Chapter 14 Sign-in
Chapter 14 Sign-in
In reality, it's also about giving oneself a way out.
He is indeed not in a position to harm Ye Qingmei's bloodline now.
The turmoil in Kyoto will take time to subside.
Li Yunrui, on the contrary, provided him with a "reasonable" reason that allowed him to temporarily "let go" of the child.
"Should we send someone to remind Her Highness the Princess?" Hong Sixiang asked.
Emperor Qing shook his head.
"No need."
"Given Yunrui's personality, the more you remind her, the more she will escalate her behavior."
"Let her do what she wants."
"I want to see what kind of child she can raise."
A meaningful smile appeared on Emperor Qing's lips.
He already had a new plan in mind.
Ye Qingmei's son,
If we can keep this child firmly in our own hands,
Perhaps, it will become a useful piece in the future.
One piece, used to deal with certain people.
"Closely monitor the movements of the Princess's residence."
Emperor Qing gave the order in a calm tone.
"I need to know everything about that child."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Hong Sixiang replied respectfully.
He knew that this emperor had begun his unfathomable scheme once again.
From this moment on, the baby named Ye Tian became an important piece in this game of chess.
However, who is the player and who is the pawn will probably only be revealed at the very end.
The Imperial Study returned to calm once more.
Emperor Qing picked up his vermilion pen again and continued reviewing the memorials.
It was as if the conversation between Li Yunrui and Ye Tian had never happened.
However, his deep eyes gleamed with a light that was more complex and elusive than ever before.
Ye Qingmei, although you are dead.
But the "trouble" you've left behind seems to be more interesting than you yourself.
···········
The days passed by.
Ye Tian's life at the Princess's residence was incredibly comfortable.
Li Yunrui cherished him like a treasure, keeping him by her side almost every step of the way.
She personally fed the children during mealtimes.
She personally coaxes her to sleep.
Even small things like taking a bath and changing clothes, she does them herself and doesn't ask anyone else to help.
The love and care shown was even greater than that shown to a biological son.
Ye Tian was happy to enjoy this "special treatment".
After all, being taken care of by such a stunningly beautiful and crazy woman, and even being able to "take advantage" of her from time to time, is a rare opportunity that not everyone can have.
Of course, while enjoying himself, Ye Tian did not forget his primary task—to accumulate strength!
He took advantage of the opportunities Li Yunrui brought him to the palace to meet the emperor, or to tour various parts of the palace, to frantically sign in!

[Ding! Successfully checked in at the Imperial Garden! Reward: 3 Herbal Rejuvenation Pills!]
[Ding! Successfully checked in at the Royal Arsenal! Reward: Emperor's Aura Observation Technique (Supernatural Power)!]
At this moment, every sign-in brings him unexpected surprises.
Elixirs, cultivation techniques, supernatural powers—you name it, they have it!
These rewards allowed Ye Tian's strength to improve rapidly without him even realizing it.
His innate sacred body and Dao embryo became even stronger and purer under the nourishment of various elixirs.
His cultivation of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique and the Heaven-Covering Dharma Wheel Scroll also progressed rapidly, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary people.
Of course, what surprised Ye Tian the most was...
On another occasion, he received a special reward while checking in at an abandoned palace deep within the royal palace!
[Ding! Successfully checked in at the former site of the Cold Palace! Special reward received: Bad Guy (300 Captains, leader Yuan Tiangang - Grandmaster level)!]
Bad Guys!
Yuan Tiangang!
When Ye Tian saw the reward, his heart almost jumped out of his chest with excitement!
This is the most mysterious and powerful intelligence and assassination organization from that famous anime in my past life!
The three hundred unruly captains were all elites among elites, skilled in infiltration, espionage, and assassination—they were capable of anything!
Their leader, the Bad Guy Commander Yuan Tiangang, is an old monster who has lived for over three hundred years.
His cultivation level was unfathomable, reaching an astonishing Grandmaster level!
This is simply an elite army, a terrifying trump card capable of overturning the entire Qing Kingdom!
"That's awesome!"
Ye Tian was so excited that he trembled all over.
With this gang of rogues, especially with Yuan Tiangang, a grandmaster-level expert,
His path to revenge will be much smoother in the future!
However, Ye Tian did not immediately summon the Bad Guys and Yuan Tiangang.
He knew that now was not the time.
His current strength is still too weak.
Revealing this trump card too early will only cause unnecessary trouble.
It could even lead to death.
"Let them stay in the summoning space for now."
Ye Tian thought to himself silently.
"When the time is right, we'll let them see the light of day again!"
"At that time, the entire Qing Kingdom will tremble!"
So, under Li Yunrui's "meticulous care," Ye Tian continued to develop discreetly.
During the day, he plays the role of an innocent, cute, and harmless good boy, enjoying all sorts of "benefits" from his crazy foster mother.
At night, he would secretly practice his cultivation techniques and refine elixirs to continuously improve his strength.
His aura became increasingly restrained and profound.
The glint of light that occasionally flashed in those big, dark eyes grew sharper and sharper, more and more unsettling.
Li Yunrui, however, was completely unaware of Ye Tian's changes.
She remained immersed in her obsessive and fervent maternal love, spoiling Ye Tian rotten.
She believed that she controlled everything about Ye Tian.
Little did she know, this "child" she cherished as a treasure...
She is growing quietly at a speed she could not have imagined.
A sleeping tiger is slowly opening its eyes, revealing its sharp fangs.
Beneath Kyoto's calm surface, undercurrents are surging.
An even bigger storm is brewing.
Ye Tian was at the center of this storm.
He knew that his time was about to begin!
Under Li Yunrui's deliberate arrangement, Ye Tian soon met his nominal "sister"—Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er, the illegitimate daughter of Princess Li Yunrui and Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, has a special status but is deeply loved by Emperor Qing. She was given the title of Princess Chen and holds a high position in the palace.
The first time we met was in the garden of the Princess's residence.
At that time, Lin Wan'er was a beautiful young girl with her hair in two buns, wearing an exquisite ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her features were delicate and exquisite.
Her eyes and brows carried a faint air of frailty, yet they could not conceal her innate liveliness and gentleness.
"Wan'er, come here quickly, see who this is."
Li Yunrui, holding Ye Tian, waved to Lin Wan'er with a gentle smile on her face.
Lin Wan'er walked over curiously with small, quick steps.
When she saw the baby in Li Yunrui's arms, who was much smaller than her but exceptionally handsome, a hint of surprise and affection flashed in her eyes.
"Mother, who...who is he?"
Lin Wan'er's voice was soft and sweet, with a touch of childlike innocence.
"His name is Ye Tian, and he'll be your younger brother from now on," Li Yunrui said softly. "You two should get along well, okay?"
"younger brother?"
Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up instantly.
She has always wanted a younger brother or sister to play with.
Now, this wish has finally come true!
She carefully reached out her little hand and gently poked Ye Tian's chubby little face, a happy smile appearing on her face.
"My little brother is so cute!"
Looking at the cute little girl in front of him, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.
This is his future "chicken leg girl".
Although he is still young, you can already see some of his future stunning looks.
"Eeya,"
Ye Tian cooperated by uttering a series of unintelligible baby babblings and even reached out his little hand to grasp Lin Wan'er's finger.
This almost melted Lin Wan'er's heart.
"Mother, can I hug my little brother?" Lin Wan'er looked at Li Yunrui with a hopeful expression.
Seeing this, Li Yunrui naturally wouldn't refuse.
She carefully handed Ye Tian into Lin Wan'er's arms, giving her detailed instructions on how to hold the child.
Although Lin Wan'er was young, she carried Ye Tian with remarkable skill.
She hugged Ye Tian tightly, her little face filled with joy and wonder.
"Little brother, I will take good care of you from now on."
Lin Wan'er spoke to Ye Tian in a serious tone, as if making a solemn promise.
Looking at her earnest little face, Ye Tian couldn't help but find it a little funny.
From then on, Lin Wan'er became a frequent visitor to the Princess's residence.
She would visit Ye Tian almost every day, talk to him, and tell him stories, even though Ye Tian spent most of his time "snoring away".
Sometimes, she would even secretly take food from her own food box.
She took out some things she thought were delicious and wanted to feed them to Ye Tian, but Li Yunrui stopped her, both amused and exasperated.
Ye Tian also enjoyed interacting with this "little loli older sister".
Lin Wan'er's innocence, gentleness, and charm allowed him to experience a long-lost sense of family and warmth.
Of course, while "playing" with Lin Wan'er, Ye Tian did not forget his "serious business"—signing in!
At the same time, he also discovered that Lin Wan'er seemed to possess a special kind of "luck".
Every time he spends time with Lin Wan'er, the quality of the rewards he receives for checking in improves!
