Chapter 178: A Good Woman, Li Feihuang!

To be honest, Li Feihuang had been nervous earlier. She was afraid Ye Chen might refuse. Even more so, she feared that Ye Chen might leak the news to the outside world, exposing her whereabouts to the Great Chu Dynasty.

But what she hadn’t expected was that Ye Chen agreed so easily. Her father’s teachings about the ways of an emperor had been correct. Her honesty had won Ye Chen over, earning his genuine support. She truly had the bearing of an emperor. She was destined to become the first female emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Being trusted like this also moved the now-fallen Li Feihuang deeply, and she respectfully bowed to Ye Chen. “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye, for your help today! I was a bit petty earlier. When I become empress, I will certainly grant Fellow Daoist Ye the title of the first foreign king of the Great Chu.”

Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. A Golden Dragon Marquis turning into a Golden Dragon King? No way!

He immediately shook his head. “Fellow Daoist, your ambitions are lofty, and your vision is broad. As for me, Ye Chen, I am not one to care for such petty rewards, nor am I someone who seeks small benefits. Please, don’t bring up titles again. If you bring it up once more, it would be as if you are looking down on me, Ye Chen. If that happens, I will have to withdraw the direct disciple qualification!”

Ye Chen spoke with a firm expression. Rejecting even the title of foreign king, his selfless support for her had already made Li Feihuang’s heart swell with emotion. This was the true loyalty of a subject. She would surely reward him greatly in the future.

Li Feihuang nodded seriously. “In that case, I will not mention it again. Fellow Daoist Ye’s support, I, Li Feihuang, will never forget.”

Ye Chen smiled, satisfied with the outcome.

Li Feihuang, having received Ye Chen’s promise, finally relaxed. She didn’t want to appear too eager, afraid that Ye Chen might look down on her, so she suggested they handle the transfer of the qualification the next day.

However, what she didn’t expect was Ye Chen’s response. He seemed even more eager than she was, insisting that they deal with it right away. This only made Li Feihuang feel more impressed with Ye Chen.

When Elder Zhang arrived and used his Water Mirror technique to confirm with Ye Chen multiple times, ensuring that he truly agreed willingly, he was genuinely surprised. He hadn’t expected Li Feihuang to convince Ye Chen so easily. What had Li Feihuang promised Ye Chen, exactly?

But Elder Zhang didn’t pry further. He simply took Li Feihuang to the Divine Will Sect to handle the transfer, not wanting any delays. After they left, Ye Chen’s system prompt finally sounded in his mind.

“Gift successfully given!”

“The gift is the Divine Will Sect’s direct disciple qualification.”

“Processing feedback…”

“Three hundred times feedback in progress…”

“Detected that this gift is extremely important to the matched recipient, far exceeding their expectations, causing a massive shift in their mentality. Critical hit reward triggered!”

“Reward: Heavenly Evolution Holy Land Holy Son Token.”

“Holding this token will allow the bearer to become one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.”

Wait… It’s not the Divine Will Sect’s qualification but a position as a Holy Son in the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land?

Ye Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes as he looked at the token in the storage ring. The token was engraved with countless divine patterns and made from top-tier cloud gold. Even though Ye Chen had expected the three hundred times feedback with a critical hit, the quality of the reward far exceeded his expectations.

The last time Ye Chen came to Divine Will City, he had already gained a preliminary understanding of the terrifying power of the holy lands. The so-called holy lands were forces that had produced immortals.

They possessed immortal scriptures, ancestors who had reached the Unity stage, and were held in a position of extraordinary reverence in the cultivation world. Sects like the Divine Will Sect and the Great Chu Dynasty were nothing more than slightly larger ants in front of the holy lands.
