That night, Yang Yuan once again witnessed Gu Yuena's miraculous Physique.
One word: Lush!
It's just that her personality is a bit too cold and aloof!
Of course, she also has her merits, which is that no matter how Yang Yuan handled her, she would let him have his way.
Until the latter half of the night.
Gu Yuena suddenly assumed a strange posture.
Looking at her like this, Yang Yuan almost felt another impulse and joked, "If you just want a child, why go through all this trouble? A few more times will do."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena quickly shook her head, "Not today. Next time."
This was the first time Yang Yuan had seen such a flustered expression on her face, and he couldn't help but feel a bit more interested.
It seemed that Gu Yuena's heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
The following days, for several days!
Yang Yuan, fond of playing the teacher, personally guided her and finally melted the iceberg that was Gu Yuena. Her expressions became more varied, and the way she looked at Yang Yuan became as tender as fire, burning like a blazing flame.
On the other hand, Yang Yuan found some time and prepared to start treating the injuries on Gu Yuena's body.
"You... you can heal the injuries on my body right now?"
Upon hearing this news, even Gu Yuena felt a pleasant surprise, her face filled with anticipation.
Yang Yuan smiled faintly and pulled her into his arms. "A man can't say he can't. If it were the first time we met, it might have been a bit troublesome for me, but now..."
Yang Yuan chuckled, and a white light suddenly billowed in his left eye. A dense Life Force Power instantly filled the entire bedroom.
As his voice fell, the white light in his eyes shot out, enveloping Gu Yuena's body.
Gu Yuena's whole body shuddered.
While enveloped in the white light, she felt an indescribable sensation.
She clearly felt the injuries within her body, which were like stubborn rocks, healing at a rapid pace.
The white light, carrying incredible vitality, seeped through every inch of her skin, flowed along her Meridians, and finally gathered at her brow.
This was the most severely injured part of her body, where the residual divine force of the Asura God remained, constantly eroding her body and suppressing the recovery of her wounds.
But now, under the shroud of that white vitality, the mass of Asura God's divine force was like snow under a scorching sun, melting away visibly to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, Gu Yuena felt a lightness throughout her body.
Sensing the condition inside her body, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Gu Yuena's face.
After countless ages, was she finally about to fully recover?
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
The white light enveloping Gu Yuena slowly dissipated. She felt her fully healed injuries, her face still wearing a look of disbelief.
The injuries that had plagued her for countless ages had been so easily resolved by Yang Yuan?
Yang Yuan looked at her expression, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly as he smiled. "In terms of raw power, I'm at most fifty-fifty with a First-Rank Deity. Without using my trump cards, I'd likely be suppressed. But as for my healing ability, few First-level Gods can compare."
"Yang Yuan..."
Gu Yuena slightly raised her face, her purple eyes meeting Yang Yuan's gaze.
Yang Yuan could feel her body trembling slightly.
Perhaps it was because the injuries that had plagued her for countless ages were healed all at once, and she hadn't yet composed herself.
But her gratitude and love for Yang Yuan at this moment needed no words.
Gu Yuena took the initiative to embrace Yang Yuan, actually pushing him down to the ground and straddling him.
What followed happened naturally.
This was Gu Yuena's most passionate time.
After recovering, Gu Yuena had the body of a genuine First-level God. In her feverish state, even Yang Yuan almost couldn't hold his own.
Another month or so passed.
The Heaven Dou army returned in triumph. With the Heaven Dou army pressing down on the entire Star Luo territory, combined with Yang Yuan's nuclear-level deterrence, resistance was gradually abandoned.
In just a few months, the entire Star Luo Empire was completely occupied by Heaven Dou.
However, for the Heaven Dou system to be implemented throughout the former Star Luo Empire, it would take some time, and many heads would roll, with blood flowing in rivers.
Qi Tian Royal Residence, Waterside Pavilion.
Qian Renxue shed her disguise in front of Yang Yuan. Looking at Gu Yuena sitting nearby, her brows twitched slightly.
She had heard Yang Yuan mention Gu Yuena and knew that the woman before her was the Co-lord of Spirit Beasts, whose strength was unfathomable.
However, with just one look at Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue immediately noticed something was off.
The way she looked at Yang Yuan wasn't right!
It was different from how she used to look at Yang Yuan.
No, in the past, Gu Yuena wouldn't look at Yang Yuan in this kind of situation. Even if she did, it wouldn't be with such a tender, affectionate expression.
This discovery immediately made Qian Renxue realize what had happened.
During the time she was away, her "home" had been raided by Gu Yuena!
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but look at Yang Yuan with a resentful gaze.
Having disguised herself as Xue Qinghe for so many years, she was long accustomed to the nobility having multiple wives and concubines, so her level of acceptance was relatively high.
Furthermore, Yang Yuan's previous relationships with Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong were also ambiguous.
Therefore, Qian Renxue had already prepared herself.
But when the moment actually arrived, she found that she still had a hard time accepting it.
Mainly because Gu Yuena was different from other women.
For people like the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, Qian Renxue wouldn't actually care even if Yang Yuan slept with both of them.
Because in Qian Renxue's eyes, the two of them posed no threat to her at all.
But Gu Yuena was different.
Even Qian Renxue felt a hint of inferiority regarding her appearance, and she couldn't match her in strength either.
It was precisely because of this comparison that Qian Renxue's reaction was so strong.
Sister Xue'er, you're finally back.
Yang Yuan saw Qian Renxue's resentful expression and could only cough lightly, pretending not to notice.
There was no helping it; both were dear to him. He couldn't neglect Gu Yuena for the sake of Qian Renxue.
After all, it was just Gu Yuena for now. Later, there would be Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling.
If Qian Renxue didn't get used to it now, by then, the whole household would likely know no peace.
Looking at him like this, Qian Renxue could only huff, then spoke of serious matters: "Xiao Yuan, now that the entire Star Luo territory has become Heaven Dou's land, the continent is unified, but..."
Seeing Qian Renxue's strange expression, Yang Yuan asked, "But what?"
Qian Renxue's mouth twitched slightly. "I have held the throne for many years, but I still have no heirs. Some ministers have already begun to advise me to appoint an empress and concubines as soon as possible."
"So it's because of that?" Yang Yuan understood, then continued to ask, "Then how do you think this should be handled?"
Qian Renxue gave Yang Yuan a reproachful look. "What else can be done? Naturally, we wait until we have a child, and then have them inherit the Heaven Dou nation."
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "But in that case, wouldn't our child have to take the surname Xue?"
Clearly, Yang Yuan did not agree with Qian Renxue's method.
Qian Renxue also didn't want her future child to have the surname Xue, so she followed up, "Alternatively, I could find another child from Spirit Hall and publicly declare them as my own."
Yang Yuan said, "There's no need for such trouble. Don't you still have a sister? After you and I become gods, you can just abdicate the throne to her."
"I have a feeling that in three to five years at most, we will achieve God Positions. By then, mortal power will be nothing to us."
With Yang Yuan's perspective, he naturally didn't care for the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue frowned. "Sister? You mean Xue Ke?"
Yang Yuan nodded.
Because of his relationship with Qian Renxue, he had met Xue Ke several times.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's brow furrowed.
"I don't care about the throne, but I spent over ten years of hard work undercover to usurp it. If I were to just give it back like this, wouldn't those dozen or so years become a joke?"
Although Qian Renxue had a good relationship with Xue Ke, she was still unwilling to hand over the throne.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan's face immediately showed an apologetic look: "Sister Xue'er, it was my oversight. Then let's go with the method you mentioned before."
Seeing Yang Yuan's attitude, Qian Renxue immediately beamed and leaned against his chest.
...
Another month passed, and "Emperor Qinghe" appointed an empress.
To everyone's shock, the empress he appointed was actually the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena.
Everyone was speculating whether Spirit Hall feared the might of the Heaven Dou Empire, or rather, the might of King Qitian, and was thus willing to let their own Holy Maiden enter the palace to become the empress.
One must know that a Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall marrying into the imperial court was something that had never happened in history.
In the second month after Hu Liena entered the palace, news of the empress's pregnancy spread from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou City.
A low-profile yet luxurious carriage slowly came to a halt. The curtain was lifted, and five slender women, each with her own unique charm, jumped down one after another.
Whew~
Ning Rongrong spread her arms and took a deep breath, a bright smile blossoming on her face as she let out a long-awaited cheer: "Finally back in Heaven Dou City!"
The sunlight fell on her delicate face, coating it with a faint layer of gold.
Several years had passed, and Ning Rongrong had grown even more beautiful. Every frown and smile possessed both a young girl's agility and a touch of maturity.
Dugu Yan stood by her side, her face—a blend of heroism and charm—quietly facing the familiar scenery in the distance, her expression also full of excitement.
Besides the two of them, there were also Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, and Ah Yin.
The expressions on their faces were much the same: excitement, longing, anticipation—various emotions intertwined.
The streets of Heaven Dou City were wider and cleaner than before, clearly having been renovated.
The faces of the passing pedestrians showed composure and stability. Shops lined the streets, making it even more prosperous than before.
"I feel like the changes in Heaven Dou City are really big." Xiao Wu looked around, lively and active, especially when she saw some bustling places; she couldn't help but lean in.
Having stayed on Sea God Island for several years of bitter cultivation, she had long been bored to death.
Among the five, her Black Grade Five Trials were actually already completed, but because of the other four, she had remained on Sea God Island.
This time, it was because Ah Yin had completed the Sea God Seven Trials that they returned to the continent to relax.
Xiao Wu's words made the other four women nod one after another, deeply moved.
On the way back, they had heard much news.
The most explosive news to them was undoubtedly the destruction of the Star Luo Empire.
Who could have imagined that in just a few months, the Star Luo Empire would completely become history.
The Clear Sky Sect was even struck from the world. Including Sect MasterTang Xiao, five Titled Douluo were stared to death by Yang Yuan with a single glance.
How things have changed!
"Sister Dugu, Lingling, do you plan to go home first, or go somewhere else?" Ning Rongrong asked.
She didn't ask Ah Yin or Xiao Wu; besides going back to Yang Yuan, they likely had nowhere else to go.
Oh, they could also return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan gazed toward a certain direction, endless longing welling up in her eyes, then she couldn't help but start laughing.
"To Prince Qi's Mansion, of course."
Ye Lingling smiled quietly and joked, "Sister Yanzi, if Senior Dugu knew that you didn't go to see him first after coming back, he might be very sad."
The corners of Dugu Yan's mouth curled up. "If I don't say it and you don't say it, how would he know?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
"That makes sense. Then I'm also going to Brother Xiao Yuan's place."
After speaking, the two looked at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling's cheeks flushed slightly.
"If you're all going, wouldn't I be out of place if I didn't go?"
Beside them, Ah Yin chuckled softly at the scene.
Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly and muttered under her breath, "Does the Boss really have that much charm?"
Ning Rongrong giggled. "Then let's go and give Brother Xiao Yuan a surprise."
...
Dugu Yan and the other four soon arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion.
Compared to several years ago, Prince Qi's Mansion hadn't changed much.
The guards at the gate saw Dugu Yan and the others, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes. They immediately bowed respectfully and let them in.
After all, other than appearing more mature, the five of them hadn't changed much.
After entering Prince Qi's Mansion, they had only walked a few steps when they saw a maid dressed in a white gown embroidered with plum blossoms.
Seeing her, Ning Rongrong waved happily.
"Dongxue!"
Dongxue was one of the twelve maids Ning Fengzhi had given to Yang Yuan back then, and she was also Ning Rongrong's childhood playmate.
Seeing Ning Rongrong, Dongxue immediately went to meet her.
She smiled. "I didn't expect to actually wait for you all."
Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Are you standing here specifically to wait for us?"
Dongxue smiled slightly. "Yes, the Master told me to come here and wait half an hour ago, saying you'd arrive shortly and asking me to receive you."
"Ah!!"
"How did Brother Xiao Yuan know we were coming back today?"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
The other four women also showed looks of confusion; they had only just entered Heaven Dou City half an hour ago.
How did he know they had arrived?
Dongxue smiled. "That's not all. Knowing you were returning today, the Master has long since prepared a welcome banquet."
The girls listened.
"How is it so mysterious?"
"Could Little Brother Xiao Yuan actually have the ability to foresee the future?"
A strange light appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes.
Dongxue said admiringly, "Perhaps. The Master is omnipotent. You might not know, but this welcome banquet has been in preparation since early this morning, just waiting for your arrival."
After speaking, Dongxue led the way for the women, heading inside.
Soon, they stopped before a closed crimson door.
Dongxue pushed the door open.
The five of them instinctively stepped inside.
Then, they all froze.
The hall was spacious and elegantly furnished.
In the center, a huge round table was covered with exquisite delicacies, steaming hot and fragrant.
And around the table sat several people they knew all too well.
Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Ye Qingyu...
Yang Yuan sat in the very center, and upon seeing the women enter, he smiled slightly.
"Welcome back!"
