Chapter 115: The Patriarchs Arrive

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Patriarchs Arrive

Zou Kai walked slowly.

He knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he pushed it open.

He looked at the woman inside.

It was none other than the Eighth King General!

At that moment, the Eighth King General looked up!

The sight alone was enough to take one’s breath away.

Her face was the very picture of perfection.

She possessed a devastating beauty, the kind that could topple nations.

Her face alone was a vision of unearthly beauty.

Coupled with her cold, aloof temperament and her intimidating aura...

...it was as if one were standing before an Ice Snow Goddess.

The woman before him felt as unreachable as an iceberg.

Impossibly cold.

One could only admire her from a distance, never daring to touch.

The Eighth King General saw Zou Kai and acknowledged him.

She nodded. "Sit."

After Zou Kai sat down, he started to report on his mission.

The Eighth King General listened and nodded. "You’ve worked hard on this mission."

Then, the Eighth King General looked at Zou Kai. "Are you aware of the recent events within the barricade? The matter concerning the Hu Family."

Zou Kai was surprised that the Eighth King General, despite being incredibly busy, was paying attention to such matters.

He didn’t hide anything.

"I know. In fact, I just had a meal with Ye Yunyi."

"Oh?" The Eighth King General was taken aback. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Zou Kai. She hadn’t expected his network to be so extensive.

Then she thought of Ye Yunyi.

Ever since Ye Yunyi killed Hu Xiang, rumors had been running rampant throughout the barricade.

All sorts of stories about Ye Yunyi had spread like wildfire.

They were constantly being talked about.

Ye Yunyi was quickly becoming a legend.

The Eighth King General had reviewed Ye Yunyi’s file as well.

And she had become extremely interested.

After all, his rate of growth was simply heaven-defying.

Not even she had progressed so quickly.

’If I could recruit a talent like that...’

As she thought this, the Eighth King General’s eyes lit up. She looked at Zou Kai. "Go to Ye Yunyi’s estate in a moment. Bring him here. I want to have a chat with him."

Her words made Zou Kai’s eyes fly wide open. He could hardly believe what he’d just heard.

The Eighth King General wanted to summon Ye Yunyi for a private chat.

’Good heavens!’

’This wasn’t the kind of treatment an ordinary person would receive!’

In fact, few of the Star Level Patriarchs in the city had even met the Eighth King General, despite being here for so long.

Zou Kai scrambled to his feet. "I’ll go right now."

"Wait!"

The Eighth King General stopped him and handed him a whip. "Take my mount."

’Huh?’

Zou Kai’s heart skipped a beat.

’The Eighth King General’s mount!’

Zou Kai was instantly thrilled.

He took the whip and headed outside.

「A short while later.」

Zou Kai found himself standing before an Exotic Beast.

The Exotic Beast!

It was pure white from head to tail.

Its eyes blazed with ferocity.

Its powerful aura was so intimidating that Zou Kai hesitated to approach, even with the whip in hand.

Zou Kai stared at the sixty-to-seventy-foot-long Exotic Beast, a Snow Wolf. No matter how many times he saw it, he was always filled with awe.

This was, after all, a Mid-Star Stage Exotic Beast!

The Eighth King General’s mount!

Steeling himself, he moved closer.

The Snow Wolf stared at him, the ferocity in its eyes slowly gathering.

But then it saw the whip in his hand, seemed to understand, and rose to its feet.

It walked slowly toward Zou Kai.

And stopped beside him.

Seeing the Snow Wolf’s behavior, Zou Kai knew full well, ’The Eighth King General has trained this mount incredibly well.’

Then, Zou Kai got on the Snow Wolf’s back.

He guided the Snow Wolf toward Ye Yunyi’s estate.

「Meanwhile.」

Back at Ye Yunyi’s estate.

He was drinking tea in his room.

Then, there was a knock at the main gate.

Lü Fang went to open it.

She saw a Mutant standing there with a young woman who looked to have just come of age.

The young woman was quite pretty.

A blush colored her cheeks.

Her eyes darted around, scanning the estate as if searching for someone.

"You are?"

The Mutant looked at Lü Fang. "I’m here to see Lord Ye!"

"My name is Wang Ziqing!"

’Wang Ziqing?!’

Lü Fang had heard that name before, back when she used to live in the barricade.

He was the Patriarch of a great family.

His power had reached the Early-Star Stage.

But for him to come here with such a humble attitude...!

"Please wait a moment."

Lü Fang spoke, then went back to inform Ye Yunyi.

「A moment later.」

Ye Yunyi came out of his room.

When Wang Ziqing saw Ye Yunyi, he was inwardly shocked.

’Good heavens!’

’He’s just as young as the rumors say!’

’And yet so powerful!’

’It seems the rumors were true!’

’If he becomes a King General in the future...’

He glanced at his daughter beside him.

The girl was also staring at Ye Yunyi, her blush deepening.

She lowered her head to stare at the ground, tracing small circles with the toe of her shoe. Her shyness was utterly endearing.

Ye Yunyi walked over.

"Lord Ye!"

"Patriarch Wang, please, come inside."

Ye Yunyi invited the two of them inside.

Once in the reception hall, Ye Yunyi got straight to the point. "Patriarch Wang, what can I do for you?"

Getting down to business, Wang Ziqing sighed. "Alas, I’ve been left with no other choice!"

"My little daughter here!"

"Ever since she heard of Lord Ye’s deeds, she has been constantly begging me."

"She wants to stay by your side, Lord Ye. She’s just come of age, and... well, it’s a classic case of a beauty admiring a hero."

"So, as her old father, I had no choice but to bring her here."

......

Ye Yunyi listened, understanding the situation.

Then he looked at the girl.

[Name: Wang Yilan]

[Height: 165cm]

[Appearance: 97]

[Bust: B]

[Figure: 96]

[Purity: 100%]

Ye Yunyi took a look. ’Good heavens, her figure is a little... subpar!’

’At the very least, she isn’t what you’d call ’stacked’!’

’But then again, she just came of age. I probably shouldn’t be too demanding.’

’There’s still room for growth!’

Just as Ye Yunyi was lost in thought, Lü Fang came in from outside.

"Lord Ye, quite a few Patriarchs have arrived outside. They all wish to see you."

Her words made Ye Yunyi glance outside.

Wang Ziqing and Wang Yilan were both stunned.

A bad feeling suddenly crept into Wang Ziqing’s heart.

The two of them followed Ye Yunyi outside.

Ye Yunyi came outside, looking at the several Patriarchs.

And just like Wang Ziqing, each of them had brought a young woman along.

The two parties met.

The other Patriarchs looked at Wang Ziqing, who looked right back at them.

In an instant, there was a tacit understanding.

They all knew exactly why the others were there.

Right then, Wang Ziqing cursed inwardly, ’Damn these old coots! What are they doing here, horning in on my business!’

Across from him, the other Patriarchs snorted coldly in their minds.

Looking at Wang Ziqing, they thought, ’You old fox!’

’You sure got here quick!’

’Rushing over here with your daughter at top speed!’
