Chapter 455: Signing the Contract, Power Surge
After deciding to sign a contract with Ye Cheng, the Silver Dragon King wasted no time. She swiftly used a communication device to send a message to White Cloud City, inviting him to Star Dou Forest for an important discussion.
Meanwhile, in White Cloud City, Ye Cheng was playing with his daughter Klee when he received the message. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He had no idea what the Silver Dragon King suddenly wanted to discuss. Of course, if he wanted to, he could use various means to find out everything in advance. But life would be boring if there were no mysteries left.
When everything becomes predictable, when there are no surprises, existence itself loses its excitement.
It was like marrying someone at first, everything is fresh and exciting, but after ten years, when you've memorized every inch of your partner's body, when everything has become routine, the passion fades.
Mystery and anticipation are what make life interesting.
So, even though Ye Cheng had the power to know everything, and even possessed the Abyss Sovereign persona, which granted him near omniscience, he chose not to use it too often.
Letting things remain unpredictable was what kept life enjoyable.
After receiving the Silver Dragon King's message, Ye Cheng quickly decided to go. After all, she wouldn't randomly send a message for no reason especially one marked as "urgent."
As he was preparing to leave, Qian Renxue, who had been enjoying a rare peaceful moment with their little family, noticed his serious expression. Curious, she asked, "Who sent the message? Is something important happening?"
If it was a serious matter, she wouldn't mind him leaving. Family time could always be rescheduled, but delaying important business could have serious consequences.
"It's from the Silver Dragon King. She invited me over, saying there's something urgent to discuss," Ye Cheng answered honestly.
However, the moment she heard it was from the Silver Dragon King, a glint of caution flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
She remembered the video all too well.
That video had clearly shown that in the future, her man would have a daughter with the Silver Dragon King.
And now, barely any time had passed since the video was revealed, and that woman was already inviting him over?
She could already guess her intentions.
As a woman, she knew exactly what was going on.
The Silver Dragon King was making her move.
Back when Qian Renxue had first discovered Klee's existence, she had experienced similar thoughts.
Now, she could see right through the Silver Dragon King's plans she had set her sights on Ye Cheng and was finally taking action.
But what could she do to stop it?
What position did she have to object?
As his lover?
As his wife?
As the mother of his child?
Even though their relationship had already reached a stage indistinguishable from husband and wife, and even though Klee was the bond between them, they had never formally confirmed their relationship.
After all, as a woman, she wanted to maintain some dignity she couldn't just throw herself at him.
But now she regretted it.
She regretted not making things official earlier.
If she had, she wouldn't have to watch helplessly as another woman stole her man.
Right now, she felt like a betrayed wife, watching her husband cheat right in front of her, yet unable to do anything about it.
For someone as proud as Qian Renxue, this was absolute torture.
Even in ancient times, where women were forced to accept polygamy, none of them actually wanted to share their husbands.
Watching Ye Cheng walk away, Qian Renxue felt conflicted.
She knew that with his status, having multiple wives was inevitable.
Even his mansion already had five identical maidservants, clearly waiting to be claimed.
But still
No woman wants to share her man.
It was in her nature to want him all to herself.
But while Qian Renxue was struggling with her emotions, Ye Cheng had already teleported to the Star Dou Forest's core area, where the Silver Dragon King had been waiting for him.
Now that her strength had fully recovered, she looked radiant her skin was flawless, her complexion glowing. She exuded an irresistible aura that even Ye Cheng, despite being accustomed to seeing countless beauties, found stunning.
He was a bit surprised
Why did she look so much more attractive today?
She didn't even put on makeup.
What Ye Cheng didn't realize was that this was a biological phenomenon a result of a unique feminine pheromone.
When a female enters a certain state, her body naturally emits an alluring aura to attract the opposite sex.
And the Silver Dragon King was no exception.
It wasn't that she actually looked more beautiful today it was Ye Cheng's perception that had changed.
His instincts had applied a natural "beauty filter" to her.
"You came."
When she saw him arrive, the Silver Dragon King smiled a smile that was unexpectedly enchanting.
Even her gaze carried an electric intensity, making Ye Cheng feel strangely lightheaded.
"…I came."
For some reason, Ye Cheng suddenly felt his throat go dry.
His instincts told him
Something was about to happen.
Then, the Silver Dragon King took his hand and told him everything.
She explained her desire to form a contract with him.
And, though she didn't say it outright, she implied something else as well
She wanted a daughter like Kanna.
Faced with such direct words, how could Ye Cheng possibly resist?
Of course, he agreed immediately.
Without further delay, they began the ritual to sign their contract.
As it progressed, the entire Star Dou Forest trembled under the power that surged forth.
A pillar of light shot into the sky, stretching from the ground to the heavens, capturing the attention of every being across the continent.
Many people who saw it began speculating
"Did someone break through to godhood?"
"Or did they just reach a new level, becoming a First Class God?"
"Or… a God King?"
The pillar of light lasted for half a day before gradually fading.
In the Star Dou Forest, the newly contracted pair finally opened their eyes.
Their gazes softened as they looked at each other.
This time, only Ye Cheng had gained benefits.
His power skyrocketed he skipped multiple levels, reaching the realm of a Half Step God King!
As for the Silver Dragon King, her power regressed to the same Half Step God King level.
But this was only temporary.
Because Ye Cheng wasn't going to stop here.
Now, with his Creation God bloodline, it was only a matter of time before he fully broke through to God King level.
And when that happened
He would be the one to elevate the Silver Dragon King.
