Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"It seems that using ordinary means is difficult to capture it. Even if the Divine King Temple employs the Sacred King weapon, it's probably still impossible to trap it..." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Just at that moment.

An orange tabby cat appeared on his shoulder.

It was the Artifact Spirit of the Divine King Temple.

The fat cat yawned, looking at Xiao Yi: "Master, what were you mumbling about just now?"

Xiao Yi glanced at it, speechless: "I just encountered a dead rat..."

Hiss!

The fat cat swiftly scurried up to Xiao Yi's head, arching its back, with its orange fur standing on end, looking around vigilantly: "Rat, rat? There's actually a rat in this realm passage? Where is it? Master, quick, chase it away..."

Xiao Yi grabbed the fat cat and tossed it aside, but it swiftly climbed back onto his shoulder: "Master, I'm scared, I'm scared of rats..."

Xiao Yi said speechlessly: "You are a cat, at least show some dignity as a cat, will you?"

To his surprise, the fat cat shook its head like a rattle drum, seriously saying: "I'm just an Artifact Spirit, not a real cat... If you think I can catch rats just because I look like this, then you are truly superficial..."

Superficial, my foot!

Xiao Yi felt a headache coming on, having just been messed with by a dead rat, and now this fat cat was driving him crazy.

Bang!

Xiao Yi grabbed it by the neck and tossed it aside again, looking at the fat cat attempting to climb back, he said fiercely: "Stay put, and if you spot that rat, tell me immediately!"

Meow...

The fat cat mewed pitifully.

It could only pace back and forth, occasionally scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Fearing that the rat would suddenly leap out and bite it.

Xiao Yi watched the fat cat's vigilant behavior, also speechless, pondering in his heart: "The Food Realm Beast is inherently gifted, capturing it alive is exceptionally difficult. How can I possibly catch it?"

While pondering.

Xiao Yi continued attacking the barriers between the realms relentlessly, never pausing to open the realm passage.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this month.

The barriers between the realms in front of Xiao Yi had become increasingly thin, and he could vaguely sense Little Lin's aura, but it was extremely weak.

Flickering and fading.

This made Xiao Yi extremely anxious, not knowing whether it was due to the barrier between the realms or if Little Lin had encountered some mishap.

What made Xiao Yi even more speechless was...

Throughout this month.

The Food Realm Beast frequently appeared in the realm passage, ambushing him.

Sometimes sneaking attacks.

Sometimes gnawing a few bites at the realm barrier.

Sometimes even bringing space crystals to block Xiao Yi's path.

Xiao Yi tried countless methods but couldn't capture the cunning creature.

Of course.

These weren't Xiao Yi's primary concerns.

What infuriated him most was that orange tabby cat, the dignified Artifact Spirit of the Divine King Temple, whom Xiao Yi set to guard and alert him of the Food Realm Beast's presence.

The result...

The first time the Food Realm Beast appeared, this guy was so scared it froze, pretending to be dead.

And as the Food Realm Beast appeared more often, the two became increasingly familiar with each other.

When the Food Realm Beast showed up, the fat cat pretended not to see it.

Sometimes even providing cover for the Food Realm Beast.

This really ticked Xiao Yi off!

He wished he could dismantle it.

Bang, bang, bang!

Xiao Yi swung the Qingping Sword, continually striking at the barrier before him. As the excavation process quickened, drawing nearer to breaking through the realm passage completely, Xiao Yi's anxiety grew even more.

He was sure of one thing, Little Lin's faint aura wasn't due to the barrier blockage.

Little Lin had definitely encountered an incident.

Moreover...

This realm passage led to an extradimensional battlefield.

Xiao Yi actually sensed the presence of Fang Qingzhu and the others in the domain battlefield, which made him even more uneasy: "Qingzhu and the others should be establishing the Qing Tian Holy Land and forming the Azure Sky Alliance in the Qingtian Realm. Now that they're here on the domain battlefield, there must have been a major upheaval in the Qingtian Realm. I must hurry..."

Xiao Yi glanced back in the direction of the orange fat cat.

These few times the Food Realm Beast appeared, it always used the fat cat's cover to secretly approach him for a sneak attack.

"There's only one last method left. If even this method can't capture this Food Realm Beast, it just means we're not destined... " Xiao Yi took a deep breath and focused on digging the realm passage once more.

At the same time.

The fat cat, which was just lying on the ground asleep, sneakily opened one eye, squinting to a thin line, and stealthily moved towards Xiao Yi's direction.

On its back, a transparent little mouse lay quietly.

It was indeed the Food Realm Beast!

Meow!

The fat cat yawned: "Master, I want to go back to the Divine King Temple and sleep now!"

"Oh!"

Xiao Yi nodded without turning his head.

The fat cat leaped high.

The Food Realm Beast on its back also revealed a sinister, anthropomorphic smile: "Haha, boy, you've fallen for it!"

However...

Just as it was about to land on Xiao Yi's back.

Xiao Yi suddenly turned around, revealing a conspiratorial smile, and said, "I've been waiting for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

An ominous black vortex appeared on Xiao Yi's chest, emitting a terrifying devouring force.

Chains of black shot out.

Clang, clang, clang!

The black chains directly wrapped around the Food Realm Beast and the fat cat, rolling them into the black vortex with a swoosh.

Xiao Yi's figure also flickered at the same time.

Disappeared from the spot.

A moment later.

Within the ancient celestial tomb...

Xiao Yi, the Food Realm Beast, and the fat cat appeared simultaneously, in this dim world, the suspended grand tomb appeared not the slightest bit sinister or mysterious, but instead, particularly sacred.

As soon as the Food Realm Beast and the fat cat landed.

The Food Realm Beast tried to tear open the void, but the result left it in despair. Looking at the intact and ripple-free space before it, the Food Realm Beast, bewildered, said, "Impossible, there's no place under heaven and earth that can trap me..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It charged again and again, attempting to tear the void.

All efforts were in vain.

The Food Realm Beast sat on the ground, a bewildered look directed at Xiao Yi: "This, what is this place? Why can't I use my innate divine ability here..."

Xiao Yi slowly spread his hands: "This is the ancient celestial tomb, and I am the master of the ancient celestial tomb—Xiao Yi, the contemporary Heavenly General!"

He leaned slightly forward.

"This is my domain; even the gods must bow to me..." Xiao Yi said, articulating each word slowly.

Rumble!

The ancient celestial tomb cooperated well, with chains clashing, producing a deep rumble.

Like a thunderstorm.

The pupils of the Food Realm Beast slowly dilated, looking at Xiao Yi with disbelief: "Ancient celestial tomb? Heavenly General? Why have I never heard of such an existence in this world?"

The orange fat cat beside it lowered its head.

Ever since coming to the ancient celestial tomb, it had remained silent.

At this moment.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words.

The lowered eyes of the fat cat flickered with a brilliant glint, a hint of relief, a realization, and even traces of excitement.

However...

Before it could think further.

Xiao Yi's voice echoed by its ear: "Fat cat... ah no, if I'm not mistaken, I should address you as Lord Divine King, right? Why don't you tell the Food Realm Beast what place this really is!"

"What?"

The fat cat trembled all over, suddenly raised its head, its eyes restored to a bewildered look, "Mas, master, what are you saying?"

Xiao Yi sneered: "I always found it strange how I easily gained control over the Divine King Temple, until now when I realized that the true master of the Divine King Temple, the Divine King himself, has been by my side all along. Don't rush to deny it. As I said, in the ancient celestial tomb, I am heaven, I am God... Here, nothing about you can be hidden..."
