Ye Futian's decisive rejection made the Empress' expression darken again. She was the Empress, and her daughter, Loulan Xue, was extremely talented and beautiful. Yet, she was rejected when she begged to marry Ye Futian.
Now, she'd even agreed for her daughter to serve with other women but was still rejected.
"The Virgin isn't good enough for you?" The empress asked coldly. If it wasn't for the sage's words, she'd really want to slap him to death.
"Empress, you should know that the Virgin doesn't have any feelings for me. How can you be so casual about something like this?" Ye Futian looked at the empress. "Just because the Virgin is beautiful? If that's the case, do I have to marry all beautiful women in the future? "
"Feelings can be nurtured slowly. When you get together, you'll naturally like the Virgin," the empress said. This bastard was acting all high and mighty in front of her? What did men look at other than looks?
He'd get used to Loulan Xue being by his side. She didn't believe he wouldn't change his mind. To the empress, the person Ye Futian liked couldn't be as beautiful as her daughter.
"I don't know why you want the Virgin to marry me but I do have a girlfriend and we're very close. If you like my talent, I'm willing to be friends with Loulan since I've gained something in the Loulan Relic and met the sage in the book. Why must you force me to marry the Virgin?"
Ye Futian asked. He thought he was handsome but the empress was doing this not because of his looks but because of his talent. She wanted to rope him in.
Now that he was under the eaves, he had to lower his head. He had to get through this first.
The empress stared at Ye Futian. This bastard was indeed very smart.
She naturally understood that Ye Futian's words made sense. However, Ye Futian would soon enter the Ancient Barren World to cultivate and wasn't from Ancient Loulan. How solid could a so-called friendship be? At most, he'd owe her a favor.
This clearly wasn't what she wanted. The sage wanted Ye Futian to become a part of Ancient Loulan.
Because she cherished talent, she wanted her daughter to marry him. This kind of relationship could firmly bind Ye Futian. In the future, Loulan Xue would have his flesh and blood. Where else could he run to?
This way, the Loulan bloodline could be passed on better.
But she had never thought that Ye Futian would actually refuse.
Looking at Ye Futian, the Empress thought for a moment, and her voice became calm again. She said, "If that's the case, I won't force you. You were a little extreme before, but you didn't know what's good for you. The Virgin, on the other hand, has some good feelings for you. You should spend more time with her. You might change your mind in the future. Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his palace.
"Thank you, Empress." Ye Futian followed behind her.
The Empress' face was cold as she cursed Ye Futian in her heart.
She really wanted to beat him up.
Ye Futian looked at the back of the Empress and cursed in his heart at how quickly this old woman changed her attitude. He hated himself for not being strong enough, or else he would have beaten this old woman up.
When Ye Futian saw Loulan Xue in the Empress Palace, she was as calm and cold as ever, as if nothing had happened. It was probably just her personality.
Looking at the Empress and Ye Futian, Loulan Xue knew that the two had reconciled.
"You should return to the Ancient Barren World to cultivate later," the Empress said. "Ye Futian, how long do you plan on staying there?"
"I'm not sure. I might go to the Barren City," Ye Futian said. He couldn't lose Ye Wuchen's arm for nothing. Even if he couldn't get revenge now, he had to figure out some things and plan for his future in the Eastern Barren Territory.
"Your plane is still too low," the Empress said. "Ancient Loulan has placed many noble ritual implements in the Ancient Barren World. They've all been taken from the relic over the years. They've never brought them out. I heard you got a guqin, but I don't think it's enough. When we get back, the Virgin will take you to pick one."
Ye Futian blinked. She was indeed the empress of an ancient country. Her methods … Not long ago, she seemed to want to kill him. In the blink of an eye, she'd become a senior caring for a junior. Amazing.
"Thank you, Empress," Ye Futian said.
"Go out first. I need to speak with the Virgin," the Empress said. Ye Futian nodded and left.
After Ye Futian left, the Empress looked at Loulan Xue. "Didn't you want to go to the Barren City to train? We can go together."
Loulan Xue looked up at the Empress. It seemed that she hadn't given up yet.
"This b * stard is such a hypocrite. With your looks by his side, I don't believe that he won't be moved and forget about his girlfriend in less than a month." The Heaven Queen said, "When the time comes, I must make him beg me to marry you to him."
Imagining the future, the Empress's eyes flashed with a cold smile.
Loulan Xue stared at the Empress without saying anything.
"Okay, go," the Empress said.
"Okay." Loulan Xue nodded and left the palace to find Ye Futian.
"Let's go back to the Ancient Barren World," Loulan Xue said.
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded and the two returned to the Ancient Barren World. Loulan Xue was as calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.
After returning from Ye Futian's palace, the Black Wind Eagle came up to him.
Yu Sheng also walked over. Ye Futian asked, "Have the people from the other side come to harass you these days?"
"They're very arrogant. They come every now and then as if they're guarding us, waiting for us to leave the palace," Yu Sheng said coldly.
Ye Futian's eyes flashed. Waiting to make a move?
"Where's Wuchen?" Ye Futian saw Lin Yueyao but not Ye Wuchen.
"He's cultivating in seclusion," Yu Sheng said. "Wuchen improved a lot while you were gone. I've also broken through to the Second Level Dharma Plane."
"Not bad." Ye Futian smiled. "I'm the same as you."
Lin Yueyao pouted. These cultivation monsters. She was only in the Second Level Dharma Plane. When she was in the Nine-star Glory Plane, these two were only in the Seven-star Glory Plane. Now, they'd caught up to her in such a short time.
And this was just the plane. Who knew how much stronger they were?
"Then let's continue cultivating for a while. Let's wait for Wuchen to finish," Ye Futian said. Ye Futian asked. Ye Wuchen had been imbued with noble intent in the relic. Then he lost his arm and obtained a ritual implement. He must have learned a lot. He needed some time to break through and stabilize his intent.
In the remaining time, Ye Futian continued to cultivate quietly.
One day, he was playing the guqin in the palace when a figure came. It was Yue Linglong.
Zhao Han and Shi Tong followed behind her, looking at Ye Futian coldly.
Yue Linglong walked over to Ye Futian and smiled charmingly. "You're finally back. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."
Her smile was naturally seductive and mesmerizing.
"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in older women," Ye Futian said, looking up at her.
Yue Linglong's eyes froze. Looking at Ye Futian, she said, "Young Master Qian told me to ask you something. Haven't you thought it through?"
"Think what through?" Ye Futian asked, confused.
"Hmph." Shi Tong huffed coldly. "I heard that you left the Ancient Barren World recently. What treasures did you get with the book?"
"A lot. Do you want it?" Ye Futian looked up at Shi Tong.
"Ye Futian, are you going to hide in the palace for the rest of your lives?" Zhao Han asked directly. His voice was cold. If Ye Futian didn't leave the palace, they couldn't do anything here. That would be a slap in the face to the royal family.
"Are you done?" Ye Futian looked at the three. "If you're done, then scram."
The three stared at Ye Futian with cold expressions. This guy was still as arrogant as ever.
"Let's see how long you can hide," Zhao Han said and the three left.
"Hide?"
Ye Futian had a mocking look on his face. These guys had really been waiting for them all along.
After a few more days, Ye Wuchen finally came out. His aura seemed to have changed again. It was purer. Even without releasing any aura, he gave off the feeling of a sword.
"How's your cultivation?" Ye Futian asked.
"Fifth-level Dharma Plane. My sword intent is also complete," Ye Wuchen said calmly.
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded and left to find Virgin Loulan Xue. He asked her to seal off all news of the palace.
On this day, Qian Yang's group was still facing Ye Futian's group.
He wasn't in a good mood. Ye Futian really knew how to hide. It had been so many days and there was no sign of him leaving the palace.
But he could just pretend he was cultivating here. The royal family didn't chase him away anyway.
Just then, a figure walked into the palace quietly. His steps weren't fast but seemed to follow a certain rhythm. He walked into the palace step by step.
Before long, he stood before Qian Yang's group.
Qian Yang, Zhao Han, Shi Tong, and the other three were all gathered together, discussing some matters.
But at this moment, their gazes were all focused forward.
There, a one-armed figure walked quietly. He held a sword in his right hand with the tip pointed to the ground. He walked step by step towards Qian Yang's group.
Qian Yang's group had strange expressions. What did Ye Wuchen mean?
