Chapter 9 The Arrival of the Human Emperor
Several people got out of the car.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue was still draped in that blanket, her two fair and smooth little feet touching the ground.
Song Wanning noticed that Ye Chuxue had no shoes, so she gave Lin Xuan a wink.
Lin Xuan nodded, clapped his hands lightly, and the people around him quickly took out a red carpet and spread it on the road.
This scene left Ye Chuxue somewhat at a loss. She stood there, nervously clutching the blanket.
"It's alright. You're not wearing shoes, so it'll prevent your feet from getting blisters on the red carpet," Song Wanning said with a smile.
Song Wanning reached out her hand, and Ye Chuxue hesitated for a moment, but finally placed her hand in Song Wanning's hand.
Song Wanning held Ye Chuxue's hand tightly and led her into the building.
Once inside the building, Ye Chuxue looked around curiously, while Song Wanning pulled her to the elevator.
The elevator ascended to the twentieth floor before the doors slowly opened.
Upon opening the door, one sees maids standing on either side of the elevator doors, arranged in two neat rows with professional smiles on their faces.
Ye Chuxue was startled by the sight before her. She stared wide-eyed at the maids in astonishment.
Song Wanning gently patted Ye Chuxue's hand, signaling her not to be afraid.
"Welcome back, Miss!" the maids said in unison, their voices clear and melodious.
Ye Chuxue nodded nervously, unsure of what to say.
Song Wanning pulled Ye Chuxue out of the elevator and into a spacious and bright lobby.
The hall was beautifully decorated, with exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, soft carpets on the floor, and furniture arranged in an orderly manner.
Upon arriving in the living room, Song Wanning said to the maid beside her, "Go give her a bath and then change her clothes."
"Yes."
While Ye Chuxue was still confused, the maid pulled her away.
Song Wanning went to the dressing room, changed into a set of home clothes, and then sat comfortably on the sofa.
Half an hour later, the maid came in: "Miss, it's ready."
"Oh? Come in."
A person walked in through the door, and Song Wanning sat up straight upon seeing him.
Ye Chuxue walked in, as beautiful and charming as a blooming flower.
She wore a loose, white dress, looking like a fairy dancing gracefully. Having just bathed, her skin was slightly flushed, radiating an alluring glow.
The loose-fitting garment swayed gently with her movements, like petals dancing in a breeze, further highlighting her beauty and vivacity.
Her legs were long and straight, and her fair skin shone with a delicate glow under the light, as flawless as a jade sculpture.
She was wearing a pair of slippers, her toes peeking out playfully from the front, as if showing off their cuteness to the world.
Her hair was wet and casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands clinging to her slightly flushed cheeks, adding to her allure.
Her eyes were clear and bright, like stars in the night sky, shimmering with a gentle light.
“Um, Miss…” Ye Chuxue spoke nervously, instinctively clutching the hem of her clothes, trying to calm her unease.
Hearing the sound, Song Wanning quickly snapped out of her reverie, stood up, took Ye Chuxue's hand, and led her to the sofa. Having just showered, Ye Chuxue exuded a faint fragrance. This wasn't perfume, but rather her own unique aura.
"Come, sit down," Song Wanning said gently to Ye Chuxue.
After the two sat down, Song Wanning continued, "Xiaoxue, I have already sent someone to inform Father about your situation. We will provide you with the best resources and fully support your cultivation path."
"Thank you, Miss," Ye Chuxue said gratefully, tears welling in her eyes.
"It's alright. Someone as talented as you deserves our nurturing," Song Wanning replied with a smile.
After a while, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man slowly walked in. Upon seeing the man, Song Wanning immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Father."
Ye Chuxue knew in her heart that the person in front of her was none other than the current ruler of the world—the Human Emperor, Song Yuxuan.
With a smile on his face and a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his voice, Song Yuxuan asked, "I heard that the little princess brought back a peerless genius today. Let me see where he is."
His gaze fell on Song Wanning, as if waiting for her response.
Upon hearing her father's words, Song Wanning's lips curled into a slight smile, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes. She gracefully stepped aside, revealing Ye Chuxue to everyone.
Seeing the scene before her, Ye Chuxue felt a little nervous. She tried to kneel down, but felt an invisible force holding her down, preventing her from doing so.
The Emperor smiled gently and said softly, "Since she is someone Song'er approves of, there's no need for so much formality." His eyes revealed his affection for Song Wanning and his respect for Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue nodded gratefully and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Her voice was full of awe.
The Human Emperor smiled as he looked at Ye Chuxue and said softly, "You must be Xiaoxue. I'd like to see what your martial soul looks like, is that alright?" His tone was filled with anticipation.
Ye Chuxue nodded without hesitation. She closed her eyes, concentrated, and a jade plate slowly appeared behind her. The jade plate emitted a soft light, giving people a sense of tranquility and mystery.
The Emperor carefully sensed the aura emanating from the jade plate for a while, then nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, not bad. Compared to other SS-level support-type martial souls, your martial soul is already top-tier." His eyes gleamed with admiration.
"Is it really that powerful, Father?" Song Wanning couldn't help but ask curiously. She didn't know much about martial spirits, and only knew a little about Ye Chuxue's martial spirit.
The Human Emperor nodded and patiently explained, "This martial soul not only enhances one's own base stats, but also has recovery and healing effects. This means that in battle, it can provide strong support to teammates and improve the overall combat power of the team."
"And Song'er, you've felt it too, haven't you? Every time you absorb the aura emanating from Xiaoxue, your cultivation level increases, right?"
Song Wanning nodded obediently. She could indeed feel it; each time she absorbed the aura emanating from Ye Chuxue, her cultivation would accelerate. This feeling was strange, as if a force was propelling her forward.
"Xiaoxue's martial spirit may also have a buffing effect on other ice-type martial spirits."
These words made Song Yuxuan and Song Wanning's eyes widen. They had never imagined that Ye Chuxue's martial spirit was so powerful, not only able to enhance her own strength, but also potentially affect others.
The Emperor remained silent for a moment, knowing full well what such a martial spirit meant, and continued to say to Ye Chuxue: "Xiaoxue, you must not expose yourself outside, otherwise it will attract the covetousness and struggle of countless people."
His tone turned serious, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. A person possessing such a unique martial soul would face endless danger and trouble if this became known to the outside world.
Especially those powerful and wicked people will inevitably stop at nothing to get Ye Chuxue in order to obtain the huge benefits brought by her martial spirit.
The Human Emperor was well aware of the cruelty and complexity of this world, and he did not want Ye Chuxue to fall into trouble or even suffer misfortune because of her martial soul.
Therefore, he warned Ye Chuxue to protect herself and avoid unnecessary trouble.
At the same time, he secretly resolved to do his best to protect Ye Chuxue and not let anyone hurt her.
