Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

A long while later, the amorous air in the room finally dissipated.

Ye Wushuang’s passion had also cooled considerably. Gazing at the beauty in his arms, he asked with some confusion, ”How did you become the Workshop Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop?”

”I didn’t know that Blood Feather Tower had this enterprise either. I only found out when my father told me to come here.”

Mengyun Wulei slowly recounted the events that transpired after she left Nanyang City.

Apparently, not long after Ye Wushuang had left, Mengyun Pojun had brought Mengyun Wulei to the Holy City, where she took over the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop had been founded by the Slaying Monarch Ancestor, Mengyun Qingchen, and had always been managed by Mengyun Pojun.

Later, he used the financial power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop to establish Blood Feather Tower.

Moreover, Ye Wushuang also learned from Mengyun Wulei that the Slaying Monarch Ancestor—the one who had once attempted to assassinate a Saint Sage—was, to his surprise, still alive and well!

”You’re saying the Slaying Monarch Ancestor is still alive?”

Ye Wushuang asked. ’If he’s alive, doesn’t that mean that old bastard arranged everything? He didn’t just screw me over, he screwed over Mengyun Wulei too!’

”That’s what I heard from my father later as well. But he’s gone to the Celestial Dome.”

Mengyun Wulei replied.

”So that’s how it is.” Ye Wushuang nodded.

”Oh, right. Can I ask you a question?”

Mengyun Wulei looked up, her face completely free of its usual iciness.

”What is it?” Ye Wushuang asked.

”What is your relationship with Lan Xinyu? And what about Taoo Hua Fairy? Just how many women have you had in the past?”

Mengyun Wulei’s eyes bored into Ye Wushuang as she interrogated him, causing his face to darken. He broke into a cold sweat. ’And she calls that *one* question?’

”They’re all my friends!”

Ye Wushuang knew she was getting jealous. He figured any attempt to explain would only make things worse, so he just gave a vague answer.

He quickly changed the subject. ”Right, you’re the Celestial Workshop Master. I need you to do me a favor!”

Mengyun Wulei was very clever. She knew Ye Wushuang was changing the subject on purpose, but she was tactful enough not to press him, merely shooting him a fierce glare.

She asked irritably, ”You’re looking for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins?”

”Mhm!”

Ye Wushuang nodded. Even though he’d already obtained sixty-eight Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy his needs.

”These were prepared for you!”

With that, Mengyun Wulei took out thirty Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins and handed them to Ye Wushuang. ”I’ve only managed to gather thirty for now,” she said. ”I’ll get some more after a while.”

At this, Ye Wushuang stared at Mengyun Wulei with a burning gaze.

Mengyun Wulei’s heart trembled, truly worried that Ye Wushuang was about to wear her out again!

She hurriedly scrambled away, limping over to the side. ”Don’t get the wrong idea,” she said. ”This wasn’t my idea; it was the Ancestor’s. He was planning to give the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop to you, but since you have your own business to attend to, he had me take charge of it for the time being.”

As Mengyun Wulei spoke, Ye Wushuang looked completely surprised. ’Mengyun Qingchen is giving the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop to me?’

”Furthermore, you can directly command the resources of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop from now on.”

Mengyun Wulei continued.

”Is that really allowed?”

Ye Wushuang stared at Mengyun Wulei.

But Mengyun Wulei just glared back at him, thinking, ’You already have all of me, what more could you possibly want?’

”Right, what do you need so many Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins for?”

A sudden thought occurred to Mengyun Wulei, prompting her question.

”You’ll find out in due time.”

Ye Wushuang didn’t explain, saying instead, ”Don’t worry about the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins for now. Help me gather information on Lingxiao Pavilion first. If you find any of their people, have them contact me.”

”Mhm!”

Mengyun Wulei nodded.

”I’ll take my leave, then.”

Having settled matters, Ye Wushuang turned and left the room.

Mengyun Wulei watched Ye Wushuang’s back as he left. Recalling his earlier ravaging, she cursed him under her breath. ’My lower body still aches!’

But even as she cursed him, a shy, amorous blush crept onto her usually frosty face. When she recalled that exquisite sensation, her eyes grew hazy and distant.

Downstairs, Lan Xinyu and the other two were waiting, their faces showing their anxiety. Ye Wushuang had been up there for a long time and still hadn’t come back down.

Just as they were about to go up to the second floor, Ye Wushuang appeared, walking down the stairs.

”Young Master Ye!”

Lan Xinyu stepped forward.

”It’s all sorted. Let’s go.” Ye Wushuang gave the three of them a relaxed smile and started walking toward the exit.

The four of them had just stepped out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop when a graceful figure in red approached him.

It was the Taoo Hua Fairy.

”Young Master Ye!”

The Taoo Hua Fairy smiled as she walked up to Ye Wushuang, offering a slight bow with graceful poise.

”Is there something you need, Taoo Hua Fairy?”

Ye Wushuang halted his steps.

”Must I have a reason to come looking for you, Young Master Ye?” the Taoo Hua Fairy replied with a faint smile.

”And yet, you don’t look like you’re here for no reason, Taoo Hua Fairy.”

Ye Wushuang stared at the Fairy. ”Please, tell me what it is,” he said. ”If it’s within my power to help, I certainly will.”

Ye Wushuang hadn’t forgotten that he had promised to grant the Taoo Hua Fairy one request. A man keeps his promises, so as long as it was within his power, he would help.

”It’s nothing major. I was simply hoping to borrow your Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique for a look, Young Master Ye. Would that be possible?”

The Taoo Hua Fairy no longer beat around the bush.

”Does this count as your request?” Ye Wushuang asked.

”If I said it wasn’t, would you refuse to lend it to me?” the Taoo Hua Fairy retorted.

”Of course!” Ye Wushuang made no pretense of being a noble gentleman.

”How petty you are, Young Master Ye!” Hearing his reply, the Taoo Hua Fairy’s tone changed, becoming suddenly plaintive.

Ye Wushuang remained silent. ’I’ve already given the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique to Lan Xinyu. How can I give it to the Taoo Hua Fairy as well?’

”Young Master Ye, how about we make a trade?”

After a moment, the Taoo Hua Fairy’s plaintive expression vanished.

”I’m listening.” Ye Wushuang couldn’t guess what this woman was thinking, so he decided to hear her out and see what she was planning.

”As you know, Young Master Ye, the complete Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is a Supreme Sacred Secret. It is divided into several parts, and only by cultivating all of them can one form the Five Spirit Profound Heart Saint Mother True Body. You possess one part. While you can practice it, you will never be able to form the Saint Mother True Body,”

the Taoo Hua Fairy explained.

Ye Wushuang listened quietly, his gaze hardening. ”Are you saying,” he asked, ”that you possess other parts of the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique!”

The Taoo Hua Fairy nodded.

Hearing this, his three companions were stunned. If the Taoo Hua Fairy had other parts of the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique, then combined with the one from the auction, she would possess a complete Supreme Sacred Secret.

”Then why didn’t you bid on it earlier?”

Ye Wushuang narrowed his eyes, his mind filled with curiosity and doubt.

”Since you already won it, Young Master Ye, there was no need for me to compete. I trust you will let me see it,” the Taoo Hua Fairy said with a faint smile.

”What makes you so confident?” Ye Wushuang said.

”Of course. The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is more than just a Supreme Sacred Secret. Its cultivation method is also highly unusual—it requires five women to cultivate it successfully!”

The Taoo Hua Fairy slowly revealed this fact.

She then added, ”Furthermore, I hold the Core Principles of the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique. Without them, even if you cultivate the other parts, your achievements will be limited. So...”

”So, you were certain that my portion would be of little use to me, and that I would inevitably hand it over to you.”

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly realized just how calculating this woman was.

”You misunderstand, Young Master Ye. While I do wish to obtain your portion, I am also willing to hand over the parts I possess to you. The only condition, of course, is that you agree to two more of my requests.”

The Taoo Hua Fairy knew she had earned Ye Wushuang’s displeasure. She smiled faintly and said, ”Besides, you’ve already agreed to one of my requests, Young Master Ye. What’s the harm in agreeing to two more?”

”How very calculating of you, Taoo Hua Fairy!” Ye Wushuang sneered.

”To receive such a compliment from you, Young Master Ye, leaves me with no regrets in this life.”

The Taoo Hua Fairy gave another slight bow, pretending not to understand the sarcasm in his words.

”Fine. Two requests. I agree.” Ye Wushuang thought for a moment before replying. ’If I get the complete Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique, I can give it to Ye Rou and Yangg Qing’er to cultivate!’
