Dust swirled and the air was thick with the scent of battle.
Fu Ye's kick had only shattered Tang Chuan's arm, but when he saw the dissipating black mist, he knew Rakshasa had intervened!
However, since he was here, it wouldn't be his style to leave empty-handed.
"BOOM!"
A terrifying sonic boom erupted from his right fist, and with it, a dark shadow was violently torn from the Tang Chuan's body.
"Pfft!"
In that instant, not only Tang Chuan, but even the sliver of the Rakshasa God's consciousness attached to him was severely wounded by the blow.
Almost immediately, Rakshasa Goddess seized Tang Chuan, transforming into black fog and vanishing without a trace. Instead of giving chase, Fu Ye simply pinched the wisp of black fog he had torn away.
"No! No! Father, you've been possessed!"
"Chief! Chief! Wake up!"
"Tai Lan, Tai Luo! I don't want this either! But I…"
Tragic wails and furious curses emanated from the black mist.
From it, Fu Ye saw the spectral form of Tai Tan, the Clan Leader of the Strength Clan, now polluted by resentment, along with a dozen other souls in a similar, tormented state. Their agonized cries mirrored his.
Yet, one soul stood out, relatively untainted. Fu Ye easily extracted it from the mass of vengeful spirits.
Ye Lingling, who had been following Fu Ye, watched the scene with a trace of fear in her dark eyes. Fortunately, her mental fortitude was strong, and she managed to stifle any scream.
Surveying the surroundings, Fu Ye saw the remains of Bai He and Tai Tan, now completely corrupted by Rakshasa's power.
His gaze soon fell upon an orange-haired girl lying on the ground, blood at her lips. If his guess was correct, she was Tang San's cousin, Bai Chenxiang.
Fu Ye truly hadn't expected that a beast like Tang Chuan would harm even his own cousin from a past life. But such specialized matters were best left to professionals.
And Fu Ye was a professional through and through.
"Lingling, treat her injuries," Fu Ye instructed.
Bai Chenxiang was still lost in the grief of her grandfather's death. She only snapped back to her senses when she felt the wound on her mouth begin to itch.
Meanwhile, Fu Ye was examining the relatively pure soul in his hand. As for the vengeful spirits of the Tai Tan clansmen, he simply crushed them, sending them on to reincarnation.
"Thank you for saving my daughter. Bai He is eternally grateful."
After assessing the situation, the soul in Fu Ye's hand knelt down in mid-air.
'Hm? This is Bai He? He doesn't look the part.'
"Grandfather!!"
With Ye Lingling's help, Bai Chenxiang's injuries had nearly healed. Hearing her grandfather's voice, she stumbled to Fu Ye's side. The moment she saw the faint silhouette, her tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Everything had happened so fast. From the moment her grandfather was captured until now, barely half a minute had passed.
But her grandfather was already…
"Xiang'er, do not be rude before His Majesty!" Bai He, having just regained his senses, first reaction wasn't affection, but a stern reprimand.
"Your Majesty, I have spoiled my granddaughter. I beg your forgiveness for any offense she may have caused."
Bai He's soul bowed deeply once more before Fu Ye.
Fu Ye raised an eyebrow. This old man Bai He was quite adept at handling affairs. But that tone… was he trying to entrust his granddaughter to him?
Three minutes later, while Bai Chenxiang was still weeping, Fu Ye directly stored the soul of her grandfather, Bai He, into his system warehouse.
"Alright, let's go."
He grabbed Bai Chenxiang by the collar and lifted her up. Ye Lingling returned to his side, still somewhat uneasy.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of white light, and their figures vanished from the spot.
…
On the other side, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, a disheveled figure shrouded in black fog fell headfirst beneath a large tree.
His right arm hung limp, flattened by the earlier attack. The black mist around him writhed, slowly repairing the damage.
"You fool! Why did I have to encounter a lecherous idiot like you who only thinks with his lower half!"
Rakshasa's divine consciousness had suffered greatly from this encounter. To fully restore it now, she would need to devour the souls of thousands of people once more.
Even more aggrieved than Rakshasa was Tang Chuan. He was convinced Fu Ye had shown up specifically to mess with him! It was as if the other party had anticipated his every move!
He hadn't come when Tai Tan was killed, nor when Bai He was killed. But the moment Tang Chuan was about to turn Bai Chenxiang into his personal slave, he arrived perfectly!
Suddenly, Tang Chuan seemed to find a connection.
At that moment, the once clear sky abruptly darkened. Ominous clouds blotted out the sun, and a heavy rain began to pour.
Dazzling lightning arced wildly beneath the dark clouds. The rain lashing against Tang Chuan's face brought a moment of chilling clarity.
His wife in this life had been taken by the other party.
His wife from his past life had been taken by the other party.
His mother from his past life had been taken by the other party.
Even his teacher's wife had been taken by the other party!
His thoughts drifted back to the scene at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition. It seemed even Pope Bibi Dong had some connection with that man!
Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, the Tianshui Team…
Suddenly, Tang Chuan seemed to have figured it out. A hint of madness flashed in his dark eyes.
"Hahaha!!! I see it now! I understand! The me in this life is not the me from before! The luck of this world doesn't favor the me of the past! It's Fu Ye! It's all Fu Ye!"
"Kill him! Kill him! As long as I kill him, everything he has will be mine! Hahahaha! I've got it! I've truly got it now!"
…
That evening, wind howled and thunder rumbled outside. Fu Ye was resting in his room.
Today was one of his rare days off. Even with his formidable physique, he couldn't keep up a relentless pace every single day. Besides, his companions understood the principle of not draining the pond to catch all the fish.
After all, if the water level gets too low, the fish will die of thirst. To maintain a healthy ecosystem, they had to set aside a day to let the pond replenish.
But these were just Fu Ye's excuses. Partying with them day in and day out left little time to welcome a new bride.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A sound came from Fu Ye's door. Sensing the visitor, he knew his harem was about to expand a little more tonight.
He didn't use his soul power to probe which young lady had come. One sought to save her grandfather and kill Tang Chuan; the other wished to break her family's curse and free them from the shackles of their martial soul.
...
Fu Ye was no saint with an overflowing heart of compassion, but neither was he a scumbag who coerced girls for his own selfish desires—with the sole exception of Ah Wu.
His principle was simple: both parties must be willing.
'You become my woman, devoted to me alone for eternity. In return, I will help you achieve what you cannot and guide you to godhood together.'
It seemed like a pretty fair deal, didn't it?
"Click."
Fu Ye stood up and slowly opened the door to find two figures, one in green and one in white.
"Brother Fu Ye, this is all I can offer you."
"Brother Fu Ye, I know there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So, please."
Suddenly, Ye Lingling locked the door behind them, and a cloud of white mist began to rise within the room.
Everything unfolded in a harmonious and natural rhythm.
…
How much time had passed? Within Fu Ye's spiritual sea, his peculiar visage was filled with restraint and dissatisfaction.
After all, nothing of note had happened recently, and the strength of these young women had already reached the Titled Douluo level. This meant he had been enjoying full meals every day, leaving him feeling somewhat impatient and unfulfilled.
Unfortunately, Xiangxiang and Lingling's levels weren't high enough. Fu Ye was forced to stop before he was even 30% satisfied.
However, that wasn't what troubled him now. He still had the Worry Free Prison to consider.
Thinking of this, he realized he hadn't visited for a long time. As for the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life?
He believed that under the training of the mechanisms he had set up, she would likely be much more obedient upon seeing him now.
…
Inside the Worry Free Prison, within Fu Ye's Spiritual Sea.
The scenery here had been meticulously recreated to resemble the Star Dou Forest. Before he even reached the shore of the Lake of Life, he heard a series of miserable, almost mournful, laughs.
As his vision focused, Fu Ye finally saw the scene clearly.
Right in the center of the Lake of Life, a human-shaped cocoon, completely wrapped in Blue Silver Grass, was suspended half a meter above the water.
Every part of its body was sealed tightly by the Blue Silver Grass, except for the mouth, nose, soles of the feet, and armpits.
The source of the laughter? Probably three or five strands of Blue Silver Grass swaying in the wind, lightly brushing against the pale, bare soles.
As Fu Ye retracted the Blue Silver Grass, the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life was swept directly to the shore.
Her scarlet eyes now held pure terror, completely devoid of the arrogance she had possessed when she first arrived.
Witnessing this, Fu Ye—who had left her to this torment for a full month—slowly approached her.
"No! Please, I'm begging you! Don't do this to me again, don't!!"
The remnant soul crawled on her knees to Fu Ye's legs, pressing her delicate cheek against his thigh in a gentle, pleading rub.
A slight smile curled Fu Ye's lips upon seeing this, though in his opinion, this was still far from enough.
But it proved his methods were effective. He wondered what expression the esteemed God King Tang Chuan would wear upon seeing this scene.
The thought of Tang Chuan, the reincarnated God King, sparked another interesting idea in Fu Ye's mind.
However, Tang Chuan and Yu Xiaogang were destined to be hung on the spirit lamp, enduring eternal, scorching agony.
As for Tang San, who had become somewhat reasonable in his later years… he would simply dismember his body and crush his soul.
"Haha, right now you're like a bitch in heat. Where did your defiance and dignity go? Have you cast them aside for just this?"
Fu Ye kicked the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life directly into the tree behind her. She collapsed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth as she clutched her lower abdomen, seemingly in immense pain. "No, no, I…"
But before she could speak, Fu Ye grabbed her by the neck and dragged her towards the cabin. The light in her scarlet eyes faded completely at that moment.
Yet, in the next instant, a flash of golden light restored her consciousness, and her injuries vanished without a trace.
[Basic Rules of Worry Free Prison: The status of any mortal prisoner is refreshed once when on the verge of death, and refreshed once more when the master, Fu Ye, departs.]
Life in Worry Free Prison was always… colorful. Although it currently housed only one prisoner, Fu Ye was confident that in the near future, he would fill this prison with those who had committed heinous crimes!
Time passed swiftly within Worry Free Prison. In the blink of an eye, Fu Ye was once again… exhausted.
Checking the time, he found he had made significant progress—the duration had increased from the original thirty-two days to thirty-five days!
Back in the Worry Free Prison, Fu Ye glanced back at the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life. This time, her scarlet eyes held seven parts confusion and three parts pain.
Seeing Fu Ye about to leave, she quickly endured the pain in her lower abdomen, crawled to his feet, and gently hugged his calves, her cheeks filled with a flattering and satisfied expression.
"Your slave respectfully sees the Master off."
Hearing her words, Fu Ye grabbed her neck and lifted her up.
"Since your performance was satisfactory this time, I'll permit you to linger here a while longer."
He tossed her directly into the fabricated Lake of Life.
Here, just as in reality, all sensations were real. Yet, she was trapped here, forever denied the release of death.
As for the idea that he might pity her or develop feelings for her? Absolutely impossible. A toy was just a toy. At most, it required regular maintenance.
…
Before Fu Ye knew it, half a month had passed.
Fu Ye's life had been quite comfortable lately. He practiced with the girls in his free time and occasionally visited Worry Free Prison to train the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life. He was living a very contented life.
Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang had respectively absorbed immortal herbs and ferocious beast-grade soul bones, yet their power levels remained the lowest among the girls.
Ye Lingling had reached Level 93, the Titled Douluo level, while Bai Chenxiang had only peaked at Level 92.
However, his leisurely life as an emperor was soon disrupted by an urgent letter from Qian Renxue.
Upon learning its contents, Fu Ye was genuinely shocked. He never expected that Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire would resort to such measures after realizing he had little time left.
…
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial City. Inside an Underground Chamber.
A handsome man with long golden hair and rosy cheeks paced back and forth outside the chamber's door, from behind which faint, whimpering sounds could be heard.
Suddenly, a handsome young man tore through space and arrived in the underground chamber.
"What's the meaning of this, summoning me here in such a hurry?"
"Hmph! You bad guy, aren't you pleased with the good deed I've done for you?"
Though the blond youth currently appeared male, the voice that spoke was clearly and unmistakably female.
Indeed, this was Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and the man standing before her was Fu Ye.
[Author's Note:
The remaining girls to be recruited (non-key ones) won't be so straightforward. They will all be dealt with during a single event. It's estimated that within ten chapters, we'll enter the Divine Realm and recruit the goddesses there.
We must reach the second world before chapter 200.]
...
Fu Ye felt increasingly uncomfortable the more he looked at Qian Renxue, who stood before him in men's clothing with flushed cheeks.
"What's wrong with you today, silly girl? Why is your face so red?"
He had finally noticed that something was off about her, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
"Hiss~ I don't know either," Qian Renxue replied. "But I came to find you today because of a very... troublesome matter." she stood there, feigning composure, and then pointed behind the iron gate.
"Oh? Is there something that even the Saintess of the Spirit Hall cannot accomplish?" Fu Ye was no longer anxious, seeing her reaction. It was a rare sight for this proud girl to seek his help so meekly.
"No, it's just... that old man Xue Ye drugged and captured some people."
'Huh?' Fu Ye was baffled. What did it have to do with him if someone was drugged and captured on a snowy night?
"So you called me here just to deal with these people?" Fu Ye frowned slightly. Given Qian Renxue's usual methods, she would have handled such matters swiftly and decisively—disposing of the targets without a second thought. Why was she so hesitant today?
"Yes! That's right! Exactly!" Hearing his response, Qian Renxue nodded with utmost seriousness.
"Tsk, then handle it yourself. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back." What a trivial matter. Was it really necessary to summon him just to eliminate a few people?
"Don't go!" Qian Renxue suddenly grabbed his wrist.
'She's burning up!'
That was Fu Ye's first thought. When he turned to look at her, he noticed her skin was turning red and feverish. Even the disguise concealing her true appearance had vanished at that moment.
"No... what's happening to me? I'm so hot, so hot..."
Suddenly, Qian Renxue recalled what Glowing Feather Douluo had once told her:
"These young ladies are fine. They merely inhaled an overly concentrated dose of whale glue. It's non-toxic. Young Master, you just need to help them find a suitable person to... neutralize its effects."
'No! If they had been exposed to that substance, then the prince she was impersonating must have been poisoned as well!' In a daze, she remembered the meals the servants had brought her earlier.
But soon, her consciousness descended into chaos, much like the people behind the door. Her actions became driven by primal desire.
"No, not here... take me inside!"
After uttering those words, her consciousness completely faded. Fu Ye felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping through his mind.
'We might not be sisters, but if you're going to offer yourself like this, you could at least give me some warning! You've caught me completely off guard!'
However, when he pushed the door open, he discovered the scene inside was far more explicit than Qian Renxue's current state.
'Gulp.'
Fu Ye swallowed subconsciously.
Enter the room, lock the door, and erect a barrier—all in one fluid motion.

By two in the morning, Qian Renxue still felt a lingering heat in her body. Clearly, the effects of the whale glue had not yet fully subsided.
In a daze, she watched everything unfolding before her, her delicate and beautiful face filled with disbelief.
Looking at the girls around her who had finally calmed down and collapsed to the side, a wave of guilt surged in her heart.
Her consciousness wavered between heaven and hell, and this tumultuous struggle left her mind in disarray.
She seemed to understand why her sister Dong'er always had that particular expression when speaking of him. Yet, beneath this understanding lay a feeling of having stolen something that belonged to another.
Qian Renxue had never imagined she would share such an ambiguous and intimate relationship with this man.
But then again, aside from him, was there any other man on this continent worthy of her regard?
"I'm sorry, Sister Dong'er... but he is mine now!"
Outside, Fu Ye had already cleaned up the poor girls and moved them, now unconscious, to sleep together on the same bed.

In the spiritual world, within the Worry-Free Prison:
"Master, is your dancing slave's service satisfactory?"
Fu Ye was sitting by the shore of the Lake of Life, playing in the water with the residual soul of Xiao Wu from his previous life.
"Shh~ Keep your head down and don't speak," he murmured.
Fu Ye gazed up at the sky. The Lake of Life, simulated by the Worry-Free Prison, remained as clear and radiant as ever.
The residual soul of Xiao Wu was diligently helping him digest the excess energy within him.
By now, this remnant of Xiao Wu's soul had learned the consequences of offending him. Whenever he entered this space, she would proactively offer her assistance.
It wasn't that Fu Ye's methods were exceptionally cruel. He had simply bound her with Blue Silver Grass, leaving her utterly helpless and unable to do anything but breathe. Moreover, he would tickle the soles of her feet for one minute, then let her rest for one, depriving her of any chance to sleep.
Fu Ye casually pinched her cheek, a wicked smile gleaming in his golden eyes as he spoke softly, "Tell me now, who are you? And who do you love the most?"
Upon hearing his words, the residual soul of Xiao Wu immediately sat up straight. A look of utter satisfaction always filled her blood-red eyes.
"This slave is a cute little rabbit who helps her master deal with excess energy. This slave loves her master the most."
...
On the Douluo Continent, a land steeped in romance, time always seemed to flow by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The misunderstanding that had occurred between Fu Ye and the eleven young women, including Qian Renxue, was primarily the handiwork of the old Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Ye.
That day remained the sole instance where Fu Ye, with no prior emotional connection, had achieved eleven consecutive victories relying solely on his personal charm and formidable strength, securing an impressive feat of gaining eleven wives in a single night.
Since then, however, those young women had been thoroughly exploiting him daily. While Fu Ye could still manage it for now, he feared that if their numbers continued to grow, it would become quite challenging to keep up without resorting to systemic medicinal aids.
Naturally, Huo Wu, Yao Zi, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others had also consumed magical herbs and absorbed spirit bones. With his assistance, their cultivation now hovered around Level 97, the Super Douluo realm.
Ah Yin and Ah Wu, being the first to enter the Asgard, had now reached the God King level. With the system's help, their auras were concealed, and they currently resided at Tianshui Academy alongside the other young women.
Xiao Wu, Han Ruyan, Liu Erlong, and the others, who had reached the Ultimate Douluo level, were now cultivating within the Asgard.
After all, the system's introduction clearly stated that only those who had reached the Ultimate Douluo level could withstand the immortal energy and instantly enhance their cultivation by assimilating it.
Fu Ye felt that the God of Creation-level plane he had purchased could be considered a minor fantasy realm. Unbound by the natural laws of the Douluo World, one's cultivation could skyrocket from the Ultimate Douluo to the God King level at a breathtaking pace.
However, Xiao Wu and the others were still slightly lacking; they were currently only at the peak of the first-class Divine Realm. But Fu Ye believed it wouldn't be long before they broke through to the God King Realm.
…
At the Spirit Hall, on the central island within the lake.
Fu Ye was practicing advanced yoga with the little fox, Hu Liena.
As for Bibi Dong, she was currently cultivating within Fu Ye's Asgard.
Half a year ago, after learning of this exceptional training ground, she had decisively begged Fu Ye to sever her connection with the Asura God's Trial. In her eyes, why should she inherit the throne of a bound god in the Divine Realm when she could ascend to godhood through her own power?
Fu Ye had naturally agreed. In his opinion, the gods of the Douluo Divine Realm were far less free than those in his own Asgard.
Becoming a God King within the Asgard meant remaining a God King even after leaving, with no loss of strength—this was the genuine feedback he had received from the two God Kings, Ah Wu and Ah Yin.
However, after they both attained the God King level, they had caused him no small amount of trouble. Pitting the power of an Ultimate Douluo against a God King? It was no joke; even if Fu Ye's body were made of diamond, he couldn't withstand it indefinitely.
As Fu Ye wasn't ready to ascend to the Divine Realm just yet, he used the system to suppress his cultivation and prevent a breakthrough.
After bullying Fu Ye for a few months, Ah Wu and Ah Yin were now content and satisfied. While they still occasionally sought him out for sparring matches, they were fortunately much gentler than before.
His presence at the Spirit Hall was primarily an arrangement by his wife, Bibi Dong. Before her half-year seclusion, concerned about Hu Liena, she had entrusted her to his care.
"Teacher, I feel my yoga skills have improved. My soul power absorption rate has increased to 1.95 times now!"
Hu Liena's body was glistening with sweat, making her already form-fitting black yoga attire cling even more closely under the setting sun.
"Well done. Let me demonstrate again. Your finishing moves still aren't quite standard."
When it came to teaching, Fu Ye always maintained a serious and demanding attitude, just as he had with the Tianshui team. After months of his meticulous guidance, everyone's training speed had doubled.
Hu Liena was indeed clever. Under his patient instruction, she had gradually mastered the various soul power transfer techniques of advanced yoga, though she still struggled with some minor details.
"Ah? Really?!"
Upon hearing that Fu Ye would personally guide her again, Hu Liena's heart began to race.
After all, aside from the first time—when he had pressed against her back and injected his soul power to circulate it—subsequent sessions had mostly involved him correcting her movements from a distance.
"Yes, focus on the sensation. You're sure to gain some insight. I'll slow down the pace this time. Pay close attention to the key points of the movements and the various methods of soul power circulation."
Since her defeat in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Hu Liena had practiced relentlessly. Now, in less than a year, she had reached the peak of Level 69.
At just nineteen years old, if nothing unexpected occurred, reaching the Ultimate Douluo level in the future would be effortless for her.
The setting sun dipped below the western horizon as the bright moon began its ascent.
Fu Ye gently sat behind Hu Liena, her back pressed against his chest. Under the connection of their soul power, their hands seamlessly intertwined.
Hu Liena could feel a gentle force within her body, diligently guiding her soul power.
As their soul powers continued to intertwine, Hu Liena became fully immersed in this exhilarating ocean.
Under Fu Ye's slow and methodical guidance, all the secret acupoints she had previously missed were gradually penetrated as he used threads of soul power to direct her energy through them.
As Fu Ye's guidance drew to a close, Hu Liena's breathing became deep and prolonged.
In truth, he had not only addressed the acupoints listed in the advanced yoga manual but had also taken this opportunity to unblock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians within her body.
However, unblocking the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at the peak Soul Emperor level was somewhat late.
In contrast, Shui Bing'er and the others had theirs unblocked by Fu Ye at the Soul Saint realm. Coupled with the advanced yoga techniques, their cultivation speed was now more than six to seven times faster than that of ordinary geniuses.
Stillening her breath and collecting her soul power, Fu Ye slowly withdrew the remaining threads of his soul power from Hu Liena's body. At that moment, she let out a long, deep exhale.
Dressed in her form-fitting yoga attire—a matching set Fu Ye had purchased from the system mall for its lightness and breathability—she was drenched in sweat.
"Huuu~~"
At this point in the practice, exhaustion overwhelmed Hu Liena, and she collapsed against him.
Fortunately, Fu Ye was experienced and had already anticipated her fatigue.
"Huu huu"
Hu Liena was breathing heavily. Fu Ye, however, was in no rush, as similar situations often occurred during his instruction with the Tianshui team.
A long while later, Fu Ye's legs and hands were damp with her sweet sweat, and Hu Liena gradually regained her mobility.
As her consciousness returned, she realized she was lying atop her teacher
She jolted back to her senses, sat up gasping, and looked back at Fu Ye, who remained seated cross-legged. This was no hallucination!
"Teacher, I just..."
...
Within the Spirit Hall, on the island in the middle of the lake, inside Bibi Dong's boudoir.
These past few days were a holiday the group of young women had granted themselves. Of course, they were only willing to give Fu Ye some free time once they were fully satisfied.
For instance, a while back, aside from coming here to guide Hu Liena in her cultivation and taking her to practice top-level yoga, he would always return to Tianshui Academy at night.
However, while excessive drinking harms one's health, a little can lift the spirits. Nor should one forgo the pre-sleep exercise.
In the Fu Ye's Spiritual Sea, within the Worry Free Prison.
Fu Ye lay leisurely upon a patch of verdant grassland that had appeared out of nowhere, enjoying the cool breeze and savoring the beauty life had to offer.
The remnant soul of Xiao Wu from a previous life was now lying before him, helping him manage the excess energy that had escaped due to his overflowing soul power.
It was said that the appearance of this remnant soul was completely different from that of his women Xiao Wu and Wu Ling.
Her hair was snow-white, and her eyes were a light scarlet, giving her a somewhat mysterious aura at first glance.
Yet, the shape of her face was similar to Xiao Wu's. Of course, having been his wife for decades, she also possessed an indescribable charm all her own.
"Master, this dancing slave can…"
The remnant soul of the previous Xiao Wu looked at Fu Ye, hope written all over her face. After Fu Ye's training, she now saw him as her one and only master.
After all, she had committed many offensive acts over the past six months. In response, Fu Ye had directly adjusted the time flow rate within the Worry Free Prison and trained her inside for three years, just as before.
From then on, the look in her eyes when she gazed at him was one of pure innocence and foolish devotion. She would fulfill any of Fu Ye's requests like a loyal hound.
"Tsk, has it only been this long since you last fed? And you can't hold back anymore?"
Fu Ye casually grabbed her fair, slender neck and pulled her before him. A sly smile played on his lips as he looked down at her charming, flattering face.
"Master, no, no… this dancing slave is just…"
A hint of panic surged in the foolish eyes of the previous Xiao Wu's remnant soul, while a spark of anger also rose within Fu Ye's strange pupils.
Suddenly, a strong wind whipped up around them, rustling the half-meter-high green grass. Under the moonlight hanging overhead, their two figures gradually overlapped.
At this moment, the previous Xiao Wu's remnant soul felt an unprecedented comfort. The sensation of floating on air made her forget all her past troubles.
There is no concept of time within the Worry Free Prison, and Fu Ye didn't know how long he had stayed there this time.
He only remembered drinking at least two bottles of God-grade Kidney Treasure inside. The process involved no fancy techniques; he simply proceeded with his eyes closed.
When he left the Worry Free Prison, the scarlet pupils of the previous Xiao Wu's remnant soul had completely turned into a pure pink.
"Hehehe, Master."
Because time in the Worry Free Prison is relatively static compared to the outside world, despite staying inside for so long, not even a single second had passed outside.
After drinking a bottle of sweet, God-grade Kidney Treasure, Fu Ye felt revitalized.
But he knew very well that the inheritance of Wei Wu's legacy required his personal guidance. He, Fu Ye, had taken over Boss Cao's inheritance!
Fu Ye was now a little curious about what expression Tang Chuan would make when he saw his ex-wife again.
…
On the Douluo Continent, in a village on the edge of the Western Sea.
A young man shrouded in a black aura was gripping a young girl.
Before them lay two figures—an old man and a young boy—their abdomens pierced through by black vines.
The young man pinned by the vines was not yet dead, his eyes filled with rage and resentment.
The black-aura-shrouded youth reached out and dug out the girl's heart right in front of the pinned young man. "Haha, what an ignorant woman, to actually dare resist! She was truly seeking death!"
As black vines, like venomous snakes, crawled over their bodies, the figures of the old man and boy withered almost instantly.
After doing all this, the black-shrouded figure still gazed toward the distant village with an unsatisfied look.

The young man covered in black aura turned his gaze toward the sea, his dark eyes overflowing with malice.
Who else could it be but our reincarnated God King, Tang Chuan?
Fu Ye wasn't very surprised after witnessing this scene. After all, from what he knew, Rakshasa was preparing to flee. She probably wasn't living very comfortably up there.
At this moment, in the Divine Realm, inside the Asura Temple.
The Asura God, who had lost his successor, was now violently beating the Rakshasa Goddess to vent his anger.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Ah!!!! Asura, you bastard!"
Of course, Fu Ye, the instigator of this incident, was currently resting very comfortably within his wife's boudoir.
There were still some little toys that Fu Ye used to flirt with others left in Bibi Dong's room.
It was a pity she was still cultivating in Asgard; otherwise, he would definitely battle her to the death.
Late at night, all was quiet. But for some reason, his door slowly creaked open a crack.
Perhaps because he had played with the previous Xiao Wu's remnant soul for too long in the Worry Free Prison, Fu Ye was sleeping very soundly in this room filled with a sweet fragrance.
But as time passed, the sea breeze cooled Fu Ye's passionate heart.
On the coast, the waves rose and fell, giving him a dreamlike sensation.
His thoughts were immersed in this windy, cloudy beach, and the sweet fragrance in his nostrils made him linger.
Watching the massive waves that suddenly rose tens of meters high, Fu Ye felt an urge to walk directly into them.
The seawater carried a salty scent, yet also a sweet aftertaste. Fu Ye swam freely within it, his mind wandering to the heavens.
However, at that moment, a vast surge of ocean suddenly rushed forth from the sea that had just calmed.
It was a great pillar of water that erupted from the surface.
Before he knew it, dawn had arrived.
He felt brimming with endless energy, and everything from last night's dream was vivid in his mind.
Sensing a hint of sweet fragrance trembling slightly in his arms, Fu Ye almost subconsciously shifted the person in his embrace and, in his drowsy state, proceeded to give the other party another morning lesson.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
'It seems… I'm still in the Spirit Hall.'
(д)!!
...
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, with Fu Ye's assistance, all of his wives successfully broke through to the Ultimate Douluo.
Later, when Bibi Dong aimed to be the first to attain the God of Creation realm, the others joined her in the endeavor. This led to the girls entering the Asgard one after another, each vying to see who could cultivate to the realm of the Creation God first.
Frankly, Fu Ye wasn't too confident about this.
After all, the fact that he could contend against two God Kings with the power of an Ultimate Douluo was already a monumental feat.
But now, they actually wanted to collectively break through to the level of Creation God and then deal with a weak, pitiful, and helpless Ultimate Douluo like him.
However, reaching the level of Creation God was exceedingly difficult.
In Fu Ye's estimation, even for Ah Wu and Ah Yin, who had reached the God King realm a year ago, breaking through to the Creation God level would be impossible without at least three to five years.
This was especially true for Qiu Ruoshui and Huo Wu, who had only entered the Asgard half a year ago.
The upper limit of his Asgard was the realm of the Creation God, after all. The time required for a breakthrough was likely far greater than that needed to reach the God King level.
…
One year later, on Sea God Island.
Fu Ye had been on Sea God Island for nearly six months now. His status here was that of a super VIP, just one tier below the Sea God himself.
This was because, on his very first day on the island, he had defeated the high priestess of Sea God Island, the Sea God Douluo, with absolute strength.
"I never expected you to be not only handsome but also to have such a fine figure."

On the shores of the Circular Sea at Sea God Island, Fu Ye lay on the beach in his swimwear, basking in the sun.
Beside him lay a girl with light green hair, wearing a matching light green swimsuit. Her green eyes sparkled with little stars as she admired Fu Ye's perfectly sculpted physique.
"Hey, looking is fine, but touching will cost extra."
As he spoke, the Sea Witch was continuously stroking the muscles of his chest and abdomen. His skin was as fair as jade, giving the illusion that it would be soft to the touch.
But when she actually touched him, she discovered that Fu Ye's muscles were far from just for show.
"Lululu, I'm the only girl among the Holy Pillar Guardians. What's wrong with a little touch? It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh."
The Sea Witch straightened up, showcasing her proud figure. While Fu Ye's physique was top-tier among men, hers was equally exceptional among women.
[Sea Witch Favorability +10%. Current Favorability: 80%]
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Fu Ye simply found the little girl in front of him quite amusing.
Today, she had asked him to come sunbathe by the Circular Sea, but once here, she seemed solely interested in admiring his body.
Seeing that Fu Ye remained unmoved, the Sea Witch simply stood up and sat directly on him.
Fu Ye naturally noticed her action, but he didn't think much of it. After all, the little Sea Witch could read minds, so he subconsciously kept his thoughts blank whenever he was with her.
This meant she could never glean his true thoughts, and over the past six months, she had constantly sought chance encounters with him, always returning empty-handed. The only time she managed to read his mind was when he was thinking about what to eat.
The Sea Witch's swimsuit had been carefully chosen by herself. The top consisted of merely two light blue lace strips, while the bottom was a light green miniskirt, full of allure, paired with small, light green and black triangle lace swimming trunks.
Frankly, any man would be stirred by such a sight, and Fu Ye was no exception. However, he knew exactly what this little girl was up to—she wanted to glimpse the improper thoughts in his mind.
As a fine, upstanding young man of the new era, how could he possibly let her have her way?
"Hey, what are you doing in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid Xiao Xi will spank you?"
Hearing Fu Ye's words, the Sea Witch showed no fear. After all, Sea God Island had no rules forbidding the Holy Pillar Guardians from falling in love.
As the princess of the mermaid tribe, she was now a 93-year-old adult—equivalent to a 19-year-old human.
Having lived for over a hundred years, she had finally met a boy who was both handsome and interesting. How could she easily let him go at this point?
"Lululu, the High Priestess never forbade us from freely pursuing love. Besides, I'm just sitting on you."
[Sea Witch Favorability +10%. Current Favorability: 90%]
As she spoke, the Sea Witch's face flushed slightly.
"So, you like me?" Fu Ye asked.
"Hmph! You blockhead. I don't like you," the Sea Witch retorted with a soft snort. Yet, despite her words, she made no move to get off.
"Although you claim to be over ninety years old and ask others to call you senior, few people know that a mermaid's ninety years is equivalent to a human's nineteen."
Fu Ye slowly sat up. The Sea Witch, still sitting on him, looked surprised and incredulous upon hearing his words.
However, Fu Ye didn't stop there. He gently held her, stood up slowly, and cradled her in his arms.
The moment Fu Ye stood up holding her, the Sea Witch's large, watery eyes filled with a mix of emotions—three parts pain, three parts disbelief, and four parts shock.
At that moment, Fu Ye used his soul power to carefully collect the initial evidence of what had just transpired and stored it in his system warehouse.
Her exotic face was now completely flushed.

"Hey, little girl, aren't you getting down? Do you want me to carry you back?"
Fu Ye looked at the little mermaid Sea Witch with a somewhat gloating expression. Putting everything else aside, her pair of pure white mermaid legs were truly captivating.
"You bad guy! Take me back right now!"
The Sea Witch was so flustered she could barely speak. She never expected the other party to dare to go this far here.
"Alright then, I'll take you back to the Sea Witch's Holy Pillar."
Fu Ye maintained a calm demeanor, though inwardly his soul was practically soaring with delight.
Meanwhile, far away at the Sea God Ceremony, Sea God Douluo, though unable to see the details clearly, witnessed Fu Ye and the Sea Witch embracing.
"Hmph, there isn't a single good man in this world."
