Great Emperor Xue Yang's Obsession
Emperor Hades's words baffled everyone in the hall. Ye Zichen and Xue Mo, in particular, glanced at each other. Both of them were bewildered.
Their relationship was purely that of brothers. They hadn't even reached the stage of lovers yet.
It seemed Emperor Hades was overthinking things, but as juniors, they couldn't very well retort.
Xue Yang's expression was unsightly, and his gaze lingered on Ye Zichen.
The more a father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, the angrier he got. At first, he'd thought Ye Zichen wasn't bad, but now, there wasn't a single part of him he felt comfortable looking at.
"Great, this Great Emperor took it seriously."
Ye Zichen could sense Xue Yang's displeasure from his gaze.
He nodded and smiled, but all he got in return was a cold glare.
"Haha, Old Man Xue, you took it seriously?" At that moment, Emperor Hades burst into laughter. "I was just joking. Look at you. I just wanted to tell you that Ye Zichen has two of the God Realm's great divine artifacts, and he's currently on the Northern Divine Mountain. Take good care of him. "
"Hmph, divine artifacts belong to the strongest. If he's not strong enough to protect them, he'll just give them to someone else. I don't have time to keep an eye on him every day. "
Xue Yang's gaze was as unfriendly as ever, and he glowered at Emperor Hades.
"I represent the Sea of Innocence in signing an alliance with you. In half a month, I'll send a clone over. Farewell."
Xue Yang cupped his hands at Emperor Hades, then rose to his feet.
"Little Mo, come back with me."
"Dad, I'll go back with Ye Zichen," said Xue Mo.
"What do you mean go back with him? Come with me."
Xue Yang didn't give Xue Mo any time to respond. He waved his sleeves, and a wave of astral energy wrapped around her. The two of them transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from Emperor Hades' palace.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Ye Zichen shrugged and watched them leave. Su Yiyun also sensed that something was off.
Only Emperor Hades ….
"Your Majesty, Xue Mo and I are brothers," Ye Zichen couldn't help but explain.
"Of course I know." Ming Di nodded indifferently. "I've lived for so long. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell if something was going on between the two of you?"
"Then you …."
"I did it on purpose!" Ming Di shrugged with a faint smile. "I already said it was just a joke. Who knew that old man would be so stubborn and take it so seriously?"
As he spoke, Ming Di's eyes remained indifferent, as though he didn't care at all.
He didn't really care. The fact that the Northern Divine Mountain had allied with the Styx River had already met his expectations.
In a few days, Xue Yang promised to send his clone to the River Styx. He'd achieved his goal.
Whether Xue Yang was angry or not, it had nothing to do with him.
"…"
Ye Zichen didn't want to say anything about this great emperor's irresponsibility.
"If Emperor Hades has nothing else to say, then this junior will take his leave."
"Go, go. But for now, it's best if you stay at the foot of the mountain. That way, it'll be more convenient for you to retrieve the Xuan-Yuan Sword."
You don't even need to say that.
Ye Zichen muttered to himself. The Xuan-Yuan Sword was in Emperor Hades's hands. How could he leave so easily?
"Junior will be waiting for you."
"En, go ahead. When the time comes to retrieve the Xuan-Yuan Sword, I'll resurrect the young man called Chen Guangfa as well. "
"This junior will take his leave."
Emperor Hades chuckled as he watched Ye Zichen leave. His gaze gradually darkened.
"Yiyun, while I was in seclusion, did any of the vicious beasts or divine souls fail to carry out your orders?"
"Yes." Su Yiyun nodded.
"Let's go. I'll help you take care of them. These guys have been quiet for too long. They really think they're the masters of this place. "
….
After leaving the River Styx, Ye Zichen headed straight for Raging Flame City.
The Parliament of Stars and Upheaval had merged a year ago. He knew about this, and their headquarters were both located in Raging Flame City. Ye Zichen got a basic understanding of the gang's situation from Wei Jie and the others, then let them go about their own business.
"What did you come to the Lower Lands for?"
Ever since Ye Zichen and Zuo Mo had broken through that layer of ambiguity between them, they no longer held back.
Zuo Mo walked up to Ye Zichen in her chiffon dress, then sat down on his lap.
Ye Zichen pressed his lips into a smile and picked up the fruit.
"I went to the River Styx. A friend of mine died on the Divine Mountains, so I asked Emperor Hades to bring him back to life."
"The dead can come back to life?" asked Zuo Mo in surprise.
Ye Zichen nodded, then couldn't help but ask.
"How's our information network going? And how's our trade association going?"
"Although our trade association was established relatively late, Upheaval is powerful, so the other families have to give us face. We've monopolized over eighty percent of the businesses in the Lower Lands. "
Zuo Mo smiled, but Ye Zichen was well aware that the trade association's current predicament had a lot to do with Zuo Mo's methods.
If it weren't for Upheaval, it would've been very difficult for them to shake the Skyspan Trading Company's position in the Lower Lands.
After giving Ye Zichen a rough overview of the trade association's situation, Zuo Mo continued.
"We've established an information network. Right now, the entire Lower Lands are covered by our network. Only the Northern Divine Mountain isn't covered yet, but we should be able to in a few days. As for equipment, I set up a factory the moment you returned from the Lower Lands. Before long, the first batch of equipment should be ready. "
Ye Zichen hadn't expected things to progress so quickly. It seemed having a good wife really saved him a lot of trouble.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the first batch of equipment to be ready. Once that was done, all he had to do was promote it, and cell phones would become commonplace on the Divine Mountains, as well as in the yao and demon realms.
Furthermore, Ye Zichen had Emperor Hades's connections. He could ask him to pull the great emperors into the group.
If he could foster their "bad habit" of sending red packets, then he could hide in the group and wait to snatch them up. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"That's right," said Zuo Mo. "But as the trade association develops, we need to establish an information network as well. We need to know what's going on in the Lower Lands, how many yao and demons have arrived, and when they've arrived. I want to know everything. "
"That's simple. We just need to recruit a few intelligence agents from our various branches and merchant groups." Zuo Mo nodded.
"I trust you to take care of things."
He gently patted her on the waist. At that moment, Ye Zichen's phone buzzed again.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was definitely the people from the Red Packet Group.
He pulled out his phone, opened his social media app, and saw the first message.
However, when he saw the message, he was stunned.
It wasn't that the message was too shocking, but that the sender was ….
