On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

"This is to show our sincerity to the Great Xia, to establish friendly relations for generations, in exchange for the chance for our Great Zhou to survive... cough cough, to prolong its reign!"

"Damn it! Someone else's son? To make me the emperor of the Ji family?"

"Aren't we half blood relatives?"

"That's right... even if a man from the Ji family marries another woman, they're still only half blood!"

"Half-blood ties are better than losing your life!"

After a lively discussion, everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

Ji Wuming coldly shouted, "That's it!"

……

The next afternoon.

The Great Xia Dynasty, Longdu, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

Ye Fan had another day of frantic sales, and returned from the world's number one auction house feeling completely relaxed.

Qin Ren has gone mad. The Crimson Merchant Guild has not made any new moves for the time being, and the Wang family, an ancient clan in Zhongzhou, is like a dead family, making no move whatsoever.

As soon as Ye Fan stepped into the courtyard of the Prince's mansion, Consort Xiao Rong walked towards him, holding a letter in her hand and handing it to him.

"Sister Rongfei, what is this?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.

Consort Xiao Rong shook her head: "See for yourself."

When Ye Fan opened it, he was surprised to find that it was a letter from the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The wording was humble, and the whole page was filled with a desire for peace! Between the lines, there was also a sense of fear.

The letter mentioned that they were willing to support Ji Ruoyao as the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty and maintain a lasting friendship with the Great Xia Dynasty! It also subtly indicated that they were willing to let Ji Ruoyao become Ye Fan's woman and give birth to a son who would become the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"puff…………"

Ye Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Ji Ruoyao's face flashed into my mind! That carefree princess, her personality is very similar to Sai Luoli's, she made a suggestive remark the moment we met.

"Sister Rongfei, what do you think?"

Consort Xiao shook her head: "Ruoyao and I have a good relationship, but... this concerns the survival of Great Xia and the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and cannot be affected by personal feelings!"

"Xiao Fan, you're in charge!"

Ye Fan slowly sat down: "Sister Rongfei, do you know why the Great Zhou suddenly sought peace?"

Consort Xiao did not answer, but simply looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said calmly, "After the three-nation allied forces were defeated, the Yunluo Empire sent envoys to sue for peace the very next day, bowing its head in submission!"

"The Japanese pirate nation has been utterly destroyed by us! Their country has been wiped out, and their race exterminated!"

"Only the Great Zhou Dynasty has not only made no move in the past half month, but also sent men to ambush me on my way back!"

Even after their defeat, they continued to play dead! There was still no explanation, no messengers, not even a letter!

"During this time, they're still waiting to see if the Wang family, an ancient clan from Zhongzhou, can kill me!"

"Let's see if the Crimson Merchant Guild can destroy my Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and make my family fall apart!"

Ye Fan's eyes grew colder, a murderous intent spreading through them: "Now, seeing Eighth Sister's army marching off, they're afraid!"

"Even if they come to sue for peace now, all they'll get is a letter of pleas! Hahahaha..."

Ye Fan laughed and shook his head, "Sister Rongfei, don't you think the Great Zhou is taking us too lightly?"

Every word Ye Fan uttered made Consort Xiao's expression turn more serious!

The last sentence landed!

Consort Xiao Rong nodded solemnly!

A cold glint appeared on Ye Fan's lips: "A petty person fears power, not virtue! A virtuous person fears virtue, not power!"

"The Ji family of the Great Zhou is nothing but a bunch of despicable people! Today they're afraid of you, kneeling on the ground begging for peace! Tomorrow they'll think you're weak and turn around to stab you in the back!"

"What's the difference between these people and Japanese pirates?"

Consort Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up: "Xiao Fan, you think the same way I do! I was worried that you would go easy on me because Ji Ruoyao knows me!"

She stepped forward and hugged Ye Fan!

He pressed Ye Fan's head against his chest: "With you here, Ya Fei and I feel safe and secure enough to do what you believe is right!"

We will always support you!

Release Ye Fan, Duang~~~

After shaking it a few times, he turned and left with a smile.

Ye Fan stared at Consort Xiao's departing figure, muttering to himself, "Haven't I lived three lifetimes just to protect you?"

"Anyone who dares to harm you will be killed without mercy, one by one!"

At that moment, a voice echoed in Ye Fan's mind.

"Master! The dragon carp has woken up!"

"Oh?"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

He quickly returned to his yard and went into his room.

Sitting cross-legged, a thought entered the chaotic space!

"Awooo, awooo—!"

When the dragon carp saw Ye Fan, it jumped up excitedly.

When it woke up, it suddenly found itself in a dark and chaotic space. It was terrified. When it saw its master, Ye Fan, it immediately rushed into Ye Fan's arms.

"Little guy, you've really evolved!" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

The dragon carp originally looked like a giant salamander, but its appearance was also somewhat similar to the legendary dragon!

However, its body still had the scales of a carp, and its fins and head only had the rudimentary form of a dragon! But after swallowing a drop of dragon blood, two small protrusions actually appeared between the two eyes of the dragon carp and the middle of its head!

"Dragon horns?"

Ye Fan was somewhat surprised!

Even more remarkably, the dragon carp's body length increased, from the thickness of an infant's arm to the thickness of an adult's arm!

"Come on, let me see what other changes have occurred in your body!"

Ye Fan was delighted and examined the details of the dragon carp's body.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

The dragon carp refused, covering its private parts tightly with its two little paws.

I thought Ye Fan was going to check again to see if she was male or female!

"I know you're a girl, so I won't check your little sister this time, okay~~~"

Ye Fan grinned and gave the dragon carp another drop of dragon blood before she agreed to let him examine her.

After the check-up was completed, Long Li yawned a few more times and fell asleep in Ye Fan's arms!

Ye Fan was somewhat speechless: "Why are you asleep again?"

The Chaos Cauldron said, "Master, for magical beasts to evolve, slumber is the most powerful method!"

"The dragon carp has consumed another drop of dragon blood, so it naturally needs to go into a deep sleep."

"All right."

Ye Fan put the dragon carp down and was about to exit the chaotic space.

The Chaos Cauldron spoke again: "Congratulations, Master! Your strength has increased!"

"According to the rules, the seventh level of the Chaos Space can be opened!"

"Lying down in a trough?"

Ye Fan was completely bewildered: "That can't be right! I haven't advanced during this time; I'm still a third-tier Martial Spirit."

The Chaos Cauldron declared, "The Dragon Carp is the master's contracted magical beast!"

"The contracted magical beast has evolved and advanced! This also signifies an increase in the master's strength!"

Ye Fan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! Let's go, open the seventh floor for me!"

Boom—!

The white jade gate to the seventh level of the Chaos Space opened with a roar. The moment Ye Fan stepped in, the Chaos Myriad Things Cauldron announced: "Congratulations, Master, you have obtained a Chaos Reward. Throw it!"
