"Fantasy: The Immortal Son of Longevity, Who Needs to Break Off an Engagement or Harvest Bones to Attain the Dao! - Chapter 6: The Empress Bathes, ..."

Chapter 6: The Empress Bathes, So Much Water Here!

Heavenly Xuan Dao State, Ancient Phoenix Imperial Palace.

Ye Xiao descended from the sky, landing before the imperial palace. He gestured for the two immortal guards to remain silent.

After activating the Cosmic Concealment Technique to mask his presence, he stepped into the palace.

At this moment, the palace was filled with swirling spiritual mist and radiant divine light. The sound of flowing water echoed continuously, evoking vivid imaginations.

"Splash... splash..."

"So much water..."

Ye Xiao's expression froze as realization dawned in his eyes.

Judging by the spiritual aura in the hall, Gu Mingyue was likely... bathing? Cleansing her bones and marrow?

This couldn't be better!

Ye Xiao entered the main hall, bypassed a screen, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

There, behind the screen, was a flawless, snow-white figure leaning against a jade spiritual pool. She occasionally raised her jade-like arms, scattering droplets of spiritual liquid.

Her jet-black hair was tied atop her head, accentuating her long, slender neck. Her delicate, snow-white back glistened under the liquid, slightly reddened and radiating a soft, glowing light.

She lazily raised her arm, the liquid tracing along her high, delicate collarbone, dripping into the pool and creating ripples.

Even Ye Xiao hesitated to disturb the scene, quietly standing in the hall to admire this breathtaking sight.

A little higher, yes, sit up a bit more...

"Hah."

Finally, Gu Mingyue slowly straightened her body, stretching her waist. Her perfectly rounded curves gradually emerged from the water, swaying gently, their contours stunning enough to make Ye Xiao's breath hitch.

"Hmm?"

Gu Mingyue's face froze as she abruptly turned to look at the white-robed figure standing in the hall. Her eyes narrowed sharply.

"Ye Xiao!!"

With a startled cry, Gu Mingyue began to rise but then paused, her cheeks flushing red. "When did you arrive?!"

"I've been here for a while."

Ye Xiao let out an appreciative whistle, openly admiring Gu Mingyue. "I saw that you were cleansing your bones and marrow, so I didn't want to disturb your cultivation."

"You!! Shameless..."

Gu Mingyue clenched her teeth tightly, too embarrassed to move. She hid herself in the water, only her head visible, looking somewhat playful and adorable.

Ye Xiao, are you really unwilling to disturb my cultivation?

"Oh, right."

Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something and retrieved a golden silk soft armor from his interspatial ring, placing it beside the spiritual pool. "This sacred-grade soft armor has astonishing defensive power. Since you've lost your cultivation, put it on later."

"Hmm?"

Gu Mingyue's expression froze, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at Ye Xiao.

Since when had he become so considerate?

Was this still the same ruthless, self-serving devil Ye Xiao she remembered?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for gifting the Destined Woman a sacred-grade armor. Reward received: Supreme Starlight Robe (Supreme-grade artifact).]

"Mingyue, focus on your cultivation. I'll visit you again later."

Before Gu Mingyue could recover from her astonishment, Ye Xiao had already turned and walked toward the exit.

"Oh, since you enjoy bathing so much, my family has a wonderful place. When you have time to visit, I'll personally take you there."

Dear baby, remember—if sincere affection can't get you in, let treasures do the work.

Ye Xiao believed that with his persistent and high-frequency output, Gu Mingyue's Dao heart would eventually waver.

"Ye Xiao!!"

It wasn't until Ye Xiao's presence completely vanished that Gu Mingyue grabbed a plain white robe from a nearby rack, wrapped it around herself, and stepped out of the pool.

Looking down at the golden silk armor in her hand, her confusion deepened.

A single sacred-grade artifact was already considered an extraordinary boon.

Yet Ye Xiao had casually gifted it to her without asking for anything in return.

What exactly was he planning...?

"Hum."

Meanwhile, after leaving the Ancient Phoenix Imperial Palace, streaks of star-like spiritual patterns lit up around Ye Xiao, ancient and mysterious, gradually forming into a pristine white robe.

With this Supreme Robe, Ye Xiao was confident that even experts at the Cave Void or Path Severing realms would find it difficult to harm him.

"No, I can't afford to be careless. I need to prepare further in other ways."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xiao looked at a manual for the Soaring Dragon Movement Technique in his hand and revealed a sinister smile.

"Hum."

At that moment, a small figure suddenly darted out from the forest ahead, leaping directly into Ye Xiao's arms.

Instantly, Ye Xiao felt an overwhelming softness collide with his chest, rising and falling rhythmically.

"Big Brother, save me..."

Behind her, a massive spirit ape several zhang tall stepped forward, grinning mischievously as it lunged at Ye Xiao.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, his Double Pupils emitting a brilliant glow.

Without hesitation, he extended his hand, sending several talismans crashing down onto the ape's head.

In an instant, the Soul Sea-level beast's expression froze, its grin vanishing.

This is so unfair!

I'm just a lowly Soul Sea beast playing around with this girl. Did you really have to throw seven divine talismans at me?

Its massive head shattered under Ye Xiao's talismans, blood and bone fragments splattering everywhere.

"Wow, Big Brother, you're amazing! How should I repay you?"

The green-dressed girl bit her lips lightly, her green eyes filled with a dazed look, her breathing quickening. "Big Brother, do you... want to...?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly as he nodded slowly. "Yes, I want to."

"Hehe, what do you want?"

The green-dressed girl bit her lip, lowering her gaze seductively.

Heh, exposed at last.

"I want the mountains and rivers to endure forever, all beings to prosper, and for all our readers to live long and prosperous lives."

"Hmm?"

As Ye Xiao finished speaking, the green-dressed girl's expression froze slightly.

Though she didn't fully understand what Ye Xiao meant, it clearly wasn't what she had imagined.

"Then, Big Brother, would you like to take in a pure-blooded, obedient mount? Very pure, you know..."

"No."

Ye Xiao shook his head solemnly.

"You refuse such a beautiful mount as me? Then what do you want?"

The green-dressed girl's expression turned angry, puffing up indignantly.

"I want... the territories of Daozhou occupied by the dark races, the homeland of humanity."

Though Ye Xiao's tone remained calm and dignified, he made no move to push the girl away.

Finally, he reached out and patted her head gently, saying earnestly, "You may not be bad-looking, but your thoughts are quite dirty."

"You!!"

This time, the green-dressed girl could no longer contain her anger. She broke free from Ye Xiao's embrace and fled, disappearing into the depths of the ancient forest.

"Testing me?"

Ye Xiao sneered and finally began walking toward the Ye Family grounds.

Don't joke around—I, Ye Xiao, am loyal for life and can withstand any test.

I swear, I will always cherish girls who are eighteen, fair-skinned, and burning hot!!

"Pfft."

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Phoenix Palace.

Gu Mingyue listened to the green-dressed girl's words and a faint, gentle smile blossomed on her exquisite, pale face.

"Hmm? Mingyue, you're laughing?!"

The green-dressed girl clenched her teeth tightly, clearly not expecting Ye Xiao to be so serious—it was downright infuriating.

"He's a Double Pupil user. Do you really think you can hide your cultivation and true form from him?"

Gu Mingyue shook her head, her gaze distant.

Regardless, she could still sense that this Ye Xiao was different from the one in her past life.

She wasn't sure if this difference was genuine or just an act.

"Hum."

Time passed!!

Two days later, thunderclouds once again gathered above the Ye Family grounds, with Dao patterns rippling through the air.

A divine edict slowly materialized, showering down billions of divine inscriptions.

"What is this..."

"Heavenly phenomena—has the Ye Family produced another heavenly phenomenon?"

The entire Holy State erupted in gasps.

All the immortal sect leaders and immortal masters gazed toward the Ye Family grounds, their faces showing no great surprise, as if they were already accustomed to such events.

"Hum."

Meanwhile, in Ye Xiao's chambers, a white jade pill spun and hummed within his Soul Sea, evolving into mountains, rivers, and primordial chaos.

Supreme Foundation Pill!!

Finally, after successfully integrating this supreme immortal pill, Ye Xiao's cultivation broke through the ninth level of the Soul Sea Realm, advancing to the Divine Wheel Realm.

His Soul Sea transformed into a Divine Wheel, separating purity from impurity.

To Ye Xiao's delight, under the nourishment of the Supreme Foundation Pill, his Divine Wheel emitted a golden glow, shrouded in mist.

Within it, strands of chaotic energy surged endlessly, vast and boundless.

"This is... the Chaos Divine Wheel!!"
