"Yes!" Zi Han's eyes lit up. "My daughter has the bloodline of a qilin. Her appearance is bound to stir a commotion, and that kid surely knows the situation."

"Mm." Qing Ge replied.

Qing Ge had known Zi Han for too long. They were friends from long ago and naturally knew she had a daughter.

Moreover, Zi Han dearly loved her daughter and was willing to give up everything for her.

"My daughter attracts attention, and so does Baihua Palace!" Zi Han said. "You've always been concerned about Baihua Palace. This time you can ask whether Baihua Palace has declined."

"Let's go find that kid and ask him in person." Qing Ge suggested.

"Alright."

…

Ye Chen was outside the cave, setting up a bonfire, busy roasting a beast leg with great enthusiasm.

Soon the beast leg was cooked, turning golden and shining, emitting a unique aroma that could intoxicate one's soul.

This was the meat of a Great Transcendent beast, with flesh comparable to Immortal Elixir, possessing endless magical uses.

Ye Chen looked at the beast leg, drooling. He had eaten birds from the sky, turtles from the sea, and even a goddess's... well, he had never tasted the flesh of a Transcendent beast.

This beast leg was comparable to Immortal Elixir. If Ye Chen swallowed it, it would be like an ordinary person consuming a thousand-year-old ginseng, immensely nourishing!

However, no matter how badly Ye Chen wanted it, he didn't dare to take a bite since he was now a servant and had to obey his master's orders.

"Outrageous!"

Ye Chen thought of that woman, and his heart was filled with anger. That woman was too wicked!

Ye Chen wanted to accompany her, but she didn't agree, and she even took advantage of his vulnerability to make him her servant.

Ye Chen couldn't defeat her, otherwise, he would have fallen out with her long ago.

However, Ye Chen was always one to repay grievances, and since that woman had wronged him, he was thinking about how to give her a lesson.

True, the Transcendent Realm is strong, but Ye Chen is no weakling either; his real combat power far surpasses his realm.

"Kid."

At this moment, Qing Ge and Zi Han walked out of the cave, their gaze fixed intensely on Ye Chen.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen's heart tightened. Had he been discovered?

These two women were domineering, forcibly making him their servant, which filled Ye Chen with hatred and a desire for revenge.

However, Ye Chen had always been submissive and hadn't shown any hatred, so they shouldn't have discovered anything, right?

"Don't be afraid, I have something to ask you." Zi Han saw Ye Chen was tense and thought he was afraid, so she comforted him.

"Uh." Ye Chen realized he had misunderstood.

"Do you know the Canglan Realm?" Zi Han asked.

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded.

The Canglan Realm was the first world of the universe; apart from the universe center developed by the Saint Sovereign, the Canglan Realm was the strongest.

Ye Chen rose in the Canglan Realm and knew it deeply, how could he not know?

However, Zi Han suddenly mentioning the Canglan Realm caused Ye Chen to speculate, could she be a being from the Canglan Realm?

"Then do you know about the qilin?" Zi Han seemed a bit nervous at this point.

"Qilin?" Ye Chen was shocked.

"Yes!" Zi Han continued. "The qilin is the king of mythical beasts, rare across all realms, but there's one in the Canglan Realm. Do you know it?"

"..."

How could Ye Chen not know the qilin in the Canglan Realm? He almost slept with her.

In fact, if it weren't for Ye Chen having too many wives, the young qilin would've already fallen into his arms.

"You know?" Zi Han's voice was urgent.

"Uh, I know." Ye Chen blinked, suddenly feeling guilty for some reason.

"Then quickly tell me about her." Zi Han said. "Tell me about her situation."

Zi Han was an ancient being and had given birth to only one daughter, whom she doted on immensely.

However, after entering the void battlefield, Zi Han lost her way and couldn't return, making her worry sick with fear of something happening to her daughter.

"She... she is fine."

The young qilin had achieved success in her cultivation, already possessing the body of a Great Saint.

Moreover, qilin as the king of mythical beasts, symbolizes auspiciousness, holiness, and peace, and she was already stationed in Heaven Court, becoming the chief of all mythical beasts across the realms.

However, Ye Chen didn't know the girl's identity, so he naturally didn't dare to say much.

"You surely know a lot. Spit it out, or I'll kill you!" Zi Han suddenly threatened fiercely.

Zi Han had been away for too long, and without her protection, her daughter was bound to be coveted by others.

The mere "she is fine" from Ye Chen made Zi Han start to suspect, perhaps... her daughter wasn't doing that well.

"No." Ye Chen said. "The qilin is my good friend. You two are too cruel. I'm afraid revealing too much would harm her."

In fact, concerning the girl's identity, Ye Chen had already guessed it. However, the guess was too terrifying, making Ye Chen uneasy and a bit reluctant to face it.

"How could I harm her?" Zi Han said with a trace of desolation.

"You and the young qilin are friends?" At this time, Qing Ge looked at Ye Chen, full of doubt.

"None of your concern." Ye Chen puckered with a baby-like anger.

"..."

"It seems to be true." Zi Han said. "This child is very loyal. For the sake of his friend's safety, he would rather be threatened by us than reveal those things."

Zi Han had always been kind and had never troubled Ye Chen.

Now, seeing Ye Chen standing up for the young qilin made her take a great liking to him, more pleasing to her with each glance.

"Knowing a man's face but not his heart, this kid is deceitful; he must be guarded against!" Qing Ge said.

Qing Ge had a different view from Zi Han since she felt Ye Chen was too cunning to be trusted.

Moreover, Ye Chen exuded an aura that inexplicably made her feel disturbed, warranting caution.

"May I ask a question?" Ye Chen suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm." Zi Han nodded.

"Who are you?" Ye Chen, already having some conjecture about Zi Han's identity, needed confirmation.

"My name is Zi Han." Zi Han replied. "The qilin girl you know is my own daughter."

Afraid Ye Chen wouldn't believe her, Zi Han deliberately released an aura, exuding purple energy full of harmony and nobility... This was the unique aura of a qilin.

"Junior Ye Chen, pays respects to Aunt."

Along with shock, Ye Chen directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Concerning Zi Han's identity, Ye Chen had long since predicted it,

but when she laid it bare, Ye Chen was still stunned.

The young qilin's mother is alive, and she's also in the Great Transcendent Realm, this...

Ye Chen knew why he felt guilty.

Because he hadn't ceased bullying the young qilin, and now that her mother was here, with unfathomable strength... how could Ye Chen not feel meek?

"Ye Chen, quickly tell me the truth, how is my daughter?" Zi Han asked.

"Who is she?" Ye Chen didn't answer Zi Han but looked at Qing Ge, the cold-faced beauty.

"I am Qing Ge." Qing Ge stated.

"..." Ye Chen almost had a myocardial infarction.

"Qing Ge's existence is ancient, and you might not know her." Zi Han said. "However, since you know the Canglan Realm, you surely know Baihua Palace, right? Qing Ge is the Palace Master of Baihua Palace, a peerless heroine known throughout Canglan!"

"..."

Upon hearing the name Qing Ge, Ye Chen still held a glimmer of hope that it was just someone with the same name.

However, Zi Han's well-intentioned explanation struck Ye Chen like a thunderbolt, plunging his heart deep into the abyss.
