Soon, Xia Yuanba appeared with Fen Juechen.
Yun Che, who was about to call Yuanba, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
With a single glance, he could tell that Yuanba was wounded.
"Yuanba, what happened to you?" he asked.
Just because he didn't show it much, didn't mean Yun Che didn't care about Yuanba.
These past months, he had tried different methods to help him cultivate, but he realized that no matter what method he used, Yuanba never really progressed in his cultivation.
Yun Che came to the conclusion that for Yuanba to really cultivate, he would have no other choice but to change his mindset.
Without doing so, his veins would reject the very profound energy from entering them.
It was as if his veins had their own set of consciousness which depended on Yuanba's consciousness to work.
If they didn't deem him worthy enough for it, they would never let him cultivate.
Yun Che attributed this to: cultivate bullshit!
He could only helplessly wait for something drastic to happen which would change Yuanba's mindset of a pacifist.
"Ah, brother-in-law… I, I'm alright…"
"Huh…" Obviously, Yun Che didn't believe him. His gaze traveled towards Fen Juechen standing beside Yuanba with an arrogant look and asked. "Did you hurt him?"
"Brother-in-law, you are misunderstood!"
"I'm not asking you right now, so stay quiet." Yun Che indifferently replied and looked towards Fen Juechen before asking once again. "So, did you?"
A silence fell.
Cang Yue and Yuanba worriedly stared at Fen Juechen, who raised his chin and arrogantly replied.
"So what if I did?"
"Oh…" Yun Che raised a brow of amusement.
Suddenly, he remembered that this Fen Juechen was the reincarnation of some prince from the Eternal Night Royal Family, and later in the future, once his bloodline awakened, he would inherit that devil's powers.
Remembering, Yun Che licked his lips.
Even though he himself was sufficiently strong enough and could reach the peak easily, he still salivated at the thought of obtaining the Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night, which, for him, was the coolest art in the whole Primal Chaos.
Thinking this, his eyes narrowed and a golden glow appeared within them.
Suddenly, pressure descended on Fen Juechen, and before he could even retaliate against him, his knees buckled and he kneeled.
A loud cracking sound resounded, and the ground below Fen Juechen's knees broke!
"I wouldn't ask much." Yun Che's cold voice entered everyone's ears as he continued. "Apologize to Yuanba or die."
"You…!" Fen Juechen's eyes turned bloodshot, and veins appeared over his forehead. He gritted his teeth and looked towards Yun Che with shock and blatant killing intent.
"What?" Yun Che smirked seeing his look. "Where did your arrogance go from before? For someone who hurt my brother-in-law, you sure sounded quite arrogant. Is it because you belong to the Burning Heaven Clan?"
"I… will… kill… you…!" With his teeth gnashing against each other, he tried his best to negate the pressure that seemed to make it impossible for him to even raise his head anymore. From his voice, one could feel pure hate and murderous intent towards Yun Che.
"I look forward to that." Yun Che replied. "But before that, apologize to Yuanba first."
"Over my… dead body!" Juechen shouted as blood started to drip out of his nose and mouth. "I… will never bow to anyone willingly!"
"... Die then." Yun Che's answer was simple. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at Juechen.
Just as he was about to kill him, a delicately soft hand stopped him.
"Brother Yun... don't." A worried voice came out of Cang Yue's mouth. She looked towards Yun Che with a gentle and worried gaze. "His father is the Sect Leader of the Burning Heaven Clan. We shouldn't provoke enmity with them."
She knew Yun Che was strong, and given time, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he would become the strongest existence within the Blue Wind Empire.
But right now, he alone wouldn't be able to stand against the Burning Heaven Clan. She was worried that the Burning Heaven Clan might seek revenge against Yun Che and she wouldn't be able to do anything.
"..."
Yun Che silently stared at Fen Juechen and then at Cang Yue.
Of course, he knew what she was thinking, but it made him smile.
If only she knew that he could one-shot the whole Burning Heaven Clan if he wanted.
But, then again, killing Juechen wasn't his goal anyway.
As well as Cang Yue knew him, he knew Cang Yue too well. He was already aware that she would definitely stop him from killing Juechen, and since he didn't want to look weak, he decided to play along.
Now, it would look like he let him live because Cang Yue pleaded for him, not because he was afraid of killing him.
"Since Yue'er says so, I can't really say no now, can I?" Though nothing stopped him from earning good points from Cang Yue. "As for the Burning Heaven Clan... Hmph. It's just a little sect. If I want, I can destroy it anytime I want."
Hearing Yun Che and Cang Yue, Juechen's blood seemed to boil hot.
He released his profound base, hoping to gain even a little hand against Yun Che but failed miserably, making him realize that Yun Che was definitely more than one great realm stronger than him.
This, though, didn't put fear in his heart. But it only made him feel even more humiliated.
The pressure vanished, and Yun Che lowered his hand.
"Yuanba, come here, I'll heal you."
Like a little chicken, Yuanba silently came closer to Yun Che who used Restoration to heal him.
Juechen, on the other hand, stood up with difficulty. Giving Yun Che a hateful look, he turned around and left without saying anything.
It is estimated that he would try to train harder so he could defeat Yun Che and humiliate him.
"Well... Guess it's only you who would be representing Blue Wind Profound Palace now..." Yun Che smiled wryly, making Cang Yue giggle.
"Does that matter?" She smirked confidently. "With Brother Yun training Cang Yue, there is no way she would be defeated!"
"Confident, aren't we?" Yun Che also chuckled. "Not that what you said is wrong."
Just then, Wuyou appeared with Wushang.
They looked at the people present with confused expressions before Wushang asked.
"What happened to the others?"
"..."
...
Sitting on Little Snow, the profound beast of Cang Yue, Yun Che's hand circled around her soft stomach and pulled her closer to him.
Placing his head over her shoulder, he took a sniff of her fragrance.
Cang Yue also didn't stop him and just snuggled further into his embrace, feeling warm and safe.
As the bird was flying through the air, Yun Che suddenly opened his mouth.
"Except for Qingyue, my wife, there is another woman you should be aware of."
"Is she also my sister?" Cang Yue inquired, not a single ounce of anger within her voice.
She was already aware that Yun Che would have more than one woman in his life, and the fact that she still chose to be with him despite knowing he had a wife itself explained why she didn't care for others.
She was just curious to know who this other woman was.
Till now, she had realized that whatever woman her Brother Yun was in a relationship with would have a really surprising background; his wife being the case. So she wondered what kind of background this woman would have.
"Uhhh… yes." After a small pause, Yun Che nodded. He softly kissed her neck, causing Cang Yue to release a content sigh as he continued. "Her name is Chu Yuechan, one of the Frozen Fairies of Asgard."
"..." Cang Yue's eyes widened.
Even though she was ready to hear more about her sister, she couldn't believe that Yun Che really went for the woman known for hating men the most! One should know, she had rejected Villa Master for decades!
Adding the fact that it was taboo to be in love with a man in Asgard!
And now a junior won her heart… she really didn't know whether she should be amazed by the ability of her Brother Yun for courting women or afraid.
"Amazed?" Yun Che chuckled at Cang Yue's emotions, causing her to roll her eyes.
"More like scared. Brother Yun, you really don't aim low. What are you going to do if Asgard knows about it? They will definitely be angry. Not only will they try to stop Sister Yuechan from ever meeting you, but they might even become hostile towards you."
"Humph." Yun Che snorted. "In the end, they are also cultivators. And what cultivators love and respect the most is strength. I'm pretty sure they would happily give all the Frozen Fairies to your Brother Yun if I gave them a suitable dowry."
"Hehehe." Cang Yue giggled at the mention of dowry. "Indeed, Brother Yun is amazing. Which sect wouldn't want to be in a relationship with Brother Yun? That would be the most foolish move on their part."
"Aye, are you trying to butter me up? Anything you want from me?"
Cang Yue blushed.
"... Can Cang Yue take the lead tonight?"
Yun Che raised a brow of amusement as Cang Yue continued.
"I… I read a book yesterday, and I want to try something."
A smirk formed over Yun Che's face as he softly ran his hand over her stomach, causing her to lose control over her body and fully rested herself over Yun Che's chest, letting him touch her wherever he wished.
"Of course, my dear Yue'er. How can I say no to the request of my wife?"
"Husband…"
Though they weren't married yet, Cang Yue loved hearing him call her wife, and her calling him husband seemed to put butterflies in her stomach, giving her a goofy feeling inside.
If not for her father's illness, it is estimated that she would have already married Yun Che just so she could call him husband all the time.
After all, calling him husband was a way to tell the world that she belonged to him, and this put a weird smile on her face all the time. She looked proud for some reason.
Meanwhile, Wushang and Yuanba were flying behind them and had weird expressions on their faces.
While Yuanba was nodding his head, proud of his brother-in-law, Wuyou felt like he had eaten shit. Even though they were far behind them, he could feel himself getting more and more awkward by the second.
Thankfully, it didn't take long before they arrived at the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region, the place where Heavenly Sword Villa existed!
A majestic mountain range appeared in front of their eyes, covered under dim fog, giving it a feeling of mysticism.
Far inside it, one could see buildings towering towards the sky, as sword intent ran rampant here. Of course, it didn't hurt anyone, but showed the onlookers that this was a perfect place for cultivators who practiced swords.
Seeing the majestic sword intent everywhere, Cang Yue suddenly felt itchy on her hand. A fearless smile formed on her face as she muttered.
"I really want to cut this sword intent!"
As she had been not only cultivating but also practicing sword art these past four months, she had already awakened sword intent.
This time, Yun Che didn't pass his own sword intent to her since he thought sword intent should be cultivated individually instead of getting the understanding of someone.
After all, everyone wielded swords for different reasons, and their intent represented those reasons.
While Yun Che's sword intent was sharp and ferocious, wanting to kill everything in sight, Cang Yue's was gentle and soft, where the person wouldn't even know when they were cut!
Not only did her sword intent represent her personality, but also her will to fight beside Yun Che and protect anything harmful from reaching him. Like a silent guard, before anything harmful even reached Yun Che, it would be cut to pieces by her sword intent.
