[Outside the banquet hall, everyone had gathered around Ye Bancheng, wearing ingratiating smiles.]
[Anyone who could attend this gathering was part of the upper echelon of the Demon Realm. Not a single one of them was a fool.]
[The fact that Ye Yu had accurately called out the chief steward's name, combined with the shock on White Demon Lord Bai Qingsong's face, conveyed a very clear message.]
[Ye Bancheng's son was absolutely extraordinary.]
[There was a high chance he had some prior connection with Bai Qingsong.]
[Otherwise, the latter could never have reacted so strongly.]
[The Ye family had truly produced a dragon among men!]
[As a result, everyone was scrambling to make an impression on Ye Bancheng, hoping to at least become familiar enough to be remembered.]
[Unfortunately for them, they were all kept at the perimeter by Yue Rongkun.]
[This was a ruthless figure capable of instantly killing Zhou Jiahuai, an expert of the Demon Emperor Realm. Simply standing there was enough to create an indescribable sense of pressure.]
[No one dared approach too closely. They could only call out to Ye Bancheng from afar.]
[But at this moment, Ye Bancheng had no interest whatsoever in exchanging pleasantries.]
[All of his attention was fixed on the banquet hall.]
[He was still worried about Ye Yu's safety.]
[If anything happened to his son, how could he possibly go on living?]
[Yue Rongkun seemed to notice Ye Bancheng's concerns. He stepped forward and spoke softly.]
["Master, the young master will be fine."]
[Ye Bancheng assumed he was simply trying to comfort him. He forced out a faint smile but said nothing.]
[Seeing this, Yue Rongkun did not continue.]
[Soon, the doors of the banquet hall opened.]
[Bai Qingsong strode straight out, his gaze sweeping rapidly across the crowd before settling on Ye Bancheng.]
["Oh my, old sir, why are you still standing? You there! Nobody thought to bring him a chair? Have you spent all these years as chief steward for nothing?"]
[Hearing this, Chief Steward Jiao Tianao could only stand there with an awkward smile plastered across his face.]
[Unable to see Ye Yu, Ye Bancheng grew increasingly anxious. Suppressing his fear, he asked softly:]
["White Demon Lord, where is my Yu'er?"]
[Bai Qingsong immediately put on a stern face.]
["Hey, what White Demon Lord? From now on, just call me Little Bai. My elder brother and I are of the same generation, so technically I ought to call you Uncle. But that doesn't feel right. The moment I met you, I felt an instant connection. You remind me of my father."]
["If you don't mind, how about I acknowledge you as my adoptive father? What do you think?"]
[The moment those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.]
[Everyone stared at Bai Qingsong in utter disbelief.]
[They had guessed that the Ye family might establish ties with Bai Qingsong and soar to unprecedented heights.]
[But they had never imagined they would soar like this.]
[Bai Qingsong was practically offering himself up as a mount.]
[The world had truly gone mad.]
[Ye Bancheng himself had never imagined events would develop to this point.]
[Completely at a loss, he suddenly let out a hiccup.]
[Such a physiological reaction was perfectly normal when a person was under extreme stress.]
[Not only did Bai Qingsong show no sign of disdain, the smile on his face became even brighter.]
[He grabbed Ye Bancheng's sleeve and began leading him toward the banquet hall.]
["Adoptive Father, since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes. From now on, let's get along well. Just treat me like your own son and put me to work however you like."]
["As for Brother Yu, he's already left. Said he was going to wander around the Celestial World. Oh, and he asked me to pass along a message. Everything in your warehouse? He took all of it."]
[After Bai Qingsong and Ye Bancheng entered the banquet hall, the doors closed once more.]
[Immediately afterward, Chief Steward Jiao Tianao stepped forward and addressed the gathered demons in a loud voice.]
["Everyone may leave now. Our Demon Lord doesn't have time to entertain guests these days."]
["Oh, right. However you treated the Ye family in the past was none of East Shaking Province's concern. But from this day forward, anyone who makes trouble for the Ye family will be making trouble for all of East Shaking Province. Think carefully about what that means."]
[Upon hearing this, the assembled demons immediately agreed with broad smiles.]
[Though their smiles were somewhat bitter.]
[Why couldn't this heaven-sent fortune have fallen into their laps?]
[With Bai Qingsong as an adopted son, who in the entire Demon Realm would dare cause trouble for Ye Bancheng in the future?]
[But just who exactly was Ye Bancheng's son?]
[Why would Bai Qingsong lower himself to such an extent for him?]
[It made absolutely no sense.]
[Meanwhile, having reaped enormous rewards, Ye Yu had already traveled through the Five Realms Passage and arrived in the Celestial World, heading straight for the Tower of Nonaction.]
[Along the way, he did not encounter any acquaintances.]
[Everything proceeded smoothly, and he soon reached his destination.]
[Opening the familiar formation barrier, Ye Yu entered the Tower of Nonaction with ease.]
[The moment he landed, he saw Liang Yu enthusiastically devouring spiritual fruits.]
[The instant she noticed Ye Yu, her movements froze.]
[Her eyes widened with shock.]
[She didn't even care that the spiritual fruit in her hand had fallen to the ground.]
[Only after Ye Yu softly called her name did Liang Yu finally snap back to reality.]
[Then, moving at astonishing speed, she threw herself at him and wrapped him in a huge hug.]
[No matter how Ye Yu waved his hands in protest, it was completely useless.]
[To be honest, Ye Yu had already prepared a plan to trade time for quality.]
[In other words, he intended to avoid physical contact with anyone for an extended period and see whether he could trigger a better reward.]
[He hadn't expected to break that resolution so quickly.]
[Still, it didn't matter.]
[His own cultivation partner could do whatever she wanted.]
[Touching Celestial World Immortal Lord Realm expert Liang Yu.]
[Reward obtained: Immortal Art — Rootless Listening Rain Dao.]
[Centered on the user, a vast domain of rainfall is created.]
[Within this domain, all illusions and falsehoods can be dispelled, and enemy immortal arts lose the ability to lock onto the user.]
[Ye Yu's eyes widened involuntarily.]
[What was this supposed to be?]
[Had the one-in-a-thousand plunder effect activated as well?]
[It seemed his plan of trading time for quality could officially be declared a failure.]
[Because Liang Yu had effectively proven that the rewards from Divine Touch were completely random and followed no discernible pattern.]
[Liang Yu also seemed to realize something.]
[She suddenly raised her head.]
["Huh? Why does it feel like I've lost something important? But no matter how hard I think about it, I can't remember what it was!"]
["If you can't remember it, don't worry about it. It'll come back to you eventually."]
[Ye Yu gently reassured her.]
[And he wasn't merely brushing her off.]
[He was genuinely trying to comfort her.]
[After all, this place was only a dream space.]
[Even if an immortal art had been plundered, once the dream shattered and she returned to reality, the immortal art would return as well. There would be no lasting effect whatsoever.]
[Liang Yu did not dwell on the matter.]
[Instead, she reached up and began rubbing the demon horns on Ye Yu's head.]
["So you've changed into a demon again? Heh. Not bad. They actually feel pretty nice."]
[Ye Yu's face darkened.]
[Then his expression abruptly changed.]
["Don't pull on them! It really hurts!"]
