The new day arrived.
The rays of the sun fell on his face, making him groan.
Feeling the soft warm mass attached to him, he turned around and pulled the mass further into himself, tightly hugging it.
Suddenly, he realized that he never had an extra pillow to hug, causing his eyes to shoot open.
His pair of black eyes were met with an equally exquisite pair of black eyes, gazing at him with intense gentleness and love.
A small smile adorned her face, which widened when her eyes met with his.
"Good morning, Brother Yun."
"Oh…" The memories of last night filled his mind, making him pull Cang Yue into another hug, causing her face to be buried into his nape.
"Good morning…"
Adjusting her body a little, Cang Yue returned the hug, her lips gently touching his skin in a soft peck.
After a small silence, Yun Che gently said into her ear, "Do you want to take a bath together?"
"... Um." Too lazy to form a full sentence as she mellowed into the gentleness of the person she loved, Cang Yue only returned with a soft nod and a small voice.
Smiling and shaking his head at her lazy response, Yun Che left the bed but stopped when he looked at Cang Yue, who raised her hand like a child towards him.
"Carry me…"
"With pleasure."
Leaning down, he carried the naked woman who wrapped her arms around his neck as he brought her into the bath.
One thing he liked about this world was that everything was big!
In structure, it didn't matter whether you were a civilian or a royal, everything was built big.
And this also included the baths.
As the inner disciple of Blue Wind Profound Palace, of course, his bath was also huge.
Before going into the bath, he gently placed her beside the shower and cleaned both of their bodies.
Since she was having trouble walking straight, he helped her too before both of them dipped into the hot bath.
As if missing his body already, Cang Yue crawled onto his lap before once again nuzzling her head into his chest.
It looked like she wanted to be spoiled by him, which he didn't deny. Raising his hand, he softly started to pat her head as both of them spent their time in silence, enjoying the bath and each other's presence.
Instinctively, Cang Yue already knew that Yun Che would be leaving Blue Wind Profound Palace soon, which made her not want to leave his presence at all.
She knew she could not stop him, so she wanted as much time as possible to be close to him.
While gently caressing her hair, Yun Che softly muttered close to her ear. "Yue'er… I will be leaving soon." "..."
Since she didn't reply, he thought she might be reluctant about him leaving, causing him to feel embarrassed.
Leaning down a little, he gently kissed her on the forehead.
"... Can I come too?"
After a small pause, she asked.
There wasn't much she had to do in the capital either. If she could, she wanted to have an adventure with Yun Che and travel together with him.
This made Yun Che silent. He thought for a while, to see if he could take her with him to the Waste Land of Death. But he finally shook his head.
"Sorry... This time, I am going to the Waste Land of Death. It's a very dangerous place for you. It's better to stay here and cultivate. I have opened all your profound entrances, and with the profound arts I have given you, you shouldn't have any problem advancing to the peak of True Profound Realm in a year or so."
Even though it sounded slow to the ear, it was an absolutely fast speed to advance a level in a year!
And this was his estimation without taking into account the pills!
If she took external resources, the time to advance a great realm would be reduced by a lot.
This time, he wanted to clear the Dragon God's Trail. In his eyes, the Dragon God's Trail was the most difficult trial out of all the legacies.
Even he would have trouble doing it alone, let alone taking Cang Yue with him.
He thought it was better for her to stay here and cultivate instead.
"I see..." Although reluctant, Cang Yue didn't deny him and nodded. "I'll listen to Brother Yun."
"Silly girl..." Seeing her sad expression, Yun Che once again kissed her before a smile appeared on his face. "Though... It won't hurt to go another round before leaving, right?"
Suddenly, a blush appeared on Cang Yue's face.
Not waiting for him to do or say anything, the blackhead raised her head and looked at him with her glazed eyes before she closed her eyes and kissed him.
There was no need to say anything, soon the bath was filled with the moans of the Princess.

Closing the door behind, Yun Che turned around when a voice resounded in his head; maybe it was just his imagination, he thought she sounded a little tired.
"Where are you going now?"
Being "forced" to watch everything, Jasmine was quite tired right now.
In fact, she was too embarrassed to even talk with him now. She thought she should have closed her five senses, but, as they say, curiosity killed the cat. She was the best example of it right now.
With a smile, Yun Che replied.
"To meet a certain lizard."
"... Don't tell me it's another legacy?"
Remembering the last time when he talked about meeting a chicken, she could already guess that it was going to be another legacy.
"You know me too well, my little master. But you are right, it's another legacy. I'm sure you would be surprised to know whose legacy it is this time."
Azure Dragon God was the leader of all beasts, the strongest True God in existence!
His name alone is enough to shake everyone within the God Realm, let alone finding his legacy on a remote planet like this.
He was sure that once Jasmine found out about him, she would be shocked beyond belief.
"Qingyue is going to participate in the Blue Ranking Tournament."
"Holy fuck!" Yun Che jumped away at the sudden appearance of Yuechan behind him as she softly said. He looked at her with a weird gaze before asking, "Can't you appear normally? Or do you have some weird hobbies?"
"... Humph!" Snorting, she vanished once again, leaving speechless Yun Che.
'Are you a reporter now?' He wondered.
Shaking his head and trying not to think too much about it, he left the Blue Wind Profound Palace.
There wasn't much to do here anymore, and except for Cang Yue, he didn't say goodbye or meet anyone.
His next destination was the Waste Land of Death, or to be precise, the Azure Dragon God's Legacy!
…
..
.
The Wasteland of Death was a land that was left to grow wild.
From afar, the entire wasteland was overrun with dry withered grass; rocks lined the rugged terrain.
Spanning nine hundred and fifty kilometers long and eight hundred kilometers wide, countless profound beasts roamed the wasteland, and these profound beasts were mostly wild and ferocious.
It was one of the three most dangerous places in the Blue Wind Empire!
Compared to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the number of profound beasts that resided within it was at least a hundred times more, and their strength reached as high as the Peak of the Sky Profound Realm.
It was heaven for profound beasts and hell for practitioners.
The reason why it was called the "Wasteland of Death" was that every year the number of people who died here was higher than a hundred thousand!
Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the Wasteland of Death.
His long black hair fluttered gently with every gust of warm wind coming out from the dry land in front of him, making him raise his hand to protect his face from the heat.
His black eyes suddenly gave a soft golden hue as he narrowed them slightly, his mind thinking of various scenarios that could happen inside of it.
'As long as I'm careful, I can for sure dodge the plot. Though my only worry right now is Ancestral Goddess. With her being the literal controller of Fate in this world, I'm sure she won't let me skip steps.'
It was the same previously too.
He ignored New Moon Palace, but, somehow, Cang Yue appeared in front of him which led the plot back to a straight line.
In Blue Wind Palace, he ignored the Black Moon Merchant Guild, and Chu Yuechan directly appeared in front of his door, something which should be unbelievable itself.
This time, in the Wasteland of Death, he was once again trying to ignore the plot.
But the feeling that it might not be possible made his heart heavy.
For a second, he even thought of stopping Yuechan from entering the land with him.
After all, for him, this was an opportunity but for her, it was a short trip to death before back to life.
'Yet, I feel like, even if I told her not to follow me, she would still do it.'
In these past days as he journeyed to the Wasteland of Death, Yun Che found out that Chu Yuechan's behavior was quite… weird.
At least, it didn't match her original counterpart.
Why? Because she wasn't as cold as she should have been in the original!
Every time he had a chance to see her, he could see inexplicable light in her eyes that told him that she was planning something.
What? He had no idea. But he was sure that it wasn't something bad towards him; his system would have told him otherwise. So that was a relief.
'Well, whatever it is, I'll know it in due time.'
Stretching his body, he released a long breath before a smirk appeared over his face.
"Time to earn a new occupation I guess!"
