In front of the Ice Emperor, even the most senior elder in the family would have no right to flaunt his seniority.
In truth, with Ye Chen's current strengt
alongside Ling Ying, the Purple Electric Marten, and the soul slave Yao Chen who was on the verge of being completely refined....controlling the Miter family would be an easy matter.
But no matter what, the family had raised him for so many years and had treated him sincerely.
He didn't wish to truly disappoint his grandfather and the elders.
Furthermore, Ye Chen had no intention of revealing his full strength too early.
Yes, he could already walk sideways across the Jiama Empire without fear… but the shadow of the Soul Palace still lingered here.
Those despicable people were still active in the empire, and he was still in the early stages of his rise.
He had no desire to face them head-on just yet.
"Then, Brother Ye Chen, you must protect your sister well."
Seeing the confident, domineering light in Ye Chen's eyes, Ya Fei's heart warmed.
She leaned gently against his chest, a sweet smile tugging at her lips.
After a night of intense passion, Ya Fei's body could no longer endure.
Exhausted, she fell soundly asleep in Ye Chen's arms.
Taking advantage of the quiet, Ye Chen's figure flickered as he stepped directly into the small world.
"Sister Xun'er, I'm hungry…"
The Purple Electric Marten was curled lazily in Xiao Xun'er's arms, acting spoiled.
"You little glutton."
Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly, pulling out a magic core and gently feeding it to the marten.
Ye Chen had deliberately let the Purple Electric Marten roam freely here, with Xiao Xun'er as its caretaker.
That way, she wouldn't feel lonely staying inside the small world.
As soon as he entered, Ye Chen caught sight of Xiao Xun'er teasing the little marten.
Her serene smile made him pause, and he couldn't help but curve his lips in return.
It seemed this woman was slowly adapting to her current life.
Good.
Given time, Xiao Xun'er would gradually forget about Xiao Yan and eventually carry his child here in peace.
Thinking of Xiao Yan, Ye Chen suddenly remembered the letter he had asked Ling Ying to secretly deliver to the boy's bedside.
A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Naturally, the letter wasn't written by Xiao Xun'er...it was penned by him.
He had learned that the Xiao family had been searching frantically for Xiao Xun'er these past few days, especially Xiao Yan, who had nearly gone mad with worry.
Ye Chen had no choice but to use this method to make them stop their search.
He wondered how Xiao Yan would react upon reading it.
That brat had been poisoned by the love potion… Ye Chen didn't know if he had woken up yet.
Still, when he did awaken and discovered his talent restored, he would probably feel a complicated mix of grief and joy.
Ye Chen had no intention of killing Xiao Yan.
The two had no personal enmity, and eliminating him would bring no benefit.
Without Yao Chen's guidance, and unless fate handed him other great opportunities, Xiao Yan's future achievements would be capped.
In Ye Chen's eyes, he wasn't worth worrying about.
The Xiao family still possessed the Emperor Jade, and sooner or later, that would draw the Soul Palace's attention.
If Ye Chen struck at Xiao Yan now, not only would there be no gain, it might even bring him unnecessary trouble.
Even if Xiao Yan stumbled upon another great opportunity in the future, Ye Chen could simply let him clash head-on with the Soul Palace.
All Ye Chen needed to do was remain hidden in the shadows..quietly taking wives, having children, and steadily growing stronger.
Xiao Yan's sudden recovery of talent also served as proof that Ye Chen's "magic pill" was effective.
With that, Xiao Yan had no grounds to make a fuss about the annulment of the engagement.
In fact, at this very moment, he might even be feeling grateful.
Compared to the engagement with Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan valued his cultivation talent far more.
From the fact that Xiao Yan had agreed to Ye Chen's offer back then...trading the marriage certificate for the elixir...it was clear he had never taken that marriage too seriously.
Now that no enmity remained between them, the so-called three-year agreement and other conflicts from the "original plot" would naturally never occur.
Upon returning to the imperial capital, Ye Chen would marry Nalan Yanran without Xiao Yan having any say in it.
Thinking this far, Ye Chen felt completely at ease.
This trip to Wutan City had neatly resolved every potential problem.
"Master!"
Just then, the Purple Electric Marten noticed Ye Chen's arrival. With a flash of violet light, it darted out of Xiao Xun'er's embrace and burrowed into Ye Chen's arms.
Though Xiao Xun'er treated it well, its loyalty was still firmly with its master.
"You little glutton," Ye Chen chuckled, running his fingers through its soft fur.
Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly when she saw him, greeting softly, "Master."
"Xun'er, you haven't been training lately, have you? Especially not practicing battle skills."
Holding the little marten, Ye Chen walked over and reminded her seriously.
Now that she was carrying his child, intense training could disrupt the formation of the fetus.
