"Slurp~ Slurp~" Yue Rou ate the baguette with relish, her beautiful eyes no longer showing any resistance, but instead revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Looking at Yue Rou's expression, Bai Qinchen's face showed satisfaction, and he felt a strong sense of accomplishment. "Aunt Yue, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Yue Rou just kept nodding, without saying a word in response.

She ate very seriously and intently, completely absorbed in the baguette, and didn't even hear what Bai Qinchen was saying.

Suddenly, Yue Rou felt the baguette swell up and realized something. She quickly tried to spit it out.

However, Bai Qinchen pressed her head down firmly, leaving the syrup in her throat.

The scalding hot syrup went down my throat and into my stomach. Immediately, a warm current spread through my stomach, making me feel incredibly comfortable all over.

Yue Rou's entire body went limp, her breathing became rapid, her small mouth opened wide, and she looked as if she was about to suffocate.

However, Bai Qinchen's syrup was not finished yet; he kept sprinkling syrup on Yue Rou's pretty face, hair, and steamed buns.

Her small mouth couldn't swallow so much syrup, and a lot of syrup spilled from the corners of her mouth and dripped onto the ground.

At that moment, Yue Rou looked so charming and alluring.

"Aunt Yue." Bai Qinchen picked Yue Rou up from the ground, gently kissed her earlobe, and murmured, "You are so beautiful."

A blush crept onto Yue Rou's pretty face. She gently bit her lower lip, and after finishing the syrup in her mouth, she raised her watery eyes to look at Bai Qinchen, and said coquettishly, "Bai Qinchen..."

"Hmm?" Bai Qinchen gazed tenderly at Yue Rou in his arms and responded softly.

Yue Rou didn't say anything, but simply kissed Bai Qinchen.

Chapter 308 The White Crown King

"Boom boom boom!"

Outside Tiandou City of the Tiandou Empire, gongs and drums resounded, and firecrackers exploded, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.

Blue Tyrant Academy won the championship in the competition, which was an unprecedented event. Therefore, Emperor Xueye naturally arranged for all the people in the city to line the streets to welcome them.

The streets were lined with dense crowds, and various flowers, colorful flags, and balloons fluttered in the air.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Bai Qinchen led the girls of Blue Tyrant Academy into the palace.

A banquet had been prepared long ago, with tables laden with food and wine.

"Our champions are finally back!" Emperor Xueye looked at Bai Qinchen and the others, his face showing relief and excitement, and said, "Congratulations on winning the overall championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"At the same time, thank you for bringing this championship to our Heavenly Dou Empire!" Emperor Xueye said gratefully.

This continent-wide elite tournament for advanced soul master academies has been held three times before. The Star Luo Empire won the championship once, the Spirit Hall won the championship once, but the Heaven Dou Empire had never won it before.

This was a huge blow to the morale of the people of the Heaven Dou Empire, after all, it represented the defeat of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Fortunately, this year Blue Tyrant Academy stepped up and won the overall championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, which made up for this shortcoming and restored the public's confidence.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me." Bai Qinchen smiled and said, "Winning the overall championship in this competition is entirely due to Your Majesty's support."

"Hahaha! Excellent!" Emperor Xueye laughed loudly; "In that case, I shall also offer you a toast to celebrate your triumphant return!"

As he spoke, Emperor Xueye raised his wine cup and clinked it with Bai Qinchen in the void.

Bai Qinchen immediately picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Emperor Xueye's, and then tilted his head back to drink the wine in his glass.

Xiao Wu and the other girls also stood up, clinked glasses with Emperor Xue Ye, and then drank the wine in their glasses.

"Sit down, sit down, have some food!" Emperor Xueye invited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Qinchen and the women took their seats.

The banquet was quite grand, with Emperor Xueye, the Empress, and their concubines among the attendees, as well as some members of the royal family and other officials.

Of course, the most important person is Emperor Xueye himself.

Unbeknownst to Emperor Xueye, ever since Bai Qinchen appeared, the beautiful eyes of his empress and concubines had never left him, their eyes revealing deep infatuation and love.

During the time Bai Qinchen was away from the Heavenly Dou Empire, they missed him to the core.

Bai Qinchen also noticed the girls' gazes and secretly winked at them.

"Bai Qinchen, you have won the championship this time. Is there any reward you would like? Just say the word, and I will grant it to you," Emperor Xueye said with a smile.

"It is our duty to contribute to the Heavenly Dou Empire and gain honor; we do not need any reward," Bai Qinchen said with a faint smile.

He wanted far more than that; he wanted Emperor Xueye to give him his harem, but how could that be possible?

He also wanted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover so he could go to Seagod Island and see if he could seize Tang San's Seagod inheritance opportunity, then use the Seagod's Light to completely revive Yue Rou and devour her.

But this kind of thing has to be brought out by Emperor Xueye himself.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Xueye laughed heartily, stroking his beard. He then looked at the eunuch beside him and ordered, "Go and bring out the rare treasures from our Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury so that Bai Qinchen can choose from them."

Bai Qinchen's words pleased Emperor Xueye greatly.

However, no matter how happy he was, he couldn't refuse to give Bai Qinchen the reward if Bai Qinchen didn't want it.

Otherwise, who will serve the Heavenly Dou Empire in the future?

"When the treasures are brought up, you can choose whatever you like. Each of you must pick at least one, understand?" Emperor Xueye turned to Bai Qinchen and the others and gave the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Qinchen and the others all bowed and expressed their gratitude.

"Alright, alright!" Emperor Xueye waved his hand and said, "This is only part of the reward. There is another, more important matter to announce."

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Emperor Xueye.

Emperor Xueye looked around, then glanced at Bai Qinchen and the others, and said, "I have decided to confer upon Bai Qinchen the title of a prince of a different surname, with the title of Bai Guan! From now on, he will not be required to pay homage, and within the empire, he will be three ranks higher than any official he meets."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the courtiers were immediately astonished.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" An old minister immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Bai is still too young and I'm afraid he is not up to the task."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rescind your decree!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

The other civil officials also knelt down.

This was a conferment of a title upon a woman of the opposite sex, not an ordinary conferment. The court officials were not familiar with Bai Qinchen, so naturally they did not want another woman of the opposite sex to vie for power and profit.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xueye frowned, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"What? Do I need your consent to bestow titles upon my subjects?" Emperor Xueye glanced indifferently at the kneeling officials.

Upon hearing this, the officials trembled and immediately lowered their heads, daring not to utter another word.

"The White Crown King is a six-ring Soul Emperor at such a young age. Who among you can match such a cultivation speed? The White Crown King led Blue Tyrant Academy to win the overall championship of this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Who among you can do that?" Emperor Xueye glanced at the kneeling ministers, pointed at one person and said coldly, "You, your son also participated in the competition last time, right? What place did he get? What is his strength now?"

"Your grandson participated in the competition two years ago, right? Ten years have passed, has he advanced to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor level?"

"And you, you, you, your children, have they ever achieved any good grades?"

Those officials who were named immediately fell silent, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, and dared not make a move.

"White Crown, Hundred Crowns! I hope that King White Crown will bring more victories to our Heavenly Dou Empire in the future!" Emperor Xueye looked at Bai Qinchen and said earnestly.

If it were merely a championship, Emperor Xueye would certainly not have bestowed upon Bai Qinchen the title of a prince of a different surname. What he valued more was Bai Qinchen's strength and potential.

At such a young age, he is a six-ring Soul Emperor, a monstrous genius that even the Spirit Hall has never seen before. He will definitely become a giant in the future. He must win him over before Bai Qinchen fully matures.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Qinchen naturally didn't stand on ceremony, stood up, bowed to Emperor Xueye, and expressed his gratitude.

Upon seeing this, the assembled officials all wore bitter expressions, yet none dared to utter a word of rebuttal. They could only respectfully bow to Bai Qinchen, saying, "King Bai!"

Chapter 309 Re-entering the Snow Night Emperor's Harem

"Your Majesty!" A eunuch and a palace maid entered carrying a tray.

"Come on! Lift the lid and let them choose for themselves," Emperor Xueye said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

"Yes!" The eunuch nodded and slowly peeled off the red cloth covering each treasure box.

Instantly, a dazzling radiance emanated from the treasure chests, brightening the entire hall considerably.

Upon seeing these treasures, the courtiers immediately became envious.

The treasures in these chests are priceless, and each one is extremely rare and unique.

Bai Qinchen appeared much calmer, his gaze sweeping over the treasure boxes until it finally settled on a blue gemstone, a look of joy appearing on his face.

The blue gemstone is entirely translucent blue, triangular in shape, and only the size of a palm.

Amidst the crystalline blue light, a precious glow emanated, and strange energy fluctuations continuously emanated from it. On this blue triangular object, water-like patterns rippled. These patterns did not seem to be carved, but rather seemed to be alive, with rings of blue light shimmering, reflecting a faint precious glow throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty, I've chosen this one!" Bai Qinchen pointed to the sapphire and said to Emperor Xueye.

"Oh?" Emperor Xueye was somewhat surprised upon hearing Bai Qinchen's words, then smiled slightly and praised, "You do have good taste. This item is called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, a national treasure of our Heavenly Dou Empire. In a sense, it can be considered a soul tool. From now on, it will be the symbol of the White Crown King. This item has many uses. Once you return, you only need to infuse your soul power into it, and you will naturally understand."

"It really is the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. With it, I can go to Seagod Island." Bai Qinchen thought to himself. Then he cupped his hands to Emperor Xueye and said, "Your Majesty, since this is a national treasure, I cannot keep it for myself. Let me look at the others."

Since Emperor Xueye has said that this is a national treasure, we should at least be polite to him.

"Hey, what are you saying, White Crown King!" Emperor Xueye waved his hand and said with a smile, "A national treasure should naturally be matched with a national treasurer. I believe that White Crown King will definitely be able to lead the Heavenly Dou Empire to prosperity in the future!"

"Your Majesty flatters me," Bai Qinchen said modestly.

Emperor Xueye shook his head and then said, "White Crown King, I will give you this Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Don't be shy."

"Then thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Bai Qinchen nodded and accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover without further hesitation.

The assembled officials watched with envy as Bai Qinchen accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

After all, this is the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and its value cannot be measured by money or wealth.

However, they also knew that from now on, Bai Qinchen could be considered to be second only to the emperor in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

After Bai Qinchen finished choosing his treasures, Xiao Wu and the others also started choosing their treasures one by one.

They didn't really pick much; they just randomly picked a few treasures and that was it.

"Alright, everyone, continue eating and drinking!" Emperor Xueye waved to the eunuch, then raised his cup to signal everyone.

The courtiers also raised their glasses.

The banquet became lively once again.

After the banquet, Emperor Xueye, drunk, was helped away by eunuchs.

Seeing that the Emperor Xueye had left, the courtiers were no longer restrained and all raised their wine cups to drink and congratulate Bai Qinchen.

"Qinchen, we'll head back now," Xiaowu said, tugging at Bai Qinchen's sleeve.

"Okay, you guys go back first." Bai Qinchen responded, then looked at Yue Rou and said, "Aunt Yue, you go back with Xiao Wu and the others."

Yue Rou's soul had just awakened, and he was heading back to the academy with Xiao Wu and the others. He was also going to visit Emperor Xue Ye's harem later.

"Mm." Yue Rou nodded gently and left the hall with Xiao Wu and the others.

"Bai Guanwang, congratulations on winning the championship! Here, let me toast you!" An old man raised his wine glass and smiled slightly at Bai Qinchen.

Bai Qinchen also picked up his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then nodded to them, saying, "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, several more members of the royal family came over to clink glasses with Bai Qinchen, seemingly wanting to do business with him.

Before they knew it, it was already evening, and Bai Qinchen took his leave.

He has a date tonight!

They also need to take good care of Emperor Xueye's empress and concubines.

Bai Qinchen secretly carried Renxue into Emperor Xueye's harem and headed straight for Empress Ye Xiyan's palace.

"King Bai Guan!" When Bai Qinchen pushed open the door to Empress Ye Xiyan's palace, he saw Ye Xiyan and Liu Menglu kneeling on the ground, calling out in a charming voice.

Ye Xiyan and Liu Menglu were dressed in thin gauze, revealing their graceful and alluring curves.

"Get up, everyone," Bai Qinchen said, nodding slightly.

"Thank you, King Bai!" Liu Menglu and the others stood up and obediently came to Bai Qinchen's side, their soft bodies pressed against him, their fragrance filling the air.

"Qinchen, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" Ye Xiyan hugged Bai Qinchen's arm, her beautiful eyes gazing at him, her voice extremely charming.

"I missed you all too! I just got back and came looking for you." Bai Qinchen's lips curled into a wicked smile, then he reached out and pinched Ye Xiyan's delicate cheek, chuckling softly, "Are you all ready tonight?"

"I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for tonight!" Ye Xiyan's breath was sweet and fragrant, and her eyes seemed to be shimmering with tears.

"Haha, since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony." Bai Qinchen laughed loudly, then picked up Ye Xiyan by the waist and placed her on the bed.

Liu Menglu, Lin Rou'er, and the others also gathered around, surrounding Bai Qinchen and showering him with all sorts of kisses.

"White Crown King, let us help you take off your clothes!" Shen Yulan and Xue Caiyi said with a coquettish smile, and then removed Bai Qinchen's outer robe.
