NOVEL NEXT Chapter 626: Empress, Do You Like Me? (Please Follow)
The head massage had gone very smoothly for Xiao Ye, and he finished in just an hour.
But the Ancestral Empress had kept staring at him with those deep, meaningful eyes, making it hard for him to really let loose.
That kind of look, it was like a lovestruck young girl gazing dreamily at her crush—shy, but full of longing.
For this kind of look, Xiao Ye stayed on guard.*
*An Empress, in love with him?*
*Was this going to be one of those famous life delusions—"You like me"?*
*This was the freaking Ancestral Empress, come on.*
"Alright, the massage is all done, your body has been perfectly transformed into a cosmic being's body,"
"Your will body has turned into a soul body,"
"Now, you need to take better care of yourself, you can't just be reckless like before. If you die, you'll be really dead—there won't be any coming back,"
"Blue Star's restrictions on you have also been undone. The Space Origin body is still under your control, but you're not limited by its level anymore,"
Xiao Ye sat in the chair, his eyes clear as he spoke to the Ancestral Empress, who was currently on the floor, swinging her crystal-clear fists around.
The Ancestral Empress, whether intentionally or not, pulled off a little flourish stark naked, showing off her moves directly in front of Xiao Ye.
Her moves looked amazing, and those fists? Seriously, pretty as heck.
Good thing only Xiao Ye got to see this—if any other tough guy had watched, that lady's fists would've hooked his soul right out of his body.
"Ahem,"
"Empress, I'll wait for you outside,"
Xiao Ye walked out like nothing had happened.
The Ancestral Empress stopped, her eyes a little resentful, as she stepped into the bathroom.
*Hmph. I secretly learned human dance moves and danced just for you, and you don't even appreciate it, what a hopeless straight guy.*
Half an hour later, the two passed through the golden light gate and arrived at Wilderness Base City on Blue Star.
In the pavilion, Xiao Ye looked at the Ancestral Empress, now wearing a golden phoenix robe, and said with a smile,
"This is where we part ways, let's meet again if fate allows."
"The Fate Divine Spirit's memories have returned, and Blue Star's not in any real danger at the moment,"
But the Ancestral Empress shook her head, "The people from the Ziwei Star System will still come, we can't afford to be careless,"
"Who knows, maybe I'll need your help again someday,"
Xiao Ye froze, face turning a bit red, "Almost forgot about that. If people from the Ziwei Star System show up, tell me right away and I'll come,"
The Ancestral Empress nodded, thinking to herself,
*Hmph, don't think you'll get rid of me that easily. You've seen me naked, I'm only marrying you from now on!*
*I just wonder if the Human Emperor has any kind of feelings for me? Sigh, my body looks perfectly flawless—didn't he feel anything seeing it?*
Speak of the devil, and he appeared.
Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress's faces changed as they sensed the powerful energy sweeping out from beyond Blue Star, followed by a booming voice that echoed through space.
"Ancestral Empress, the Secretary General of the Ziwei Emperor Star's Domain Lord is here. Hurry and come welcome us!"
The two glanced at each other, their divine senses spreading out, immediately spotting a flood dragon carriage floating in the sky outside Blue Star.
Nine-headed Flood Dragons were pulling a carriage, and beside it stood eight powerful, purple-skinned beings that looked basically human.
Inside the carriage sat an even more formidable presence.
Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress arrived at the scene, expressions shifting again.
The nine-headed Flood Dragons were all at Emperor Realm Perfection, and the eight purple-skinned guardians beside the carriage were Star Domain Realm experts.
The noble carriage's occupant radiated even greater power, their realm seeming to be above even the Star Domain Realm.
This lineup was the strongest ever seen during any past alien invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy—totally unprecedented.
The gazes of the eight purple-skinned beings locked on the Ancestral Empress and Xiao Ye, and the overwhelming Star Domain Realm pressure crashed toward them in a wave.
Boom!
It felt like getting smashed by a hundred million semi-trucks, and both Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress staggered under the force.
Their legs buckled, and they almost dropped to their knees.
Xiao Ye drew on his strength, countering the Star Domain Realm pressure.
With a loud boom!
His pressure alone actually matched the combined might of the eight purple-skinned Star Domain Realm experts—and even started to overpower them, pushing the pressure back.
The eight purple-skinned Star Domain experts' legs bent, cold sweat pouring from their heads as they stared in shock.
"Y-you—you're only Star Domain Realm Tier One, so why is your pressure this strong,"
"There's eight of us, and we couldn't even hold out against you!"
"You're not from the Milky Way Galaxy—no way a freak this powerful could be born here,"
The burly Secretary General in the ornate carriage opened the door, stepping out with an elegant flourish. With a gentle wave, he dispelled the pressure on both sides.
A subtle, mysterious aura radiated from him, but he didn't harm Xiao Ye or the Ancestral Empress. He just smiled politely,
"You must be the Ancestral Empress."
"And you, sir, may I ask which young master you are from the cosmic great clans?"
The Ancestral Empress, pinned by the Secretary General's stare, felt a chill in her heart.*
*He might've been smiling, but the way he did it—it was all knives hidden in that grin, with scheming plans glimmering in his eyes.*
Xiao Ye said calmly, "You're not qualified to know where I come from."
"So what brings you all to the Milky Way Galaxy?"
The ritzy Secretary General's eyes narrowed, a hint of wariness creeping in his mind.*
*This kid looked super young, not even a hundred years old, and already reached Star Domain Realm Tier One.*
*And not just any Star Domain Realm—this kind of freakish power was up there with the prodigies on the cosmic great race leaderboards.*
*A guy like this had to be a young master from one of the cosmic great clans—not someone Ziwei Emperor Star should be messing with.*
He brought his fists together with full courtesy,
"Sir, I am the Secretary General of Ziwei Emperor Star. The Ancestral Empress is wanted for violating the laws of the Beast Hunting Star Domain. We're here to arrest her and bring her to Ziwei Emperor Star for punishment,"
"Please don't obstruct us—we're just following the law,"
The Ancestral Empress shot Xiao Ye a surprised glance, then turned and said, "Secretary General, you really just want to drag me back to hand over to your Domain Lord for his pleasure, don't you?"
"I'm telling you now, over my dead body!"
She sidled up to Xiao Ye, pressing her curvy figure close to him and hugging him tight, a touch of shyness flickering across her face,
"I already belong to him,"
"I'm not some untouched maiden anymore,"
*Xiao Ye's mind spun. What kind of play was the Empress up to now?*
The Secretary General glanced at the Ancestral Empress and shook his head, "Ancestral Empress, your face tells me you're still pure,"
"But as for your relationship with him—that I really can't tell,"
"Sir, please stand aside, we have to take the Ancestral Empress back for justice,"
Xiao Ye smirked and patted the Ancestral Empress's fragrant shoulder, saying coldly, "And what if I don't let you?"
The Secretary General's face darkened, "Don't let us?"
The eight purple-skinned Star Domain experts instantly surrounded them,
"Don't let us? Then die, kid!"
"Secretary General, why are we even being cautious? Just by his aura, he's obviously a human from the Milky Way Galaxy,"
"Right, that unique vibe only exists on the human homeworld—a Blue Star human. The cosmic great clans have been away from their homeworlds for ages; their energy's long since changed,"
The Secretary General's eyes flickered, brows furrowed tight. *Was he really from Blue Star?*
*But how could a Blue Star human be less than a hundred and already reach Star Domain Realm?*
"Hold up!"
He waved, and the eight Star Domain experts retreated.
The Secretary General smiled, "We'll give you some respect for now and won't arrest the Ancestral Empress. Let's go,"
He planned to investigate this human's background before making another move.
Xiao Ye, still being hugged tightly by the Ancestral Empress, frowned as he watched them leave. *That's it? They're just leaving already?*
