Upon returning to Ancient Dragon Island, Mo Yu noticed that the island’s once subtle and powerful aura had grown significantly stronger.
He was briefly surprised but quickly understood the reason.
The Ancient Void Dragon clan housed many powerful elders. After the clan’s split, they chose to cultivate in the void to avoid internal conflict.
However, with the reappearance of the Dragon Emperor, these elders who had refrained from engaging in clan infighting had now returned to Eastern Dragon Island, pledging their allegiance to Zi Yan.
"Eastern Dragon Island’s strength must have surged dramatically. Once Zi Yan emerges from her retreat, she’ll likely embark on the path to unify the Ancient Void Dragon clan," Mo Yu thought to himself.
Though the other three Dragon Islands wouldn’t easily bow to Eastern Dragon Island, as Dragon Emperor, unifying the clan was Zi Yan’s responsibility.
"Haha, Mo Yu, you’re finally back. The Void Thunder Pool is far too dangerous. I was worried something might happen to you."
As Mo Yu and Hei Qing stepped onto Eastern Dragon Island, Elder Zhu Li appeared, smiling warmly.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhu Li," Mo Yu replied with a slight bow and a smile.
"Young Master!"
As Mo Yu spoke with Zhu Li, a delighted voice rang out. A figure in green swiftly approached, stopping gracefully before him.
"Qing Lin," Mo Yu greeted, momentarily stunned but then smiling, "You’ve left your retreat?"
"Yes, thanks to the dragon energy in the Ancient Dragon Tomb and the help of several clan elders to suppress it, I managed to refine the Nine-Headed Heaven Serpent’s soul," Qing Lin said with a radiant smile.
"Haha, while the Nine-Headed Heaven Serpent’s soul hasn’t been fully refined, it’s no longer a threat. It will eventually be assimilated by Qing Lin," Elder Zhu Li added with a chuckle.
Mo Yu’s gaze swept over Qing Lin, his brows slightly raised as he noticed her aura had surpassed his.
"Seven-Star Dou Zun?"
Qing Lin nodded, her smile filled with delight.
"Haha, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils truly deserve their reputation as the most unique eyes under the heavens. Qing Lin is likely the only person on the continent to possess them.
Coupled with the Nine-Headed Heaven Serpent’s soul, Qing Lin’s strength has soared to unimaginable heights," Zhu Li said, stroking his beard.
Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"With Qing Lin’s current Seven-Star strength and the combat prowess of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she could likely battle even an Eight-Star Dou Zun.
Such power makes her a key figure in my Yuan Manor," Mo Yu remarked with a light laugh.
Hearing his praise, Qing Lin’s face flushed slightly, her cheeks tinged with a delicate pink.
"Elder Zhu Li, has Zi Yan still not emerged from her retreat? I may have to leave Ancient Dragon Island soon," Mo Yu asked after a moment of contemplation.
"She hasn’t yet. This retreat will take considerable time, and even I don’t know when she’ll finish," Zhu Li said with a frown before continuing.
"If you’re leaving, take this spatial jade slip. If you ever need to come to Eastern Dragon Island, crush it, and its spatial power will open a passage to bring you here."
Zhu Li retrieved a finely crafted silver jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Mo Yu with a smile.
Mo Yu accepted it with a smile.
Though he could traverse space using Flash Void Breaking Thunder, the spatial jade slip crafted by a Ban Sheng expert was undoubtedly more convenient.
After their conversation, Hei Qing waved his hand and tore open a spatial rift.
"Mo Yu, please," Hei Qing said with a smile.
Mo Yu nodded, clasped his hands toward Zhu Li, and stepped into the rift.
Qing Lin and Hei Qing followed closely behind, and the rift gradually closed after their departure.
The bustling Yuan City was a hub of activity.
Since Yuan Manor’s victory over the Hall of Souls, its reputation across the continent had soared. As its stronghold, Yuan City had become one of the most prosperous cities, attracting powerful individuals and merchants alike.
Yuan Manor welcomed outsiders, allowing them to settle in the city after passing inspections. These policies further fueled Yuan City’s growth and vibrancy.
Outside Yuan City, a spatial rift suddenly appeared, and three figures stepped out—Mo Yu, Qing Lin, and Hei Qing.
Mo Yu breathed deeply, taking in the sight of the towering city walls and the vast blue sky. Compared to the endless void, the city’s liveliness felt far more invigorating.
"So, this is Yuan City, the base of your Yuan Manor. It’s as prosperous and grand as I’ve heard," Hei Qing said, his gaze filled with admiration. He then turned to Mo Yu. "I must return to handle matters in my clan, so I won’t be able to visit your manor this time."
Mo Yu smiled and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your help, Hei Qing. Next time, come to Yuan Manor, and I’ll serve you our finest Dragon Saliva Tea."
"Dragon Saliva Tea? Only ancient methods can produce that. Mo Yu, you have impressive means.
Once my clan’s affairs are settled, I’ll visit and enjoy your hospitality," Hei Qing said with a hearty laugh.
Mo Yu nodded, appreciating Hei Qing’s straightforward nature. Hei Qing was indeed a worthy ally.
"Alright, I won’t linger. Farewell!"
Hei Qing waved and tore open another spatial rift before stepping through and vanishing.
"Let’s go," Mo Yu said with a smile, heading toward Yuan Manor’s towering gates. Qing Lin followed close behind.
Having only been gone a month, Mo Yu’s departure hadn’t caused much of a stir within Yuan Manor. He and Qing Lin returned quietly, not disturbing anyone.
When they reached the Yuan Manor’s main hall, a piece of unexpected news from a guard surprised Mo Yu.
"What? You’re saying the mistress has arrived?" Mo Yu asked, his expression filled with pleasant surprise.
The main hall, an important place for Yuan Manor’s high-level discussions, was heavily guarded by trusted elites.
The tall guard seemed familiar to Mo Yu. He had joined the Yuan Manor back in the Black-Corner Region, where he had repeatedly proven his valor in battles and received many rewards.
His innate talent wasn’t bad either, and he had since reached the Dou Huang level. Xiao Li had assigned him to guard the Yuan Manor’s main hall.
As one of the Yuan Manor’s earliest members from the Black-Corner Region, this tall guard naturally recognized Mo Yu’s wife-to-be, Xiao Yu.
Seeing Mo Yu addressing him, the guard’s rugged face turned slightly red with excitement. He quickly restrained himself and responded respectfully, "Yes, Manor Lord. A while ago, Hall Master Xiao Li arranged for Captain Qiu Shui to go to the Black-Corner Region to escort the Lady back. Half a month ago, she successfully arrived at the Yuan Manor!"
"Qiu Shui, huh..." Mo Yu nodded, recalling the familiar name. Qiu Shui was another veteran of the Yuan Manor, recruited not long after its founding.
Now, Qiu Shui had not only reached the peak of the Dou Zong stage but also earned a reputation across Central Plains for his exceptional swordsmanship.
"Qiu Shui has worked hard on this mission. I recall that after we annihilated the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, we kept the Jian Zun Zhe’s weapon. Reward it to Qiu Shui," Mo Yu declared generously. Then, remembering Xiao Yu’s long legs, he added, "Take me to see Xiao Yu right away."
"Hehe, I haven’t seen Sister Xiao in a long time. Finally, we can all reunite today," Qing Lin chimed in with a smile.
In a secluded courtyard of the Yuan Manor, two stunning figures sat opposite each other.
The woman on the left wore a simple white dress, her beauty otherworldly. Her most striking feature was her long, snow-white hair cascading softly down her back like a river of silver. This was none other than Xiao Yixian.
At this moment, however, the usually indifferent grayish-purple eyes of Xiao Yixian revealed an uncharacteristic hint of awkwardness as she gazed at the woman across from her.
The woman in red radiated a mature and enchanting charm. Her loose gown featured a slit that revealed her long, shapely legs whenever the fabric fluttered in the breeze. Even Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin couldn’t match the allure of these legs.
This woman in red, with her stunning legs, was none other than Mo Yu’s fiancée, the Lady of Yuan Manor, Xiao Yu.
Since her return to the Yuan Manor, Xiao Yu had been personally attended to by Xiao Yixian.
Despite being fellow women of Mo Yu, Xiao Yixian couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward facing Xiao Yu, the official wife. Although her strength far surpassed Xiao Yu’s, it didn’t ease her discomfort.
"Sister Yixian, we’ve known each other for several days now. Would it be all right if I addressed you this way?" Xiao Yu, now much more mature and composed than her younger, feisty self, smiled gently at the beautiful woman before her. She had long since guessed the nature of Xiao Yixian’s relationship with Mo Yu.
Xiao Yu understood that her position as Mo Yu’s official wife was largely due to her early engagement with him. Despite their arranged marriage, she knew better than to act selfishly or impetuously. Instead, she chose to embrace Mo Yu’s other women with an open heart.
In the Dou Qi Continent, strength was everything, and it was normal for a strong man to have multiple wives. Even her father had more than one wife.
Moreover, Xiao Yu knew Mo Yu’s prideful nature well; he would never choose an ordinary woman as his partner.
Looking at Xiao Yixian’s cold yet stunningly beautiful face, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but admire her.
"Y-you’re Mo Yu’s fiancée, the Lady of Yuan Manor. Of course, you may call me... Sister," Xiao Yixian replied softly after a brief moment of surprise.
"Sister Yixian, there’s no need to be so tense. Though I am Mo Yu’s fiancée, we haven’t yet officially married. From now on, let’s consider each other as equals—just like sisters," Xiao Yu said, taking Xiao Yixian’s hand and smiling warmly.
From the first moment she saw Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yu had taken a liking to her. Beneath those seemingly indifferent grayish-purple eyes, Xiao Yu could see a hidden tenderness—a tenderness likely reserved for Mo Yu alone.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Xiao Yixian was momentarily stunned. She then bit her lip gently, her head lowering slightly as she asked softly, "Sister Xiao, you... already know?"
"So, my guess was correct. But then again, who wouldn’t fall for a man as exceptional as Mo Yu?" Xiao Yu muttered with a bitter smile as she saw Xiao Yixian’s subtle change in demeanor.
Conquering such a cold and distant woman was no small feat, yet Mo Yu had managed it. While a hint of jealousy flickered in Xiao Yu’s heart, she also felt an undeniable sense of pride.
Look at my man—so extraordinary!
Thinking of her own years spent in the Black-Corner Region, separated from Mo Yu and pining for him nightly, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. The room fell into silence as both women became lost in their thoughts.
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed outside. With a creak, the door opened, and a tall, slender figure strode in.
Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Yixian turned their gazes toward the sudden intruder. When Xiao Yu saw the face she knew as intimately as her own soul, her expression froze, and her nose tingled with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes.
After staring at Mo Yu for a moment, Xiao Yu broke into a radiant smile and spoke softly, "Mo Yu, I’ve missed you so much."
With those words, Xiao Yu, her slender legs moving gracefully, dashed toward Mo Yu.
The familiar voice softened Mo Yu’s expression. A gust of fragrant wind swept past as a soft, delicate figure threw itself into his arms.
"Yu’er, your legs are even more beautiful now," Mo Yu said with a chuckle, holding Xiao Yu tightly. His gaze briefly shifted to her slender, snow-white legs, earning him a bashful yet annoyed glance from Xiao Yu.
