Cang Yue, the princess of Blue Wind Empire, had disguised herself as a normal cultivator.
Her father was ill, and the medical saint said that he didn't have much to live for.
Sad and disheartened, she determined herself that before her father died, she would make sure that the Blue Wind Imperial Palace came first during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. That was the dream of her father and she was determined to make it possible.
But, for that, she needed talented people to fight for the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.
This was the reason for her disguise.
Changing her name to Luo Xueruo, the name of her mother, Cang Yue left the Imprecial City to search for such talented people.
As the only person within the Blue Wind Royal Family to be able to cultivate Monarch Heart Secret Art, she was confident in her ability to find a talented person.
Monarch Heart Secret Art allowed her to peak into the luck and fate of a person! With this, she was sure it won't take her long before she is able to find the required person for her task.
Yet, her expectations soon dropped when even after visiting most palaces under the royal family, she couldn't find the required person.
She was tired.
Her last destination was New Moon Profound Palace. After this, she was planning to return back to the capital city. But who would have thought her wish would really end up coming true there?
It was a normal day and Cang Yue was randomly walking within the palace to look for a talented person. She would do it everyday, touring the palace and checking the fate and luck of people by using Monarch Heart Secret Art.
Like everyday, she had thought that today would also be another useless endeavor—yes, though, until her eyes landed on the person standing in front of the New Moon Profound Palace. He stood in front of the gates like a statue, his facial expression changing from time to time as if coming to some sort of decision before returning to normal.
Normally, she would have ignored him thinking that he might be an eccentric person, but today was different. Maybe out of depression and annoyance of not being able to find one talented person, she used her Monarch Heart Secret Art on him.
The results were astonishing!
Never had in her whole life has she ever seen someone with such powerful fate and luck!
Cang Yue couldn't believe her eyes! To think she finally found the person she was looking for! And seeing the person standing in front of the New Moon Palace, she thought he came here to join the palace.
That's good — she thought. If he joined the palace, it would make it easy for her to approach him. But much to her surprise, the person just shrugged his shoulders and left! He left!
Cang Yue panicked.
After going through the whole empire, she finally found the person she was looking for and he left! She can't let him leave just like that.
So, like the intelligent person she was, she followed after him.
Once an opportunity arises, she will then introduce herself.
But the said person once again crossed her expectations by entering Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range! She almost screamed for him to stop seeing this.
Why was this person entering Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range with his first level of Nascent Profound Realm strength? Did he have a dead wish or something?
But before she could stop him, in the little lapse when she took her eyes off of him, the person vanished! He literally vanished into thin air!
Once again, Cang Yue almost screamed in panic. She hurriedly called her Profound Beast, a white bird, and jumped on its back. The fire flew high in the air allowing her to see the area below with a better viewing distance. She wanted to find the person but she could only grit her teeth in regret when she couldn't find him.
Suddenly, the image of her father appeared in her mind. His pale skin as he laid on the bed, just waiting for his death. Yet, whenever she visited him, a smile would bloom on his face.
Tears started to gather in her eyes.
No!
She cannot lose hope just yet!
And so, started her search for the person who vanished within Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
It was a dangerous endeavor, that much she knew. Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was infested with profound beasts that could easily kill her and her familiar, but that was the danger she was willing to take if it meant completing her father's dream.
So, for days, she kept searching for the said man within Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Until finally, one day, she felt a weird tug to her heart. It was as if someone was guiding her to a certain direction.
With nowhere to go, Cang Yue decided to follow the direction pointed by this weird feeling. She kept on flying in one direction when finally, he appeared!
Her eyes shone brighter than they had ever done when her eyes landed on the black-haired man. She couldn't believe she finally saw him! The man she has been searching for days non stop, she finally saw that man!
She just couldn't believe her eyes as tears threatened to fall from them.
Without much thought, she ordered her profound beast to fly in the man's direction.
Since Cang Yue had been searching for the man for days and nights, she hadn't had time to eat or drink anything. With her cultivation, she could sustain such a lifestyle for days but it was still dangerous for her.
So the movement she found the man, all the accumulated tiredness and hunger hit her mind, causing her to lose consciousness.
Seeing her master losing consciousness, the bird panicked and started to loudly shirk while flying towards the wide-eyed man at high speed, soon impacting him like a bullet hitting someone, causing a weird sound to come out of the man's mouth.
…
The dust rose in the air. Yun Che was buried under the weird bird and Cang Yue.
Using all his strength, he pushed the bird aside and coughed loudly.
With disbelief written over his face, he looked at the woman which could easily make any man back in his world crazy for her.
"You gotta be kidding me…" Yun Che muttered in disbelief and horror. "Don't tell me I'm cursed!?"
…
In a certain void, a goddess bit on her nails in frustration as she tried to put the fate of a certain black-haired man back on the track. She had lost too much to set the fate on the right part. She wasn't letting anyone destroy it now! She will make sure everything goes according to her plans! She won't let the world die!
