"In the end, Lorya succumbed to Nairne's clutches.
'Alright! Both of you, quiet down and tell me what's going on!' Ye Ming said, his face stern.
From their conversation earlier, it was evident that Lorya's actions were inextricably linked to Nairne.
'Uh... alright! But first, let's get this straight, everything we did was for you, Divine Lord!' Nairne replied earnestly.
'Yes! That's right!' Lorya also nodded in agreement.
Finally, through the explanations of the two women, Ye Ming understood the true purpose behind Lorya's actions.
From Lorya, Ye Ming learned that his whereabouts for the past three years had been under Nairne's watch.
However, Ye Ming had never actively contacted them, so Nairne dared not disturb him.
But in the last half month, Ye Ming's interactions with Nangong Qianyu and others had drawn Nairne's close attention.
She slowly realized that their Divine Lord was undergoing a subtle transformation. He was no longer as indifferent to people and matters as he used to be.
Upon learning this, Nairne was genuinely happy.
No matter how she appeared to be indifferent to Ye Ming, when she was alone, wouldn't she feel a hint of melancholy?
Afterward, Nairne noticed another peculiar phenomenon.
The number of women around Ye Ming seemed to be increasing.
Starting with Nangong Qianyu, then Fang Junxue.
Later, Bai Qiushui, Ji Hongying, Du Yuemian, and others appeared.
At that moment, Nairne seemed to realize something.
That was: their Divine Lord was starting to develop an interest in women.
When she shared this news with Lorya, the two women hit it off immediately, leading to the selection of 'Divine Maidens.'
Ye Ming could guess their intentions.
...
'I...'
Upon learning the truth, Ye Ming almost fainted.
Lorya had actually done that to select 'consorts' for him!
'Divine Lord, you don't need to feel embarrassed!' Nairne gave him a knowing look and said, 'After all, you are a normal man!'
Nairne's words left Ye Ming speechless.
'Alright! Stop! I don't care about your intentions. Now! Immediately! Send those so-called Divine Maidens away. I don't need them!'
Ye Ming couldn't be bothered to argue with them and issued a strict command.
He might be a normal man!
But he wasn't a stud!
What did Lorya and the others take him for by doing this?
'Ah! Did I hear you correctly, Divine Lord?'
Hearing this, Nairne looked incredulous. 'Those are the exquisite beauties we handpicked for you, and you're not tempted at all?'
Even Lorya seemed surprised.
'Hey! What are you looking at me like that for?' Ye Ming felt a shiver run down his spine as they stared at him. He pointed at himself and asked, 'Is that how I am in your eyes?'
Just as Nairne was about to nod, she saw Ye Ming's dark expression and quickly shook her head. 'No! No! How is that possible! Our Divine Lord is naturally pure, unyielding, handsome, and debonair...'
'Stop! That's enough!'
Ye Ming quickly interrupted, 'I don't care how you do it, you must send them back. This matter ends here. Don't mention it again!'
He feared that if they continued, his majestic image would completely collapse.
'Are you really not going to reconsider?'
Nairne still seemed somewhat unwilling.
'Hm?'
Ye Ming gave her a cold glance.
'If you don't want them, then don't! Why are you being so fierce! Hmph!'
Nairne pouted, her displeasure evident on her face.
'Divine...'
'In private, call me Brother Ye, as before!'
Seeing Lorya about to address him as 'Divine Lord,' Ye Ming quickly interrupted.
Brother Ye!
This was what everyone called him before the Heavenly Mandate Divine Hall was established.
'Ye... Bro... ther!'
Hearing this address again, Lorya suddenly felt a sense of separation from a past era.
The same was true for Nairne beside her.
She glanced at Ye Ming, wondering what schemes were brewing in her mind.
'Lorya, what were you about to say?'
Ye Ming asked.
'Oh, it's like this! Of all the women we selected for you, you can dismiss all of them. But there's one I hope you'll keep by your side!' Lorya said earnestly.
'That's right! You must keep that girl!' Nairne also urged him. 'Otherwise, there will be great trouble!'
Hmm.
Seeing the seriousness on both women's faces, Ye Ming was surprised and curious.
Who exactly was this person that they valued so highly?
No!
From their tone, he could even detect a hint of apprehension!
Great trouble?
What did that refer to?
'Tell me! Who is it that makes you two so solemn!'
'This...'
'This...'
Hearing this, Lorya and Nairne hesitated.
'Brother Ye! Why don't you go and see for yourself! Once you meet her, you'll understand everything!' Lorya explained.
'What?'
This time, Ye Ming was truly bewildered.
He had to see her in person!
Was she some great figure?
But upon reflection, that didn't seem right!
With Lorya's strength and insight, she wouldn't easily say such a thing.
'Brother Ye! Her current situation is rather special. To ensure the safety of everyone in the Divine Hall, I've specially housed her in a branch hall with sparse foot traffic, so we can only take you there,' Lorya revealed part of the reason.
'Alright! Lead the way!'
Now, Ye Ming was genuinely looking forward to meeting this special woman.
'Mm!'
Lorya led the way, while Nairne seized the opportunity to hook her arm around Ye Ming's, saying with a smile, 'I guarantee that after you meet her, you'll be absolutely surprised!'
Lorya glanced back and saw Nairne's boldness, which seemed to stir something within her as well.
'Oh, from your descriptions earlier, she sounds quite dangerous!'
Ye Ming allowed Nairne to link arms with him. This was a common occurrence in the past.
'That's right! She is indeed a dangerous presence!' Nairne also became unusually serious and said in a deep voice, 'Our little princess went to a lot of trouble to bring her safely into the Heavenly Mandate Divine Hall!'
'This...'
Ye Ming looked at Lorya in front of him and was once again shocked.
He knew very well that Lorya had already entered the Origin Realm, Tier Three.
Even she had spent considerable effort!
Was the other party really that strong?
'Alright! You'll know soon enough!' Nairne said with a smile, her eyes twinkling.
Just then, Ye Ming suddenly stopped and looked at a stone pillar not far away.
'Come out!'"
