45: The Compromise of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi

"Our deal hasn't even begun, and you're already thinking of leaving?" Seeing that the Yaochi Saintess intended to depart, Ye Wen couldn't help but state his purpose.

"I didn't reveal so many secrets just to surprise you, Young Miss Yaochi; I'm looking for an exchange of equal value." Ye Wen's gaze was fixed on the Yaochi Saintess.

Meanwhile, Yao Xi, Yan Ruyu, Weiwei, and Zixia also reacted.

One by one, they quickly blocked the Yaochi Saintess. If this cooked duck managed to fly away, all their hard work would have been for nothing.

Seeing the women surrounding her, the Yaochi Saintess's face couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"Everyone, rest assured, I won't run away." The Yaochi Saintess slowly sat back down on the sofa.

"Whatever the Saint needs, please speak freely. My Yaochi Holy Land will surely do its utmost to fulfill Your Highness's requests." The Yaochi Saintess looked at Ye Wen, understanding that since he had said so much, he definitely needed something.

"No, no, no." Ye Wen looked at the Yaochi Saintess and shook his head.

"Compared to the Yaochi Holy Land, I care more about you." Ye Wen stood up and approached the Yaochi Saintess, until the distance between them was less than two meters.

At such close proximity, Ye Wen could smell the feminine fragrance coming from her body.

"Yaochi Saintess, let's be honest. I've taken a liking to you. Be my woman. As long as you agree, the information from just now will be a gift to you. I can even help you find your previous generation's Saintess, Yang Yi, once my strength has grown sufficiently."

"The waters in Purple Mountain are very deep. Even if your Yaochi Holy Land knows Yang Yi is inside, you won't be able to find her. Only I, and only I, can find her and bring her out."

"Me?" The Yaochi Saintess looked at Ye Wen in some shock.

"Are you surprised?" Seeing the Yaochi Saintess's shock, Ye Wen smiled and said, "In my heart, you are special. Therefore, for your sake, I can offer very high stakes. The two pieces of information just now were one stake; now let's talk about the second."

"I can protect your path. Behind me stands a true Great Emperor, a living Great Emperor. How is this for a stake?" Ye Wen looked at the Yaochi Saintess after he finished speaking.

At this moment, a massive wave of shock surged within the Yaochi Saintess's heart.

A living Great Emperor? How is that possible!

Yet for some unknown reason, her intuition told her that Ye Wen was telling the truth.

"Why say so much? Actually, the first two pieces of information alone are already enough," Zixia whispered, then looked at the Yaochi Saintess.

"Yaochi Saintess, this man truly has a Great Emperor supporting him. Although his words are true, now that you've heard them, you know what you should know and even what you shouldn't. Do you understand what that means?"

The Yaochi Saintess looked at Zixia; how could she not hear the meaning in Zixia's words?

"I understand what Zixia means, but this matter is of great importance. I still need to confirm it. If it is true..." The Yaochi Saintess looked at Ye Wen and said, "If it is true, I agree to your conditions."

Hearing Yaochi's answer, Ye Wen couldn't help but clap his hands and say, "As expected of the Yaochi Saintess, you are more straightforward than others. However, I wonder which piece of information you wish to verify."

Ye Wen looked at Yaochi, awaiting her answer.

"I want to know which Great Emperor is behind you. Among the living Great Emperors, the most recent was the Azure Emperor. Could it be that the Azure Emperor is still around?" The Yaochi Saintess looked toward Yan Ruyu.

"My ancestor should no longer be with us." Yan Ruyu looked at Yaochi, understanding her implication.

"You want to know the Great Emperor behind me? Are you sure?" Ye Wen was somewhat surprised by the Yaochi Saintess's answer.

"Yes." The Yaochi Saintess nodded.

If she could know which Great Emperor was behind Ye Wen, she could weigh many decisions.

Seeing her so certain, Ye Wen didn't hide much and said, "The Great Emperor behind me comes from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone. That is all I can say." Ye Wen didn't say the name, but mentioning the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, he assumed the Yaochi Saintess would understand.

Sure enough, upon hearing 'Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone', the Yaochi Saintess's expression became solemn.

"That person is actually still there... Her existence has spanned millions of years. I didn't expect... she was still alive." The Yaochi Saintess was shocked by Ye Wen's confirmation.

"She intends to achieve Immortal Ascension in the Mortal World and has already lived through her fifth life. It's just that she is currently at a critical moment and cannot wake up yet." Ye Wen didn't hide much either.

The more he said and the more the Yaochi Saintess knew, the more impossible it would be for her to escape.

Hearing Ye Wen's words, a smile tugged at the Yaochi Saintess's face as she said, "You've even told me such important information; it seems I really can't escape." The Yaochi Saintess's self-deprecation made the surrounding women nod in unison.

"You indeed cannot escape. You know even more than that girl from the Ji Family. Therefore, from the moment you entered, you've had only one choice: to join us. That way, we're all on the same side, and there's no need to worry about you leaking anything." Yan Ruyu stood up and spoke to the Yaochi Saintess.

"On the same side?" The Yaochi Saintess looked at Yan Ruyu, Yao Xi, Weiwei, and Zixia, and said softly, "In other words, you all have already become the Saint's people?"

"No wonder when I first saw you, I noticed the aura emanating from your bodies was different from ours. So that's why." The Yaochi Saintess's words did not surprise the women.

"We knew we couldn't hide it from you. Conversely, you are also very clever. From the moment you entered, your heart has been very calm, as if you weren't surprised by the Saint's appearance at all."

Listening to Yao Xi's words, Yaochi smiled and said, "None of you are virgins anymore, and you've all gathered around one man. Based on the commotion in the Yan State not long ago, I guessed a fair bit."

At this point, the Yaochi Saintess looked at Ye Wen and said, "Your Physique is the Yin-Yang Physique; that's why you're looking for so many women, right? It's just that I remember the records stating that the Yin-Yang Physique can only choose three companions in a lifetime, yet you now... there are already four that I can see."

"And there's another one who isn't here, which means there are already five women by your side. Even so, you continue to look for more... Then there is only one answer: your Physique isn't the so-called Yin-Yang Physique, but the Pure Yang Physique?"

Listening to Yaochi's words, Ye Wen couldn't help but smile.

"The Pure Yang Physique? It is and it isn't. I didn't expect you to guess so many clues based solely on the information you gathered in the Yan State. Indeed, choosing you was the right decision."

"If you want to know what my Physique is, won't you know once you experience it for yourself?" After saying this, his gaze fixed onto the Yaochi Saintess.

Hearing Ye Wen's words, a blush appeared on the Yaochi Saintess's face as she said, "Experience it myself? That's quite a good answer." The Yaochi Saintess understood that she could not escape.

Knowing so much shocking information, coupled with Ye Wen's determination.

The Yaochi Saintess understood that she had only one choice left: to agree to Ye Wen.

After thinking for a moment, the Yaochi Saintess looked up with a smile and said, "Fine, Saint Your Highness, I agree to become your Dao Companion. However, afterwards, please allow me to return; I still need to go back to Yaochi to inform the Holy Lord."

Having said that, the Yaochi Saintess took the initiative to shed her clothes in front of the women.
