Chapter 440 197: Human Race Venerable, Angel Empress

One was an old man with white hair, another a beautiful woman in purple, and the third was someone he had met before.

Ao Wushuang!

Seeing Chen Yu and the others arrive, a smile appeared on Ao Wushuang's face.

The other man, the one with white hair, also gave a slight nod.

Chen Yu's gaze fell upon the white-haired old man and the purple-clad woman.

Their auras were profound; even he could not gauge their true depth.

In terms of aura, they were even stronger than the Tier Four True God from the Celestial Race he had encountered a few months ago.

'The white-haired old fellow is from the Dongfang family—Dongfang Wuji! A Tier Seven True God. The other one is Bai Ningshuang, a Tier Six True God.'

'Aside from Senior Wu, these two are currently the most powerful experts in our Human Race.'

Feng Miaoyin's voice echoed in his mind, explaining their identities.

Chen Yu's heart tightened.

'A Tier Seven True God and a Tier Six True God… They're stronger by a staggering margin!'

"You must be Fellow Daoist Chen, yes? HAHAHAHA! A young hero indeed! With a prodigy like you, the Human Race is destined to prosper!"

A hearty laugh boomed as the white-haired old man, Dongfang Wuji, approached him with a beaming smile.

Bai Ningshuang and Ao Wushuang also walked over to join them.

"Greetings, Senior Dongfang, Senior Bai," Chen Yu said, clasping his hands in a formal salute.

These two had been famous for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, and their strength was unparalleled. He wouldn't dare be disrespectful.

Although he had a certain pride after becoming a True God, he reserved it for the Alien Races. For these seniors who had protected the Human Race for so long, Chen Yu felt nothing but sincere respect.

Hearing Chen Yu speak, Dongfang Wuji laughed. "Haha, no need for such formalities. Now that you're a True God, we can just address each other as 'Fellow Daoist'."

"Exactly. Don't be such a stranger. We're all on the same side now," Bai Ningshuang added with a smile.

Chen Yu didn't say much more, simply giving a quiet nod.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you aren't married yet, are you?" Dongfang Wuji asked suddenly, blinking as he looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: "?"

Chen Yu was stunned by Dongfang Wuji's question.

'What does he mean by that?'

'Is he... planning to play matchmaker for me?'

Though startled, Chen Yu reacted quickly. He offered a faint smile and replied, "To answer Fellow Daoist Dongfang, I am not yet married."

"Is there anyone you have your eye on?" Dongfang Wuji leaned in, his large face close to Chen Yu's.

Chen Yu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"I say, old man, what do you think you're doing? Playing matchmaker? This is his private business," Bai Ningshuang said, rolling her eyes.

Dongfang Wuji, however, looked completely unfazed. "Private business needs attention too! Such excellent genes must be passed down. Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Chen, if you don't mind, I could introduce you to a few promising younger members of my Dongfang family. What do you say?"

"..."

'This old geezer is a crafty one!'

'This isn't just playing matchmaker; the bastard is trying to marry Chen Yu into the Dongfang family!'

'His intentions couldn't be more obvious!'

Everyone stared at Dongfang Wuji, completely speechless. He was, after all, a respected patriarch of the Human Race.

'For him to pull something so shameless!'

Then again, if it meant roping in a True God like Chen Yu, being a little shameless was probably worth it.

The others stared at Dongfang Wuji, but he paid them no mind. He kept his eyes on Chen Yu, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Fellow Daoist Chen, just give me the nod, and this old man will send a wife over to you immediately. If one isn't enough, two will do. You look healthy! In fact, there's no reason you can't just take all those young women from my Dongfang family at once."

"...?!!!"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Dongfang Wuji's proposal.

'Holy crap, does he have no shame?!'

'Is that even allowed?!'

'Shoving all of them at Chen Yu... you won't be satisfied until he's tied down, will you?'

Looking at Dongfang Wuji's hopeful expression, even Chen Yu felt he couldn't take much more of this.

'Take all the young women of the Dongfang family? Good heavens, what an audacious idea!'

'But, coming from a patriarch of the Dongfang family, who also happens to be the Human Race's current number-two Venerable... his words... actually made sense!'

"I say, old man, it's your first time meeting him; aren't you afraid you'll scare him off? Can't you act with a little more dignity?" Bai Ningshuang said irritably.

"Ahem, um, Senior Dongfang... I mean, Fellow Daoist. There's no rush on this matter. We can talk about it again in the future," Chen Yu said with a cough.

Hearing this, Dongfang Wuji grinned. "No problem. No rush. We'll talk about it later. We have plenty of time."

"Um, is Senior Wu here as well?" Chen Yu asked, changing the subject.

Bai Ningshuang nodded. "Yes, he's here. He's been waiting to see you."

"Then let's go pay our respects to Senior Wu first," Chen Yu said.

The group nodded and immediately headed toward the manor's villa.

Soon, they arrived inside the villa.

At a glance, he saw a familiar figure.

Wu Wudi!

Besides him, there was also a graceful and beautiful woman who exuded an air of pure elegance.

'She's from the Angel Race!'

Chen Yu sensed her aura and quickly determined the race of this elegant woman.

She wasn't of the Human Race, but the Angel Race!

Her aura was unfathomable, and he felt it was on par with Wu Wudi's.

'The Angel Race is powerful, but what kind of being could possibly reach Wu Wudi's level?'

Though shocked, Chen Yu quickly composed himself. Their eyes met, and it felt as if she could see right through him.

"You must be the Human Race's newly ascended Venerable, Chen Yu?" the elegant Angel woman asked, her voice soft and pleasant.

"I am Chen Yu. Greetings, Senior," Chen Yu responded quickly and politely.

"To have condensed four Laws right after becoming a True God... just as the rumors said. Fellow Daoist Chen truly has the potential to become a Great Emperor," the Angel woman said with a warm smile.

"You praise me too much, Senior," Chen Yu replied with a faint smile.

"Come, Chen Yu, let me introduce you. This is the strongest expert of the Angel Race, the Angel Empress."

Wu Wudi spoke up, revealing her identity in a single sentence.

The Angel Empress!

As soon as Wu Wudi spoke, Chen Yu's pupils contracted.

Feng Miaoyin and the others, however, showed no surprise and offered polite greetings.

'The Angel Emperor's woman.' Chen Yu's mind reeled as he looked at the elegant woman.

He didn't know much about the Angel Race, but he had certainly heard of the Angel Empress.

It could be said that she was, without a doubt, the single most powerful being in the Angel Race today.

'The Angel Empress... her strength is probably no different from that of a Great Emperor.'

No wonder she could converse so casually with Wu Wudi.

Chen Yu hadn't expected the Angel Empress herself to attend his god-ascension ceremony.

'She's giving me a tremendous amount of face!'

"Greetings, Empress," Chen Yu said, saluting again as he calmed the storm in his heart.

The Empress looked at Chen Yu, a pure smile on her face that seemed to have a purifying effect, unconsciously putting one's mind at ease.

"There's no need for formalities, Fellow Daoist Chen. I have long heard of your name, and today I finally have the pleasure of meeting you."

"It is but an empty reputation. You praise me too much, Empress," Chen Yu replied, poised and confident.

"To break the Array of Celestial Gods set up by four Celestial Race Venerables all by yourself is hardly an empty reputation," the Empress said with a gentle smile.

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Have a seat," Wu Wudi said.

Chen Yu and the others nodded and took a seat on the sofa.
