Chapter 73: Settling Down with the Girls

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Settling Down with the Girls

Of course, the ladies of the Hundred Flowers Alliance up ahead couldn’t hear their silent screams.

They simply followed Ye Yunyi onward.

Of course, even if they had heard those silent screams, the Hundred Flowers Alliance wouldn’t have reacted at all.

’After all, who even are you?’

After they went outside, Ye Yunyi and Yin Weimeng led the way.

Yin Weimeng looked at the forest. Even she wouldn’t dare to cross it so openly.

’It’s too dangerous!’

Although she had reached the Mid-Golden Stage, it wasn’t nearly enough in this post-apocalyptic world.

But now that Ye Yunyi was here, she felt much bolder.

’If the sky falls, Lord Ye will be there to hold it up, won’t he?’

The next moment, a shrill cry suddenly rang out from the sky!

Then, a massive shadow fell over the group.

The women of the Hundred Flowers Alliance all looked up at the sky.

Every one of them gasped, their eyes wide with disbelief at what they were seeing.

This was...!

A Qingling Roc!

It was enormous!

From below, it was so vast it blotted out the sun!

They had already sensed the immensity of this Exotic Beast when Ye Yunyi rode it over from a distance.

But now, with it looming right over their heads, they could truly appreciate just how massive the Exotic Beast was.

After that single, piercing cry, a flurry of rustling sounds erupted from the surrounding jungle.

It was the sound of Exotic Beasts scattering in all directions!

The Qingling Roc was unleashing its oppressive aura from the sky!

It drove away all the Exotic Beasts in their vicinity.

The ladies of the Hundred Flowers Alliance let out a collective sigh of relief.

The tension in their bodies vanished in an instant.

The sense of security was overwhelming!

It was safe to say that following Lord Ye through the jungle felt even more secure than being inside their previous barrier.

Many of the women glanced at Ye Yunyi, their eyes shimmering with admiration.

Thus began the long journey.

Ye Yunyi remained at the front, chatting and laughing with Yin Weimeng, Dongfang Ruoyu, and the others.

The mood was cheerful.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Cyan Cloud Barrier.

The members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance gazed at the Cyan Cloud Barrier.

Whoa!

It was so much better than the Yingtian Barrier!

Just looking at the outer walls, they were clearly thicker than those of the Yingtian Barrier.

Taller!

And more magnificent!

The Mutants at the gate saw Ye Yunyi and instantly cleared a path.

They certainly recognized this Lord Ye!

"Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye!"

...

A crowd of Mutants stood on both sides, watching Ye Yunyi’s party pass.

Ye Yunyi, at the head of the group, nodded to the Mutants greeting him from either side.

The women following him watched the scene unfold.

’Lord Ye has this much influence even in a major barrier like this?’

’Incredible!’

’It’s just unbelievable!’

’Do these Mutants have to form a welcoming party just at the sight of him?!’

A short while later, they arrived in front of the estate.

"Take a look. You can all settle in here," Ye Yunyi said, gesturing to Yin Weimeng.

Yin Weimeng saw that the place was even larger than their previous territory and immediately nodded.

Ye Yunyi then told them to go and get themselves settled.

He, in turn, led Dongfang Ruoyu and her companions into the estate.

Next, he took out the thousand Mutant Plants.

He found a large room, and once inside, Ye Yunyi began to sort through the plants.

’I can still refine a good amount of medicine with these!’

Ye Yunyi thought that he could go check out the Poison Barrier tomorrow. He wasn’t sure if the Antidote Medicine he’d concocted would be enough to let him venture deep inside.

After all, the Antitoxic Pills he refined weren’t particularly High Level.

However, it should be enough to explore the periphery.

But entering the deepest parts was likely impossible.

’But it’s not a big deal!’

’If worst comes to worst, I’ll just use a Divine-level Antitoxic Pill!’

With that thought, Ye Yunyi made up his mind.

After he finished sorting the Mutant Plants, Ye Yunyi carried out a bundle of Low-Level Mutant Flowers.

Dongfang Ruoyu saw him.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"Doesn’t your Hundred Flowers Alliance primarily rely on Mutant Flowers to increase their strength? These aren’t very useful to me, so they can have them," Ye Yunyi said as he led Dongfang Ruoyu outside.

Once they were outside, Ye Yunyi put down the Mutant Plants and explained the situation.

Yin Weimeng thanked him profusely.

"Alright, no need to thank me. I’m getting married tonight, so just come and join the banquet."

His words left Yin Weimeng stunned.

A wedding?!

’What a coincidence!’

’It’s my first time here, and I’ve already run into such a happy occasion?’

She immediately nodded. ’I’ll have to prepare a proper wedding gift!’

After all, Lord Ye had helped them so much.

Naturally, they had to show their gratitude in return!

With that, she went to start the preparations!

「That evening.」

The estate was brightly decorated with lanterns and colored streamers.

Many of the Patriarchs had arrived as well.

All of them bearing wedding gifts!

But compared to their high spirits on the first day and their calm expressions on the second, today, they looked positively ashen-faced.

They stared at the gifts in their hands, their faces filled with reluctance.

’There goes another one!’

’Good grief.’

’Lord Ye!’

’He’s just too ruthless!’

’Is he really going to be the groom every single night?!’

’Huh?!’

’How are we supposed to endure this?’

’This whole spectacle, day after day!’

’Giving away so many gifts every day!’

’How are we supposed to live?!’

’Huh?!’

In that moment, every Patriarch was roaring with silent fury.

But not a single one of them dared to let it show.

’Do they have a death wish?!’

’Do they think their necks are tougher than Zhao Kang’s?’

Meanwhile, the gift reception party had grown from just Bai Zhixi to Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu.

Yin Weimeng felt a sense of helplessness as she looked at the mountain of gifts.

Compared to what these Patriarchs brought, her gift seemed somewhat inadequate.

Still, it was the most precious treasure she could offer as a wedding gift.

At that moment, a voice drifted over from nearby.

"Go sit inside." Yin Weimeng and the others from the Hundred Flowers Alliance heard the words.

They turned to look.

And there was Ye Yunyi, leading a high-ranking member of the Hundred Flowers Alliance over to where Zhou Huaiwei and the others were sitting.

He then had her take a seat with them.

In an instant, all of them were dumbfounded.

’What’s going on?!’

’Why?’

’He’s just... doing it like that!’

’Why did he just bring someone straight into the inner circle?’

Then, a bold idea surfaced in their minds.

’It couldn’t be...!’

’So fast!’

’That was incredibly fast!’

’Fortune favors the bold, but this is a little too bold, isn’t it?!’

In that moment, many of the women from the Hundred Flowers Alliance looked at their high-ranking sister, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Dongfang Ruoyu watched with a smile. "Senior Sister, tsk tsk. It looks like quite a few members of your Hundred Flowers Alliance admire my husband."

Yin Weimeng: "..."

She hadn’t expected this either.

’Things could actually happen like this?’

A while later, the grand banquet concluded.

Throughout the banquet, the women of the Hundred Flowers Alliance frequently glanced over at their high-ranking member. The treatment she received was worlds better than theirs. In the end, they all departed, lost in thought.

After returning, Ye Yunyi carried the girl directly into the innermost room of the estate.

Then, with a backward kick, he slammed the door shut.

No doubt, the next day would bring another clear and refreshing morning.
