227: Chapter 227 Traitors and Scoundrels

Seventy years later.

"Young Master, what do you think of this tea's taste?" Mei Yelan carefully brewed a cup of tea for Cao Yang, her movements gentle.

"Not bad. Yelan, your tea-brewing skills are getting better and better. You've worked hard these past few days, constantly coming to brew tea for me," Cao Yang said with a satisfied smile.

He looked at the beautiful young woman, a seductive mature beauty, busy at his side.

Two black and red charm horns, an exquisite face, a voluptuous figure, and full of charm.

Coupled with her endless gentleness and the seductive aura she constantly emitted, Cao Yang's favor toward her also increased greatly.

"It's not hard. If the Young Master hadn't rescued me from the Demon Sealing Cave, I would have already perished," Mei Yelan said, her face as gentle as water, emitting an endless seductive aura, though it unfortunately had no effect on Cao Yang.

She gently picked up the teacup, brought it to Cao Yang's lips, and whispered, "Young Master, please have some tea."

Cao Yang took the teacup, took a light sip, felt the tea fragrance spread in his mouth, and praised, "It truly is good tea."

He looked at Mei Yelan, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and said, "Yelan, your tea arts are becoming more and more exquisite. You surprise me every time."

Mei Yelan smiled, her eyes full of tenderness, and said, "As long as the Young Master likes it, I am willing to do anything for the Young Master."

Her voice was like heavenly music, making one intoxicated.

A surge of warmth rose in Cao Yang's heart. He reached out and gently stroked Mei Yelan's cheek, saying, "Yelan, thank you."

Mei Yelan lowered her head slightly, a blush appearing on her face as she said shyly, "Young Master..."

Their gazes met, as if time had stopped, and the surrounding air became ambiguous.

Cao Yang took a deep breath, breaking the silence, and said, "Yelan, thanks to your company by my side during this time, I've felt the warmth of home."

Mei Yelan looked up, tears shimmering in her eyes, and said, "Young Master, I am also very grateful to you. You gave me a second life."

"I have already decided that I will spend the rest of my life taking care of the Young Master and Xiao You to repay your life-saving grace, and also to watch Xiao You live a happy life," Mei Yelan finished, her face flushing slightly like a ripe apple, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Her eyes sparkled with a firm light, as if she had already decided on her future direction.

However, Cao Yang shook his head gently, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "But, Yelan, you are still young and your lifespan is endless. Won't you look for another Dao Companion?"

His voice carried concern, as if he hoped Mei Yelan could find her own happiness.

Cao Yang smiled slightly and said softly, "I believe you've seen that the Heavenly Court has as many experts as a sea of stars recently. Now, even Golden Immortals can't enter the Heavenly Court, and those in the God Realm are everywhere. Is there really no one who catches your eye?"

Mei Yelan smiled, the corners of her mouth curving up. "The Young Master is joking. Those people are all power-hungry individuals; I naturally have no interest in them. I would rather stay by Xiao You and the Young Master's side forever."

Mei Yelan thought to herself that she was a woman living in the Empress Palace; those people didn't even dare to look up at her, let alone anything else.

Her gaze revealed a sense of confidence and pride, as if telling Cao Yang that she didn't need to rely on others to find happiness.

She only wanted to accompany Xiao You and Cao Yang, guarding this relationship in her own way.

And for some reason, after meeting Cao Yang, she could no longer take an interest in other men.

Perhaps it was because of the unique temperament Cao Yang possessed, or perhaps because there was a special fate between them.

In short, Mei Yelan's heart had been deeply attracted by Cao Yang, and she could no longer leave him.

Cao Yang suddenly reached out and pulled the beautiful succubus into his arms, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Then, are you not interested in me either?"

After saying that, he didn't forget to blow a puff of warm air into Mei Yelan's ear.

Mei Yelan's body stiffened suddenly, and her pretty face quickly turned a bashful red.

She stammered in reply, "No... it's not like that."

"Not like what?" Cao Yang pressed.

Mei Yelan lowered her head and said shyly, "In my heart, the Young Master is naturally the most perfect man in the world. I am no longer a pure woman and dare not have too many extravagant hopes. I am already very satisfied just being able to serve the Young Master by his side."

One had to admit that as a mature woman, although Mei Yelan's face flushed with shyness, she quickly regained her composure.

However, Cao Yang shook his head and said, "No, if you want to accompany me forever, then you must become my Dao Companion. Because next, we have to face an even longer journey and ascend to higher-level planes. Without my help, with your cultivation base, you won't be able to keep up with our pace and move forward together."

Hearing Cao Yang's words, a hint of gloom and disappointment flashed in Mei Yelan's eyes.

Could it be that she could no longer continue to accompany her daughter? This made her feel incomparable pain and helplessness.

"But I am already a married woman and am not worthy of being the Young Master's Dao Companion," Mei Yelan said, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

This tear seemed to carry the pain and helplessness deep within her heart.

Cao Yang reached out and gently wiped away the tear stains from the corners of Mei Yelan's eyes, his movements gentle and delicate.

Then he said softly, "I never said you were unworthy of being my Dao Companion. Why are you crying?"

Mei Yelan looked up slightly, tears shimmering in her eyes. She seemed to have more to say, but was interrupted by Cao Yang.

Cao Yang directly blocked Mei Yelan's cherry-like lips with his own, warmth and tenderness passing between their lips and teeth.

This kiss was full of love and determination, making Mei Yelan feel Cao Yang's deep affection for her.

After a long time, the two separated, their gazes meeting as if time itself had stopped.

Cao Yang looked straight at Mei Yelan and said firmly, "Lan'er, if I say you are worthy, then you are worthy."

After saying that, Cao Yang kissed her again, this kiss more passionate and deeper than before.

He stood up, held Mei Yelan tightly in his arms, and walked toward the large bed behind them.

Every step seemed so firm, as if he wanted to prove his promise through action.

As their figures appeared on the bed, the room was filled with a thick atmosphere of love and happiness.

...

"It's so big, husband, be gentler~"

Ten days later.

Cao Yang lay on the large bed with a joyful expression, a satisfied smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

He sighed inwardly; as expected of a mature beauty, one is worth two!

Although he had exchanged the Primordial Succubus Physique for Mei Yelan and raised her cultivation base to the Peak of the Eight-Tribulation Saint, this was only part of the guarantee of happiness.

More importantly, Mei Yelan possessed rich knowledge and powerful strength.

Cao Yang looked gently at the beautiful woman sleeping sweetly beside him, then gently kissed her on the forehead. Then, he quietly got up and left the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

"Ding! Congratulations Master on successfully taking down a mature beauty for the first time. You have received 2 million sign-in attempts." The System's voice suddenly rang in Cao Yang's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations Master on obtaining the honorary title 'Treacherous Subject'." The System continued.

"Ding! Treacherous Subject honorary title: Can make exquisite married women fall in love with the Master the first time they see him, meaning the initial favorability is 85. At the same time, it makes it easier for the Heavenly Dao and those of destiny to develop hostility toward the host. The right to interpret the definition of 'exquisite' belongs to the System." The System explained in detail.

Hearing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud. This System really knew how to have fun.

However, such a setting was quite interesting and could bring him more fun and challenges.
