In the third month of the journey, Yun Che brought Yun Wuxin to the first king realm - the Ten Directions Canglan Realm.
When he arrived, Canglan God Emperor Cang Shu'e was already waiting to greet him personally.
"I am Shu'ang, respectfully welcoming the Emperor." She bowed gracefully, her voice as soft as autumn water.
Yun Wuxin also bowed: "Wuxin greets Aunt Shuyi."
She had heard Yun Che briefly mention Cang Shu'er a long time ago, and seeing her in person this time, Yun Wuxin stared at her in a daze for a long while.
Being able to be his father's imperial concubine, she must be extremely beautiful, and Yun Wuxin had no doubt about this at all.
And the Cang Shu'an in her sight, not only did she have a beautiful face, watery eyes, lips, eyelashes...even her snow-white palms and long black hair like a waterfall, her whole body, from the inside to the outside, exuded a kind of softness and weakness that made people feel tender from the eyes to the heart, and then to the soul.
Like willow catkins in a wind vortex, feathers floating in the ocean.
She couldn't believe it... She was sure that anyone who saw Cang Shu'er would absolutely, absolutely not believe that she was a Divine Emperor who ruled over the kingdom.
Cang Shu'ao smiled at Yun Wuxin and said, "Wuxin, this is our first meeting, but I received the news two hours ago, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. You can take whatever you like from this Ten Directions Canglan Realm to enjoy, and there's no need to be polite and reserved."
Not only her appearance and temperament, but her voice is also soft and soul-stirring. Every word and every sentence is like the wind singing in the valley. Just listening to her is an indescribable luxury.
"Thank you, Aunt Shuzhen." Yun Wuxin bowed again, and then... couldn't help but say: "Aunt Shuzhen, you are so beautiful, and your voice is... so beautiful."
Facing Cang Shu'er, for some reason, her heart was filled with the desire to praise her.
Cang Shuyi smiled back: "Our little princess is really pretty and cute, no wonder she is so doted on by the emperor."
Cang Shuyi, who came to greet Yun Che in person, did not bring the Sea God or the God's Messenger with her. She was accompanied only by Ruiyi. However, after following Cang Shuyi's greetings, Ruiyi stood behind him without saying a word, half lowered her head, and did not even look at Emperor Yun.
His half-lidded eyes were filled with anger that he didn't want to conceal at all.
“As the emperor of Canglan, you are busy with many things, why come to greet me personally?” Yun Che said calmly: “I want to take Wuxin to the Cangji Sea in the north to see it and borrow the angry shark of Canghai.”
As the exclusive mount of the Divine Emperor Canglan, and the largest mysterious beast ever captured in the world, Yun Che naturally wanted to let his daughter see it.
“~!@#￥%…” Rui Yi finally raised her eyes, her eyes full of anger that almost burst onto Yun Che’s face.
She thought Yun Che had a change of heart and came to visit Cang Shu'an... but it turned out that he was just here to borrow the angry shark of the sea!
Cang Shu said softly, "Your Majesty and Wuxin have come from across the star domain, covered in dust. Your Majesty will not be tired, but Wuxin is still young, and it will be difficult for him to have fun if he is tired. It is better for him to rest in the royal domain first."
"I have prepared some tea and snacks. Your Majesty and Wuxin may enjoy them."
“Okay, okay.” Before Yun Che could respond, Yun Wuxin shouted, “I want to go see Aunt Shu’s place, too.”
“…Okay.” Yun Che could only agree.
Although nearly two years have passed, looking from above, the Canglan Divine Realm is still devastated, with traces of the fierce battle everywhere.
Especially the residual power from Yun Che and Long Bai, which has not yet been completely dissipated.
Today, the Canglan Royal City has been temporarily relocated to the east of the Divine Realm, and is now quite large and imposing.
"As a battlefield back then, it is somewhat unexpected that this place could be restored to this state in such a short time."
On the way to the royal city, Yun Che looked around and said with admiration.
Cang Shuyi whispered: "Although Canglan was seriously injured, his foundation was not damaged. If he moves forward slowly, he will surely be able to regain his former glory."
“It seems that there is no new Sea God either?” Yun Che asked again.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Cang Shu'ao smiled and bowed, her voice soft as a whisper: "Although the Sea God has been seriously withered, and most of the God's messengers have been killed or injured. But now the world is in the hands of Your Majesty. With Your Majesty's protection, we should not be afraid of foreign enemies taking advantage of the opportunity to bully us. Therefore, there is no need to rush and force the inheritance of the Sea God and the cultivation of the God's messengers. Considering the long-term, we should slowly select the best, and it is better to have nothing than to have something less than the worst."
“…” Yun Che turned his eyes to look at her: “You are quite rational and patient. In terms of style, you are very different from your brother.”
Cang Shuyi said: "In fact, my brother only looks rough and unruly. In fact, he is very careful and thoughtful, and his scheming is profound and broad. I am not even comparable to my brother."
"That's true. A person who has been praised many times by the Emperor and Empress and entrusted with important tasks is not as simple as he seems."
Yun Che changed the subject, and his black eyes also took on a bit of depth: “However, this phrase ‘cannot be compared’ is too modest. You have been an emperor for only a short year, and you have already controlled all the realms in the Southern Region. Such an ability would probably make those Divine Emperors who boast of their glorious lives feel ashamed.”
Cang Shuyi shook her head gently and said slowly: "I am seriously ill and coveted by Nanming. I have no choice but to not see the sun and the moon for half my life. In the loneliness, I can only concentrate on reading books, reading the relics of the ancients, picking up the wisdom of the predecessors, observing the situation of the various realms, and watching the changes in the world."
As she whispered, her snow-white fingers gently picked up a flower leaf that had flown from nowhere and was stuck to her skirt, and then watched it fly lightly and lonely from between her fingers towards an unknown destination in the distance.
“Unconsciously, tens of thousands of years have passed. And the vast southern region and the nine thousand star realms are all clear and familiar in my mind as if engraved.”
Yun Che: “…”
"What I have is only familiarity. When it comes to the ability to control people and the world, I dare not compare with my brother, let alone accept the praise from the emperor."
"It is because of the title of 'Yan Fei' bestowed by the Emperor, as well as the remaining influence of my elder brother, that Cang Lan has achieved his current status."
Yun Che couldn’t think of any words to respond to this for a moment.
Her almost terrifying familiarity with the nine thousand star realms in the Southern Divine Region was accompanied by the desolation and loneliness of being unable to touch the light of day for thousands of years.
Just thinking about it makes it so heavy that it makes one breathless.
The reason why she lived so persistently was just to live up to Cang Shitian's best efforts.
Yun Wuxin looked at Cang Shu'an, then at her father who had suddenly fallen silent... As a junior, she was very conscious of not being able to speak without authorization.
When they arrived at the royal city, Cang Shu'e did not take them to the main hall, but went straight to the bedroom.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was warm, peaceful and quiet. The maids inside the palace and the messengers outside the palace had all been sent away.
"I have always known that the Emperor dislikes conventional rituals and disturbances, so I did not allow anyone to serve him."
It has been more than a year since Cang Shu'e was appointed as "Princess Cang", but this is the first time he has entered her bedroom.
As the bedroom of the King Realm God Emperor, this place is much more plain than expected. Simple decoration, monotonous colors, but in its simplicity, it subtly presents a kind of elegance that makes people sigh and feel ashamed.
“Compared to Cang Shitian’s extravagance and lust, you are at the other extreme.” Yun Che said casually.
Considering Cang Shu's past experiences, it is normal for her to like this style.
“Then…” Cang Shu’s lips curled into a beautiful arc, and she looked into Yun Che’s eyes and said, “Does His Majesty prefer extravagance or simplicity?”
“If you want to be extravagant, then be extravagant. If you want to be simple and elegant, then be simple and elegant.” Yun Che sat casually: “For me, do I need a second answer?”
"Tsk!" Ruiyi behind her spat quietly.
Cang Shuyi chuckled and said, "Only the Emperor is qualified to give such an answer."
"ah!"
Yun Wuxin, who had been looking around with curiosity, suddenly exclaimed.
She stood in front of a wooden table, staring blankly at a scroll spread out on it.
The painting is only half done.
Simple scenery, simple flying birds, fish and insects, but under the depiction that seems like divine work, it makes people feel as if they are actually there, hearing the wind, hearing the insects and birds flying, and seeing them vividly.
There is also a kind of lofty artistic conception that cannot be described in words and overflows from the paper.
Feng Xue'er liked calligraphy and painting, and Yun Wuxin often practiced calligraphy and painting besides practicing with her. The painting in front of her, its brushwork and artistic conception, completely surpassed what she had seen in her life.
It even surpassed her understanding of the word "painting".
And... this is just the unfinished work.
"Aunt Shuxian," Yun Wuxin took a long while to look away from the painting: "Did you draw this?"
This is Cang Shu's bedroom as the Emperor of God, and this could only be her painting.
But this was too unbelievable for her.
"I created this in my spare time a few days ago." Cang Shu'e turned her head and said, "But this painting is not yet finished. If you like it, why don't you keep it for a while? I will give it to you after I finish it, how about that?"
“Really…really?”
Yun Wuxin's excitement was beyond words. To those who didn't like it, it was just a painting by the God Emperor, but to those who liked it... just this half of it was a priceless treasure.
"Thank you Aunt Shu-yan, I will definitely cherish it even more!"
Yun Che rarely saw such excitement and joy. Besides being surprised, he also felt a little jealous: “I didn’t expect you to be so good at this.”
"Humph! That's nothing. My young lady is very capable."
Before Cang Shu'an could respond, Rui Yi beside her could not help but shout, "Not only paintings, but my lady's calligraphy, engraving, zither, flute, embroidery... every one of them is unparalleled in the world! To be able to marry my lady, you have to cultivate for ten thousand lifetimes to obtain this blessing."
"Rui Yi!" Cang Shuyi scolded softly, "When speaking to the Emperor, you must speak softly and gently, and you must not lose your manners."
"..." Ruiyi turned her face away, pursed her lips, and looked unwilling and dissatisfied.
She has always addressed Cang Shu'er as "my young lady" rather than "the Divine Emperor", and it seems that she is more accustomed to this title in private.
Cang Shuyi smiled and said, "In the past, when I was sitting alone, I would find some elegant things to pass the time, but they are not worthy of the emperor's attention."
"Is Aunt Shu'an really so...so amazing?" If it weren't for this half-finished painting, Yun Wuxin might not have felt anything, but she was so astonished by the painting's incomparable beauty. Rui Yi's words undoubtedly made her extremely shocked.
"Of course!" Ruiyi said directly, her face full of pride: "I have been with the young lady all my life, I know better than anyone how good she is. If there is anything that the young lady is best at, it's her cooking skills!"
"There are rumors out there that the best delicacy in the Southern Divine Region is the Jade Lotus Heart Soup from Qimengxuan in the Seven Star Realm. Humph! That's because they are not lucky enough to taste the delicacy made by my young lady herself!"
"Things like 'Jade Heart Soup' are not even worthy of being called crude in front of the young lady!"
Yun Che's eyebrows twitched. He was not unfamiliar with the name "Jade Heart Rippling Soup".
Before the fierce battle with the Western Divine Realm, Shui Meiyin pulled him to the Seven Star Realm. The ostensible purpose was to taste the Jade Ripple Heart Soup, which was known as the best in the Southern Realm.
However, they failed to achieve their wish that day, because the Northern Territory’s army had already stationed in the Southern Divine Territory in large numbers, and Qi Mengxuan of the Seven Star Realm fled directly to the lower realm out of fear.
During this trip to the Southern Divine Region, Yun Che took Yun Wuxin to the Seven Star Realm.
The situation was stable, and the southern region was peaceful. Qi Mengxuan had indeed returned. As he wished, he brought Yun Wuxin to taste the Jade Lotus Heart Soup that Shui Meiyin highly praised.
The result did not disappoint him at all. The deliciousness of the Jade Lotus Heart Soup was absolutely worthy of its reputation and Shui Meiyin's praise, and even exceeded his expectations.
For Yun Wuxin, it caused an almost earth-shattering shock to his taste buds.
The time was just one month ago.
