On this day, not only did Chen Xin stay indoors, but Fu Ye and Ah Yin also remained inside.
Fu Ye, who had preserved his chastity for nearly eighteen years, finally gave his first time… to a blade of grass.
"That's incredible~~" he sighed.
As evening fell, Fu Ye and Ah Yin were still entangled in passion. Ah Yin lay weakly before him, her delicate face flushed.
Truthfully, she didn't understand much about human love. She only knew that Fu Ye was handsome, and his aura held an irresistible allure for her.
Moreover, Fu Ye was powerful—strong enough to give her a sense of security. That was why she adored him.
Late into the night, she curled up in Fu Ye's arms and drifted into slumber, her heart brimming with indescribable satisfaction.
At this moment, it was as if she lay beside a warm furnace. Everything she had endured as a spirit beast seemed like a distant memory after meeting Fu Ye.
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully achieved 100% favorability with Ah Yin. Favorability has been permanently locked.]
Morning arrived, and Fu Ye finally understood the saying, "A king neglects his court when lost in love." With the soft fragrance of Ah Yin in his embrace, he had no desire to do anything else.
After a moment of contemplation, he opened the system's store.

After browsing, Fu Ye decided the God-Grade Kidney Tonic was an excellent find—not only did it boost his stamina, but it also had a chance to increase his size. Not that he needed it, of course. After all, Ah Yin had already experienced his prowess for an entire day yesterday, and her body still trembled slightly from the exertion.
"Ah well, might as well drink one to recharge." Without hesitation, Fu Ye purchased it.
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired God-Grade Kidney Tonic x1.]
Gulp, gulp.
The moment the tonic slid down his throat, Fu Ye felt his body surge with renewed energy. However, given Ah Yin's current state, she wouldn't be able to keep up with him. He decided to let her rest a while longer.
Rising from the bed, he dressed himself.
Ah Yin was still deep in slumber—after all, yesterday had been her first time. She needed ample rest to recover.
Glancing back at the system's store, Fu Ye immediately purchased an Ultimate Douluo Puppet.
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired Level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet x1.]
Clang!
With a thought from Fu Ye, a figure clad in black armor materialized before him.
Boom!
The puppet dropped to one knee.
"Master!"
The voice was stiff and mechanical, but Fu Ye shrugged it off—these puppets had no consciousness, after all.
"Guard the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. Ensure she comes to no harm."
The black-armored figure dissolved into Ah Yin's shadow. Even with Fu Ye's heightened perception, he couldn't detect its presence—only the system's beacon allowed him to sense its location.
This provided Ah Yin with both protection and a tracking system.
Still, Fu Ye wasn't entirely at ease. What if Chen Xin and Tang Chen teamed up to target Ah Yin? He had to be prepared!
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired Level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet x9.]
"Master!" "Master!" "Master!"
Nine armored figures knelt before him in unison.
A satisfied smile crossed Fu Ye's lips.
"Your duty is to protect the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. Ensure no harm befalls her under any circumstances."
"Yes, Master!" "Yes, Master!"
As the nine shadows merged into Ah Yin's own, Fu Ye finally relaxed.
If she weren't his woman, he wouldn't care so much. But Ah Yin belonged to him now—her safety was non-negotiable.
He had no intention of returning to the Spirit Hall just yet. After all, he'd been missing for over half a year, and not a single soul had raised an alarm. That place had disappointed him.
"And it's all Yu Xiaogang's fault."
He would visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan eventually—but not now. As for the Clear Sky Sect…
'Heh. Just like Yu Xiaogang, they'll get what's coming.'
However, one thing puzzled him—his senior sister, Bibi Dong's favorability toward him kept rising inexplicably.
Previously, it was 75, then 80 the next day. Now, it had climbed to 89, inching dangerously close to 90.
Fu Ye didn't understand. He'd barely interacted with her—why the sudden surge?
…
Meanwhile—Spirit Hall, Pope's Chambers, Interrogation Room
Whish!
Crack!
Bibi Dong gripped a steel whip, her dark brown eyes gleaming like a viper's as she stared down at the bloodied, flayed figures of several Spirit Hall officials strapped to iron racks.
"Aghh! Please, Saintess—have mercy!"
"I swear, I don't know anything!"
"This has nothing to do with me! Spare me, Saintess!"
Their pleas fell on deaf ears. Bibi Dong hadn't spoken a word since the torture began—she wanted these traitors to confess on their own.
"You can keep playing the victim, screaming like animals… or you can tell me, by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, who bribed you to cover up Fu Ye's disappearance."
Bibi Dong was no fool. From the documents Qian Xunji had provided, she could guess who had orchestrated Fu Ye's imprisonment and supposed death. But she needed irrefutable proof—especially since the culprit's father was Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Killing the perpetrator would be easy, but the clan would retaliate. So, she had to wrench the truth from these worms' mouths.
As for the other bribed Spirit Hall members?
'Every last one of them would join Fu Ye in the grave.'
A cold smirk curled her lips.
"Yu Xiaogang… Oh, Yu Xiaogang. Pray you never fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll make sure you learn what it means to linger between life and death."
With that, she strode out of the interrogation chamber, sparing a final icy command to the guards:
"Douse them with concentrated salt water and acid every fifteen minutes. If I find you've slacked off… you'll be joining them."
