Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Southern Plum City.

The appearance of Xiao Yi and his entourage did not attract any attention.

As the Marriage Conference approached, more and more people entered the Baiyu Holy Land.

Strong forces from all directions gathered in Baiyu Holy Land.

"Are you here to participate in the Marriage Conference as well?"

A strong cultivator guarding the teleportation array of Baiyu Holy Land glanced at Xiao Yi and his group, accompanied by a beast that resembled a wolf, its entire body covered in snow-white fur. The fur was immaculate, pure as mutton-fat jade.

Its pair of piercing blue eyes looked Xiao Yi's Erha up and down.

Erha stared back at the wolf intently.

Their gazes locked.

It was as if sparks flew in the air.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly; the cultivator before him had reached the Dharma Manifestation Realm, which would make him a prominent figure in the Southern State. Yet, in Baiyu Holy Land, he was merely a guard of the teleportation array.

Due to the increasing number of strong individuals heading to Baiyu for the Marriage Conference, Baiyu had bolstered the guard level at its teleportation arrays.

This also revealed the sheer depth of Baiyu Holy Land's foundation!

Xiao Yi replied, "We are indeed here for the Marriage Conference!"

"Welcome to Baiyu Holy Land. I am Xu Ying, a disciple of Baiyu Holy Land. By the order of our Lord, I am stationed here. All young elites participating in the Marriage Conference will first be arranged at the Gathering of the Virtuous Tower in the four main cities. Please follow me!"

Xu Ying spoke with a smile to Xiao Yi and his group.

Although his smile was radiant, it still carried an innate sense of aloof arrogance.

Just as the rumors described.

Baiyu Holy Land had always perceived itself as superior, considering itself the foremost sacred land.

Aside from Dongzhou's Endless Horizon Pavilion.

In their eyes...

The other sacred lands were all bumpkins.

Xiao Yi paid no mind to this. He nodded and said, "Please lead the way!"

The group followed Xu Ying forward.

Da Heng noticed Erha lagging behind and frowned: "Erha, what's wrong with you?"

Erha glanced at Da Heng, his eyes squinting into crescent moons, while saliva glistened and dripped uncontrollably from his mouth. He chuckled foolishly, "Boss, I… I think I've fallen in love…"

Da Heng: "..."

Little Lin: "..."

Jin Yi: "..."

Da Heng looked at Erha, utterly bewildered.

To his shock, Erha's eyes were practically shaped like hearts, gazing dreamily at the white beast walking beside Xu Ying, its fluffy tail swaying back and forth: "Look at that… such a sexy butt, such magnificent fur… I'm in love!"

Xu Ying halted, turned slightly, and shot a glance at Erha. His brows furrowed, faint traces of disdain and scorn emerging as he muttered indifferently, "Xiao Bai is a battle pet nurtured by Baiyu Holy Land with pure bloodline. Not any mutt can make a match!"

Da Heng's expression darkened: "What did you say?"

He and Erha had relied on each other since childhood.

To him, Erha was family—a brother.

Xu Ying had called Erha a "mutt"?

How could he tolerate that?

Xu Ying glanced at him coldly, his gaze indifferent: "Isn't it true?"

"You…"

Da Heng clenched his teeth.

A shade of loneliness passed through Erha's green eyes. Yet unwilling to drag Da Heng into conflict on his behalf, he tugged on Da Heng's sleeve and shook his head. Turning to Xu Ying, he said firmly, "You are correct. I am indeed a mutt and unworthy of Baiyu Holy Land's esteemed battle pet!"

He continued gazing at the white beast, filled with admiration and yearning.

Though he had encountered an object of infatuation, Da Heng's importance within his heart was far greater.

Xu Ying snorted coldly, about to retort when Xiao Yi calmly interjected, "In my view, it's your pet that isn't worthy of Erha!"

"Hm?"

Xu Ying froze, frowning at Xiao Yi. "What do you mean? Xiao Bai is a pureblood battle pet cultivated by Baiyu Holy Land's secret techniques. Its bloodline is noble, its lineage pure. Yet you claim it isn't worthy of that mutt beast?"

Xiao Yi nodded lightly. "Indeed, your pet isn't worthy." Pausing momentarily, he added, "Not convinced?"

"Humph!"

Xu Ying snorted, arrogance etched across his face. "Xiao Bai possesses the bloodline of the Longevity Secret Realm level Demon Emperor Snow Wolf Emperor. Its strength rivals the Dharma Phase Realm Peak. That mutt wolf demon before you is barely at the Tao Tribulation Realm. What qualifies it to claim superiority over Xiao Bai?"

"Snow Wolf Emperor's bloodline? Is that supposed to be impressive?"

Little Lin scoffed.

Jin Yi shook his head, laughing: "Just a mere descendant left behind by a Human Venerate-level ancestor. Anyone unaware might mistake it for a divine beast lineage!"

Both of them—a true Kunpeng heir and the last surviving Ancient Sky-Devouring Dragon of the Qingtian Realm—were beings with the potential to ascend to divine beast stature.

What Snow Wolf Emperor?

Before them, it was nothing more than trash!

These two comrades' loyalty matched Xiao Yi's protective nature.

Since Erha and Da Heng were accompanying them, they were companions—how could anyone tolerate watching their friends humiliated?

Their words only exacerbated Xu Ying's indignation, his expression darkening. "A bunch of arrogant fools!"

"The fool is you!"

Little Lin sneered, pointing to Erha, "Believe me when I say my little brother's bloodline could crush Xiao Bai's in an instant!"

"Ridiculous!"

Xu Ying laughed furiously, his voice loud on purpose. "Everyone knows bloodlines are divinely ordained. Who do you think you are? Crushing Xiao Bai, my sacred pet? How absurd!"

The onlookers murmured among themselves, grasping the situation.

Every gaze directed at Xiao Yi and his group brimmed with derision: "That mutt wolf demon dares compare bloodlines against Baiyu Holy Land's pet? Delusional!"

"In the vast expanse of Qingtian Realm, Baiyu Holy Land undoubtedly ranks first in battle pet cultivation!"

"Ignorant fools…"

Xu Ying tilted his chin arrogantly, his eyes glimmering with pride as he stared at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smirked. "How about a bet?"

"What terms?" Xu Ying frowned.

Xiao Yi proposed, "If Erha's bloodline surpasses your pet's, you will not prevent them from becoming companions."

He had already seen that Xiao Bai and Erha had fallen for one another like two peas in a pod.

But with Xu Ying as Xiao Bai's master, the pet dared not resist.

"A bet it is!"

Xu Ying declared confidently. "However, if you lose, what then?"

"Your terms," Xiao Yi replied.

Xu Ying narrowed his eyes and revealed a sinister grin, motioning towards Erha. "I won't make things difficult for my guests. If you lose, let's have this mutt wolf demon castrated for daring to covet my esteemed pet!"

Hssss!

Castrated?

That was crueler than death!

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, refusing to decide on behalf of Erha. Instead, he turned to him. "Erha, this concerns you directly. You must choose yourself!"

"Erha..."

Da Heng looked at Erha anxiously.

Erha hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth: "I trust Lord Xiao!"

"Good!"

Xiao Yi nodded approvingly and fixed Xu Ying with a chilling gaze, "Watch closely. While bloodlines may indeed be innate, they are not the sole measure of one's worth. Fate bows to the determined!"

With that, Little Lin and Jin Yi simultaneously flicked their fingers.

Buzz! Buzz!

Two drops of golden blood shot forward, landing directly on Erha's brow.

Awooo…

Erha's body shuddered violently; his fur stood on end as he howled uncontrollably.

Golden light rippled across his body.

Amid loud cracking sounds.

His body began to expand rapidly; his black-and-white fur grew purer and sharper, like sword threads.

Between his brows.

A vertical eye emerged suddenly.

Three eyes radiated icy glints.

From his back...

Two golden wings burst forth.

His bloodline ascended by multiple tiers in an instant!

His cultivation surged rapidly, crossing from the Tao Tribulation Realm to reach Dharma Manifestation Realm, then Nirvana Realm...

Finally stopping at Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm!

With the infusion of two Supreme Venerate's source blood, not only did Erha's cultivation skyrocket to Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, but his bloodline level reached the equivalent of Longevity Secret Realm Level Beast Emperor!

The terrifying bloodline aura made several hundred battle pets nearby tremble uncontrollably.

One after another, they prostrated.

Filled with reverence and awe!

At that moment...

Everyone present was dumbfounded, frozen in disbelief: "This… This is impossible…"

"To reverse fate so swiftly, raising bloodline purity by multiple levels?"

"Who exactly are these people?"

Shock overwhelmed them all.

Confronted by Erha, bathed in golden light, whose bloodline now rivaled a Beast Emperor's, Xu Ying was utterly flabbergasted. His face burned as though slapped repeatedly. He wished nothing more than to dig a hole and vanish into it.

As Xu Ying stood awkwardly, Xiao Yi's voice rang out once more: "It seems this wager is yours to lose!"
