294: The challenge of the proud daughter of heaven! The battle for the first place on the Holy List!

In the past, he had only heard of Ye Xuan’s strength from various rumors, but seeing him today, he finally understood.

The rumors about Ye Xuan were not exaggerated at all; in fact, they were insufficient to describe Ye Xuan’s power and handsomeness.

It was better to see Ye Xuan in person to truly understand his nature.

“Ye Xuan, you’re back!”

Tang Linglong looked at Ye Xuan, and at that moment, she also felt Ye Xuan’s transformation.

Tang Linglong’s expression was somewhat complex.

Tang Linglong was now a Quasi-Emperor.

If she wished, she could fully retrieve her past life’s power and once again become a Great Emperor.

However, Tang Linglong intended to cultivate to Great Emperor in this life before retrieving her past life’s power.

The superposition of two sets of power would allow her to directly break through the shackles of a Great Emperor at that moment and become an Immortal.

Yet, even after making her decision, when she saw Ye Xuan’s formidable power, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

Ye Xuan’s strength was indeed powerful.

Even if she became a Great Emperor or an Immortal, she probably wouldn’t be Ye Xuan’s match.

“Hmm, thank you for your efforts these past few days!”

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell upon Tang Linglong, becoming extremely gentle at that moment.

The surrounding divine maidens and Saintesses looked at the change in Ye Xuan’s gaze.

For some reason, at this moment, they felt a hint of envy towards Tang Linglong.

To be treated so gently by such an outstanding man must feel incredibly good.

Previously, when their Family’s Old Ancestor suggested they marry Ye Xuan, they were somewhat reluctant.

After all, they were the Family’s Prodigies.

Each of them possessed immense strength.

Some were even groomed as Legacy successors, but after meeting Ye Xuan today, all their previous resistance vanished at this very moment.

At this moment, they even felt that if they could marry Ye Xuan and become his wife, it wouldn’t be bad at all.

“It’s nothing, it’s just a small matter; after all, I am the Mistress of the Ye Family.”

Tang Linglong waved her hand, not caring.

“Alright, I have something for you later.”

Ye Xuan smiled slightly; Ye Xuan could naturally see that Tang Linglong was currently at a crucial juncture.

It just so happened that he had some items on hand that could help her, so he would give them all to her at once.

“Hmm, you decide.”

Tang Linglong waved her hand, then embraced Ye Chuqing, and left with Ye Xi and Ye Qingxian.

After Tang Linglong left, Ye Xuan then looked at everyone, his gaze lingering for a moment on Ouyang Hongling and Ouyang Lan.

Ouyang Hongling and Ouyang Lan were indeed two beauties of different styles.

One, clad in red, exuded charm, while the other, in a blue robe, resembled an Immortal, with a hint of youthful arrogance on her tender Face.

Although she hadn’t fully matured, her beautiful appearance was still captivating.

Moreover, when these two appeared, the System also gave a prompt.

Ouyang Lan was rated as Gold-Red Aptitude by the System, and Ouyang Hongling was rated as Gold Aptitude.

This was enough to show the formidable nature of Ouyang Lan’s Physique.

“I already know your intentions. The specific matters will be handled by Ye Qingtian. These Saintesses and divine maidens will all be arranged by him, and he will be responsible for the wedding at that time.”

Ye Xuan said calmly.

After all, Ye Qingtian had always handled these matters very well.

“Then we will trouble Clan Chief Ye.”

Ouyang Hongling and the others looked at Ye Qingtian, smiling politely at him.

Ye Qingtian returned the gesture. Although Ye Xuan’s Face was involved, he still dared not be presumptuous in front of an Immortal.

Ye Qingtian led the divine maidens and Saintesses away.

Suddenly, only Ouyang Hongling and Ouyang Lan were left in the palace.

“Fellow Daoist Ye Xuan, now that you have overcome the Emperor Tribulation, your strength surpasses what it was in the past. It seems the Ye Family will also be able to advance further, and this Eastern Wilderness will likely be unified by the Ye Family soon.”

“I congratulate Fellow Daoist Ye Xuan on this.”

Ouyang Hongling smiled faintly as she congratulated Ye Xuan.

“You’re too kind. The Ye Family’s development is nothing special; it certainly cannot compare to the Immortal clan power of the Ouyang Family.”

Ye Xuan was polite.

However, this was also the truth. The Ouyang Family had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and had long since become an Immortal clan.

Not only did they possess immense power in the Endless God Domain, but even in the rumored Immortal Realm, their strength was probably not weak.

Ye Xuan naturally had to treat them well.

“Haha, not at all. We are all decaying forces; how can we compare to the nascent Ye Family?”

Ouyang Hongling chuckled upon hearing this.

The words they exchanged were merely pleasantries, a back-and-forth of politeness.

However, while Ouyang Hongling and Ye Xuan were talking, Ouyang Lan grew somewhat impatient.

“Ye Xuan, I heard that when you were a Quasi-Emperor, you single-handedly slew five Great Emperors, and even before undergoing the Emperor Tribulation, you killed four Immortals.”

“Your strength is extremely formidable, and you also ascended to the saint ranking of the Celestial Mystery Deduction Hall, becoming the number one on the saint ranking. I am number two, and I have always been unconvinced by you.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would be number one. Therefore, today I want to fight you. If I lose, I will willingly admit that you are number one and will no longer contend for the position with you from now on.”

“If I win, then the position of number one on the saint ranking will be mine.”

Ouyang Lan looked at Ye Xuan, saying with an unconvinced expression.

“Lan’er, don’t be rude!”

Ouyang Hongling didn’t expect Ouyang Lan to directly provoke Ye Xuan, and she felt a bit helpless.

“Fellow Daoist Ye Xuan, Lan’er is still young and doesn’t understand things. Please don’t mind what just happened.”

Ouyang Hongling could feel the extremely terrifying power emanating from Ye Xuan.

Although Ye Xuan hadn’t fully unleashed it yet, that power was enough to make her heart palpitate.

Therefore, Ouyang Hongling knew that Ouyang Lan was definitely not Ye Xuan’s opponent.

Acting rashly would only lead to injury.

Ouyang Lan’s Physique was astonishing. If anything happened to her, the Ouyang Family could not afford such a loss.

“Old Ancestor Hong Ling, what are you saying? I didn’t, I…”

Ouyang Lan immediately retorted upon hearing this, but before she could finish her sentence, Ouyang Hongling directly covered her mouth.

So she could only glare at Ouyang Hongling and Ye Xuan, looking unconvinced.

“Oh, haha, no matter. Young Miss Lan’er is quite interesting. Fellow Daoist Ouyang, there’s no need to be like this. I’m not some man-eating beast.”

“Besides, Young Miss Lan’er is right. If it were me, being pushed from the first to the second spot on the saint ranking, I would also be unconvinced and want to challenge that person.”

“So I accept the challenge, but the outcome of the victory and defeat will be decided by me. What do you think, Young Miss Lan’er?”

Ye Xuan still wore a slight smile. He wasn’t angry because of Ouyang Lan’s words.

After all, with a feisty little pepper like her, Ye Xuan would only feel satisfied after she was conquered.

Otherwise, if she were forcefully pressured into marrying him, Ouyang Lan would probably harbor resentment towards him in her heart.
