In the vast star field of the Eastern Divine Region, a small profound boat emitting bright moonlight flew towards the north at high speed.
The past few days since Xia Qingyue took him away from the Snow Song Realm were truly like a dream. However, it was not the process that created this dreamlike feeling, but the result.
In addition, getting along with Xia Qingyue did not bring them closer. Instead, it seemed to make them more distant.
She, the Moon God Emperor, is truly no longer the Xia Qingyue of the past.
Yun Che was not the only one in the Xuanzhou. A young girl in a light yellow moon-colored dress stood there quietly. She had a jade-like face and red lips, and was pretty, with a gentle and delicate temperament. However, she seemed to be extremely nervous. She kept her head down, and her hands kept twisting her belt. She did not dare to raise her head to look at Yun Che.
Yun Che came back to his senses from his thoughts, glanced at her sideways, and called out, “Miss Jin Yue.”
"Ah...ah!" Jin Yue's body trembled, she raised her head, then quickly lowered it, and said in a panic: "Master...Master...what do you want me to do?"
Looking at her, Yun Che couldn't help but laugh. He had seen her several years ago, and at that time, Jin Yue was particularly timid. She was born in the Moon God Realm, but when facing Yun Che, a junior profound practitioner who was born in a middle-level star realm, she was nervous and timid. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, and she didn't even dare to speak loudly.
At that time, she was the only personal maidservant of the "Queen of God". As the only maidservant of the "Queen of God", one could easily guess that her strength and status were extraordinary. However... she was as gentle as water and was very respectful to everyone. Even a person with ten heads could not connect her with the identity of the "Envoy of the Moon God".
As gentle as a kitten, as innocent as a little squirrel... If it was Yun Che from seven or eight years ago, he would probably have wanted to bully her.
But her true identity is the Moon God Emperor's exclusive Moon God Envoy, a fifth-level Divine Master... In terms of her profound cultivation alone, she is more terrifying than Huo Poyun, who has experienced three thousand years in the Eternal Heaven Realm. She can kill him with just one little finger a hundred or eighty times.
“How has Qingyue been doing these past few years? Given her situation back then, it must have been very difficult for her to succeed the Moon God Emperor, right?” Yun Che asked.
Xia Qingyue had no intention of telling him these things, so Yun Che had no choice but to ask Jin Yue.
Jin Yue said softly, "Master has had a hard time in the past few years, but it has not been difficult."
Yun Che: “Oh?”
"The master is the most amazing person in the world. All the obstacles were easily resolved by the master. Although it has only been three short years, the master's charm has convinced everyone in the Moon God Realm. No one will disobey the master anymore."
Jin Yue's voice was soft and gentle, but when she spoke, her eyes seemed to be flickering with moonlight, a kind of pride and reverence that came from the depths of her soul.
“…” Yun Che was stunned for a long time.
When he was in Lanjixing, he often came into contact with the royal family. Even in the lower realms, when a new emperor ascended the throne, it would take a long time to win the hearts of the people, and it would be even more difficult to quell the chaos in a country.
Back then in the Illusory Demon Realm, the Little Demon Queen had many guardian families and royal clans, but they all nearly collapsed in the end. As for Xia Qingyue… her situation at the time was such that it was no exaggeration to say that she was facing the entire Moon God Realm alone.
Because apart from Yue Wuya, no one would accept her as the successor to the Moon God Emperor...even if Yue Wuya had left a will.
As long as someone takes the lead, opposition from the whole world will immediately break out.
Three years... it's really unimaginable.
“She must have killed a lot of people, right?” Yun Che asked.
Jin Yue nodded slightly.
“As expected.” Yun Che’s heart was full of complicated feelings. Jin Yue didn’t know, but he knew very well… When in the lower realm, Xia Qingyue was a person who seemed cold and heartless, but was actually very soft-hearted, and had never really taken anyone’s life.
“As I recall, your Moon God Realm had an appointed Crown Prince, who seemed to be named Yue Xuan Ge. He not only had the title of ‘Crown Prince’, but also had prestige accumulated over ten thousand years. He should have caused a lot of resistance to Qing Yue in the beginning, right?” Yun Che asked again. Although he had never seen Yue Xuan Ge, he had a deep impression of him… He had used his two younger brothers to warn him back then, and he was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with.
"Hmm..." Jin Yue responded in a low voice, and then shook her head gently: "However, it was not a big obstacle. When he started the trouble, the master listed more than 30 of his serious crimes in public, and all of them were proven. Then, he was executed by the master on the spot...his own hands, but if there were defenders, they were all killed."
Yun Che: “…”
Yun Che knew that Xia Qingyue had always felt deeply grateful and guilty towards Yue Wuya, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to succeed the Moon God Emperor. However, Yue Xuange was Yue Wuya’s son, and the eldest son, and she actually...
Is she really so cruel now?
Yun Che fell silent, and then his face suddenly became serious: “Then she hasn’t been close to any man in the past few years, right? Ahem, I am her legally married wife… uh, she is my legally married wife, so it’s natural for me to care about this!”
“This…” Jin Yue secretly glanced at Yun Che, then quickly lowered her head: “The master has always been surrounded by maids and the two sisters Yaoyue and Lianyue, and no man has ever been near him. In all these years, only Master Yun has entered the master’s bedroom.”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded in satisfaction: “That’s more like it. In the future, if there is such a situation, remember to remind her immediately that she is a married woman!”
"...Yes." Jin Yue responded very obediently.
Jin Yue agreed without any resistance, which surprised Yun Che. He looked at the girl who was nervous and uneasy, and said, “You seem a little afraid of me? You wouldn’t be like this in front of everyone, would you? You are the Moon God Envoy who belongs exclusively to the Moon God Emperor. You should have the highest status among the Moon God Envoys, right?”
Yun Che's words made Jin Yue's head drop even lower. Her fingers, which were wrapped around her belt, were so nervous that they almost broke it. "I... I am not a coward, but... I just can't face Master Yun."
“Hmm?” Yun Che looked surprised and thoughtful: “Why? I shouldn’t have bullied you, right?”
"No, it's not your fault, it's... it's..." Jin Yue bit her lip lightly, her voice soft and timid: "Master, have you forgotten that four years ago, the marriage certificate you gave to me was... because of my negligence, it was robbed by an outsider, and then... and then... and because of this, the master and you were killed by the Brahma Emperor Goddess."
Yun Che: “…”
"It's all my fault. Luckily, the master and the young master are in good luck, otherwise... even if I die, I can't make up for such a big mistake."
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together, her face turned pale, and she was about to cry.
During the grand ceremony of the Moon God Realm, Xing Juekong suddenly made the marriage certificate public. He was extremely shocked at the time, but later thought that the most likely possibility was that Qianye Ying'er had done it. Qianye Ying'er also used this opportunity to force him and Xia Qingyue into a desperate situation.
The marriage certificate was quietly snatched away from Jin Yue's hands, which naturally made her feel extremely guilty and self-blame.
Yun Che suddenly understood why Xia Qingyue specifically asked Jin Yue to send him back. It turned out that she wanted him to help her resolve this knot in her heart. Obviously, this matter had been weighing on her mind for all these years.
However, it was precisely because of her personality that she became Xia Qingyue's close friend.
“Miss Jinyue,” Yun Che said with a smile, “I suddenly understand why Qingyue thinks so highly of you.”
"Ah?" Jin Yue raised her head slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
“People are always curious, especially women. And the things I specially gave to your master at that time, anyone would be extremely curious.” Yun Che continued: “I remember that at that time, the box containing the marriage certificate was not a special one, and there was no profound force blocking it. With your cultivation level, you only need to use your spiritual sense to scan it slightly to know what it is, and you won’t let anyone know. But you didn’t do that. You didn’t even know it disappeared. Obviously, your spiritual sense didn’t penetrate it at all.”
“There are really too few people who can do this. If it were me…” Yun Che smiled and shook his head: “I can say that I absolutely cannot do it. So, I think your master must not have blamed you for this matter. No one else would blame you either. Instead, they would appreciate and cherish you even more.”
Jin Yue finally raised her eyes, and was stunned for a long time...
“Qingyue is so lucky to have someone like you by her side. It makes me feel at ease.” Yun Che said with a smile.
"No..." Jin Yue hurriedly shook her head: "It is Jin Yue's blessing to be able to serve the master."
“Hmm…” Yun Che looked at her and suddenly said seriously, “Miss Jin Yue, if one day you are unhappy with Qing Yue, you must remember to come find me. If I had someone like you by my side, I would wake up with a smile even when I sleep.”
These words seemed to have a strange ambiguity. Jin Yue's face flushed and she said softly, "I...thank you for your kindness, sir. But I have decided to serve my master for life, to live and die with him, to share his glory and disgrace. No matter what happens, I will never leave him."
“…” Yun Che’s eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to tap his chin, and said with a very jealous look: “What kind of trick did Qingyue use to make you willing to treat her like this… Well, it seems that next time I go to the Moon God Realm, I have to ask her for some advice. It will be much easier to coax girls in the future.”
"Puchi..." Jin Yue hurriedly covered her lips with her hand, but the blush on her jade-like face quickly spread to her snow-white neck.
“Hahahaha,” Yun Che also laughed, looking at Jin Yue with admiration: “No wonder you never smile normally, you look so good when you smile… It’s really too dangerous.”
Jin Yue didn't dare to answer. Although she was still nervous, the uneasiness and guilt in her heart had silently dissipated. After a long while, she said softly: "Mr. Yun, thank you."
"Eh? Thank me, why?"
Jin Yue shook her head: "Young Master, you are really a good person, no wonder..."
As if she had thought of something, she did not continue.
“No wonder what?” Yun Che immediately asked.
Jin Yue shook her head again. She bit her lip and mustered up her courage to say, “Actually, although the Master is very indifferent to the Young Master, she actually…actually, really cares about the Young Master. It’s just that the Master is now the Moon God Emperor, and there are many things that she cannot help herself from.”
"Also, I feel that... Master Yun and the master are a perfect match, so... so... please do your best."
Yun Che felt very comfortable after hearing these words. Even the depression he felt because of Xia Qingyue dissipated a lot. He smiled and said, “No matter what she becomes, unless I take the initiative to divorce her, she will only be my Yun Che’s woman for the rest of her life… Oh, and you too. You said that you would serve her for the rest of her life, hahahaha.”
Jin Yue blushed and lowered her head, not daring to answer, but in her heart, she did not feel any aversion at his frivolous words.
Although the Moon God Realm's reputation suffered heavy losses because of Yun Che, in Jin Yue's eyes, he was a person who brought her many good feelings.
At least that's what she thinks and says now.
Even looking forward to the development between him and his master.
But fate is so fickle and cruel.
She would never have thought that the next time they met, the man who had made her put down the heavy burden on her heart for several years and brought a warm ripple to her heart would be her mortal enemy...
