“I’ll leave the name to you.” Shui Meiyin said with a smile: “I guess, when you were in the Northern Divine Region, you should have already thought of Brother Yun Che’s future emperor title, right?”
“Of course.” Chi Wuyao smiled.
Shui Meiyin stretched out her hand, and a faint red light flashed in her palm. "The sacrifices and losses in this battle are too great. The most important thing to do now is to rest for a while. So, temporarily lift the seals on a few small palaces, so that they can rest and heal during this period of time."
As he was speaking, red lines suddenly appeared on the six palaces at the front of Qiankun Dragon City. The red lines slowly flowed while flashing, then gradually became thinner until they completely faded and disappeared.
Shui Meiyin put her hands down and let out a light breath.
"..." Chi Wuyao had been silently watching Shui Meiyin's actions, and suddenly said, "I have a lot of things I want to ask you. But you probably won't tell me, right?"
“Hehe!” Shui Meiyin smiled broadly: “It’s better for Brother Yun Che to tell you… when he thinks it’s appropriate.”
"I'm going to take care of my sister first!"
Chi Wuyao’s gaze followed Shui Meiyin as she walked away. She then turned her head to look at the several temples above Qiankun Dragon City that had been easily unsealed. She then recalled Yun Che’s extremely abnormal change, and became thoughtful.
Shui Meiyin was right. The Northern Territory profound practitioners needed to catch their breath and rest... both physically and mentally.
The Qilin Realm and the Azure Dragon Realm were assigned to guard the north and west to prevent possible accidents. The seriously injured Northern Territory mystics were transferred to Qiankun Dragon City.
Yun Che held Caizhi in his arms and entered the palace of Qiankun Dragon City.
This seems to be a huge sleeping palace. The decoration inside is much more luxurious than it looks from the outside. The atmosphere is simple and quiet, without any damage or even a trace of dust.
But Yun Che had no time to take a closer look. He placed Caizhi on the jade couch in the front, placed one hand on her right arm, and the other on her chest, concentrating his energy on the miracle of life.
Under the light of profound power, Caizhi's not-too-serious injuries were slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Caizhi's breathing became more and more stable, and her face gradually regained its color.
The bright mysterious light dissipated, and Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief. After holding on for so long, the Xuan Gang Dragon God had lost a lot of his mysterious power and soul power. Now that he was completely relaxed, his brain was already filled with a slight dizziness.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something, turned around abruptly, and met a pair of icy blue eyes as bright as a dream.
"It seems she is fine now." Mu Xuanyin said. Her expression and eyes were still as cold and indifferent as the beautiful ice that had frozen for eternity.
Caizhi knew that Mu Xuanyin was still alive long before Chi Wuyao did. The two of them also arrived in the Southern Divine Region early together, pacifying the Nanming Divine Realm for Yun Che and eliminating the threat of Nan Wansheng.
“Take good care of her.” Mu Xuanyin turned around and prepared to leave.
"Xuanyin!"
A gentle call came into her ear, and a warm breath came over her. She was already hugged from behind by a pair of arms... very tightly.
“…” Mu Xuanyin’s whole body tensed up, and just as she was about to let out a word subconsciously, Yun Che’s body was already completely pressed against hers. His intense heartbeat and warm breath were transmitted to her heart with unparalleled clarity.
She closed her eyes and did not struggle… The last time he held her tightly, it was the difference between life and death.
After a long while, Yun Che’s murmur finally reached her ears: “Is… is it the Ice Phoenix’s… Nirvana?”
“Yes.” Mu Xuanyin replied softly: “After I woke up in the Dark Frost Lake, the Ice Phoenix memory left in the power of Nirvana told me everything.”
“As expected.” Yun Che said softly, but he did not show a smile of relief or recovery. His arms unconsciously hugged him tighter, and his heart was filled with deep fear.
If the Ice Phoenix didn't possess the same Nirvana power as the Phoenix...
If the Ice Phoenix Spirit had not left its last bit of power to Mu Xuanyin out of guilt...
Then, he would really lose her completely... forever.
He stretched out his arm, pressed it on Mu Xuanyin's shoulders, gently turned her over, and looked directly into her eyes.
“…” Mu Xuanyin’s lips moved.
“Xuanyin,” Yun Che stared into her icy eyes and said word by word: “From now on, you will never leave me again, right?”
He no longer called her Master, and his eyes were no longer the same as when he looked at his Master, which was fiery, tender, and affectionate, so close.
Her eyes were filled with shock, and her mind was in a state of confusion... Her ability to guard her heart was strong enough to allow her to hide perfectly for a long time and instantly kill the Scarlet Destroying Dragon God, but what she saw before her was a scene she had never faced before, and her mind was so confused that all her defenses seemed to collapse in an instant.
She abruptly turned her eyes away, avoiding meeting Yun Che’s gaze at the moment… In the past, it was Yun Che who would have lowered his eyes in panic under her cold gaze.
“No…” Yun Che shook his head slowly, as if talking to himself, as if confiding: “I shouldn’t ask you this question, but ask myself.”
"Back then, because I was weak, because I was naive and stupid, I was just a little bit away from..."
He took a deep breath, his gaze unwilling to leave Mu Xuanyin’s eyes… In the past, he always dared not look into her eyes, fearing to see reproach, fearing to see cold disappointment.
Until she died in his arms outside the Blue Pole Star, her sad eyes were more beautiful than a thousand stars, but she has been trapped in his dreams forever, making him long for her endlessly over the years, but unable to touch her again.
Now, how could he be timid again, how could he let go again.
"Soon, I will be the master of this world! No one and no force in this world will be able to take you away from me!"
After saying that, he suddenly moved forward and pressed his lips against Mu Xuanyin's.
“…” Mu Xuanyin’s icy eyes widened. In the midst of panic, a huge force suddenly attacked her. She was gently but forcefully pressed down by Yun Che.
“You!” Mu Xuanyin struggled subconsciously, but just as her strength surged in panic, Yun Che suppressed it with incomparable dominance.
“Don’t even think about running away.” Yun Che pressed down his body: “I want to make up for the years I lost you, and more importantly… make up for the mistakes I made back then!”
In front of Mu Xuanyin, he had completely lost his old self... But in reality, he still had awe for his "Master".
It is the existence of this sense of awe that forces him to overcome and eliminate it in the most direct and brutal way.
Back then, it was because of this hateful fear and cowardice that he almost lost the chance to regret.
“No… don’t.” For some reason, her struggling force was particularly chaotic and weak. Even the sound from her lips was inexplicably soft, like Chi Wuyao’s: “They… are all outside… You are the Demon Lord… You can’t…”
Yun Che waved his hand, and a dark barrier sealed the palace entrance. Ling Ran said, “Let’s see who dares to get close!”
Yun Che was completely “bullying his master” this time. No matter how Mu Xuanyin struggled, he would forcefully suppress her and not let her get away even for a moment: “Xuanyin, remember, I am no longer your disciple. I also want you to know that you are no longer my master… So, I can disobey you, but I will never allow you to escape from me even a step!”
“And Caizhi… ugh!”
Yun Che waved his hand again, and another layer of ice barrier formed, isolating their figures and sounds tightly.
Just as the ice barrier was formed, Caizhi on the jade couch let out a soft moan, then faintly opened her misty eyes.
Outside the palace, Chi Wuyao slowly approached. Seeing the dark barrier in front of the palace gate, she was slightly startled, and then her demon soul touched her lightly, and an ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
She used her demon soul to transmit the message: "Everyone listen up, the demon master's spirit has been damaged and he needs to rest for a while. Do not disturb him for twelve hours."
After sending the message, she did not leave.
Not long after, she was not surprised to see Qianye Ying'er, who was clearly out of breath but rushing towards her.
"What's wrong with him?" Qianye Ying'er frowned deeply: "Why does he suddenly need such a long period of rest? Was he just holding on before?"
With Yun Che’s beyond-comprehension recovery ability, twelve hours of recuperation was definitely “extremely long”, which meant that his loss was far beyond expectations.
Ah... I live in Bengbu, let's join the 2K party today.
