Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Ye Yunyi Becomes the New City Lord

"As of today, I am resigning from my position as City Lord. My husband will be taking my place."

Her words fell upon the crowd.

Leaving them stunned.

The City Lord is resigning?!

And Lord Ye is taking over!

Everyone looked at Bai Zhixi; this was clearly an announcement, not a discussion.

Not a single one of them dared to object.

Zhou Huaiwei and the others listened to Bai Zhixi’s words and looked at her.

Then they glanced at Ye Yunyi.

’My own husband is the new City Lord?!’

Then, a quick-witted Mutant stood up.

He raised his wine glass.

"City Lord Ye, I propose a toast to you! Bottoms up!"

With that, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

How bold!

Seeing this, the others quickly rose to their feet and raised their glasses as well.

"City Lord, a toast to you!"

"From now on, we will follow your lead! Together, we will build up Nebula Barrier!"

"Bottoms up!"

"Bottoms up!"

...

One after another, everyone drained the wine in their hands.

A while later, the banquet ended.

The guests began to depart.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi looked at Bai Zhixi. It was time to consummate their marriage.

Inside the room.

Ye Yunyi looked at Bai Zhixi.

The dignified and stern woman from before was gone.

In her place was a shy, blushing maiden.

She stared at the floor, her mind racing.

’I’ve never been with anyone before, so what do I do?’

’Will it hurt?’

’Huh?’

’No one ever taught me this!’

’This is...!’

As these thoughts flooded her mind, Ye Yunyi drew the curtains.

And then...

They consummated their marriage.

「The next morning.」

Zhou Huaiwei and the others woke up.

The Han Family Sisters stared at Zhou Huaiwei, stunned.

Zhou Huaiwei had faint dark circles under her eyes.

"Sister, what’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well last night?" the Han Family Sisters asked.

Zhou Huaiwei looked at them and said faintly, "Little Sister Bai is a Mutant, after all. Her stamina is on a whole other level."

Her single sentence was all it took for everyone to understand.

After all, Zhou Huaiwei’s room was the closest to the one where the marriage was being consummated.

They must have been at it very late, hence the dark circles.

Meanwhile.

Ye Yunyi also got up. The next moment, a screen of light popped up before him.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully marrying a wife! Reward: Nine Nether Qi has entered the Second Stage! Power amplification and duration have been increased!]

’Oh?’

’This is pretty good!’

Looking at the reward, Ye Yunyi’s lips curled into a smile.

’Now the boost to my power will be even greater!’

’Excellent!’

He looked at the light screen.

[Name: Ye Yunyi]

[Height: 185cm]

[Tier: Mid-Golden Stage]

[Skills: Rapid Absorption, Divine-level Hunting Skill, Second Stage of Nine Nether Qi, Divine-level Body Technique]

[Weapon: Tier One War Axe]

[Artifacts: 19 Divine-level Exotic Beast Control Pills]

He got up and went out.

He headed downstairs.

After Ye Yunyi left, Bai Zhixi finally poked her head out from under the covers.

Seeing that he was gone, she thought back to the previous night, her face flushing with shyness.

"He’s more of a beast than an Exotic Beast!" Bai Zhixi grumbled.

She prepared to get up as well.

Downstairs, Ye Yunyi saw everyone and started eating breakfast.

"Where’s Little Sister Bai?" the Han Family Sisters asked.

"Still sleeping," Ye Yunyi said. Han Bingxue snickered. "Right, she was worked so hard last night. She must be exhausted. She needs a good rest. Even if she’s a Mutant, she’s not made of iron, is she?"

"Oh?" Ye Yunyi looked at her. "How about you help take some of the heat tonight?"

Han Bingxue: "..."

She fell silent.

Her face turned bright red.

’My sister is right here watching!’

’How could he say something like that!’

Just then, Little Heizi saw everyone eating and trotted over.

Ye Yunyi looked at it.

’There aren’t any Exotic Beasts for it to eat right now.’

’Maybe I should just kill a Wind-Chasing Leopard for it.’

If the Wind-Chasing Leopards outside knew what Ye Yunyi was thinking, they would be cursing him out a million times over.

The next moment, the screen of light popped up again!

[Congratulations to the Host’s wife for a successful pregnancy! Reward: 500 jin of Divine-level Beast Food!]

’Huh?’

’It can even do this?’

Ye Yunyi stared, feeling a bit helpless.

’Talk about perfect timing.’

He glanced at Little Heizi.

’Alright then.’

He led Little Heizi into the courtyard.

Once in the courtyard, he found a bowl for it.

With a flip of his wrist, a large bag of beast food appeared.

He grabbed a few handfuls and put them in the dog bowl.

"Go on, eat up. Look how hungry you are!"

Before Ye Yunyi could even finish speaking, Little Heizi pounced on it.

It began to eat.

After eating for a short while, it suddenly fell into a dormant state.

"You’re full after just that little bit?" Ye Yunyi stared, stunned.

’This Divine-level Beast Food is the real deal!’

’These 500 jin will last a long time.’

As Ye Yunyi was thinking this,

he heard a CRACKING sound.

Ye Yunyi looked down to see Little Heizi’s body suddenly start to grow!

’What the!’

He stared at Little Heizi.

A screen of light rose before him.

[Species: Moon-Devouring Celestial Wolf]

[Bloodline: Pure]

[Tier: Early-Golden Stage]

’Early-Golden Stage?!’

’Holy crap, this little guy broke through just like that?!’

’Huh?’

’What the hell!’

’After eating just a tiny bit of beast food?!’

’You have to remember, when I broke through, I had to rely on an entire Exotic Beast Tide!’

’All those Crystal Cores!’

’And I barely managed to break through!’

For a moment, Ye Yunyi’s gaze fell on the beast food.

’Maybe...?’

’I should try some?’

The moment the thought appeared, Ye Yunyi quickly dismissed it.

’What the hell, am I crazy?’

’Still, now that it’s at the Early-Golden Stage, it can effectively guard Nebula Barrier!’

’This is a good thing!’

’Let it sleep.’

Ye Yunyi went back inside and saw Bai Zhixi sitting at the dining table, eating.

Without the status of City Lord, it was much easier for her to interact with the other women.

Seeing Ye Yunyi return, Bai Zhixi blushed and asked, "Husband, have you finished eating?"

"I’m done. You all go ahead."

Ye Yunyi went back outside.

A short while later, the other women came out as well.

"Wow! Little Heizi got bigger again!" Han Bingyu exclaimed, looking at the creature. She then introduced it to Bai Zhixi. "Little Sister Bai, this is Little Heizi. He’s an Exotic Beast our husband is raising! He’s really powerful!"

’An Exotic Beast?’

Bai Zhixi stared at Little Heizi, unable to identify its species for a moment.

’How strange.’

"Husband, what species of Exotic Beast is this?"

Bai Zhixi asked.

Just then,

a deputy came over.

He arrived just in time to hear Bai Zhixi’s sweet, delicate cry of "Husband."

His eyes widened in an instant, and he felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

’Since when does the City Lord speak in such a tone?’

’And to a man, no less!’

’It seems City Lord Ye truly conquered her last night!’

Bai Zhixi noticed the deputy, and her face flushed crimson.

’It’s over, it’s over! He heard me! My carefully crafted image, built up over all these years, is ruined...!’

"What is it?" Ye Yunyi asked, seeing the deputy approach.

"City Lord, there’s an urgent matter! A message from another barrier!"
