---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ye Wen's wives, though somewhat surprised by his decision to take a new wife, all expressed understanding. They knew Ye Wen well and trusted that he wouldn't act without reason.
The only unhappy one was likely the twin-tailed little loli in a green dress who stood outside Ye Wen's house every day. Each time Ye Wen left, he could feel her piercing, resentful gaze.
What a headache—how had he forgotten about this vengeful fangirl with a grudge?
Yes, this little loli was none other than the Ice Goddess—Ice Empress.
Even after ten thousand years, she still relentlessly pursued Snow Empress without any sign of letting up.
Indeed, first love was the most unforgettable.
Additionally, since Snow Empress had merged with the Plane Consciousness, her old name no longer suited her. Thus, Ye Wen gave her a new name: Heavenly Snow Empress.
After all, Snow Empress was now equivalent to the ruler of Douluo Star's plane. Using "Heavenly" as her surname was fitting, and she carried it well.
Though Ice Empress hid her emotions deeply, Ye Wen could still detect a hint of murderous intent in her resentful gaze.
Had this obsessive girl turned into a yandere?
But it didn't matter—Ye Wen was confident in his own strength.
Ice Empress, who had just broken through to the level of a first-tier god, wasn't even on his radar.
Still, being followed around by a little loli made Ye Wen feel uneasy. And the unpredictable mindset of a yandere unnerved him. Who knew what insane things Ice Empress might do someday? So Ye Wen decided to have a serious talk with her.
"What? Didn't you come because I invited you? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Ye Wen invited Ice Empress inside and served her a cup of hot tea with great enthusiasm. But clearly, this little loli wasn't buying it. She still harbored resentment over Ye Wen "stealing" her first love.
Soul beasts were soul beasts—they aged but didn't grow wiser.
Even after all these years, she was still acting like a tsundere loli. If not for fear that she might spiral into an irredeemable path of madness, Ye Wen wouldn't bother dealing with such a brat.
As Ye Wen smiled falsely, Ice Empress grew increasingly uncomfortable.
But thinking of Ye Wen's status and power, Ice Empress wanted to lash out yet didn't dare. She sat there restlessly, seven parts intimidated, two parts fearful, and one part crazed, glaring at Ye Wen vigilantly.
"Calm down. I mean you no harm," Ye Wen said soothingly, even taking the time to sip his tea.
The calmer Ye Wen acted, the more Ice Empress felt something was off. Despite being the goddess of ice, she suddenly felt cold herself. What was going on?
Seeing that Ice Empress remained uncooperative and on guard, Ye Wen realized his usual approach wasn't working. It was time to pull out the big guns.
"Let me be blunt, Ice Empress.
Give up your meaningless obsession with Snow Empress. There's no future between you two."
Every living being had its own bottom line, and Ye Wen had clearly crossed Ice Empress's. She immediately snapped back, enraged.
"You're lying! I—"
Ice Empress bared her teeth, ready to retort, but she was instantly subdued by Ye Wen's overwhelming presence.
However, her beastly instincts were also triggered at this moment. Her eyes turned blood-red, and she glared at Ye Wen defiantly, shouting hoarsely,
"Snow Empress loves me! She definitely does! How can you say it's impossible? You liar! If you hadn't used underhanded tactics, why would Snow Empress marry you?!
Everyone among the gods knows you're a pervert! Pretending to be a good guy in front of me—do you think I'll fall for it? You already have seven wives and still aren't satisfied! Now you've set your sights on my Snow Empress! You disgusting pervert, you monster!!!"
At this, Ye Wen's expression darkened. Though he had many wives, he wasn't some playboy. How had he earned the reputation of being a pervert? His public image was being unfairly tarnished!
No way—this little brat needed to be taught a lesson. He only had eight wives at most! Among divine-level experts, who didn't have a harem behind closed doors? And yet she dared to slander him? Did she really think his blade was dull?!
"Enough!"
Ye Wen roared in a low voice, his aura growing even stronger, rendering Ice Empress immobile.
But Ice Empress was like one of those stubborn fools who refused to back down even in the face of death. She continued muttering under her breath, refusing to yield, making Ye Wen's expression grow darker and darker.
Finally, Ye Wen couldn't take it anymore and took direct action.
"Mmmph—"
A seal silenced Ice Empress, finally bringing peace to Ye Wen's ears.
Despite her small stature, Ice Empress's fighting spirit was surprisingly strong. Her lively eyes seemed to speak volumes as they continued to taunt Ye Wen.
So you've finally laid your hands on me, you pervert. I knew you were this kind of person.
Ye Wen was furious!!! How dare she keep provoking him when he wasn't retaliating.
And besides, her petite loli figure wasn't even on his radar. Did she think she was Ah Yin from back in the day?
Ignoring her status as the Ice Empress, Ye Wen placed her across his lap and swiftly began spanking her.
*Slap slap slap—*
After just a few rounds, Ice Empress was nearly beside herself. This man she despised had dared to touch her sacred spot—the one she had reserved for Snow Empress!
But
Damn it! Did being powerful really give him the right to do whatever he wanted? At this moment, Ice Empress realized she couldn't even muster the strength to lift a finger in resistance.
This humiliating punishment made Ice Empress silently vow to train harder in the future and exact revenge for this disgrace.
After delivering over a dozen slaps, Ye Wen's anger finally subsided. He released his suppression and tossed the little loli back to her seat.
"Now, I'll speak, and you'll listen. No more nonsense, or don't blame me for dragging you in front of your beloved Snow Empress and repeating this punishment."
Faced with Ye Wen's menacing threat, Ice Empress backed down.
Indeed, for the sake of the person she loved, even if she were covered in bruises, Ice Empress didn't want Snow Empress to see her in such a negative light.
With his temper cooled, Ye Wen organized his thoughts and looked at Ice Empress.
"I'll say it again—you and Snow Empress have no future together."
Because of what had just happened, Ice Empress didn't dare to explode this time. She could only humbly listen as Ye Wen continued.
"However, I don't oppose your daily interactions with Snow Empress. If you manage to develop a relationship with her, I won't stop you. After all, Snow Empress is my wife, not a tool. She has her own life."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress's expression changed instantly. She looked at Ye Wen as if seeing him in a new light—as if he weren't such a bad guy after all.
Damn it, he wanted to hit her again.
Ah, forget it. Since he had already taken away her first love entirely, letting her vent a little didn't hurt.
