Chapter 226: Chapter 226: This Kind of Reward?

Meanwhile, Ren Jingyi also came out of her room to see what was going on outside.

She saw that the place was being decorated with lanterns and streamers.

A puzzled look appeared on her face.

’Is there some kind of big celebration?’

Afterward, Ren Jingyi started asking around.

She wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t asked, and what she learned gave her quite a shock.

Good heavens.

It turned out they were setting up for a wedding.

’My god!’

’The scale of it isn’t small at all!’

And from what she heard from the women in the manor, it seemed Ye Yunyi was a bridegroom every night, marrying a new wife each day.

’That guy.’

’He really lives up to his public moniker of the Wife-Marrying Maniac.’

Ren Jingyi watched, her face filled with resignation.

At the same time, rumors began to spread throughout the entire Spiritual Fusion Barrier that Ye Yunyi was about to become its new leader.

That he would become the instructor and commander of the Tenth Alliance Guard Army.

"My god, Lord Ye is terrifyingly capable. If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean in the future, Lord Ye will..." The Mutant didn’t finish his sentence, instead looking at the few people beside him.

The others, their faces also etched with shock, nodded in agreement.

Nearby, another Mutant looked at them, completely bewildered. "Jeez, why don’t you finish your sentences? What does it mean for Lord Ye in the future?"

"Huh? You don’t know?"

The first speaker was taken aback and retorted, then continued, "It means the King Generals have acknowledged Lord Ye’s strength. In the future, Lord Ye... he’ll probably become the Tenth King General!"

"It’s only a matter of time!"

This statement left everyone stunned.

Although they all understood it in their hearts, hearing it said out loud was still shocking.

A few nearby Mutants who hadn’t understood overheard this and their faces lit up with realization.

"In that case, we’d better bring some expensive gifts to Lord Ye’s grand banquet tonight."

After that, everyone went back to make their own preparations.

That evening, the grand banquet began.

Numerous Mutants arrived at the manor.

They saw Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu, who were already seated, and approached them with broad smiles to present their congratulatory gifts.

"Ladies, this is my gift."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ladies. This is from me."

...

A chorus of similar voices rang out.

Naturally, Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu responded with smiles.

The atmosphere between the two of them was perfectly harmonious.

Nearby, Ren Jingyi had also come out of her room and was wandering through the grand banquet at the manor.

She watched as these people presented their gifts.

Ren Jingyi’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.

’Wow, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen people so happy to be giving gifts.’

’Forget it, I’ll go wander over there.’

Soon after, she saw a few Mutants gathering nearby.

She edged closer to listen in.

"Hey, did you guys hear? The girl Lord Ye fought outside the city today is the Fifth King General’s daughter!"

A Patriarch said, looking at the others around him.

"We know, we know. Who doesn’t know by now?"

"I also heard that after she was defeated by Ye Yunyi, she was completely won over by Lord Ye. He carried her away in his arms, bridal style, and she followed him back to the manor. I bet tonight’s bride is none other than the Fifth King General’s daughter."

These words fell on the ears of Ren Jingyi, who was standing nearby.

A blush instantly crept up her face.

Then, she felt a surge of anger.

’Good grief.’

’You people have quite the fucking imagination!’

"Huh? Is that possible? Isn’t that a little too fast?"

"If not, it’s close enough. You know how charming Lord Ye is. Even the Eighth King General..."

The Patriarch left his sentence half-finished, stopping abruptly. He glanced at the crowd, who all wore looks of knowing understanding before chiming in.

"If you put it that way, it makes sense. After all, Lord Ye’s charm is undeniable. In the future, the Fifth King General will be Lord Ye’s father-in-law. Tsk tsk, Lord Ye’s social connections are insane!"

a Patriarch analyzed.

Listening to this, Ren Jingyi was about to go over and beat them all up. ’What kind of wild guesses are these?’

’It’s just baseless rumors spreading!’

However, Ren Jingyi could only think about it. After all, her vitality had been severely damaged from her fight with Ye Yunyi.

Dealing with these Patriarchs would be quite strenuous.

At that moment.

Just then, Ye Yunyi made his entrance, accompanied by a beauty from the West.

The group of gossips stared at the scene, stunned.

"Well, I’ll be. So Lord Ye didn’t show up with the Fifth King General’s daughter. Then our earlier speculation..."

one of the Patriarchs said. Nearby, Ren Jingyi snorted coldly, looking at their awkward expressions.

She thought to herself, ’Go on, repent for your sins!’

But then, a Patriarch beside him waved his hand. "Don’t worry. No beauty who enters Lord Ye’s manor ever gets away."

"This just shows that Lord Ye treats everyone equally. It doesn’t matter if you’re a King General’s daughter or someone else, you get the same treatment. So what if she’s a King General’s daughter? She still has to wait in line like everyone else!"

"Oh!"

"So that’s how it is!"

"Right, right, brilliant explanation!"

...

Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Ren Jingyi’s heart.

It made the corner of her mouth twitch.

She almost spat out a mouthful of life-preserving blood.

’These old geezers!’

A while later, everyone began toasting and mingling.

After it ended, everyone departed one after another.

Ye Yunyi also carried the Western beauty he had chosen toward the innermost room of the manor.

Then, upon entering the room, Ye Yunyi kicked the door shut behind him.

The night passed.

「The next morning.」

Ye Yunyi emerged from the room, looking refreshed and invigorated.

[Congratulations to the Host for a successful marriage! You have obtained the God Level Investigation Skill! Current investigation range: ten kilometers!]

’Hm?’

’What’s this?’

Ye Yunyi stared at the light screen, stunned.

Then he looked at the description.

’Well now.’

’The name is pretty self-explanatory.’

The God Level Investigation Skill allowed him to perceive everything within a ten-kilometer radius.

He could use it to defend in advance or make early preparations!

Ten kilometers wasn’t a huge distance, but it wasn’t small either.

It was still quite useful.

With a thought, Ye Yunyi immediately activated it!

He instantly perceived some of the situations within the barrier.

’This thing isn’t half bad.’

Ye Yunyi thought. The next moment, the light screen popped up again in front of him.

[Congratulations to the Host! Your wife has successfully become pregnant! You have obtained the Basic God Level Delayed Reward!]

’A God Level delay?’

’Delay what?’

Ye Yunyi then read the description on the light screen.

This thing was like a domain; it could slow down the movements of things around him.

For example, when fighting Mutants or Exotic Beasts, he could use it to delay their actions.

It was currently at the basic level, so the delay wasn’t very significant.

Furthermore, its effect was dependent on Level.

The higher the opponent’s Level, the weaker the delay effect would be.

Still, Ye Yunyi was quite satisfied.

This thing was still very useful.

After all, in a battle between experts, a single instant could be enough to determine victory or defeat.

’It’s not bad at all.’
