After Jiang Ye returned to the pavilion stands, he leisurely enjoyed the service of the three beauties.

"Young Master, is Yan'er's strength just right?"

"Young Master, try a bite of this immortal fruit~"

Guan Yunyao's cheeks were flushed, and she knelt on the soft brocade cushion, holding a teacup with both hands, her movements appearing flustered.

Unlike Qing Xuan and Hong Yan, she had never witnessed such an absurd scene.

The massage techniques were improper, and even the immortal fruit was fed by mouth... they showed no regard for her, a pure young maiden.

It was a complete natural performance.

Guan Yunyao's heart was slightly in disarray.

In her mind, Jiang Ye's various domineering and unconventional actions from today couldn't help but surface, and an inexplicable emotion grew stronger in her chest.

Why was such a refined Young Master so wicked?

She lowered her head and eyes, her thoughts churning, yet she couldn't resist secretly glancing in Jiang Ye's direction.

Looking at that handsome and peerless face, complex and joyful emotions intertwined within her heart.

"Cough, cough..."

Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a smile on his lips, he looked at the dazed Guan Yunyao and said, "What are you thinking about, Yao'er?"

Guan Yunyao glared at him with feigned anger.

This scoundrel was always finding new ways to tease her.

She wasn't some naive innocent, and she had read some storybooks in her daily life, so she understood these flirtatious tactics.

"No... nothing..."

She secretly cursed herself for being weak; every time she clearly intended to retort to Jiang Ye.

But as soon as she saw his face.

All the anger in her heart immediately crumbled.

She angrily cursed herself in her mind.

What was wrong with her?

When did she become so shallow and obsessed with looks?

"Oh, so you're thinking about me then? Don't be shy, This Divine Son is right in front of you, you can look as much as you want, it doesn't cost Spirit Stones..."

"You..."

Guan Yunyao was both shy and angry, yet the words caught in her throat and she couldn't bring herself to be firm, only able to glare at him indignantly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye felt even more pleased, and simply continued to tease her for a few more sentences.

He had a good impression of this Guan Family Imperial Daughter; her temperament was gentle with a touch of tsundere, she didn't put on airs, and her appearance was also one that could topple nations.

The Guan Family was an Imperial Clan, with profound power and heritage, considered a first-rate immortal force in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

Taking her as a concubine would also be good; they were a well-matched pair.

"Yao'er, is the Guan Family's supply of cultivation resources insufficient? Why did you come to Cloud Top Academy? Even if you are one of the Five Chiefs, it wouldn't be of much help to you, would it?"

Jiang Ye asked with interest.

A blush flickered across Guan Yunyao's face, and her heart stirred slightly.

Then, she thought of matters concerning her clan, and a hint of unconcealable worry appeared between her brows, as she softly explained:

"Perhaps Young Master has only recently emerged from his seal, so he doesn't fully understand the Imperial Clans of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens as they are now..."

"This isn't really a secret; although there are still ten great Imperial Clans in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, they are no longer what they once were."

"Many Great Emperor Old Ancestors who once shook the universe either died in the catastrophe of the Dark Ages or were severely wounded and disappeared, their whereabouts unknown."

"And the Imperial Clans that lost the protection of a Great Emperor, having also endured two hundred thousand years of erosion... the cultivation resources of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens have long been depleted and broken, and the Imperial Clans are naturally gradually declining and withering."

"The Guan Family is one of them."

Her tone dropped a few notes, unable to hide her sorrow.

"As for Cloud Top Academy, it was also an arrangement by the clan for me to participate in the selection for the Dao Child, to seek a powerful ally for the Guan Family through this..."

"I wasn't actually willing to accept this arrangement at first..."

She pursed her lips slightly, a hint of stubbornness and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"But after truly arriving at the Academy, I found that this place is far more peaceful than my clan, the atmosphere much more harmonious, without so much open and covert struggle, which has gradually made me like it here."

"Of course..."

When she reached this point.

She frowned slightly, her delicate face flushed, and she let out a soft hum: "Except for occasionally encountering some... annoying suitors."

"Actually, I don't have much interest in the position of Dao Child, but since it's a mission entrusted by the clan, I just want to do my best, with a clear conscience, and that's that."

Jiang Ye listened to her narration with a very serious expression, deep in thought.

Although he had only recently been unsealed.

He also had some understanding of the current situation in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

The two hundred thousand years of the Dark Ages, though broken and no longer as prosperous as before, was a relatively harmonious era.

It was like a wounded beast licking its wounds, waiting for the day to re-emerge.

Now that the Golden Great Era was approaching, various forces began to fiercely contend, eager to try their hand.

This was also normal.

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at Guan Yunyao with a half-smile, saying, "The position of Dao Child has actually already been decided, it is This Divine Son!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunyao's eyes flickered slightly, but she did not show too much surprise.

"When Young Master first arrived at the Academy, Yao'er had already vaguely guessed this possibility."

"Do you feel any resentment in your heart?"

"No, on the contrary, there's a sense of relief; if the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan becomes the Academy's Dao Child, the Guan Family will not dare to have any objections, nor will they make things difficult for me."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Guan Yunyao's exquisite face.

Her entire being instantly relaxed, and her temperament naturally carried a light and elegant charm, which unexpectedly added a few points of captivating allure.

Jiang Ye paused slightly, then deliberately teased, "Then since This Divine Son has helped you so much, you don't need to give me the Qingxin Dao Fruit, right?"

Guan Yunyao's pretty face froze, her smile vanished, replaced by a sullen, wronged expression.

She bit her red lips lightly, her watery eyes slightly reddened, and she softly pouted, "Young Master~"

Jiang Ye laughed heartily; this woman was indeed clever, resorting directly to coquetry.

The two chatted for a while longer, talking and laughing.

For some unknown reason, Guan Yunyao had changed quite a bit; she was no longer as aloof as before, but rather much more cheerful.

It was as if her true nature was revealed, vibrant and lively.

Just as Jiang Ye was feeling content, his brows suddenly twitched, and a familiar voice transmission echoed in his ears.

It was a message from Jiang Yi.

"Your Highness Divine Son, Shen Lian has entered the demonic path and is currently refining the essence blood of an ancient mighty figure. Should I order Jiang Twelve to take action and forcibly suppress him?"

While Jiang Ye was contemplating, a beautiful voice entered his mind.

【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Shen Lian has accepted the Legacy of the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor and is currently refining the essence blood, completely entering the demonic path. Luck value has increased by ten thousand!】

【Ding! Protagonist of Destiny Shen Lian entered the demonic path prematurely due to the host's influence, drastically changing the plot. Refining the essence blood will be affected by the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor's remnant Divine Soul, burying a huge hidden danger. Luck value reduced by 3000 points!】

【Congratulations to the host for +3000 villain points!】

"Ten thousand Luck points? This leek is growing fiercely!" Jiang Ye exclaimed in his heart.

Upon this thought, his heart stirred.

He thought of Chu Nan, who was currently locked in a dog cage, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

"Jiang Yi, do you have a record of Shen Lian entering the demonic path?"

"It has been handled as per your instructions."

"Very good."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly, and with a flip of his palm.

A pale green glowing pill suddenly appeared, with a faint bloody light circulating on its surface.

An eighth-grade sacred medicine, the Qing Soul Pill.

Such things were piled up like mountains in his private treasury.

But it could help Chu Nan recover some of his Divine Soul damage, preventing him from becoming a complete invalid.

Jiang Ye flicked his fingertip, and the Qing Soul Pill steadily landed in Jiang Yi's palm.

"Take Chu Nan to the cave where Shen Lian is in seclusion, time it well, feed this Qing Soul Pill to Chu Nan, and place a copied recording stone beside him..."

"Understood!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Ye's mouth.

Letting the two Protagonists of Destiny kill each other, and with each of them backed by a Great Emperor, there would be a good show to watch next.
