It had been more than twenty days since Ye Wuchen left for the west of Gale Country. However, during this time, Ye Wuchen had been unconscious for nineteen days. Returning to Celestial Dragon City felt like he had only been gone for two or three days.
He did not return to the Yeh family immediately. Instead, he appeared in the city, summoned an inconspicuous outfit from the Divine Sword Ring, and slowly walked in the direction of the Yeh family. Sometimes, it was necessary for him to hear the direction of public opinion.
As expected, most of the things they heard along the way were about him. After the Evil Emperor's identity was revealed, Tenryū Province was shaken by him, and Celestial Dragon City was also in an uproar for a long time. Although more than twenty days had passed, the uproar had not completely subsided.
"Sigh, the month is almost up. I wonder how the Gale Country is doing."
"Even if the sandstorm hasn't disappeared, what can they do to the Evil Emperor? The Gale Country has been trying to invade Celestial Dragon City for years, and the Evil Emperor is doing them a favor by helping them. Even if he doesn't succeed, or is unwilling to help them, it doesn't matter …"
…
"I heard that Ye Gongzi is getting married in a few days … In my heart … sigh, if I can marry Ye Gongzi, I really have nothing else to ask for in this life."
"Miss … It's not that I want to discourage you, but only the Flying Phoenix Empress is worthy of a celestial being like Ye Gongzi. Miss, you still …"
"But, the Hua family …"
"The Hua family's young lady's father is Hua Zhentian. Sigh, behind him is the second largest family in Celestial Dragon City, second only to the Yeh family. Moreover, when the news of Ye Family Prince's death came, the young lady of the Hua family said that she would never marry, and would only belong to Ye Gongzi … Sigh, such an infatuated woman … If I was a man, even if she was a poor girl from the countryside, I would love her for the rest of my life, not to mention her prominent family background and outstanding beauty. How could Ye Gongzi let her down? "
…
"Master, give me two catties of tofu."
"Alright … Sir, this is your tofu. Please take it, it's a total of six silver coins."
"Ahem … Ye Clan's gatekeeper, Ye Shiqi's cousin, has a close friend's brother. He's my neighbor two doors down …"
"… I don't want this silver anymore. Have a safe trip, Honored Lady. You're welcome to come again."
…
"… No wonder it was the Flying Phoenix Empress who ascended to the throne. As long as the Evil Emperor says the word, even if a bandit becomes the emperor, no one would dare to say anything …"
"Shh! "Quiet down, your words are a little disgraceful. If the people from Evil Sect or Nanhuangzong's Northern Emperor Sect hear them, you might not even know how your whole family died."
"…"
…
"Sigh, what's the use of practicing martial arts? No matter how strong I become, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the Ye Family Prince with one finger. What's the use of writing? In front of the Ye Family Prince, I don't even have the guts to write a word. Sigh … "
"Tsk … Isn't that obvious? But you can't compare yourself to the Evil Emperor. "
"Sigh. Young Master Ye was born in Heavenly Dragon City, and I was also born in Heavenly Dragon City. I should be a few years older than him. Why is the gap between us so big? Why, why … Why am I not Ye Wuchen! "
"Let me teach you a way … See that old beggar in the corner? He was in Sky Dragon City before you were born. If you compare yourself to him, you'll feel better. If you compare yourself to Ye Gongzi … You're just asking for it …"
"…"
…
"Oh heavens, oh earth … The beautiful and noble Empress is getting married … I studied hard day and night just to enter the palace and become the Empress' male concubine … Ah! Let me die … "
"Get lost … How dare you have designs on the Evil Emperor's woman. I think you're tired of living. Hurry up and stay away from me. I'll pretend that I don't know you in the future. Otherwise, when you die, I'll be dragged into it."
…
…
Along the way, Ye Wuchen deliberately concealed himself so that no one recognized him … What the people in the city were talking about made him more and more speechless. But at least he could be sure that the influence brought by revealing his identity was not inferior to his expectations.
At least, no one would dare to offend the Yeh family, and no one would dare to offend the people around him. He did not need to be as cautious and doubtful as he was three years ago with every step he took.
This feeling was really good.
But …
Before he knew it, he had already arrived at the gate of the Yeh family. The guards at the gate of the Yeh family were usually well-behaved and solemn. In the past, when Ye Wuchen came in and out, he would only look straight and say hello. But at this time, when they suddenly saw Ye Wuchen, they were all stunned. After a long time, they stammered, "Gong-gong … Young Master, you're back."
The news that Ye Wuchen was the Evil Emperor had spread for more than half a month, but after that, it was the first time they saw Ye Wuchen. Naturally, they thought of his identity as the Evil Emperor and couldn't keep calm at all …
Ye Wuchen smiled at them and nodded, then walked in. The two guards looked at his back for a long time and waited until he was far away. When they came back to their senses, they couldn't help but feel ashamed of their performance just now.
The small courtyard of the Yeh family had changed a lot since he left. Although there were still a few days before the wedding date was set, the entire Yeh family was already decorated with lanterns and colored banners. A large group of people were walking around in and out of the courtyard, and it was very colorful. Among those busy people, no one dared to be lazy at all, no matter what they did, they were careful … Because, this was preparing for the wedding of the Heavenly Dragon Empress, preparing for the wedding of the Evil Emperor, they didn't dare to make any mistakes.
And Wang Wenshu was standing in the courtyard personally commanding. Suddenly, she clearly noticed that the atmosphere had become wrong. The busy servants of the Yeh family all stopped what they were doing and looked at the direction of the gate in a daze. When she turned around, she saw Ye Wuchen walking behind her …
"Chen'er … You're back! You're finally back … You're really making Mother worried to death. "Wang Wenshu rushed up to hold his shoulder, and looked up and down at his whole body … He wasn't sitting in a wheelchair or anything like that, but he was standing in front of her.
"Mother, I've finished my work. It's been hard on you these past few days. If there's nothing else, I won't be out for so long again. "Ye Wuchen looked at the luxuriously decorated Yeh family's courtyard again and said.
"It's good that you came back early … If you delay the wedding with the Empress and Rourou, then Mother will be worried to death …" Her eyes were still constantly sizing him up, and it was obvious that her two eyes were not enough. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement, love, and pride … She didn't confirm with him whether he was really the Evil Emperor like the rumors said. To her, it didn't matter what earth-shattering good or earth-shattering bad things he did. She only needed to remember that he was her son, and as long as he was safe and sound, it was better than anything else.
"I'll go see Rourou later … Where's Cher?"
"She should still be in the room. These days, she's been looking forward to your return every day … Sigh, next time, don't run out for so long." Wang Wenshu said in a half-reproachful tone.
"En, I'll go see Cher."
Under the strange gazes, Ye Wuchen walked towards his own small courtyard. After a while, the busy voices rang out again … He was the Young Master they were familiar with, but his other identity made it impossible for them to face him with the same attitude as before. The word Evil Emperor was too heavy.
Turning around the courtyard door, the figure of a young girl came towards him. He couldn't dodge in time and fell down. Ye Wuchen reached out to hold her waist and helped her up. He asked with a smile, "Are you okay?"
Seeing Ye Wuchen's face, the girl was obviously stunned and forgot to struggle. She said in a panic, "Young … Young Master, you're back …"
"En … Go and do your work." Ye Wuchen released her slender waist, helped her up, and walked towards his room.
Little Green stood there dumbfounded, watching in a daze as Ye Wuchen walked away. Until he opened the door and entered, his figure was blocked from view by the closed door … Following that, Ning Xue's excited shout could be heard.
Her body still had the feeling of being hugged by him. Little Green slowly lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes, and walked out with light steps. Whether it was strength, talent, power, influence, reputation, appearance … There was no man in the world who could be compared to him. For such a man, it was already a great blessing for her to be his maid. She never dared to hope that she could get his attention. He could only be a distant dream to her.

On this day, the residents of the western part of Gale Country could clearly feel the wind and sand easing. Moreover, the easing trend continued to spread. More and more people walked out of their houses and looked towards the west. In their hearts, the oath made by the Demonic Emperor rang out. The flames of hope and expectation began to burn in their hearts.
The next day, the area affected by the wind and sand retreated by hundreds of miles. When the wind and sand that never subsided suddenly disappeared after a night's sleep, it was unknown how many people breathed in the fresh air and screamed loudly. Their hearts were filled with longing for a peaceful future.
The third day …
The fourth day …
Walking out of their houses, in the distant west, they still saw a smear of yellow. But above them, they saw a blue sky and clouds of different shapes. The air was so fresh. The sand on the ground was no longer flying and the wind caused by the sand was not violent. Instead, there was only a gentle breeze. It was as if they had obtained a new life. Again and again, they cheered and jumped in joy … Most of them shouted the name of the Demonic Emperor into the air.
Heroes … There were many heroes in the history of Gale Country. They died on the battlefield in order to expand their territory and gave their lives to the country. But what they brought with them … These ordinary citizens did not know. They only knew their names. They knew that they were heroes — but it was just a name, a title.
And the Demonic Emperor was the person who brought them a new life. He was the person that they could not express their gratitude to no matter how flowery the language was. Because of the Demonic Emperor, their country changed from "Gale" to "Sky Dragon". However, these people were people who swore to support the Demonic Emperor. They did not allow anyone to say a single bad word about the Demonic Emperor. In fact, stone tablets were erected all over Gale Country, engraved with the name of the Demonic Emperor.
(Thank you to Student Lai Lai for giving me five figures twice. Thank you to Student Monk for giving me four consecutive pages of tips (Damn you, you're really something). Thank you to … that big sister who I don't know how to call me for giving me five figures consecutively … Thank you to the party, thank you to the people, thank you to the government. The policies are good. There are more and more rich people. There are also more and more kind rich people. Oh hahaha …)
