Chapter 58: Congratulations from All Directions

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Congratulations from All Directions

As they looked at the manor, their eyes began to shine!

After all, this place!

In the past, it was a tourist attraction!

And even further back, it was a place only hereditary nobles could live!

A place they never could have dreamed of living in!

And now, they actually had the chance!

"Let’s go!"

"Let’s go inside and take a look!"

Ye Yunyi patted them on the shoulder.

And so, they headed inside!

Bai Zhixi also saw Dongfang Ruoyu standing there.

"Eastern City Lord," Bai Zhixi greeted Dongfang Ruoyu.

After all, the two of them had been on good terms.

Then she looked at Ye Yunyi, her eyes full of questions.

Ye Yunyi understood. "Just take her inside for a look. It’s fine."

"Ruoyu, let’s go have a look inside!"

Bai Zhixi then pulled Dongfang Ruoyu inside with her.

Once they were inside, Zhou Huaiwei and the others looked at Dongfang Ruoyu. "Little Sister Bai, who is this?"

"This is Dongfang Ruoyu, the City Lord of Seaside Barrier. You all should have heard of her before," Bai Zhixi introduced.

Dongfang Ruoyu nodded at them.

A gesture of respect!

Even though they were all ordinary people!

But there was no getting around it—these were all Ye Yunyi’s wives!

And City Lord Ye was a powerful Mutant who could slaughter a Diamond Powerhouse like Zhao Kang!

And their status rose with their husband’s.

"Oh, I see. Let’s all go take a look inside together."

Zhou Huaiwei welcomed Dongfang Ruoyu.

Then, her eyes scanned Dongfang Ruoyu’s face and figure!

That face, that graceful build.

’Our husband will definitely like her!’ Zhou Huaiwei mused.

Then, she led the group as they ran further inside!

Looking at the decorations inside!

In an instant!

Everyone was dazzled!

Magnificent and splendid!

To describe it as such was no exaggeration!

Right then, the flock of chattering women all rushed deeper inside!

Opening each room was like opening a blind box!

It simply couldn’t have been more fun.

Outside, Ye Yunyi watched them with a smile. "You’ve all worked hard."

"It was no trouble at all!" the leading Mutant immediately said.

"How about this: I’m holding a wedding banquet tonight. Everyone is welcome to attend."

His words made everyone’s breath catch!

What did this mean?!

It meant!

He was treating them as his own people?!

You have to understand, back in Zhao Kang’s time, they never even had the chance to see him!

Now!

They actually had such an opportunity!

And you have to remember!

This man was even stronger than Zhao Kang!

’If we get on his good side, our futures are set!’

At this, many of the Mutants’ hearts stirred. If this great man was getting married and invited them, they couldn’t show up without observing the proper etiquette!

They had to bring gifts!

And not just any old junk!

It had to be something good!

’We have to go back and prepare!’

This thought instantly flooded everyone’s mind.

"Sir, we’ll head back first to prepare. Then we’ll come back to help you set up. What do you think?"

"Alright."

After getting Ye Yunyi’s approval, everyone left.

Ye Yunyi looked at the remaining items. Seeing that no one was around, he waved his hand.

Rapid Absorption!

The mountain-like pile of Crystal Cores instantly turned into a surging torrent of Energy that flowed into Ye Yunyi’s body!

As expected!

He still hadn’t advanced!

’Difficult!’

’Too difficult!’

Ye Yunyi sighed!

Then, he looked at the remaining items and snapped his fingers!

The next moment!

Five figures appeared from a distance, arriving before Ye Yunyi!

They were none other than his five Divine-level Puppets.

The Crimson Flame Tiger and others came over as well.

Ye Yunyi gave some instructions, having them move the items into the gardens.

Inside, Zhou Huaiwei and the others had been exploring for a long time, and they had barely seen half of the place!

It was too big!

It was simply enormous!

"Honey, this place is too empty! It’s too big!"

Zhou Huaiwei said, "There are so few of us. How could we possibly fill it?"

Beside her, Bai Zhixi chuckled softly. "At our husband’s speed, I’m afraid it won’t be long before this whole estate is filled up."

Her words made the Han Family Sisters and the other women standing by smile.

Dongfang Ruoyu: "..."

’Wha—’

’Is this how you all talk to each other?’

’Are you always this open?’

Ye Yunyi glanced at Bai Zhixi. He felt that ever since this girl had her breakthrough, she had been getting a bit too cheeky!

’Looks like she needs a good spanking!’

Bai Zhixi saw the look in Ye Yunyi’s eyes and immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze!

Ye Yunyi then led them to the cellar.

He had the Crystal Cores and Spirit Plants from outside moved in.

Everyone stared at the Crystal Cores and gasped!

What a terrifying quantity!

What terrifying wealth!

Dongfang Ruoyu watched, thinking to herself, ’Some of these Crystal Cores must be the ones I and the other City Lords handed over.’

’But! I also know we only handed them over because we were scared!’

’Since they were handed over, they belonged to Zhao Kang!’

’Now that Ye Yunyi has killed Zhao Kang, these things naturally belong to Ye Yunyi!’

’I don’t even need to ask. I know there’s no way I could get them back!’

「As evening approached.」

The Mutants arrived.

They helped set up the venue!

「That evening.」

The venue was ready!

Everything was decorated in festive red!

Hearing the news, many families from within Cyan Flower Barrier came as well!

"Sir! Congratulations on your wedding! I am from the Wu Family, and this is our family’s congratulatory gift for you!"

The Wu Family Patriarch said, then opened the gift!

Inside was a mutated ginseng!

It was almost in the shape of a person!

Ye Yunyi looked at it; he naturally knew the value of this Spirit Plant!

"Thanks!"

Ye Yunyi nodded and accepted it.

"Sir! I am Zheng Cheng, Patriarch of the Zheng Family. This is the gift I’ve prepared for you: two Late-Golden Stage Crystal Cores."

As Zheng Cheng opened the gift, he felt a pang of heartache.

His family had paid a great price to obtain these Crystal Cores!

"Sir, I am..."

"This is my..."

...

After that, one figure after another arrived.

Bearing congratulatory gifts!

All of them offering their congratulations.

Finally, Bai Zhixi took the lead, starting to record all the gifts!

The more she recorded, the more shocked she became!

’These Patriarchs really spared no expense!’

’So awesome!’

Of course, she welcomed it.

Each time she accepted a gift, the pained expressions of the Patriarchs were met with Bai Zhixi’s beaming, flower-like smile!

Her hands were getting numb from accepting so many gifts!

A while later, everyone was seated!

The grand banquet began!

Everyone ate and drank.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Ruoyu was sitting with several other City Lords.

The City Lords saw that Dongfang Ruoyu had a good relationship with Bai Zhixi, which meant she could likely get in touch with Ye Yunyi.

So they immediately made a suggestion.

"Eastern City Lord, what do you think? Should we ask City Lord Ye to return those Crystal Cores?"

"Yeah, City Lord Ye is so powerful and wealthy, he probably looks down on our meager things anyway. We can invite him to a meal tomorrow and bring it up."

These words made Dongfang Ruoyu frown.

She looked at them and said bluntly, "Do you really think you can get them back?"
