Hei Linlin's appearance caused Ye Chengtian to be immersed in memories from more than a decade ago.
Ye Chengtian and Hei Yao were originally completely unrelated.
At that time, Ye Chengtian was just a weak prince. He had a beautiful wife but no power behind him that could support his rise.
Hei Yao was the opposite. He was young and arrogant. Behind him was a high-class beast tribe. At that time, he was already a peak Martial Emperor.
When he learned of Hei Yao's identity, Ye Chengtian was shocked. However, he quickly realized that this was a great opportunity for him.
He immediately suggested that he would work with Hei Yao. He would be the spy of the Black Qilin Tribe in the Boundless Continent while the powerful Black Qilin Tribe would help Ye Chengtian ascend to the throne.
Ye Chengtian had a good plan but he still underestimated Hei Yao.
Hei Yao was very similar to Hei Linlin. However, compared to the current Hei Linlin, Hei Yao was undoubtedly a more far-sighted person.
He had planned to save Ye Chengtian in the first place.
He agreed to help Ye Chengtian obtain the throne of Zhou State but he had other conditions.
Even though more than a decade had passed, Ye Chengtian still remembered Hei Yao's words. "I can help you make your dream come true but I have a condition. I want your woman to accompany me for three days and three nights."
When Ye Chengtian heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He didn't expect Hei Yao to covet his woman.
At that time, Ye Chengtian had just married Madam Li. Madam Li's beauty was famous in Zhou State.
Ye Chengtian struggled in his heart. He weighed the pros and cons and finally convinced himself that women were like clothes. Madam Li was a person who understood the big picture. She would definitely understand his difficulties.
He agreed to Hei Yao's condition. When he returned to the Jade Capital, he told Madam Li about his agreement with Hei Yao.
Ye Chengtian knelt in front of a woman for the first time and cried bitterly. He told Madam Li about his depression over the years.
At that time, Madam Li was only sixteen years old. After hearing everything, her beautiful face didn't have any expression.
She only changed into a plain dress. Facing the cold wind, she boarded Hei Yao's carriage and left for three days and three nights.
To Ye Chengtian, those three days and three nights were the most humiliating three days and three nights. However, at the same time, his heart was filled with anticipation because he knew that he was one step closer to the throne that he longed for.
However, what Ye Chengtian didn't expect was that after Madam Li returned, she became pregnant.
Needless to say, Ye Chengtian knew that it was Hei Yao's flesh and blood.
Ye Chengtian hated this to the bone. He wanted to kill Madam Li and the bastard in her womb with his own hands.
However, Ye Chengtian didn't dare to do so because he knew that the bastard was left behind by Hei Yao. It would be the most advantageous chess piece for the Black Qilin Race to attack the Boundless World.
Madam Li's belly grew bigger day by day. With the help of the Black Qilin Clan, Ye Chengtian reached the peak of power day by day.
Nine months later, he was crowned as the Crown Prince and eventually inherited the throne.
At that time, Hei Yao had no choice but to leave the Boundless Continent and return to the Eight Desolates Continent because he wanted to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Black Qilin Clan.
When Hei Yao left, he did not leave behind a single word.
Madam Li also became Empress Li but the child in her womb became blind the moment he was born.
Finally, Empress Li was banished to the Cold Palace and died in the cold palace. However, Ye Beiming survived like wild grass and even his eyes regained their sight.
Ye Beiming's existence was a humiliation to Ye Chengtian. More than ten years ago, the matter of him swapping his wife for glory was a constant reminder to him.
However, Ye Chengtian didn't dare to kill Ye Beiming because he knew that one day, Hei Yao would return to find his flesh and blood.
Ye Chengtian sank into his memories and couldn't pull himself out.
At the side, Hei Linlin was sizing up the human emperor.
It was undeniable that Ye Chengtian had a good appearance. Although he was middle-aged, one could still see his youthful appearance. His eyebrows were long like willows and his figure was like a jade tree. It was no wonder that Empress Li of Zhou State was infatuated with him for decades.
However, if this man could even betray his wife, could he still be considered a man? He didn't have the right to be compared to her father.
When Hei Linlin was young, she had seen her father, Hei Yao, looking into the distance with a gentle gaze.
Her father didn't love her mother. It was said that when he traveled to the human world, he fell in love with a married woman. That woman was Madam Li.
Until this time, when she returned to the Eight Desolate Tribe and told her father about Ye Beiming, her father told her that Ye Beiming might be her elder brother.
"Saintess, did you come here to find your elder brother? To be honest, he is currently in the Jade Capital. If you want to reunite with him, I'm afraid you can only do it privately … "Ye Chengtian retracted his thoughts.
Facing the Black Qilin Clan that had once helped him, Ye Di was both respectful and fearful.
His cooperation with the Black Qilin Clan was a secret that couldn't be revealed. If other countries on the continent found out, Zhou State would be accused of betraying the human race. Even the citizens of Zhou State wouldn't forgive him.
"No, I'm not here to reunite with him. I want you to use Father's name to grant him a marriage. I want to marry him." Hei Linlin spoke her thoughts without hesitation.
"What? How can that be? Saintess, you and Beiming are siblings. "Ye Di of Zhou State couldn't help but be shocked by Hei Linlin's boldness.
It was said that the women of the beast race were bold and open-minded. However, to the Ye Di of Zhou State, this kind of thing that was close to breaking the rules of ethics was really disgraceful and unethical.
"Hmph, what's wrong with that? Close relatives aren't allowed to marry each other. That's just the stupid idea of you humans. In the Black Qilin Clan, there has always been the custom of siblings marrying each other. Especially for the royal family, in order to maintain the nobility of their bloodline, it is customary for close relatives to marry each other. My grandfather and grandmother are cousins. "Hei Linlin sneered.
There was also such a saying among the Bhakra Orcs.
Within the same clan, if the Blood Clan members married each other, there was a certain chance that they would give birth to a child with low IQ. However, there was also a small chance that they would give birth to an absolute expert with extraordinary talent.
Hei Yao himself was born from close relatives. His strength could be ranked in the top three among the hundreds of Qilin Clan leaders. It was said that he was only slightly inferior to the Black Qilin King of the Eight Desolate Beast Mound.
Hei Linlin and Ye Beiming had been separated since young. The two of them didn't have any feelings for each other.
Ye Beiming was the man she fell in love with at first sight.
She had to become his wife.
Hei Linlin believed that as long as she and Ye Beiming were together, their children could even become peak existences that surpassed the strongest Black Qilin King.
"But Saintess, Beiming already has a fiancée. I'm afraid he won't agree to your request." Ye Chengtian felt a wave of regret when he remembered that he had personally agreed to this marriage.
