140: Chapter 139 The Big Brother is the Big Brother

Xiao Ye spent several consecutive days holed up in his sleeping quarters, enjoying himself immensely while "extracting confessions through torture." Outside, the flames of war raged, but he didn't even bat an eyelid.

The Yao Race from the Southern Border was invading? What was there to fear? The Tianji Holy Land wasn't a pushover either.

The strengths of both sides were evenly matched. Even if the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land really managed to fight its way in, the East Sea would simply have a new Revered Master.

As the saying goes—emperors are like flowing water, but great families are as solid as iron.

The Tianji Holy Land was the "Emperor" of the East Sea, while Great Qian was just a minor family.

Who cared who the Emperor was? As long as he could take concubines, perform Alchemy, and collect Spirit Stones, he would go about his life as usual regardless of who the "Emperor" was.

However—his son and daughter were still acting as little Devil Kings in the Tianji Holy Land.

Xiao Ye squeezed Hu Wei's milky-white breasts and sighed, "So the Tianji Holy Land still has to win, otherwise who will help me look after those two brats?"

Thinking of the glorious achievements of Xiao Xie and Xiao Xiao at the Tianji Holy Land—scamming their Revered Master, roasting Spirit Beasts, and stealing Senior Sisters' clothes—Xiao Ye laughed again. "Those two little rascals could probably give the Yao Race a hard time too. Having them in the Tianji Holy Land counts as a major secret weapon."

Suddenly, Hu Wei glanced back at him. "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ye's train of thought was interrupted. He froze for a moment, then immediately gave himself a slap—not hard, but crisp.

"Damn it, I'm doing serious business! How can I be thinking about my son?" He grinned and replied with two words, full of confidence:

"Doing you."

Before his voice faded, the Dragon Bed let out another overburdened creak, one after another, as if calling for help on behalf of its Revered Master.

After only half a month of Xiao Ye's "interrogation under torture," the five witches agreed to bear Xiao Ye's children.

Xiao Ye was also a reasonable person—since you're all going to have my children, I have to give you a proper status, right?

Thus, on this day, he took six concubines in one go.

You ask why six? Wasn't there still Saintess Ji Fei? He couldn't let her be a mistress while she was pregnant, could he?

When the five witches, dressed in bridal gowns, walked into the wedding hall and saw Saintess Ji Fei also in red wedding attire, standing there with her large belly, they were dumbfounded on the spot.

They thought Xiao Ye had killed Saintess Ji Fei long ago, but it turned out—he had slept with her and even gotten her pregnant!

The five witches looked at each other, the same thought popping into their minds: This dog emperor really doesn't let anyone off!

When the news spread, the entire East Sea was in an uproar.

Meanwhile, the Face of the Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was as black as the bottom of a pot!

Xiao Ye was now somewhat famous in the East Sea Region. Many major powers sent people to congratulate him, and even some Sects that usually didn't interact much sent gifts.

Of course, many people also came to see the spectacle—taking six witches as concubines at once was a rare event that hadn't been seen in hundreds of years.

At the banquet, guests toasted each other and discussed fervently.

"Is Emperor Xiao trying to build a harem of witches?"

"What witches? From now on, call them Imperial Concubines!"

"Right, right, right, Imperial Concubines!"

"Big brother is indeed big brother, he even dares to take in witches!" Zi Youqian sat opposite him, his Face full of admiration, as if he wanted to kneel and beg to be his disciple on the spot.

"Low profile, keep it low profile." Xiao Ye pressed his palm down against the Void Realm, his expression calm and breezy, yet his aura of pretentiousness grew even stronger.

Zi Youqian and Dianshao looked at each other, their eyes red with envy—this feeling, this vibe, it was just right! Big brother was truly big brother; his posturing was perfectly natural and not at all forced.

"Fatty, how's the front line?" Xiao Ye took a sip of wine and asked casually.

Zi Youqian naturally knew what big brother was asking. He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "It's just like that, small skirmishes. Right now, the strongest combat power deployed by both sides is controlled at the Void Refining Stage. Neither side is willing to flip the table first."

He paused and added with a hint of boredom, "The pawns the Ten Thousand Demon Palace placed in the East Sea were completely wiped out by us. Their plan has a huge hole in it. The Heavenly Demon Sacred Land is now in a position where they can't decide whether to fight or not, so they're just stuck in a stalemate."

"Heh—" Xiao Ye laughed. He knew that it wouldn't be so easy for the two major Holy Lands to go into an all-out war. In the end, it would likely be settled by a martial competition to save Face.

"Who told the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to be so careless?" Xiao Ye leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs, shaking his head with no small amount of pride. "Their pawns were exposed early, and nine out of their ten Saints fell into my hands—this blow to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is probably no smaller than losing a battle on the front line."

Zi Youqian nodded vigorously. "Exactly! The Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is probably so angry that his internal cycle is all messed up."

Dianshao silently added from the side, "Big brother, you also conveniently took six of their Saintesses as concubines... The Ten Thousand Demon Palace has completely lost Face."

Xiao Ye laughed loudly and raised his glass. "Come, let's have a drink to the 'contribution' of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace!"

The three clinked glasses and drained them in one gulp.

"Fatty, did you get the ingredients for the Soul Transformation Stage Pill I asked you to prepare?" Xiao Ye put down his glass and looked at Zi Youqian.

"Big brother, I brought them!" Zi Youqian patted his Storage Pouch and took out two jade boxes, handing them over respectfully. "Here, these are the ingredients for two Soul Transformation Stage Pills."

Xiao Ye took the jade boxes, opened them for a quick look, and raised an eyebrow at the fatty. "What, you don't trust big brother's skills? You even prepared two sets for me?"

"No, no, no—" Zi Youqian waved his hands hurriedly, smiling apologetically. "Big brother misunderstood, this is... prepared for the sisters-in-law. There are so many sisters-in-law, how could one set be enough?"

Xiao Ye grinned and didn't call him out. He patted the fatty's shoulder. "You know how to talk. Fine, you guys keep drinking, I'm going to 'refine pills'."

Just as he was about to get up, Dianshao quickly spoke up, "Boss, do you want me to help you out?"

"Help out?" Xiao Ye glanced at him with a half-smile. "I think you want to secretly learn my techniques."

"No, no, no, how could I!" Dianshao waved his hands repeatedly with an innocent look. "Even if I secretly learned them, it would be useless. Our methods are different—I only know how to stir-fry, not how to refine pills."

Xiao Ye thought about it and agreed. This cook's Alchemy relied entirely on tossing a wok, which was completely different from his own way. He nodded. "Fine, let's go. I happen to be missing someone to tend the fire."

Dianshao was overjoyed and followed him eagerly.

Zi Youqian sat where he was, watched their retreating backs, shook his head, and muttered softly, "Tend the fire? That fellow Dianshao is probably going to try and steal some skills... But big brother's stuff isn't that easy to steal, is it?"

He raised his glass, drained it, refilled it for himself, and then proceeded to devour the feast!

One must know that he had given a gift of a full six million Spirit Stones this time; he had to eat back at least some of it!
