68: Chapter 68: Extreme flattery, I will never dirty the hands of the divine child!
The first ray of morning sunlight passed through the window lattice, casting itself diagonally into the extremely luxurious bedchamber.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body.
Every cell in his body was cheering, greedily devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Half-step Quasi-Saint!
It had to be said, although Ye Yanran was not very bright, her body was truly a great supplement.
Coupled with the fact that she was the heroine favored by the Luck of this world, this night of Dual Cultivation was worth a hundred years of bitter cultivation for others.
"Your Highness... are you awake?"
A voice, slightly lazy yet still striving to sound sweet, rang in his ear.
Ye Yanran stood obediently like an obedient little cat.
She was not wearing a stitch of clothing, only draped in a thin layer of gauze.
Her body was covered in red marks left by the storm of the previous night.
Those were marks of humiliation, and also the pledge of allegiance she submitted to Qin Yu.
At this moment, where was even a trace of the arrogance of the Ye family goddess from the past?
The ice-cold beauty who always held her chin high and wore a cold expression was now humbly holding a basin of face-washing water.
The water temperature was just right; evidently, she had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hmm."
Qin Yu responded casually, not feeling a shred of warmth for this woman because of the pleasure of last night.
That tone was as if he were responding to a disposable item that he hadn't yet thrown away after using.
Ye Yanran keenly sensed this coldness.
Her heart trembled, but not only did she not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, she bent her waist even lower instead.
She knew very well that Ye Chen was already finished.
That former spare tire was completely done for, without even the value of being patched up.
If she didn't hold tight to the thigh of this Dragon before her, the Ye Family would not hesitate to discard her like trash.
"Your Highness, this servant girl will help you dress."
Ye Yanran put down the copper basin and nimbly helped Qin Yu dress.
Every movement of hers was cautious, for fear of wrinkling the expensive God-Silk robe.
"Good technique."
Qin Yu looked at himself in the mirror and praised casually:
"Much better than that trash Ye Chen."
At the mention of Ye Chen, Ye Yanran's hand visibly stiffened, but only for an instant.
The next second, she raised her head with a fawning smile on her face:
"Your Highness is joking."
"That rat in the sewer, how is he worthy of being mentioned alongside Your Highness?"
"His name is not worthy of being spoken by Your Highness."
Ruthless.
This woman was truly ruthless to the bone towards her nominal husband.
Qin Yu was not repulsed by this. On the contrary, he appreciated this kind of pure evil. People without a bottom line were the easiest to utilize.
"Let's go."
Qin Yu turned around, his wide black sleeves fluttering as he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back:
"Let's go see how your ex-husband is doing."
"Didn't toss him to death yesterday, did you?"
"This Divine Son's eternal night soul ruins banner is just missing a main ingredient."
Hearing this, Ye Yanran hurriedly followed behind, lifting her skirt, following his every step.
On the other side, the Ye Family, main hall square.
Today, the square was not decorated with lanterns and festoons; instead, it exuded a murderous aura that made one's scalp tingle.
The festive red lanterns from last night had long been dismantled.
The flowers and red carpets used for the celebration on the ground were also gone.
Replacing them were the Qin Family's Heaven-Suppressing Guards, standing solemnly in black armor.
And in the center of the square, Ye Chen was thrown on the ground like a piece of air-dried bacon.
He no longer had the high spirits of the God King's return from yesterday.
His bones were shattered, and his whole body was limp in a heap.
That God King blood, which originally flowed with brilliant golden radiance, had now turned dull and black, dried on the surface of his skin.
If it weren't for the extremely faint rise and fall of his chest, anyone would think this was already a corpse.
Surrounding Ye Chen was a circle of Ye Family high-ranking officials.
The Old Ancestor of the Ye Family, Ye Wentian, the Ye Family Head, Ye Shan, and those Elders who were usually high and mighty.
At this moment, they were all shrinking their necks, their expressions uglier than crying.
Seeing Qin Yu's figure appear on the steps, Clatter!
This group of people had weak knees and fell to their knees in a large group.
Their movements were uniform and synchronized, with great tacit understanding.
"Greetings, Your Highness!!"
Everyone's voices were loud, but they betrayed an uncontrollable trembling.
Qin Yu did not respond, only sitting on the high seat with an indifferent expression.
Li Yuan appeared behind him like a shadow.
Ye Yanran knelt obediently at his feet, gently pounding his legs.
"Old Ancestor of the Ye Family!"
Qin Yu tapped his fingers on the armrest, emitting a series of sounds.
Each tap was like striking the hearts of the Ye Family members.
"Looking at your posture of the whole clan coming out..."
"Are you preparing to see This Divine Son off?"
"Or are you preparing to risk your lives against This Divine Son?"
With one sentence, the Old Ancestor of the Ye Family was scared into Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
This old Saint who had lived for over a thousand years was scared out of his wits.
He scrambled to the bottom of the steps, banging his head on the bluestone slab with a thud.
"My Ye family's loyalty to Your Highness is witnessed by Heaven and Earth, and verified by the sun and moon!"
"Yesterday, this unfilial descendant did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, and offended Your Highness."
"He even disturbed the good deed of Your Highness and Yanran."
Speaking of this, the Old Ancestor of the Ye Family did not even blush, directly ignoring the half-dead Ye Chen beside him.
"This old one is terrified and called a clan meeting overnight."
"These are all the secret keys to my Ye family's treasure pavilion, and this is the resource ledger of my Ye family for the past thirty thousand years!"
"And this..."
The Old Ancestor of the Ye Family held up a jade box with trembling hands, raising it above his head:
"This is the Legacy treasure of my Ye family, a corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern left by Emperor Ye."
"Please, Your Highness, accept it with a smile!"
"Only begging Your Highness to show mercy and spare my Ye family's young and old. We are willing to be beasts of burden for Your Highness and serve the Qin Family for generations!!"
It had to be said, this pledge of allegiance was indeed heavy.
The foundation of an Emperor Clan, even if it had declined, was still an astronomical figure.
Not to mention Emperor Ye's Great Emperor array pattern. That was a good thing that countless people would break their heads to get.
Qin Yu's eyes drooped slightly, his gaze sweeping over those so-called treasures.
"Is this your sincerity?"
His tone could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
"This... yes, yes!"
The Old Ancestor of the Ye Family was sweating profusely, his heart raised to his throat.
"Not bad, quite sensible."
Qin Yu beckoned, and Li Yuan immediately stepped forward to collect all those things.
Seeing Qin Yu accept the things, the Ye family members all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Ye Shan.
This Ye Family Head wiped away cold sweat and pointed at Ye Chen on the ground, asking fawningly:
"Your Highness, then how should this unfilial descendant... be disposed of?"
"Do you want to execute him by lingchi, or throw him into the Demon Refining Pot to refine him into pus?"
"As long as Your Highness says the word, I, Ye, will do it myself, never dirtying Your Highness's hands!"
