Cang Yue smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Fen. Cang Yue is fine, Young Master Fen, don't worry. I wonder why Young Master Fen came here this time?"

Just now, Cang Shuo said very bluntly that the only purpose of Fen Juecheng's coming was to see her. But Cang Yue seemed not to understand.

Fen Juecheng also smiled slightly, and said gently and frankly: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been training in the major branches of the Xuanfu in the past two years. Juecheng is concerned about her and admires her immensely. Although I dream of seeing the Princess more often, I am afraid of disturbing her, so I have been suppressing it in my heart. Now that I can finally see the Princess again, Juecheng is really happy. Her Royal Highness the Princess is more beautiful and elegant than she was two years ago. The legendary celestial fairy is no more than this. In Juecheng's opinion, the beauty of Her Royal Highness the Princess is a heaven-sent treasure of the Blue Wind Royal Family and even the entire Blue Wind Empire."

As he spoke, Fen Juecheng's admiration and obsession were all revealed, naked and without any cover. However, Princess Cang Yue seemed to have not noticed any of this, and still smiled faintly: "Young Master Fen, you are too kind to praise me. Cang Yue cannot accept it."

"I thank Young Master Fen for the compliment on behalf of my sister. I also deeply agree that my sister is the treasure of my royal family." Cang Shuo said with a smile, and his eyes turned and he made a subtle gesture to the follower behind him. The follower immediately understood what he meant, and immediately stepped forward and whispered something in his ear in a pretentious manner.

“Oh?” Cang Shuo was surprised, and then apologized to Fen Juecheng: “Young Master Fen, I suddenly remembered that there is an urgent matter that I have not dealt with yet, so I must excuse myself for a while... Imperial sister, Young Master Fen has not been to the palace for a long time, so please accompany Young Master Fen for a walk in the palace.”

“Please forgive Cang Yue for refusing.” As soon as Cang Shuo finished speaking, Cang Yue directly rejected it: “It’s not that Cang Yue doesn’t want to. My father sent someone to convey his order, asking me to go to the bedroom at this time to discuss important matters. Cang Yue dare not disobey my father’s order. I hope my brother and Young Master Fen will not be offended. Cang Yue will leave first.”

After saying that, Cangyue nodded slightly and walked out of Lanyue Palace without hesitation.

Cang Shuo frowned, but Fen Juecheng just smiled calmly. When Cang Yue walked past him, he suddenly turned around and said, "Your Highness, when Juecheng arrived at the palace, I accidentally heard that the princess seemed to be trying her best to find a strange flower called the 'Soul Burning Flower'. I wonder if the princess has found it? If she hasn't found it yet, Juecheng happens to know where the Soul Burning Flower is."

Fen Juecheng's arrival made Cang Yue feel uneasy and uncomfortable, and she just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Fen Juecheng's words made her body stiffen, and her steps to leave were frozen there. She turned around and said in a calm tone: "Does Master Fen really mean what he said? Cang Yue is indeed looking for the Burning Soul Flower. If Master Fen knows where to find it, please let me know. Cang Yue will be very grateful."

Fen Juecheng smiled and said, "Of course, Juecheng will not refuse Princess Cangyue's request. The Soul-burning Flower that Juecheng knows about happens to be in the place where my Fentian Sect practices - the Fiery Sun Realm."

Cang Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she suppressed her excitement and said, "That's great. I wonder if your family can transfer that Soul-Burning Flower to our royal family. You can name the price or the conditions for the transfer as you wish."

Fen Juecheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Cang Yue's extremely beautiful and dignified face and figure with almost greed, and said in a soft voice: "Juecheng cannot make the decision on this matter. Among the scorching sun talents, only one soul-burning flower has grown in a thousand years. The whole sect regards it as a treasure, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer it to others, but..."

Fen Juecheng paused, and smiled more leisurely: "If the person who wants the Soul Burning Flower is from my sect, and really needs it urgently, and if I, the future sect master, personally plead for mercy, I believe my father and the elders are not stubborn and rigid people, and they will definitely make concessions."

Fen Juecheng's words seemed gentle and reserved, but in fact they were straightforward and forced. Let an outsider become a member of the Burning Heaven Sect, or become a disciple, or marry into the Burning Heaven Sect.

Cang Yue's towering chest rose and fell slightly, but then she slowly shook her head: "Since the Soul Burning Flower is so precious to your family, Cang Yue will not ask for it. Thank you, Master Fen, for telling me. Goodbye."

Cang Yue's straightforward and resolute reaction was beyond Fen Juecheng's expectations. His expression froze, and as he watched Cang Yue leave, his brows slowly sank.

"My imperial sister is still as stubborn as ever." Cang Shuo said. At this moment, facing Fen Juecheng, there was a hint of respect between his words and actions.

“She is more stubborn than before. At least at first, she was very tactful even when she refused. But now, she is so tough, as if telling me not to have any illusions.” Fen Juecheng smiled as if he was mocking himself or angry.

"Master Fen, there is no need to be so pessimistic," Cang Shuo hurriedly consoled him, "With Master Fen's strength, looks, and status, no young talent in the entire Cangfeng Empire can compare to him. Cang Yue is still young and hasn't let go of some things yet. I believe that in a short time, without Master Fen's pursuit, she will take the initiative to come to you and throw herself into your arms." At this point, Cang Shuo hesitated for a while, and then said, "I know a little about the reason why Cang Yue's attitude suddenly became so resolute."

"Oh?" Fen Juecheng's eyes turned.

Cang Shuo said: "According to the information I know, Cang Yue has not only been looking for the Soul Burning Flower, but also for a person, a person she brought back from Xinyue City. It is said that she was very close to him during the months when she brought him back... But don't worry, Master Fen, that person disappeared five months ago. It seems that he entered the Death Wasteland without knowing his own limitations, and never came out again. After he disappeared, I heard from the palace maids around Cang Yue that she cried several times and couldn't sleep or eat..."

"What's that person's name?!"

“Yun Che… is very young, only seventeen this year, but he is extremely talented. Cang Lin and I have both tried to pull him into our camp.”

“Hmph!” Fen Juecheng’s eyebrows were tightly locked together, and a terrifyingly strong murderous aura surged throughout his body: “The woman that this young master likes actually has someone trying to get his hands on her… He’d better die, otherwise, I will make him wish he could neither live nor die!”

The sudden release of anger from Fen Juecheng made Cang Shuo shiver all over. Cang Shuo's bodyguards' eyes widened and they trembled in fear. Because the aura of profound energy coming from Fen Juecheng... had clearly reached the realm of earthly profound energy!

————————————

The realm of the Dragon God’s trial, an endless plain.

This is also the fifth month since Yun Che entered here.

In front of us, there is a gurgling stream with clear water. In the clear water, fish of various colors and shapes are swimming happily.

Yun Che gently placed Chu Yuechan on the soft grass beside the stream, then squatted by the stream, looked at the fish swimming in the stream and said with a smile: "Little fairy, we have fish soup to drink again... Well, what flavor of fish soup should we drink today?"

As soon as the voice fell, Yun Che's left hand had already plunged into the water like lightning, and caught a large fish that was nearly a foot long. At this moment, a river rock to his right suddenly flipped, and a giant crab that was half the size of Yun Che's body shot up, and the huge black crab claws opened and clamped Yun Che's neck fiercely... The barbs on the crab claws shone coldly, not to mention a person's neck, even steel could be broken with one clamp.

Yun Che threw the fish in his left hand onto the grass, and without even looking up, he stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed the edge of the crab’s claw. With a force on his hand, he hurled the entire killer crab towards a river rock nearby.

Yun Che’s arm strength was not just ordinary and terrifying. With a loud “bang”, the river stones shattered into pieces, and the killer crab was also knocked half unconscious. The noise also stirred up a hornet’s nest, and more than a dozen killer crabs jumped up at the same time. Their huge claws were like open guillotines, cutting with a cold light. Yun Che drew out Dragon Fault like lightning, and with a move of his body, three figures that were completely indistinguishable to the naked eye flashed in three different directions in an instant. The eight thousand jin Dragon Fault in his hand was like a light feather. In a few breaths, he swung out more than a dozen swords, and each sword hit the back of a killer crab.

The killer crab was a dangerous beast of the second level of the Spiritual Profound Realm. It had terrifying claws, and its shell was extremely hard, making it difficult for ordinary Spiritual Profound Realm practitioners to hurt it. But after Yun Che struck hard, thirteen overlapping explosions sounded, and the shells of the thirteen killer crabs all exploded. The violent profound energy immediately surged in, instantly breaking their lifelines.

With a flick of his wrist, Dragon Fault returned to Yun Che’s back. In order to fully adapt to the weight of Dragon Fault, after cultivating Star God Shattered Shadow to the second level, he always carried Dragon Fault on his back.

“Eighty-three thousand nine hundred and forty-seven.” As the thirteen killer crabs perished, the number in Yun Che’s mind was refreshed. Looking at the dead crabs lying on the ground with their legs up in the air, Yun Che pinched his chin and muttered, “I wonder if these big crabs can be used to make soup…”

Yun Che finally gave up this tempting idea, carried the fish and walked back to Chu Yuechan, then set up a stove on the grass, put stream water and fish in it, and started a fire… If the Phoenix knew that Yun Che used the Phoenix flame the most after obtaining the Phoenix blood, I wonder if it would be so angry that it would burn Yun Che into ashes.

As soon as the stove fire started, troubles came one after another. The grass under his feet moved abnormally. Without waiting for the things underground to come out, Yun Che's hand suddenly pierced into the ground and pulled out a spiritual profound beast, the Iron-Armored Earth Dragon, which was about to attack. Then, he tied its body into a knot in a few strokes and threw it far away... Poor Iron-Armored Earth Dragon, a low-level spiritual profound beast, with a body as hard as steel, was like an ordinary hemp rope in Yun Che's hands. Although Yun Che's profound strength level was low, his arm strength was something that even high-level profound practitioners in the Spiritual Profound Realm could never compare to.

The Iron-clad Earth Dragon was tangled into a knot and twitched chaotically on the grass, but soon its blood flowed backwards and it could no longer move.

“Eighty-three thousand nine hundred and forty-eight.” Yun Che muttered in a low voice. Just as he finished, he suddenly swung his arm upwards, and a beam of phoenix flame shot out, knocking down the two Storm Eagles that were about to swoop down from the sky.

Now, after five months of mastering it, his Phoenix Break no longer needs to be activated by the heavy sword, but can be launched by the arm. Because the arm can also be regarded as a heavy sword.

With the heat of the phoenix flame, the fish soup was ready in less than sixty breaths.

After serving the fish soup, Yun Che blew it carefully to cool it down, then came to the side of the little fairy, lifted her upper body, and brought the small bowl close to her lips: "Come on, it's not hot anymore."

Chu Yuechan opened her beautiful eyes, parted her tender lips, and drank the fish soup in small sips with very little effort. When she just drank the first sip, a strange cry came from the sky, and six strange large birds with long tails and green bodies swooped down from different directions, heading straight for Yun Che.

Yun Che did not even raise his head. He waved his left hand upwards and caught Dragon Fault in his hand. He locked onto the positions of the six large green birds and waved Dragon Fault six times in two breaths. In the third breath, he had already put Dragon Fault behind his back.

Chirp, chirp, chirp…

Amid the chaotic phoenix calls, six phoenixes soared into the sky, accurately bombarding the six green birds that were flying towards them, and blasting them away one by one. During the whole process, not a drop of the fish soup in the small bowl was spilled, and Chu Yuechan was not startled, and her snow-white lips did not leave the small bowl. When all six birds fell, half of the fish soup in the small bowl had been drunk.

Because they had been facing this kind of situation every day for the past five months, they had long been accustomed to it, and she fully believed that Yun Che could withstand it perfectly.

For five months, they were under attack from various mysterious beasts almost every moment, sometimes more, sometimes less, but almost without interruption. What the Ancient Blue Dragon said before, "I can't sleep at night, I can't eat in peace", was not an exaggeration or a threat.

The difficulty of this level of the trial is more than ten times higher than the first level. The terrifying thing is not the high level of the mysterious beasts, nor their astonishing number, but the non-stop attacks! On the ground, underground, in the water, and in the air, the mysterious beasts may attack at any time. If the mind is relaxed for even a second, it is possible to die. In this situation, it may be easy to hold on for one or two days, and three or four days can be barely enough, but for a longer time, even if the body can hold on, the mind will collapse... If it were an ordinary person, even if the profound strength was twice as high as Yun Che, it would be almost impossible to hold on.

But for Yun Che, the difficulty of this trial was no higher than the first level.

Because, he spent his last life being hunted. The hunting of the mysterious beasts in the endless plains was terrifying, but in his last life, he had endured the hunting of all the supreme sects and all the supreme masters in the world! And it lasted for seven years. During those seven years, his alertness, perception, reaction, and anti-hunting ability were also tempered to an extremely terrifying level in such hunting.

After his rebirth, he had no chance to display these abilities. However, in this endless wasteland where countless mysterious beasts were chasing him, these abilities of his were reawakened.
