Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 196 - 194: Stunning Beauty

The King announced that in half a month they would officially set out towards the Emperor’s Cultivation Land, and allowed the Five Young Supreme to leave.

"Emperor’s Cultivation Land, truly a place that makes one yearn," Xiao Ye stepped out of the Imperial Palace, looked up at the sky, his face full of anticipation.

His anticipation was not only for the Empress’s legacy and treasures, but also for the competition with the Young Supreme from the twelve nations of the Yulan Domain. By comparison, the Heavenly Pride Battle of Black Dragon Country was far inferior, not on the same level.

"Brother Xiao!"

Outside the Imperial Palace, many Young Talents spotted Xiao Ye emerging and immediately greeted him with smiles, humbly flattering him, seeking to befriend Xiao Ye.

These people would all be the future pillars of Black Dragon Country. For the sake of Xiao Alliance’s development, Xiao Ye did not refuse and chatted with them, displaying a very easygoing attitude.

This earned Xiao Ye a significant increase in popularity among the Young Talents.

"Father, are you planning to make a move against Xiao Ye now?" He Wudao, one of the Five Young Supreme, ascended to Heaven and came to He Mo’s side.

He Mo’s cold gaze fell on Xiao Ye, then withdrew it, shaking his head: "No need, this youngster has cultivated to the stage of Four Cauldrons Emerge, and has already formed a cause and effect with the Empress. He will definitely have a great opportunity in the Emperor’s Cultivation Land."

"I will make my move after he comes out from the Emperor’s Cultivation Land. By then, the King’s Forbidden Xuan Order will be useless," He Mo said coldly, then his gaze shifted in another direction.

There, several figures emitting a suppressing aura were also watching Xiao Ye closely.

"Hmph, thinking of the same thing as me?" He Mo sneered and looked over the Mystic Martial strongmen of the entire Black Dragon Country; his power was second only to the King.

Sensing He Mo’s gaze, those hidden Mystic Martial strongmen quickly disappeared with a flash.

"Let’s go, my son," He Mo withdrew his gaze and left with He Wudao.

​In that moment, Xiao Ye felt something and looked towards the Sky Horizon, but discovered nothing.

"It seems this journey to the Emperor’s Cultivation Land will be fraught with difficulties," Xiao Ye murmured softly under his breath, feeling a tremendous pressure rising within him.

He was very aware, not just of He Mo, there surely were other Mystic Martial strongmen targeting him because of the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.

"I hope that in the Emperor’s Cultivation Land, I can attain the Mystic Martial," Xiao Ye shook his head; he was set on going to the Emperor’s Cultivation Land, and thinking too much at this point was pointless. After all, he was still within the Imperial City, and He Mo certainly wouldn’t dare to touch him.

At this moment, Long Yu approached, his royal talents quickly dispersing the surrounding Young Talents.

"Brother Xiao, your wife heard you were staying at my place, she’s currently waiting for you at my residence," Long Yu said with a smile.

"Sister!" Thinking of Bing Ya, Xiao Ye’s emotions stirred, his mind too distracted to rebuke Long Yu’s bluntness, and he quickly headed towards Long Yu’s residence.

"Brother Xiao, with your conditions, are you still afraid your wife would run away?" Long Yu muttered, hastening to follow.

In Long Yu’s residence, Xiao Ye found Bing Ya; she was sitting in a chair, her back towards him, her hair cascading down like a waterfall, her back exuding a holy aura.

"Sister," Xiao Ye stood outside the room, gazing at Bing Ya’s back, a gentle smile spreading across his face.

When he first met Bing Ya years ago, she was also facing away from him.

"I truly wish this moment could last forever," Xiao Ye silently wished.

Ever since Bing Ya had spoken those words to him in the Imperial Palace, Xiao Ye felt as though only a thin layer of window paper was left between them.

This feeling was extremely wonderful, intoxicating Xiao Ye.

"Junior brother." Bing Ya heard the footsteps behind her, then stood up and turned around gracefully.

Xiao Ye was about to step into the room when suddenly, he felt as though struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot, his mouth wide open.

Bing Ya was filled with a holy and cold aura, but what was different now was that she had removed the light veil from her face.

At that moment, Xiao Ye’s whole world lit up, a perfect, flawless face reflected in his pitch-black pupils.

It seemed like the crowning glory of creation by Heaven itself; her unadorned fair face was flawlessly beautiful, stunningly breathtaking, almost unreal, like a goddess who had descended to the mortal world, making Xiao Ye realize what a ’national beauty and heavenly fragrance’ truly was.

Bing Ya wore no jewelry, for no ornament could match her unrivaled beauty. Any other woman standing before Bing Ya would pale in comparison.

Additionally, the aura Bing Ya possessed deterred any frivolous thoughts.

"Junior brother, do I look beautiful?" Bing Ya, seeing Xiao Ye’s dazed expression, couldn’t help but smile lightly, gracefully turning around, displaying her elegant and slender figure completely before Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye shivered, regaining his consciousness, his cheeks burning. If Bing Ya wasn’t beautiful, then what were all the other women to do? Might they as well jump into the river from shame?

"Sister, from now on you should remain unveiled; otherwise, it would be a waste of your beauty," Xiao Ye said, slightly embarrassed, not expecting Bing Ya to be so stunning.

"Okay, from now on I won’t cover my face. I’ll let you see every day," Bing Ya nodded seriously, suddenly realizing the ambiguity in her words, her ears turning red as she lowered her head.

An awkward yet tender atmosphere spread between the two.

"Brother Xiao Ye, sister-in-law, the banquet is ready, just waiting for you... Oh my!" At this moment, Long Yu came over, but when he saw Bing Ya, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Pfft!

Seeing Long Yu’s embarrassed look, Bing Ya couldn’t help but laugh. In an instant, the ice mountain melted, the snow lotus blossomed, and the whole room was filled with fragrance.

In the evening, Long Yu arranged a celebration banquet for Xiao Ye, and his gaze towards Bing Ya was filled with stupor.

Even many years later, this embarrassing moment of Long Yu was often brought up by Xiao Ye as a joke.

The next morning, Bing Ya, dressed in green clothes, walked out of Long Yu’s residence with Xiao Ye, planning to stroll around the Imperial City since there was still half a month until the Emperor’s Cultivation Land opened.

"Sigh, truly a disaster brought by beauty, even a cultivation fanatic like Xiao Ye has fallen. This is our Black Dragon Country’s First Young Supreme," Long Yu said with a sigh for the world.

Xiao Ye, of course, did not know that Long Yu was making fun of him behind his back; at this moment, he was helplessly watching the passersby being stirred up by Bing Ya’s beauty.

"Sister, maybe you should cover up with a light veil?" Xiao Ye tentatively asked.

Bing Ya glanced at Xiao Ye and said, "You were the one who told me to remove the veil; are you trying to dodge responsibility now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye was dumbfounded and felt like thunder was rolling. He just suggested wearing the veil; how did it relate to taking responsibility at all!

However, Xiao Ye had long learned about Bing Ya’s non-human-like logic and could only give up that idea with a wry smile.

"It’s the Young Supreme Lord Xiao Ye!" The residents of the Imperial City immediately recognized Xiao Ye, and they all became excited.

"Sister, it seems you are also a celebrity now. You should wear your human skin mask when you go out in the future," Bing Ya said with a smile, her beautiful hair dancing in the wind, stunningly beautiful.

"It’s okay," Xiao Ye touched his nose and smiled proudly.

The two walked along while enjoying the local customs of the Imperial City, looking very relaxed.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ye’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he spotted a jewelry store.

His gaze swept over Bing Ya, then he spoke, "Come on, let me buy you something."

Bing Ya hesitated for a moment, a gentle smile appearing on her lips, and obediently followed him.

"Young Supreme Xiao Ye!" The owner of the jewelry store got a shock upon seeing Xiao Ye and hurriedly jogged over.

When he saw Bing Ya behind Xiao Ye, he immediately froze in place.

"Humph! Keep staring and I’ll gouge out your eyes." Xiao Ye was very displeased, his eyes shooting out a cold light that made the jewelry store owner feel utterly cold and as if plunged into an ice cellar.

Bing Ya gently laughed, a hint of color flashing in her icy eyes.

"Supreme Xiao Ye, please feel free to look around; all the jewelry here is half-price for you," the jewelry store owner said shrewdly, immediately shifting his gaze and smiling warmly.

"No need. Whatever the price, I’ll pay that," Xiao Ye waved his hand, looking very generous.

Joking aside, how could he buy discounted items in front of Bing Ya? Even if it meant swelling his face, he had to pretend to be wealthy.

"Yes, yes!" The jewelry store owner nodded and bowed hurriedly, leading Xiao Ye to choose the items.

Xiao Ye’s gaze swept across many pieces of jewelry, quickly picking out a silver-white bracelet, simple and elegant, matching Bing Ya’s temperament perfectly.

"Supreme Xiao Ye really has good taste. This bracelet is called the Ocean Chain, said to be crafted by a couple in the Xuanwu Realm. It comes in pairs, and this is one of them, the Sea Chain."

"If you can also find the other chain, unbelievable things will happen when worn by a couple," the jewelry store owner quickly praised.

"What? Crafted by a Xuanwu Realm expert!" Xiao Ye was shocked, automatically ignoring what the jewelry store owner said afterwards.

He didn’t believe those stories.

However, Bing Ya seemed interested, as a woman, she naturally harbored dreamy expectations about such matters.

At that moment, Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat thinking about the bracelet crafted by a Xuanwu Realm expert. It would definitely be extraordinarily valuable and could fetch a sky-high price. He only had a total of tens of thousands of silver notes on him.

"How much is this bracelet?" Xiao Ye asked quietly.

"One million silver," the shop owner smiled and spoke.

Xiao Ye’s body stiffened, his expression turning ugly, as this price was outrageous.

Bing Ya seemed to notice Xiao Ye’s distress and shook her head, "Junior brother, forget it, I don’t really like this bracelet."

"No, I’m set on this bracelet, Senior Sister, you stay here, wait for me," Xiao Ye said, then turned and hurried away.

Regardless of whether the bracelet was crafted by a Xuanwu Realm expert, as long as it could make Bing Ya happy, he must buy it.

"Long Yu, you Third Prince, you must be able to come up with a million silver, right? If you don’t, I’ll rob you!" Xiao Ye thought fiercely and rushed toward Long Yu’s residence.
