18: Yao Xi, wife, don't run away, stay and have the baby!

Upon entering the room, Yao Xi looked at the layout with some surprise; it was a style she had never seen before.

"Young Miss Yao Xi, this is the interior design style of my hometown. If you aren't used to it, please follow me to the room next door; that one has a normal palace style." Seeing Yao Xi's surprise at the modern style, Ye Wen hurriedly explained.

"It's fine, let's stay here. I didn't expect your hometown to have buildings in this style. It's truly rare, but it has a unique charm." Yao Xi looked around with curiosity and then sat down on a soft sofa.

As soon as she sat on the sofa, surprise appeared on Yao Xi's face. "Such a soft cushion, and the back supports me so comfortably. This is really nice." Yao Xi reclined on the sofa, feeling very satisfied with it.

It was unlike the Holy Land, where those clunky chairs were very uncomfortable to sit on.

Her delicate jade-like body would feel numb for ages after sitting on those clunky chairs for a while.

"I'm glad you like it. This is from my hometown. Would you like some tea?" Ye Wen walked to the side, brought over cups and a teapot, and began to brew tea.

"Whatever you like." Yao Xi didn't have many requirements.

Soon, she took the tea Ye Wen handed to her.

"The taste of this tea is a bit peculiar; it doesn't seem to be any kind of Spirit Tea. Is this Mortal tea?" Yao Xi looked at Ye Wen with some surprise.

"Coarse tea, I hope you don't mind." Ye Wen loved tea—he really loved it. After coming to this world, he had searched for many types of tea and finally found this one, which was light and suited him well.

Although there were other better teas, he wasn't used to them and instead preferred drinking this kind of coarse tea.

"It's fine; tasting it occasionally is not bad." Yao Xi naturally wouldn't mind.

After finishing the tea, Yao Xi began to address the real business.

"I have come under the orders of the Holy Lord to take you back to the Yaoguang Holy Land. With your talent, you will be able to receive better development in the Yaoguang Holy Land. What do you think?" Setting down the teacup, Yao Xi looked at Ye Wen.

"Hmm, I agree. I have long been looking forward to this day. I have been striving to Cultivate precisely to enter a better power, because I know that only a Holy Land can support this hidden dragon as it grows."

"Young Miss Yao Xi, do you think I am boasting?" Ye Wen smiled at Yao Xi, wanting to get an answer from her.

"A nice dream. A hidden dragon? Do you define yourself as a dragon hidden in the deep?" Yao Xi smiled as she looked at Ye Wen; she hadn't expected Ye Wen to be so interesting.

"Of course, if I'm not a hidden dragon, then who is? I dare say that in the Eastern Wasteland, no one's cultivation speed is higher than mine. And this is still in a small place like the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. If I had been in a Holy Land from the beginning, I might have been able to Breakthrough to the Four Extremities Realm in a year."

Regarding his cultivation talent, Ye Wen had always been very confident.

Looking at such a confident Ye Wen, Yao Xi couldn't help but be curious about where his confidence came from.

Although she had checked the information on the Yin-Yang Physique and knew that this Physique had a very fast cultivation speed, there were limits.

All things have their own balance; if one excels in one aspect, there will naturally be flaws in another.

The Yin-Yang Physique's cultivation speed was indeed fast—she admitted that—but when this Physique was Undergoing Tribulation, it was terrifying.

Especially starting from the Four Extremities Realm; records in the Yaoguang Holy Land mentioned three such cases.

Without exception, they all died before the Heavenly Tribulation; not a single one was able to Breakthrough to the Immortal Terrace Realm.

"Confidence is a good thing, but you must also know that your Physique is even more difficult when Undergoing Tribulation than others. It's not as if there haven't been people with your Physique in history, but without exception, they all died before the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Not a single one successfully broke through to the Immortal Terrace Realm. Do you think you are that person?" Yao Xi looked at Ye Wen with a smile.

"The mere Immortal Terrace Realm? Young Miss Yao Xi, you are underestimating me. My goal is to become an Emperor!" Ye Wen puffed out his chest and answered with great confidence.

"Become an Emperor? You really are interesting, and you have big dreams. However, with the current suppression of the Great Dao by the Azure Emperor, let alone becoming an Emperor, even becoming a Dao Severing King is difficult. And you still want to become an Emperor?" Yao Xi covered her small mouth and laughed.

"The Great Dao suppression does exist, but I have a premonition that this suppression will soon dissipate. When that happens, the Laws of heaven and earth will recover, and becoming a Dao Severing King will not be far off. For me, becoming an Emperor is just the starting point; my goal is to break into the Immortal Domain and achieve Immortal Ascension!"

"Young Miss Yao Xi, I wonder if you are interested in making a deal with me?" Ye Wen smiled as he looked at Yao Xi.

He was very greedy for Yao Xi. Although he could let the System take action, he preferred to take her himself.

Forcing women was not something he was willing to do; the Ruthless Empress was an exception.

"A deal? Interesting." Yao Xi hadn't expected Ye Wen to actually want to make a deal with her.

"Tell me about it. Perhaps if I find it interesting, I might just agree." Yao Xi brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Ye Wen.

Seeing that Yao Xi was interested, a trace of awkwardness appeared on Ye Wen's face. He coughed twice and said, "It's like this, Young Miss Yao Xi, you also know that I have the Yin-Yang Physique. My ability to reach the Four Extremities Realm like this is inseparable from women, so I want to make a bet with you."

"Bet on your future. After I become an Emperor, I will take you with me into the Immortal Domain and help you become a True Immortal as well. In return, I need you to be my Dao Companion. Of course, this is not forced; everything depends on your own choice."

"My ability to advance so quickly is thanks to Wei Wei. It was her dedication that allowed me to advance to the Four Extremities Realm so quickly. Now that I am already at the Four Extremities Realm, if I could have Young Miss Yao Xi's help..."

"I am confident that within a year, I can Breakthrough to the Dragon Transformation Realm. This is not just my own confidence, but also confidence in you, Young Miss Yao Xi. You are very suitable to be a Dao Companion; your appearance and strength perfectly meet my criteria."

Ye Wen looked at Yao Xi very seriously as he explained the deal.

Listening to Ye Wen's explanation, Yao Xi was stunned; she hadn't expected Ye Wen to dare to brag like this.

Advancing from just reaching the Four Extremities to the Dragon Transformation Realm in a year? Do you think it's as easy as drinking water?

Moreover, she suspected that Ye Wen was after her. From the moment this guy saw her, his gaze hadn't left her chest and thighs.

She had foolishly thought Ye Wen was a gentleman, but it turned out he was a lothario. Now that he wasn't pretending anymore, he was directly revealing his true nature.

"You... you are lusting after my body, aren't you? You have been staring at me the whole time, from outside all the way to inside. Look, you are still staring at me." Yao Xi looked at Ye Wen with some disdain.

"...Are you going to agree or not? Just say it. If you agree, it's a win-win for us." Ye Wen watched Yao Xi's reaction and asked for her decision.

"I don't agree. Your eyes are not clean. It's a good thing I came to investigate in advance, otherwise, I would have fallen for those old men's trap." After saying this, Yao Xi stood up, prepared to leave.

As for Ye Wen, there would naturally be someone to take him back to the Yaoguang Holy Land.

She had to return to the Holy Land to tell the Holy Lord and the others that she and Ye Wen didn't get along, and request that the Holy Lord reconsider.

Seeing Yao Xi stand up to leave.

A voice sounded in Ye Wen's ear.

"See? I told you, she definitely wouldn't be willing. You kept staring at her and scared her off. Now it's done, she's going to run, and your top-quality cauldron is about to run away." The System's words made Ye Wen's fist clench.

"She won't be able to run. Since that's the case, don't blame me. Although I don't want to force women, she is an exception—she is my wife!" After saying this, Ye Wen quickly appeared behind Yao Xi. Before Yao Xi could react, he directly hugged her, then picked her up and headed into the bedroom.
