Chapter 1102 Peace and tranquility in the harem, unification of the Eastern Territory

Tianlei Continent, Thunder Prison Headquarters.

When Mo Yu returned across the continents with Qing Yanjing and Qing Chen, he was greeted by the thunderous cheers of the Thunder Prison tribe.

After this battle, the Thunder Prison army was mobilized, and its overwhelming power forced the two ancient clans to retreat repeatedly, a feat unprecedented and unparalleled.

Even an ordinary thunder soldier in the Thunder Prison felt deeply honored at this moment, looking towards the direction of the Thunder Emperor's Palace with eyes full of reverence and awe.

While everyone in Lei Yu cheered, Mo Yu, the protagonist, led Qing Yanjing and Qing Chen to the inner palace to meet Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, and other women who had been waiting for a long time.

Deep within the Thunder Emperor Palace, there are not only council halls, cultivation chambers, and the Thunder Emperor Platform.

To the west of the magnificent palace complex lies a meticulously landscaped garden area. It features a lake fed by the spirit spring of the Star Sea, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and pavilions and towers scattered throughout. Its style blends the characteristics of the lower plane and the vast world, possessing both grandeur and exquisite elegance.

This is the private residence that Mo Yu reserved for himself and his family, which is jokingly referred to as 'Imperial Garden' within Thunder Prison.

Jingxin Pavilion is built by the lake, offering a wide view. When Mo Yu and his two companions entered, several beautiful figures were already waiting inside.

The woman in the middle, dressed in a silver palace dress, possessed a beauty that could be described as celestial, and an air of noble elegance; she was none other than Lei Feier.

As the daughter of the Lei Clan, Lei Feier has been of noble birth since childhood. Although she shares the position of matriarch with Xiao Yu, she is the most prestigious person in Mo Yu's harem.

To Lei Fei'er's left stood Xiao Yu, dressed in a green robe with long, slender legs and a tall, graceful figure. Her eyes and brows exuded a sense of valor and competence.

She once managed the Xiao Family Market in the Jia Ma Empire. After arriving in the Great Thousand World, she also assisted Mo Yu in handling many internal affairs of the Thunder Prison. She has a straightforward and efficient personality.

The woman on his right, dressed in a magnificent red dress, with a graceful figure and charming face, possessed a captivating allure in her eyes; she was Consort Ya.

She comes from the Mittel Auction House, is skilled in social interaction, and has a sharp mind. In Thunder Prison, she is responsible for foreign trade and some intelligence integration, and is also an indispensable assistant to Mo Yu.

The woman on the far left, dressed in a plain white dress, possesses a refined and elegant demeanor, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley. Her beauty is exquisite, and her expression serene. She is Yun Yun.

She was once the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. She was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After coming to the Great Thousand World, she focused more on her own cultivation and teaching promising young disciples in Leiyu. Her otherworldly and indifferent nature has never changed.

On the far right is the mischievous Qinglin, who is holding the arm of the little fairy doctor in a white dress, her eyes wide with curiosity as she watches the three people, including Moyu, arrive.

The girls had already received a message from Mo Yu and were aware of Qing Yanjing and Qing Chen's existence.

Upon seeing the real person, my gaze involuntarily fell upon them, and my feelings were complex and indescribable.

Although they knew that their husbands' harem was going to have another person added, and they knew what the existence of Qingchen's child meant, they understood rationally, but their emotions were inevitably stirred.

Qing Yanjing's emotions were also fluctuating.

Although she was a holy maiden of the Futu Ancient Clan, with extensive knowledge and profound cultivation, she still felt somewhat uneasy when facing the woman Mo Yu had known and stayed with since the lower realm.

She gripped Qingchen's hand tightly, her palm slightly damp with sweat.

Qingchen curiously observed the several unfamiliar 'aunts,' her little face showing a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.

Mo Yu stood in the middle, sensing the subtle atmosphere in the air, sighing softly in his heart, but his gaze remained firm.

He first nodded slightly to Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, and the other girls, then stepped aside and solemnly introduced, "This is Qing Yanjing."

His voice was steady and clear, carrying an unquestionable respect: "Xiao Jing, they are Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, Ya Fei, and Yun Yun. They are my family who have been with me since I was a child in the Dou Qi Continent."

Besides these, there are also Cai Lin and Zi Yan, but they are not currently on the Thunder Continent. I'll introduce you to them later.

He gently patted Qingchen's shoulder again: "This is Qingchen, my son, and the child Xiaojing gave birth to for me."

He pronounced the word "family" with exceptional clarity, instantly setting the tone.

Qing Yanjing took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. She stepped forward and gave a graceful bow to the women, her demeanor elegant and composed, her voice gentle yet clear: "Qing Yanjing greets you, sisters."

I often hear Mo Yu mention how her sisters accompanied her when she was in humble circumstances and supported her when she rose to prominence. Their friendship is profound, their efforts are invaluable.

Yan Jing admired and was grateful to the sisters for their care over the years. She did not consider herself a proud daughter of the Futu Ancient Clan or a half-step Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays, but instead lowered her stance and expressed her respect and gratitude to the pioneers as a "latecomer".

Xiao Yu was very straightforward. Looking at Qing Yanjing's beautiful face and calm demeanor, and then at Qing Chen's eyebrows and eyes that vaguely resembled Mo Yu's, the initial bitterness in her heart suddenly faded a lot.

She recalled the scene when she first met Mo Yu in Wutan City, and the trials and tribulations they had gone through together, realizing that some destinies are destined to be unrequited.

She stepped forward, offered a hand to help her up, and said cheerfully, "Sister Yanjing, there's no need for such formalities. I've heard him mention you before, and seeing you today, I can see you're truly extraordinary. You must have suffered these past years."

Her gaze fell on Qingchen, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes: "This must be Qingchen? What a handsome child. Come here and let Aunt Xiaoyu take a look."

With a bright smile, Ya Fei stepped forward and affectionately took Qing Yanjing's other arm, saying, "Sister Yanjing, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you."

"That guy's always been tight-lipped; he never went into detail before, which made us all incredibly curious. With your character and looks, and being a holy maiden of the Ancient Buddha Clan with unparalleled mastery of spirit arrays, it's truly his good fortune that you've taken a liking to him."

Her words were tactful and friendly, praising Qing Yanjing while also bridging the gap between them, and subtly hinting at their knowledge and acceptance of Mo Yu's past. She handled the situation with great finesse.

Yun Yun stepped forward quietly and smiled slightly at Qing Yanjing. Her smile was like the first melting of snow, cool yet warm: "Welcome back, Yanjing."

Her gaze lingered on Qingchen, carrying a teacher-like scrutiny and gentleness: "Qingchen has a solid foundation and inner spiritual energy; her future is limitless." She didn't say much, but her sincere welcome and concern for the child were equally endearing.

Although Lei Feier and Xiao Yixian were rather aloof, they welcomed Qing Yanjing. Qing Lin, on the other hand, curiously looked at Qing Chen and chuckled, "Look, Xiao Chen'er's eyebrows and eyes really do resemble the young master's."

Qing Yanjing felt the goodwill emanating from the women, and a great weight was finally lifted from her heart.

She was no ordinary woman, and naturally she could see that the women in Mo Yu's harem were all very opinionated and capable. Their magnanimity in accepting them was not only due to their deep affection for Mo Yu, but also to their own character and perspective.

She quickly said, "Thank you, sisters. Chen'er, please call for help."

Qingchen was very sensible. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the girls: "Qingchen greets Aunt Fei'er, Aunt Xiao Yu, Aunt Ya Fei, Aunt Xiao Yi Xian, Aunt Yun Yun, and Aunt Qing Lin." The child's clear voice broke down the last barrier between them.

Lei Feier smiled slightly, took out an exquisite and ancient jade pendant, and personally placed it around Qingchen's neck with her jade hand.

Consort Ya smiled radiantly and, as if by magic, produced a jade pendant brimming with spiritual energy, handing it to Qingchen: "This is a small gift from your aunt on our first meeting. Wearing it will calm your mind and aid in your cultivation."

Xiao Yu also took out a miniature wooden sword model with faint lightning: "Auntie, I heard that you also learn swordsmanship in the Ancient Futu Clan? This is for you to play with. It contains a lightning sword aura, which can protect you in critical moments."

Yun Yun then took out an old-fashioned sword manual: "These are some sword insights and basic sword techniques that I compiled in my spare time. They may inspire you."

Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin were not to be outdone, and both presented precious gifts.

The gifts weren't particularly expensive, but they were all thoughtfully chosen, matching Qingchen's age and interests, and revealing that they had done their research beforehand. This thoughtfulness warmed Qingyanjing's heart even more.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Mo Yu smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, stop standing and sit down to talk."

Everyone took their seats, and maids served fragrant tea and spiritual fruits.

After the initial awkwardness, the conversation gradually unfolded.

Qing Yanjing took the initiative to ask about Mo Yu's situation, especially how the girls met Mo Yu on the Dou Qi Continent.

Mentioning this, Xiao Yu and the other women became more animated in their conversation.

Xiao Yu mentioned that she and Mo Yu were childhood sweethearts, Little Fairy Doctor recalled her first meeting with Mo Yu in the Monster Mountain Range, and Yun Yun remembered the misunderstanding between her and Mo Yu...

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu felt a sense of disorientation, realizing that so much time had passed without her noticing.

Upon hearing about Mo Yu's various exploits on the Dou Qi Continent, Qing Yanjing was filled with amazement, and her beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she looked at Mo Yu.

Unexpectedly, before arriving in the Great Thousand World, so many shocking things had already happened to this Thunder Emperor, who was renowned throughout the Great Thousand World. This undoubtedly made Qing Yanjing's emotions even more turbulent.

After hearing these stories, the little boy Qingchen looked at Moyu, his father whom he had only known for a short time, with admiration.

After Xiao Yu and the others finished their story, the girls asked about Qing Yanjing's life in the Futu Ancient Clan and about Qing Chen's life from childhood to adulthood.

Qing Yanjing didn't dwell on the hardships of his imprisonment, only mentioning them lightly. Instead, he talked more about Qing Chen's intelligence and maturity in his childhood, and about his experiences with spirit arrays of the Futu Ancient Clan that didn't involve the core aspects.

When she mentioned that Qingchen could accurately identify dozens of basic spiritual seals when he was only three years old, Yun Yun's eyes showed admiration; when she mentioned that Qingchen often injured himself by lightning in the early stages of cultivation due to bloodline issues but never complained, Xiao Yu and Ya Fei both showed heartache on their faces.

Qingchen was a little reserved at first, but he was quickly drawn in by the friendly attitude and interesting topics of his aunts. He was particularly captivated by Yunyun's occasional mentions of the basics of swordsmanship, and he would ask questions from time to time, which Yunyun would patiently answer.

Most of the time, Mo Yu just listened and watched the scene before him, feeling a warm current flowing through his heart.

He knew all too well how important a harmonious harem and a peaceful household were to someone like him, who was in the eye of the storm.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the west.

The awkwardness and subtlety of the first meeting had largely melted away through frank communication and shared interests.

While they are still far from being truly intimate, a good, respectful, and potentially even mutually beneficial start has been laid.

Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled and enjoyed this rare moment of leisure and tranquility. At the same time, his thoughts began to wander.

He knew that everything he had now was earned through his own abilities.

Now that things are peaceful internally, it's time to be wary of external crises. After all, the evil race from beyond the realm is stirring, and we absolutely cannot let our guard down.

Given his current strength and status, he clearly has to shoulder some of the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu suddenly remembered the authority Qin Tian had left him: to suppress the Demon King of the East.

Perhaps we could borrow the name of Daqian Palace.

While Mo Yu and his family were enjoying their time together, countless powerful figures cast their gazes across the entire Eastern Great Thousand World, their gazes a mixture of awe, curiosity, and probing.

The title of "Demon Slayer of the East," personally bestowed by Qin Tian, ​​the Demon Slayer of the Great Thousand Palace, represents not only glory and power, but also a weighty responsibility concerning the safety of the entire eastern border of the Great Thousand World.

They were eager to know whether Mo Yu would treat it merely as a nominal title or if he would make any significant moves.

On the seventh day after their return, a thunderous decree, imbued with the might of heaven, was issued from the magnificent palace named "Thunder Emperor Palace" at the core of the Thunder Continent. It spread to every power and every corner of the eastern territory at a speed that surpassed space.

"By order of the Great Thousand Palace, in order to unite the power of the eastern territory of the Great Thousand World, jointly resist the evil race from beyond the realm, and ensure the peace of the eastern border of the Great Thousand World, the 'Eastern Guardian King's Mansion' shall be established on the Thunder Continent from this day forward."

"I, Mo Yu, have been appointed to oversee the duties of the Garrison Commander, and to command all matters concerning defense, conquest, and resource allocation within the eastern borders of the Great Thousand World."

"Within the Eastern Territory, all super powers, ancient races, sects, and kingdoms must send envoys to the Zhen Dong Wang Mansion within three months to register and report their territory, population, number of powerful individuals, resource output, and existing defense deployments."

All large-scale military movements across continents require approval and registration from the Royal Palace, and all intelligence concerning the whereabouts and unusual activities of extraterrestrial evil races must be reported to the Royal Palace immediately.

"The Prince of Zhendong's Palace will establish the 'Eastern Territory Garrison Army,' recruiting warriors from all directions. The Palace will regularly inspect the eastern border defenses, check the defenses, integrate resources, and build a joint defense system."

Those who disobey orders, feign compliance while secretly resisting, or delay military operations will be considered to be obstructing the defense of the entire realm, and the Prince's Palace has the right to punish them according to the law.

The decree was concise yet extremely domineering, its will as powerful as thunder from the heavens, leaving no room for doubt.

It did not use a tone of consultation or invitation, but directly declared its jurisdiction over the entire eastern territory of the world.

This decree instantly dropped an even more devastating bombshell on the eastern frontier, which was already in an uproar due to the Buddhist war!

The eastern territories are vast and boundless, with deeply entrenched and complex power structures.

Besides the newly emerged behemoth, Thunder Prison, there are several powerful forces with deep foundations, as well as numerous ancient races and unruly rogue cultivators.

Mo Yu's decree is tantamount to bringing all forces under an unprecedented framework, touching upon countless deep-rooted interests and traditions.

In an instant, the entire eastern border of the vast world was in an uproar…
