Chapter 447: Chapter 446: The Citizens of the Great Xia Empire Will Not Be Bullied

Ye Feng looked at Long Ao in surprise and asked, "Father-Emperor, you also know of The Arbiters’ existence?"

Long Ao nodded. "I know a thing or two about the world’s affairs. This group, The Arbiters, is far more terrifying than even the Underworld. You must be careful!"

Ye Feng looked at Long Ao and said with a smile, "I will. But don’t worry, Father-Emperor. I’ll announce my departure from the Great Xia Empire immediately. I will never bring disaster upon Great Xia..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The moment Ye Feng finished speaking, Long Ao exploded with rage. "In your eyes, am I, Long Ao, the kind of coward who chases profits and runs from danger?"

"Let me tell you, I am not! Don’t even mention that you’re my Imperial Son-in-Law. Even if you were an ordinary citizen, I, Long Ao, would never let you be bullied. Even if it means throwing the full might of the Great Xia Empire behind it, I will stand with you to face this!"

A sudden warmth filled Ye Feng’s heart as he looked at Long Ao. He quickly put on a placating smile and said:

"Father-Emperor, I was wrong. I apologize!"

Long Ao glared at Ye Feng. "You little rascal, if you ever dare say something like that again, I won’t forgive you!"

"Alright, alright! If I do it again, you can spank me!" Ye Feng said cheekily.

"You brat!" Seeing Ye Feng’s comical expression, Long Ao couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The next moment, his expression turned serious. "Imperial Son-in-Law, it’s not that the Great Xia Empire lacks more powerful experts, but that they live in seclusion. Have you heard of the four great hidden families?"

"The old patriarchs of the four great families are all supreme masters. Their skills are far superior to even the Dragon Guardian’s. If you can get them to help you, your own strength will increase immensely!"

Then, his expression darkened. "However, these four great hidden families live reclusively in the mountains and forests, and rarely involve themselves in worldly affairs." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"I once personally visited them to request their aid, but they all politely declined. So, getting their help will not be easy!"

Ye Feng looked at Long Ao, chuckled suddenly, and asked, "Father-Emperor, among the four great hidden families, is there one with the surname Ye?"

Long Ao nodded and said, "Correct. One of them is the Ye family. The old Patriarch of the Ye family, Ye Lingtian, has already entered the Dao Realm. His cultivation is unfathomably deep..."

The next moment, it suddenly dawned on him. He looked at Ye Feng, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Imperial Son-in-Law, could it be that you and the Ye family...?"

Ye Feng nodded with a smile. "Ye Lingtian is my grandfather!"

"Is that so? That makes things much easier! You must make a trip to the Ye family as soon as possible and seek their protection!" Long Ao said happily.

"Seeking protection is secondary. There are some things I need to go back to the Ye family to find answers for!" Ye Feng said with a nod. "Father-Emperor, there’s no time to lose. I’ll head to the Ye family right now..."

The moment Ye Feng finished speaking, an excited voice cried out from the entrance: "Imperial Son-in-Law!"

Ye Feng turned to see a girl standing at the entrance of the main hall, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at him.

It was Long Xi’Er!

The next moment, she rushed toward Ye Feng, not noticing the several corpses on the floor, and nearly tripped and fell.

Ye Feng dashed forward in a single bound and swept Long Xi’Er into his arms.

Long Xi’Er hugged Ye Feng tightly, a happy smile on her face, but the next moment, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Such a grown-up, still crying like a baby. Aren’t you ashamed!" Ye Feng said with a smile, patting Long Xi’Er’s fragrant shoulder.

Long Xi’Er snapped back to her senses. She quickly straightened up, her pretty face flushing crimson. "It’s all your fault!"

Behind them, Long Ao burst into laughter. "Alright, don’t waste your time here with me. You two haven’t seen each other in so long, go and have a proper reunion!"

Ye Feng looked troubled. "Um, Father-Emperor, I still have important matters to attend to..."

Hearing this, Long Ao’s face immediately darkened. "You haven’t seen the princess in so long, and you want to leave the moment you see her? If you dare to walk out of here today, I’ll break your legs!"

Ye Feng was about to speak, but then he saw Long Xi’Er’s eyes, which had already turned red. His heart softened in an instant. He looked at Long Ao and said, "However, I feel that no matter is more important than reuniting with the princess. Therefore, I’m not leaving!"

With that, he put his arm around Long Xi’Er and said with a grin, "Princess, I’m hungry. Let’s go get something to eat!"

Long Xi’Er clearly understood Ye Feng’s suggestive tone, and her pretty face instantly flushed crimson.

’This rascal, and with so many people around!’

The two arrived at the Princess’s Mansion. As soon as the door closed, Long Xi’Er threw her arms around Ye Feng, pressing her pretty face against his chest. Her tears quickly soaked the front of his shirt.

She was a princess, but more than that, she was a woman. She knew that Ye Feng had been risking his life. Every day, she had prayed in secret for his safe return. Now that he was finally back, how could she not be happy, how could she not be moved? She murmured, "You’re finally back... you’re finally back!"

Ye Feng looked at Long Xi’Er and said with a serious expression, "Yes, I’m back. Shouldn’t we get started?"

"Get started on what?" Long Xi’Er didn’t understand at first.

Ye Feng giggled, and his roving hand slipped directly into Long Xi’Er’s collar. He said with a wicked smile, "I’m hungry."

Long Xi’Er finally understood. Annoyed and embarrassed, she slapped his hand away. "Is this the only reason you wanted to see me?" she said, blushing.

The next moment, her pretty face turned cold. "Right, don’t you have important business to attend to? Go on, then. Go!"

"Alright, as you command." Ye Feng said in a formal tone, then turned and started to leave.

"Ye Feng, you bastard!" Long Xi’Er was furious.

Ye Feng couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. "You silly girl. With a great beauty like you here, how could I bear to leave? I was just teasing you!"

With that, he swept Long Xi’Er up by the waist and carried her toward the bedroom. Once there, he laid her on the bed, leaned over her, and pressed his lips directly onto hers.

Long Xi’Er’s body suddenly stiffened, but she quickly relaxed. She shyly closed her eyes, and her arms slowly wrapped around Ye Feng...
