Chapter 639: Three Mighty Ambush, Peril of the Phantom Charm, True Technique in Wait
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, May has swiftly passed by.
The Cosmic Sea is becoming increasingly turbulent, with a very oppressive atmosphere.
During these five months, the biggest move has undoubtedly been made by His Majesty Asna.
Just half a month ago, perhaps disgusted by Yi Chen's encroaching tactics, Asna issued a decree, ordering all experts at Immortal Platform Realm and above under his command to assemble at the Amethyst Mother Realm.
This decree was stern in tone, offering not a single piece of information.
Thus, three days have passed since then, and the Amethyst Mother Realm has been completely sealed off by Asna with tremendous power, leaving everyone clueless about what exactly is happening inside.
Of course, many forces within the Cosmic Sea interpreted this action of Asna's as a signal of an imminent large-scale attack on the Youlan Star Domain, and for a while, many forces deeply harmed by the Deep Red Emperor began to watch the drama unfold.
Touching interests is harder than touching souls; as the saying goes, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents, and by that standard, Yi Chen has unknowingly executed many people's "wild fathers and mothers."
Thus, this group began eyeing the Youlan Star Path covetously once again.
At the critical moment when the Deep Red Points are about to be gathered, Asna's strange behavior has left Yi Chen somewhat frowning.
He had a persistent feeling that His Majesty Asna, who had a rather significant history with him, was plotting something sinister.
Giant Shark Realm.
On the moon-white ivory bed, Qingyao Fairy idly twisted a lock of her black hair with one jade hand, while the other traced circles on Yi Chen's chest.
"Husband, my father has sent people over to deliver a message, and this batch of evil demons arriving today is the last from the Evil Suppressing Tower of our Green Lotus Venerate Tao Realm."
"From now on, there will be no more convoys escorting evil demons."
Qingyao Fairy seemed to have thought of something, she suddenly stopped her actions and looked up at Yi Chen.
"No matter, Qingyao, please carefully select some gifts for me to thank my father-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel uplifted, and he immediately replied warmly, "By the way, when will today's flying boat convoy arrive?"
"Probably this afternoon, why, Husband, are you worried about His Majesty Asna's anomaly? Rest assured, Husband, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, even if it is true, His Majesty Asna genuinely targeting you to make a statement won't do anything too extreme, at most, it will just serve as a warning."
"Because Husband is not entirely without support, and when things become too unmanageable, my father the Emperor will naturally step in to mediate for Husband."
Qingyao Fairy tidied her bangs of damp hair, her lips parted slightly, gently consoling.
Her two jade hands reached out to Yi Chen's eyebrows, looking as if she wanted to smooth out his furrowed brow.
Looking at the imposing and wise Taoist in front of her, Qingyao Fairy's emotions grew increasingly complex.
At the beginning, she indeed treated this man before her as a "human elixir," but after three years of interaction, she now found her once resolute heart starting to waver.
Just as she was about to say something more, she was interrupted by Yi Chen:
"For the esteemed Taoist Emperor to agree to intervene so easily, it seems Qingyao you've put in quite an effort."
"I'll head out to cast a line, thank you Qingyao for orchestrating everything for me."
Watching as Yi Chen brushed aside her hands, preparing to get up and leave.
For some reason, a wave of panic surged in Wan Qingyao's heart, she felt as if the person before her would not return once he stepped out the door.
"Husband, how about accompanying Qingyao to take a walk in the Giant Shark Realm today, to see how the mundane world lives?"
Suddenly, Wan Qingyao proposed.
Looking at the beauty before him, Yi Chen's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Damn it, this woman has changed recently, become less pure, even Old Peng Jiao started to protest about having nothing to eat or drink lately.
Heck, are you waiting for love with this behavior? You need to step up and bring trouble to me.
After a brief pause, Yi Chen suddenly smiled broadly:
"Sure."
In a flurry, Wan Qingyao quickly changed her clothes to head out.
Soon, a man and a woman, along with a strange black cat, ventured into the marketplace of the Giant Shark Realm.
Now in the Giant Shark Realm, the mental outlook of ordinary people had completely transformed compared to when Yi Chen first arrived.
The streets were bustling with people, faces bright with happy smiles, their smiles shining with light, and statues of the Deep Red Emperor stood throughout the streets and alleys.
Greatness requires no further words.
Yi Chen and Wan Qingyao roamed the streets, acting like an ordinary couple looking at cheap jewelry, rouge, and various trinkets. Although he wasn't interested in these, seeing Wan Qingyao's excited demeanor, he did not spoil the mood, cooperating with her performance, accompanying her as they strolled around.
Anyway, this would be the last time.
With Yi Chen and Wan Qingyao's current cultivation, disguising their appearance was a trivial matter; to ordinary people, they were merely a pair of ordinary traveling lovers, thus causing no commotion, as they walked and watched, perusing the town.
Eventually, they came to a dwelling.
The Emperor had allocated housing: a standard three-bedroom, one-living-room house, now inhabited by a family of three, along with a dog.
The three were currently huddled over a plate of small dishes and a plate of braised spare ribs, enjoying their meal.
A dish of braised spare ribs, where husband and wife politely served each other; the wife picked some for the husband, who eventually divided half the plate for their son, then shared the remaining half with his wife.
