Chapter 1372: Reunion

In the bedroom below, a woman walked out slowly. She was wearing golden clothes and a jade crown. With just a simple step, a sense of majesty and nobility came towards her. She raised her delicate head slightly, looked up at the sky, and smiled at Yun Che: “Yun Che, you’re back.”

“Well, I’m back.” Yun Che looked at her, his eyes becoming extremely gentle, unable to look away for a long time.

"Everyone, please leave." She said calmly, "Master Dongfang, you also leave."

"yes."

Following her order, everyone retreated in an orderly manner… However, the news of Yun Che’s return also spread like a surging wave from that moment on. It would not take long for it to spread throughout the entire Profound Sky Continent and even the Illusory Demon Realm.

Feng Xian'er brought Yun Che down from the sky and landed in front of Cang Yue. With no one around, Cang Yue no longer needed to maintain her imperial dignity. She opened her lips, and tears stained her cheeks before she said a word... She rushed forward and threw herself heavily into Yun Che's arms.

"Husband...you're back...you're finally...back..."

The warm temperature, the figure and breath that haunt her dreams… She whispered and cried. This Blue Wind Empress who had supported Blue Wind for three years with her frail shoulders and was revered by all the citizens was always so delicate and fragile in front of Yun Che… It was like this back then, and it is still like this now.

“I’m back.” Yun Che said softly, hugging me very gently, but his arms tightened involuntarily: “These past few years, I must have made you worry day and night…”

Cang Yue shook her head and choked up, saying, "As long as my husband is safe and sound...anything is fine..."

Her shoulders trembled violently, and the sobs that she had tried so hard to suppress lasted for a long time before finally easing up... She suddenly remembered that there were others beside her, and hurriedly stood up from Yun Che's chest, but her hands were still tightly holding his arms, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly leave again.

"Xian'er, thank you for accompanying him back." She wiped away her tears and said with a smile. Just now in the bedroom, she heard Yun Che's voice, and also heard the second half of his conversation with Dongfang Xiu... but she didn't mention it, nor did she ask.

Feng Xian'er smiled and shook her head: "Sister Queen, you must not be so polite to me."

As she spoke, she subconsciously turned her gaze to look at Chu Yuechan and her daughter on the side.

As her gaze changed, Cang Yue finally saw Chu Yuechan's figure. Her beautiful eyes and tears froze at the same time. For a moment, she was like in a dream, and she muttered in a lost voice: "Fairy Bingchan..."

Falling from the sky, Chu Yuechan held her daughter's hand and nodded slightly, saying: "After twelve years of separation, the former Princess Cang Yue has become the empress, and her demeanor is far better than before. Yun Che is really lucky."

“Ah hehe.” Yun Che smiled.

"Mom, why is she... holding daddy?" Yun Wuxin asked quietly behind Chu Yuechan, her eyes secretly wandering around Cangyue from time to time. Although she was still young and had a shallow concept of father, she also vaguely knew... that father should belong to mother alone?

Looking at Chu Yuechan, and the flawless girl beside her, Cang Yue's heart was completely filled with indescribable warmth and excitement. She whispered in a dreamlike voice, "She is your daughter, right?"

“Yes,” Yun Che nodded: “Her name is Yun Wuxin, and she is the daughter of me and Xiao… Yuechan.”

“……” Cangyue closed his eyes, as if in a dream.

She and Chu Yuechan had experienced what happened at Tianjian Villa. She knew very well what kind of shocking act Chu Yuechan, the leader of the Seven Frozen Cloud Immortals, had done for the "dead" Yun Che. She also knew how much pain and guilt Yun Che had felt towards Chu Yuechan...

Today, he came back, bringing Chu Yuechan and their child...

Everything is perfect like a dream.

"Sister Yuechan, I..." She called softly and could no longer speak.

Although she was a woman, and Yun Che’s legal wife, she could not feel even the slightest jealousy towards Chu Yuechan… No other woman would feel jealousy if they knew what she had done for Yun Che. They would only feel endless gratitude.

"..." Chu Yuechan's eyes wavered and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Cang Yue had always addressed her as “senior” before, but now calling her sister, as Yun Che’s legal wife, was naturally a form of recognition and acceptance of her… With her decades of icy heart, she should not have cared about worldly etiquette, but after this gentle call from her, she couldn’t control the waves of emotion.

"Brother Yun..."

From behind, a dreamy girl's voice came, as soft as clouds and like the sobbing of the wind.

“Xue’er…” Yun Che muttered in a low voice and turned around abruptly. In his sight, in front of the teleportation array with floating white light, Feng Xue’er was dressed in red, with her snow-white hands tightly covering her lips. Her beautiful snow-white face, which was enough to make the banished immortals in the sky feel ashamed, was completely wet with tears running freely.

Wherever Feng Xue'er appeared, all the light would become dim... Chu Yuechan raised her eyes, and at the first glance, she confirmed the identity of this woman. She was wearing a phoenix dress and had a face that was as beautiful as a fairy. She could only be the Phoenix Goddess, and also the number one goddess of Tianxuan, Feng Xue'er.

“Good…good…looks…” Even Yun Wuxin opened his lips and murmured.

With a flash of flame and a fluttering red dress, Feng Xue’er had already thrown herself on Yun Che’s body, her cheek wet with tears pressed tightly against his shoulder. She closed her eyes, feeling the smell and breath that belonged only to Yun Che, and sobbed, “Brother Yun… you’re finally back… you’re finally back… sob… sob…”

When Feng Xue'er pounced on her, a phoenix spiritual pressure from her bloodline caused Feng Xian'er to take a small step back involuntarily, and then she was completely stunned...

Feng Xue'er and Yun Che were engaged, and everyone in the Profound Sky Continent knew about it. However, seeing the Phoenix Goddess, who was the first to achieve the Divine Path and was regarded as a god by all the profound practitioners in the world, crying on Yun Che like a little girl... This was a scene that she could not imagine, and no one else could imagine.

The tears on his chest almost melted Yun Che’s heart. He hugged Feng Xue’er tightly and said lovingly: “Xue’er, I…”

"Little...Che..."

Another voice came from behind, deeply touching Yun Che’s heartstrings.

In front of the teleportation array, Xiao Lingxi and Su Ling'er stood side by side. Su Ling'er smiled with a misty look in her eyes. When Xiao Lingxi saw Yun Che for the first time, her crystal tears fell like jade beads from a broken string. After time froze for a short moment, she moaned softly and rushed towards Yun Che in tears, holding him tightly from his back. The rushing tears soon soaked a large area of his clothes.

“Xiao Che… Xiao Che… Xiao Che…” She called out over and over again. Compared to Cang Yue and Feng Xue’er who were holding back their tears, Xiao Lingxi’s emotions broke out and she soon broke down in tears.

The two women were one in front and one behind, and they refused to let go for a long time. Yun Che’s chest was heaving, and there was a warm breath flowing in every part of his body.

He had vowed to never let them worry and cry again... but he broke his promise again and again...

He didn't dare to think about how many lifetimes it would take for him to pay off the debt of love if he didn't come back this time...

“Xue’er, Lingxi, don’t cry… I’m already back.” He said softly.

“Let her cry.” Su Ling’er came over and said with a smile, “After you left, Sister Lingxi was worried about you and often had the same nightmare. Only when you returned safely did she finally feel relieved.”

“…” With endless guilt in his heart, he reached out and gently patted Xiao Lingxi’s soft back: “Lingxi, dreams are all fake. Look, not only am I back, but I haven’t lost a single hair. If you don’t believe me, you can check carefully later.”

"Humph! You still remembered to come back!"

In the atmosphere of reunion where the heart throbbed with every breath, a cold and piercing voice sounded very inopportunely… Still in front of the teleportation array, a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen was standing there. She was wearing an elegant and gorgeous scarlet gold long dress that trailed on the ground. Her waist was tied up, showing off her slender waist, her face was flawless, her lips were as white as powder, but her starry eyes were cold and indifferent, yet seemed to be faintly shining with water.

Chu Yuechan turned her eyes and looked at her... From the girl, she felt a domineering aura that surpassed her lifelong cognition. This domineering aura was not deliberately released, but was imprinted into her bones. Cold... Arrogant... Blood... Imperial aura... Following Yun Che's description, the identity of this girl emerged in her mind.

Little demon queen!

Yun Che said that she was the emperor of the Illusory Demon Realm and the most beautiful woman in the Illusory Demon Realm... It was indeed true. As a woman, Chu Yuechan had no doubt that if this girl's beautiful eyes could be slightly curved, she would be able to charm countless people and overwhelm the world.

Su Ling'er and Xiao Lingxi, the former was his lifelong bond, the latter grew up with him, and were the closest people in his life. It was natural for them to be infatuated with him.

But the other three women... Cang Yue is the Blue Wind Empress, Feng Xue'er is the Phoenix Goddess, and also the number one person in Tianxuan, and the Little Demon Empress is the Illusory Demon Emperor, the supreme ruler of a continent...

It can be said that all the most outstanding women in the world gathered around him. As soon as they learned that he had returned, no matter what their status or position were, they couldn't wait to come... even this little demon queen who seemed to have cold words and cold eyes and an overwhelming power.

He paid for it with his life... Thinking about the time when Yun Che melted her heart, Chu Yuechan whispered in her heart.

“Cai Yi!” Yun Che turned his eyes quickly and looked at the Little Demon Queen.

Facing his turned gaze, the Little Demon Queen turned her head to the side and snorted coldly, "Four years... it seems like you haven't lost any limbs. Humph, you haven't broken your promise! If you dare to come back another year later... I will definitely go to that God Realm myself and break your legs and drag you back!"

The Little Demon Queen's tone was cold and stern, but anyone could hear the obvious tremor in the last sentence.

“Uh…” Yun Che stole a glance at Yun Wuxin who had been hiding behind Chu Yuechan, and whispered, “Cai Yi, we can talk about this kind of thing slowly in our room. Um… please give me some face as a father in front of my daughter.”

“…” The Little Demon Queen was startled, her beautiful eyes turned back. Feng Xue’er, Xiao Lingxi, and Su Ling’er were all shocked: “Your…daughter?”

In doubt and surprise, their eyes all fell on Yun Wuxin. Looking at this girl who was as cute as a porcelain doll, an equally strange and indescribable emotion gathered in their hearts. Su Ling'er whispered, "Brother Yun Che, the daughter you are talking about, could it be..."

“Yes,” Yun Che smiled and nodded: “This is the daughter of Yuechan and I. Her name is Yun Wuxin and she is eleven years old this year.”

"Ah!!" They cried out in the same voice. Then, they thought of something and looked at Chu Yuechan beside Yun Wuxin: "Could she be... Sister Yuechan?"

Among them, only Cang Yue had seen Chu Yuechan, but beside Yun Che, how could they not know the name Chu Yuechan.

The Little Demon Empress descended from the sky and landed gently in front of Chu Yuechan and Yun Wuxin. The coldness in her eyes turned into a gentleness that Yun Che had rarely seen: “Sister Yuechan, the fact that you are safe and sound is the best news in these years. Over the years... you and your daughter must have suffered. If you are willing to acknowledge us as sisters, we will make up to you with Yun Che in the future for what he owes you.”

“…” Yun Che smiled, but he felt a little jealous in his heart… because in his memory, the Little Demon Queen seemed to have never spoken to him so gently!

"No need," Chu Yuechan shook her head: "These years, I have not lived a hard life, and I have never regretted or complained."

The Little Demon Queen smiled, with endless emotion in her heart. She knew, and they all knew, that Chu Yuechan had always been a heavy burden in Yun Che's heart that he could never let go of. Now, he had returned and found Chu Yuechan and their daughter safe and sound.

There is no more perfect result in the world than this.

Being stared at by so many people, Yun Wuxin's body shrank back even more. Chu Yuechan leaned forward slightly and said softly, "Xin'er, you haven't met your aunts yet."

"..." Yun Wuxin did not move forward, and said timidly in a low voice: "They... seem to like Daddy very much."

"Yeah." Chu Yuechan nodded: "Being liked by so many people shows that Daddy is very powerful. You should be happy for Daddy."

“…” Yun Che’s old face turned slightly red.

“…Yeah.” Yun Wuxin nodded, seeming to understand a little, but also vaguely not understand.

However, none of them realized that in the sky, higher than the clouds, there was a pair of eyes watching them silently.

“…” Mu Xuanyin placed her snow-white hands on her chest, her immortal body trembling as if she was standing in an unbearable cold wind. She was looking at Yun Che, but her eyes were already hazy as if covered by the mist of a dream.
