Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 223 A Tacit Understanding Between a Man and a Dog

"Don't look at me like that, it scares me..." Ye Fan said.

The way these people were staring at him was really inappropriate. They were all staring at him as if he were some kind of stunning beauty, their eyes filled with an almost predatory hunger.

"Ahem, Little Yezi, if I remember correctly, you are the Ancient Sacred Body, right?"

Duan Deqing coughed twice and then spoke.

“I remember this kid also had a very special physique. So it really is the Ancient Sacred Body…” Black Emperor also stared at Ye Fan, his eyes flashing.

“Brother Ye, I have indeed heard of a person who is a holy maiden and a legendary innate Dao embryo.” Wang Teng also spoke up, looking at Ye Fan seriously.

"Is that so? Then quickly introduce that little girl to Ye Fan and let them chat!" Black Emperor said excitedly.

I originally thought that the innate sacred body and Dao embryo were something that could only be encountered by chance, but now two key figures have appeared. As long as we can trick them into coming together, the innate sacred body and Dao embryo will surely appear in this life!
"Calm down! I'm still young! Don't think so far ahead!" Ye Fan quickly said.

“You’re not young anymore. At your age, you could actually be getting married and having children! Some people I know are even younger than you, but their kids are already quite grown up!” Duan De said leisurely.

"Indeed, whether we look at the present or back hundreds of thousands of years, you are old enough to marry and have children. And you should have heard that the other party's identity is very extraordinary. She is a holy maiden of a holy land, more than a match for you. Moreover, as an ancient holy body, you need a massive amount of resources to break through. If you were to do it alone, even if you mastered the Origin Book and became a true Origin Master, it would be difficult to accumulate that much Origin. You need the help of a powerful force to truly cross that threshold."

Black Emperor spoke very seriously.

Having known each other for so long, this was the first time they had seen Black Emperor so serious.

Even Ye Fan, seeing how serious the Black Emperor was, subconsciously began to consider the matter.

"Let's forget about it..." Ye Fan shook his head again.

“Actually, I don’t think we need to push too hard…” Duan De suddenly said.

Just as Ye Fan looked at Duan De gratefully, thinking that this guy was speaking up for him, he heard Duan De speak again, "After all, Ye Fan and that Holy Maiden haven't even met yet. What if we finally manage to persuade this guy, only to find that she doesn't like him? That would be so awkward..."

Upon hearing Duan De's words, the people present were taken aback for a moment, and then they all felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Alright, alright, I think that makes a lot of sense too. Let's not try to persuade her anymore. Let's wait until we see that saintess first," the Black Emperor said.

“Amitabha, this humble monk also feels that Benefactor Ye’s opinion is not that important.” Wu Liang put his hands together and spoke very seriously.

"I don't mind. If Brother Ye is willing, I can even help him kidnap that saintess," Wang Teng said with a smile.

"No, no, no, please don't! I don't want to be hunted down by a new holy land." Ye Fan quickly shook his head.

He had been hunted down by several ancient holy lands and aristocratic families for quite some time, and now he didn't want to cause any more trouble; he just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life.

But he was still very dissatisfied with what these people said. What did they mean by saying his opinion wasn't important?
He's one of the people involved!

Judging from what these people are saying, it seems like they want to force themselves on her.
"Don't worry too much. Even if that so-called saintess agrees, I might not. My requirements are very high!"

Ye Fan spoke.

The others glanced at him upon hearing this, but Duan De was the first to speak, "Hahaha, you're so funny!"

"I never knew you were so interesting," Black Emperor chuckled in agreement.

"What do you mean by this? Are you really going to force yourself on me?" Ye Fan asked with a dark face.

"No, we don't have that idea yet. We just think you're too confident. You're thinking so much before we've even started. The biggest problem right now is whether that Holy Maiden will even look at you. After all, she's a Holy Maiden of a Holy Land. Although the Ancient Holy Body is powerful, it's practically useless in the eyes of this kind of person nowadays. So our suggestion is that you just marry into her family!"

Duan De spoke up, offering his opinions with a cheerful smile.

Duan De's words immediately won the approval of the group of people around him.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even the notoriously stingy Black Emperor publicly stated that Ye Fan was his beloved pet, and he was, after all, the master. So, if Ye Fan were to marry into the family, he, as the master, would definitely provide a dowry to ensure that Ye Fan would have some dignity after marrying into the family and wouldn't be treated like an ordinary live-in son-in-law and bullied too much.

His words immediately won Duan De's approval. The man and the dog, who had just been at odds with each other, looked at each other with mutual respect in their eyes.

"Get out! Do you still want to explore Purple Mountain? If not, I'm leaving!" Ye Fan said with a dark face.

He has never suffered such an injustice in all these years!
"I remember you were getting quite close to that girl from the Ji family, you wouldn't have..." Duan De suddenly remembered something and asked.

“Oh! You should have said so earlier! I am very familiar with some of the ancestors of the Ji family and have visited their residences before. If you and Little Moon of the Ji family are really in love, I don’t mind helping you out again and having a good talk with those ancestors of the Ji family. I believe that with our requests, they will definitely seriously consider my ideas.”

Duan De spoke as if he were sacrificing himself, but everyone knew what he meant by being "very familiar"—it was nothing more than this guy going to the Ji family to rob tombs, and he could even talk about it so confidently.

However, it must be said that this is indeed very Duan De.

"Don't talk nonsense! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been hunted down so badly by the Ji family. We were almost at the point of having a serious talk, but you went to the Ji family's ancestral tombs and caused damage, which led to me being hunted down again." Ye Fan said with a dark face, clearly unhappy about the incident.

Because they almost managed to sit down and have a serious talk back then. Due to the relationship between Ji Haoyue and Wang Teng, and with Ji Ziyue expressing her stance, some members of the Ji family were indeed willing to sit down and have a serious talk with Ye Fan.

"How can you blame me? Wasn't it because you spoke recklessly, yelling that if they chased after you again, you would attack their ancestral graves? My target was the Ji family, who knew you would say that!" Duan De said innocently.

"Of course, if I had known you would say that, I would have... gone even further!"

P.S.: I'm devastated. I lost my perfect attendance bonus last month.
