The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Capítulo 1: Chapter 1: The Return of the Eternal Emperor Soul in One Evening

Emperor Immortal Sect, Emperor Peak.

A majestic grand hall stood at the summit of the mountain, exuding an atmospheric and grand style.

Behind the grand hall, however, was an unremarkable and lowly cottage, out of place amidst its surroundings. The person living inside was none other than the 'famous' figure of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, the son-in-law of Emperor Immortal Sect——Ye Xuan.

At this moment, within the cottage, the young Ye Xuan sat motionless on the bed, his eyes lacked focus, as if soulless, murmuring to himself, unaware of what he was saying.

Bang——

Just then, the door was violently kicked open, Zhou Bingyi walked into the room, and, looking at the wooden Ye Xuan sitting on the bed, she said with a hint of disgust, "Mother said that a distinguished guest is visiting today. You are not to go anywhere; just stay inside the house."

"Did you hear me?"

Ye Xuan still sat there, motionless. After a while, he murmured quietly, "After a long time spanning the ages, sleeping for ninety thousand years, I have finally returned..."

"Changxi, Mu Yun, my dear wives, my good disciples, none of you will escape!"

"What are you mumbling about on and on?" Zhou Bingyi's disgust in her eyes grew even more intense.

Ye Xuan came back to his senses, suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Bingyi, his expression cold.

Zhou Bingyi was taken aback and said somewhat angrily, "What are you looking at! Did you hear what I just told you? You are not allowed to go anywhere today!"

"Being stuck with you as a brother-in-law, what bad luck."

"I don't even know what sister is thinking, overlooking so many outstanding talents, insisting on marrying someone as out of luck as you. Not to mention the inability to cultivate, you're also an idiot..."

As she spoke more and more, Zhou Bingyi grew angrier, glaring at Ye Xuan with teeth clenched, "Why don't you just go die instead of clinging to my sister?"

"Son-in-law, good-for-nothing, idiot..." Ye Xuan's eyes flashed as memories from the past surged through his mind.

He had originally been the young master of the Ye Family in Wan'an City of Yun Country, but at the age of eleven, he was taken away by an extremely terrifying being—the Sovereign of the Burial Emperor—and brought to the Mythical Era many ages ago, integrated into an undying monster's body. Since then, he traversed all heavens, ventured through dangerous lands.

After countless great calamities and tribulations, he finally broke free from the Sovereign of the Burial Emperor and dominated Qian Kun.

However, the original body that lost its Life Soul became an idiot.

Last year, he was brought to Emperor Immortal Sect to marry the sect's Princess, Zhou Youwei, who was also his current wife, and became the son-in-law of Emperor Immortal Sect.

Having married into the Emperor Immortal Sect for a year, he had not received the treatment a son-in-law deserved; he was instead bullied at every turn.

In the Emperor Immortal Sect, his status was probably not even as good as a dog's.

If it were not for his wife Zhou Youwei's protection, he would have died countless times already.

Seeing that Ye Xuan seemed unresponsive, Zhou Bingyi was about to scold him again but then self-mockingly laughed, "Forget it. Why should I get angry at an idiot?"

With that, Zhou Bingyi turned and left, deliberately using force when she closed the door, causing a loud bang as if she wanted to shake the whole house down.

Ye Xuan drew back his thoughts, gazing at the door, his eyes flickering, his expression cold, and slowly muttered, "Idiot, huh? That name won't be around anymore..."

With his soul returned to his body, he possessed foundations beyond ordinary people's imaginations.

Sitting on the bed, Ye Xuan tried to use his Soul Power.

Feeling the presence of Soul Power, Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief, "After sleeping for ninety thousand years, although my Soul Power has greatly diminished, at least there's still half of it left."

"Eh, my physique..." Ye Xuan was slightly shocked, realizing that there was something odd about his physique.

"Could it be the kind of physique the Sovereign of the Burial Emperor has been seeking all this time?!"

At this moment, Ye Xuan was full of shock and uncertainty.

After his Life Soul had been taken by the Sovereign of the Burial Emperor, that being had tasked him with searching for an extremely mysterious type of physique.

Now, having transcended countless ages and his soul returned to his body, Ye Xuan discovered the extraordinary nature of his physique.

"If it really is that kind of physique, then this time, I must trample the Sovereign of the Burial Emperor underfoot, avenging the past grievances!"

Even with Ye Xuan's temper, he could not help but feel a bit excited at this moment, "I'll go find a Qi Condensing Pill to try..."

While Ye Xuan was using his Soul Power to examine his physique, Emperor Peak welcomed a young man with an extraordinary demeanor.

The youth had handsome facial features, dressed in luxurious clothes, every movement demonstrating the grace of a noble; the only flaw was perhaps the uncomfortable air of disdain emanating from him.

The person who came to greet him was a woman who appeared to be in her early thirties, gracious and composed. This person was Ye Xuan's mother-in-law—Jiang Jing, the wife of the Sect Master of Emperor Immortal Sect and also an Elder of the sect.

"Auntie," the young man greeted Jiang Jing with a bow.

"Yulong has arrived; please enter the hall and take a seat quickly." Jiang Jing had a smile in his eyes, seemingly quite pleased with the young man, welcoming him into the great hall with a laugh.

"Auntie, you're too kind. The reason for my visit this time is to see Youwei," Zhao Yulong said as he gave Jiang Jing a bow before stepping into the great hall.

"You've come at an unfortunate time, Yulong. Youwei is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the level of a prince," Jiang Jing said with a smile.

Zhao Yulong couldn't help but express his surprise, "It's no wonder Youwei is considered the number one goddess of Lie Tian Heavenly Country. Barely eighteen and already striving to reach the level of a prince."

"You're jesting, Yulong. Youwei's talents are far inferior to yours. Having emerged from seclusion, you must have stepped into the realm of a prince by now," Jiang Jing said, her eyes full of smiles.

Zhao Yulong heaved a sigh and said, "I went into seclusion that year to aim for the prince level, but upon emerging, I learnt that Youwei was already married. That is the regret of my life."

At those words, a complex expression flashed across Jiang Jing's eyes.

Zhao Yulong was one of Zhou Youwei's suitors. His identity was that of a Saint Heir from the Luotian Sacred Land, his father being the Sect Master, and his mother, an authoritative Elder of the Luotian Sacred Land.

One must know that the overall strength of Luotian Sacred Land far surpassed that of the Emperor Immortal Sect, ruling over an Upper Country.

Zhao Yulong and Zhou Youwei, indeed, were a perfect match in terms of status and were often spoken of as a couple. Both of their powers had almost reached the point of contracting a marriage alliance.

In those years, Jiang Jing was also very fond of Zhao Yulong as a match for her daughter, Zhou Youwei.

What a pity that later, Zhou Youwei insisted on marrying Ye Xuan, almost causing a rift between Emperor Immortal Sect and Luotian Sacred Land, which targeted Emperor Immortal Sect as a result.

Every time Jiang Jing thought about this, she felt irritated.

Noticing the change in Jiang Jing's expression, Zhao Yulong sneered to himself but kept a calm demeanor, "Since Youwei is in seclusion, why don't we have Youwei's husband come out to meet us instead?"

This suggestion only increased Jiang Jing's irritation.

Have Ye Xuan come out to meet them? Wouldn't that be humiliating for her?

Therefore, Jiang Jing spoke formally, "Unfortunately, he is also in seclusion."

"Oh?" Zhao Yulong showed a look of surprise and said, "I have heard that Youwei's husband is born a fool, unable to cultivate at all. He's in seclusion too?"

Those words left Jiang Jing unsure how to respond.

"Mother, I already spoke with that idiot Ye Xuan," Zhou Bingyi walked in at that moment.

The atmosphere became awkward suddenly, and for a while, Jiang Jing didn't know what to say.

"Zhao Yulong?" Zhou Bingyi also noticed Zhao Yulong and immediately frowned at Jiang Jing, "Mother, is he the honored guest you spoke of?"

Zhou Bingyi naturally disliked Zhao Yulong, even more than she detested Ye Xuan, so she did not have a pleasant expression on her face.

"Bingyi sister, are you talking about Ye Xuan, that idiot brother-in-law of yours?" Zhao Yulong took the opportunity to say.

Zhou Bingyi sneered and said, "I have never acknowledged him as my brother-in-law."

Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard from outside the hall.

The three of them were slightly taken aback, turning to look outside the hall.

Subsequently, a black-robed youth entered the great hall at an unhurried pace, his gaze falling upon Zhou Bingyi as he spoke, "Do you have a Qi Condensing Pill? Lend me one."

The arrival was none other than Ye Xuan, who had already ascertained that his physique might really be of a special kind. He needed a Qi Condensing Pill to confirm his suspicions, but having none himself, he came to Zhou Bingyi for help.

"Who is this?" Zhao Yulong frowned, staring intently at Ye Xuan.

"Ye Xuan?" Zhou Bingyi opened her mouth in disbelief, staring dumbfounded at Ye Xuan, "You, you can speak properly now?!"

Jiang Jing also looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment.

They were all aware of Ye Xuan's past idiocy, and she had specifically investigated it; after becoming a fool at the age of eleven, Ye Xuan had never spoken a complete sentence again.

Yet, five years later, Ye Xuan was truly speaking, and so eloquently at that!

"Is this gentleman Youwei's husband, Ye Xuan?" Zhao Yulong raised his eyebrows, revealing a cold smile as he leisurely stood up and approached Ye Xuan.

"Didn't I tell him not to go out today?" Jiang Jing sent a message to Zhou Bingyi, very displeased.

"But I did tell Uncle Lu," Zhou Bingyi was also confused at this moment. After speaking to Ye Xuan, she had specifically asked Uncle Lu to keep an eye on Ye Xuan.

Zhao Yulong had already approached Ye Xuan by now; the tall Zhao Yulong stood a head above Ye Xuan, almost looking down at him contemptuously, "A useless man without any cultivation."

"How could Youwei have taken a liking to such sorry material?"
