Ji Chen waited for a while outside the palace.

Not long after, a figure was seen walking slowly towards the palace.

This is a young woman with thick black hair and a silver crown on her head. She looks like a female general on the battlefield, full of heroism and as brave as any man.

Ye Xi is the daughter of the Night King.

It is said that when she was sixteen years old, she was already a powerful warrior in the Spirit Transformation Realm. She followed the Night King in the battlefield for several years and grew up amazingly. Now she is one of the top ten masters of the younger generation in the Holy Dynasty, and her cultivation has reached the Guixu Realm.

"Cousin Ji Chen?"

She was heroic yet elegant. She came in front of Ji Chen with a faint smile on her face, revealing two dimples.

"you are?"

Ji Chen looked at her, obviously not knowing her origins.

However, it can be seen that this woman has an extraordinary temperament and is most likely the jewel of the Night King's Palace.

"My name is Yeqi. In terms of seniority, your mother is my cousin, and I am one or two years older than you. Is it okay for me to call you my cousin?" she said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Ye Qi had already taken Ji Chen to King Ye's Palace.

Soon, they arrived at a hall.

Looking around, there was only one person sitting in the hall, a middle-aged man with a majestic look on his face, wearing a royal robe. If what he expected was correct, this should be the famous Night King of the Holy Dynasty.

Ji Chen did not dare to neglect him, and walked closer, then bowed and said, "Ji Chen greets Senior Ye Wang."

"No need to be so restrained. You and I are family. Just call me your cousin."

The Night King put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ji Chen. There was a gleam of light in his deep eyes, as if it could see through people's hearts.

Ji Chen was silent for a moment, then he bowed again and said, "Meet my cousin."

"Good good."

The Night King laughed, giving people a very generous feeling, "You all sit down."

"Yes."

Ji Chen nodded, and then he and Ye Qi sat on both sides of the Night King, one on the left and one on the right.

"I've heard about everything about you. Nine spiritual veins and the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body. Such talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times." He looked at Ji Chen with a pair of eyes that seemed a little hot, as if he was looking at a treasure.

"Ye Qi admires you very much and has been eager to meet you. When you just arrived in the Holy City yesterday, she was still in seclusion. After hearing the news, she almost broke into the Holy Palace alone." King Ye said with a smile.

Ji Chen was startled, and looked at Ye Qi who was sitting opposite him. "The princess is a talented woman, and her cultivation has reached the Guixu realm or above. Although Ji Chen is a little famous, he is just a commoner. How can he be worthy of her..."

"Cousin, you're joking, aren't you?"

But Ye Qi smiled and said, "How can you say that your divine body is just famous when it shocks the East Wilderness? Moreover, although you have not yet reached the Guixu Realm, your combat power is already beyond the reach of ordinary Guixu Realm masters. After all, even Lingtian Pavilion's Great Elder Jiang Yuan, a third-level Guixu Realm master, was killed by you."

She was not exaggerating. Over this period of time, Ye Qi had already heard everything about Ji Chen.

This is an absolute genius, and his strength cannot be restricted by cultivation.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Ji Chen smiled modestly.

The two of them chatted among themselves and even forgot about the Night King.

After a long while, Ye Wang took another sip of tea, looked at Ye Qi, then looked at Ji Chen, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Ye Qi?"

Ji Chen was startled when he heard this, and spoke subconsciously, "The princess is one of the few pearls of the Holy Dynasty. There are few young people who can compare to her. She is definitely not an ordinary person."

"That's not what I'm asking." The Night King smiled again.

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment before he reacted, a dumbfounded expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Even those who were sitting opposite him at night were a little dumbfounded.

"Father, Ji Chen and I are cousins, please don't talk nonsense." She couldn't help but speak.

"Although they are cousins, they are actually much more distant than it sounds. They are not as close as you might imagine." The Night King said with a smile.

This is indeed the case. To be honest, the bloodline of the Night Palace in Ji Chen's body is very minimal.

This strand of his bloodline originated from Cheng Yun, the Night King's cousin.

By the time of Ruoxi's generation, it had almost completely faded, not to mention Ji Chen's generation.

Although they are cousins, in reality, they are almost non-cousins.

That's why the Night King wanted to poke the two of them.

However, his words were a little too sudden, catching Ji Chen and Ye Qi off guard.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Seeing that the two were speechless and sitting there awkwardly, the Night King changed the topic.

He looked at Ji Chen again, "Have you ever met the Saint Emperor? Did he tell you anything?"

Ji Chen remained silent and pondered for a moment, then simply recounted the conversation between him and the Saint Emperor.

After listening to this, Ye Wang's eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Holy Emperor still likes Aunt Cheng Yun, otherwise he wouldn't have conveyed these meanings to you."

"Regarding the matter that the Holy Emperor will summon all the civil and military officials in the court in three days, I just happened to receive a secret letter before you came."

"The divine body can sever the fate of the country and will indeed help you. Moreover, the intention of the Holy Emperor is very clear. As long as you nod and agree, he may even announce in public in front of the imperial palace in three days that you will be named the Holy Son."

"Ji Chen, do you really have no interest in the position of Holy Emperor?" he asked seriously.

Ji Chen smiled and said, "The so-called imperial power is nothing but smoke to me. This is not what I pursue."

Ye Wang didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at Ji Chen blankly, and finally said, "The thing that Su Nancheng dreams of is so insignificant in your eyes. I don't know if he would cry or laugh if he knew about this."

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, the Night King suddenly flipped his palm.

Inside the hall, the space shook slightly, and then a purple light flashed, illuminating the surroundings.

A large purple bow appeared in the Night King's hand, and he gently stroked it.

After a long moment, he looked at Ji Chen again, "Do you know what this is?"

Ji Chen shook his head, but he could feel that there was a faint extraordinary aura emanating from the purple bow. It was extremely shocking, as if it contained some kind of power of the great way of heaven and earth, which made people dare not underestimate it.

"This is 'Cheng Yun Gong'." The Night King spoke.

Ji Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this, as if he had thought of something.

"This was something that belonged to Miss Cheng Yun in the past. When she left the Holy Dynasty and married into the Yun Kingdom, she left this bow in the Night Palace, and it has remained there until today."

"I thought that this bow would be placed in the Night King's Palace forever, but now that you are here, I have to hand it over to you."

As he spoke, he handed over the large purple bow.
