"Xue'er, it's been ten days and ten nights. Father in heaven must have felt your sincerity. He must be feeling sorry for you, just like us. Come back with me."
Yun Che spoke softly after silently falling behind Feng Xue'er. He then knelt down and bowed solemnly in front of the mausoleum.
Feng Xue'er slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and a drop of crystal morning dew quietly dripped from her slender eyelashes. She leaned her body towards Yun Che and said faintly: "I know that these are not even a little bit of compensation for Brother Yun's father and the broken Blue Wind Nation... Queen Sister should hate my father and my Divine Phoenix Nation more than anyone else... But she chose to be so tolerant."
"Sister Queen is truly a great person. No wonder she can become the wife of Brother Yun and Brother Xiao."
Yun Che smiled: "For Yue'er, she wants to dispel the disaster of Cangfeng in the shortest possible time, and then gain a longer-term stability. As for other things, she can try to let go. After your father returned, he also made great efforts to make up for Cangfeng. Not only did he hand over 50 billion purple profound coins to the Cangfeng royal family in just five days, he also gave a large amount of purple crystals and armor, and chose a public form, the purpose of which was to help Cangfeng deter the other five countries... He is also repenting and atonement in his own way. Although the disaster history of the past three years cannot be forgotten, it may soon be turned over with the efforts of the two emperors. So, Xue'er, don't always put pressure on yourself. Your father's greatest wish is for you to be safe and happy."
“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er leaned on Yun Che’s shoulder, a beautiful smile on her face.
"Let's go back... I'll take you to see my grandfather and my aunt."
Because of Feng Xue'er, Yun Che's deep hatred for Feng Hengkong was mixed with some complicated things... He knew very well that the main reason why Feng Hengkong kept Feng Xue'er in Cangfeng Country was definitely not to preserve the dignity of the Divine Phoenix, but because of Feng Xue'er's wishes. If Feng Xue'er didn't want to, even if he had to fulfill those five cruel conditions several times, he would never agree.
Handing his own daughter over to a vengeful enemy who had killed his four sons... At least, Feng Hengkong's doting on Feng Xue'er was strong and without a trace of impurities. His mind was also much broader than what Yun Che had seen with hatred before.
When he and Feng Xue'er returned to Blue Wind Imperial City, they happened to see Xia Yuanba and Number One Under Heaven walking out of the palace side by side. Feeling the fluctuation of the aura, Xia Yuanba raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew towards Yun Che: "Brother-in-law, Sister Xue'er."
“Big Brother Tianxia, Yuanba, I just happened to be looking for you. I’m going to take Xue’er to Floating Cloud City now. Do you want to go back with me?” Yun Che asked them.
“That… brother-in-law, I’m looking for you too, but I’m here to say goodbye.” After hearing the words “Liuyun City” from Yun Che, Xia Yuanba’s eyes dimmed for a moment. That was his hometown, but his relatives were no longer there. His father was far away in Shenhuang, his sister had no news, and his mother…
“Saying goodbye? You’re going back to the Imperial Holy Land?” Yun Che asked in surprise.
“Well,” Xia Yuanba nodded, “The war in Cangfeng has ended, and there is nothing I can do here. I came here from the Royal Saint Domain earlier, using the Holy Emperor’s Heavenly Sacred Divine Ship. The Heavenly Sacred Divine Ship is extremely important to the Royal Saint Domain, and it is not appropriate to bring it out for so long. Master has sent me voice messages many times to urge me to go back, and said that this was the Lord Saint Emperor’s intention.”
"In addition, he mentioned that we will go to the Supreme Ocean Palace in a few months to participate in... I think it is the Devil Sword Conference. We must go back and prepare early. Although I am reluctant to leave my brother-in-law and Senior Sister Xueruo, I must go back to the Royal Holy Land first. On the way back, I also want to go to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce to see my father."
“The Devil Sword Conference?” Yun Che’s expression changed. “Your master said he would take you to participate? Did he mention any details about the Devil Sword Conference?”
"No, when I asked, Master only mentioned that we would talk about it after we got back. Brother-in-law, do you also know about the Demon Sword Conference?"
"I only heard the name from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and the time is about five months later. I don't know anything else. In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, I will also participate in the Demon Sword Conference at that time."
“Ah? Brother-in-law will go too?” Xia Yuanba was shocked. Without asking why, he nodded immediately, “Okay! Then I will definitely go with Master.”
Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “My participation in the Devil Sword Conference is secondary. The main thing is that I have to go to the Supreme Ocean Palace for something. Yuanba, when you go back, ask your master for more information about the Supreme Ocean Palace. I might be able to use it.”
"Well, I understand. I will find a way to send you a message when the time comes... Brother-in-law, I'm leaving now. See you at the Supreme Ocean Palace." Xia Yuanba floated up and prepared to fly away. These days, the Heavenly Sacred Divine Ship has been parked in the south of the Blue Wind Imperial City. It is very eye-catching, but its powerful aura makes it impossible to get close to it, and people can only watch from afar.
“Wait…” Yun Che suddenly called out to Xia Yuanba. He frowned slightly and said carefully, “Yuanba, I heard that the Holy Lord of the Imperial Holy Land has no offspring, but has several adopted sons. Is that true?”
“That’s true.” Xia Yuanba nodded. “I heard from Master that it seems that because of a period of cultivation where his profound energy was disturbed and he injured himself, the Saint Lord was unable to have offspring, so he adopted seven or eight adopted sons. It is said that the next Saint Lord position will be chosen from among the Saint Lord’s adopted sons, so there seems to have been a fierce competition between them.”
Yun Che continued, “It is said that the Heavenly Saint Divine Ship has always been controlled by only the Saint Emperor, and even his adopted son is not qualified to touch it. Is that true?”
“Yes,” Xia Yuanba nodded again: “So I was also surprised that the Holy Lord would lend me the Heavenly Sacred Divine Ship.”
Yun Che hesitated for a moment, his face serious: “After returning to the Imperial Holy Land, be careful of the Saint Emperor’s ‘adopted sons’!”
Xia Yuanba was startled, and immediately understood the meaning of Yun Che's words. He nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Brother-in-law, don't worry. I am no longer the Xia Yuanba who could only be bullied by others after leaving your protection! In addition, when I was in the Holy Land, I practiced independently and had basically no contact with them, but I will be on guard."
"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving... I will definitely become stronger in five months!"
Xia Yuanba shed all his former childishness and hesitation. He waved to Yun Che and flew freely towards the south of the imperial city.
"Brother Xia's talent is amazing, and his heart is so pure. In the future, he will definitely be the emperor of a region." Looking at the direction where Xia Yuanba left, Number One Under Heaven admired him sincerely. Number One Under Heaven had strong hostility and even resentment towards the Four Holy Lands of Tianxuan Continent, but he did not feel the slightest bit of aversion towards Xia Yuanba, who belonged to the Huangji Holy Land.
“Well… but you definitely can’t imagine what he was like back then.” Yun Che said with a smile, turning around and saying, “Big Brother Tianxia, how about returning to Floating Cloud City with us? Oh, by the way, there’s something I’ve been forgetting to tell you.”
The world's first wonder asked, "Oh?"
"It's a happy event. Seventh sister is already... well, half a month pregnant." Yun Che said with a smile. He would go back to Floating Cloud City every day these days. He didn't need to take the pulse, he could be completely sure just by visual inspection. What a joke, after all, it was the "magic medicine" he personally prepared, how could it fail.
"!!" Number One Under Heaven was obviously shocked: "How... could it be so fast! Xiao Yun... No, I must take Old Seven back immediately and take good care of him."
Number One Under Heaven was clearly a bit flustered. Yun Che waved his hand and said, “It’s better not to do that. If they return to the family, they will be bound and troubled in various ways. In Floating Cloud City, the couple can fully enjoy their own world and live a carefree life every day. This is the best environment and state for the pregnant Seventh Sister. Even if you force them to go back now, they will definitely not agree.”
Of course, there was another more important reason for Yun Che, and that was Xiao Lie.
Number One Under Heaven calmed down a bit, thought about it, and sighed, "Perhaps that's true. Well, Brother Yun, I'll go back to Floating Cloud City with you. Although there's no danger there, Old Seven is in this state now. I really can't rest without her by my side."
“Okay!” Yun Che nodded, stretched out his hand, and summoned the Primordial Mysterious Ark.
Since the Shenhuang army began to withdraw, the atmosphere in Floating Cloud City has changed every day. Today, all the Shenhuang troops around Floating Cloud City have withdrawn, and the whole city is filled with jubilation.
As soon as he returned to the Xiao Clan and saw Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven, Number One Under Heaven didn't care about anything else and rushed over to them: "Seventh sister, Brother Yun said that you are pregnant, is that true?"
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Xiao Yun who was beside him.
Xiao Yun scratched his head in embarrassment, while No. 7 Under Heaven had a proud look on his face, "Of course, what Big Brother Yun said couldn't be false. Humph, you six are still the elder brothers, but you haven't given your father a grandson in all these years. I, the Seventh One, am the most amazing."
The No.1 in the World twitched at these words and said depressedly, "Then you... must take good care of your body. If you have any problems, you must tell me immediately."
“Haha, big brother in the world is really worried and confused. Seventh sister has the protection of Tyrant Emperor Mysterious Power and the power of nature. Even if she flies around Floating Cloud City for hundreds of times every day, it is impossible for anything to happen.” Yun Che walked over and said with a smile.
“Ah…” Xiao Lingxi, who was about to rush towards Yun Che, stopped when she saw the girl in the red-gold dress beside him. Her beautiful eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Xiao Che, could she… be… the…”
Anyone who saw Feng Xue'er for the first time would feel as if they were in a dream, even women. Her appearance and temperament were so perfect that it was unreal. Although she was the Snow Princess, even the most beautiful snowflakes in the world could not describe even one percent of her pure beauty.
However, there are very few people in this world who are lucky enough to see the true face of Princess Snow with their own eyes.
Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven also looked towards Feng Xue’er at this moment. For just a moment, their gazes were completely fixed on her. They were lost in thought and unable to look away.
“Feng Xue’er greets Brother Xiao, Seventh Sister, and…Little Aunt.” Feng Xue’er was gentle and polite, and smiled sweetly when facing Xiao Lingxi. Because she knew that she was the most important relative to Yun Che, who had grown up with him.
“Um… ah…” Xiao Yun opened his eyes as wide as he could. He was stunned for a long time, and uttered a low moan in his mind: “It’s almost… comparable to… the Little Demon Queen…”
Number Seven Under Heaven suddenly stretched out her hands to cover Xiao Yun's eyes, and said angrily: "How dare you look at other girls like this in front of me... Don't look at them again!" Turning her head, she smiled again: "Hello, sister Xue'er, we have asked Brother Yun to bring you here many times these days. You really deserve to be the most beautiful woman in the legendary Tianxuan Continent. You are definitely the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life."
At the same time, he silently added in his heart: She is just one of them. The other one is the Little Demon Queen... Oh! If the two of them stood together, even the moon would not dare to come out.
“The most beautiful woman in the Profound Sky Continent is indeed worthy of her reputation…” Xiao Lingxi stared in amazement at Feng Xue’er’s peerless beauty that even surpassed Xia Qingyue’s. She murmured softly as if she was talking to herself, her bright eyes flickering with a hint of complexity.
“Xue’er thanks my aunt and Seventh Sister for the compliments.” Feng Xue’er bowed slightly and smiled sweetly. Her words and smiles did not sound like a princess of the Divine Phoenix… but rather like an elf from a fairy tale.
"Che'er, you're back?"
Xiao Lie's gentle voice sounded. Compared to his previous weakness, only half a month had passed, and Xiao Lie's steps were strong, his face was glowing red, and the smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart. Yun Che took Feng Xue'er's hand and said, "Xue'er, this is the grandfather who raised me."
“Xue’er greets Grandpa Xiao.” Feng Xue’er took a step forward, gathered her sleeves, and performed a complete junior’s greeting.
Xiao Lie looked at Feng Xue'er and sighed deeply, "Although I live in a remote place like Cangfeng, the name of Princess Divine Phoenix Snow is still well-known. I never thought that I would have the honor to meet her in person. It is really a great honor for me."
Feng Xue'er said softly, "I am truly happy to meet Brother Yun's grandfather."
“Hahahaha, what a good kid.” Xiao Lie laughed heartily, with a hint of admiration in his amazement. He could not have imagined that Princess Snow, who had the most noble status in the Divine Phoenix Nation, could be so gentle and lovely, without any airs, and even saluted him...
Xiao Lingxi quietly walked to Yun Che’s side, stretched out her hand and grasped his right hand fingers, and grasped them quite tightly, her cheeks clearly puffed up slightly: “Xiao Che, tell me the truth, what is going on between you and… hmph, this most beautiful girl in Tianxuan, Princess Snow?! You did something wrong for her three years ago, and now she is staying by your side, and… and she calls you so affectionately… hmph.”
The last snort was extremely light, but Yun Che still heard it clearly. He whispered, "This... is a little complicated to explain. If you want to know, you can ask your queen sister... your aunt. Are you... jealous?"
“I’m just jealous!” Xiao Lingxi pinched Yun Che fiercely with her fingernails, pouted her lips and turned away, looking like she didn’t want to pay any more attention to him.
If Yun Che was with other girls, she would feel a little jealous, but not too much. But everything about Princess Snow was too perfect, enough to overshadow any other woman in the world. Her intimacy with Yun Che, the way she looked at Yun Che, made her feel an unprecedented strong sense of crisis in her heart.
Yun Che raised the corner of his mouth, and held Xiao Lingxi's small hand to prevent her from breaking free. Just as he was about to speak in her ear, his eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he turned his head in an instant, with a sharp gaze directed towards the north.
“Xiao Che, what’s wrong?” Yun Che’s sudden stiffening movements and abrupt reaction caused Xiao Lingxi to quickly turn around and look at him worriedly.
Yun Che’s frown slowly relaxed at this moment, and his gaze also retracted. He suddenly asked in a low voice: “Aunt, has Fen Juechen appeared during this period of time?”
“Fen Juechen?” Xiao Lingxi was slightly startled, then shook her head gently: “After he left that day, he never showed up again.” Thinking of their scheduled battle, her face was suddenly filled with worry: “There are still two and a half months left. Do you really want to go then?”
“Well, there must be a result between him and me. But there is no need to worry, aunt. Don’t forget, I have the most powerful escape method in the world.” Yun Che said with a relaxed look on his face.
Xiao Lingxi moved her lips slightly, as if about to speak, but stopped herself before finally whispering, “No matter what, you must be safe.”
"I will be staying at home for the next few days, and Xue'er will stay with me. Five days later, I will take Xue'er back to Frozen Cloud Palace." Yun Che looked towards the north, and he was rarely seen without a look of despair. He had to protect Frozen Cloud Palace, partly because of Gong Yuxian's last wish, and partly because of his debt to Chu Yuechan.
There has been no news for five years, and the result obtained from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce was also a very bad one. Now, every time Chu Yuechan's figure flashes through his mind, his heart will be stabbed with pain.
…………………………
Four days later, Shenhuang City.
As the space twisted, Yun Che returned here again. He changed into an inconspicuous outfit, put away the Primordial Profound Ark, and entered the Black Moon Merchant Guild.
"Haha, now that you've been here, it should have been almost two days."
As soon as he entered the seventh floor of the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Zi Ji’s voice rang in Yun Che’s ears.
"Mr. Yun, this way please."
It was still the same three girls, and it was still the same ancient pavilion stone table. But this time, Yun Che did not sit down in front of Zi Ji, but got straight to the point and said, "Senior Zi, fifteen days have passed. I believe you already know the purpose of my visit."
Zi Ji smiled gently, stretched out his hand, and pushed three space rings with purple light in front of Yun Che: "A total of 90,000 jin of Purgatory Rock, 300 jin of Burning Demon Vine that is more than 90 years old, 6,000 Rakshasa Heart-Destroying Tang, 12,000 Skulls, 6,000 Soul-Withering Grass... They are all in there, you can check them out."
Forty-nine kinds of materials, no matter the name, year, specification, or quantity, Zi Ji described them exactly. Yun Che took the three space rings and put them away without even looking at them: "No need, how could this junior not trust Senior Zi."
After saying that, Yun Che took out the Xuanbi Card and paid the remaining four million purple Xuanbi.
The huge sum of tens of millions was basically gone after all the payments were made.
“Yun Che, you have single-handedly forced the Divine Phoenix Sect to such a point. This really shocks me. Now, even in the Four Sacred Grounds, everyone knows your name.” Zi Ji looked at Yun Che and said with admiration.
“Senior Zi, you are too kind.” Yun Che responded calmly. He didn’t want to continue talking about this topic with him, so he changed his tone and said, “I am here to entrust you with a task. Only your Black Moon Merchant Guild can do this in the shortest possible time.”
"Please speak." Zi Ji smiled faintly and was quite polite.
“I need three high-level profound beast profound pills. Preferably a Sovereign Profound Pill. If it’s hard to find, a Tyrant Profound Pill will also do.” Yun Che said solemnly.
Zi Ji tapped the stone table twice with his fingers, and then he calmly pondered for a while, then said slowly: "There are very few Junxuan beasts in this world, and it is even more difficult to hunt them. A complete Xuandan of a Junxuan beast is a truly priceless treasure. Even for my Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, it will take thousands of years to find it..."
Yun Che stretched out his hand, with three sparkling Tyrant Emperor Pills between his fingers: “If Senior Zi can find three complete Profound Cores of Sovereign Profound Beasts for me, I am willing to exchange them with these three precious Pills. If you can only find Profound Cores of Tyrant Profound Beasts, then I can only exchange them with Profound Coins or Purple Crystals.”
Yun Che's words made Zi Ji's eyes light up slightly. He knew very well that if he could get one more precious pill in Yun Che's hand, he could cultivate one more genius of the younger generation. Its significance was much greater than that of a Junxuan Pill. He smiled and nodded: "In this case, my Black Moon Merchant Guild will naturally go all out. I wonder when you will need these three Junxuan Pills?"
Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “If I am not mistaken, Senior Zi should also participate in the Devil Sword Conference in four and a half months. Senior Zi can hand it over to me then.”
Zi Ji smiled and nodded, and his nod undoubtedly acquiesced that he would indeed attend the Devil Sword Conference: "Speaking of the Devil Sword Conference, how about auctioning the ten precious pills that you want to entrust to me from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce at the Devil Sword Conference? The strongest people on the continent will gather there, and the Lord of the Holy Land will also be there. It would be a blasphemy to auction the divine pills refined by our master in an ordinary way, but the Devil Sword Conference is the perfect place for it."
“…” Yun Che silently calculated the time and said, “In that case, let’s follow Senior Zi’s advice. I have nothing else to do, so I’ll take my leave.”
Yun Che turned around and was about to leave. Just as he took three steps, Zi Ji’s meaningful voice suddenly came from behind him: “Yun Che, have you ever heard of the ‘Illusory Demon Realm’ and its twelve guardian families?”
Yun Che paused and turned his head: “Of course I have heard of the Illusory Demon Realm, and I have also heard a little bit about the Twelve Guardian Families. Why did Senior Zi ask about this?”
"Haha, just asking casually, I don't have any other intention." Zi Ji looked deep and took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.
"…Junior, I'm leaving."
After leaving the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Yun Che’s face instantly darkened. He stood there in silence for a long time before summoning the Primordial Profound Ark and returning to Floating Cloud City.
