Outside the palace walls, Ye Yu and Yin Feijing strolled silently.

Neither of them spoke, as if waiting for the other.

Eventually, Yin Feijing, unable to hold her patience any longer, spoke first.

“Daoist Master, you seem quite familiar. Have we met before?”

Ye Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He smiled and said, “Didn’t we just meet a few days ago? At that time, you were wearing a cloak. But now, you’re dressed as a princess.”

“You, demon, what exactly are you planning?”

Yin Feijing also came to a halt. She turned to face Ye Yu.

Even before speaking, she had already quietly set up a soundproof barrier.

As expected, Ye Yu had guessed her identity.

It was her own oversight. She hadn’t hidden the Concealment Pendant well.

But who would have thought, she would run into Ye Yu here?

Yin Feijing said, “What I want to do is simply retrieve what rightfully belongs to me. Rest assured, I am very honest here and will not harm anyone. So please, keep this secret for me.”

Ye Yu did not rush to agree.

Instead, he looked up at the bright moonlight.

Seeing this, Yin Feijing’s face showed frustration.

She immediately began to offer more.

“As long as you agree to keep my secret, I’ll give you something extra as compensation!”

Hearing this, Ye Yu slowly brought his gaze back down and said, “Hmm, since you’re offering voluntarily, I’m not forcing you.”

For some reason, every time Ye Yu saw Yin Feijing, he wanted to tease her.

This demoness was indeed very interesting.

Yin Feijing was infuriated. Every encounter with Ye Yu left her at a disadvantage.

This made her extremely displeased.

In her heart, she couldn’t help but think: Just wait. Once I get that item, one day. I’ll make you regret it!

Yin Feijing snorted coldly, and left the place directly.

Upon returning, she was surprised to find her father, Yin Zhi, was waiting for her at the door.

Seeing this, Yin Feijing hurried forward and quickly greeted him.

Yin Zhi, however, shook his head with a smile.

“There’s no need for such formalities between us father and daughter. So, what do you think of that man from earlier?”

“If you like him, your father can arrange a marriage for you!”

Yin Feijing’s eyes widened in surprise.

She shook her head repeatedly, saying, “Father, you mustn’t make such matchmaking decisions! How could I possibly like him?”

Yin Zhi laughed, “If you don’t like him, why did you go out at night to give him spirit fruits? And why go for a walk alone with him? Doesn’t this indicate something?”

Yin Feijing’s expression became awkward.

She wanted to refute, but couldn’t find a suitable reason.

After struggling for a while, she could only mutter, “Father, it’s not like you think. Me and that person…Ah, anyway, I will not fall for him.”

“When you fall for someone you think you could never like. That’s the most dangerous kind of love!”

Yin Zhi sighed somewhat.

He then waved his hand, “Get some rest. I’ll give you a gift tomorrow!”

After stamping her foot in frustration, Yin Feijing gave up on arguing with Yin Zhi.

Because this matter would only get more complicated. There was no way to clarify it.

After a while.

Yin Zhi, dragging his obese body, slowly stood up.

He walked forward.

Under the moonlight, his large seemed very lonely.

After reaching a secluded spot, Yin Zhi suddenly began to cough violently, even coughing up blood.

Yet, despite this, Yin Zhi didn’t think of calling for help.

Instead, he calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and whispered softly, “Good daughter, your father doesn’t have much time left. But don’t worry, I will make sure everything is arranged for you.”

……

Meanwhile.

In the Northern Desolate continent.

Within the Great Yong Dynasty, the area was ablaze.

A stunningly beautiful woman in light armor ascended the steps in front of the palace.

This woman was Huangfu Baizhi.

In the seventh dream realm.

Ye Yu, who had obtained the Prodigal Sacred Body, became the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty.

He then married the female general under his command, Huangfu Baizhi.

But upon waking from the dream, Huangfu Baizhi did not find Ye Yu. Instead, she received an imperial decree to marry the Fifteenth Prince, Ye Anming.

Huangfu Baizhi, finding her refusal futile, indignantly rebelled.

After all, with the experience from the dream realm, rebellion was something Huangfu Baizhi was quite familiar with.

Most importantly.

In this life, without Ye Yu, the Emperor, persuading her to surrender, Huangfu Baizhi was even more unstoppable.

She faced no opponents along the way.

By now, she had directly invaded the Great Yong Dynasty’s imperial palace.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Huangfu Baizhi felt even more convinced that her time with Ye Yu was not just a dream.

Everything in the palace felt incredibly familiar to her.

How could a dream be so clear?

When Huangfu Baizhi reached the end of the long staircase, the Great Yong Dynasty’s imperial family had been completely subdued.

They were brought before Huangfu Baizhi.

The Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty, Ye Kuiliang, was at the forefront of the crowd.

His face was the epitome of distress.

He never imagined that merely issuing a marriage decree would result in the destruction of the entire Great Yong Dynasty.

Had he known this would happen, he would have never issued that imperial decree.

However, Huangfu Baizhi, the daughter of the rebel general, was truly formidable, far surpassing her father.

In such a short time, she had conquered the entire Great Yong Dynasty.

Such a campaign was indeed was nothing short of legendary.

Now, the fate of the dynasty had been sealed. There was no point in further discussion.

Ye Kuiliang could only strive to preserve the last shred of his dignity as Emperor. Coldly, he said, “General Huangfu, if you intend to kill me, do it quickly!”

Huangfu Baizhi shook her head slightly.

“You are Ye Yu’s father. If I kill you, how could he still marry me? So even if you arranged a marriage in error, I will not kill you!”

This statement left Ye Kuiliang puzzled.

He quickly asked, “Ye Yu? Who is Ye Yu?”

Huangfu Baizhi didn’t elaborate much.

Since waking from the dream, she had never stopped investigating Ye Yu’s whereabouts. But the answers she received all stated that there was no such person.

This left Huangfu Baizhi very confused.

Why was there a discrepancy between the dream and reality?

But even so, Huangfu Baizhi still believed that Ye Yu was real.

Therefore, when she invaded the palace.

Huangfu Baizhi had already decided to spare Ye Kuiliang’s life.

Better to be safe than sorry. If Ye Yu truly had some blood relation with Ye Kuiliang, then killing this person would be like killing her own father-in-law.

Thus, she preferred to take the risk of keeping Ye Kuiliang alive, rather than be burdened with the reputation of killing her father-in-law.

After all, what Huangfu Baizhi wanted was to continue her past connection with Ye Yu.

And she had no interest in the position of Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty.

It could be said this empire was conquered by Huangfu Baizhi for Ye Yu.

No matter where he was, when he appeared, Huangfu Baizhi would have everything prepared for him.

Just like in the dream.

She would be the Empress, and Ye Yu the Emperor!
