The Jiang Family faced a mysterious, elusive power, losing some of their strongest members. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan's intuition led him to warn them against rash investigations, a warning that proved correct when the power surged. The Jiang Family's trust in Ye Xuan grew, until a Divine Mountain descended, threatening their home. Ye Sixing ascended to stop it, but a Jiang Family elder attacked her, only to be instantly vaporized by a newly arrived, black-clad woman who addressed Ye Sixing as daughter and Ye Xuan as husband.

"Makes me want to eat you up."

Ye Xuan bared his teeth as he spoke.

Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan with smiling eyes, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan put away his grin and said seriously, "You’ve grown up."

Zhou Youwei rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan with all the charm in the world, and said crossly, "We already have a daughter and you’re only now saying Youwei has grown up?"

These days, Zhou Youwei did indeed have a different kind of allure from before.

Maybe it was all these years of laying out plans that had given her a sharp, decisive edge, like a lofty Empress looking down over the Human World.

Yet in front of Ye Xuan, she was again that delicate little woman who clung to him like a small bird.

The most obvious change should be that Zhou Youwei’s pair of ice-blue eyes were gone.

Back then, Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes were ice-blue, like a shattered ice-realm, extremely captivating.

That was because back then Zhou Youwei had Dual Souls in one body, with the Fiery Sun Saint Body suppressed, while under the influence of the Mystic Ice Saint Body, Zhou Youwei’s eyes had been ice-blue since childhood.

But after the Fiery Sun Saint Body was triggered, Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes gradually returned to normal, and now they had become black pupils, the same as Ye Xuan’s.

"What did you go to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld for before?"

Ye Xuan asked gravely.

Zhou Youwei blinked and said softly, "I just went to see why that Great World was born. But vaguely, I saw some of husband’s layouts, and where there were a few loopholes, Youwei helped you patch them up."

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Zhou Youwei wrinkled her delicate nose. "I originally thought that by then husband should already have walked off the Emperor Road, so I left a message for Tang Siyu."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I really should have come out by then, but I ran into a few things on the Emperor Road."

Zhou Youwei seemed to ponder. "Oh?"

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Have you ever been to the end of the Emperor Road?"

Zhou Youwei shook her head. "I have never been."

"Then next time we’ll go together."

Ye Xuan said.

A hint of doubt surfaced on Zhou Youwei’s peerlessly beautiful face.

Ye Xuan didn’t say more on that topic, instead asking, "You went to the Ruins City and came back this fast?"

Zhou Youwei said in surprise, "Husband actually knows about the Ruins City?"

Ye Xuan chuckled. "At least look at who your husband is."

Zhou Youwei let out a faint sigh, her willow brows knitting, a faint heaviness in her expression. "To be honest, Youwei didn’t enter the city."

"To be precise, I couldn’t."

As soon as she said that, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly. "You couldn’t get in?"

Zhou Youwei nodded lightly. "I don’t know what happened there after the End War back then, but I truly didn’t get in."

"Right, husband, since you know of the Ruins City, have you gone in as well?"

Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded. "From ancient times to now, I’ve been in three times."

Zhou Youwei raised her brows. "Could it be that you need some sort of opportunity?"

Ye Xuan suddenly showed a faint smile. "That opportunity is me."

Zhou Youwei sized up her own husband, a trace of indescribable amusement rising in her beautiful eyes, but she didn’t say anything.

Ye Xuan raised a brow. "You don’t believe me?"

Zhou Youwei shook her head. "No, Youwei completely trusts husband."

Ye Xuan grinned. "It’s fine if you don’t believe it. When the time comes and I take you there, you’ll know."

Seeing this, Zhou Youwei was actually a bit surprised.

Could it be that her own husband really was the opportunity to enter the Ruins City?

And Ye Xuan truly wasn’t lying; he really was the opportunity to enter the Ruins City.

On that point, those monsters inside the Ruins City could naturally serve as witnesses.

But for now, it was normal that Youwei didn’t believe it.

While the husband and wife were talking, Ye Sixing had already pushed the Divine Mountain back to its previous position.

In Ye Sixing’s words, it hadn’t been any effort at all.

But that Great Sage of the Jiang Family who had struck at Ye Sixing had given quite a fright to the Jiang Family’s high-level powerhouses.

Especially Jiang Zhao and the others.

Fortunately, Zhou Youwei’s appearance had kept that Great Sage of the Jiang Family from succeeding.

But right after, the Jiang Family higher-ups all fell into a daze.

Who was this suddenly appearing black-clothed woman?

How had she suddenly shown up inside the Jiang Family?

Why had there been not the slightest reaction from the Gate Guardian Generals over there?

They naturally didn’t know that Zhou Youwei had entered in the same way as Ye Xuan.

The only difference was probably that when passing through the Jiang Family’s Divine Gate, Ye Xuan had displayed the aura of the Undying Night Emperor, and the two Gate Guardian Generals had naturally stepped aside.

Zhou Youwei, however, had been extremely overbearing, directly unleashing that wisp of Hong Yao Immortal Emperor’s aura, shaking those two Gate Guardian Generals into prostrating on the spot, without the slightest ability to resist.

They still hadn’t managed to get back up even now.

Later, when the Jiang Family higher-ups investigated this matter, they were left speechless for a long time.

How come everyone in Ye Xuan’s family operated like this?

Simply refusing to play by common sense!

At this moment.

Two Jiang Family patriarchs appeared beside the Divine Mountain, one to protect Ye Sixing, and the other to investigate the anomaly of the Divine Mountain.

When they sensed that the Divine Mountain’s abnormality truly had nothing to do with Ye Sixing, their expressions grew grave.

In that case, it meant that that power was at work!

There had been so many fluctuations of that power before, and none had shaken the Divine Mountain; yet this time, it had easily jolted the Divine Mountain down.

Did this mean that that power had undergone some degree of change?

One of the Jiang Family patriarchs escorted Ye Sixing back to Ye Xuan’s side, while the other returned to the council hall to discuss the matter.

"Young Lord Ye, this is my Jiang Family’s dereliction of duty. When this matter is over, we will definitely give Young Lord Ye an explanation."

That Jiang Family patriarch who had escorted Ye Sixing over struck a very humble posture, speaking with sincere earnestness.

Zhou Youwei swept a glance at that Jiang Family patriarch, her voice clear and cold as she said indifferently, "If you don’t handle that explanation properly, even if your Jiang Family makes it through this crisis, I’ll still come to settle accounts with you."

Ye Xuan had originally intended to speak, but hearing his own wife say that, he simply didn’t say anything more.

The Jiang Family patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Xuan, and cautiously asked, "Young Lord Ye, this lady is..."

Ye Xuan said calmly, "My wife, Zhou Youwei."

The Jiang Family patriarch’s pupils shrank slightly.

He recalled what a certain patriarch had said: among the Reincarnators of this era, there were some very unusual existences.

Especially that Zhou Youwei who had carved her own name on the Mystic Yellow List...

He hadn’t expected that this peerlessly beautiful woman in black before him was that Zhou Youwei!

"So it’s Miss Zhou. I’ve long heard of your great name!"

The Jiang Family patriarch didn’t put on any airs, clasping his fists and bowing.

Zhou Youwei, however, paid him no attention.

That patriarch felt quite awkward, but said nothing.

At this moment, a thought stirred in his heart, and he once more clasped his fists to Ye Xuan. "Young Lord Ye, Jiang Zhao would like to invite you to go to that place together."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Let’s go, Youwei."

Ye Xuan reached out to take Zhou Youwei’s hand and rose into the sky.

The Jiang Family patriarch had originally planned to follow, but when he saw Ye Sixing standing there in a daze, he hesitated, and in the end did not follow, remaining where he was to protect Ye Sixing instead.

Ye Sixing faced the direction in which Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei had departed, pursing his lips, a vague sense of grievance in his heart.

Now that Mom’s here, Dad doesn’t pay attention to me anymore...

Sigh.
