Chapter 1211 (The Locals)
So, Ye Hua summoned Jue Tian.
"Subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty."
"I've been waiting for so long. Why hasn't anyone attacked? What's going on?" Ye Hua was actually quite annoyed. He had been waiting for days, but no one showed up.
Jue Tian respectfully said, "Your Majesty, perhaps those people are afraid of Your Majesty's authority, so they choose to avoid confrontation."
"Jue Tian, you've also become a flatterer now."
"Every word spoken by the subordinate is true."
"Then Your Majesty will gladly accept it."
Jue Tian smiled and lowered his head. It seemed that Your Majesty was in a good mood.
"In a few days, this deity and Baizhi will leave for some time. Once there is news about Qing Xu, I'll personally act. You all stay home and guard. Who knows if those people will attack. Also, everyone should improve their strength. Don't regret it later if you get defeated.""Your Majesty, rest assured, I will supervise this area. Your Majesty can be at ease."
"Well, what about those who went through the trials?"
Jue Tian whispered, "Three heavily injured, others have different degrees of injuries, and they haven't had a break during their rest time."
"Don't intervene unless it's a matter of life and death; otherwise, it loses its meaning."
"Yes! The subordinate understands!"
Although he didn't plan to interfere, Ye Hua still had Jue Tian keep an eye on things.
Standing up, Ye Hua planned to check on Gong Yue's situation. Little Tian was not home, nor was his mother. A woman sitting alone in the palace waiting might feel depressed.
So, it was essential to check. If Little Tian returned and found that his wife had become crazy, it wouldn't be good.
Entering Gong Yue's palace, Ye Hua saw Gong Yue tending to flowers and plants, accompanied by palace maids, appearing different from what he had in mind.
"Paying respects to Your Majesty." The palace maids greeted the Emperor when they saw him.
Gong Yue did the same.
Ye Hua waved his hand, asking the palace maids to step aside. He had some questions for Gong Yue.
"Gong Yue, how have you been these days?" Ye Hua asked lightly. Among the entire team, Gong Yue was the only one with a child, excluding his wives.
Gong Yue joyfully replied, "Thanks for the Emperor's concern. I've been well these past few days."
"Yeah, if it's boring, just leave the palace for a stroll, or go talk to Yue Hua and the others."
Gong Yue was a bit hesitant to go, but she couldn't express it, so she respectfully said, "Yes, I will go."
"I'll be going out for a bit in a few days. Be sure to take care of yourself."
"Alright, I won't let anything happen to the child."
Ye Hua was relieved; he had witnessed the changes in Gong Yue, and Little Tian was quite fortunate this time.
But he feared having too much good fortune, making it difficult to enjoy.
After some small talk, Ye Hua left the sleeping palace, wondering how Qing Ya and the others were doing.
It might take a while for them to return, which was fine. He could spend some quality time alone with Baizhi.
Three days later, Ye Hua and Donghuang Baizhi appeared at Spirit City.
However, both changed their appearances slightly. Mainly, they wanted to hear about the reactions to Ye Yuanqing becoming the Empress and if there were any concerns.
It would also allow Ye Yuanqing to be aware of it, perhaps something a big brother should do.
"This feels really good." Donghuang Baizhi held Ye Hua's arm, snuggling close. She initially thought Ye Hua was joking or making demands, but today she realised it was true. It seemed she had misunderstood Ye Hua. She would just have to be obedient from now on.
"Baizhi, I haven't spent much time with you before. Now, are you satisfied?" Ye Hua said softly, with a hint of affection in his smile.
"Satisfied, I'm so happy that I could die."
"Hahaha, that's the way to go." Ye Hua was very happy. It was so simple when his woman was happy. Money had nothing to do with it; Ye Hua had never experienced having money and didn't know what it was like.
This was related to cultivation; with profound cultivation, one could savour it endlessly. A man should always be ready!
"Let's go in and have a cup of tea, and listen." Ye Hua pulled Donghuang Baizhi into a teahouse.
They found a regular seat, ordered a plate of peanuts, a small pot of wine, and listened to what people were saying around them.
Ye Hua felt that the people around were all Master-level figures.
"Hey, have you heard? The recent events in the palace are incredible."
"Does the process even matter? Anyway, I think the Empress is great."
"The Empress is indeed good, but I bet none of you know the bloody details. The level of brutality reached ten stars!"
"Now that you mention it, I'm curious. What exactly happened?"
"Then I'll tell you all, but what about the tea money?"
"I'll cover it," Ye Hua said casually.
"This brother is generous."
Ye Hua liked hearing that and shouted, "The expenses here, today, will be covered by me, Young Master Yeh personally."
The crowd was stunned but then erupted in cheers. The boss was truly different.
Donghuang Baizhi sighed lightly; did they have to do this too? It was quite enough.
"Let me tell you, on that day, various anomalies occurred. It wasn't a coincidence. Our Empress was initially suppressed tightly. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because someone from the mysterious Donghuang family, serving as a backer for the royal family, arrived. It wasn't looking good for our Empress."
"Ah, there's such a thing. What happened later?"
"Later was extraordinary. Our Prince Ye descended from the sky, a mighty presence shaking everyone. Scared out of their wits, those royal family members didn't dare utter a word. They immediately offered the throne with both hands. Just imagine how awesome that was."
Ye Hua's mouth twitched after hearing this rumour. Even the rumours said he descended from the sky, a mighty presence...
Donghuang Baizhi was lightly giggling beside him.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Hua reached out and pinched the Empress's cheek, making it seem like his appearance couldn't achieve such an effect.
"Nothing, just find it amusing." Donghuang Baizhi couldn't hold back her laughter, looking at the people around who were ready to elevate Ye Hua to the heavens.
Ye Hua was about to spank this woman's butt, questioning his mighty presence.
"Ye Hua, what's the story behind this Donghuang family?" Donghuang Baizhi curiously asked.
Ye Hua didn't intend to hide it, speaking softly, "This Donghuang family, also known as the royal family, Donghuang is their original surname. Each retired emperor would change their name to Donghuang and continue cultivating in another plane."
"Oh, that's quite a coincidence. They're actually surnamed Donghuang," Donghuang Baizhi muttered, wondering if she had any connection.
Ye Hua casually said, "Baizhi, I have a feeling that you're somehow connected to this Donghuang surname."
"Connected? How so?" Donghuang Baizhi asked curiously.
