“Huh…” Yun Che fell on his back on the roof and whispered softly, “I’ve already lost my little fairy… How can I watch you lose me again?”
"But what should I do..."
"An'er, we are going to visit great grandfather, so be good."
Not far away came the voice of the seventh in the world, as gentle as the wind. She was holding the baby in her arms, smiling warmly, and walking slowly. Xiao Yun was always by her side, teasing her son from time to time.
Xiao Yongan's arrival made the couple, who already had a deep affection for each other, even happier and warmer, and even the shadow of the disaster that shook the entire city could not dilute it.
"Brother Yun, who do you think An'er will look more like when he grows up?"
"Of course it looks like you. It would definitely be more beautiful if it looked more like you."
“Hehe… An’er, did you hear me? You should look at mommy more often every day, and you will grow up to be a handsome man. Also, when you grow up, you should be filial to your great grandfather and Uncle Yun Che. If it weren’t for Uncle Yun Che, mommy and daddy would never see you again.”
"Speaking of my eldest brother, I haven't seen him in the past few days, and I don't know how he is now..." Xiao Yun sighed softly: "I always feel that he has become very different recently."
Yun Che: “…”
“I feel it, too.” Number Seven Under Heaven said quietly, “Every time I saw Brother Yun before, I would feel a sense of dominance that made me feel at ease. But after returning from Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, every time I see him, I always feel that he… has a lot on his mind.”
"I think I know the reason." Xiao Yun said worriedly, "Brother Yun tried his best to save our child, but his own child... should be five years old now, but he has never even seen him, and he doesn't even know whether he lives or dies..."
"This has always been the most painful part of his heart. Now that he has saved our child, he can't find his own child. Even if he is the eldest brother, he must be upset and feel so guilty that he can't let it go. I'm not good at speaking, and I don't know how to comfort him... I can only hope that the eldest brother can get over it as soon as possible."
“If Big Brother Yun says so, there will be no problem.” Number Seven Under Heaven said confidently.
Silently watching the couple walk away, Yun Che sighed: It turns out that I have caused a lot of people to worry about me. It seems that I really need to adjust my state of mind.
I don't know how Yuanba is doing now. In Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes, Xia Yuanba is one of the few potential threats. With Xuanyuan Wentian's obviously distorted temperament, Xia Yuanba will definitely fall into his clutches in Tianxuan Continent... I hope he can escape danger.
Yun Che closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into the world of the Sky Poison Pearl.
The green world was so quiet that the sound of Hong'er's deep sleep seemed particularly clear.
"Hong'er, get up!" Yun Che came to the bed and patted Hong'er's little butt. This jade bed was originally where Jasmine rested, but since Hong'er arrived, she had occupied it all day long.
After all, she basically ate and slept. Sometimes when she was summoned, she would fall into a deep sleep in the sword and might not wake up even after fighting for half an hour.
“Hmm…” Hong’er was awakened by Yun Che’s light slap. She opened her eyes and said in a daze, “Master, I was having a delicious dream. Why did you wake me up so suddenly?”
A very...delicious...dream! ?
“…Hong’er, did your sister Jasmine leave something with you and ask you to give it to me? It was when she left.” Yun Che asked, straightening her petite body.
"Hmm?" Hong'er blinked her sleepy eyes, tugged at Zhu Hong's hair with her little hands, and suddenly said with a wronged look on her face, "I don't know. I'm hungry now and can't think of anything."
“~!@#￥%…” Yun Che stretched out his hand and grabbed two long swords that were crystal clear and exuded the aura of Emperor Xuan: “Alright, eat it.”
"Wow! Thank you Master!!"
Hong'er was no longer sleepy, her eyes were shining, she grabbed the two King Profound Realm swords, opened her mouth widely, and with a "crack", a tooth-like gap appeared on the sword that was tougher than black iron.
Although I have long been accustomed to the "horrible" appearance of Hong'er's teeth, I still feel frightened every time I see them.
As Hong Er gobbled the food, in the blink of an eye, she had eaten up the two Xuan Wang swords, not even a scrap was left. She patted her stomach, which had not budged at all, in satisfaction, and suddenly shrieked, "I remember! Sister Jasmine asked me to give this thing to the master!"
Hong'er raised her little hand and scooped up a bit of bright white light.
Yun Che moved his lips slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently took the white light in his hand.
Suddenly, a voice from Jasmine came from the white light and resounded in his heart.
“Yun Che, when I reshaped my body that day, I borrowed three drops of your blood essence and promised to give you one drop of Star God Blood as compensation. Now, I will give you this drop of Star God Blood as promised.”
"Refining the power of the Star God requires an extremely special method. You cannot refine the divine power in it with your own strength, but it can make up for the life span you lost due to losing three drops of blood essence many times over."
"If I can no longer stay by your side, then this drop of Star God blood will be my last gift to you.
“…”
Yun Che stared blankly at the white light in his hand… Star God Blood, this was Jasmine’s blood essence…
While he was conscious, the Star God's blood wrapped in white light suddenly flew out of his palm, flew straight to his forehead, and then forcibly merged into his body.
Yun Che's consciousness instantly left the world of the Sky Poison Pearl. At the same time, a strange feeling that seemed warm and cold quickly spread from his brows to his entire body. He quickly sat up, concentrated his mind and began to absorb the Star God Blood.
After a brief period of discomfort, the Star God Blood gradually and completely merged into his body. His five senses began to become clearer, and a surge of vitality surged through his body. He felt his physique was faintly strengthened, but other than that, his profound energy remained unchanged.
Just as Jasmine’s voice said, it could greatly increase Yun Che’s life span, but it had basically no effect on his profound strength.
The Star God Blood completely absorbed into his body. Yun Che opened his eyes, and a deep sense of warmth surged through his body and heart. He raised his head, looked into the distance and whispered to himself: "Jasmine, did you really leave this drop of Star God Blood just to compensate me..."
As he whispered, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cangyun Continent, Jiangdong Region of Fusu Kingdom, at the foot of Taisu Mountain.
A large bamboo forest stretches from the foot of Taisu Mountain to the distant south gate of Taisu. The bamboo branches are dense, and from a distance, the rich emerald green fills the entire field of vision.
On weekdays, the swaying bamboo leaves here always bring an extremely fresh breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if even the soul is being gently cleansed.
But today, the wind from the bamboo forest carries the pungent smell of blood.
Snap!!!
With a vicious flash of knife light and blood flying, a tall figure fell heavily. There were already corpses piled up around him.
"Seventh Brother!!"
Su Hengshan rushed over, hugged the man's body, his eyes wide open with tears and blood. The last person who stood by him also fell. The ground under his feet and the bamboo leaves around him were stained with blood, and the corpses filled the entire field of vision. And these were the people who used their lives to block him and defend the last dignity of the Tai Su clan...
Now, they were all down except himself.
"Master... hurry... go..." The tall man murmured in pain, then closed his eyes and died completely.
“Seventh Brother!!!!” Su Hengshan let out a heart-wrenching roar, his entire body shaking violently with pain and resentment.
"Haha, my dear father, you disappoint me so much."
A large group of people surrounded Su Hengshan. Some of them wore Taisu Clan clothing, while others wore black clothing—the clothing of Heimuya. Standing in the front was Su Hengshan's only son—Su Haoran.
"You promised us that if we let Ling'er go, you would hand over the key to the treasure. But you went back on your word and resisted recklessly, killing so many people in vain... Tsk tsk, they are all my elders and fellow disciples after all. It's really unbearable."
Su Haoran smiled with the pride of being the one in control, but there was not a trace of pity on his face.
The third elder Su Hengyue and the grand elder Su Wangji were all present, as well as Hei Mu Qing Ya from Hei Mu Fort. They all had sneers on their faces, but they were all standing behind Su Haoran.
Behind them were the people from Heimu Cliff, and... fully 80% of the disciples from Taisu Sect!
There were only a pitiful 20% of the Tai Su Sect disciples who followed Su Hengshan... and now all of them have been slaughtered.
"You...you beast!!" Su Hengshan turned around and pointed at Su Haoran with trembling fingers, his bloodshot eyes filled with endless sorrow and sadness.
"Over the years... I have been on guard against Su Hengyue and Heimubao... I didn't expect... that it would be a beast like you... cough, cough cough..." Su Hengshan's body shook, and large amounts of blood came out of his mouth.
“Hehe,” Su Hengyue sneered, “Haoran is much stronger than a stubborn waste like you. With the help of the Seven Star Divine Mansion, our Taisu Sect will instantly become prosperous, and no one in the entire Fusu Kingdom will dare to bully us. And if Haoran is accepted as a disciple of the Seven Star Divine Mansion, then it will not only bring honor to our family.”
“Hehehe,” Hei Mu Qing Ya glanced at Su Hengshan with a look of satisfaction and pity, and bowed his head to Su Haoran and said, “Young Sect Master, when you enter the Seven Star Divine Mansion in the future, please don’t hesitate to give me some support.”
“Hahahaha,” Su Haoran laughed proudly, “Of course, if it weren’t for the Lord of Black Wood Castle, how would I have the opportunity to gain the favor of the Seven Star Divine Mansion.”
"Su Hengshan," Su Haoran called him by his name. "All those who didn't know how to behave are already dead. You'd better hand over the key to the treasure as soon as possible to avoid further suffering. After all, torturing your own father will shorten your life."
“You evil beast, you bunch of beasts… Even if I die, you will never get the key to the treasure!!” Su Hengshan said viciously, holding the blood-stained sword tightly in his hand, releasing an astonishing murderous aura from his whole body: “One day… you will get retribution!!”
“Retribution?” Su Haoran narrowed his eyes and laughed wildly, “Hahahahahaha, the retribution you mentioned, could it be that person named Yun Che? Tsk tsk tsk, how sad! I’ve been daydreaming for six years and I haven’t woken up yet. Speaking of which, I even asked the people of the Seven Star Divine Palace to inquire about Yun Che and Xia Qingyue. As a result, at that level, these two names don’t exist at all. In other words, even the names they told you back then were fake. You’re still dreaming that he will really come back to marry Ling’er… Oh, it’s really hard for my poor sister to wait foolishly for six years.”
"The messenger from the Divine Palace has arrived."
At this moment, a low shout came from behind. Just five words made everyone's face change suddenly. At the same time, a figure appeared beside Su Haoran like a ghost. He had a stern face, dressed in black, and seven interlaced stars tattooed on his chest.
Seeing this person, everyone bowed down as if they had seen a real god descend. “Greetings, the messenger of the Divine Palace.”
"Hmm." The messenger from the Divine Palace made a weak sound through his nostrils as a response.
"Emissary from the Divine Palace, Haoran didn't know you were coming to visit suddenly. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me." Facing the man in black, Su Haoran's previous arrogance disappeared completely, leaving only a face full of panic.
“Humph.” The Divine Palace messenger snorted coldly and glanced at Su Hengshan: “Is he that Su Hengshan?”
"Yes, yes, the envoy of the Divine Palace really has a sharp eye." Su Haoran quickly flattered him.
"Hehe, he is so cruel even to his own father. He is indeed a man who can accomplish great things." The messenger from the Divine Palace laughed indifferently. It was impossible to tell whether it was praise or ridicule.
"Thank you... Thank you for the praise from the envoy of the Divine Palace. It is Haoran's great honor to be able to serve the Divine Palace." Su Haoran said cautiously. Su Hengyue, Heimu Qingya and others behind him also bowed their heads deeply, not daring to breathe.
"Where are the things?" the messenger from the Divine Palace asked coldly.
"Uh..." Su Haoran panicked and said with sweat on his forehead, "We have searched the entire Tai Su Sect and found nothing. The only one who knows the key to the treasure is... only him."
"Hmph!" The Divine Palace messenger's eyes turned cold: "The people have been caught right before your eyes, but so many people can't force anything out of them. What a bunch of rubbish."
Su Haoran made a loud gurgling sound in his throat and said quickly, "He...he originally promised to hand over the key to the treasure as long as his daughter was kept away. Unexpectedly, he suddenly went back on his word. However, please rest assured, the messenger of the Divine Palace, he has fallen into our hands, and it is only a matter of time to force the key to the treasure out."
"His daughter?" The Divine Palace messenger narrowed his eyes and said, "Humph, since he cares so much about his daughter, then we should capture his daughter and then see if he can still keep his stubborn attitude."
Su Haoran's eyes lit up, and he echoed, "The Divine Palace Envoy is wise! Haoran will send someone to capture Su Ling'er right away..."
Upon hearing this, the seriously injured Su Hengshan roared like a desperate wolf, "You damned beasts... If you dare to hurt Ling'er... I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!"
"Wait!!" The messenger of the Divine Palace suddenly raised his head, his eyes suddenly became cold and dangerous: "The key to the treasure... is very likely in the possession of his daughter!!"
“Ah!” The words of the Divine Palace envoy startled everyone, and Su Hengshan’s face suddenly changed… and the change in his face was clearly seen by the Divine Palace envoy. His face darkened, and he said in a low voice: “Did you really let Su Ling’er go? Did you not send anyone to follow her secretly?”
“This…this…” Su Haoran was completely panicked, and tremblingly said, “Su Ling’er is just…just a useless girl…I really didn’t expect Su Hengshan to take something so important…I…I’ll send someone to get it right away…”
“Hmph, no need for that, a bunch of useless trash!!” The Divine Palace messenger turned around and whispered to the empty bamboo forest, “Mobilize everyone, use the Fusu Kingdom’s royal family and all sects as a pretext, blockade the entire Fusu Kingdom, and dig deep into the ground to find Su Ling’er!”
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"
"Yes." A low response came from the depths of the empty bamboo forest.
