69: Empress Xiao arrives

Immediately afterward, he told his father with a beaming smile to wait a moment, as he would soon bring his daughters-in-law to pay their respects.

Upon hearing that he was about to meet his daughters-in-law, Yang Daolin was so excited he could hardly contain himself, feeling deeply moved in his heart; after so many years, his son had finally grown up.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen turned and returned to the Green Cloud Pavilion, where he found Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan and laid out his plan to take them to meet his father.

Inside the Green Cloud Pavilion, Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan had been meticulously dressing up for this meeting for several hours, while Yang Lingchen sipped tea leisurely on the side, waiting patiently with a calm and composed demeanor.

"Yang Lingchen, when I see Uncle later, I am truly a bit nervous inside and don't know what I should say."

Dongfang Yunbing had a nervous expression on her face, her eyes fixed intently on Yang Lingchen.

"Aren't you usually the high and mighty, awe-inspiring Palace Master of Heavenly Origin Palace? Why are you suddenly afraid now? You can rest assured; my father is a kind person and very easy to get along with," Yang Lingchen said with a smile, comforting her.

"Yang Lingchen, take a look and see if this outfit looks good on me? Is this attire formal and dignified enough to meet Uncle?"

Nangong Yan was also slightly nervous, looking at Yang Lingchen with eyes full of anticipation as she asked.

"It looks good. Both of you are as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals; Father will definitely like you very much. Stop dawdling, let's go! Don't let Father wait too long," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Wait, let me calm my heart and catch my breath first."

Dongfang Yunbing took a deep breath and encouraged herself, saying: "Let's go! It's just meeting my father-in-law. Yan Yan and I aren't ugly or unpresentable, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled to himself; so these two young ladies were also afraid of meeting their parents-in-law.

Under Yang Lingchen's guidance, the three of them arrived together at the courtyard where Yang Daolin was temporarily residing.

"Father, this is the Heavenly Origin Palace Master, Dongfang Yunbing. She is your future daughter-in-law; you can just call her Bing'er."

"This is Nangong Yan, the daughter of the Sword Origin Pavilion Master. She is also your future daughter-in-law; you can just call her Yan'er."

Yang Lingchen held the hands of the two women and introduced them to his father in detail one by one.

"Yunbing pays respects to Uncle."

"Yan'er pays respects to Uncle."

Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan each bowed respectfully to Yang Daolin.

A flash of amazement crossed Yang Daolin's eyes, and he thought to himself: "They truly are two peerless beauties; my son is truly blessed with immense fortune!"

"Bing'er, Yan'er, please sit. This is our first meeting, and Uncle hasn't had time to prepare any gifts yet, but when you get married, I will definitely make it up to you," Yang Daolin said kindly with a beaming smile.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen introduced Xiao Ruo to the two women. The Family enjoyed a happy meal together, and Yang Daolin became increasingly satisfied with these two future daughters-in-law, his affection for them evident in his expression.

In the following days, Heavenly Origin Palace did not continue to expand outward for the time being.

After all, the Northern Profound Empire still had an Emperor and an Empress, and the strength of these two people was far beyond what Yang Lingchen could contend with at present.

However, Heavenly Origin Palace was not entirely inactive; during this period, the number of new Disciples recruited by Heavenly Origin Palace showed a trend of crazy growth.

Nowadays, Heavenly Origin Palace had become the premier Sect in the Northern Profound Region, and with the existence of a Heaven-Defying Genius like Yang Lingchen, its attraction to the younger generation was extremely powerful.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

During these three days, all the members of the Yang Family migrated to Tianyuan City.

Under Yang Lingchen's careful arrangements, those among the younger generation of the Yang Family with outstanding talent successfully entered Heavenly Origin Palace.

The older generation remained in Tianyuan City to handle Family affairs, and Yang Lingchen also gave the Family a large amount of resources, sufficient to support the entire Family in rising rapidly and developing and growing stronger.

On this day, a huge flying boat hovered steadily above Heavenly Origin Palace.

Immediately afterward, two figures as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals floated down from the sky one after the other, finally landing steadily in front of the Palace Master Hall.

This was a woman who seemed to have walked slowly out of a fairyland.

Her long, jet-black hair, like a waterfall, fell casually over her snow-white, jade-like shoulders and neck. Her crystal-clear, delicate facial features, especially that pair of soul-stirring beautiful eyes, made anyone who took a glance involuntarily fall deeply into them.

For a time, no one dared to approach this woman.

At this moment, Dongfang Yunbing happened to be inside the Palace Master Hall, and upon hearing such a commotion, she hurried out.

"You are Dongfang Yunbing?" Xiao Qingyun's voice was bewitching and moving, as if it carried some kind of mysterious magic.

"I do not know why the Empress has come to my Heavenly Origin Palace," Dongfang Yunbing's voice was cold and detached, without a hint of emotion.

In terms of temperament and appearance, Dongfang Yunbing was not inferior to Xiao Qingyun in the slightest; the only gap was in strength.

"I have come today solely for Yang Lingchen," Xiao Qingyun said slowly, her pink lips slightly parted.

"Yang Lingchen is not here today," Dongfang Yunbing responded coldly. She did not know why Xiao Qingyun was looking for Yang Lingchen, but she understood in her heart that it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

"Sister Bing, who is she?"

Yang Lingchen could naturally feel such a large commotion clearly, and his figure quickly appeared in front of the Palace Master Hall.

"Xiao Jie, has Yang Lingchen returned?" Dongfang Yunbing asked in a calm voice.

"Ahem... he hasn't returned yet; he must have gone back to his hometown."

Upon hearing Dongfang Yunbing's question, Yang Lingchen reacted instantly and said with a light cough. He could clearly feel that the strength of the woman in front of him was unfathomable, far beyond what he could contend with at present.

"Little brother, what is your name?" Xiao Qingyun, with her red lips and white teeth, looked at Yang Lingchen with a bewitching charm.

"My name is... Dongfang Jie." Yang Lingchen said, biting the bullet.

At this moment, the servant girl following behind Xiao Qingyun could not help but let a smile appear at the corner of her mouth.

"Dongfang Jie? That is a very nice name. Come here quickly; big sister wants to talk to you."

Xiao Qingyun waved her beautiful, slender, jade-like hands gently toward Yang Lingchen.

"Beautiful big sister, I have a very strong body odor; I need to go clean myself first," Yang Lingchen said weakly.

At this moment, the pressure he was bearing was immense. Xiao Qingyun seemed to possess an invisible magic; if he had not been cultivating the Vast Heaven Art, he definitely would not have been able to resist her charm.

"Is that so? That's wonderful; big sister likes men with body odor the most. Come here quickly!" Xiao Qingyun said, staring straight at Yang Lingchen.

"Empress Xiao, may I ask what important matter you have with Yang Lingchen?" Dongfang Yunbing asked with a slight frown.

"Actually, there is nothing particularly important. Since he is not here, forget it; it is fine for me to look for this little brother instead," Xiao Qingyun said with a bewitching laugh.

"I don't know what big sister needs my help with?" Yang Lingchen said, biting the bullet.

"Come here! Big sister won't do anything to you," Xiao Qingyun said in a bewitching voice.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen knew clearly in his heart that he could not escape; even if he could get away, Heavenly Origin Palace could not just run away with him!

Yang Lingchen gritted his teeth and, bracing himself, walked slowly toward Xiao Qingyun.

"Yang Lingchen, I didn't expect you to not only be handsome but also quite clever and slippery!"

Xiao Qingyun let out a light laugh, and then her jade hand instantly struck Yang Lingchen several times in rapid succession.

Suddenly, Yang Lingchen felt that all the Profound Energy in his body had been completely sealed.

"Swish, swish, swish!" In an instant, Dongfang Yunbing held her long sword and slashed fiercely toward Xiao Qingyun.

Facing Dongfang Yunbing's attack, the servant girl behind Xiao Qingyun instantly flashed forward and sent Dongfang Yunbing flying with a single blow in the blink of an eye.

"Yang Lingchen, if I wanted to destroy Heavenly Origin Palace, it would be effortless. Do you understand?" Xiao Qingyun's voice suddenly became incomparably cold.

"Beautiful big sister, let's talk things over properly; why resort to weapons?" Yang Lingchen quickly said. Now that he was the fish on the chopping block, he had to bow his head and yield.

"Xiao Qingyun, what exactly do you want to do? If you have any business, come at me!" Dongfang Yunbing scolded angrily.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... the famous Ice Beauty of the Northern Profound Region also has times when she falls into the web of love and cannot extricate herself." Xiao Qingyun revealed a bewitching smile on her face and continued: "But rest assured, as long as this little slippery fellow can serve me well, I naturally will not kill him."

"Xiao Qingyun, if you dare to hurt him, I will absolutely not let you off," Dongfang Yunbing said coldly.

"You don't know what's good for you, daring to threaten me." Xiao Qingyun's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand, striking fiercely with a palm toward Dongfang Yunbing.

"Boom!" Dongfang Yunbing was once again blasted back more than ten steps, and a trace of crimson blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Stop, if you have any business, come at me!" Yang Lingchen hurried forward and blocked in front of Xiao Qingyun.

At this moment, he felt incomparably helpless and powerless. He had originally thought that his strength was enough to walk sideways in the Northern Profound Region, but only today did he realize that he had truly underestimated the people of the world.

"Yang Lingchen, you care about her a lot, don't you?" Xiao Qingyun asked with a cold smile.

"Yes," Yang Lingchen answered in a low voice.

"Then who is prettier, me or Dongfang Yunbing?" Xiao Qingyun asked bewitchingly.

"From a fair and impartial perspective, both of you are as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals. From an emotional perspective, I think Sister Bing is more beautiful and moving," Yang Lingchen said in a low voice.

"Let's go! I happen to be missing a Chief Eunuch by my side," Xiao Qingyun said in a cold voice.

"What?" Yang Lingchen was dumbfounded and quickly said: "Big sister, after I carefully observed and compared, I found that you are actually a little bit more beautiful. There's no need to be a eunuch, right..."

"Yang Lingchen, you..." Dongfang Yunbing scolded softly.

Yang Lingchen quickly turned back and gave Dongfang Yunbing a wink.

"Hmph!" Dongfang Yunbing snorted coldly and stopped talking; she also didn't want Yang Lingchen to be castrated by Xiao Qingyun.

"Giggle... I like hearing that. Then let's just have you be a fake eunuch for now! As for whether to castrate you or not, it will depend on your performance."

Xiao Qingyun laughed bewitchingly, then reached out and grabbed Yang Lingchen, speeding away toward the flying boat in mid-air.

"Sister Bing, don't worry, I will definitely come back!" In mid-air, Yang Lingchen shouted loudly toward Dongfang Yunbing.

Hearing Yang Lingchen's words, a faint, imperceptible cold smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Qingyun's mouth. She had never intended to let Yang Lingchen leave, because Yang Lingchen was destined to be her Cauldron for the rest of his life.

The reason Xiao Qingyun did not kill Dongfang Yunbing was that she was afraid of causing Yang Lingchen's resentment and resistance, because a Cauldron that could have emotional reactions was absolutely much more interesting than a lifeless piece of wood.

This was an incredibly luxuriously decorated flying boat. After Yang Lingchen was brought on board, the flying boat sped rapidly toward the direction of the Northern Profound Empire.

In the following days, under the strict training of the servant girl, almost everything a eunuch needed to do was kept firmly in his mind.

The servant girl's strength was at the seventh level of the Gui Xuan Realm, which made Yang Lingchen feel incomparably shocked; the strength of a servant girl could actually rival that of the Prince of the Northern Suppression.

At this time, Yang Lingchen's strength had been completely sealed, and even the power of his Physical Body had been restricted. At this moment, he was almost no different from a weak scholar who lacked the strength to truss a chicken.
