403: Second level of the God of the Universe

“You can’t say that. My Brother Chen is a good man, but unfortunately, he has already left me.”

Thinking of Yang Chen, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed deep in Xiao Menger’s eyes, like a faint mist, quietly lingering in her gaze.

“Yang Chen is indeed good, much more devoted than that scoundrel Yang Lingchen.”

Shangguan Qianyue echoed, her tone carrying a hint of reproach, yet her eyes seemed to hide different emotions.

“Who is more devoted than me?”

Just then, Yang Lingchen appeared behind Xiao Menger and Shangguan Qianyue.

His appearance was somewhat sudden, yet it carried a natural aura.

“Yang Lingchen, why are you here?”

Seeing Yang Lingchen again, a hint of joy appeared in Shangguan Qianyue’s eyes, but it was fleeting, quickly concealed by her.

“Junior Brother Lingchen.”

Xiao Menger greeted him with a smile, her smile gentle, like a blooming flower in spring.

“Young Miss Qianyue, Senior Sister Menger, long time no see.”

Yang Lingchen said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the two, carrying a familiarity of a long-awaited reunion.

“I thought you had forgotten about us!”

Shangguan Qianyue pouted playfully, her slightly pursed lips looking especially cute.

“How could I? You are all my good friends, how could I forget you?”

Yang Lingchen smiled, his smile as warm as the sun. He then added, “By the way, Qianyue, your father also asked me to pass a message to you!”

“What message did my father ask you to bring?” Shangguan Qianyue asked impatiently, her eyes full of curiosity.

“Your father said to visit him more often when you have time,” Yang Lingchen said, his tone calm and gentle.

“Nothing else?” Shangguan Qianyue pressed, her brows slightly furrowed.

“There is! Last time your father found me and wanted me to take you as a maid,” Yang Lingchen teased, a hint of slyness flashing in his eyes.

“Scoundrel, I won’t be your maid.”

Shangguan Qianyue playfully scolded, her face instantly turning red, like a ripe apple.

“Then forget it, there are plenty of people who want to be my maid.” Yang Lingchen laughed heartily, deliberately putting on an indifferent look.

“If I become your maid, what’s the treatment like?” Shangguan Qianyue suddenly asked, a hint of probing in her eyes.

“My maid, Yang Lingchen’s maid, of course, won’t be treated poorly.” Yang Lingchen smiled faintly, saying with full confidence.

“Alright, I’ll do it.” Shangguan Qianyue bit her lip, as if making a great decision.

“You really agreed?” Yang Lingchen asked in surprise, not expecting Shangguan Qianyue to agree so readily.

“What? Did you back out?” Shangguan Qianyue said with a cold face, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

“Not at all, I just forgot to tell you something.” Yang Lingchen chuckled, deliberately keeping her in suspense.

“What is it?” Shangguan Qianyue asked, her curiosity thoroughly piqued.

“To be my maid, you must be prepared to serve in bed! Maybe one day I’ll eat you up.” Yang Lingchen’s lips curved into a mischievous smile, his eyes full of teasing.

“Do you dare?” Shangguan Qianyue playfully chided, her heart unconsciously speeding up, yet she feigned composure on the surface.

“Ha... ha, just kidding!”

Yang Lingchen laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the air.

Then he said seriously, “Qianyue, if you really don’t mind, then come with me to Lingchen Divine Kingdom! The treatment will certainly not be worse than that of a Heavenly God Palace Saint.”

The main reason Yang Lingchen wanted to take Shangguan Qianyue was that the imperial palace indeed lacked a female chief steward.

Moreover, he knew Shangguan Qianyue’s capabilities well and believed she could handle things in an orderly manner.

“Yang Lingchen, why don’t you take Sister Menger too? She is more meticulous than I am.” Shangguan Qianyue said, turning to look at Xiao Menger, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Of course, Senior Sister Menger, you also come back with me to Lingchen Divine Kingdom!” Yang Lingchen smiled gently, his gaze sincere and earnest.

Now that the Lingchen Divine Kingdom’s imperial palace was short-staffed, having Shangguan Qianyue and Xiao Menger help manage things would be good. After all, they were people he knew and trusted.

“Alright then!”

Xiao Menger nodded, a faint smile on her face, her heart filled with both anticipation and a little apprehension for the new environment.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen took Yang Tianjun to see Zhou Wenhong and his daughter. Zhou Wenhong was now a Consecrated Elder of the Heavenly God Palace, holding a respected position.

Zhou Sihan had also become a Core Disciple of the Heavenly God Palace, with a boundless future.

This time, when he came to the Heavenly God Palace, Yang Tianjun volunteered to accompany Yang Lingchen to pick up the bride, naturally to see Zhou Sihan. All the way, Yang Tianjun was exceptionally excited, constantly asking Yang Lingchen about Zhou Sihan’s recent situation.

“Brother Zhou, long time no see.”

Seeing Zhou Wenhong and his daughter again, Yang Lingchen laughed heartily. His smile was full of sincerity and joy.

“Indeed! It’s been a few years, and I never thought Brother Yang would become the number one person in the Divine Realm.” Zhou Wenhong said with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration and emotion.

“Uncle Divine Doctor.” Zhou Sihan obediently called out, her face beaming with a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling with lively light.

“Sihan has grown so much, ha... ha!”

Yang Lingchen laughed, looking at Zhou Sihan, he couldn’t help but lament the passage of time.

“Uncle Zhou, Sister Sihan, don’t you recognize me?”

Seeing that no one greeted him, Yang Tianjun quickly stepped forward. His face showed a hint of eagerness, his eyes full of anticipation.

“Oh, it’s Tianjun! You’ve grown so big, ha... ha...!”

Zhou Wenhong laughed heartily, walked forward, and patted Yang Tianjun’s shoulder, his eyes full of affection.

“Sister Sihan, look, this is the armor you gave me, I’ve been wearing it all along!” Yang Tianjun showed off the armor on his body, a proud expression on his face.

“I’ve also been using the precious sword you gave me.” Zhou Sihan said, her gaze falling on Yang Tianjun, a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

“Sister Sihan, I have something to tell you, let’s go over there!”

Yang Tianjun grabbed Zhou Sihan and walked away. His movements were eager and a bit clumsy, making everyone laugh.

“This Stinky brat.” Yang Lingchen shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting. He then said, “Brother Zhou, these two children have a good relationship. If you don’t mind, how about we arrange a marriage contract for them?”

“Ha... ha..., of course, I have no objection, I quite like this child Tianjun.” Zhou Wenhong said with a smile, his eyes full of relief.

Then, Yang Lingchen discussed the children’s marriage contract with Zhou Wenhong. They meticulously discussed every detail, hoping to lay a solid foundation for the children’s future.

After settling the marriage contract, Yang Lingchen left Zhou Wenhong’s residence and flew towards Yirou Peak. At this time, Shen Xinrou and Shen Xinyi had already received news of Yang Lingchen’s arrival. The two sisters were tidying their crimson wedding dresses, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

“Rou’er, Yi’er, I’m here.”

Yang Lingchen walked into Shen Xinrou’s palace as if returning home. His voice was full of tenderness and anticipation.

“Lingchen, why are you here? How do our dresses look?” Shen Xinyi asked sweetly, twirling lightly to show off her dress.

“I have a new set of dresses here; try them on to see if they fit?”

Yang Lingchen smiled faintly, then took out two newly made dresses and handed them over. The dresses were embroidered with exquisite patterns, shimmering with a faint glow.

“When did you make them?” Shen Xinyi chuckled, taking the dresses, her eyes full of pleasant surprise.

“With the wedding imminent, I specially asked someone to make them for you.”

Yang Lingchen said, his eyes full of deep affection.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen went to see Shen Mingyang.

He stayed in the Heavenly God Palace for another two days.

Only then did Yang Lingchen take Shen Xinyi and her sister back to Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

However, before leaving, he also left a lot of resources as betrothal gifts for the Heavenly God Palace.

These betrothal gifts were extremely precious treasures, enough to show his respect and gratitude to the Heavenly God Palace.

Of course, accompanying Yang Lingchen back to Lingchen Divine Kingdom were Shangguan Qianyue, Xiao Menger, Shen Mingyang and his son, as well as Zhou Wenhong and his daughter.

However, Zhou Sihan and Yang Tianjun rode in the same beast carriage. Along the way, the two children laughed and chatted, full of youthful vitality.

Upon returning to Lingchen Divine Kingdom, Yang Lingchen held the most extravagant wedding in the Divine Realm for Li Xinyi, Xue Linger, Shen Xinrou, and Shen Xinyi.

The scale of this wedding was unprecedentedly grand; the entire Lingchen Divine Kingdom was adorned with lanterns and streamers, filled with joy. The wedding venue was beautifully decorated, with flowers blooming and colorful ribbons fluttering.

The leaders of the major top forces in the Divine Realm all brought generous gifts to congratulate. They all hoped to maintain good relations with Yang Lingchen and jointly seek peace and prosperity in the Divine Realm.

Yang Lingchen also returned the courtesies to those who came to congratulate, showing his generosity and friendliness.

After the wedding, Yang Lingchen held an engagement ceremony for Yang Tianjun and Zhou Sihan.

Li Xinyi was also very satisfied with Zhou Sihan, her future daughter-in-law. She held Zhou Sihan’s hand, speaking kindly, her eyes full of affection.

Seeing Yang Tianjun get engaged, Yang Yunfeng and Yang Yunxian were also very envious. However, Yang Yunfeng was a little better off because he was currently in a relationship with Xue Youwei. They looked forward to their own happy moments arriving soon.

In addition, after Shangguan Qianyue and Xiao Menger came to Lingchen Divine Kingdom, they naturally became the Chief Stewards of the Harem, managing all the eunuchs and palace maids in Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

Shangguan Qianyue and Xiao Menger were very satisfied with this position, as the work was not arduous, and the remuneration was very generous, even far exceeding that of many Saints from top forces. They diligently managed the Harem in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Yang Lingchen never relaxed his cultivation for a moment.

After all, Dugu Moli was still hidden in the shadows, and his strength far surpassed that of ordinary God of Cosmos Realm, Ninth Layer experts.

Yang Lingchen knew that only by continuously improving his strength could he protect everything he cherished.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During these six months, Yang Lingchen cultivated diligently day and night, constantly exploring higher Realms.

After half a year of arduous cultivation, Yang Lingchen’s cultivation level finally advanced to the Cosmic God Realm, Second Layer.

At this point, the stone that had been weighing on Yang Lingchen’s heart finally fell. With his current strength, if he were to encounter Dugu Moli again, as long as he took a bao yuan pill, he was confident he could utterly suppress and kill him.

After half a year of getting along, Li Xinyi gradually adapted to palace life and also became good friends with Yang Lingchen’s other women.

They often drank tea and chatted together, sharing their joys and troubles.

And Yang Lingchen’s children were also growing up healthily, and he occasionally took time to teach his children to Cultivate.

Under his careful guidance, the children’s cultivation levels were also continuously improving, demonstrating extraordinary talent.
