When Like a Shadow is cultivated to its peak, the user can split into countless phantoms....like a horde of demons dancing in madness...making it impossible to tell the real from the false.
Ye Chen's talent was extraordinary. In just a few days, he had already mastered the first level of Like a Shadow.
With this earth-level fighting skill in hand, Ye Chen was confident that, even as an eight-star fighter, he could go head-to-head with a great fighter without flinching.
Xiao Xun'er's private treasury held no shortage of treasures.....fighting skills, martial techniques, rare cultivation resources.
But Ye Chen was not greedy. He only chose the techniques that truly suited him.
His fighting spirit attribute was lightning, so skills of other attributes were useless to him.
"Master, please rest for a while."
Seeing him pause his practice, Xiao Xun'er approached softly, holding out a glass of clear water.
Under Ye Chen's unyielding training regimen, Xun'er had begun to naturally assume the demeanor of a personal attendant.
When he finished training, she would obediently offer him water and gently wipe the sweat from his brow.
During their baths, she would quietly kneel behind him, her hands moving in slow, careful strokes as she rubbed his back.
When practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Technique, Xiao Xun'er would actively match his pace, adjusting herself to suit him.
Over time, she had gradually been molded by Ye Chen's presence....her habits, her demeanor, even the way she looked at him carried a trace of his influence.
Ye Chen was naturally satisfied with this change.
His demands were not complicated: as long as Xiao Xun'er no longer tried to take her own life, he would treat her well.
He had always been generous toward women who obeyed him.
If she could one day bear him a son and two daughters, then.....once his strength reached a certain level.....he would even consider letting her go, should she wish to leave.
Of course, that would depend entirely on whether Xiao Xun'er herself truly desired freedom.
Taking the cup of water from her hands, Ye Chen walked to the stone table and sat down.
To make her life more comfortable in this secluded space, he had brought in many items from the outside world.
Though the place still felt a little quiet and empty, it now had all the necessities of daily living.
Just then....
Ding! System has detected that Xiao Xun'er is pregnant. Host will be rewarded with a large gift package.
Ding! Would you like to open the gift package?
The mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Ye Chen's mind.
Xiao Xun'er… is pregnant!"
Ye Chen froze for a heartbeat when the system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
Then, sheer delight surged through him, lighting up his face.
After days of effort....nurturing the "seed" with unrelenting dedication.....the result had finally come.
"Good Xun'er… you're truly incredible."
Unable to contain himself, Ye Chen swept Xiao Xun'er into his arms, pressing a fierce kiss to her flawless cheek.
A faint blush bloomed across her delicate features.
Even after sharing such intimacy with him countless times, she still felt a trace of shyness under his gaze.
"Master, what's wrong?" she asked softly, tilting her head in curiosity at his unusually bright mood.
"You've done wonderfully this time."
A mischievous glint flickered in Ye Chen's eyes. "Later… Master will give you a special reward."
At those words, the tips of Xiao Xun'er's ears instantly flushed crimson...she knew exactly what kind of "reward" he meant.
"Be good," Ye Chen murmured, brushing a hand over her hair, "go keep Xiao Zi company for now. I'll come find you later."
After sending her off, he focused inward and commanded silently: "System...open the gift package."
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Bloodline Crystal.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Grade Fighting Skill: Heavenly Thunder Spear Technique.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a One-Star Dou Zong Experience Card.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Coiling Dragon Spear.
The string of rewards made Ye Chen's smile widen until it almost became a laugh.
This....this was the kind of payoff he liked to see.
Thinking about the nine-star Dou Zong experience card he had once "wasted" on Xiao Xun'er, Ye Chen no longer felt any trace of regret.
It had only been a few days, and now he had another Dou Zong experience card in his hands.
When Xiao Xun'er gave birth to his child, there would be yet another round of system rewards waiting for him.
A steady grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. This trip is pure profit.
Even though this was only a one-star Dou Zong experience card, Ye Chen was already more than satisfied.
At the Dou Zong realm, a person could walk the entire Jia Ma Empire without fear of anyone daring to provoke them.
With this card… who in the empire could possibly punish him?
The rush of excitement in his chest was like winning a grand prize.
In truth, when Ye Chen had first come to Wutan City, his only target had been Ya Fei.
Xiao Xun'er's appearance....and eventual submission....was a complete and delightful surprise that had fallen right into his lap.
All in all, this trip to Wutan City had been nothing short of a complete victory.
Ding....The above items have been distributed to the system space. Please check them yourself.
Forcing himself to steady his breathing, Ye Chen immersed his mind into the system space, his thoughts brushing over the newly acquired rewards.
Bloodline Crystal: After activation, it fuses with the host, awakening the power of bloodline that will protect the host's direct descendants.
