Chapter 456: The Contract Is Sealed, Entering the Bridal Chamber
White Cloud City.
Qian Renxue gazed at the massive pillar of light in the distance, knowing full well that it originated from the Star Dou Forest. The fact that this phenomenon appeared so soon after Ye Cheng left made her shut her eyes in frustration.
Her heart was filled with bitterness and also a hint of anger.
But that anger wasn't directed at Ye Cheng.
It was directed at herself.
She was furious at her own hesitation, her reluctance to act. If she hadn't held back, if she had been more decisive about expressing her feelings, if she had taken the initiative, then this wouldn't be happening right now.
In the battlefield of love, hesitation equals defeat.
If you miss the best moment to strike, you can only watch as someone else takes the prize.
What a painful realization.
And now, Qian Renxue was experiencing it firsthand.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Forest.
With the contract now signed, a mysterious connection had formed between Ye Cheng and the Silver Dragon King.
From this moment on, their fates were completely intertwined if one flourished, so would the other. If one suffered, so would the other. Any growth in power on one side would benefit both.
However, this power sharing effect had a limit.
It could only function up to the Half Step Creation God level beyond that, the contract's influence would no longer apply.
Otherwise, such a contract would be too broken, violating the natural laws of the universe.
Additionally, while they were bonded, Ye Cheng's borrowed power from his unfinished personas did not count toward the contract's effects. Otherwise, the Silver Dragon King would immediately notice something strange, and Ye Cheng would risk exposing his secrets.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but admire the Silver Dragon King's beauty.
Her long silver hair cascaded down to her ankles, shimmering like liquid crystal. Her deep violet eyes held the brilliance of a starlit sky, framed by long, delicate lashes. Every movement exuded elegance, and her skin seemed to glow with an ethereal radiance.
Before he realized it, Ye Cheng found himself completely entranced.
The Silver Dragon King gently took his hand and led him into the inner chambers of her palace.
Although she was the ruler of soul beasts, she didn't live in a cave as a God King level being, she naturally had a palace befitting her status.
The palace was fully furnished, rivaling even the grandest human imperial palaces. Clearly, this place wasn't just for her personal rest it was also meant to host guests.
As Ye Cheng walked through the corridors, he noticed several soul beast maids in human form passing by.
When they saw the Silver Dragon King holding his hand, their eyes widened in shock but none of them dared to say a word.
Step by step, she led Ye Cheng into an elegant, lavishly decorated bedroom.
Neither of them spoke.
Because there was no need to.
They both understood what this meant.
Their contract wasn't just a battle alliance for the Silver Dragon King, this was a lifelong bond, equal to marriage.
Once a soul beast contract was formed, it lasted forever.
If two men formed such a contract, they'd become brothers for life. If two women signed it, they'd be sisters for life.
But if a man and a woman formed such a bond…
It was only natural that they'd eventually become life partners.
That was why the Silver Dragon King had hesitated for so long.
It wasn't just about power compatibility it was about commitment.
Signing this contract with Ye Cheng meant acknowledging him as her eternal mate.
Now that she had made her choice, she had no regrets.
Especially after seeing the video of their future daughter, Kanna.
The desire to have such a child, combined with her natural instincts, had finally pushed her to act.
When Ye Cheng signed that contract, he had understood her intentions.
For the Silver Dragon King, this wasn't just a contract it was a wedding ceremony.
And now that their bond was sealed…
What comes after marriage?
The bridal chamber.
Soul beasts didn't follow human traditions.
They didn't need grand wedding ceremonies, nor did they invite friends and family to celebrate before consummating their union.
For them, it was simple if two beings recognized each other as mates, they'd naturally move forward.
Now that she and Ye Cheng were bonded for life, there was only one logical next step.
Especially since she had just watched a video showing their future daughter she couldn't wait to make that a reality.
Unlike human women, the Silver Dragon King wasn't shy.
She was bold and direct in her approach.
And Ye Cheng?
How could he possibly refuse?
If a man turned down a woman this stunning, this powerful, and this eager
He wasn't a man.
As the bedroom doors closed, the maids outside exchanged glances.
Then, with perfect synchronization, they all gathered at the door, pressing their ears against it.
The palace's soundproofing wasn't great.
If they listened carefully, they could hear bits and pieces of what was happening inside.
"…Humans… how do they do this…?"
"…I… I'll teach you…"
"… … …"
The words were muffled and incomplete, but the tone was very strange.
The maids were confused.
They knew that humans had a special way of mating, but they didn't understand the details.
Now they were curious.
But more than anything…
They wondered why their Queen's voice sounded so… different.
