The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 678 Happy to see the results
"Yes! We're back!" Li Daoming nodded slightly, and then, somewhat smugly and impatiently, announced to Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian that the Ruthless Empress had agreed to marry him, and that he would hold a grand wedding with her five thousand years later.

"What? The ruthless sister agreed to marry you? You're going to marry the ruthless sister five thousand years from now?" Ye Liuxian exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

Not only Ye Liuxian, but also Ye Yixian and Ye Yunxian were shocked, their eyes constantly shifting between Li Daoming and the Ruthless Empress.

It seems to be asking Li Daoming, "Are you really that brave? How dare you spout nonsense in front of that ruthless woman, even saying you'll marry her five thousand years from now?"

It seemed to be saying, "Don't talk nonsense, lest you just calm down the tough sister after resolving the matter, only to provoke her again."

It seems like the question is being asked of the ruthless empress: Is this true? Haven't you always been dissatisfied with him and even somewhat disgusted by him? Why did you suddenly agree to marry him?

……

At this moment, facing the probing gazes of Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, Li Daoming appeared remarkably composed. Meanwhile, the ruthless empress beside him slightly turned her head, her eyes flickering, deliberately avoiding the three women's gazes. She offered no explanation, seemingly with a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness, as if she had tacitly agreed with Li Daoming's words.

Seeing the different expressions on the two people's faces, Ye Yixian and the other two parted their cherry lips slightly, their eyes shimmering, and were so surprised that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

When they heard Li Daoming's words, their first reaction was that he was joking or trying to provoke and anger the ruthless empress.

However, seeing the two people's different expressions at this moment, especially the ruthless empress's reaction, they couldn't help but believe that this was not a joke.

Based on their understanding of the ruthless empress, if this wasn't true, she would definitely have a strong reaction the moment she heard Li Daoming's words.

Her expression would most likely become extremely indifferent, her face would darken, her gaze would be as cold as a knife, radiating a suffocating low pressure, staring directly at Li Daoming with murderous eyes, telling him not to talk nonsense, or even directly attacking him.

But now, instead of having these strong reactions, she seemed somewhat embarrassed and shy, as if she had already tacitly agreed to Li Daoming's words and promised to marry him five thousand years later.

But how is this possible?

She had been seen naked by Li Daoming before, and she was filled with murderous intent, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

In the past, even though she owed Li Daoming many favors, she still disliked him very much and was very dissatisfied and even disgusted by his lechery and covetousness.

How could she suddenly agree to marry him five thousand years later after just one trip to the Boundary Sea?

This sudden change filled Ye Yixian and the other two with doubt and confusion.

"Ruthless sister, are you really going to agree to marry him five thousand years from now?" Ye Yixian asked.

Although she had already gotten the answer from their expressions, the matter was of great importance, and she couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Hmm!" The ruthless empress no longer remained silent and nodded slightly.

"Ruthless sister, why did you suddenly agree to marry him? Didn't you never really like him?" Ye Liuxian asked curiously.

They neither objected to nor were dissatisfied with the ruthless empress marrying Li Daoming; in fact, they were happy to see it happen.

Li Daoming had made it very clear long ago that he liked the ruthless empress and had long coveted her. Logically, they should have been jealous and dissatisfied, but in reality, they weren't.

Because Li Daoming has too many concubines, numbering in the thousands, and every ten thousand years he will take in dozens or hundreds more new concubines. In another hundred thousand years, his number of concubines will definitely exceed ten thousand.

If they were jealous or resentful that Li Daoming had other women, they wouldn't be able to do anything else in their lives; they'd probably be stuck being jealous forever.

Moreover, the ruthless empress is their older sister, and they have an extremely close relationship.

They all married Li Daoming except her, so she was a bit of a loner. They had some private conversations that they didn't feel comfortable sharing with her.

In addition, because all three of them married Li Daoming, they could practice a special technique to enhance their connection, allowing them to understand each other's thoughts and feelings, which would greatly benefit their enlightenment and spiritual practice.

Since the ruthless empress did not marry Li Daoming, she could not cultivate with them. Otherwise, she would have been able to empathize with their dual cultivation with Li Daoming.

But if she also married Li Daoming, she wouldn't have this concern, and she could cultivate that technique with them, strengthening their bond and making them as close as one.

With the addition of another person, and one who is a ruthless empress whose comprehension and talent surpass their own, their cultivation progress will be even faster.

In addition, although they had a better relationship with Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua because Li Daoming had used tricks to force them to sleep together, they often fought against Li Daoming together.

However, some competition still exists among them, a competition over their cultivation level and their social status...

With the ruthless empress joining them, they will definitely have a greater advantage over Xia Qinghuang and her group, and completely overwhelm them.

Therefore, they not only did not object to the ruthless empress marrying Li Daoming, but were actually happy to see it happen.

In the past, at Li Daoming's instigation, they had helped him many times, trying to win over the ruthless empress and get her to marry him, but they all failed.

In the end, she became so annoyed that she used the excuse of a friendly sparring match to teach them a lesson and warn them not to help Li Daoming anymore.

Unexpectedly, after trying so many methods without success, she suddenly succeeded, especially when she was filled with murderous intent and wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces.

This made Ye Liuxian very curious. What method did Li Daoming use to melt the ancient iceberg that was the Ruthless Empress?
"Ask him yourselves!" The ruthless empress's usually cold and aloof face flushed slightly, too embarrassed to speak.

Are you expecting her to tell them that she was kissed by him again and again, and that the kisses made her fall in love? And then, in a state of infatuation, she agreed to marry him? And that he forcefully gave her two choices, forcing her to agree to marry him five thousand years later?

She felt that if she really spoke out, they would certainly be angry with Li Daoming and indignant at how he bullied her, but they would also tease her, especially Ye Liuxian.

She was pampered by Li Daoming and the Ye family during her childhood. Like her, she was aloof and distant when facing outsiders, but she was very lively when facing her own people, showing a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Before she severed ties with her, she often tried to use their connection to stir her heartstrings, to make her less aloof and indifferent, and to get her to agree to let her marry Li Daoming, or even marry Li Daoming with her.

She now suspects that the reason she fell for Li Daoming after he forcibly kissed her was because of Ye Yixian.
