Just as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Ah Yin's expression became strange as she looked at her.
She had originally thought that Xiao Wu would be very happy to hear Gu Yuena say that.
Because after the fact, Xiao Wu would always complain to her about how rough Yang Yuan was with her and how he completely disregarded her feelings.
Ah Yin had actually believed her, thinking that Xiao Wu still had Tang San in her heart and felt no affection for Yang Yuan.
To her surprise, Xiao Wu was just being stubborn.
When the time actually came to drive her away, she opposed it more fiercely than anyone else.
Even Gu Yuena was momentarily stunned.
Actually, the reason she had made this demand of Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, aside from a flare-up of her possessiveness over Yang Yuan, was also because she remembered how resolutely Xiao Wu had resisted at the beginning, so she wanted to give her a chance.
However, Xiao Wu's current behavior exceeded her expectations.
Gu Yuena's brow furrowed slightly at Xiao Wu's performance.
She could make this demand, but if Ah Yin and Xiao Wu opposed it, she absolutely could not force them, otherwise Yang Yuan would certainly be unhappy.
She didn't want the two of them to affect her relationship with Yang Yuan.
Thinking of this, she pondered for a moment and said, "Are you sure? This is your only chance. If you want to go back on your word later, it will be too late!"
"I remember you once said the person you loved was that Tang San. I didn't care before, but if you make a choice today, you cannot be fickle and think of other men in the future. Otherwise, Yang Yuan won't even need to lift a finger—I will kill you myself!"
If Xiao Wu and Ah Yin truly decided to stay by Yang Yuan's side and serve him, then even if Gu Yuena was somewhat dissatisfied, she wouldn't object.
At most, she would just treat the two of them as bedchamber maids!
If Yang Yuan's women were seen as an Emperor's harem, Gu Yuena had her own set of standards for measuring status and Rank.
Without a doubt, she was the Empress.
As for Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong, the four of them had known Yang Yuan the longest and were close to him, so they could be Noble Consorts.
As for the remaining Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, they were naturally just ordinary concubines, perhaps even less than that.
And among all the women, these two were the ones Gu Yuena considered the least threatening.
If it were the other four, they would likely compete with her for Yang Yuan's love.
Although she was confident in herself, she wasn't so arrogant as to ignore them entirely.
To the side, after hearing Gu Yuena's words, Xiao Wu explained with a flushed face, "I only treat Third Brother as an older brother now."
Though she was loath to admit it, she had indeed adapted to, and even grown to like, all of Yang Yuan's rough behavior over these past days.
Compared to Tang San's meticulous care and holding her in the palm of his hand, the sense of stimulation Yang Yuan brought her was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Furthermore, amidst the roughness, Yang Yuan also had moments of tenderness and sweet words, which likewise made Xiao Wu unable to help being enchanted.
Besides this, whether it was Xiao Wu trying to find excuses to ease her guilt or for other reasons...
Whenever Xiao Wu was alone, she would subconsciously compare Tang San and Yang Yuan.
In the past, Tang San was the most perfect in her mind.
He was loyal, pure, and hated evil; aside from not being very tall and not being exceptionally handsome, he practically had no other flaws.
But since being apart from Tang San for a long time, it was as if she had suddenly become desensitized, discovering many problems she hadn't noticed in the past.
For example, the supposedly loyal and pure Tang San.
In order to achieve good results in the Soul Master Tournament, he concealed the information that the secret medicine had powerful side effects, causing Shrek's Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others to nearly become crippled, with their talent and Foundation damaged.
For another example, he who always hated evil had now become a Fallen Soul Master, not only wantonly slaughtering Spirit Beasts but even killing many Spirit Masters.
This information had all come from Yang Yuan's mouth during their casual chats.
At first, Xiao Wu didn't believe it for a second, but this information wasn't a secret; it could be verified with a single inquiry.
Even Xiao Wu didn't know where that Third Brother from back then had gone.
They had spent six years together; could it be that he had been putting on a facade in front of her the whole time?
In contrast...
Yang Yuan's temperament and appearance were otherworldly, and he was friendly. Everyone in Heaven Dou Academy, from the Three Committee Members down to every student, was thoroughly impressed by him.
Of course, there was one more important point.
Perhaps starting from Nuoding Academy, Yang Yuan had briefly left a seed in her heart;
Or perhaps back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Yuan had the ability to kill her to absorb her spirit ring and seize her Spirit Bone, but he didn't do so;
Or perhaps at Shrek Academy, Yang Yuan let her go once again and brought her back to Heaven Dou Academy.
Finally, there was the trip to Sea God Island; faced with such a fortuitous opportunity, he was still willing to take her along without reservation.
Precisely because of all these experiences, Xiao Wu rapidly fell for Yang Yuan after losing her virginity to him.
Of course, she still liked to be stubborn in front of Yang Yuan normally, which was a different kind of fun for him.
Gu Yuena's expression returned to calm, and she said indifferently, "You'd better mean what you say."
After saying that, she ignored Xiao Wu and turned to look at Ah Yin: "And you?"
Of course, asking this was also redundant.
Ah Yin didn't hesitate at all, looking youthful and vibrant: "Of course I want to continue serving Papa."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, then said to the two of them, "In the future, unless I permit it or Yang Yuan actively seeks you out, you are not allowed to step into his bedroom at night. Can you do that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not just Xiao Wu, but even Ah Yin's face showed a look of unhappiness.
But Gu Yuena's strength was right there; how could the two of them dare to object? They could only respond with muffled voices, their anger unvoiced: "We understand!"
Gu Yuena gave a faint "Mm" and turned to leave.
Once she was far away, Xiao Wu immediately went into a frantic complaining mode.
"Tsk, isn't she just relying on her strength? Look at her, so arrogant she's about to lose her sense of direction. Just wait until the day I'm stronger than her, then we'll see if she still dares to boss me around."
"Shh!" Ah Yin made a gesture and then sent a mental transmission: "Xiao Wu, did you forget that the Sovereign's injuries are fully healed? Be careful she doesn't hear what you just said, or she might just kick you out right then and there."
Ah Yin's words immediately gave Xiao Wu a big fright. She looked around nervously, and after waiting several seconds without seeing Gu Yuena return, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, still stubborn, she transmitted: "Who told her to be so overbearing first? She was the one who told us to marry the Boss and have babies, and she's also the one who wants to kick us aside now."
Xiao Wu looked indignant, her face written all over with rebellion.
After Ah Yin heard this, although her face didn't show an expression of righteous indignation like Xiao Wu's, she was equally dissatisfied with Gu Yuena's behavior in her heart, though she didn't show it.
However, she now wanted to inherit the Sea God Position even faster.
She had heard Yang Yuan mention that although Gu Yuena's mental force had reached the God King level, her actual strength was still at the First-level God level.
As long as she inherited the Sea God Position, she wouldn't have to fear Gu Yuena anymore.
At that time, she could go find Yang Yuan whenever she wanted.
However, this meant she needed to return to Sea God Island as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, it had been several months since she left Sea God Island. It was indeed time to return and complete the remaining two God Trials.
...
After Ah Yin made up her mind, she immediately found Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong.
The test for the two of them was the top-tier eighth test.
Like Ah Yin, they had only completed the first seven tests.
Upon learning that Ah Yin was preparing to set off, they naturally didn't object.
Especially Ning Rongrong; ever since she was sent away by Gu Yuena from a distance last time, she had been holding a grudge in her heart.
However, she didn't go to Yang Yuan to back her up. Besides not wanting to make things difficult for him, her Rank was also a bit embarrassing in front of Gu Yuena. If she forcibly asked Yang Yuan to back her up, she would inevitably be looked down upon.
As for Ye Lingling, her thoughts weren't so complicated; she simply wanted to Cultivate faster to keep up with Yang Yuan's pace, even if she could only see his back.
The three gathered together, and Ning Rongrong said, "Then how should we get to Sea God Island? Are we still going by carriage?"
Heaven Dou City was too far from Sea God Island; the conventional method would likely take a month or two of travel.
Ah Yin said, "No need for that trouble. We can just have Brother Xiao Yuan send us there. It'll be very fast."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"
The three of them discussed it and immediately brought up the matter during dinner that evening.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "That's a good thing. It's better to finish the God Trial early. Then tomorrow, I'll send the three of you to Sea God Island."
Ning Rongrong cheered, "Brother Xiao Yuan is the best!"
After the meal, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Ah Yin sat together and chatted.
Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong only learned the news of Gu Yuena's pregnancy from Xiao Wu's mouth.
When this news came out, it immediately left the two of them so shocked they were speechless.
And beyond the shock, a strong sense of urgency arose in their hearts.
"Sigh, why isn't there any movement from you at all?"
Ning Rongrong looked at her flat lower abdomen, which didn't have a trace of fat, and secretly cursed it for being disappointing, even wondering if it was because she hadn't exercised enough at the time.
As for Ye Lingling, she felt even more urgency.
Someone else's child was about to be born, yet she hadn't even gotten on the bus yet!!
Clearly, among the women, she had known Yang Yuan even earlier than Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and Gu Yuena.
If this continued, and once Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and the others were all pregnant, wouldn't her status in Yang Yuan's heart drop again and again?
"No, I absolutely cannot let this continue!"
Ye Lingling thought to herself, a flash of determination in her eyes.
This time, she would no longer be timid and weak!
Nighttime.
The moonlight spilled over Ye Lingling like a clear radiance.
She had changed into her most beautiful dress, showing off her most beautiful posture, and arrived at Yang Yuan's bedroom with a nervous heart.
At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and the thumping of Ye Lingling's heart was exceptionally loud.
Her cheeks were flushed with two patches of red, showing her inner shyness at this moment.
She took a deep breath and reached out to push open the door to Yang Yuan's bedroom.
As soon as she entered, she immediately met Yang Yuan's eyes, which were like a vast sea of stars.
In the moment she locked eyes with Yang Yuan, the air seemed to freeze, and Ye Lingling's brain went instantly blank.
Her courage from a moment ago vanished into thin air, and she turned around, about to flee in a bit of a panic.
But at this time, how could Yang Yuan possibly let her escape like that?
The corners of Yang Yuan's mouth curled up slightly as he teased, "Sister Lingling, since you're already here, why not sit for a while before leaving?"
After saying that, he gave a casual wave of his hand.
Ye Lingling was suddenly pushed toward Yang Yuan's bed by a gentle, invisible force from behind.
At the same time, the bedroom door closed!
Yang Yuan's face rapidly enlarged in Ye Lingling's eyes.
Under that push just now, Ye Lingling let out a "Ya!" and fell forward onto the bed.
But at the moment she fell, Yang Yuan followed the momentum and pulled her into his embrace.
Yang Yuan took a light sniff of the natural fragrance emanating from Ye Lingling's body and teased, "Sister Lingling is exceptionally brave today!"
Ye Lingling's cheeks were shyly red as she forcibly defended herself: "What brave? I don't know what you're talking about. I just couldn't sleep and was taking a walk, and happened to come here."
Clearly, when it came down to it, she couldn't help but want to back out again.
But how could Yang Yuan let her have her way?
"Oh, taking a walk instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"Sister Lingling, that's a really poor excuse."
"It's... it's not an excuse!" Ye Lingling's voice stuttered as she said hurriedly.
The expression on Yang Yuan's face was still teasing: "Still subconsciously retreating? Sister Lingling, let me help you recognize your true heart!"
After saying that, his hand suddenly moved, looking like a flash of afterimages.
Ye Lingling suddenly felt a chill on her body and subconsciously looked down.
The next second!
"Ah—"
A scream came from Ye Lingling's mouth. Her body suddenly stiffened, and a large area of snowy white was exposed to the air.
That beautiful dress she had specially put on had somehow appeared on the screen to the side, and she hadn't even reacted.
Ye Lingling held her hands over her chest. There was no anger in her eyes, only endless shyness and a misty haze.
Yang Yuan's gaze was tender, with a hint of appreciation and playfulness.
"Sister Lingling, is this self-created Five Illusory Gauze Palm of mine passable?"
Ye Lingling stuttered, "You... you bad man, how could you create such an embarrassing Spirit Ability?"
Yang Yuan said with a grin, "Men aren't bad, women don't love. Does Sister Lingling love me?"
Ye Lingling spat out a single word in a voice as soft as a mosquito's: "Love!"
Getting Ye Lingling's answer, Yang Yuan laughed heartily and flipped over to press her beneath him.
Soon, the sound of rhythmic breathing echoed in the bedroom.
...
The next day, Ning Rongrong looked at the radiant and extremely supple Ye Lingling, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.
She leaned forward, winked, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Lingling, you're not being honest!"
Ye Lingling's face immediately showed a flush of shyness, and she couldn't say a word.
Ah Yin and Xiao Wu also arrived one after another, likewise noticing the change in Ye Lingling and knowing what she had experienced last night; after all, they were all experienced in such matters.
At this time, Yang Yuan walked over from a distance with a smile.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's prepare to set off."
As he spoke, he arrived in the middle of the women.
Seeing that the women were ready, he then made a stroke in the air, and a spatial rift immediately appeared before them.
Yang Yuan raised his hand and waved a faint light to envelop the women. An invisible force carried them as they stepped into the spatial rift together.
When the women opened their eyes again, the surrounding scenery had changed drastically.
They had unexpectedly arrived at Sea God Island!
