"Since you're here, let's go take a look."
"Okay, Mister Ye."
The maid gently supported Ye Feng as they entered a quiet courtyard nestled deep within the mountains. The atmosphere was serene, and the night sky shimmered with soft starlight.
As they arrived, Ye Xinlan paused mid-song, visibly surprised. Then, a soft, satisfied smile bloomed on her face. Without missing a beat, her melody shifted—flowing into the tender and emotional rhythm of the song Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.
"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix?"
Ye Feng's heart stirred slightly.
This song choice wasn't random. Its meaning was clear. Ye Xinlan liked him. She, the eldest daughter of a noble clan, held silent affection but lacked the courage to voice it. Even now, she couldn't bring herself to formally say goodbye.
Tonight, her music spoke for her.
Even more telling was how the maid who brought him quietly excused herself, leaving the two of them alone.
When the melody came to a close, Ye Xinlan rose and approached him slowly.
"Young Master Ye... could you... not leave tonight?"
Her voice was barely audible, as delicate as a whisper carried on the wind. She kept her head lowered, shy and uncertain.
Not go back?
Ye Feng instantly guessed her intentions. He wasn't naive—he was a grown man who had experienced much. And the signs were unmistakable. The faint fragrance in the breeze was hers. It was the scent of someone freshly bathed. She had prepared for this.
"You want me to stay here?" Ye Feng asked directly.
"I, Ye Xinlan, have no way to repay the kindness Master Ye has shown to my family. Please... let me serve you tonight."
Ye Feng's brow furrowed. "Do you want to confirm your status as my woman?"
The Ye family had already been spreading rumors. That Ye Feng was their son-in-law. That Ye Xinlan was his wife.
Although he'd helped the Ye family, they had agreed not to bind or restrain him in any way. And now, she wanted to go further. Though Ye Xinlan was undeniably beautiful—flawless in both face and figure—Ye Feng couldn't help but feel manipulated. It was as if this had all been orchestrated.
"You misunderstand," Xinlan said hurriedly. "The Ye family promised not to burden you with any responsibilities. This is just my personal decision."
"What exactly do you mean?"
"I just want to offer my body to repay your kindness."
Ye Feng sighed. "That's too cruel to yourself."
"It's my own will."
"I can't give you anything. Your talent is too poor. I have no intention of keeping you by my side."
Xinlan's eyes glistened, but she remained composed.
"I understand my shortcomings. I don't expect to stay by your side forever. I only hope... to belong to you for one night. That is all I ask. I won't demand anything more."
Ye Feng's tone grew more serious. "Once you do this... how will you explain yourself to your future husband?"
"We'll worry about that later. Right now, I just want to give the most precious part of myself... to the person I hold dearest in my heart."
With that, she slipped off her outer robe, revealing a thin, translucent veil beneath that barely concealed her form. Her eyes trembled, but her resolve held firm.
"Young Master Ye, as the saying goes: a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Just stay for one night. I promise—you won't be disappointed."

Outside the secluded courtyard, the maid quietly approached Ye Zhong.
"Clan Leader, I have already brought Master Ye to the young lady's villa, as you instructed."
"Did he seem dissatisfied?"
"No, I relayed everything you and the young lady arranged. Master Ye made no objections."
"Did the young lady review the... material I asked you to show her?"
"She did. She watched it five times."
"Five times? That should be enough. It's been seven days. We've prepared for this night meticulously."
"Yes, Clan Leader. The seven days after a woman's cycle are the most fertile. Tonight, the young lady has taken a pregnancy-promoting pill. I'm confident she will conceive, just as you and the young lady hoped."
Ye Zhong nodded, his voice calm. "Let's pray she does."
To the Ye family, talent in cultivation was tied directly to bloodline. Ye Feng's prowess was extraordinary. If he fathered a child, that child would be blessed with superior blood and talent.
And more importantly, Ye Feng had dared to defy even the Danta Patriarch. With such power and potential, once he broke through to the Dou Di Realm and awakened the Doudi bloodline, that bloodline would pass to his descendants. If Ye Xinlan bore his child, the Ye family would gain a future with an Emperor's blood.
That child could raise the Ye family to become Zhongzhou's ninth great superpower.

At dawn, Ye Feng emerged from Ye Xinlan's villa. The night had been long—and exhausting.
Within the courtyard, space rippled as Ye Zhong arrived.
"Xinlan," he said softly. "Don't blame Father. Everything I did was for the good of the family."
"You worry too much, Father." Xinlan smiled faintly. "I truly love Ye Feng. What happened last night was my choice. I know I can't keep him... so I'll keep the child."

As sunlight bathed the mountains, Su Qian arrived at the Ye family with a woman beside him.
"This is Xiao Yu. She has come to greet Master Ye."
Xiao Yu bowed respectfully. "Xiao Yu greets Master Ye."
Ye Feng studied her. She was tall, modestly beautiful, but her figure—particularly her long, elegant legs—was undeniably striking. It wasn't hard to imagine why Xiao Yan had once become obsessed with her, even to the point of sneaking into the pool to take liberties.
After the chaos with the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yu had become much more restrained and composed.
"What do you think of Xiao Yan?" Ye Feng asked.
"He betrayed us. He stole the Inner Court's Heavenly Flame. I want revenge."
"Is that truly what you feel?"
"Yes... it is."
"But didn't he also touch your feet?"
"This..."
Xiao Yu hesitated, lowering her head. But Ye Feng's gaze was too sharp—she felt like he could see straight into her heart. He already knew the truth: that part of her still longed for Xiao Yan.
"Forget it," Ye Feng said. "I won't involve myself in trivial matters. You'll stay here with me. After half a year, I'll give you a chance."
He had a plan. He kept Xiao Yu by his side not for protection—but to twist a certain plotline entirely.
"These seven days of food and drink have been enough. Zi Yan, let's go."
A golden light burst forth as Zi Yan revealed her true form—an ancient Taixu Dragon.
"Master…"
Mu Qingluan's expression darkened. She looked at Ye Feng with teary, resentful eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Why do you always ride her?" she muttered internally. "The riding experience of my Qinluan clan isn't any worse than that of a Taixu Dragon. Ever since I became your mount, you've never ridden me once. Sometimes I even doubt whether I'm really your mount at all!"
Ye Feng laughed heartily. "So that's why you're jealous? Alright, alright. This time, I'll ride you on the way to the Death Soul Mountain Range!"
