Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Under Guo Yurong’s lead, Dongfang Youdi eagerly trotted behind. As for what was on his mind, no one could say.

Nanbei and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc also took the hint and left, taking with them Xiaoxiao, who was extremely reluctant to part from Ye Wushuang.

”My Lady!”

At that moment, Ye Wushuang also walked into the pavilion.

Lady Xiangg poured a cup of wine and handed it to the approaching Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang gave a wry smile. He accepted the wine cup but didn’t drink from it, saying instead, ”My Lady, my disruption of the martial contest for your hand was a last resort. I hope you can forgive me.”

”Young Master, since you are the final victor, you will be my husband. How could I possibly blame you?”

Lady Xiangg offered a faint smile.

”Although I am the final victor, I cannot marry you, My Lady.” Ye Wushuang paused before speaking awkwardly, well aware that this would offend Lady Xiangg.

”Why? Am I not beautiful enough?”

Lady Xiangg’s expression stiffened slightly, clearly showing some displeasure.

Ye Wushuang felt her displeasure, but there was nothing he could do. His top priority was completing the mission the Great Emperor had given him.

’Then, I have to return to the Endless Wilderness to activate the War Fortress, sweep across the world, and challenge the heavens themselves. How can I think of anything else?’

He looked at Lady Xiangg and said, ”That’s not it. You are very beautiful, My Lady. It’s just that I didn’t come here for romantic entanglements. If I were to marry you, I’m afraid...”

Ye Wushuang began to explain, but before he could finish, Lady Xiangg started to laugh.

”Young Master Ye, you keep insisting you are not here for romance, but didn’t you come to the Celestial Pass precisely to marry the Princess? Is that not a matter of the heart?”

Lady Xiangg put down the wine flagon, raised her head to stare at Ye Wushuang, and questioned him.

Ye Wushuang was stunned, momentarily unable to refute the woman before him.

’A large part of the reason I came to the Celestial Pass was for Dii Qingxue.’

’Dii Qingxue is my woman. How could I possibly let her marry someone else?!’

”My Lady, to be perfectly honest, I already have several women. If you were to follow me, you would surely be wronged.”

With no other choice, Ye Wushuang brought up his other women, hoping Lady Xiangg would recognize the difficulty and retreat.

However, Ye Wushuang had underestimated Lady Xiangg.

Upon hearing his words, a bewitching and seductive smile reappeared on Lady Xiangg’s face.

”I don’t mind. If you inherit the title of Young Emperor in the future, you certainly won’t have just one consort. And since you already have a few women, surely you can take one more?”

Lady Xiangg’s voice suddenly grew soft and gentle.

At the same time, her exquisitely mature figure drew closer to Ye Wushuang, bringing with it a faint, alluring fragrance.

Instantly, the Dragon Blood in Ye Wushuang’s veins seemed to ignite, and it began to boil.

”Furthermore...”

Lady Xiangg moved flush against Ye Wushuang, her soft body pressing into his.

Her bewitching face drew close to his ear as she whispered, ”I know how to please my Young Master far better than other women. I will make you fall in love with me!”

BOOM!

In that instant, Ye Wushuang felt the blood in his veins completely ignite, and a fiery heat surged to the heavens!

At this very moment, Lady Xiangg was no longer merely alluring; she was actively seducing him!

Blatantly seducing Ye Wushuang!

’I can feel the warmth of her red lips... A temptress, a seductive siren! Is this really the same legendary woman who inspires awe throughout the Celestial Pass?’

Ye Wushuang did his utmost to suppress the desire in his heart, but his boiling Dragon Blood was uncontrollable, thrumming and surging violently.

”My Lady, you’d best not play with fire, or else...”

Ye Wushuang’s face was grim. He struggled to control his emotions as he shot Lady Xiangg a warning glare.

”Or else what, my husband? Do you want to take me?”

Lady Xiangg replied softly.

She looked up at Ye Wushuang with a light laugh, her gaze utterly intoxicating. An ordinary man would have succumbed long ago.

Ye Wushuang turned away, refusing to look at the woman.

If she were an ordinary woman, he could have sealed her powers directly.

But Lady Xiangg was a true expert, a Nirvana Great Power at the very least. With his current strength, it would be difficult to seal her.

’This woman is so troublesome!’

Ye Wushuang thought to himself that he would rather face a mighty Nirvana Powerhouse than this woman. She was pure temptation!

He was genuinely worried that if he stayed any longer, something would happen. After all, it was Dragon Blood that flowed through his veins!

Without further hesitation, Ye Wushuang strode away, heading in the direction Xiaoxiao and the others had gone.

’An interesting man. If people knew that the God of Slaughter could also be put on the defensive, I wonder how surprised they would be?’

’Still, to be able to resist my temptations... this man is truly extraordinary.’

’I’m tired. Perhaps having a man like him wouldn’t be so bad!’

Seeing Ye Wushuang turn and leave, the seductive charm in Lady Xiangg’s eyes receded. She smiled faintly and murmured to herself again.

Then, as if she had made a decision, she shouted, ”Husband! From now on, not only am I yours, but the entire Celestial Pass is yours as well! Do as you please! I will support you in everything!”

The sudden shout was incredibly loud, as if she feared no one would hear, and it echoed throughout King Xiangg’s Mansion.

Hearing this, even Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but flush, muttering under his breath, ”Temptress!”

”A temptress, am I?”

Behind him, Lady Xiangg’s face bloomed into a radiant smile. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had last smiled like that.

「In the following days」

Ye Wushuang learned that the Dragon King, Dongfang Wudi, Mo Wentian, and other Celestial Prides had each established a foothold in the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities.

They began winning over the garrisons of their respective cities, cultivating their own power and expanding beyond the city walls. With Nirvana Powerhouses overseeing their operations, many had already extended their reach for thousands of miles.

Meanwhile, the armies of the Beastman Empire launched continuous attacks.

However, there were no major clashes.

Of course, the Dragon King and the other Celestial Prides weren’t greedy for quick gains; instead, they focused on consolidating their newly expanded territories.

As for Ye Wushuang, he had already contacted the members of Lingxiao Pavilion, including the Shadow Demon King, Elder Demon Bai, Old Monster Baili, and Xiang Zong’en.

In addition, the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop and the Blood Feather Tower had also arrived in King Xiangg City.

Furthermore, Lady Xiangg made a stunning move: she handed over military command of the Celestial Pass to him, granting him the authority to deploy its armies.

Of course, with most of the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities already occupied by other factions, the forces he could actually mobilize were few, aside from the Celestial Wolf Army in King Xiangg City.

’The other Celestial Prides are all starting to build their strength, so I have to get moving too. This is an excellent chance to gain experience. The battlefield is the ultimate forge for tempering a person. It’s time for the people of Lingxiao Pavilion to be properly tested.’

’Lingxiao Pavilion contains my true confidants. Followers I’ve personally nurtured will be far more loyal than any army I simply take command of.’

’However, training them will require significant financial and material resources. While I have some assets from the Zong Family, it’s a drop in the bucket!’

’Looks like I’ll have to pay a visit to the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop!’

Ye Wushuang glanced at the night sky, then vanished into the void.

Not long after, Ye Wushuang’s figure materialized at the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop in King Xiangg City.

This was a branch of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop, established in King Xiangg City ahead of time by Mengyun Wulei.

It was night, and the main doors to the Celestial Workshop should have been closed. But, as if sensing Ye Wushuang’s approach, they suddenly swung open.

Ye Wushuang walked inside. Mengyun Wulei was sitting alone in the room.

”You knew I was coming?”

Surprised, Ye Wushuang walked over.

”Everyone else has already taken action. I thought you were still lost in a blissful paradise of romance,” Mengyun Wulei said tartly, her tone clearly jealous.

But Ye Wushuang didn’t feel the slightest bit of displeasure. He knew this woman had done so much for him.

He immediately stepped forward and embraced Mengyun Wulei.

”Bastard!”

Mengyun Wulei shot to her feet, shoved Ye Wushuang down, and pinned him with her soft body, raining light punches on him.

However, the fire Ye Wushuang had been suppressing suddenly flared.

The flames Lady Xiangg had kindled in him now roared to life. He flipped them over, pressing down on top of her...
