191: Chapter 191 uses the destruction of the Hundred Rivers Sacred Academy and a top-grade sacred artifact as betrothal gifts.

Cao Yang carried Empress Lanlan and appeared in the Empress's bedchamber, gently placing Empress Lanlan onto the bed.

His eyes shimmered with tenderness and affection. A small gray cauldron appeared in his hand. This was a High Grade Sacred Artifact named the wuyuan cauldron, the ultimate treasure of the Baichuan Holy Academy.

With a look of deep affection, he said to Empress Lanlan, "Come, Yanran, I heard that this High Grade Sacred Artifact, the wuyuan cauldron, is the ultimate treasure of the Baichuan Holy Academy. I am giving it to you for self-defense."

Empress Lanlan looked at the small cauldron in Cao Yang's hand, and a wave of emotion surged in her heart.

However, she shook her head, indicating her refusal. She said, "Brother Cao, I have already fallen for you, and I am willing to be your Dao Companion. But I already have a treasure, so you should keep this small cauldron."

After speaking, Empress Lanlan did not wait for Cao Yang to respond. She stood up, pulled Cao Yang onto the bed, and pinned him beneath her.

Their faces were perfectly aligned, and their breaths intertwined.

Cao Yang was startled by Empress Lanlan's sudden action, but as an experienced veteran, he immediately reacted, quickly regaining the initiative and launching a counterattack.

Both of them were strong-willed individuals, and their offensive became increasingly fierce; the battle was exceptionally intense.

On the bed, they fully unleashed their inner passion and desires.

Soon, a beautiful melody rang out within the Empress's bedchamber—the sounds Empress Lanlan could not help but emit.

This melody was filled with passion and pleasure, as if recounting the fiery love between them.

As time passed, the melody continued without ceasing, not stopping for a long while.

The entire Empress's bedchamber was immersed in a joyous atmosphere, witnessing the deep bond between the two.

...

Eight hours later.

"Come, baby Yanran, be good. Put away the small cauldron and this First-Tribulation Saint Puppet. Your treasure must not be any sort of protective ultimate treasure, otherwise, you wouldn't have been so severely injured before," Cao Yang said softly, looking at Empress Lanlan with doting eyes.

He knew that Empress Lanlan had always been a strong and independent woman, but now she needed protection.

"Besides, how can the gift I give you be the same as your own?" Cao Yang said with a smile, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

He gently placed the two precious items into Empress Lanlan's hands, as if they were the most valuable Treasure Trove in the world.

Empress Lanlan was slightly stunned, then carefully took the small cauldron and the First-Tribulation Saint Puppet.

She felt Cao Yang's care and affection, and a warmth surged in her heart. She looked at Cao Yang gratefully, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Thank you, Brother Cao..." Empress Lanlan said in a low voice, her tone trembling slightly.

She gripped Cao Yang's hand tightly, feeling his warmth, as if that were the pillar of support in her life. She nudged her little face against Cao Yang's chest like a docile kitten.

Cao Yang gently stroked Empress Lanlan's hair, a smile hanging on the corners of his lips. He kissed Empress Lanlan lightly on the forehead, letting her feel his endless affection.

"By the way, Brother Cao, I heard you say earlier that you destroyed the Baichuan Holy Academy. I want to hear the specific details." Empress Lanlan raised her head, her gaze filled with curiosity.

"Alright, I will tell you whatever you want to hear." Cao Yang nodded with a smile and began to recount that thrilling experience.

In a gentle tone, he described in detail the conflict with the Baichuan Holy Academy, the battle, and the final victory.

"Brother Cao, hearing you say that, did you destroy the Baichuan Holy Academy because of me?" Empress Lanlan's eyes turned red with emotion, and tears swirled in them.

She understood that everything Cao Yang did was for her.

"Yes, baby Yanran, they hurt you, and I will absolutely not let them off!" Cao Yang said firmly, his eyes flashing with fury.

He was willing to give everything for Empress Lanlan, even if it meant facing powerful enemies.

Empress Lanlan was too moved for words; she threw herself into Cao Yang's arms and hugged him tightly.

She knew she had found the person who truly loved her, and this person would always be by her side, protecting her and taking care of her.

"Thank you, Brother Cao. It's so good to have you. I have never felt this at ease." Unknowingly, tears had already streamed down Empress Lanlan's cheeks.

She hugged Cao Yang tightly, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

"Baby, why are you crying?" Cao Yang looked at Empress Lanlan shedding tears, his heart aching uncontrollably.

He gently wiped away the tear stains on Empress Lanlan's face with his hand, his eyes full of concern and affection.

"I am just happy~" Empress Lanlan replied while sobbing, her voice carrying a hint of emotion and joy.

"Brother Cao, I still want more~" Empress Lanlan suddenly acted coquettishly, her eyes revealing a hint of desire.

"Alright, I wasn't fully satisfied just now either, I was afraid you couldn't take it since it was your first time," Cao Yang replied with a smile, his eyes flashing with the light of desire.

"Hmph, who are you looking down on? I am a dignified Empress, and I am already at the Quasi-Saint Realm now," Empress Lanlan said confidently, displaying her powerful strength and status.

As they spoke, the two became intimate again, fully enjoying each other's love and passion.

Their bodies were closely connected, their hearts in sync, together exploring the depths of love.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and onto the bed, waking the two who were fast asleep.

"Baby, seeing that you are still full of energy, I want to entrust you with a task. Are you willing to accept it?" Cao Yang asked softly, his tone revealing his trust and anticipation for Empress Lanlan.

"Brother Cao, tell me what the task is first," Empress Lanlan blinked and asked curiously.

"Well, it's like this: I want you to conquer the entire Divine Realm in the name of our Heavenly Court. You can take half of Hong Yi and the others to help you," Cao Yang said seriously, his eyes shining with determination and confidence.

After hearing this, Empress Lanlan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Brother Cao, I am willing to accept this task! However, why do you want me to conquer the entire Divine Realm?"

Cao Yang smiled and explained: "Because you are my woman and also the future mistress of the Heavenly Court, I hope you can represent our Heavenly Court to conquer the Divine Realm and showcase our strength and majesty. At the same time, this is also a form of training and test for you, to let you grow better and improve your own abilities."

Upon hearing Cao Yang's words, a sense of responsibility and mission surged in Empress Lanlan's heart.

She knew deeply the importance of this task; it not only concerned the reputation and status of the Heavenly Court but also her future with Cao Yang.

Empress Lanlan began to ponder how to take down the Divine Realm as quickly as possible with the least cost.

Although the Baichuan Holy Academy no longer exists in the Divine Realm, the highest Realm among the major forces in each divine domain is only the God Emperor Peak.

However, although she is at the Quasi-Saint Early Stage, she is not good at fighting, and there are many experts among the sisters who are at the Quasi-Saint Peak. Would it be better to let them be the main persons in charge?
