"The son-in-law of I, the Emperor, has caused quite a stir in the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
Xu Jing looked at the intelligence report detailing the attack on Shrek Academy by a mysterious powerhouse from the Sun Moon Empire, the death of Yan Shaozhe, and the severe injury of the renowned top powerhouse Xuanzi... his gaze deep and profound.
Based on the intelligence, Xu Jing only needed a slight moment of thought to know who was responsible.
After all, the Sun Moon Empire truly had very few top powerhouses capable of such a feat. In the past, there was only Elder Kong, and now there was one more: Wang Chen.
Elder Kong had been in the palace's offering hall researching humanoid soul tools and had never left Mingdu. So, there was no doubt who this person was.
Xu Jing supported his brow with one hand while the other rested on the table, his fingers lightly tapping the desktop.
Thump... thump... thump...
Xu Jing was able to seize power, usurp the throne, and eliminate his own brother to become emperor—his mind was undoubtedly sharp.
He connected the intelligence in his mind, pondering the connections before and after these events.
Xu Jing thought to himself, "Wang Chen most likely left Mingdu secretly to seek some opportunity in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Then, in the process of obtaining the opportunity, he clashed with people from Shrek Academy and killed quite a few from Shrek Academy.
Then, on the way back, he was intercepted outside Mingdu by Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao."
Xu Jing quickly pieced together the general situation, guessing about seven or eight out of ten correctly. Although this was deducing backward from the known outcome, it was not something an ordinary person could do.
Xu Jing was quite dissatisfied with Wang Chen secretly leaving Mingdu to seize an opportunity in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
In Xu Jing's view, as a subject, Wang Chen should at least report to him, the emperor, after gaining the benefits of the opportunity. Otherwise, if he made all decisions on his own, what was the point of having him as emperor?
Although Wang Chen was his son-in-law, as emperor, Xu Jing had little affection even for his own sons and brothers, let alone Wang Chen, an outsider with no blood relation.
However, although Xu Jing was dissatisfied with Wang Chen's unilateral actions, now that Wang Chen had grown into a powerhouse on the same level as Elder Kong, he could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
Otherwise, sending someone to inquire about the opportunity and being refused would inevitably lead to awkwardness.
After all, he couldn't have Elder Kong lead the soul mentor团 to demand Wang Chen's opportunity. If it were an ordinary ninth-level soul mentor, that would be one thing, but Wang Chen's strength was too great; ending in mutual destruction would bring no benefit to the Sun Moon Empire.
Politics is the art of compromise, and now Wang Chen undoubtedly possessed the capital to make Xu Jing compromise.
.........
Late at night, at Ye Guyi's home.
Under Wang Chen's protection, Ye Guyi was absorbing the immortal herb.
Ye Guyi put the immortal herb into her mouth in one bite, then sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to circulate her soul power to guide the energy within into her body.
As the energy of the Holy Light Liuli Immortal Herb surged into her body, Ye Guyi's body bloomed with dazzling golden light.
The angelic phantom behind her automatically emerged, its wings spreading. Under the nourishment of the immortal herb, a second pair of wings revealed itself.
Ye Guyi's martial soul was the Angel, but not the Six-Winged Angel—only the Two-Winged Angel. Normally, when Ye Guyi's cultivation reached Soul Sage, her martial soul would evolve into the Four-Winged Angel.
Only upon breaking through to Titled Douluo would it evolve into the Six-Winged Angel. But now, with Ye Guyi's cultivation merely at Soul King, it had already become the Four-Winged Angel.
By the time she broke through to Soul Sage, her martial soul might very well evolve into the Six-Winged Angel. This meant Ye Guyi's talent was now a notch higher than before, with significant improvements in strength potential and all aspects.
Wang Chen stood to the side, watching Ye Guyi intently. He could feel her aura rapidly rising.
Her soul power was also becoming more condensed. Most astonishingly, the holy attribute within her body had become even more divine.
This process lasted a full hour. When the last wisp of golden light was absorbed by Ye Guyi, she slowly opened her eyes, her entire being radiating the holy light of an angel.
Ye Guyi probed her body and discovered with delight that her soul power had increased by a full five levels, directly from level 51 to level 56. Even her martial soul had transformed from the Two-Winged Angel to the Four-Winged Angel.
Ye Guyi excitedly threw herself into Wang Chen's arms and said, "Wang Chen, let me properly repay you."
With that, Ye Guyi looked at Wang Chen with seductive, misty eyes. Her smooth, fair skin was bare, glowing with a faint luster. She was both pure and alluring, extremely tempting.
After absorbing the immortal herb, Ye Guyi was full of vitality, the exhaustion from her intense activities with Wang Chen the previous night completely swept away.
She immediately took the initiative to kiss Wang Chen's lips, then clung to him tightly like an octopus...
Time passed in a flash, and it was the next day.
After Wang Chen conquered the crazily grateful little angel Ye Guyi the previous night.
He left a spiritual medicine for treating meridians for Ye Guyi. This spiritual medicine was naturally not for Ye Guyi, but for her aunt, Zhao Yurou.
Zhao Yurou's meridians were shattered, and this spiritual medicine could help her restore her cultivation.
Then, in the morning, Wang Chen first had breakfast with Xu Tianzhen, and then, with the attentive assistance of the clan secretary Ju Zi, spent about ten minutes handling the accumulated trivial matters of the Wang family during this period.
Ju Zi was an extremely competent secretary—quiet, unobtrusive, and very sensible.
When Wang Chen was away, she handled the major and minor affairs of the Wang family in an orderly manner.
After Wang Chen returned, he only needed to review them, then stamp the clan leader's seal and sign.
After Ju Zi assisted Wang Chen in handling the Wang family's official matters, she began to handle Wang Chen's personal affairs.
Wang Chen sat on the sofa, looking at Ju Zi kneeling on the ground, stroking her fair cheeks.
After the clouds and rain dispersed, Ju Zi attentively sat on Wang Chen's lap, then used her soul skill to create one sweet and juicy orange after another, placing the orange segments on her body to feed Wang Chen.
After eating some fruit, Wang Chen took out an immortal herb called Nine-Leaf Immortal Mushroom from his storage soul tool.
This immortal herb had no attribute and could be absorbed by anyone. Its effect was simple: greatly improving aptitude, cleansing marrow and cutting bones, expanding meridians.
Even a cultivation waste who absorbed this immortal herb could become a top genius no less than one with innate full soul power.
Wang Chen's talent was already at its peak, so this immortal herb was naturally of no use to him.
But for Ju Zi, who was excellent in other aspects but whose only shortcoming was poor cultivation talent, it was perfectly suited.
Ju Zi looked at the immortal herb, feeling that the most correct decision in her life was to follow Wang Chen.
Ju Zi said softly, "Master, such a precious immortal herb should be absorbed by you. Ju Zi's talent is mediocre; absorbing this precious immortal herb would be a waste on Ju Zi.
Wang Chen patted Ju Zi's perky buttocks and commanded strongly, "You are my, Wang Chen's, woman. It's just an immortal herb. Eat it."
Hearing Wang Chen say she was his woman, Ju Zi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted in her heart.
All along, Ju Zi had kept her position very low, treating herself as Wang Chen's tool.
Now, hearing Wang Chen's acknowledgment, her heart bloomed with joy, and her gaze toward Wang Chen was watery.
After receiving Wang Chen's command, Ju Zi did not refuse and quickly ate the immortal herb, beginning to refine the medicinal power within.
After Ju Zi finished refining the immortal herb, Wang Chen, who had stayed at the Wang family for less than half a day, stretched lazily, planning to visit the Hongchen family to see Meng'er.
Thinking of the graceful figure he hadn't seen in a long time, Wang Chen thought, "I wonder if that girl Meng'er is angry with me."
