NOVEL NEXT Chapter 627: Human Emperor, I Like You! (Please Follow)
Xiao Ye watched the disappearing figure, lost in thought.*
The Secretary General of the Ziwei Emperor Star's Domain Lord in the Beast Hunting Star Domain? Their realm should be above Star Domain Realm, into the Sovereign Realm.*
The Sovereign Realm was more than a hundred times stronger than the Star Domain Realm—Xiao Ye himself didn't even dare claim he could take down that Secretary General.*
*If that Secretary General turned back, what was he supposed to do?*
Lost in those thoughts, Xiao Ye suddenly felt something was off, a tingly, electric sensation spread across his chest, as if a little hand was stroking him.
He looked down—and was completely stunned.
The Ancestral Empress had basically draped herself all over him, her delicate face tinged with a blush, and her tiny hand was making circles on his chest.
Those proud and dazzling eyes were full of curiosity too.
She smacked her lips, then said,
"Human Emperor, your chest is so solid, so broad."
"If I could use it as a pillow to sleep, it'd be super comfy."
Xiao Ye grabbed her soft, boneless hand and said, speechless, "Empress, how did you get so improper all of a sudden?"
"That Ziwei Emperor Star threat still hasn't been solved, and here you are thinking about this? It's like you're in heat or something."
"Get down, quick!"
The Ancestral Empress pouted, reluctantly got down, and before stepping off, she sneakily copped another feel, giggling the whole time.
She was acting like a total girl perv!
Xiao Ye said in a low voice, "That Secretary General let you off for some reason, but chances are he'll come back. We need to figure out how to deal with it."
The Ancestral Empress's eyes spun with mischief.
She said, "That Secretary General probably held back because he saw you were such a young Star Domain Realm—he must be worried about your background, so he didn't just snatch me right away."
"Human Emperor, do you want me to get taken away and made into the Ziwei Emperor Star Domain Lord's plaything?"
"If you wish, I totally could."
Xiao Ye shook his head, "You've done so much for the Milky Way, for Blue Star, you're the Empress after all—how could I let you be a plaything?"
"Of course I don't want that."
"Sigh, aren't you worried at all? They're insanely strong. If this Secretary General fails, I bet even stronger beings will come after you later."
The Ancestral Empress chuckled, "Human Emperor, the Domain Lord only has her eye on me because I'm still a virgin."
"I've got a way that could completely break the Domain Lord's lust after me."
Xiao Ye's eyes lit up, "A virgin?"
"Actually, I've got a way too! Guaranteed to work."
The Ancestral Empress was overjoyed, her pretty face turning red, lowering her head in shyness. "So, what's your idea? I'm down for anything."
*The Human Emperor must have a thing for her.*
*Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of this.*
Xiao Ye glanced at the Empress's alluring figure, then blurted out,
"Just change your gender, problem solved."
"You'll switch up, we'll be bros, once we get stronger, together we'll steamroll the Ziwei Emperor Star!"
"The Milky Way belongs to the Beast Hunting Star Domain, and it can totally be an Emperor Star System too. Once we flatten Ziwei Emperor Star, Blue Star becomes the Emperor Star of the Beast Hunting Star Domain, I'll be Domain Lord and you'll be my Secretary General!"
The more he talked, the more excited he got, thinking it was actually feasible—his eyes were practically glowing.
"!" The Ancestral Empress's face instantly darkened, her lips twitching as she complained,
"What kind of inhuman plan is that? I've always been a woman, always will be—there's no way I'm turning into a man."
"Besides, Divine Spirits might not care too much about their bodies, but once one's formed, you can't just change stuff at will. We're not like regular humans—can't just switch genders as the mood hits."
*She was at her wits' end.*
*The grand Human Emperor, and this is the best he could come up with?*
Xiao Ye said gloomily, "Fine, if you don't want to, forget it."
"You said you had a solution—what's your idea?"
The Ancestral Empress's cheeks blushed again, a trace of shyness in her eyes. She poked Xiao Ye's arm with her finger.
In her cutest voice, she said,
"Why don't I just become a married woman?"
"That Domain Lord is the Supreme Sovereign of the Beast Hunting Star Domain—she's got her pride, right? If I'm married, would she still be interested?"
Xiao Ye nodded, thinking it made perfect sense.
The Domain Lord sat way above everyone else, in control of everything, the Supreme Sovereign of the Beast Hunting Star Domain.
*No way was she like that famous Cao Zei from history—going after married women on purpose, right?*
The Ancestral Empress was delighted—the Human Emperor's nod was as good as agreement for her.
*As long as the Human Emperor did something with her, she could officially and openly become his wife!*
Xiao Ye looked at the Empress's gorgeous face,
"Empress, is there someone you like?"
"Which Divine Spirit do you fancy? Bring him here—I'll set you two up, officiate, tie the knot myself."
The Ancestral Empress's face fell, gritting her teeth, her eyes nearly shooting fire.
*Human Emperor, she was being so obvious and you still didn't get it! What a blockhead, completely clueless!*
*How the hell did you win over so many Beast Girls if you're this dense? Not even a clue!*
She ground her teeth, then huffed,
"There's no Divine Spirit on Blue Star who measures up. None are as good as me."
"Forget it, I'll just grab some Divine Spirit at random and get married, as long as I become a married woman."
"Human Emperor, you really want to play matchmaker for us?"
Xiao Ye said a little regretfully, "You really want to marry a Divine Spirit? Well, if that's what you want, it's all up to you."
He turned away, mumbling under his breath,
"I was hoping the Empress would marry me, but she never said she liked me, so forget it."
"Yeah, the Empress is such a battle maniac, like she'd ever fall for a guy. Divine Spirits like her were probably meant to be single forever."
The Ancestral Empress's heart was gripped by despair upon hearing those first words.
*Human Emperor actually wished she'd marry someone else?*
*That basically meant he had zero desire for her himself.*
*Sigh, is she not pretty enough? Is her figure not good enough? Is her realm too low? Not talented enough?*
*She actually wasn't the Human Emperor's type!?*
But when she caught Xiao Ye's muttered words at the end, her entire Divine Spirit form jolted; all that despair vanished in a flash, replaced by overflowing joy and excitement.*
She threw out her arms, leaped forward, glued herself to Xiao Ye, and hugged him tight, blurting out excitedly,
"Human Emperor, I just knew you must have feelings for me!"
"Forget finding some Divine Spirit, I'll just marry you!"
"You don't even need to play matchmaker—just come marry me, okay?"
"I—I like you!"
Xiao Ye was momentarily dazed—the Empress really did like him, it wasn't just his imagination.
*Damn, this was the freaking Ancestral Empress!*
It took him a long time to snap out of it. He said,
"Empress, I've got a lot of Beast Girls, are you actually serious?"
The Ancestral Empress nodded with certainty, "Truer than true!"
Strangely, Xiao Ye felt a touch of delight in his heart, but looked calm on the surface, smiling as he said,
"Then let's form a contract."
"After your body is transformed, we can make a contract, just like how human boys and girls do—forming a pact and transforming into fierce beasts together. But with Divine Spirits, it's just becoming a sexless Origin controller."
"For us humans, making a contract is basically getting married."
The Ancestral Empress knew that, since the last time the Reincarnation Divine Spirit signed a contract with the Human Emperor.
She answered happily,
"No problem!"
