Douluo V: Evolving the Ancient Dragon, Marrying to Become a God

"Right, we also have the support of the Tian Dou Royal Family. These alliances make our development momentum unparalleled," Tang Yuehua said with a touch of pride.

Su Bai nodded in satisfaction. With such backing, his divine trial task seemed much easier to complete.

"Any new developments on the Tian Dou side?" Su Bai asked.

Tang Yuehua suddenly slapped her forehead in frustration. "Oh no, I completely forgot..."

Su Bai's expression changed slightly. "What happened?"

He had asked casually, not expecting there to be an issue.

Tang Yuehua's face showed signs of distress.

"It's Emperor Xue Ye."

"What about him?" Su Bai felt a growing sense of unease.

Tang Yuehua sighed. "Emperor Xue Ye is seriously ill. He has been asking to see you, but since you haven't been around, I've had to stall him."

Emperor Xue Ye had provided significant support to Su Bai, and his daughter Xue Ke had a special relationship with him.

Su Bai sighed. "I should go see him."

Getting up, Su Bai dressed and kissed each of the three women on their foreheads before leaving the room.

As Su Bai exited, he encountered Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong walking hand in hand.

"Good morning, Su Bai!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, letting go of Ning Rongrong's hand and jumping onto Su Bai, wrapping herself around him.

Su Bai laughed and held Xiao Wu's soft bottom in his hands, enjoying the feel.

Ning Rongrong, feeling a bit left out, pouted and walked over to hug Su Bai from behind.

"What's the matter?" Su Bai turned his head, and their lips met in a kiss.

Ning Rongrong, her lips trailing a string of saliva, said, "You taste like other women."

Su Bai chuckled and kissed her again. "Do you mind?"

Ning Rongrong quickly replied, "Of course not. I just worry that if you've been with others, you won't satisfy me."

Saying this, she reached out to test him and was surprised. "You still can!"

Su Bai grinned proudly. "Not satisfying you? That's impossible."

Ning Rongrong licked her lips. "Then let's..."

She started to massage him.

Su Bai set Xiao Wu down and embraced Ning Rongrong, his hands moving boldly.

"If I didn't have something to do today, I'd take care of you right here."

Ning Rongrong lifted her shirt, guiding Su Bai's hands to her warm softness.

"What's the matter?" Ning Rongrong asked, letting out a soft moan.

Xiao Wu, not wanting to be left out, also moved in to kiss Su Bai.

Realizing he couldn't leave if he continued, Su Bai reluctantly pulled away, avoiding Xiao Wu's attempts to kiss him.

"Emperor Xue Ye of the Tian Dou Royal Family is gravely ill and wants to see me," Su Bai said, inhaling the scent on his fingers. "Hmm, pear blossom fragrance."

Ning Rongrong raised her chin proudly. "Like it? I have more perfumes."

"Wait until I get back. I'll teach you how to make it even more delightful," Su Bai laughed before leaving the Dragon God Palace.

Su Bai was well-acquainted with the Tian Dou Empire. He reached the gates of the Tian Dou Royal Palace without any issues.

"Who goes there?"

Two guards with long-handled double-headed axes crossed their weapons, blocking Su Bai's path.

"I need to go in," Su Bai said directly.

"Hmph, the Tian Dou Royal Palace is not a place anyone can enter," the guard on the left said dismissively.

Su Bai pointed at himself. "You don't recognize me?"

The guard on the right laughed. "Should we? Without a summons or command, you can't enter!"

Su Bai laughed too.

"Are you new here?"

The guards nodded. "So what if we are?"

Not wanting to waste time arguing, Su Bai took out a white token with the character "Night" inscribed on it.

"Take a good look at this," Su Bai said, tossing the token to the guards.

They examined the token, their eyes widening in shock.

Realizing who Su Bai was, they quickly returned the token and knelt. "Apologies, sir. We didn't recognize you."

The token was given to Su Bai by Emperor Xue Ye himself, signifying that it carried the emperor's authority.

Such tokens were rare in the entire Tian Dou Empire.

Su Bai hadn't had much use for it before since most people in the Tian Dou Empire recognized him.

"Can I go in now?" Su Bai asked with a teasing tone.

"Yes... yes, sir. Please enter," the guards stammered, not daring to meet Su Bai's gaze.

They feared Su Bai might retaliate, but Su Bai wasn't that petty.

After a mild rebuke, he walked into the palace.

The palace was visibly in disarray.

With Emperor Xue Ye gravely ill, doctors and attendants were bustling about.

As Su Bai approached the emperor's quarters, a graceful figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

"Su Bai, I knew it was you!" the girl exclaimed.

Su Bai recognized her as Xue Ke, Emperor Xue Ye's daughter.

"It's been a while, Xue Ke," Su Bai greeted with a smile.

Xue Ke's smile faded, and she suddenly teared up, throwing herself into Su Bai's arms.

She wore a palace gown that accentuated her perfect figure, making it hard to look away.

"Su Bai, I've missed you so much!" Xue Ke cried.

Su Bai gently patted her head. "I'm here now, aren't I?"

"As the emperor's daughter, I can't cry, but I'm so sad!" Xue Ke sobbed. "Seeing my father like this every day is unbearable..."

Su Bai didn't know how to comfort her, so he continued to gently pat her.

"There, there, don't cry."

Xue Ke's sobs continued, her grip on Su Bai tightening. "Su Bai, I missed you so much. I'm so glad you're here."

Su Bai could only imagine how hard it had been for Xue Ke to watch her father deteriorate day by day.

"Shh, I'm here now," Su Bai reassured her, hugging her back.

Suddenly, Xue Ke looked up, tears in her eyes, and kissed Su Bai passionately.

"Mmm..."

Seeing Xue Ke's beautiful face so close, Su Bai felt a rush of emotion.

"Don't talk, just kiss me," Xue Ke whispered.
