Maybe in the past he would’ve been a little restless, maybe a little interested in Feifei, but now, after dealing with so many Beast Girls and Divine Spirits, his immunity to won had skyrocketed.
At this point, Xiao Ye could be described as "calm as a mountain before an avalanche, unmoved even if a drop-dead gorgeous woman did a striptease right in front of him."
What surprised him, though, was why the Ti Empress wanted to be his wife too.
Earlier, when the Ti Empress acted like she wanted to offer herself to him, he could tell she was sincere—she genuinely wanted to beco his wife.
*But why?*
*In his past life, there were gold-diggers; in this life, there were status-chasers?*
*So, was the Ti Empress a status-chaser?*
Right now, he was the strongest on Blue Star, the top dog of the Beast Hunting Star Domain, the one holding all the cards on Blue Star—the absolute pinnacle.
Backed by his grandpa, the Elder and director of the Condensed Body Institute, who was basically the embodint of the universe’s great will—his background was crazy impressive too.
But—
Co on, the Ti Empress was one of Blue Star’s ancient Divine Spirits, aloof from the mundane, standing above the common world, untainted by worldly filth; her character and worldview shouldn’t be that secular, that shallow, right?
The Ti Empress looked similar to Mu Qingxue, but their temperants were quite different.
Even after Mu Qingxue advanced to the Sovereign Realm, she still had that proud, spoiled heiress vibe—the classic little princess attitude.
The Ti Empress, on the other hand, was ethereal and elusive, like a goddess who could only be admired from afar, impossible to desecrate.
Xiao Ye sank into thought in the living room; anwhile, in the bathroom, the Ti Empress had finished bathing and stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror, staring blankly at her slender, snowy body.
Her skin was smooth as cream, her bones icy and jade-like.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and in those pure, limpid eyes, there was a heavy hint of sadness.
Her delicate Liu i eyebrows furrowed slightly, a light lancholy rising within her, her expression fragile and pitiful—she looked like soone you’d want to scoop up and comfort tenderly in your arms.
"Sigh, the Human Emperor has no interest in at all—what should I do?"
"The Ancestral Empress already beca the Human Emperor’s wife; I’m guessing he’s not interested in Divine Spirits anymore."
She carelessly wrapped a fluffy white towel around herself, revealing her delicate, pale shoulders and a pair of long, shapely, luscious legs.
She padded barefoot to the living room, standing prettily in front of Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye said with a slight smile, "All done? Then let’s get started."
"Body Transformation, Seed-Within-Self, Cosmic Holy Spirit Technique!"
"After the transformation, your Mythical Talent will still be there, but your rule will, uh, be turned into a Soul Body, independent from both the Rule Origin and Blue Star."
The Ti Empress nodded and followed Xiao Ye into the bedroom.
The bedroom was decorated in a fresh, elegant style—bed, curtains, wardrobe, vanity, all neatly arranged in their spots.
Xiao Ye smiled,
"You’ve been frowning—got sothing on your mind? Maybe talk to about it. I might be able to help."
"While we’re transforming your body, you need to keep your emotions steady, or the results might not be so great."
The Ti Empress shook out her long, jet-black hair—fragrant and silky—letting it spill over her delicate, pale shoulders and jade-like back.
She dropped her towel, laying her soft, curvy body bare to Xiao Ye’s gaze.
Then she lay down with elegance and grace.
She said sadly, "Lately I’ve wanted to marry soone, but that idiot just doesn’t get it, keeps turning down again and again."
"Human Emperor, how do I win him over? What can I do to earn his affection?"
"Gulp!" Xiao Ye suddenly realized he really couldn’t stay unmoved by a beauty, not in a mont like this—*damn, his heart was definitely not calm right now.*
The words of the Ti Empress, combined with the gorgeous scenery before him, *really did stir him up.*
*Wasn’t this basically a confession?*
"Ahem!"
Xiao Ye pretended to be surprised, "Ti Empress, who do you want to marry?"
He suspected she was talking about him, Xiao Ye, but he wasn’t totally sure.
The Ti Empress blushed, looking like a shy teenage girl, and said softly,
"That person is as far as the horizon, but right in front of my eyes."
"I’ve totally bared myself to him, but he just doesn’t care at all."
"Sigh, since when did I—Ti Empress—lose all my charm?"
Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank.
*The person the Ti Empress was talking about was really him—Xiao Ye!*
Xiao Ye openly looked at the Ti Empress; she didn’t stop him, and he asked, probing,
"Ti Empress, why do you want to marry that guy? Do you like him, or are you just after his looks, or maybe you want so kind of benefit and you’re trading your body—and your whole life—for it?"
As he studied every detail of the Ti Empress, it suddenly hit him: the Ti Empress and Mu Qingxue weren’t identical, there were still differences in the details of their bodies.
Especially that kind of ethereal, otherworldly vibe—it just drew people in.
The Ti Empress froze when she heard that.
*Did she like the Human Emperor? She didn’t know what liking even ant—maybe yes, maybe no.*
But being a sucker for his face? She shook her head—she definitely wasn’t a face-chaser.
So if it wasn’t those two, there was only one answer left.
The Ti Empress answered cheerfully,
"? I’m after his future."
"He’s got such a bright future—he can take his whole family to new heights. I want to soar, rise among the clouds, look down upon the brilliance of the universe, and feel what it’s like to have everything beneath ."
"But I’ll only ever recognize one man in my lifeti—I’m not gonna change my star-chasing target today and switch to a new one tomorrow. Now that I’ve set my sights on soone, I won’t ever change."
"Even if his future turns out to be way less than I imagined, even if he falls down and fails, I’ll still stick by him, no matter what."
In the Ti Empress’s mind, admiring strength wasn’t sothing low-class, or tacky, or embarrassing at all.
She wouldn’t hide it—admire the strong? Sure. Cling to a powerhouse? Absolutely. She wasn’t going to beat around the bush.
After saying all this, the Ti Empress looked way more relaxed, and most of the worry in her heart lted away.
Xiao Ye’s face darkened, though.
*How was this any different from a gold-digger?*
Except, this gold-digger was a virgin—one who’d only ever recognize a single man in her whole life.
But at the end of the day, still a gold-digger!
Xiao Ye had always had pretty crappy feelings toward gold-diggers.
"Let’s start the body transformation."
"I need to run through your exclusive Massage Transformation Secret Technique in my mind first, so I’ll need to observe you—hope you don’t mind."
His eyes, bright as stars, scanned up and down the Ti Empress’s body.
That look—it was like a pair of big hands, carefully exploring her every inch.
The Ti Empress didn’t feel awkward or embarrassed at all; she’d already decided that the Human Emperor was the one—whether or not he married her, she’d only ever belong to him.
So, she just went for it—did a splits pose, letting the Human Emperor admire her to his heart’s content and focus on studying the technique.
After the split, she switched to a starfish pose.
After the starfish, she went for the full five-point prostration...
Xiao Ye’s stare went blank.
Shit, what was the Ti Empress doing, *dancing?*
Minute by minute, Xiao Ye stood nearby, half enjoying the show, half practicing the Ti Empress’s exclusive Body Transformation Massage Secret Technique he’d extracted from the Template Adjuster in his mind.
The Ti Empress kept striking one pose after another, showing herself off without holding back, trying to make sure Xiao Ye understood every inch of her.
After half an hour, Xiao Ye said,
"Stop, that’s good, the technique’s all morized—ti to get hands-on!"
The Ti Empress and Mu Qingxue really weren’t the sa—Mu Qingxue wouldn’t dare do any of that. The two of them were totally different!
