CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 422: HANG CITY EMPRESS! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

Xiao Ye pointed at the buns and soy milk on the table, and said, "Sister Ziran, let’s eat together."

Ziran shook her head, "No, I’ll just watch you eat."

Xiao Ye laughed and said, "Then I want some imported breakfast."

Yunxi replied with her cool voice, "Buns aren’t imported, you really need to go abroad just for breakfast?"

"Our Dragon Country is vast and rich in resources, we have tons of good food, just eat our own stuff."

Xiao Ye waggled his index finger, "No, no, no, this ’imported’ is not that ’imported.’"

Ziran heard this for the first time too and looked genuinely surprised, pouting as she said, "Come on, Xiao Ye, what kind of imported breakfast, just spill it, there’s no way we can guess."

Xiao Ye leaned in close to the two girls and whispered a few words.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" In an instant, the two girls’ eyes, pure as autumn waters, widened, and their pretty cheeks flushed pink.

"So that’s what you meant by ’imported!’"

"Xiao Ye, you really are something!"

Ziran and Yunxi said with mock annoyance.

The two girls exchanged a glance, and both stuffed buns into their rosy little mouths, then, with their buns in their mouths, scooted close to Xiao Ye.

"Mmm! Here comes the imported breakfast."

"Xiao Ye, we’re giving you what you wanted."

"Uh, what the—?" Xiao Ye looked at the two gorgeous faces getting closer and closer, suddenly feeling a bit at a loss for what to do.

"How about one at a time? I can’t eat both at once!"

But Ziran and Yunxi showed no sign of stopping and pressed right up to him.

Xiao Ye reacted fast—he first took a bite of Ziran’s ’imported’ bun, then bit Yunxi’s, then pulled the now-soft girls into his arms.

"Mm, delicious! So, so good."

With Ziran in his left arm and Yunxi in his right, Xiao Ye definitely enjoyed his meal.

"This imported breakfast really is different, way tastier than a normal one. It’s just awesome."

Ziran rolled her eyes, "You bit my lip! That hurt!"

Yunxi still wasn’t quite used to this; she’d never been this close to Xiao Ye before. Her pretty face was all flushed as she finished off the half-bitten bun.

Xiao Ye laid back lazily on the sofa and drawled, "I’m thirsty now."

Ziran’s eyes widened, "You want your soy milk imported too?"

She exchanged a glance with Yunxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you should do it this time."

"You do it, Ziran, feeding him soy milk is way too embarrassing." Yunxi answered.

Xiao Ye saw them bickering and simply decided to go on the offensive, grinning slyly as he said, "Well, since neither of you is stepping up, guess I will."

He took a sip of soy milk and pressed up against Ziran.

The taste was slightly sweet.

After two seconds, he pressed up to Yunxi.

The taste was pure and sweet.

Ziran and Yunxi both ended up with a big mouthful and gulped it down.

Xiao Ye laughed and said, "Taste sweet?"

The two of them were beaming inside, eyes lighting up as they exclaimed, "Sweet!"

"Even sweeter now!"

Xiao Ye nodded with satisfaction. The soy milk was sweet, sure, but that was just the taste—*nothing could compare to that sweetness in his heart.*

Ziran smacked her lips, her pure and pretty face splitting into a big smile, "I want more!"

Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t hold back her joy, and said, "Me too."

Xiao Ye lounged lazily on the couch, arms spread, mouth open as he said,

"I don’t want to move, you two figure it out."

Ziran and Yunxi exchanged another glance and both rushed to say, "I’ll do it."

"Me first!"

The girls were so eager, they grabbed the soy milk off the table and started drinking.

Next, Xiao Ye drank the girls’ imported beverage.

After eating and drinking their fill,

Yunxi said a little reluctantly, "Xiao Ye, Ziran, how long will it take you in Hang City Base City?"

She had just gotten together with Xiao Ye yesterday, and today they had to part. *She felt a surge of intense longing and reluctance inside.*

Ziran counted on her fingers and thought for a moment, then said,

"Not sure, maybe a day or two, maybe a month or two."

"I need to gather my template’s upgrade materials, and I also have to hunt Demon Beasts to get a Venerable Crystal Core."

"Two hundred Venerable Crystal Cores, that could take a few days."

"Plus, we have to visit the Hang City Empress, catch up, go shopping, and just have some fun for a few days too."

"All in all, it might take half a month—or even a month."

Xiao Ye pinched Yunxi’s cool, beautiful face and laughed, "You could come with us, you know."

"You all said the Hang City Empress is your good friend—come see her together."

Yunxi shook her head, "I have to stay and protect your Beast Girls, guard Kunpeng Academy. When Xiaobing’s cultivating, she can’t watch over everything."

"Ziran is a Saint Realm too; you’ll be safe with her."

*Xiao Ye felt touched, surprised Yunxi had thought about it so much and taken the initiative to protect everyone.*

*With a wife like this, what more could I possibly want?*

He immediately promised, "When I’m back, we’ll have our wedding, make our contract official, be true husband and wife."

Yunxi nodded her little head like a bobblehead, "Mm-hmm, I’ll be waiting for you!"

Right then, a tall, white-haired maiden ran in from the doorway, hands on her hips as she huffed and said,

"Xiao Ye, last time at your wedding you married two Beast Girls—how about two more at your next wedding?"

Yunxi burst out laughing, "There aren’t that many Beast Girls!"

Xiao Ye thought Huangfu Xiangling was pretty funny, and said with a laugh, "And where’s the other Beast Girl?"

The white-haired maiden suddenly looked down, shy pink blossoming on her pretty face, "Far away and yet right in front of you!"

Xiao Ye blinked, "You want to marry me too?"

The white-haired maiden nodded firmly, "Yeah... "

She didn’t even finish her sentence before Ziran grabbed her by the neck and threw her out of the villa.

Ziran huffed, "You little brat, go play somewhere! Don’t get any funny ideas. Since when does a disciple marry the same person as her master?"

The white-haired beauty rubbed her sore butt in mock misery and grumbled, "Master, you’re too selfish! I hate you!"

With that, she ran away, eyes rimmed red.

Xiao Ye and Yunxi fell silent.

Ziran just shrugged it off and laughed, "Don’t worry about her, she’s just a kid. Her mood comes and goes in a flash."

"Anyway, Xiao Ye, time for us to head out."

She tore open a rift in space and went in with Xiao Ye, traversing the void toward the coordinates of Hang City Base City.

Meanwhile,

outside the towering steel walls of Hang City Base City,

the city gates opened. Squads of Contractor Warriors, exuding a bloody aura, followed an Empress whose mere gestures could shake the heavens. That gorgeous, awe-inspiring woman led them inside the city walls.

Along the city streets, crowds—all residents of Hang City Base City—gathered and pressed close on both sides.

Respect on their faces, they called out together,

"Welcome back, Empress, in triumph!"

"Empress, you are our goddess!"

"Only our Empress could slay a Holy Realm Beast King in one move!"

Hearing the cheers and support from both sides of the wide avenue, the Empress—with tens of thousands of Contractor Warriors behind her—let a smile slip across her dignified, beautiful face. Her cape flapped dramatically in the wind.

She wore silver battle armor and a silver helmet. She was five-foot-nine, tall and slender, with killer curves and an absolutely stunning face.
