Zhou Manor.
The garden was a paradise of blossoming flowers, their fragrances blending into an intoxicating scent that delighted the senses.
"Husband is truly incredible!"
Xiao Yu sighed with emotion as she stepped out of her room, basking in the warmth of the sunlight. She decided to explore her new home properly since she had been married into the Zhou family for several days yet hadn't ventured beyond her courtyard.
"Hm?"
As she wandered into the rear garden, Xiao Yu's curiosity was piqued by some peculiar sounds. She followed the source of the noise, weaving through paths and flower beds.
After several turns, she arrived at a breathtaking sea of flowers.
"So beautiful!"
Xiao Yu was enchanted, her eyes filled with admiration. However, when her gaze landed on a particular scene amidst the flowers, she froze in place.
"Ah…"
Her alabaster hands shot up to cover her crimson lips as her cheeks flushed a deep red.
"The esteemed Crown Princess… and my husband…"
Xiao Yu was utterly stunned. She never imagined that the normally aloof and elegant Crown Princess Yao Ye would be with Zhou Yi in such an intimate manner.
It was like a knife stabbing her heart—shocking and surreal.
Her heart pounded wildly as she covered her face and turned to flee.
But in the next instant, an invisible force whisked her off her feet and sent her flying back into the flower bed.
"Wha—?!"
Xiao Yu's wide eyes brimmed with disbelief.
The battlefield's participants had just increased by one.
"This shameless scoundrel…"
Meanwhile, Yun Yun, who was passing by, caught a glimpse of the scene from a distance. She muttered a silent curse under her breath and hurried away, determined not to meet Xiao Yu's fate.
If she got involved, the battlefield would undoubtedly expand further.
After all, life was about seizing joy in the moment. Why waste time gazing at the moon through an empty wine cup?
Zhou Yi believed in living fully and indulgently.
As the sun rose and fell, a powerful aura at the Dou Emperor level surged from the Zhou Manor. In the bedroom, a purple-gold dragon egg began to crack open.
With a crisp shatter, a long, jade-white leg stepped out of the remnants of the egg, revealing a tall and stunning beauty.
Purple eyes.
Purple hair.
Mature and voluptuous.
Cold and elegant.
Who else could it be but Zi Yan?
After consuming the Return-Origin Pill Zhou Yi had given her, Zi Yan's cultivation soared to the peak of the Dou Emperor realm. The pill also resolved the drawbacks of the Transformation Herb, allowing her to grow into a strikingly beautiful woman with purple hair.
Buzz.
The space rippled, and Zhou Yi appeared.
"Big Brother!"
Zi Yan's face lit up with joy, and she dashed into Zhou Yi's embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Big Brother, I've grown up!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, you have," Zhou Yi nodded, unable to deny that Zi Yan's figure was… remarkable.
She truly lived up to being a Ancient Void Dragon.
In terms of beauty and allure, even his wife Ya Fei was only barely her equal.
At least a D-grade… thirty-six!
"Husband!"
A cool voice rang out as Yun Yun arrived, sensing Zi Yan's aura. However, the sight of Zhou Yi holding an unfamiliar beauty made her eyes turn frosty with jealousy.
"And who is this?" Yun Yun asked, her voice tinged with accusation.
"Yun'er, this is Zi Yan," Zhou Yi explained, releasing the dragon girl and introducing her earnestly.
"Zi Yan?"
Yun Yun furrowed her brows. She vaguely recalled the name but associated it with a little girl. However, the woman before her was leagues apart.
"She's not human but a magical beast—specifically, an Ancient Void Dragon," Zhou Yi clarified briefly.
Realization dawned on Yun Yun as she glared at him, her beautiful eyes full of reproach. Her gaze seemed to accuse him of even preying on Zi Yan.
Zhou Yi: "..."
Zi Yan wasn't exactly young.
In fact, her age exceeded that of Zhou Yi, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, and Xiao Yu combined.
But age didn't matter in a world of cultivation.
Especially when Zi Yan was a magical beast of immense potential.
To celebrate Zi Yan's growth, Zhou Yi refined more pills for her. With her incredible potential as a Ancient Void Dragon, her cultivation advanced rapidly, and her bond with Zhou Yi grew deeper.
One day, Zhou Yi sensed a Dou Ancestor-level fluctuation emanating from the Tager Desert's Snake-People Royal City. Without hesitation, he disappeared from the Zhou Manor.
Snake-People Royal City.
An overwhelming and terrifying aura erupted, blanketing the entire city at an astonishing speed.
"Her Majesty succeeded!"
Feeling the aura, countless Snake-People erupted in ecstatic cheers that echoed through the heavens.
In the palace, Zhou Yi's figure materialized. He looked at the voluptuous and regal Medusa, whose every step exuded captivating charm.
"Congratulations on reaching the Dou Ancestor realm, Your Majesty," Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Medusa wore a sheer, purple silk dress that accentuated her flawless, curvaceous figure. Beneath the gown, her long, alabaster legs graced the crimson carpet, her toes like exquisite works of art.
"Thank you for the pill," Medusa replied, her enchanting voice dripping with allure as she sashayed toward Zhou Yi.
Her face was peerlessly seductive, her phoenix-like eyes brimming with charm. Every word she spoke carried an intoxicating allure.
"No need for thanks," Zhou Yi said, wrapping an arm around her slender waist. As he leaned in, he breathed in her fragrant hair and murmured, "The Dou Ancestor realm is just the beginning. Would Her Majesty care to join me in scaling even greater heights?"
Medusa's enchanting eyes flickered with amusement as she replied softly, "Do I even have a choice?"
She had long realized that Zhou Yi, a Dou Venerate, had been influencing her dreams. To say no now would be futile.
Besides, Zhou Yi was handsome, powerful, and skilled.
Following him didn't seem like a bad idea.
"Your Majesty is truly stunning," Zhou Yi said, unable to restrain his admiration as he leaned in closer.
Even as a seasoned veteran, he found Medusa irresistible.
Moments later, Medusa suddenly stopped him, her voice firm.
"Not until you marry me!"
"Alright, I'll marry you right away," Zhou Yi replied indulgently.
But as the tension built, Medusa transformed her legs into a snake tail.
"Hey! Turn back!" Zhou Yi exclaimed, caught off guard.
Medusa smirked triumphantly, her tail coiling gracefully. After a playful scuffle, Zhou Yi reluctantly returned to the Zhou Manor, his frustration redirected elsewhere.
Soon, news spread that Zhou Yi would be marrying both Queen Medusa and Yue Mei.
The Jia Ma Empire was shaken once more.
