In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Xu Sanshi roared, "Chen Yu, in my previous life... in my previous life, you were the wife I married with great ceremony, and we lived together for decades. Now... you actually make me guard the door for you, and I can hear you fighting with other men. You're clearly deliberately humiliating me!"

Chen Yu pouted, looking unhappy, and said, "Xu Sanshi, I'm trying to help you out, how is that humiliating? You are a reincarnated person, that's true, but I am not. The two Chen Yus have different life experiences. You think I'm your wife from your past life? Heh, you're being too presumptuous!"

"Let me tell you, I'm here to inform you, not to discuss things with you! If you can wholeheartedly serve me and the Sea God, you might be able to obtain a divine position in the future, or at the very least, become the captain of the guards of the Sea God's Temple."

"But if you're fickle and bet on both sides, don't blame me, Chen Yu, for being ruthless and making you wish you were dead!"

After speaking, Chen Yu tossed her long hair behind her, put on a pair of ice-blue high heels, and stepped into the room.

Watching Chen Yu's receding figure, Xu Sanshi sniffed, forced back the tears welling in his eyes, and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Recalling his past life with Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi felt a pang of heartache. A voice in the darkness told him not to betray Huo Yuhao!

On one side is the ticket to the realm of gods, and on the other is his good brother with whom he shared joys and sorrows in his past life. What should he choose?

Chen Yu sat on the windowsill, her big, bright eyes fixed on Xu Sanshi in the courtyard. If he acted strangely at all, she would kill him and make the scene look like it was done by Zhu Ningyun's remnants!

If you have to blame someone, it's because Xu Sanshi is a reincarnated person with over two hundred years of life experience. She didn't have the confidence to keep her identity as the inheritor of the Sea God a secret.

Since we can't hide it anymore, we can only force you, Xu Sanshi, to choose sides: either submit or... die!

……

"Ye Xishui, you little vixen! If it weren't for you stirring up trouble behind the scenes, pushing A-Yi to become some kind of Heavenly Soul Empress, how could our family have fallen to this state? Tell me, tell me!"

"Snow Empress, you eat my food, drink my water, and even wear clothes I bought for you, and you're still complaining? Humph! Quickly, take off those clothes I bought for you and get back to your far north!"

……

Ye Xishui and Xue Di got into an argument in the Liangyi Palace.

The two women spoke loudly enough to be heard throughout the entire palace.

Hearing Ye Xishui and her companion arguing, some officials who remained in the palace to work became restless. If the two women were allowed to continue arguing, it was uncertain whether the Heavenly Soul Palace could continue to exist.

Women are known for their unpredictable nature, and they are the least able to control their emotions. Even two female quasi-gods... it's hard to say.

To save their own lives and fortunes, the officials had no choice but to entrust their mothers, wives, and daughters to the palace to seek help from the two young princesses.

"Your Highnesses, I beg you! Please go and persuade His Majesty and Empress Xue. What's done is done, there's no point in arguing anymore. Just tell us what difficulties you're facing. If we need money, we'll all chip in; if we need manpower, we'll all contribute. With the entire Heavenly Soul Empire united, what difficulty can't we overcome?"

"Yes, Your Highness, you should go and try to persuade the two princes. It's only bad for their harmony if they keep arguing."

Looking at the female soul masters kneeling below the steps, Qin Mengmeng said with red eyes and tears in her eyes, "It's no use. The Sea God Pavilion specifically ordered my mother to step down from the throne and replace her with an emperor who is close to the Sea God Pavilion. They also ordered the Body Sect to close down and not to openly recruit disciples."

"Gods? Those are orders issued by the gods. We have no power to disobey, and we dare not disobey."

"I believe you all know Second Mother's identity. She was once the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Ice and Snow Empress. She was originally a soul beast... Her continued presence in the human world may bring disaster to the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"There was no other way; they could only create a reason for Second Aunt to return to the far north by arguing. They didn't inform you beforehand, which caused you... trouble."

As she spoke, Qin Mengmeng could no longer control her emotions, and two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the ground.

Ugh!

In front of the Palace of a Thousand Flowers, sighs rang out continuously, and tears welled up in everyone's eyes.

Perhaps lamenting Qin Mengmeng's fate, or perhaps feeling reluctant to part with Ye Xishui, this diligent and capable empress... will probably never be seen again.

People have never cared who the highest rulers are; they only care about their own interests. But the problem is… without the support of Ye Xishui and the Body Sect, can those beneficial systems for the country and its people continue?

It's all the fault of the Sea God Pavilion!

Are they trying to control the entire continent with just one city, relying on the backing of the gods?

Are you kidding me!

How can there be such shameless people in this world?

Of course, they only thought these things in their hearts. No matter how unsatisfactory life is, they still have to go on. The world will keep turning even if someone is gone. They just hope that the Sea God Pavilion can be more generous and not add to their burdens. If they are really squeezed to the point that they can't stand it anymore, they will move their whole families to the far north and seek refuge with their Snow Emperor.

The perspective shifts to the Liangyi Palace.

Ye Xishui and Xue Di were tired of arguing... no, rather than tired of arguing, they were at a loss for words. Both of them were ladies and sisters who shared a bed. It wouldn't be good to say anything too harsh. They were just putting on an act, so they would stop here.

"Xi Shui, what instructions did that bastard give? Does he want us to remain silent?"

Xue Di ate the grilled skewers sent by the imperial kitchen and chug down the craft beer produced by the system, completely disregarding her image. She is truly a down-to-earth goddess.

"Whom the heavens would destroy, they first make mad. After this catastrophe, the Sea God Pavilion will feel that they have divine backing, and they will only become more arrogant and domineering towards the three great empires, venting all their arrogance. When the time is right, the god Zhu Ningyun in people's hearts will be resurrected once again."

"Oh, by the way, not just the Sea God Pavilion, we... hehe, we should take good care of Huo Yuhao. Once people develop a sense of pride and extravagance, it's very difficult for them to give it up."

"I will fuel Huo Yuhao's arrogance, making him believe that the world revolves around him, that he is the protagonist of this world. Once his tyrannical ambitions are unleashed, I will destroy everything he possesses!"

As she spoke, Ye Xishui revealed the same expression as Rong Momo, viciously grabbing at the air with her right hand, as if she held the world in her grasp. (End of Chapter)
