Phoenix Ruoxi spoke gently, her eyes downcast.

With no other options, she resorted to this plan.

If she couldn't become Ye Tian's concubine, then she'd become his servant.

Failing to ascend the Ye family's towering tree endangered Phoenix Ancient Country.

Ye Tian, just an infant, required her care for his upbringing.

Phoenix Ancient Country, facing exclusion and hostility from three other ancient countries, might endure for at most thirty years.

The Phoenix Country Lord, witnessing his daughter's concern, felt a pang. They sacrificed much for Phoenix Ancient Country.

Destiny, however, couldn't be resisted.

The Ye Family's elders exchanged surprised glances as the grand princess of Phoenix Ancient Country, known for her talent and aloofness, now willingly became a servant for the young master.

Even Ye Junlin wondered if his son was under romantic influence.

As Ye Tian listened, he was stunned. Unable to become a concubine, she wanted to be a servant, and she was an ancient country's princess.

"Caring for my daily life? Attending to me day and night sounds weird."

"Wait, if she becomes my servant, does that mean I won't be embraced by cousin Linglong anymore?"

Ye Tian, excited, drooled while laughing, his infant smile healing to behold.

Ye Junlin felt like melting as he watched.

Decided, Phoenix Ruoxi would become his son's servant to ensure his growth. Future matters weren't a father's concern.

"If Phoenix Ancient Country shows sincerity, let her stay."

"But Phoenix Ruoxi must swear a solemn oath!"

"Loyal to my son Ye Tian, without disobedience!"

Ye Junlin emphasized consequences if she violated this oath.

Phoenix Ruoxi knelt, expressing gratitude. She swore an oath, sealed with a drop of blood into Ye Tian's palm.

Her fate was now in Ye Tian's hands.

Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that it's settled, I won't disturb you further."

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Phoenix Country Lord stood to leave, cold sweat soaking his back.

The Ye Family's elders surpassed his cultivation level, verifying the external rumors about the Ye Family's strength.

"Escort Phoenix Country Lord out," Ye Junlin instructed.

Once they left, Ye Junlin's gaze became sharp, like an unsheathed sword, shaking the heavens and earth.

"What's wrong with the old man?" Ye Tian, in Ye Junlin's arms, was incredibly shocked.

He knew his old man was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful.

"Daring to scheme against my Ye Family."

"But it's inconsequential."

Ye Junlin spoke in a low voice, and the elders exchanged glances.

Phoenix Ruoxi knelt, listening to Ye Junlin's words. Did her father have other plans, even offending the mighty Ye Family?

"At most thirty years; by then, we'll see the state of Phoenix Ancient Country and what options are left."

A senior elder said with a hint of irony.

"Family Head, what about the Phoenix Blood? How should we handle it?"

"Otherwise..."

A senior elder spoke with a cold tone, making a slashing motion across his neck.

"No need. Since she has become my son's servant and sworn a solemn oath, we can trust her."

"In the future, leave it to my son to handle."

Phoenix Ruoxi's pupils trembled. What had her father, the Emperor, done behind the scenes? The Ye Family seemed displeased.

And she, unexpectedly, had walked on the edge of life and death.

If she hadn't sworn the solemn oath, she would have turned into a pile of bones.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian in Ye Junlin's arms listened with confusion.

Calculations, thirty years at most—confused tree on top, confused fruit on the tree, and a confused Ye Tian below.

"Darn it, it seems like there's no world that's easy to navigate."

"In the fantasy world, strength is the foundation of everything. Luckily, I have an invincible background."

His old man could easily dominate the forbidden zone with a snap of his fingers.

"From today onwards, my son Ye Tian is your master. Don't harbor any thoughts of betrayal, or else..."

Ye Junlin's tone grew cold, like an ice age that made people shiver.

"I understand!"

Phoenix Ruoxi said tremulously. Having just sworn a solemn oath, now she received a warning from the Lord of the Gods.

She understood that her entire life's fate might be controlled by this infant.

"The young master's palace in the Ye Family is still being prepared. During this time, you can take care of little Tian along with Ye Linglong."

In Ye Tian's arms, there was a moment of confusion. What was going on? Taking care of him with Ye Linglong? How would he explore beyond the palace?

The Ye Family was vast, like an independent world containing numerous planets.

With a curious nature from two lifetimes, he naturally wanted to explore. However, reckless wandering would likely earn his mother's wrath, and now, he might add Phoenix Ruoxi as a substitute for punishment.

"Ah, I want to go out and play! When will I grow up?"

Ye Tian grumbled in his heart, eager to grow up and then laze around and enjoy life.

At this moment, Ye Junlin, holding Ye Tian, indulgently said, "Elder One, Elder Two, considering Tian is still young, he will undoubtedly need a means of transportation in his future growth."

"As per my perception, there's an ancient dragon egg sealed in the Ancestral Dragon Nest, dating back to the ancient era. It's qualified to become my son's mount."

"Today, I order you both to go to the Ancestral Dragon Nest and seize that ancient dragon egg."

"But, Family Head, under what justification can we seize the ancient dragon egg? You know, that egg is a treasure of the Ancestral Dragon Nest, highly expected to produce an extraordinary dragon."

The First Elder cautiously asked. The Ancestral Dragon Nest was an illustrious immortal force, a major branch of the Primordial Dragon Clan, and its strength was not to be underestimated.

Of course, in the eyes of the Ye Family, it was no different from ants.

"We, the Ye Family, do things without needing justifications."

"If we seize it, we seize it. If they have the ability, let them take it back."

"We obey!"
