I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

19: Section 19Naturally, he needed to demonstrate his value.

”Your Luck is not bad; to think you could still have an Acquired Awakening of the Primordial Yang Sacred Body. That Xiao Moran, it is only fitting that she be yours...”

The Empress withdrew her hand.

With this single, understated sentence, she had already made it clear that she would no longer pursue the matter of Cao Yang forcibly seizing Xiao Moran.

A Primordial Yang Sacred Body who was loyal to her was, needless to say, clearly of greater value than a Great Yin Dao Body that had yet to be subdued.

As for Cao Yang’s cultivation level.

To think that in just a few short days, he had leapt from the Acquired Realm to the Martial Ancestor Realm?

If this were anyone else, it would naturally arouse suspicion.

But Cao Yang had undergone an Acquired Awakening of the Primordial Yang Sacred Body.

Afterward, he had first obtained a Mysterious Yin Body as a Cauldron, and then taken in a Great Yin Dao Body to Cultivate.

If his cultivation still couldn’t reach a Breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm, that would actually be the abnormal thing.

Therefore.

Wu Mingyue did not think too much of it.

However, the fact that Cao Yang had not only stepped into the Martial Ancestor Realm but had also reached the Peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm inevitably made her value him a bit more.

Could it be that this kid actually has some talent for the martial Dao?

”Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty.”

Cao Yang hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Now.

With the Empress endorsing it, Xiao Moran was rightfully his.

Hehehe!

Being a Villain’s lackey isn’t so bad after all!

”Don’t be so quick to celebrate.”

The Empress cast a cold glance at him: ”I even sent Wen Yu to assist you; why have you still not captured a mere Ye Chen?”

”Your Majesty, this subject has concerns.”

Cao Yang said with his head bowed.

”Speak.”

The Empress narrowed her eyes.

”Your Majesty, that Ye Chen has been apprenticed to a hidden major sect since he was young and has a Martial Venerable Realm Revered Master behind him. This subject is worried that if I capture Ye Chen, it might displease that Martial Venerable Realm expert...”

Cao Yang explained.

”A Martial Venerable Realm expert?”

The Empress’s expression turned unpleasant: ”With me backing you, what is there to fear?”

Cao Yang was waiting for exactly these words and immediately flattered her: ”With Your Majesty’s divine might, a mere Martial Venerable is naturally nothing to worry about. This subject will certainly capture him with ease!”

...

Leaving the Imperial Study.

Exiting the palace.

Cao Yang was calculating how to deal with Ye Chen—or rather, primarily that aloof Revered Master of his.

Ye Chen was no longer anything to fear.

”Marquis Cao!”

Just then.

He ran into a middle-aged man wearing deep crimson official robes.

Censor-in-Chief Xiao Zhengming?

Judging by his appearance.

He had clearly been waiting here for him.

Cao Yang smiled slightly: ”Lord Xiao, how have you been?”

Xiao Zhengming’s mouth twitched.

Logically speaking, this kid had taken his daughter as a concubine, so he should count as half a father-in-law, right?

But looking at the playful expression on the other man’s face.

Why did it feel like he was the father-in-law?

How infuriating!

Xiao Zhengming felt resentful in his heart.

But on the surface.

He wore a fawning expression: ”Marquis, thank you for the matter regarding Ye Chen. If it weren’t for your keen insight, I fear I would have been ruined this time...”

At the mere mention of this.

Xiao Zhengming couldn’t help but look indignant!

That Ye Chen was absolutely hateful. Mo Ran had kindly taken him in, but who would have thought he would repay kindness with ingratitude, nearly dragging his entire Xiao Family down with him!

”In the future, if you have any commands, I will certainly not refuse!”

Anyway, Xiao Zhengming had seen the situation clearly now.

The Empress’s power was great and unstoppable!

And Cao Yang alone enjoyed the Empress’s favor, ranking below one person but above ten thousand.

Adhering to the principle of ”if you can’t beat them, join them.”

He immediately and without hesitation chose to join the Empress’s faction and pledge allegiance to Cao Yang!

Thinking this way.

He actually felt that this incident wasn’t a bad thing.

Perhaps.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a blessing in disguise.

【Ding! Detected that the original destiny Protagonist Ye Chen’s follower, Censor-in-Chief Xiao Zhengming, has now abandoned darkness for light and pledged allegiance to the Host. The Host gains 20000 villain points!】

”Lord Xiao certainly has good awareness...”

Cao Yang smiled.

This Censor-in-Chief Xiao Zhengming.

He was quite the sensible character.

It seems the scholarly integrity of the Censorate wasn’t that unyielding after all, was it?

...

PS: New book, asking for flowers! Asking for evaluation votes!

Chapter 12: The Fairy Revered Master with a Natural Dao Heart!

”Dan Ruyan, this aloof Revered Master of Ye Chen, besides being a Martial Venerable Realm expert...”

”She is also a natural Dao Heart!”

On the way back to his estate.

Cao Yang sat inside his sedan chair, gently rubbing his temples.

He recalled the descriptions of Ye Chen’s Revered Master in the original novel.

A natural Dao Heart?

Thinking of the Dao Heart Seed Demon Cultivation Technique rewarded by the System yesterday, Cao Yang couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Isn’t this just a natural Dao Heart Cauldron meant for cultivating the Dao Heart Seed Demon Cultivation Technique!

”Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, I am truly sorry.”

”This Marquis wants to progress, so I can only step on you to climb higher...”
