151: Go to the Sea King's Palace to propose marriage? The Sea King also needs a husband?

“You saved me, and I am grateful to you, but there is no way to repay you. However, marrying you is another matter entirely,” Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, said to Ye Xuan as soon as he returned.

During the time Ye Xuan was away slaying the Sea Race Great Saint, Tang Linglong had given Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, quite a bit of advice.

Among them, of course, was the suggestion for Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, to offer herself to him.

That’s why Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, specifically sought out Ye Xuan to explain the situation as soon as he returned.

So, when Ye Xuan heard this, he looked at Tang Linglong with some surprise.

Cough, cough, although he did intend for Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, to bear his children.

He was certainly not a beast.

At most, they had only met once, and no feelings had been cultivated yet. To directly talk about marriage was simply too hasty.

Therefore, Ye Xuan intended to explain.

Otherwise, it would be bad if Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, thought he was someone who exploited gratitude for personal gain.

However, before he could speak, Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, continued.

“If you want to marry me, you must formally propose to the Sea Emperor Palace and pass the numerous trials set by my Sea Emperor Palace before I can marry you. However, I will inform His Majesty, the Sea Emperor, that you saved me.”

“This way, the difficulty of your trials might be lowered, but they absolutely cannot be omitted.”

“…”

Ye Xuan fell silent.

To be honest, he initially thought Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, was directly rejecting him, but he didn't expect that she believed marriage shouldn't be decided so hastily.

Instead, she wanted him to formally propose.

To be honest, this was completely different from what he had imagined.

So, Ye Xuan's gaze involuntarily fell upon Tang Linglong and Yan Ruyu.

It seemed he had instructed Yan Ruyu to look after Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, before he left, right?

And this is how she was looked after?

“Husband, please don’t look at your concubine like that. Your concubine merely spoke some truths. The Dragon Girl sister being able to say such things is entirely her own thoughts and has nothing to do with your concubine.”

When Yan Ruyu saw Ye Xuan’s gaze fall on her, she merely smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes containing an indescribable emotion that stirred Ye Xuan’s heart.

“Yes, these are all my own thoughts, and they have nothing to do with Sister Yan Ruyu and Sister Linglong,” Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, shook her head, taking the responsibility upon herself.

As soon as she said this, Ye Xuan instantly understood. It seemed Yan Ruyu and Tang Linglong really did say something to her.

And that was indeed the case. As a Yao Race Bloodline, Yan Ruyu understood that she was different from Ye Xuan’s other Dao Companions. If she couldn't demonstrate her usefulness, perhaps even if Ye Xuan didn't say anything,

some Ye family members would still have some complaints in their hearts. After all, the ancestor of that dark turmoil was from the Yao Race, and this time, the Blood Sea incident was also caused by the Yao Race.

Since she knew Ye Xuan needed some exceptionally talented divine women to expand his lineage,

she would naturally do her best to recruit these people for Ye Xuan.

It was just Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, who had been extremely well-nurtured by the Sea Emperor and the Silver Dragon Clan, making her very pure. A slight trick was enough to lure her in.

And Tang Linglong also knew Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl’s future. The reason she was able to rule the Nine Thousand Sea Regions in the future was because the events of this time led to the destruction of the Sea Emperor Palace and the Silver Dragon Clan.

After that, Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl’s personality changed drastically. She practiced in seclusion and then, by herself, eliminated all her enemies, thus unifying the sea regions and becoming the Empress.

So, when Yan Ruyu was helping to persuade, or rather, enticing, Tang Linglong also helped by saying a few words.

These words were nothing more than: only Ye Xuan could help her save the Sea Emperor Palace and the Silver Dragon Clan.

And if she wanted Ye Xuan to act, then she would only have to become his wife, and Ye Xuan would fully assist her, and so on.

These words successfully moved Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl.

That’s why Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, eagerly came to find Ye Xuan as soon as he returned.

“You must promise me, and, actually, actually… you are very excellent, and Sea Emperor sister also needs a husband. At that time, you can also be a husband to Sea Emperor sister, and also to Qing Zhi sister!”

Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, said something else that made Ye Xuan laugh and cry.

He looked at Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl; this girl was too simple. She was tricked by a few words from Yan Ruyu and Tang Linglong into revealing all her Family secrets.

However, since she had delivered herself to his doorstep, he certainly wouldn't push her away. He would accept everything.

“Alright, I promise you. Don’t worry, by then I will naturally go to the Sea Emperor Palace to propose and welcome you into the Ye family. And I will also handle your troubles for you, rest assured,” Ye Xuan said with a gentle smile, looking at Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl.

“Mmm-hmm!”

Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with admiration for Ye Xuan.

However, this made Ye Xuan feel a sense of guilt. After all, although Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl’s age had long exceeded a hundred years,

in the Silver Dragon Clan, she was still just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she had been extremely well-nurtured since childhood, possessing an ethereal quality that seemed untouched by the mortal world.

So, this made Ye Xuan feel a sense of guilt, as if he were abducting a young girl.

However, this thought only flashed in his mind for an instant before he cast it aside.

…………

During the period when Sea Chen, the Dragon Girl, was recuperating, the power of the Ye family was rapidly expanding.

The arrival of the two Great Saints accelerated the Ye family’s expansion. With the final collapse of the Heavenly Sword Alliance,

no one in the entire Tianxing Province dared to directly confront the Ye family’s might. They all chose to resist, then all submitted.

As for the Taiyi Divine Palace, as they had agreed, the Taiyi Divine Palace chose to withdraw from the struggle for dominance, retaining only one area to continue existing, and choosing to submit to the Ye family.

At this point, the Ye family had unified the entire Tianxing Province.

Their power further developed and grew stronger.

However, the Ye family’s development had not been long. Although they no longer lacked top-tier combat power, there were still not many Saints and Saint Kings.

This was also the reason why Ye Xuan had not yet elevated the Ye family to a Holy Land.

However, in terms of overall strength, the Ye family was no worse than some Holy Lands that occupied several State Domains, and even surpassed them in terms of high-end combat power.

And at this moment, the familiar System prompt sounded from Ye Xuan’s side.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for improving the Family's overall strength. Rewards a Family upgrade gift package. Do you wish to open it?】

The System's mechanical voice sounded, and Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.

He hadn't heard the System's voice in a long time.

He wondered what the System would reward him with this time.

“Open!”

【Ding, package opening.】
