What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 330

Bai Xichu’s Proposal

Bai Xichu hadn’t sought Ye Yu out just to confirm her suspicions; she had other intentions.

So, without preamble, she said:

“Help me, and I will make your cultivation faster. What do you think?”

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.

Faster cultivation?

That would mean more killing, wouldn’t it?

This was a fantastic opportunity for Ye Yu. How could he possibly refuse?

With a soft voice, he asked:

“What do you want me to do?”

Bai Xichu snapped her fingers.

Behind her, a massive map of the Demon Realm appeared, marked with the names and territories of various Demon Lords.

Placing one palm on the map, she said in a solemn tone:

“I want you to help me take over the entirety of the Dongyao Province.”

Ye Yu followed her hand and frowned slightly.

The Demon Realm map was vast, divided into eight major provinces, each ruled by dozens of Demon Lords who claimed their own territories.

In Dongyao Province, Bai Xichu controlled only a fifth of the land.

Two other Demon Lords also occupied parts of Dongyao, and their territories were far larger than hers.

Clearly, the other two Demon Lords were stronger than Bai Xichu, or they wouldn’t hold such vast domains.

For Bai Xichu to unify Dongyao Province seemed like an impossible feat.

Ye Yu doubted he could help her achieve such a monumental goal unless every grand cultivator under Bai Xichu’s command became his teammate—and all of them died.

Perhaps then, it could be done.

Otherwise, with his current peak Ascension Stage cultivation, such an idea was absurd.

Smiling bitterly, Ye Yu shook his head and said:

“Demon Lord, isn’t this a bit too—”

Before he could finish, Bai Xichu interrupted:

“Don’t be so quick to refuse. Hear me out first.”

“I’m not asking you to lead an army and seize territory in direct combat.”

“What I want is for you to expand Heavenly Dragon Cliff’s influence further by attacking other Demon Lords’ sects.”

“Increase your sect’s reputation to attract more demons to join Heavenly Dragon Cliff, fostering absolute loyalty to the sect.”

“These loyal followers will serve as spies, monitoring the movements within other Demon Lords’ territories.”

“With knowledge of the enemy, victory becomes inevitable.”

After listening to her explanation, Ye Yu was momentarily stunned.

His gaze toward Bai Xichu shifted, carrying a hint of admiration.

"You’re something else!"

"Isn’t this just creating a demonic version of the imperial secret police?"

"On the battlefield, information control is the key to victory. This Demon Lord is truly brilliant."

After a brief pause, Ye Yu asked softly:

“Why come to me for this and not Sect Master Bu Haoyan?”

Bai Xichu smiled and replied:

“My time is exceedingly precious, and communicating with someone smart like you is far more efficient.”

“Besides, Bu Haoyan listens to your every word. If I speak to you, it’s as good as speaking to him. Why go through unnecessary trouble?”

Hearing this, Ye Yu almost burst out laughing.

High emotional intelligence: "Talking to you saves time."

Low emotional intelligence: "Bu Haoyan is an idiot."

"Fine, understood."

"Not even one sip?"

Ye Yu then asked seriously:

“When you advanced to the Heavenly Demon stage, did you encounter any danger?”

Though Bu Haoyan didn’t understand why Ye Yu was asking, he answered honestly:

“Not much danger, really. It went fairly smoothly.”

Hearing this, Ye Yu frowned even deeper.

"This makes it even stranger."

"If that’s the case, why would Bai Xichu leave such a warning before departing?"

Seeing Ye Yu’s serious expression, Bu Haoyan leaned closer and asked:

“Mr. Ye, are you troubled by something? Perhaps I can help?”

Ye Yu shook his head slightly.

He wasn’t one to dwell on puzzles for long and decided to set the matter aside for now.

With a smile, he said to Bu Haoyan:

“You’ve rested long enough. It’s time to march to battle again.”

In an instant, Bu Haoyan’s face was filled with confusion.

“Mr. Ye, we’re already the strongest. What else is there to conquer?”

Ye Yu pushed open the window and pointed into the distant darkness.

“This is just the beginning. I want you to turn Heavenly Dragon Cliff into not just Dongyao’s strongest sect but the strongest in the entire Demon Realm. I want its name to resound across the land, to stand at the true pinnacle of power!”

Let it be known, Ye Yu didn’t necessarily buy into Bai Xichu’s vision.

But when Ye Yu painted a picture, Bu Haoyan devoured it eagerly.

At that moment, the sect master’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, filled with visions of a glorious future.

(I, the Demon Emperor, trapped for millennia, need your power to break free. Help me, and I will grant you titles, lands, and eternal glory.)
