Chapter 1045 (After the Battle)

"Long live the Spirit City! Long live the Emperor!"

The cheers of a million people echoed throughout the Spirit City, boosting the morale of the entire city. Even the residents felt the urge to join the battlefield; the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm.

"General Ye! Your meritorious service in repelling the Demon Capital is commendable! I grant you the title of Grand General of Valor, and several spirit-grade items, along with five vats of Spirit Spring!"

There was a distinction between a general and a grand general, and it lay in that one little word – "grand."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Of course, Ye Yuanqing understood that once she got married, all these titles would be meaningless. Grand General or not, it was just a flattering title.

"Prince Ye, you've achieved great merit this time!" Huang Fei exclaimed with a smile.

However, his tone didn't sound like a celebration but more like gritted teeth, as if he wished for the other's demise.

"This can't be considered a great merit, just a trivial matter," Ye Hua replied casually.

Hearing Ye Hua's words, the soldiers were dumbfounded. If this were trivial, what would be considered significant? It was unbelievable.

Huang Fei wore a smile on his face, but inside he was thinking, 'You think you're impressive?! You think you can act arrogantly?!'

"Prince Ye, if you desire any rewards, I will fulfil your wishes!" Huang Fei said.

"Is Your Majesty sincere?" Ye Hua looked at Huang Fei with just a glance, but Huang Fei felt he was about to fall into a trap. He would be in a difficult situation later.

Huang Fei smiled faintly, "Prince Ye, your merits are undeniable. I'll need to think carefully about how to reward you. All the soldiers will be rewarded! Congratulations once again!"

After saying this, Huang Fei turned and left.

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" Everyone bid farewell, but Ye Hua stood still, making Huang Fei quite annoyed.

If it weren't for the past, he could have made Ye Hua kneel now.

"Big brother, I'll go check on the soldiers first," Ye Yuanqing said softly.

"Alright, big brother will head back first."

"Mm." Ye Yuanqing nodded and began to count the soldiers.

Ye Hua changed into a black robe. The armour was uncomfortable to wear. It was time to visit his mother.

However, Huang Fei arrived at Huang Yun's palace at this moment, where the imperial physician was treating him.

Huang Fei entered and saw the wounds, deep enough to expose the bones. This was the result of the weapon used by Huang Li! There were multiple injuries across the body, and the abdomen was punctured. When did Huang Li become so formidable? Even he was unaware. Could it be that Huang Li had concealed his true strength?

"Father..." Huang Yun on the bed uttered a weak voice, sounding truly heartbreaking.

Huang Fei hurriedly stepped forward, expressing concern. "Yun, how do you feel? Where does it hurt?"

"Father, your child is incompetent, and failed to protect the Supreme Soul as you desired!" Huang Yun immediately began self-blaming, a clever choice.

Huang Fei sighed lightly. "It's alright! But where did Huang Li go? Do you know?"

"Father, Huang Li unexpectedly hid his strength, catching your child off guard. He has fled to the Demon Capital now. As for the exact location, your child is unaware." Huang Yun started fabricating, destroying Huang Li's body and weapon. The evidence was now gone, and it would be impossible to find in this lifetime.

Hearing Huang Yun's words, Huang Fei sighed deeply. After a moment, he said sternly, "Summon the guards!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Announce that the Crown Prince defied orders, injuring his younger brother! His actions are despicable! Remove him from the imperial family! Capture him!"

Huang Fei declared harshly. Losing the Supreme Soul to his eldest son was absolutely unacceptable.

Hearing these words from his father, Huang Yun felt relieved. It seemed his father believed him.

It wasn't in vain that he endured so many stabs, even forgoing the opportunity to enter the city after the victory. It was all to make his father trust him.

Huang Yun was indeed a ruthless person, willing to use any means to gain trust.

"How did Shi Yun and the others die? Was it really a single slash that killed them?" Huang Fei asked again.

Huang Yun recalled that slash, still somewhat terrified. "Father, it was just an ordinary slash, creating a red aura. However, even before the aura touched, the blade wind killed all the Overlords sent by Father! Even their souls had no chance to escape!"

Hearing this, Huang Fei furrowed his brows tightly, pondering. Such a powerful weapon existed in this world!

Even if he searched thoroughly, Huang Fei had no knowledge of such a weapon!

"Who is that person?"

"Father, he should be the Commander," Huang Yun weakly replied.

Huang Fei's gaze turned serious. Killing over twenty Overlords with a single slash indeed required attention. Such strength was terrifying!

"Yun, recover well. In a few days, the grand wedding will take place. Don't appear sickly."

Huang Yun felt joy in his heart. A grand wedding! This was great; he could marry Qian Yuqing.

However, Huang Yun quickly understood his father's intention. He still wanted to use Qian Yuqing to pressure Ye Hua.

"Father, when Ye Hua went out this time, why did he return unscathed? Wasn't everything arranged?" Huang Yun asked with confusion. According to the plan, anything arranged by his Father should go smoothly.

However, all the arrangements for this incident went wrong. Wasn't it said that the enemy's commander would come to his death? But the enemy's commander single-handedly took down more than twenty Overlords with a slash and played around. He was truly a freak, impossible to kill. Huang Yun even speculated in his heart whether his father deliberately said this, hoping he would go to his death, allowing Huang Li to ascend.

Such a possibility was not without question.

"Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Father has his own arrangements. Just focus on recovering from your injuries in the coming days," Huang Fei advised.

Huang Yun nodded without saying anything more. Marrying Qian Yuqing was already a strong retaliation against Ye Hua! Just the thought of it was satisfying. Although he couldn't kill Ye Hua, he could sleep with his woman and make Ye Hua's woman enjoy beneath him. How cool!

Huang Fei left Huang Yun's sleeping chamber, lost in thought as he returned to his own chamber.

On the other hand, Ye Hua had already returned home and went directly to his mother's separate residence.

He wanted to assure his mother of his safety first.

Seeing her son return promptly, Le Jing felt happy.

"Mother, have there been any issues these days?" Ye Hua asked softly. The term "mother" had become more fluent, devoid of any awkwardness.

Le Jing smiled and nodded. "Rest assured, even if there were, isn't Daji here?"

"And me too," Ye Juetian stood on the side, happily adding a touch of humour to the atmosphere. He was quite the happy-go-lucky type.

Ye Hua nodded. "That's good."

'This Emperor surprisingly didn't take any action. It seemed he was afraid to make a move within the city, given the potential repercussions.'

Huang Fei did consider it, but ultimately decided against kidnapping Ye Hua's mother due to the possible disturbances it would cause.
