After leaving the Absolute Cloud Abyss, Yun Che flew towards the Profound Sky Continent. His speed was not fast, and his brows were tightly knitted together, as if he was weighed down with many things on his mind.
Qianye Ying'er followed behind at an even distance, her spiritual sense sweeping over this world that seemed particularly lowly and humble in her perception.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" He Ling asked with concern.
Yun Che regained his composure and asked, “After these few encounters, what kind of person do you think the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is?”
He Ling thought seriously for a while and replied, "When I first saw her, I was very scared, uncontrollably scared. But, after Master and I got close to her a few times, I no longer felt scared. On the contrary... because of her and Master, I changed my previous understanding of 'demons' and 'dark mysterious power'."
"Besides, I think she is very... lonely, a kind of loneliness that is hard to describe. And every time I see her, this feeling becomes stronger."
“…So, I’m not the only one who feels this way.” Yun Che had a complicated expression: “In this world, there are too many people who spend their entire lives pursuing supreme power, status, and strength. The higher the position, the more this is the case.”
“As for the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, her power is irresistible. Her existence is far superior to everything in the world. She can command and drive any living being. She can do whatever she wants. As long as the things she wants exist, she can get them at will. She can decide the fate and survival of any living being. She can even easily change all rules, laws, and patterns.”
"This kind of absolute height and power cannot be possessed by even the Chaos Supreme Dragon Emperor, or even ten Dragon Emperors. Even those supreme powerful beings who have devoted their entire lives to pursuing a higher plane would never dare to hope for such a high position."
“However, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, who possessed all of this, was surprisingly indifferent during the time she returned to the world. No anger or hatred could be seen, nor could the arrogance that looked down on all living things. There was no order, command, or demand from her, and she could not feel any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. In fact, she never made her existence public, nor did she allow those who knew the truth to disclose it to the world.”
“Not only that, she has no interest in the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations or the Ancestral Divine Art.” Yun Che shook his head: “This is hard to understand…”
“The Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor has existed for an extremely long time, and her life experiences are incomparable to any other living being in the world today. Therefore, it is normal for us to find it difficult to understand her state of mind and her thoughts.” He Ling said softly.
Just like… she had been with Shen Xi for several years, but she could never truly understand what she was thinking, especially what she did to Yun Che.
Yun Che thought about it and nodded, “Well, you are right. The only thing I can be sure of is that I feel the same as you do. She is very lonely, and it is a kind of loneliness that we may never understand in our lifetime.”
“She told me to go find her again in a month, and then she will tell me the ‘answer’…” Yun Che’s eyebrows sank, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: “I have a feeling that the ‘answer’ she tells me in a month may directly determine the future fate of Chaos!”
…………
After returning to the Profound Sky Continent, Yun Che used his spiritual sense to scan... Yun Wuxin was indeed in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace again.
Arriving directly at Bingyun Immortal Palace, Yun Wuxin was not practicing, but learning calligraphy from Chu Yuechan. She studied very seriously, her white and tender hands dancing lightly on the paper, with neither too much nor too little strength, and her handwriting was exceptionally beautiful, without any sense of childishness.
Yun Che watched silently. At first, he didn’t want to disturb her. But later, his eyes and mind were unconsciously immersed in her handwriting, and he was unwilling to look away.
After finishing another full article, she looked up at her achievements and smiled happily. Just as she was about to ask her mother for praise, she saw Yun Che who had appeared there at some point and was looking at her with a smile.
“Daddy!” Yun Wuxin’s eyes lit up, and he flew over with a cry. It was at this moment that Chu Yuechan discovered Yun Che’s existence, and her immortal body turned slightly: “You’re back.”
She saw the golden-dressed woman behind Yun Che, and her beautiful eyes suddenly froze.
There was no profound energy released from Qianye Ying'er's body, but that invisible aura that was so overwhelming even at the level of the God Realm gave Chu Yuechan a terrifying sense of oppression that was countless times beyond her cognition.
“Haha,” Yun Che picked up his daughter… However, the fourteen and a half year old Yun Wuxin had grown much taller, her height slightly exceeding his shoulders. She could no longer cross her arms across her chest like she did a few years ago. This made him feel a strange sense of regret, and he blurted out, “It’s only been more than half a month since we last met, how come she seems to have grown taller again?”
Before she knew it, she would be getting married in two years. Xia Qingyue married him when she just turned sixteen.
Time is so cruel...
Yun Wuxin fluttered and laughed on him for a long time, and suddenly turned his attention to Qianye Ying'er, who was standing there quietly. Her figure was so beautiful that even the ignorant Yun Wuxin thought it was unbelievably beautiful: "Daddy, who is this sister? Could it be..."
“She is my… follower!” Yun Che interrupted her words as quickly as possible, and then looked at Chu Yuechan with pure and firm eyes.
Chu Yuechan: "..."
"Follower?" Yun Wuxin was obviously a little skeptical: "Is it really not a weird relationship? And why is this sister wearing a mask? But this mask is so beautiful."
“Of course it’s because she’s not pretty, so she has to cover her face.” Yun Che said without blushing or beating his heart.
“…” Qianye Ying’er turned her face slightly away, seeming to dislike Yun Che’s comment.
"Huh?" Yun Wuxin looked at Qianye Ying'er very seriously for a while. Every inch of her face beneath the mask was like a jade sculpture, exquisite and perfect to the point of being amazing. She whispered, "But, she should look very beautiful."
“Well, actually, she might be pretty in other people’s eyes. But compared to your mother, she is far, far, far worse. So in Daddy’s eyes, she is of course one of the uglier ones.” Yun Che said with a grin.
"..." Qianye Ying'er looked at Chu Yuechan very seriously, and then turned her whole face away.
"Hmm." Yun Wuxin seemed to understand.
“Shadow…” Just as the words came out of his mouth, Yun Che suddenly realized that the title of “Shadow Slave” seemed inappropriate to mention in front of his daughter, and quickly changed his words: “Qianye, this is my daughter. From now on, her orders are my orders. When you are by her side, you must protect her at all costs.”
"Yes." Qianye Ying'er responded.
"Qian...Ye?" Yun Wuxin said softly, "What a strange name."
“Let’s not talk about her.” Yun Che leaned forward slightly and said with a smile, “Wuxin, guess what gift I brought you!”
"Ah?" Yun Wuxin didn't show surprise or curiosity, but rather a suspicious look: "Dad didn't forget this time?"
The corner of Yun Che's eye twitched, and he said depressedly: "Last time I really just came back unexpectedly, I definitely haven't forgotten. I will definitely do everything I promised Wuxin."
“Hehehe,” the girl smiled sweetly with her crescent-shaped eyebrows curved, and stretched out her white hand: “Gift, gift!”
Yun Wuxin's brows were filled with excitement and anticipation that could no longer be concealed, it was so strong that it was overflowing.
A flash of light appeared in front of Yun Che, and in his hand there was a light white silk garment, which was filled with a pure and mysterious light, like light smoke or moonlight.
"Wow! What a beautiful dress." Yun Wuxin's eyes were instantly attracted.
“It’s called the ‘Moon Godly Clothes’ and it comes from the Moon God Realm in the Eastern Divine Region.” Yun Che placed it in Yun Wuxin’s hand and said with a smile, “Not only does it look good, but it can also protect you very well. When you wear it, no one on this planet can hurt you.”
The Moon Godly Cloth is not only owned by the Moon God Realm, but is also extremely precious. In the Moon God Realm, only those at the level of Moon God Envoy are qualified to obtain it...
Yun Che picked up many things in Xia Qingyue's bedroom... and there were more than one. Xia Qingyue asked him for them several times, but he shamelessly refused to return them. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
"Wow!" Yun Wuxin exclaimed tenderly, holding the Yuehuan Divine Robe in her hands, feeling it was as light as a feather. An extremely mysterious and intoxicating aura quietly enveloped her body: "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful dress, but if mother wears it, it will definitely look even better."
“Don’t worry, your mother has one too.” Yun Che stretched out his hand again, and a white jade appeared in his palm. The jade was small and exquisite, but it exuded an aura that was even more mysterious than the Moon Huan Divine Cloth: “And this!”
That special aura caused Qianye Ying'er's eyes to turn around and linger briefly on Yun Che's palm.
Eternal Shadow Stone? Qianye Ying'er thought to herself.
She naturally knew how rare and precious the Eternal Shadow Stone was.
"What is this?" Yun Wuxin picked up the jade and looked at it curiously.
"This is a Mysterious Shadow Stone."
"Huh? Xuanying Stone?" Yun Wuxin was obviously surprised.
“Well, however, it is not an ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stone,” Yun Che explained with a smile: “The image engraved on it can exist forever, and there is no need to worry about it disappearing or collapsing. In other words, if you have it, you can always see any image you want to leave behind at any time in your life.”
"Therefore, it has a special name, called the Eternal Shadow Stone."
Yun Che's description of the Eternal Shadow Stone moved even the extremely calm Chu Yuechan.
"Wow!" Yun Wuxin was obviously not very clear about the concept of "Eternal Marking", but she still shouted excitedly. She played with it carefully for a long time, and asked with sparkling eyes: "Then... how do I use this?"
“Well… since it’s a gift for Wuxin, I didn’t try it too much, but I think the method of use should be similar to that of an ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stone.” Yun Che thought for a moment and said.
“Let me try.” Yun Wuxin picked up the Hengying Stone, pointed it towards Yun Che, and injected profound energy into it. Soon, a mysterious glimmer flashed on the Hengying Stone.
Yun Wuxin's spiritual sense probed into the Eternal Shadow Stone, and then he laughed happily: "This is what Daddy looks like... Can it really last forever?"
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded affirmatively.
"Then I want to engrave my mother, my master, my grandparents... many people and many places." Yun Wuxin shouted excitedly. Her little hand holding the Hengying Stone suddenly froze at this moment, and a subtle expression appeared on her face.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Yun Che asked.
The profound power and spiritual perception that had sunk into the Eternal Shadow Stone were quickly withdrawn, and for some reason, both hands were “whoosh” back behind him. Yun Wuxin smiled and said, “I like this gift very much. Thank you, Daddy!”
"Well, as long as you like it."
Yun Wuxin's happy look always made him extremely happy and satisfied... At the same time, he also thought that he should find a way to thank Mu Feixue.
"However, I haven't finished the gift I prepared for Dad." Yun Wuxin said a little nervously: "Dad, can you wait a little longer?"
The last time she came back, Chu Yuechan told him that Yun Wuxin was preparing a mysterious gift for him, and had even personally traveled to many places in the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm for it...but she just refused to tell him what the gift was.
“Okay.” Yun Che replied with a smile.
"Then Dad, have you completed what you wanted to do?" Yun Wuxin asked.
"not yet……"
"Then...when will Daddy leave this time?"
“Well… maybe half a month later.” Yun Che said.
"Half a month..." Yun Wuxin murmured softly, thought seriously for a while, and then said with a firm look: "I will definitely finish making the gift before Daddy leaves this time... Well! I'll go now! Daddy, you can't peek!"
“Okay, I definitely won’t peek.” Yun Che said with a smile.
After saying that, Yun Wuxin ran away in a hurry. Not long after he left, he suddenly turned around, his little face full of seriousness: "Daddy! You can't go anywhere else tonight, you can only accompany Mom! Not even Master!"
Yun Che: “…”
A daughter will naturally always side with her biological mother. Yun Che shook his head and smiled, then said to Qianye Ying'er, "During this period of time, you don't have to follow me to protect Wuxin. You must obey whatever she says."
"Yes." Qianye Ying'er responded, and followed Yun Wuxin away in an instant.
