“Flirting with your sister?” Yun Che immediately laughed, and rubbed her face with his hands as if kneading dough: “What nonsense are you talking about? She is your sister! There is a big battle coming up soon, how could I have such a weird thought.”

"Hehe," Shui Meiyin said with a smile on her face: "Even if your mind is not on this, your eyes, words and actions are still very honest."

Yun Che: (Hmm??)

"In the past two months, I have mentioned you to my sister every day," Shui Meiyin said in a sly and mysterious voice, "I also 'secretly' told my sister that you have always had improper thoughts about her, often secretly looking at her from behind, and asked me to ask her if she wants to be your concubine."

“~! @#￥%…” Yun Che’s eyes widened, and his scalp instantly went numb: “I…when did I say that!”

"Of course you didn't say that." Shui Meiyin blinked hard.

Yun Che took a breath with a hiss.

No wonder Shui Yingyue showed a strange reaction to what I said just now!

“I don’t care.” Shui Meiyin blinked her starry eyes, her tender pink lips curled up in a cute and paranoid arc: “Sister is the most beautiful and perfect fairy in the world. Except for Brother Yun Che, I don’t allow anyone to touch my sister!”

Yun Che: “…………”

“At worst, I can use my Immortal Soul to knock my sister unconscious one day, then strip naked and send her to Brother Yun Che’s bed. A super pervert like Brother Yun Che will definitely not let her go, hehe.”

It sounded like a practical joke that only existed in a girl’s imagination, but Yun Che saw that her eyes actually revealed a determination and... eagerness to try?

And the title of "super pervert"... I haven't heard it for a long time.

“Let’s talk about it later. Let’s talk about it later.” Yun Che groaned helplessly and weakly.

However, the heavy mood that had been weighing on him for the past few days was relieved a lot invisibly.

Shui Meiyin turned around and hugged Yun Che's arms tightly with both hands, with her soft chest pressed against his body: "This is my first time in the Southern Divine Region, but I have heard a lot of rumors about the Southern Divine Region a long time ago. In particular, Brother Jiujiu has told me more than once that if I come to the Southern Divine Region one day, I must go to a place called [Seven Star Realm] no matter what."

“Seven Star Realm?” Yun Che searched for information about the Southern Divine Region, but had no impression of it.

"It's a very small lower star realm. Brother Yun Che probably hasn't heard of it." Shui Meiyin narrated in an ethereal and soul-stirring voice: "According to the location that Brother Jiujiu told me, it's not too close to here, but it's not particularly far either. If we hurry up, we can get there in five or six hours."

"Shall we go there together and take a look?"

“Now?” Yun Che’s eyebrows twitched.

"Yes! Brother Jiujiu has said it too many times. So when I entered the Southern Divine Region, the first thing I thought of was the Seven Star Realm." Shui Meiyin looked at him, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. It was obvious that she had longed for this small star realm for a long time.

“…” Yun Che’s first reaction was that Shui Meiyin was joking, and his second reaction was to refuse.

At their speed it would take five or six hours, which is definitely a very long distance.

The round trip plus the stopover would take more than a day. There were still seven days before the assault on the Dragon God Realm. As the core of the Northern Territory's power, it was not appropriate for him to waste such time at this time.

"Let's go! Let's go now, okay? Okay?"

She shook Yun Che’s arm, her voice soft and tender, her eyes full of longing, and she softly pushed back the words of rejection that Yun Che was about to say.

“What’s so special about the Seven Star Realm? Why do you want to go there so much?” Yun Che asked.

"Hmm..." She seemed to think about it seriously, then her face was charming and her pink lips gently touched his ear: "Actually, although Jiujiu did mention it many times, they were all excuses."

"I... I want to monopolize Brother Yun Che for a day... Just the two of us, is that okay?"

The warm breath touched him lightly, and the soft sound penetrated his soul. He felt the girl's sweet tongue secretly touching his ear, bringing a tingling sensation throughout his body.

“Okay, then let’s go to the Seven Star Realm.” Yun Che was very generous and agreed without any reluctance: “I haven’t been out to appreciate the local customs and people since I arrived in the Southern Divine Region. Before the battle with the Dragon God Realm, it would be nice to relax a little.”

He couldn't refuse Shui Meiyin, and he no longer wanted to refuse.

She has given so much for me, but I have never done anything for her. What reason should I have not to satisfy her little willfulness this time?

Yun Che quickly sent a message to Chi Wuyao, Yan Tianxiao and the others, and lifted Shui Meiyin’s slender waist with his arm: “Let’s go! No matter whether it’s the Seven Star Realm or the Nine Star Realm, I will accompany you wherever you want to go today.”

"Yes!" The stars in Shui Meiyin's beautiful eyes sparkled, she embraced him tighter with both arms, and leaned her head close to his side. Suddenly she smiled and said, "Do you want to bring your sister along too?"

“Let’s not do that.” Yun Che quickly shook his head.

"I can help you take advantage of her."

“…Stop making trouble!”

"whee!"

Just as the two were about to stand up, Caizhi's figure appeared in their sight.

Caizhi had known the name Shui Meiyin for a long time. During the Profound God Conference in the Eastern Divine Region, when Shui Meiyin was only fifteen years old, Caizhi had seen him through the Eternal Sky Projection.

And today is their first official meeting.

But compared to the past, Shui Meiyin's appearance and temperament have undergone a drastic transformation. However, due to the influence of the Heavenly Wolf's divine power, her appearance has hardly changed... and because of falling into darkness, she has lost the spirit that made people pity her, and has gained a cold and gloomy look that makes people fear.

Caizhi glanced at the two people clinging to each other from a distance. She didn't say anything, didn't stop, and walked away indifferently.

Just as Yun Che was about to speak, Shui Meiyin’s voice preceded him, “Sister Caizhi.”

"..." After a brief hesitation, Caizhi still stopped and turned around. The two girls' eyes met. Although both had black pupils, one was as dark as the abyss, and the other was as bright as the starry sky.

"Sister?" Caizhi asked calmly, and it was unclear whether she was puzzled by the title or expressing dissatisfaction.

According to the normal passage of time, Shui Meiyin is several years younger than Caizhi, but if we strictly count the three thousand years in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm… then Shui Meiyin is three thousand years older than Caizhi.

Who calls whom sister? This is actually a very complicated question.

But Shui Meiyin didn't feel the slightest bit of entanglement.

“I am Shui Meiyin from the Liuguang Realm, and I’m Brother Yun Che’s fiancée.” Shui Meiyin introduced herself to Caizhi in a very serious manner.

“I know.” Caizhi replied briefly and coldly.

Facing Caizhi's indifference, Shui Meiyin still smiled sweetly: "Then... Sister Caizhi, I will borrow Brother Yun Che for one day, and I will return it to you tomorrow."

After taking a look at Yun Che, Caizhi turned away quickly and said in a cold voice, “He doesn’t belong to me alone, you don’t have to give him back to me.”

After she finished speaking, she released her profound energy and disappeared in an instant amidst the spatial vibrations.

Yun Che opened his mouth and then slowly exhaled.

Caizhi has changed a lot over the years.

He clearly remembered the first time they met. She was wearing a colorful dress and looked like an extremely cute and sweet elf. She was extremely smart and guessed his identity through clues. She also teased him thoroughly under the name of "Little Jasmine".

And now... she seemed to have sealed off her former world, forcing herself to step into another dark and gloomy world.

Looking down, he found that Shui Meiyin was looking at the direction where Caizhi left, and she didn't look away for a long time.

“What are you looking at?” Yun Che asked.

Shui Meiyin's lips opened and closed, and she said softly, "I'm looking at a little girl who tries to wrap herself tightly with indifference, darkness, and resentment, but is actually floating and wandering inside, lonely and worried about gains and losses, afraid of herself, and even more afraid that the people she cares about will hate her..."

“…” Yun Che’s heartstrings trembled slightly.

“Brother Yun Che,” Shui Meiyin raised her head and said in a soft voice, “Next time, don’t let her run away. You must catch up with her and hold her tight. If she struggles, hold her tighter… She will not have the strength to break free.”

"She looks like she doesn't need anyone, but in fact...she needs you more than me, more than anyone else."

Yun Che looked back in the direction where Caizhi had left. He was distracted for a moment before smiling and saying, “You always like to say these kinds of weird things… Let’s go.”

The two held hands and flew side by side above the Shifang Canglan Realm, taking in the vast blue kingdom.

“How is your father recovering recently?” Yun Che asked.

"Father is in good condition. Especially after knowing that his profound strength can be fully restored, his mood has improved a lot." Shui Meiyinxin replied with a smile.

Yun Che apologized and said, “The changes in the Southern Divine Region were really sudden, which resulted in my inability to go and heal Senior Shui’s injuries. After we kill Long Bai and break through the Dragon God Realm, I will return to the Glazed Light Realm with you.”

“I’m going to keep my word this time.” Shui Meiyin held Yun Che’s hand against her chest, allowing him to clearly feel the beating of her heart.

Below, the Northern Territory profound practitioners who released dark auras were constantly passing by. When they sensed Yun Che's aura of the Demon Lord, or accidentally looked up and saw Yun Che's figure, they would immediately kneel on the ground, with their heads bowed, and devoutly express their admiration and loyalty to the Demon Lord.

This was true for all nearby Northern Territory profound practitioners, from realm kings to demon soldiers, without exception.

“No realm king or god emperor has ever been revered like this.” Shui Meiyin sighed, “Brother Yun Che, I believe more and more that in their will, they are no longer just fighting for the Northern Divine Region. Perhaps, they will also be willing to fight for you without regrets, and even without fear of life and death.”

Shui Meiyin's seemingly casual sighs actually touched upon a place in Yun Che's mind that he didn't want to touch.

"I am just an opportunity and leader that the Northern Divine Region has been waiting for for a long time. Without me, there will always be another era where someone who may be more suitable will appear. Changing the perception of darkness and the fate of the Northern Divine Region is what they have wished for generations. It is not comparable to the simple identity of 'Demon Lord' at all."

Shui Meiyin opened her lips and wanted to say something else, but when she saw Yun Che looking straight ahead and deliberately not looking down, she did not speak again, but smiled and said, “We are almost out of the Canglan Realm. Wow! Look, there is a purple-red star realm over there, it looks like there is a lightning vein entrenched there, let’s go over there and take a look first.”

"good!"

Yun Che certainly would not refuse. The trajectory of their flight slightly shifted, and they flew towards the world emitting purple light.

Just like that, Yun Che emptied his mind and accompanied Shui Meiyin along the way, gradually approaching the Seven Star Realm that she longed for.
