The next morning.

There were no roosters crowing in the villa, but the goddesses had all risen.

"Where's Ye Chen?" After finishing her makeup, Wen Rou wanted to show her presence to Ye Chen. However, she searched for a long while and couldn't find him anywhere.

"He's in Lin Ying's room," Liu Shihua said with a rather sour tone.

"..." Wen Rou felt she had missed something.

However, at that moment, Ye Chen and Lin Ying appeared, drawing sidelong glances from all the women.

"Apprentice, you've made a breakthrough!" Yun Xianghan said, astonished to see Lin Ying.

"Yes, Ye Chen gave me some guidance yesterday, which helped me advance to the Ten Dragons Taboo," Lin Ying said.

Lin Ying was already among the respected Nine Dragons and had a very solid foundation. Yesterday, Ye Chen helped her sort out her meridians, which directly allowed her to progress and become a Ten Dragons figure!

"Alright, hurry up and gather for breakfast!" Su Binglan said. "Empress Chu and Tong prepared the breakfast; it's a rare opportunity, come quick and grab some!"

Chu Yanran knew Ye Chen had a big appetite, so she prepared a large amount of breakfast, enough to satiate even the hungriest of people.

"Ye Chen, how can you eat so much? Su Binglan and the others are Grandmasters, and Yun Xianghan is a Land God. They get full after just a few bites, but you just keep eating. Are you a pig?" Wen Rou said with a look of disdain at Ye Chen.

"To call you a pig would make pigs cry, because even they can't eat as much as you do." Wen Rou showed her disgust towards Ye Chen in a clearly provocative manner.

"Binglan, how has Wen Rou been performing these past few years?" Ye Chen asked, taking a sip of porridge and turning to Su Binglan.

"Mediocre at best," Su Binglan replied.

"With such mediocrity, what's the use of keeping her? Quickly draw up a letter of dismissal and have Wen Rou fired!" Ye Chen said fiercely.

"I was waiting for you to say that, I've been planning to do that!" Su Binglan gave an ok sign.

"..."

The atmosphere at the breakfast table suddenly became quiet.

The goddesses looked at Wen Rou with sympathy. As the saying goes, one wouldn't die if they didn't court trouble. Wen Rou had successfully courted disaster.

"Don't fire me, I know I was wrong!" Wen Rou said with a lamenting expression, bowing her head and admitting her mistake to Ye Chen.

"You're a constant buzz like a fly. Aren't you annoying?" Ye Chen asked Wen Rou as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Wen Rou clenched her small hands and started to get angry.

Her intention was very simple. She just wanted to show her presence and get Ye Chen to notice her more. She didn't understand what she did wrong.

"Wen Rou, you have a boyfriend, yet you live in my villa. How does that reflect on your boyfriend's face?" Ye Chen said. "As a man, you and I living together every day, even if we are innocent, who would believe it if we told them?"

"So, for the sake of your reputation and mine, please move out," Ye Chen said, wanting to drive Wen Rou away. She had a boyfriend and was still muddling around in front of him, which was quite bothersome.

"Ye Chen, I've broken up with my boyfriend," Wen Rou said.

"Whether you break up or not, what does that have to do with me? Should I still fix you up with someone once I've paid you your salary?" Ye Chen said with an unfriendly tone.

"Ye Chen, did you eat gunpowder or something? You're speaking so harshly," Su Binglan intervened, as she could hardly bear it any longer because Wen Rou was about to cry from his words.

"Ding dong."

Just when the atmosphere was a tad tense, the villa's doorbell rang.

"Ye Chen, someone's at the villa. Go and see who it is," Liu Shihua instructed.

Ye Chen had finished the goddesses' food and even spoiled the atmosphere at the breakfast table by trying to kick out one of them.

Under the collective instigation of the goddesses, Ye Chen stuffed another two buns into his mouth and hurried out to see who the visitor was.

"Nan Zhiji?" When Ye Chen came out, he saw Nan Zhiji outside the villa, but he was a bit puzzled – what did the dragon Crown Prince want with him?

"Thanks to your help, my father has ascended to immortality, so he has prepared a Dragon King's banquet and hopes you will attend," said Nan Wudao, straightforwardly stating his purpose – to invite Ye Chen for a meal.

"Dragon King's banquet?" Ye Chen asked, "What's a Dragon King's banquet? Will there be delicious food there?"

"Hmm," Nan Zhiji agreed with a sound, but a strange look appeared on his face – what was up with Ye Chen's weird questions?

The Dragon King's banquet was the greatest feast held by the South Sea Dragon King, and those invited to it were among the strongest in the world. Currently, the only ones qualified to enjoy the Dragon King's banquet were the emperor, Yun Zheyue, and several deeply hidden old fossils.

To attend the Dragon King's banquet was an honor, a symbol, a recognition, yet all Ye Chen could think of was eating.

"Are there any delicacies? Can you eat dragon meat at the Dragon King's banquet?" Ye Chen asked again.

Nan Wudao was really defeated. He seriously doubted Ye Chen's intelligence – how on earth had this guy cultivated to the Invincible Realm?

"Looking at you, I can tell there's no dragon meat at the Dragon King's banquet," Ye Chen said disdainfully. "If it's not as the name suggests, I'd rather not go."

Ye Chen had the attitude of a spoiled master, acting willfully and showing no interest in attending the Dragon King's banquet.

"Ye Chen, I've come with sincere intentions!" Nan Zhiji earnestly implored.

In reality, Nan Zhiji wanted to scream at Ye Chen to stop the nonsense and have fun together!

But knowing Ye Chen was an oddball, he feared that if he shouted out loud, Ye Chen would slap him dead on the spot.

"Alright then, are there beauties at the Dragon King's banquet?" Ye Chen asked once more.

"Yes!" Not daring to say otherwise in order to appease Ye Chen, Nan Zhiji claimed there was everything Ye Chen asked for.

Consequently, a rather humorous exchange followed.

"How many beauties?" inquired Ye Chen.

"A big group," replied Nan Zhiji.

"How big is a 'big group'?" Ye Chen curiously asked about the numbers.

"Seven, eight..." Nan Zhiji tried to exaggerate the number, but before he could finish, Ye Chen cut him off.

"Only seven or eight?" Ye Chen sounded dissatisfied.

"I haven't finished speaking. There are seventy or eighty – a big group!" Nan Zhiji tried to inflate the number because he noticed Ye Chen's fondness for beauties.

"That's more like it. How old are these beauties?" asked Ye Chen.

"Around twenty years old, in the prime of youth; all have oval faces, big eyes, long legs, excellent figures, true beauties that are hard to come by!" Nan Zhiji decided to bring in a group of models to fill the space.

"Are all these beauties single? None of them is married, right?" Ye Chen seemed to have some plans.

"Absolutely single. They're all looking for partners, for handsome men, just waiting for you to come over," Nan Zhiji grasped Ye Chen's psychology.

"Doesn't your father have an adopted daughter? I've heard she's a beauty too – is she there?" Ye Chen changed the subject to the Dragon King's daughter, clearly wanting to become the Dragon King's son-in-law.

"The adopted sister is there, and she admires you a lot, wanting to get to know you," Nan Zhiji spoke the truth this time.

In front of all the heroes, Ye Chen directly asked for the Dragon King's daughter to be his wife, a fact that had already reached the ears of the person concerned. The Dragon King's adopted daughter was very angry and wanted to teach Ye Chen a lesson.

However, after Nan Zhiji's embellishment, it became that the Dragon King's adopted daughter greatly admired Ye Chen and wanted to befriend him, the great hero, even harboring affection for Ye Chen, the number one in the world...

In the end, Nan Zhiji sold out his adopted sister and successfully bamboozled Ye Chen.
