Chapter 8 The Eighth Heavenly Layer
The eighth heavenly layer, with clouds swirling, rainbows serving as celestial ladders, and seas of flowers, where cranes chirped like insects. Ye Yun walked on the celestial ladder, feeling half-asleep amidst the passing clouds.
In the distance, pavilions and towers stood on a massive square at the end of the celestial ladder, resembling a world between heaven and earth.
The eighth heavenly layer was the Great Emperor's imperial harem, the residence of Ye Yun's future empress and concubines. Besides these, countless other courtyards for maids to reside and cultivate were scattered around each palace.
On this heavenly layer, no one but Ye Yun and the empress could fly.
"Ten thousand three thousand steps of the celestial ladder, misty palaces and evergreen terraces for ten thousand years." Ye Yun did not fly, but instead, stepped on the celestial ladder one by one.
The clouds were like a sea, the celestial ladder like a boat, and the palaces and towers resembled a vast island, a city in the heavens.
"This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty!" Ding Yi knelt on the celestial ladder, her green robe flowing with her dark, cascading hair. Gone was the professional attire, the black silk stockings, replaced by an ancient charm that held a unique beauty within the game.
"Sister Ding Yi, what are you doing here?" Ye Yun was startled, not expecting Ding Yi to be on the celestial ladder.
"This concubine has been waiting for Your Majesty here for over ten days." Ding Yi looked at Ye Yun, her eyes darting away with a hint of shyness, while inwardly cursing Ye Yun for being so dense.
*This concubine, this concubine, I've said it twice already. How can this blockhead's strength increase so quickly, yet his mind remains so dull!*
"Ten days? Surely Sister Ding Yi must be bored here alone? How about I find some other women to keep you company?" Ye Yun was taken aback. He used his divine sense to help Ding Yi up and then wandered around the eighth heavenly layer, discovering that besides the two of them, no one else was present in the entire space.
Ding Yi's current strength had broken through the Main God realm. However, due to her personality, she spent very little time in the Heavenly Dao, mostly busy in the real world. If Ye Yun hadn't supplied her with exquisite wines daily, her strength would likely have stagnated at the Great Sage realm.
"Being bored is not the case… it's just… I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you." Ding Yi looked at Ye Yun, lowering her head and fiddling with her sleeves, her entire face flushed red.
This…
Ye Yun froze instantly, his immense power suddenly feeling somewhat out of place.
Although he had a girlfriend who was a campus belle before, in the several years they dated, he had never even held her hand.
"I… I miss you too…" Ye Yun stammered. He had somewhat sensed Ding Yi's feelings for him before, but his mind was solely focused on improving his strength. Great Wind Novel Network.
"That's good. I… I thought you might have changed with your current strength and status." Hearing Ye Yun's words, Ding Yi looked up in surprise, took two steps forward, and took Ye Yun's somewhat bewildered hands, then threw herself into his embrace.
"Sister Ding Yi, you…" Ye Yun felt his heart pounding.
"Don't speak, hold me, kiss me…" Ding Yi wrapped her arms around Ye Yun's waist, closed her eyes, and tilted her head up, her flushed face betraying her own nervousness.
*Damn! Are girls this proactive now?* Ye Yun's first instinct was to turn and run, but he was held by Ding Yi and had no chance.
Looking at the girl waiting for his response, Ye Yun swallowed and then suddenly kissed her.
Hm?
Silky smooth and with a hint of fragrance. Is this what kissing feels like?
Does it really taste like fatty pork, as some otaku online described it?
Ye Yun felt a touch of pride at his ability to remain calm and think at this moment.
However, before Ye Yun could react, his mind and body were completely consumed by a gentle caress.
Boom…
Ye Yun's scalp tingled.
Swirling clouds, blooming seas of flowers.
One day later…
In the empress's exclusive sleeping quarters on the eighth heavenly layer, Ye Yun looked at the sleeping Ding Yi, a different kind of tenderness in his eyes. After several rounds, even Ding Yi, in the Main God realm, could hardly endure.
At this very moment, Ye Yun actually had the thought of having a child…
"It seems this imperial harem is too desolate. I need to recruit some palace maids and servants from below," Ye Yun muttered, looking at the still sleeping Ding Yi, his consciousness sinking into the Heavenly Dao.
He hadn't entered the Heavenly Dao for over ten days and had no idea what the situation was like inside.
Ye Yun opened his eyes. He was still standing outside the plaza on the eighth layer of the Great Dao, and he didn't know where that black ant had gone. So, Ye Yun decided to walk down the divine mountain step by step while checking his system information.

Ye Yun stared at the system prompts, forgetting to continue walking. Seeing tens of millions of Divine Stones added to his inventory, he was stunned.
That black ant was simply a tireless killing machine! In more than ten days, the number of creatures killed by him was nearly three million! He also destroyed a secret realm of the Angel God Race! This combat power far surpassed the entire military force of the Ten Directions Empire!
After checking everything, Ye Yun descended along the Great Dao, then summoned the Golden Crow to fly to a nearby avenue. He rested for a while under a statue of a beastman, then headed straight for the mountain peak.
