As expected, Rui Yi’s words made Yun Wuxin’s beautiful eyes widen for a moment.
The "Jade Lotus Heart Soup", which is regarded as the "best" in the vast Southern Divine Region and directly subverts Yun Wuxin's understanding of food, is actually called... crude?
"A month ago, my father took me to taste the Jade Lotus Heart Soup." Yun Wuxin said, "From what I can tell, it is indeed as good as its reputation. Aunt Shu-Yan... is she really even better?"
When facing Yun Wuxin, Ruiyi's eyes and gestures were much softer: "After receiving the news, my young lady put aside everything and prepared tea for you personally. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, just taste it yourself."
After saying that, she moved directly to Yun Wuxin's tea table and picked up the jade cover on the table.
There is also a thin layer of barrier on top of the jade cover to prevent the escape of aura and external infection.
A cup of tea, a dish of three kinds of milk cake, and a plate of small shortbread.
Exceptionally simple and elegant.
However, to entertain a great figure like Emperor Yun, it seemed too simple, at least visually speaking.
However, before Yun Che's gaze reached her, the tip of his nose twitched violently.
Yun Che was not a tea lover, but the light tea fragrance that slowly came seemed to have an unknown magic power, silently entering his heart from his nose, with indescribable freshness and fragrance, and blending with the sweet scent it brought, making him feel relaxed from his ears, eyes, mouth, nose, to the nerves of his entire body.
This kind of indescribable enjoyment and comfort is like the whole person being slowly lifted up by invisible soft clouds, floating in the spiritual rain in the empty valley.
“…” Based on this alone, Yun Che realized that Rui Yi’s words might not be an exaggeration.
“Good…smells good.”
Yun Che's state of mind was difficult to be shaken, and his emotions were not revealed on his face. But Yun Wuxin was not as calm as him at all. She murmured in a faint voice, and slowly walked to the tea table, her steps erratic as if being gently led by an invisible hand.
“Your Highness, please enjoy. Then you will understand what I just said.” Rui Yi placed the bamboo chopsticks in front of Yun Wuxin, looking forward to her reaction… At the same time, she secretly glanced at Yun Che.
Yun Wuxin pursed her lips unconsciously and then relaxed. She picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a small piece of milk cake, and following the gradually approaching rich fragrance, she slowly and carefully put it into her mouth.
"..." Then, she stood there in a daze.
The bamboo chopsticks left her lips, and Yun Wuxin's cheeks moved slightly, as if she was chewing with a very small amplitude. Apart from that, she had no other movements or expressions. Even her eyes were frozen for a long time, as if her soul had been suddenly taken away.
Yun Wuxin’s strange reaction made Yun Che laugh: “Is it that exaggerated?”
"How is it? Is it to your taste?" Cang Shu'e asked gently.
Yun Wuxin's lips moved slightly, and after a while, she said softly: "Father, you will know once you taste it."
Ruiyi, however, turned her face away, refusing to open the jade cover on the tea table in front of Emperor Yun.
Yun Wuxin had already picked up the bamboo chopsticks again and picked up another piece of milk cake...
This action of hers made Yun Che lean back subconsciously, and he waved his hands hastily, “Don’t, don’t, I’ll do it myself…”
But Yun Wuxin's snow-white hand was already close to his lips: "Try it quickly! Otherwise, you will really regret it."
As the emperor of the divine world, he still has to have the proper dignity. It's okay if it happens in private, but being fed in public... How disgraceful.
But in front of Yun Wuxin, he had no dignity at all. Compared with damaging the imperial power, he was obviously more unwilling to go against his daughter's wishes. After retreating a little, he still half-heartedly opened his mouth.
As the milk cake enters your mouth, it is instantly fragrant and smooth. Then, your taste buds seem to be gently impacted and completely ignited. An overly rich enjoyment and satisfaction quickly radiates throughout your body.
The five senses are floating in supreme joy, the blood flows happily, and even the soul seems to become light and ready to dance.
Although he already had extremely high expectations, he was still very nervous.
It was at this time that Yun Wuxin exclaimed: "Oh my god, there are actually such delicious things in the world. They are so delicious that they seem like something out of a dream... How is this made?"
"That's good." Yun Wuxin's overflowing amazement made Cang Shu'an smile happily: "The time is too short, so I can only prepare these simple snacks. If you like, Wuxin, I will make all the pastries and dishes that I am best at for you in the next few days."
"Yeah!" Yun Wuxin responded happily, then picked up a piece of
When the shortbread entered his mouth, he let out another almost exaggerated groan of surprise.
"What does the Emperor think?"
Her beautiful eyes concealed a bit of anticipation and nervousness. Compared to Yun Wuxin, she undoubtedly cared more about Yun Che's evaluation.
“Very good.” Yun Che nodded slightly with a blank expression.
The two words "neither salty nor bland" made Ruiyi so angry that she almost bit her teeth off.
"Heartless man! All he does is pretend!"
This was just a curse in her heart, but she was too angry and it accidentally came out loud from her lips.
The divine and powerful Emperor Yun's spiritual perception was so strong that he half-squinted his eyes and said calmly, "To be honest, this tea and cake, based on what I have experienced over the years, are worthy of the four words 'unparalleled in the world'."
"But!" His eyes suddenly turned cold: "You are far from being good at training a maid!"
"Did you even forget to teach her how to write the word 'death'?"
Emperor Yun was furious, and the heaven and earth were trembling. Yun Wuxin was shocked, biting half of the shortbread that he was reluctant to swallow, and looked at Yun Che in astonishment.
Cang Shu's face, which had always been gentle as water, finally showed panic. She quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Rui Yi and I have always been getting along as sisters in private, so I neglected to discipline myself and offended Your Majesty."
"Rui Yi! Hurry up and apologize to the Emperor!"
When she scolded, her eyes changed constantly, fearing that Ruiyi would be willful.
Yun Che's terrifying pressure made Rui Yi's whole body shiver, and she shrank back a step. But she gritted her teeth fiercely, and squeezed out a stubborn and almost resolute word from between her teeth: "I... No!"
"Rui Yi!!" Cang Shu'e scolded again urgently.
Facing Yun Che’s cold gaze, Rui Yi actually took a step forward, frowned, and shouted loudly: “Yun Che! I don’t care if you are a demon lord or a cloud emperor! I just don’t like you, I just hate you!”
Yun Che: (Yohu?)
"Rui Yi, you are crazy..."
"Miss! You're going to die anyway, so let me finish what I'm saying! Otherwise, even if he doesn't kill me, I'll be pissed off and suffocated to death!"
Rui Yi had completely given up. She took another step forward, her voice rising several notches: "The young lady was forced to become the Canglan Divine Emperor because of you, and you forcefully made her your concubine. And for more than a year, you have never set foot in the Canglan Realm, and you have never even summoned the young lady to enter Diyun City!"
“Southern Divine Region… In the entire Divine Realm, I wonder how many people are laughing at the young lady! Almost everyone thinks that the young lady is just a tool for you to control the Southern Divine Region!”
“…” Yun Che frowned.
“…” Yun Wuxin’s beautiful eyes widened.
She was used to seeing people's extreme respect for her father, but this was the first time she saw someone dare to point at her father's nose and spit at him.
"Ruiyi, get out! Get out now!" Cang Shu'e was completely panicked, and in desperation, she moved directly towards Ruiyi and pushed her.
Rui Yi was prepared. She suddenly moved away, allowing Cang Shuyi to push her into the air. She continued to shout angrily, "My lady has been lonely all her life. I thought the clouds and fog had finally cleared, but in the end, you just ignored me, humiliated me, and used me as a tool!"
"And the young lady has been working so hard over the past year that she barely even gave herself a break! She...she is the best person in the world. In my heart, even if you are the Cloud Emperor, you are not worthy of her! What qualifications do you have...hmm!"
Yun Che raised his hand, and the space suddenly became cold. The murderous intent that penetrated the bone marrow cut off Rui Yi’s voice.
“It seems like you are trying very hard to seek death.” Yun Che said coldly.
“Your Majesty… Don’t! Don’t!!” Cang Shuyi rushed over and tightly grasped Yun Che’s arm, her eyes filled with pain and pleading.
“Death… what’s there to be afraid of!” Facing Yun Che’s murderous aura, she still spoke in a resolute voice: “You know best how much life the young lady has left… If the young lady dies, I will never live alone… Why would I be afraid of death!?”
Yun Che: “…”
"I will use my death to let you know that even if you are the so-called Cloud Emperor, not everyone will allow you to bully my young lady!"
“Ha!” Yun Che sneered faintly: “I never knew that a little girl like you is quite…”
"You are the little girl!" Rui Yi said angrily, "Don't think I don't know that you are only half a century old. In terms of age and qualifications, you are not even a little kid in front of me!"
"puff!"
Yun Wuxin spat out the half-chewed biscuit in her mouth.
"Ah! Such a precious snack!" After spraying it, Yun Wuxin let out a startled groan. For the first time, she experienced so clearly what it meant to waste natural resources. She was so heartbroken that she was almost at a loss.
And it wasn’t just the shortbread that was affected… Yun Che’s murderous aura was mostly wiped out by Yun Wuxin’s sudden blow.
She reached out and picked up the hem of her skirt that was stained by the sprayed shortbread, and said miserably: "I'm sorry, Aunt Shu'an, I wasted such a delicious snack of yours..."
At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and her beautiful eyes lit up: "Aunt Ruiyi, can you take me to change into outer clothes? I heard from my father that there is a kind of 'Phantom Water Blue Clothes' in the Ten Directions Canglan Realm, which is a gift from the endless sea of the Canglan Realm. I have been longing for it for a long time."
“Eh?” Rui Yi was ready to be slapped to death by Yun Che so that Cang Shu’e would give up hope. She was stunned and didn’t know how to react.
“Rui Yi! Hurry up and help Her Royal Highness change her clothes!” Cang Shuyi still held Yun Che’s wrist tightly and ordered hurriedly, “Go quickly!”
"Let's go!" Yun Wuxin had already grabbed Ruiyi's sleeve.
Rui Yi was half-dragged away by Yun Wuxin, almost in a daze after every step, and disappeared from Yun Che’s sight.
Yun Che’s palm was still half suspended in the air, but he did not make a move.
Cang Shu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed. She took a long breath and bowed in front of Yun Che: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future... If Your Majesty is not pleased, I will never let her get close to your sight again."
Yun Che’s expression did not change, but he slowly said: “Back then, when I first met you, I was at my most evil and had the worst reputation. From ordinary spirits to God Emperors, including your brother, they all feared me to the core.”
"And that day, whether you saw me or when I was healing you, I could hardly sense any fear in your heart."
"Including when I forced you to merge with Canglan's divine power, you endured tremendous pain the entire time, and could clearly sense the heavy loss of your lifespan, but your heart remained as calm as a lake, without any ripples."
He looked into Cang Shu's eyes and said, "So, until yesterday, I always thought that you were a person with extremely indifferent emotions, so indifferent that it seemed as if all your emotions had been frozen and dead in ten thousand years of loneliness."
Cang Shuyi: “…”
"But just now, when I showed my murderous intent to you, a servant girl, I felt your strong fear and terror..." He lowered his eyes: "Your heartbeat has not slowed down yet."
Obviously, he made a wrong judgment.
Cang Shuyi raised her eyes and said, "Is this why the Emperor has been ignoring me?"
"..." Yun Che did not respond.
Cang Shu'er lowered her eyes and said softly, "I have been through a lot of hardships for thousands of years, and Rui Yi has always been by my side. Without her, I would not have been able to hold on until I met the Emperor."
"She is called my maid, but in reality, our bond is deeper than that of biological sisters, and it is something that others cannot even understand."
“I can probably understand that.” Yun Che said, “Look at how she wants to swallow me up. She really can’t bear to see you suffer even the slightest bit of injustice, humph!”
Yun Che's words caused Cang Shu's beautiful eyes to ripple slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't blame her anymore, right?"
“I am the great emperor of the God Realm, I would not argue with a little girl…” Yun Che paused and said coldly: “I would not argue with an old woman!”
Cang Shu'er smiled immediately: "If the Emperor and Empress or Concubine Mu heard this, I'm afraid the Emperor would have to stay alone on his bed for several days."
Cang Shu'ao's smile is extremely gentle, with an infectiousness like the evening breeze and flowing clouds.
After he blurted out those words without thinking them through, Yun Che regretted it immediately… Not only Chi Wuyao and Mu Xuanyin, but also Cang Shumeng in front of him, were directly affected.
That damned little... maid! Although she has a problem with her brain, she is still a little touching considering her dedication to protecting her master. The death penalty can be spared, but if we let her go, where will the dignity of my Emperor Yun be?
Just wait till you cry!
“How can my emperor, empress, and concubines be compared to her?” Yun Che finished speaking, and then said indifferently: “You… shouldn’t tell them, right?”
Cang Shu'an neither nodded nor shook her head. Her gentle smile was like a deep spring of endless beauty and fantasy, attracting people's eyes and thoughts to silently immerse themselves in it until they sink into it. "Throughout history, the biggest mistake many men have made is to believe that women can keep secrets."
Yun Che burst out laughing for a moment.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that facing Cang Shu'er's eyes and listening to her words was such an enjoyable state.
