"Cai Li, Emperor Yuan sent me a message saying that he has something extremely urgent to discuss with me. I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a while." Yun Che said goodbye to Hua Cai Li with a helpless look on his face. He had to find an excuse to leave.

Qianye Ying'er, who was standing beside him, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of smugness that was hard to conceal. She crossed her arms leisurely in front of her chest, and it was obvious that she was about to leave with Yun Che.

“Brother Yun, you promised me that you wouldn’t lie to me again. If I find out that Uncle Yuanhuang didn’t ask you to go, you should know what the consequences will be!” Hua Caili’s expression was stern. Although she was reluctant, she also understood Yun Che’s thoughts and ultimately did not stop him from leaving.

“…”

Yun Che's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, a strong sense of danger piercing his spine. However, he could only bite the bullet and gently nodded.

I can only ask Mosu to tell a little lie, he thought to himself.

"Daddy, it doesn't matter if you don't come back. I won't miss you." Xingluo didn't know when a piece of osmanthus pastry appeared in her hand. At this moment, her little mouth was covered with pastry crumbs, and she looked very cute.

"Miss Blonde, can you come back to visit me and Xingchen more often? Your cooking is so delicious! Woohoo, I'm almost reluctant to see you go." Xingluo didn't try to persuade Yun Che to stay, but instead expressed her reluctance to part with Qianye Ying'er. According to seniority, she should have called Qianye Ying'er "Auntie," but over time, she had become accustomed to calling her "Sister."

"Xingluo, be good. Next time I come back, I promise to make you more delicious snacks, okay?" Qianye Ying'er smiled and squatted down, gently stroking Xingluo and Xingchen's little heads. Then, like a magic trick, she took out a large bag of various snacks and handed them to them. "These snacks should be enough for you to eat for a while."

"Wow, thank you, blonde lady!" Xingluo's big eyes instantly flashed with excitement, which was the irresistible joy when faced with delicious food.

Although Xing Chen didn't say anything, he was the fastest to take the snack handed to him by Qianye Ying'er and held it carefully in his hands.

Hua Caili witnessed this scene, her expression slightly changed, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, and she secretly made up her mind: when Qianye Ying'er comes back next time, she must make food that tastes better than hers and conquer everyone with her own strength.

…………

"Where are we going now?" As soon as she left the Zhetian Divine Kingdom, Qianye Ying'er relaxed completely, no longer as reserved as before. Her tone also became much lighter, without a hint of jealousy.

“You’ve never really understood the full scope of the abyss. I thought of showing you around. Perhaps after this journey, you’ll gain a completely new understanding of this world.” Yun Che said this expressionlessly, but his heart was like a turbulent sea, constantly thinking about the various things he would face next.

"Hmph, do you want to meet your other confidantes in the abyss? I don't believe that after all these years in the abyss, Hua Caili is the only woman by your side." Qianye Ying'er snorted disdainfully and turned her face away, feeling quite upset about this.

When Yun Che was in the God Realm, he was surrounded by many women, but she didn't feel much jealousy, let alone hostility towards them. However, strangely, when it came to the women Yun Che met in the Abyss, she couldn't help but feel a strong resistance from the bottom of her heart, and she harbored deep hostility towards them.

Perhaps deep down in Qianye Ying'er's heart, she always regarded everyone in the Abyss as her sworn enemy.

Back then, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu had died tragically at the hands of Mo Beichen right before her eyes. That bloody scene had become a deep scar, etched deep within her heart. Therefore, Qianye Ying'er held an extreme aversion to the people of the Abyss, believing them to be the embodiment of evil. This sense of evil far surpassed that of those feared demons of the Northern Divine Territory back then!

Later, she accidentally fell into the abyss, and the first person she saw was Hua Qingxiao. This person's actions deepened her disgust for this world.

It wasn't until she followed Hua Caili to the Zhetian Divine Kingdom that her views changed slightly. In the Zhetian Sword Pavilion, everyone was kind and friendly, with pure hearts. Because of this, she was able to approach Xingluo and Xingchen without any obstacles, and no one would suspect that she would harm the two children.

In reality, Qianye Ying'er knew very well that Hua Caili was a kind-hearted person and would never use her status or cultivation level to suppress her. Otherwise, she would have no chance to "compete with" Hua Caili for Yun Che.

However, the "prejudice" buried deep in the heart will not easily disappear because of the occasional bit of kindness.

"Qianying, the women I met here were initially mere pawns, deployed out of necessity to complete my plan. The safety of the divine realm has always been on my mind. Every word the Demon Queen has instructed me has been etched deep in my heart, never forgetting it for a single moment. Therefore, at first, I truly never considered giving my true heart to her."

“But as I’ve been in the world of the abyss for longer and longer, I’ve gradually become deeply drawn to it. I have to admit that I’ve now developed genuine feelings for them. Although these feelings aren’t as passionate and intense as they are for you, they still hold a special place in my heart.” A complex expression crossed Yun Che’s face. Everything seemed like fate, something he couldn’t resist.

"Cai Li, you've already met her. I'm sure you can sense her unique innocence and kindness. Next, I want to take you to meet someone else. I believe you'll have the same feeling, and even see the shadow of someone familiar in her." Yun Che's words were filled with subtle hints. He tried to gradually introduce Xia Qingyue's existence so that Qianye Ying'er could be mentally prepared in advance.
