[This caused Xue Ke to bite her lower lip tightly, forcibly suppressing the impulse to throw herself into his arms regardless of the consequences; her chest heaved slightly due to her rapid breathing.]
[After calming her heart, Xue Ke raised her head and tried to make her voice sound peaceful, but the slight tremor betrayed her emotions.]
["Tang Chuan, thank you... thank you for coming in time."]
[Xue Ke's gaze lingered on Tang Chuan's face for a moment before she quickly looked down, her long eyelashes concealing the surge of complex emotions in her eyes.]
[To the side, Dugu Yan took all of this in.]
[As a woman, and especially as the woman closest to Tang Chuan, she was all too familiar with that look.]
[It was a look that mixed admiration, dependence, gratitude, and an indescribable affection.]
[Her good friend Ye Lingling had it, Zhu Zhuqing had it, and Huo Wu had it.]
[Now, even the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were looking at Tang Chuan with eyes that were gradually becoming different.]
[And now, there was this princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, the future Empress.]
[Dugu Yan couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, as a wave of helplessness and faint bitterness welled up.]
[Aren't there just too many of these "vixens"!]
[Her boyfriend was simply too outstanding and dazzling, like a torch in the dark night; it was hard not to attract moths.]
[First there was that cold and elegant Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Empire, then the fiery-tempered Huo Wu, followed by those exceptionally talented and beautiful Tianshui sisters, and now even the noble Princess Xue Ke...]
[However, this bitterness was soon diluted by another emotion.]
[Thinking of Tang Chuan's various extraordinary qualities and his unreserved trust and care for her, Dugu Yan felt at ease again.]
[Such an outstanding man was destined not to belong to her alone.]
[As long as his heart was with her, and as long as she occupied the most important position in his heart.]
[The rest... it seemed it wasn't unacceptable.]
White World, Tianshui City.
"Sister! There's hope! There's hope!"
Upon seeing this, Shui Yue'er's delicate and soft face lit up, her water-blue eyes shining with excitement and joy as she cheered.
"This sister Dugu Yan seems very reasonable!"
"Looking at the situation in the comparison video, it seems she accepts that we can also like Male God Tang Chuan!"
"This way, we can also join Male God Tang Chuan's big Family!"
"This is just wonderful!"
Beside her, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel some joy and happiness in her heart.
After watching so many comparison videos, she had to admit it.
Regarding Tang Chuan, she had unknowingly developed feelings that went beyond just a good impression.
However, as the older sister, Shui Bing'er still had to maintain her image. Her gentle and beautiful face took on a serious expression as she scolded softly.
"Yue'er, stop talking nonsense!"
"Tang Chuan is the Sect Master of our Qingdi Sect, and Dugu Yan is the Sect Master's wife!"
"Some things cannot be said carelessly!"
Hearing this, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but laugh, her water-blue eyes curving into crescent moons as she giggled.
"Sister! You don't need to explain!"
"I understand! I understand!"
"We call Male God Tang Chuan 'Sect Master.' That way, besides being sisters, we have the additional identity of being his subordinates!"
"This way, we'll be even more competitive!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to compete with Princess Xue Ke, who has the status of an Empress!"
This immediately left Shui Bing'er speechless, her forehead covered in imaginary black lines.
What on earth is this Yue'er thinking about all day!
Black World.
After seeing Dugu Yan's thoughts in the comparison video.
Shui Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Xue Ke, and the others in the Black World could only feel envy in their hearts.
Because they were not from the same World.
Even if they wanted to cross over and join, they couldn't.
In the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Tang San's expression was unsightly, and his heart was filled with rage.
'This Xue Ke is truly blind!'
'As a noble princess and the future Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could she fall for this Tang Chuan and not even care about her status!'
'She shouldn't forget that if it weren't for this Tang Chuan telling Qian Renxue to pull up the roots...'
'Perhaps the Emperor Xue Ye of the White World, as well as Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng, wouldn't have died!'
'In other words, this Tang Chuan is Xue Ke's father's killer!'
'She can actually still fall for this Tang Chuan; she's truly beyond saving!'
Although in the comparison video, he also only loved the rabbit Xiao Wu and rejected Xue Ke.
But as a staunch warrior of feudalism.
Seeing Xue Ke, a princess now and an Empress in the future, not only falling for Tang Chuan but also expressing that she didn't care about her status.
This still made Tang San explode with envy.
He couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes bloodshot, nearly panting like a bull.
The comparison video continued to play.
[After coming to terms with it, thinking of Xue Ke's status, Dugu Yan's heart stirred again.]
[Since this Xue Ke is the future Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire.]
[Then her falling for Xiao Chuan doesn't seem like a bad thing.]
[If Xue Ke truly has intentions toward Xiao Chuan, then the relationship between the Qingdi Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family might become even closer, perhaps even reaching an unprecedented height.]
[This would undoubtedly bring huge benefits to Xiao Chuan and the Qingdi Sect!]
[This thought flashed by, making Dugu Yan's mood even more complex; not only was she not planning to stop Xue Ke and Tang Chuan, she even intended to find a way to give them a push.]
[However, Tang Chuan seemed not to have noticed Xue Ke's almost unmistakable affection or Dugu Yan's turbulent thoughts.]
[Or rather, his attention was not on this at the moment.]
[Driving away Xue Hansong only solved the immediate crisis.]
[What was more important was to establish Xue Ke's position as soon as possible, let her ascend the throne, and stabilize the situation of the Heaven Dou Empire.]
[This caused Tang Chuan to look at the three Education Committee Members—Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin—who were walking over quickly, and say with a solemn expression.]
["Three Committee Members, today's matter is settled."]
["But as for the struggle for the throne, as long as the succession is not finalized, there will be more variables!"]
["So the top priority now is to have Princess Xue Ke ascend the throne as Empress as soon as possible."]
["I will need the three of you, Committee Members, to help manage and arrange this quickly."]
[As he spoke, Tang Chuan also gave a heavy guarantee.]
["You three can rest assured. With me, Tang Chuan, and our Qingdi Sect here, no one can forcibly take away the throne that belongs to Princess Xue Ke."]
["The Princess is of Emperor Xue Ye's Bloodline; inheriting the throne is perfectly justified."]
["Once Chief Committee Member Meng Shenji has prepared the coronation ceremony, our Qingdi Sect will surely be present in full force to observe and support Empress Xue Ke!"]
[After hearing Tang Chuan's words, the three committee members also made up their minds.]
[After Xue Hansong and the others came to force a confrontation and were deterred by Tang Chuan leading the powerhouses of the Qingdi Sect to display their strength, they fled.]
[Next, even if Her Highness ascends the throne, Xue Hansong and the others surely wouldn't dare to act rashly again.]
[The time for the coronation was ripe!]
["Many thanks, Sect Master Tang! Many thanks to everyone from the Qingdi Sect!"]
[Meng Shenji took a deep breath and gave Tang Chuan a deep bow.]
["With the support of Sect Master Tang Chuan and the Qingdi Sect, Her Highness will surely be able to ascend the throne smoothly and stabilize the Empire!"]
["On behalf of the late Emperor and the millions of citizens of the Empire, I thank Sect Master Tang for his great kindness!"]
[Beside him, Xue Ke also nodded vigorously and said solemnly.]
["Sect Master Tang Chuan, I, Xue Ke, will keep your kindness in my heart."]
["The Heaven Dou Empire will forever be the Qingdi Sect's most steadfast ally!"]
[Afterward, Meng Shenji began preparing for Xue Ke's coronation ceremony.]
[After Xue Hansong and the others came to force a confrontation and were deterred by the strength displayed by the Qingdi Sect.]
[With the crisis of Xue Hansong possibly raising troops to attack if Xue Ke were rashly crowned resolved, Meng Shenji quickly arranged the coronation ceremony.]
[Five days later.]
[Tang Chuan led Dugu Bo, Ling Zhantian, as well as Bai He, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and other high-level members of the Qingdi Sect, along with Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Huo Wu, and the other girls to observe the ceremony.]
[Along with countless residents of the Heaven Dou Imperial City and high-level members of various Spirit Master academies and Spirit Master families, they witnessed Xue Ke's coronation and her becoming the Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire.]
[Afterward, Tang Chuan had his grandfather Dugu Bo stay behind in the palace as the Imperial Supreme Guest Elder to protect the safety of Empress Xue Ke.]
[As for Tang Chuan, after returning, he directly activated the first Spirit Ability of his Second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer: Split.]
[After splitting into four Clones, they Cultivated simultaneously at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Qingdi Sect, and the fiefs of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, searching for the opportunity to break through to Rank 90!]
[After two and a half months of bitter Cultivation.]
[Tang Chuan, who was Cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, finally found the opportunity for a Breakthrough and successfully reached Rank 90!]
