Since a decision had been made, Ye Ming decided to personally return to the Divine Mandate Hall this time.
Three years!
It had been three years since he left the Divine Mandate Hall without realizing it.
To be honest, he missed them quite a bit.
"Sephira, their safety is entrusted to you."
After Ye Ming informed everyone of his decision, the protection of Nangong Qianyu and the others had to be handed over to Sephira.
"Yes! Lord Divine Master! Your subordinate will swear to protect the safety of the main consorts with my life!"
"Mm!"
Sephira possessed the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Object Observation Realm, equivalent to an ancient martial artist at the Martial Emperor realm. With him around, few people could harm Nangong Qianyu and the others.
Then Ye Ming looked at the women and comforted them, "Don't worry, if everything goes smoothly, I should be back in two to three hours!"
This time, when he returned to the Divine Mandate Hall, he would naturally use a spatial portal.
The Divine Mandate Hall naturally had spatial coordinates set up within it.
"Mm! Come back soon!"
Fang Junxue said softly.
Nangong Qianyu and Bai Qiushui both nodded.
Then, before everyone's eyes, Ye Ming tore open a black rift with his bare hands.
Just by seeing this rift, everyone felt a sense of oppression.
Nangong Qianyu, in particular, harbored fear in her heart.
"Is this the Divine Master's power?"
Sephira looked at the void before him, his reverence growing even stronger.
"Alright! I'm leaving!"
As Ye Ming entered the rift, the rift began to shrink slowly after his figure completely disappeared, until no trace of it could be found in the air.
...
At the same time, the headquarters of the Divine Mandate Hall.
Within the Divine Mandate Hall, there were actually a total of seven divine palaces.
Six of them were where the six Divine Kings resided.
If viewed from high above, one would find that these six divine palaces were arranged in a specific shape. If they were connected by straight lines, they would form a six-pointed star pattern.
And in the very center of the six-pointed star was the location of the seventh divine palace.
It was named: the Divine Mandate Palace.
At this moment, within the Divine Mandate Palace, a dark spatial rift suddenly appeared. And then, a mysterious young man walked out of that rift.
"Hoo!"
Ye Ming took a deep breath, sighing with emotion, "A familiar feeling after so long!"
Glancing at the furnishings around him, they were exactly the same as when he left. Seeing this, Ye Ming was very pleased.
Not only that, but there was almost no dust to be seen on these furnishings and the floor.
Clearly, this place was also cleaned regularly.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly heard some movement outside the room, and then he walked out.
But when he opened the door, he happened to see a blonde girl in a maid outfit holding a broom and sweeping the dust on the floor.
The girl had a round face, a small nose, and small mouth, and her pair of blue eyes were very cute. She was about 1.65 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body, every curve in place.
Judging solely by her appearance, she was definitely a beautiful Western girl.
The sound of the door opening naturally attracted the girl's attention.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then...
"Ah!"
After a scream, the girl nervously squatted on the ground, shouting incessantly,
"Help! A thief! A thief has broken into the Divine Mandate Palace!"
Seeing this, Ye Ming subconsciously stepped forward to cover the girl's mouth and hurriedly said, "Don't shout! I'm not a thief!"
"Mmmph!"
The girl struggled incessantly, her eyes as big as copper bells filled with fear.
But as an ordinary person, how could she break free from Ye Ming's grasp.
"If you don't shout, I'll let you go, okay?"
Ye Ming comforted her in a soft voice.
Upon hearing this, the girl stopped struggling, seeming to calm down, and then nodded.
"Okay! I'll let you go now!"
But after Ye Ming released his hand, before he could ask her any questions, the girl had already run out with all her might, still shouting, "Help! Someone has trespassed into the Divine Mandate Palace!"
It was important to know that within the Divine Mandate Hall, the Divine Mandate Palace where Ye Ming was located was considered the foremost forbidden area. After his departure, one could only enter with the approval of the Goddess of Wisdom, Loria.
If anyone dared to trespass into the Divine Mandate Palace without authorization, they would be executed immediately if caught.
There was no room for negotiation.
To everyone in the Divine Mandate Hall, the Divine Mandate Palace was their holy land. Those who dared to defile the holy land would suffer the wrath of the gods and be reduced to nothing.
Ye Ming saw the girl still shouting loudly, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.
Then, with a light leap, his body instantly appeared before the girl.
Seeing a person suddenly appear before her, the girl had no time to brake and ran straight into Ye Ming's arms.
"Yo! Little sister, I didn't expect you to be so proactive!" Ye Ming casually put his arm around the girl's slender waist and teased.
"You... you let me go quickly!" The girl kept hitting Ye Ming's chest with her small fists, her voice trembling as she pleaded, "Please let me go quickly, or I will be punished by the gods!"
Punished by the gods?
What did that mean?
"Tell me why you will be punished by the gods, and I will let you go!" Ye Ming asked curiously.
"Wuwuwu!"
But before Ye Ming could get a reply from the girl, she had already burst into tears.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? I haven't done anything to you yet?"
This time, Ye Ming was a little dumbfounded.
"Wuwuwu! I'm unclean, and the divine lord will surely blame me! Wuwuwu!"
The girl's tears grew bigger and bigger, her crying louder and louder, and she kept muttering "I'm unclean."
"What the heck! What's going on?"
Helpless, Ye Ming could only release the girl and comfort her softly, "I was wrong, okay? Don't cry!"
If she continued to cry like this, Ye Ming felt like he was a heinous person.
Seeing that he had let her go, the girl's crying slowly stopped. But in her big blue eyes, tears were still welling up.
"Now can you tell me why you will be punished by the gods?"
Ye Ming was always curious about this.
If it were according to normal logic, he should be the one to be punished by the gods.
But the girl said it was herself.
"Hmph! It's all your fault!"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, the girl was no longer afraid and shouted at Ye Ming.
"I! I didn't do anything!"
This made Ye Ming even more confused.
Did nothing?
Hearing this sentence completely enraged the girl. She pointed her hands at Ye Ming, "After you touched my body, it became unclean!" As she said this, tears flowed from her eyes again, and she choked with grievance, "As a maid of God, I was destined to serve the noble gods my whole life. But now I am unclean, which is infidelity to the gods! I should be punished by God!"
What?
She became unclean just by being hugged!
"????" Ye Ming!
