In the God Realm, most places were either Divine Alliances or Divine Cities.
Even when someone carved out a blessed land or hidden paradise, they would give it an elegant name.
Something Pavilion this, Tower that.
It had to roll off the tongue—and have presence.
But this—
Ye Residence.
Well... it was straightforward, plain, without the slightest flourish.
It truly fit Ye Yu’s black bear demon persona.
It seemed the inner demon had indeed put thought into it this time.
But why were there so many different divine power fluctuations within this place?
Heng Xuanzhen asked curiously, "Is your Divine City open to anyone?"
Divine Cities in the God Realm were divided into two types.
One was like Tranquil Mind Divine City or Balance City—open to the public, profit-oriented.
The other was entirely private territory, closed to outsiders.
Ye Residence clearly belonged to the latter.
With its defensive arrays fully activated, it did not resemble a profit-oriented city at all.
Yet why were there so many different auras inside?
"Of course not. Only our own people can enter here."
As Ye Yu spoke, a thought flickered through his mind, and the city’s defensive array abruptly opened.
The gates of Ye Residence slowly parted.
Ye Yu carried Han Yuexi inside.
Hearing the movement, Bone Lady, Shen Fuxin, and Yu Buxia immediately came forward.
Smiling brightly, they said, "Husband, you’re back."
Though that was what they said, their eyes instinctively locked onto Heng Xuanzhen and Han Yuexi.
The latter was not entirely unfamiliar—and unconscious, posing no threat.
But the former was different.
They had never seen her before.
Was she a new sister?
While Bone Lady and Shen Fuxin sized up Heng Xuanzhen, she was doing the same to them.
Each of the three women had distinct charm. Setting aside cultivation realms, their appearances were no less than hers or Liu Yuenong’s.
Where had they come from?
And why did the way they addressed Ye Yu sound so grating?
Heng Xuanzhen unconsciously clenched her fists and turned to Ye Yu, her voice low.
"These are your..."
For some reason, she simply could not utter the words Dao companions.
Or perhaps she rejected it from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, how she wished Ye Yu would deny it, say the three women were joking.
But imagination and reality were often different.
Just like now.
Ye Yu said softly, "These three are my Dao companions. In fact, there are more. Some are still outside and haven’t returned."
Some things were better clarified early.
This was reality. Sooner or later, one had to accept it.
Concealment only implied guilt.
Besides, Heng Xuanzhen was currently entangled with her inner demon. If this could stimulate it—
That would kill two birds with one stone.
More than three?
Heng Xuanzhen clenched her teeth, and divine power around her suddenly turned violent.
So this is how you play, inner demon?
Fabricating women out of thin air to disrupt my Dao heart?
Calm down. I must calm down.
I absolutely cannot be influenced.
She took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to steady herself.
It did not work.
Looking at Yu Buxia, Bone Lady, and the others standing behind Ye Yu—
Her anger refused to subside.
Her eyes locked onto Ye Yu as if she would tear him apart the next second.
Sensing her hostility, Yu Buxia, Bone Lady, and Shen Fuxin’s gazes instantly turned cold, ready to suppress her.
They would never allow any threat near Ye Yu.
Even a potential sister.
No—
Someone with such hostility could not be a sister.
However, before they could act, Ye Yu stopped them and looked at Heng Xuanzhen with keen interest.
Yes. That’s the look. That anger. Perfect.
Hm?
Why was there still no sign of the inner demon surfacing?
Was the stimulation insufficient?
Should he increase it?
With that thought, Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward, closing in on Heng Xuanzhen.
The distance between them shrank to less than five centimeters.
Such proximity made Heng Xuanzhen’s eyes widen. Her entire body tensed, her heart pounding.
What... was he doing?
"Don’t look at me like that. You’re not my Dao companion. Liu Yuenong is.
Don’t get so immersed.
Otherwise people might think you’re the principal wife."
Those words struck with lethal precision.
Targeting the weak point directly.
In the dream, Heng Xuanzhen had never obtained a proper Dao companion status.
Bringing that up now was entirely reasonable.
No one could fault it.
Ye Yu intended this as a fatal blow.
But unexpectedly—
She endured.
Not only did she suppress the divine power on the verge of eruption, she even forced out a smile.
"Yes. You’re right. I was too immersed. We are only friends, not Dao companions."
Turning, she looked over the vast Ye Residence.
"I see you have plenty of space here. I plan to stay a few days. You don’t mind, do you?"
Though phrased as a question, she did not wait for Ye Yu’s reply.
She calmly walked inside.
Elegantly selecting an empty room and settling in.
Her demeanor was graceful and unhurried. Not a trace of inner demon agitation showed.
And that made it worse.
An inner demon capable of restraint was far more dangerous than one that erupted uncontrollably.
Tsk. After all that, you can still endure? Impressive.
"She... who exactly is she? Does she count as a new sister?"
Shen Fuxin asked the core question first.
Ye Yu had just opened his mouth to answer—
When the city’s defensive array suddenly activated on its own.
Heavenly thunder and earthfire surged simultaneously.
Outside the city, it looked like fireworks exploding—brilliant, dazzling—
Accompanied by someone’s miserable screams.
Ye Yu frowned.
Who would assault the array at this moment?
Looking up, he saw a familiar figure outside.
Han Gu.
Ah. One of their own.
Ye Yu immediately halted the array and brought him down.
Han Gu’s robe was charred black. His once sleek black hair had turned into a frizzed explosion.
He looked utterly miserable.
Lying on the ground, his body twitched faintly, arcs of lightning still flickering over him.
The array’s power was evidently quite satisfactory.
What puzzled Ye Yu was—
Why was Han Gu outside?
Hadn’t he been recovering from severe injuries within the city?
Yu Buxia explained, "Daoist Han was anxious about his daughter. Though not fully healed, he went out to search for Han Yuexi.
It seems he just returned.
Hm—he appears to be trying to say something."
