Chapter 1832: Beauties Lend Their Support

"There's one more thing, the Prince directly ordered me," the messenger continued, pulling a jade token from his chest.

"Princess He Lian Xiu will meet the various heroes gathering for the martial contest marriage tomorrow night at the Flying Crane Tower; this is your credential to participate in the contest marriage!"

"What? Contest marriage? I didn't even sign up, how did I get a credential?" Ye Liuyun asked, somewhat puzzled.

The messenger, a bit embarrassed, said, "Well... the Prince had me register you, insisting you must go. He says it's for your own good!"

Ye Liuyun was left stunned. The messenger simply thrust the jade token into Ye Liuyun's hand and walked away.

"Hey..." Ye Liuyun called out, but he gave no response.

Then Ye Liuyun glanced at Xuan Yuan Ling and, instinctively, asked, "What does this mean?"

Xuan Yuan Ling immediately understood, his voice angry, "Do I need to explain? The King of Western Liang has taken a liking to you and wants you as his son‑in‑law! He even sent the messenger here to keep me away from you, so you won't jeopardize your future!"

Having said that, Xuan Yuan Ling turned and went straight upstairs.

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun was even more bewildered.

He thought to himself, "Does the Western Liang King actually know me? Why would he want me as his son‑in‑law?"

Steward Liao, unwilling to get involved, bowed to Ye Liuyun and returned to his duties.

Ye Liuyun couldn't stay, so he promptly returned to the camp, while a duplicate in the Space World called for help from Hua Xiangyuan and Man Shu.

"Seeing how quickly the Western Liang King promotes and relies on you, he's definitely aiming to make you his son‑in‑law!" Hua Xiangyuan guessed.

She added, "That's a good thing! He Lian Xiu is also recognized as one of the four great beauties! If you marry her, and then also take me, Xiao Yunfang, and Xuan Yuan Ling, you'd have the four beauties of Royal City!"

"Hehe, you really don't mind the spectacle getting big!" Ye Liuyun suddenly thought that Hua Xiangyuan was a bit like Lei Ming.

If he asked Lei Ming, Lei Ming would certainly say the same.

Man Shu could only comfort him, offering no real advice.

With no other choice, Ye Liuyun went to find Xiao Yunfang.

"I never expected the Prince to promote you!" Xiao Yunfang said, feeling very dejected.

She already thought Ye Liuyun far outclassed her, and now the Prince favored him—what could she possibly contest?

Xiao Yunfang glanced at Ye Liuyun, still unwilling to see him taken by the little princess.

Finally, mustering courage, she told Ye Liuyun, "It's fine; as long as the princess doesn't like you, the problem shouldn't be big. I'll go with you tomorrow night. She thinks that if you have a woman, she won't consider you any more!"

"Hmm, maybe this will work; then let's give it a try!"

Ye Liuyun didn't think further, set the time at once, and headed back.

In his haste, he overlooked that Xiao Yunfang actually has less worldly experience than him and was oversimplifying the matter.

Ye Liuyun returned inside the Xuan Kong Shi and felt that mishandling this could cause a fallout with the Western Liang King.

So he began preparations, leading everyone to start breaking through their realms.

His energy crystal spheres and crystal stones are abundant, and his realm has already risen to the Triple Peak state, making breakthroughs very easy.

Lei Ming and the others were the same; that night they all advanced to the early stage of the Fourth Tier.

Afterwards, they all entered the Space World to spar a bit, familiarizing themselves with the early Fourth Tier power.

At this point, Ye Liuyun noticed that Hua Xiangyuan's sister had already completed her transformation and had broken through to the early stage of the Triple Tier.

"My sister, Hua Xiangfen!" Hua Xiangyuan introduced her to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for avenging me and letting me take human form!" Hua Xiangfen had met Ye Liuyun before, so she wasn't shy.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "You don't need to thank me; thank your sister! You have a great sister!"

Hua Xiangyuan seized the chance, "Young Master Ye, I want my sister and I to stay in your Space World a while longer. Both of us are relatively weak in combat, and venturing out would be dangerous. I think..."

"No problem, stay as long as you wish!" Ye Liuyun agreed before she finished speaking.

Hua Xiangyuan had constantly worried Ye Liuyun would drive them away, but seeing his generosity made her happy.

She immediately produced some realm‑shaping crystal stones and Divine Crystals, saying to Ye Liuyun, "The six‑month rent has long expired. I know you don't need that little rent now, but what we owe..."

"Ha ha!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Keep them! You two are training together now, so consumption is high! I'm not short on resources. When I truly need resources, I'll ask you then!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected Hua Xiangyuan to be so earnest.

His Space World now runs smoothly; adding a few more cultivators hardly affects it and won't drain the Qi.

On the contrary, the underground Divine Crystal Veins and Primordial Power have begun generating energy, entering a virtuous cycle.

"Alright then, if Young Master Ye needs anything from us sisters, just ask!" Hua Xiangyuan said without hesitation.

Ye Liuyun nodded, adding, "In the future, when you have a chance, go capture some ferocious beasts to enrich this space! It'll also keep you from getting bored here."

"I can help plant medicinal herbs!" Hua Xiangfen, seeing Ye Liuyun not taking their money and not wanting to profit unfairly, offered to assist.

"Sure! Just don't let it hinder your own cultivation; if you have time and want to plant, go ahead!" Ye Liuyun agreed.

He immediately granted them access rights to the herb‑planting area, thinking it was fine if they ate some herbs, as long as they didn't deliberately damage the garden.

Moreover, the two sisters didn't seem like the troublesome type, so he felt at ease.

Seeing Ye Liuyun trust them more, Hua Xiangyuan comfortably stayed.

Ye Liuyun returned to consolidate his realm; that night at the appointed time, without even changing clothes, he went straight to Xiao Yunfang, and the two rushed to the Flying Crane Tower.

Xiao Yunfang had deliberately put on a red dress, which made Ye Liuyun's eyes light up.

"I didn't expect you had such a feminine side!" Ye Liuyun praised.

"Hmph, there are many things you don't anticipate!" Xiao Yunfang, seeing Ye Liuyun's admiring look, felt very pleased.

"You're just going like that?" Xiao Yunfang asked.

"Otherwise? Do you think I'd even dress up specially?" Ye Liuyun said indifferently, lifted his leg and walked out; Xiao Yunfang could only follow him, leaving the camp together.

Along the way, many soldiers who saw Xiao Yunfang were utterly shocked.

It was her first time publicly appearing in such feminine attire; she had only secretly tried it in her room before, never seen by anyone.

This time, she wasn't just helping Ye Liuyun; she also wanted him to see her beautiful side.
