Yun Che quickly focused his mind and found the memory fragment left by Jasmine in his ocean of consciousness. He gently touched it. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the depths of his soul.
“Yun Che…”
These two short words, devoid of any emotion, made Yun Che's entire body numb, and his eyes instantly became warm. His hollowed-out soul was also filled with something warm—because, this was Jasmine's voice.
In the past seven years, this was the voice he heard most often every day. The voice he heard most often in this life... or even in the past two lives, must be Jasmine's voice. Now, only three months later, when he heard Jasmine's voice again, the throbbing of his soul was so strong that it seemed like a lifetime ago.
"…We will never meet again after this separation. We have been friends for seven years. You saved my life, and I made your life a success. Now that we have separated, let us settle our grudges and end our friendship. From today on, I am no longer your master. You don't need to think of me anymore. Just pretend that I have never appeared... I will do the same."
Jasmine's voice was cold and heartless, just like the words she had said to him when she left that day.
"I left this memory fragment because there are some things that are hard to say to you face to face... There are two things I deceived you about."
“First, what I told you is not my real name. I am originally the eldest princess of the [Star God Realm]. ‘Jasmine’ is not my name, but my title.”
Yun Che: “…”
"Jasmine" is just her princess title, not her name. But she stopped here without saying her real name.
But this was not important to Yun Che. Because no matter what her real name was, she was Jasmine.
"Secondly..."
Jasmine's voice paused for a long time here, as if she still found it difficult to express herself even in this way.
"…It's about Chu Yuechan."
Yun Che’s heart and soul suddenly tightened.
"That day, I completely got rid of the devil poison, and I followed my original promise to find Chu Yuechan in the Tianxuan Continent."
“There are so many living beings in the Tianxuan Continent. Even with my strength, it is impossible to search for all of them, but it is enough to search for all the auras above the Wangxuan realm... However, Chu Yuechan is not among them.”
Jasmine's voice was calm, but her speaking speed was obviously slower than usual.
However, Yun Che's heart suddenly sank, and a suffocating feeling of coldness spread in his chest.
And that day, Jasmine told him that… Although all the devil poisons had been purified, the power of the soul was not enough to find Chu Yuechan in a place like the Profound Sky Continent, but had to wait until the body was rebuilt.
"Chu Yuechan is the biggest concern and pain in your heart. After thinking about it, I chose to lie to you."
"After I reshaped my body, although I didn't hold out any hope, I still searched for Chu Yuechan's aura again. This time, the aura range I searched for was not only above the King Profound Realm, but also included the Heaven Profound Realm and the Earth Profound Realm. But I still didn't find Chu Yuechan's aura."
“Although Chu Yuechan abolished her own profound skills back then, her profound strength in the King Profound Realm is still there. Even though her profound strength has not improved but has dropped drastically over the years, it is impossible for her to fall more than one major realm… unless someone abolished her profound strength.”
"So, she is either dead or her profound strength has been abolished. And with her appearance, if someone abolishes her profound strength, the consequences will be worse than death. With Chu Yuechan's temperament, she will definitely commit suicide."
Yun Che: “!!!!”
"You will be sad if you know this result. But remember, this result is not your fault. You have relatives who are connected by blood, friends who are willing to die for you... and a lot of women around you. Don't let a person who has passed away hurt everything. You are allowed to be sad for three days, but after three days, forget it, as if Chu Yuechan never existed, and I never existed."
“…”
The sounds of memory in the fragments were all released, and Jasmine's voice stopped.
BANG!!
Yun Che seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His body went limp and the back of his head slammed hard against the wall.
He closed his eyes, his face trembling and twisting in pain, his hands tightly grasping his chest, and with the sound of muscles tearing, his five fingers sank deeply into the flesh, leaving streaks of scarlet blood.
But he felt no pain at all, because his consciousness and soul had been completely engulfed by endless suffering.
"This isn't... true... not true..."
His body was shaking and convulsing, his breathing was completely disordered, and his internal injuries that had naturally healed were disturbed. His body tilted and he fell off the bed...
Boom! Boom! Boom…
There was a light knock on the door, followed by Cang Yue's voice: "Husband, can I come in?"
Cang Yue stood quietly in front of the door, holding a bowl of freshly cooked sugar porridge in her hand. After she knocked on the door, she got no response. She raised her hand again, but it stopped in the air. After hesitating for a while, she finally put her hand down, turned around, and prepared to leave with light steps.
But just after taking two steps, she suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. She turned around quickly and pushed open the door... The scene in front of her made her stand there for a moment.
A scarlet bloodstain spread from the bed to the wall. Yun Che curled up in the corner, his head buried between his knees, his right hand grasping his chest, his five fingers all dug into the flesh, blood dripping.
His whole body exuded a gloomy aura of despair.
“Husband…husband!!”
Cang Yue turned pale, her porridge fell to the ground, she screamed and rushed over, hugged Yun Che tightly, and burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth: "Husband...Husband, what's wrong with you...Don't scare me...Husband..."
Cang Yue's voice awakened the soul immersed in the abyss of pain. He slowly raised his head... the corners of his mouth, nose, eyes, ears... all seven orifices were covered with blood.
"Yue'er..." He moved his lips, his dry voice filled with deep pain.
"Husband...you...what happened..." Cang Yue was so frightened that she almost burst into tears: "I...I...I will go call my parents..."
Holding Cang Yue with one hand, Yun Che slowly shook his head: "I'm fine... let me hold you for a while... just fine..."
He hugged Cangyue and nestled his head against her chest. He hugged her gently at first, but unconsciously, the hug became tighter and tighter, like a baby who had lost his sense of security.
Feeling that the disordered aura on Yun Che's body seemed to be stabilizing slightly, Cang Yue's panicked heart eased a little. She pressed her soft body closer to him, placed her small hands on his back, and hugged him softly.
In their countless hugs, she always leaned on his chest, which was always the most reassuring and satisfying moment in her life. The first time, Yun Che leaned on her chest, as fragile as a wounded child.
"My dear husband, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side." Cang Yue whispered softly, "Even if you lose everything, you will never lose me."
“…” Yun Che hugged Cang Yue even tighter.

In the Yun family's living room, Mu Yurou was chatting with Feng Xue'er.
In terms of appearance, Mu Yurou had always believed that the Little Demon Queen was the most perfect woman in the world, and that no one could be compared to her. Now that she saw Feng Xue'er, as a woman, she felt as if she had seen a god. Not only that, even her profound strength was almost as good as the Little Demon Queen's, and most importantly, she was deeply in love with Yun Che.
Although it was only their first meeting today, she liked Feng Xue'er so much that it was beyond description. She held her hand from beginning to end and never let go.
Following a burst of icy cold air, Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli walked in, bowed to Mu Yurou and said, "Madam Yun, we heard that the Palace Master has returned. I wonder if he is well... We sisters would like to go and ask how he is."
“Uncle Murong, Uncle Chu, don’t worry. Brother Yun is fine now and is resting. His injuries should be healed in a few days.” Feng Xue’er smiled and comforted them.
"That's good." Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on Bingyan's face finally faded a little.
Mu Yurou looked at them and smiled gently: "You have left your homeland and come to this strange place because of Che'er, but you still care about him so much. It is a great blessing for Che'er to be treated like this by you."
Mu Yurou's words made the two women slightly panic. Chu Yueli said, "Madam Yun, you must not say that. The Palace Master saved our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. If it weren't for the Palace Master, there would be no Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace in this world."
“That’s right.” Murong Qianxue nodded slightly. “The Palace Master has saved our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace from desperate situations several times, and has given all of us a second life. If it weren’t for the Palace Master, all of us sisters and disciples would have died in the Profound Sky Continent. And back then… we didn’t protect our Senior Sister, as well as the Palace Master and Senior Sister’s children, but the Palace Master repaid us with kindness. Not only did he save us several times, he never considered us a burden, and even didn’t give up on us when we were in danger. We will never be able to repay the Palace Master for his kindness…”
Murong Qianxue's voice gradually became quieter because she saw Mu Yurou's smiling face suddenly stiffen and her eyes froze there.
Mu Yurou held onto the chair and slowly stood up, staring blankly at Murong Qianxue: "You...what did you just say...Che'er's...child?"
Mu Yurou's reaction made Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli stunned at the same time: "Madam Yun, this matter...didn't the Palace Master tell you about it?"
"Really... is it really Che'er's child? Che'er has a child?" Mu Yurou became excited. She rushed forward and grabbed Murong Qianxue's arm, and asked anxiously: "Why has Che'er never mentioned it? What does it mean that he didn't protect it well? Who is your senior sister... What is going on?"
"..." Murong Qianxue's lips parted. She realized that she had caused a big disaster and said something she shouldn't have said. But after she said it, facing Mu Yurou's earnest gaze, she was already in a difficult situation. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Mu Yurou exactly what happened to Chu Yuechan.
Mu Yurou slowly sat back down, her eyes dull, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
“Madam Yun, don’t worry. Even if Senior Sister has lost her profound skills, no one in Cangfeng Nation can bully her. She is blessed by heaven and must be living peacefully in a place where she is not disturbed by outsiders. She will be fine.” Murong Qianxue consoled.
Chu Yueli bit her lips tightly, her eyes slightly sad.
"Six years ago..." Mu Yurou murmured absentmindedly, "It's been six years... The child is already five years old... It's Che'er's child..."
“Aunt, don’t worry,” Feng Xue’er said softly, “Brother Yun will definitely find him…Ah, Brother Yun.”
Yun Che walked in from the door, with Cang Yue holding his arm beside him.
"Palace Master." Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli hurried forward. Murong Qianxue said uneasily: "Palace Master, I..."
“Uncle Master, it’s okay.” Yun Che’s face turned a little pale, but his smile was still gentle: “I just heard something outside. I didn’t know how to tell my parents about this matter, but Uncle Master helped me to tell it, and it relieved my worries.”
"Che'er!" Mu Yurou stood up and walked to his side, tears in her eyes. She said solemnly: "Although mother has never seen the woman named Chu Yuechan, she did not hesitate to abandon her profound skills, betray her master, and ruin her reputation for half of her life in exchange for half of her life of loneliness for you... You must find her, and never let her down in this life!"
"..." Yun Che raised his head, thousands of emotions flooding his heart. Just as he was about to answer, a hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
BANG!!
“Mom!” Xiao Yun rushed in anxiously, tripping and stumbling. Before he could steady himself, he shouted in panic, “Mom… hurry… Seventh sister… Seventh sister…”
