Number One Under Heaven

“We greet his Imperial Highness with our utmost sincerity!”

The girls all shouted while kowtowing, creating an illusion of servants worshipping their Emperor!

The greeting had sent chills down the Mortal’s spines, and they could only watch while kneeling on the floor with a stupefied face.

“Rise.” Tian Yi said with a gentle voice, sending chills through everyone’s body.

The word on his forehead disappears, and he looks around at the dumbfounded faces glaring back at him.

“Ahem. Let’s talk somewhere else more private, follow me.” He started walking back to his own room.

Before standing back up, the girls said, “Yes, your Imperial Highness.”

“Oh my Heavens, I am standing so close to him!”

“Mother, Father, thank you for giving birth to me, granting me such a golden opportunity!”

“My dream to see him in person has finally been fulfilled, and so fast too… I thought it was going to take few hundred thousand years…”

Inside their heart, the girls were all crying tears of happiness from meeting the idol they’ve all been dreaming about all day and night.

*Ripple*

Before Tian Yi went back into the airship, he waved his sleeves, and a ripple spread across the entire airship.

All the Mortals this ripple touches, instantly knock out, falling asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Xuan Wanshan somewhere in the crowd, Tian Yi shook his head, “I am sorry Master, but it is too early for you to get involved.” He sighs in his heart.

Finding nothing wrong with his actions, the girls continued to follow him.

“Meng Xiang, come.” Tian Yi said to her.

“Yes, Big Brother.” She replied and started jogging towards him.

The girls trembled after hearing how Meng Xiang addressed him, “Since when did the Imperial Tian Family have a daughter?!” They cried in their minds.

As far as the entire world knew, they only had one son, so why is this little girl calling him Big Brother?!

After catching up, Meng Xiang grabbed Tian Yi’s hand and followed him.

“!!!!” Seeing her actions, the girls all coughed up a mouthful of invisible blood, “What! She dares to touch him with such intimacy?! Who is she?!” No matter how much they thought, they could not guess her identity! Who in this world dares to touch the son of the Celestial Emperor like that? Who had the background to do that? Not even his servants dared to touch him so easily, yet this little girl went for his hands, one of the three forbidden parts of his body!

The son of the Celestial Emperor has three parts of his body which were forbidden, at least that is what people decided by themselves without his knowledge. One, his hands that every female dream of holding onto forever! Two, his lips that every female wants to kiss, but unable to even imagine how! Third, his rod that was considered this Universe’s most Legendary Treasure that nobody dares to talk about obtaining!

If the girls find out that Tian Yi’s second forbidden part has already been stolen by Meng Xiang’s mischievous little hands, they’ll definitely cough out real blood.

With their minds trying to guess Meng Xiang’s background, they silently follow Tian Yi in an orderly fashion. This situation right now was even grander than visiting any King or Overlord they’ve met before. If they do not show off their grace now, when will they get another chance?

They gently walked with each step in unison, and with their back straight, they puffed out their proud chest.

If one were to look from the sidelines, they would definitely mistake this scene as a Heavenly Parade, with Goddesses following an Emperor!

They continued to follow Tian Yi until they reached his room. Even with how spacious the room was, fitting in this many girls took up half of the room. However, even with that, it felt very spacious due to how orderly the girls were.

“…” None of the girls spoke, waiting for Tian Yi to speak first.

“Make yourself at home first; then we can talk.” Tian Yi said.

They all bowed, “Yes, your Imperial Highness.” But none of them moved and stayed standing there.

Tian Yi’s right eye twitched, “No need to be so stiff, sit anywhere you want.” Waving a hand, chairs made of jade appeared behind the girls.

“….”

The girls` were speechless at his actions, but they did not dare to stand any longer. Who would dare to stay standing when the Son of the Celestial Emperor offer them to sit with the chairs already handed out?

“Thank you, for his Imperial Highness’s graciousness.” The girls lowered their heads while sitting.

“This place is not the Celestial Emperor’s World. You can just call me Tian Yi. Ah, Brother Yi is fine too.” He said while waving his hands.

All the girl’s eyes popped out when they heard that, “WHAT!” They all cried in their heart.

Call the Son of the Celestial Emperor by his name without any honorifics? Who would dare?! Not even these close to him would dare to address him like that!

“But—” Someone tried to refuse.

“No buts, this is an order.” Tian Yi said casually.

Finally being in an environment that he enjoys, why would he want people to treat him the same way others did back at his home?

“…..” They were all speechless with their jaws hanging.

An order? He ordered them to do something like that?! It was such an unfair, yet good order!

After a minute of silence, someone finally spoke up, “If it’s Brother Yi’s order, then there is no choice…”

“That’s right!!! If it was his order, then we cannot refuse!” They all thought.

An order from Tian Yi is like an order from the Celestial Emperor himself! Who would dare to refuse his order, and such a good one at that?! Who in this world will have the opportunity to call the Son of the Celestial Emperor with such intimacy?! If they refuse such a Heaven-Sent chance, even calling them stupid is an understatement!

Because it was his order and they had to follow, who will dare to bother them now?! If other people complain, then they are basically telling them to disobey his orders, which is a heinous crime to even think about doing!

Tian Yi nods, “It is good if you understand. So, why are you here in the Mortal’s World?” He asks them the question that was on his mind for awhile now.

“Your— Brother Yi, we have come down to the Mortal’s Realm to find one of our fellow sisters.” One of the girls said.

“Oh, is that the only reason?” Tian Yi asked with a calm voice.

“Yes.” They all said together.

“Phew. Good, this is excellent. Now I just need to…”

Feeling refreshed, Tian Yi said, “Good, then can I ask you girls to do me a favor? I am aware that my father has been looking for me, but I do not plan on going back. If you can promise me not to mention anything about me being here, and keep this meeting a secret, I will owe you all a favor. How about it?” He was smiling with a gentle expression.

Even though he was still in his fake appearance, this soft smile gave a few invisible punches to the girl’s heart, making it beat faster.

“Even if Brother Yi did not owe us a favor, we will still be willing to keep this meeting a secret.” Someone said.

They were obviously aware of his father looking for him, even to the point of having him part of the reward. If they went and told the Celestial Emperor that he was currently in the Mortal’s Realm, they can even ask for marriage with him! However, with that said, none of them even had any thoughts of telling. If they went and told the Celestial Emperor about his location, then not only are they betraying him, they are also making an enemy out of every female out there! Not to mention that only one of them could get the reward, so why create an unnecessary bloodbath when they can all enjoy him together as sisters?

Also, what did it mean to have the Son of the Celestial Emperor walking around in an unknown location? That meant with enough fate and fortune; anybody could meet him just like these girls over here!

“No, I will owe all of you one favor. Come, tell me what you want.” Tian Yi said while standing in front of them, waiting for someone to come up to him.

Hearing that, the girls all looked at each other with an excited face. However, none of them went up because they did not know what to ask! What should they ask for from him? What are they allowed to ask for from the son of the Celestial Emperor? He was still the son of the Celestial Emperor, so they have to keep their requests reasonable.

*****

After many minutes of thinking, someone finally made up her mind and stood up.

She walked in front of Tian Yi and bowed, “Brother Yi, may I shamelessly ask you to say my name in a gentle voice once?” She asks with a red face.

“!!!!” The girls that were still thinking trembled upon hearing her request.

“What a brave girl! I did not think she was this bold!”

“Genius! Maybe I should ask the same thing…” They were all thinking to themselves.

Tian Yi looked at this beautiful girl who has short black hair down to her neck, “That’s it? Are you sure? You do not have to hold back, you know.” He asked with a puzzled expression. He thought that these girls would either ask for some Treasure or Cultivation Techniques, yet here they are asking for something simple like this? Are they just being considerate because of his status?

“I am sure!” The girl nods with a resolute expression.

“…. Then what is your name?” He asks.

“My name is Ju Meifeng.” She said with a shy voice.

“….” He went silent for a few seconds, before finally speaking, “Ju Meifeng~.”

His voice was gentle like a father caressing his baby to sleep.

*Dong*

Ju Meifeng suddenly dropped to her knees and cried silently. The effect this voice brought to her was too much to handle! Never in her life would she expect something as fortune as this could happen to her. For crazy fangirls like her, this brought more tears of joy to her than when she became a Half-God! This happiness was not something that could be achieved by just working hard!

“?!?!” Tian Yi watched her cry with a bewildered face, “Why is she crying?!” He could not think of any ideas as to why she was crying!

“A-Are you okay?” He asks.

“Un. Thank you, Brother Yi…” She nods, throwing her tears of joy around.

After a few more seconds of crying, she stood up and walked back to her seat.

The girls all looked at her, then back to Tian Yi with an even more excited face than a minute ago!

This time, more than 10 of them stood up at the same time. If it were not for trying to act appropriately in front of Tian Yi, they would’ve already run in front of him.

“Relax, you will all get you turn to request something from me. How about you all sit down first, and if you’re ready, raise your hand. I will pick from the first roll to the end.” Tian Yi said.

“Yes, Brother Yi!” They all sat back down and raised their hands.

“Good, you can come next.” He pointed to the girl in the front.

“Coming, Brother Yi!” She stood up and walked in front of him to bow.

“What do you want?”

“Can Brother Yi stare at me intensely for one minute?”

“…. That is all?”

“Yes!”

“….” He was speechless at her request!

After letting the girl prepare, he stood there and glared at her like a starved predator looking for preys.

“!!!!!” Feeling the fiery gaze, the girl trembles uncontrollably! Her heart started beating like drums, and she unknowingly drooled from her imaginations going wild!

“….” Yan Yan and Meng Xiang watched silently from the back.

“How many years of stored up luck for the future did they use just for today?” Yan Yan wondered to herself.
