--- Chapter 62 ---
Drifting River City, Yu Clan.
"Phew, we finally arrived at home!" Yu Xin let out a satisfied yawn.
After traveling for roughly three months, she was happy spending quality time with her family. They have visited countless cities and enjoyed many natural places of tourism.
In the past, Yu Xin couldn't even dream of stepping outside the Drifting River City. She felt thankful to her son for creating the artifact so she could move freely without exposing herself to the Four Great Sacred Lands.
'But still... The possible daughter-in-law increased by two in just a few months.' Yu Xin glanced at Cang Yue and Chu Yueli.
Yu Xin doesn't know whether she should cry or laugh at her son's greatness.
Of course, she doesn't have a problem with Yu Long having more than one wife. After all, polygamy is 'normal' here.In the past, Yu Xin heard a king of a distant nation had over three hundred concubines.
"Yu Long, you better treat them well." Yu Xin gazed at her son's golden eyes.
"What?" Yu Long responded in confusion.
"Treat who?"
"Just remember my advice." Yu Xin shook her head because Yu Long was sometimes such a goofball, but he was not that dense. He caught hints very quickly.
She glanced at Xia Qingyue and smiled, "Qingyue, monitor him well."
"If you ever see him gone astray, you must lead him to a proper path."
"..." Yu Long's mouth twitched.
What do you mean by gone astray?
If I want to be a horrible person, this world won't be this peaceful anymore.
And this statement is true.
Even in his first life, Yu Long didn't know the limits of [Kaiju Maker].
He was 'simply' limited by the essence of an immature mutated world.
However, this world is different. Yu Long can trace everything back to the primordial era where Gods and Devils lived.
He might even touch the beginning of Primal Chaos.
Xia Qingyue's face brightened as she replied, "Leave it to me, M-Mother!"
"Aww, you're so adorable~!" Yu Xin hugged her soon-to-be daughter.
Meanwhile, Lan Shirou nudged her daughter a little.
"Don't lose to Qingyue."
"Remember, Yu Long is your champion."
"Your chance isn't low."
"Mother, how could you say that? Yu Long and I are too young..." Cang Yue refuted Lan Shirou's words. However, the blush on her fair cheeks failed to hide emotion.
Lan Shirou shook her head because having a relationship with a talented youth like Yu Long is the key to the future. She wasn't the opportunistic kind of a woman as she was 'originally' a farmer girl who luckily met the young Blue Wind Empire's emperor years ago.
She has taught her daughter how to be a virtuous, kindhearted, and humble lady.
Right now, what Cang Yue needs is more confidence and drive to build her future.
Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan walked to the Yu Long and said, "We are going to visit the Eternal Night Royal Family's hidden ancestral burial ground."
"Do you want to follow us?"
"We talked about this to your parents a while back."
"No, thanks." Yu Long answered casually.
"Hehe, I know you'd say that." Xu Sanshan chuckled helplessly. "You heard him, Nannan."
Xu Nannan sighed and commented, "Fine, you win."
"Are you betting on my decision?" Yu Long was speechless.
"Something like that." They answered simultaneously.
The grandparents glanced at each other and laughed.
"Come on..."
Yu Long felt his grandparents were so unreliable.
"If you want to arouse my interest, bring me some souvenirs when you return instead."
"What kind?"
"I don't know, artifacts, profound arts' records, or maybe Eternal Night Royal Family's remains... Something like bones or their essence blood."
"..." Xu Sanshan.
"..." Xu Nannan.
This brat literally asked them to escape their ancestors' tomb.
"Seriously?"
"Serious, Serious." Yu Long affirmed twice with a smile on his face.
Xu Sanshan pondered about this matter for a second. As the oldest royal member in this era, he could decide what to do regarding the Eternal Night Royal Family before Yu Long wanted to inherit this position.
Taking some remains of the death would be deemed immoral no matter how one sees it.
However, Xu Sanshan has witnessed Yu Long's prowess in profound patterns and aspects.
The youngest prince is a real deal!
If their ancestors' remains could push Yu Long's research even further, giving some shouldn't be a problem. Xu Sanshan was sure the ancestors would understand his decision.
It's only natural.
"Very well. We'll be back in one or two months." Xu Sanshan replied positively.
"See you soon, grandson!" Xu Nannan waved her hand and bade farewell to others before vanishing.
Waving his hand back, Yu Long expected his grandparents to bring surprising gifts.
Yu Long turned around and said, "Well, it's time to do our job properly."
"The holiday is over."
...
One day later.
With the addition of Cang Yue and Chu Yueli, Yu Long's courtyard became more vibrant.
One is the princess of the Blue Wind Empire.
The other is the fairy of the Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Their status did hold some weight.
"Hong Guan, Lily." Yu Long called for his maids.
"Yes, Young Master. What's your command?" They responded while standing before him.
Yu Long rubbed his chin and said, "Hong Guan, give me a report about the main headquarters's situation in the last three months."
"Lily checks the array formation around Tanky."
"Okay."
"Easy peasy!"
They disappeared like fleeting shadows, shocking Cang Yue and Chu Yueli.
'So fast, they are at least Tyrant Profound Realm Experts...' Chu Yueli thought solemnly. She gazed at Yu Long, finding this situation rather ridiculous.
However, it seems she was making a great choice to be his servant.
So what if the Frozen Cloud Asgard experiences a calamity? As long as Yu Long was here, the so-called 'calamity' is nothing.
"Don't stare at me like that." Yu Long waved his hand at Chu Yueli. "What you know and have seen about me is a mere tip of the iceberg."
"You'll learn things slowly."
"The same goes for you, Xueruo."
"Understood." Cang Yue nodded with a smile. She was happy when Yu Long called her 'Xueruo' instead of the princess.
"What about me?" Xia Qingyue pulled the corner of Yu Long's sleeve. She looks adorable when asking this question.
Yu Long chuckled, "Just focus on integrating [Art Series] into your [Ocean Quake Symbols]. Your technique has potential, Qingyue, believe me."
After watching Xia Qingyue match Chu Yueli's ice wave a week ago, Yu Long recalled that her profound art was similar to Whitebeard's Tremor Tremor Fruit(Gura Gura no Mi) Ability.
Of course, Gura Gura no Mi wasn't as good as [Ocean Quake Symbols].
After all, [Ocean Quake Symbols] could still grow by integrating more profound arts.
In Xia Qingyue's hand, [Ocean Quake Symbols] will become a profound art that shakes heaven and earth.
"Hmm, I mastered Water and Lightning..." Xia Qingyue mumbled to herself. "What element should I add next?"
"Wind." Yu Long advised. "Wind is versatile, and you can increase the range of your vibration with it. Remember, you have learned 'shockwave' from my science book."
"Then, I'll add [Art of Wind] to my profound art." Xia Qingyue pumped her fist excitedly. After that, Xia Qingyue gave Yu Long's cheek a smooch to mark her territory and went to her room.
The corner of Cang Yue's mouth twitched, "This girl..."
"My past actions are foolish." Chu Yueli sighed in defeat.
She wanted to separate a girl like Xia Qingyue from Yu Long. What a big dream she had.
Yu Long walked away and said, "Follow me."
"From now on, you will be Shadow Realm's Shadow Brides."
"You must maintain sector zones under Shadow Realm's jurisdiction and serve me."
"Chu Yueli, you'll be responsible for the North Sector."
"Xueruo, you'll be responsible for the West Sector."
"Don't make mistakes because you will face heavy consequences." Yu Long led them to the underground facility and opened a new world for both ladies.
"T-This is..." Chu Yueli trembled in fear.
"..." Cang Yue felt her legs become jelly.
What they currently saw is a massive yard with countless Shadow Agents walking around. Each of them possesses the power to destroy any noble clans and even sects in the Profound Sky Continent.
They also noticed a massive hole where arrays flowed down and generated more profound strength in the atmosphere.
This place is a hundred, if a thousand, times better than the outside world.
Yu Long opened his arms and stated, "Welcome to the Shadow Realm."
