my friends!”

Ye Wushuang glanced at the others beside him and turned to introduce them to Ye Xuan. He knew that by personally cooking today, his father was treating this place as the Ye Family home.

Back then, he and his sister, Ye Rou, had grown up eating their father’s cooking. It was only after he left for the Ancient Spirit Sect that he no longer had the chance.

Looking at the familiar dishes, Ye Wushuang felt a deep sense of warmth and nostalgia.

Perhaps only his closest family could give him this kind of warm feeling!

”City Lord!”

”Uncle Ye!”

The others also greeted Ye Xuan as they were introduced.

Ye Xuan nodded, then looked at Nanbei and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc. ”A Wind Spirit Body and a Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline. Not bad. Your future achievements will be limitless.”

Then, Ye Xuan turned his gaze to Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Youdi, his eyes falling on the moon-shaped pendant hanging around Xiaoxiao’s neck.

”That should be the Time Pendant, I presume.”

Ye Xuan identified it.

Ye Wushuang nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled. ”Legend says that whoever obtains the Time Pendant can become the master of the Lost Clan. Why would Elder Yue let her leave with you?”

”Uncle Ye, I was the one who wanted to follow Big Brother.”

Xiaoxiao smiled, then went back to staring at the feast on the table. She had never seen so many dishes before.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes crinkled into a smile as he then looked at Dongfang Youdi.

”Hehe, Elder Ye!”

Dongfang Youdi quickly straightened his coronet and chuckled sheepishly.

”You must have the Hundred Tribulations Body, don’t you.”

Ye Xuan asked suddenly.

Instantly, Dongfang Youdi’s smile vanished, replaced by a look of utter astonishment.

Ye Wushuang was also slightly taken aback. He looked at Dongfang Youdi, surprised that this guy also had a special physique. ’But how come he doesn’t have a shred of Cultivation?’

”The Hundred Tribulations Body is a special physique comparable to the Ancient Blood Physique. It’s usually undetectable because the host’s meridians are solidified, as hard as a Divine Body, making Cultivation difficult. They must undergo one hundred minor tribulations and one hundred major tribulations to generate the Power of Hundred Tribulations, which is needed to unblock them.”

”Once unblocked, the body will achieve Nirvana, connecting directly to the Nirvana Path. The Hundred Tribulations Battle Body will possess peerless Combat Power, capable of contending with the Ancient Blood Physique.”

Ye Xuan explained slowly, shocking everyone present.

Forging the Hundred Tribulations Body allows one to directly advance to become a Nirvana Great Power!

And it was even comparable to the Ancient Blood Physique!

The Ancient Blood Physique was terrifyingly powerful, so for the Hundred Tribulations Body to be able to contend with it showed just how formidable it was—even stronger than the Mad Dragon Battle Body!

None of them had expected that the seemingly useless Dongfang Youdi would actually possess such a powerful physique.

”Dad, what are the ’hundred tribulations’?”

Ye Wushuang asked. He now understood why the Dongfang Family doted on this guy so much. It turned out his physique was just that incredible.

”The hundred tribulations are divided into minor and major ones. Minor tribulations are small disasters, like getting injured. Major tribulations, however, are life-threatening calamities, mortal perils, and the like.”

Ye Xuan explained.

Dongfang Youdi looked at Ye Wushuang with a bitter expression, as if to say, ’See? My fate is so tragic!’

A hundred minor tribulations meant getting injured a hundred times. A hundred major tribulations meant hovering on the brink of death a hundred times. This physique...

Ye Wushuang shot Dongfang Youdi a sympathetic glance.

In that instant, Dongfang Youdi felt like bursting into tears.

”Young Master Ye, now you see my tragic fate, don’t you? My life is so hard! You have to help me, or I’ll definitely kick the bucket one of these days!”

Dongfang Youdi threw himself onto Ye Wushuang’s arm, snot and tears streaming down his face, and shamelessly wiped them all over Ye Wushuang’s sleeve.

”Brother Youdi, you’re so gross!”

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao commented earnestly.

Dongfang Youdi’s mouth twitched.

He immediately let go, stared at Xiaoxiao, and said in a heartfelt, serious tone, ”Xiaoxiao, I’m just sharing a moment of friendship with your big brother. Understand?”

”I don’t!”

Xiaoxiao shook her head, still looking serious.

Dongfang Youdi’s face instantly darkened.

”Don’t worry. Stick with me, and you’ll face not just a hundred near-death experiences, but ten thousand. Your Hundred Tribulations Body will definitely awaken.”

Ye Wushuang patted Dongfang Youdi’s shoulder and spoke earnestly, but a meaningful smile played in his eyes!

Dongfang Youdi stared at Ye Wushuang’s smile, and his own mouth twitched violently. He knew exactly what Ye Wushuang’s words meant.

Ye Wushuang had offended too many people and was being hunted all over the world.

Following him, experiencing a hundred life-or-death situations would be easy.

However, that also meant he would have to face the ten thousand near-death experiences that came after.

Ten thousand times! Forget a Hundred Tribulations Body; even a Ten Thousand Tribulations Body would probably be destroyed!

For him, it was too late even for tears!

Seeing Dongfang Youdi’s expression, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc gave him a look of understanding!

”Alright, let’s eat. It’s been a while since I’ve cooked, so I’m a bit out of practice. Tell me how it tastes.”

Seeing Xiaoxiao staring at the food for so long, Ye Xuan chuckled and called out.

”Yay!”

Xiaoxiao nodded and immediately started eating!

At this, Dongfang Youdi snapped back to his senses. He looked at Xiaoxiao and said, ”Xiaoxiao, eat a little slower. Don’t stuff yourself.”

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao paused and turned to look at Dongfang Youdi.

At that moment, she saw that Dongfang Youdi had already picked up his own chopsticks and was eating even faster than her, devouring the food like a whirlwind sweeping through clouds.

This made the others’ faces darken. That guy was just too shameless. But then, they all broke into laughter!

”Xiaoxiao, eating meat will make you fat. Leave some for your big brother, okay?”

”Xiaoxiao, eat more vegetables!”

”Xiaoxiao...”
