"It's getting late, I should go home for dinner!" Na Wudao, feeling stifled upon hearing Ye Chen, dropped a sentence and planned to flee the place.

Ye Chen desired a reward, and if it were some treasures or money, Na Wudao could definitely satisfy him, but the youngster wanted to target his daughter, how could Na Wudao agree to that?

Na Wudao only had three sons, but he extremely cherished having a daughter, so he adopted one.

The old Dragon King loved this adopted daughter to bits, his affection even surpassing that for his own sons.

Ye Chen, this young fellow, looked impressive at first glance. Yet, Na Wudao had an intuition that Ye Chen was definitely not a 'good bird', and if his adopted daughter caught Ye Chen's eye, it would surely become the world's greatest tragedy.

Thus, Na Wudao wanted to slap his behind and leave; he definitely had to thank Ye Chen for his help, but as for how to show his gratitude, that required further consideration.

"You can leave, but leave your daughter behind!" Ye Chen was adamant and insisted on getting Na Wudao's daughter; otherwise, he would not let him go.

"…"

"Na Wudao, you have to look at the bigger picture!" Emperor Dao Yi laughed for no apparent reason. "Your adopted daughter's beauty could bring heroes to their knees, and yet none of those men are worthy of her! Ye Chen, this lad, isn't bad, your daughter will certainly be happy with him!"

"Emperor Dao Yi speaks truth!" Ye Chen voiced his agreement.

Ye Chen considered himself the strongest in the world, the best man on earth; there was no goddess he did not deserve in this world.

"Emperor Dao Yi, what are you spouting? My daughter is worthy of Ye Chen?" Na Wudao furrowed his brows, clearly not agreeing with the sentiment.

"I've seen your daughter, she's definitely worthy!" Emperor Dao Yi said earnestly.

"Let's just settle it then, I won't be fussy anymore!" Ye Chen wanted to finalize the matter quickly. "Dragon King, call your daughter over quickly, let her come home with me, and I'll certainly not scorn her!"

Na Wudao's face stiffened.

"Dragon King, Ye Chen has done us a great favor, just betroth your daughter to him!" Emperor Dao Yi urged again, with unclear intentions, seemingly determined to make this marriage happen.

"Ye Chen, what do you think of Emperor Dao Yi?" Na Wudao pulled Ye Chen aside, clearly wanting to whisper a few words.

"What do you mean?" asked Ye Chen, unclear.

"I mean, from a man's point of view, what do you think of Emperor Dao Yi?" Na Wudao inquired.

"Well, this… except for being a bit older, she seems pretty good," Ye Chen considered and then spoke out.

"Age is not a problem, martial artists can keep their youth forever. Emperor Dao Yi is now beautiful like a Heavenly Immortal and she will remain so until death!" Na Wudao stated.

"But she's not my wife, whether she's beautiful or not, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Chen wondered, somewhat puzzled.

"I owe you a big favor. If you take a fancy to Emperor Dao Yi, I'll swallow my pride and play matchmaker for you!" Na Wudao said with an unseemly smile.

"This!" Ye Chen raised his eyebrow, seeming somewhat tempted.

Emperor Dao Yi was absolutely stunning and enchanting; her martial prowess was so formidable that people remembered her for her extraordinary abilities rather than her beauty.

Such a goddess with both beauty and skill was indeed tempting for Ye Chen.

If Na Wudao could make this match, it might turn out to be a fine marriage!

"Forget it." Ye Chen thought for a moment and finally shook his head.

"What, you're saying forget it!" Na Wudao exclaimed in surprise.

He voluntarily offered to matchmake him with Emperor Dao Yi, yet Ye Chen seemed utterly unmoved and even said forget it!

"Emperor Dao Yi is definitely a goddess-level character, and her age isn't a concern for me, but her name really isn't good," Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously. "Emperor Dao Yi is a bad name, even if she were willing to marry me, I wouldn't want her; it just doesn't sound right!"

Ye Chen had always thought Emperor Dao Yi's name was bad, because it was too imposing and powerful.

If Emperor Dao Yi's looks were a perfect ten, her name dragged the score down to a miserly one, turning a goddess into a lowly commoner.

"Bastard, how is my name not good? Explain yourself!" Emperor Dao Yi grew furious, ready to charge at Ye Chen for a fight; fortunately, Na Wudao promptly blocked her, preventing a violent incident.

Emperor Dao Yi naturally overheard the private conversation between Na Wudao and Ye Chen.

While Na Wudao spoke about matchmaking her, even though Emperor Dao Yi might not have been interested, she was full of curiosity for a while.

All women harbor vanity, especially someone as cold and noble as Emperor Dao Yi. She was looking forward to hearing Ye Chen's exclamations of surprise, so she tacitly permitted their whispers.

However, Emperor Dao Yi never expected that Ye Chen would not only show no surprise but also kept emphasizing her unpleasant name!

How many times was it now? What exactly was so bad about her name?

Emperor Dao Yi was ready to risk it all and confront Ye Chen!

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Ye Chen's tone is a bit blunt, but he means no harm!" Na Wudao tried his best to dissuade, not wanting to see a major battle unfold.

"How many times has this been? Was it easy for my mother to name me? He's criticized my name more than once, the bastard!" Yun Zheyue ground her teeth in anger. Had Na Wudao not been desperately holding her back, she would have already engaged in a fierce battle with Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, you're not getting any younger. It's time you settled down. Ye Chen is a good young man, and following him would certainly bring you happiness!" Na Wudao continued to play matchmaker forcefully.

Yun Zheyue was somewhat disheveled by these words. Why did they sound so familiar?

"..."

Yun Zheyue was in disarray, and so were the heroes; they couldn't tell if this was a gathering of warriors or a matchmaking event.

Na Wudao's divine might was unparalleled, and he was known as the Dragon King of the South Sea. Now that he had ascended to become a Land God, one would expect his authority to be even more pronounced.

However, the heroes trembled in fear because once the Dragon King attained immortality, he didn't become a super BOSS but turned into a matchmaker instead!

The behaviors of Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue also left everyone dumbfounded.

One criticized the other's name, and the other seemed like a woman in a hurry to marry, eager to beat up Ye Chen. What was with these two oddballs?

Moreover, the heroes suddenly realized something. Yun Zheyue and Ye Chen were well-matched because they were both equally eccentric.

"Enough, all of you stop arguing. I don't need a wife anymore!" Ye Chen declared. "I already have plenty of wives. When would I have the time to look for another?"

Na Wudao sighed with relief. His foster daughter was spared from calamity.

However, Yun Zheyue was still quite irritated. Could it be that Ye Chen looked down on her?

"But, I've given my all to help you break through. I should gain something in return, right?" Ye Chen looked at the two.

"What do you want?" Na Wudao asked.

The old Dragon King had only one thought in mind: as long as Ye Chen didn't covet his daughter, he would agree to anything, even sending away his own son.

"I want to be known as the number one in the world!" Ye Chen asserted. "All of you have been defeated by me, even Yun Zheyue was driven away by me. I want to be recognized as number one, I want you all to revere me as the strongest!"

"..."

Yun Zheyue and Na Wudao exchanged glances. What exactly was Ye Chen's intention? He surely wasn't thinking of taking them as his followers!

"Being number one in the world is just a title. If you want it, you can take it at any time. After all, it's rightfully yours!" Yun Zheyue said indifferently.

Title meant nothing to Yun Zheyue. All of that, to her, was insubstantial.

"Yun Zheyue is deemed the strongest in the world. Since you've defeated her, naturally you can take her place!" Na Wudao concurred with a nod.

Although Na Wudao had become an immortal with his Combat Power soaring to limitless realms, his only desire was to pursue the path of martial valor, devoid of any ambition for dominion and supremacy.

"Then from this day on, I am the number one under the heavens!" Ye Chen was stirred with excitement; he had long yearned for this title.

Na Wudao was revered as the Dragon King amongst men because he had dominated the South Sea for his entire life, striking awe across the four seas, and was thus rightfully worshipped by the people as the Dragon King!

Yun Zheyue became a legend because her name was known throughout the world. Her true identity remained unseen, leading countless individuals to look up to her. As time passed, she naturally became a legend.

The reason why the Lord of Dragons was so majestic and invincible was that her entire life had been characterized by overwhelming dominance, revered by the world for countless years, thus enabling her to stand tall above all others.

Hence, reputation could nurture a person's momentum, allowing one to naturally ferment an invincible aura.

Yun Zheyue, Na Wudao, and Yun Zheyue were no longer concerned about reputation, for they had already attained what they sought, and were now after more substantial gains.

But Ye Chen was different; he was still young, with a long road ahead of him. He needed a venerable name to foster his own invincible essence.

Therefore, Ye Chen wanted to be the first under the heavens!

"The majestic Lord of Dragons has been chased away by me, Yun Zheyue and Na Wudao have succumbed to my invincible might. I am the unmatched, the number one master in the world of men right now!" Ye Chen boasted energetically, taunting the multitude of heroes. "I am the first under the heavens; if any of you object, step forward and challenge me, let me give you a thrashing!"

"..."

Yun Zheyue and Na Wudao, upon seeing Ye Chen's demeanor, couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed. As equally invincible beings, they truly disliked this upstart's attitude.

If these two titans couldn't bear to watch, not to mention the warriors present.

From his entrance to now, Ye Chen had constantly been accumulating resentment. As things stood, he had incurred the wrath of heaven and the people alike.

Even if Ye Chen genuinely became peerless under the heavens, many warriors still disliked him. This fellow hardly carried the demeanor of the world's number one; he was simply an upstart gloating in triumph.

But, as before, even though many disapproved of Ye Chen, who could challenge him when his Combat Power was so formidable? Knowing him to be an upstart, the multitude of heroes didn't dare to curse or get angry, for they feared being kicked by Ye Chen into the sea to learn how to swim again.

"Dragon King, where is your daughter? I really want to meet her!" Ye Chen enjoyed the forlorn gazes of the heroes and said to Na Wudao with a mischievous smile.
