"Yun Che? What are you doing here?"
"Can I not come and meet my wife? I don't remember if I needed permission to meet my wife."
"..." Yueli frowned upon hearing his reply. With a frosty tone, she said, "She may be your wife, but you seem to have forgotten that she is now a disciple of my Asgard. After becoming a disciple of my Asgard, they have to leave everything behind and live only for Asgard. And Asgard doesn't allow its disciples to meet with men, not to mention that you have entered our private residence unannounced."
"Fairy Chu, I'm not a disciple of your Asgard." Yun Che still had the same easy smile on his face. Looking at Yueli, who had a frosty expression, he replied, "Such rules apply to Qingyue, not me. Meeting her is also my choice, not hers. I don't see your point here. As for coming unannounced, then you are wrong. I knocked and came from the front door, it's not my fault that you people didn't realize it."
Obviously, he had used True Invisibility to enter their residence.
He wasn't going to snitch on himself after all.
"You... Will you leave willingly, or do you want me to make you leave?"
The moment her voice fell, the temperature in the surroundings decreased by a large margin.
She looked down at Yun Che with a glare, clearly showing that if he didn't leave, she would use force.
Qingyue's eyes trembled when she saw how serious Yueli was.
Just as she was about to ask Yun Che to leave, her eyes widened when the falling temperature suddenly stabilized.
She saw that around Yun Che, the temperature had increased to match the intensity of Yueli's ice profound energy!
It didn't make any sense!
Yueli was at the Sky Profound Realm! Even if Yun Che got his crippled veins healed, it didn't make sense for him to negate her ice profound energy with his fire profound energy!
Can a person who was crippled become strong enough to stand off against a Sky Profound Realm in a year? That sounded so nonsensical that it didn't make any sense at all!
Similarly, Yueli also couldn't believe what she was seeing.
She had to rub her eyes once to make sure she wasn't daydreaming.
"How is this possible?! Your strength... it's at the Sky Profound Realm second level!?"
Qingyue's body trembled with shock when she heard the astonished voice of Yueli.
She looked at Yun Che with an unbelieving expression.
"You... who are you?!"
Finally, Yueli came to the conclusion that the person in front of her was not Yun Che.
She thought he must be an imposter!
The Yun Che she knew was a crippled person. Even if he got his veins healed, it would be impossible for him to reach such strength in mere one year's worth of time.
She thought it was another person disguised as Yun Che to take advantage of his relationship with Qingyue!
"... Well, that's new." Yun Che chuckled. "Fairy Chu, I must say, you have some wild imagination... though not as wild as my master, she is on a whole different level."
For someone who thought Yun Che was the reincarnation of the Primordial God, Yun Che thought Yueli's speculation sounded more logical.
"But no, I am Yun Che... or Xiao Che as you people used to know me." Yun Che stared at her before his eyes narrowed. "And so, I must ask you to leave now. I'm here to talk with my wife, not with you. You are kinda disturbing my alone time with her. She is quite moody and easily gets angry when people interrupt our husband and wife lovey dovey time together."
Qingyue: ...
Yueli gritted her teeth, already past her shock, and coldly said, "Yun Che or Xiao Che or even someone else, I would still not let you disrespect me."
Her profound strength of Sky Profound Realm level seven fully burst out of her body, instantly freezing the water in the pond and even slowing down the air around her.
White fog suddenly appeared in their surroundings, indicating the sudden decrease in temperature.
Seeing this, Yun Che smirked and increased the intensity of flames around him.
Though all that ice wouldn't do shit to him due to his resistance, he still played with her since he knew that if he didn't force his way with her, she wouldn't be leaving this place.
So he opened the Heretic God, his strength instantly bypassing Yueli!
The frozen water instantly evaporated, and the cold fog also vanished.
Once again, Yueli and Qingyue could stare dumbfounded at the development.
Not only had this person who claimed to be Yun Che reached the profound strength of Sky Profound Realm in one year, but his profound strength, despite being at the second level of the Sky Profound Realm, was stronger than hers, who was at the seventh level of the Sky Profound Realm!
They felt like they were going mad as nothing made sense any longer!
{Yueli... Leave. Let them talk.}
Suddenly, Yueli heard the voice of her sister in her head, startling her.
She felt like the voice of her sister sounded a little... unnatural? But she couldn't pinpoint the reason why.
But that was not the point.
The point was, her sister, known for her hate for men, allowed a man to stay in their private residence!? Yueli really started to question reality at this point and was wondering if she was having a lucid dream or something.
First Yun Che, and now her sister; why is everyone acting so out of norm today? — Yueli thought.
Seconds later, she took a deep breath and recalled her profound strength back.
Giving Yun Che another look as if she was staring at a monster, she turned around and left.
Seeing this, Yun Che shrugged and recalled his profound strength too.
He didn't have any idea why Yueli suddenly left, but he could guess it had something to do with Yuechan.
Thinking this, a complicated smile appeared on his face.
He still didn't know how to face Yuechan.
He shook his head and decided to not think much about it for now.
As the silence fell back to the place, Yun Che looked towards the still Qingyue whose eyes were staring at him with such intensity that it would make any normal man awkward.
"Did you finally fall for me, wife?"
"... Are you really Xiao... Yun Che, the person who married me?" After a small pause, Qingyue finally asked. Her voice portrayed her disbelief and uncertainty.
She was still having a hard time processing what just transpired in front of her eyes.
"Is it that hard to believe?" Yun Che asked wryly, to which Qingyue gave a small nod.
"Qingyue rather believes pigs can fly."
"They can though."
"..."
"But yes, I am Yun Che, the one and only." With a smirk, he added, "Isn't your husband awesome? So, did you decide to leave Asgard and follow me like a good wife?"
"How did you raise your strength so fast?" She completely ignored his question, knowing full well that Yun Che was just trying to get a reaction out of her, and asked.
She, who had been pursuing strength above all, wanted to know how Yun Che had gained such strength so fast.
"Is that all that interests you right now?" Yun Che asked, his voice slightly down. "Is strength that important to you that you are willing to leave everything else behind? Even your family and friends?"
"..." Qingyue's eyes trembled, and complex emotions appeared within them before she hid them right away. "Qingyue needs strength to reach her goals. Strength that is unmatched by anyone on this continent. To gain such strength, I'm willing to do anything."
"Even leave your family?"
"..." She replied with silence.
How could she answer when she was seeking strength to complete her family?
To her, she was doing it for her family, for her father and brother… and for herself.
As such, she saw nothing wrong with it.
Knowing her thoughts, Yun Che smiled before he gently flicked her forehead, causing her to cover it with her hands as she stared at Yun Che with disbelief, not understanding why he did that.
"If you beat Cang Yue, I'll tell you."
At the mention of Cang Yue, a slight change appeared within Qingyue's aura before she asked, her voice slightly chilly.
"Was it you who made her this strong too?"
"You get it, as expected of my wife." Yun Che smirked and playfully replied.
Hearing it, Qingyue suddenly felt sour in her heart. Even with her Frozen Heart cultivation, she still couldn't stop herself from having slight annoyance, and it was clearly shown in her tone as she spoke.
"Then go and marry her." The ring on her hand shone before she threw a crystal at Yun Che, who caught it.
He examined the crystal and saw that it had papers sealed in them, making sure not a single scratch appeared on them—it was their marriage certificate!
Seeing this, his lips twitched.
'Is she angry that I made Cang Yue stronger and not her?'
Yun Che thought Qingyue sure had complicated behavior. On one side, she gave him permission to have wives outside of herself, and on another point, she was angry that he indeed had another woman in his life.
"I thought you would have destroyed it… It seems that you still hold my position in your heart."
"..."
Seeing her silent gaze, not moving away from his face, Yun Che scratched his face awkwardly.
This was not how he imagined things to go tonight!
"Well… Do you want to gaze at the moon with me?"
"... Qingyue is sleepy. Sir Yun Che should also take his leave."
"... I thought moon gazing was supposed to be romantic." Seeing her vanishing figure, Yun Che muttered to himself.
{Why did you do that to her?}
As he was staring at the marriage papers in his hand, Jasmine's voice resounded in his head, causing him to raise a brow.
{You're awake?}
She had been quite quiet these past half a year.
After Yun Che had checked the Sky Poison Pearl, he found her sleeping on her new bed with Sky Poison's Purifying power working in full throttle around her.
It seemed that after receiving those profound arts from him, she had spent most of her time purifying the poison inside her.
{With all that noise you made, obviously, this princess had to wake up to check if everything was alright. If something happens to you, this princess will also die.}
{The last line was completely unnecessary. You almost made me fall in love with you with the first line.} Yun Che sighed before adding. {I etched a ruin on her body that hides the aura of her unique physique. It would save me from some future troubles.}
{Unique physique?}
{Yeah… She possesses Nine Profound Exquisite Body and Heart of Snow Glazed Glass. Though people of this star won't know much about them, Sacred Grounds still have records regarding those. It would only result in trouble in the future… for her and her second home.}
{Nine Profound Exquisite Body and Heart of Snow Glazed Glass?}
Yun Che thought Jasmine's reaction was quite mild compared to what she had shown originally, but he didn't think much of it. What he didn't know was that after living with him for more than a year, her common sense had already been distorted. So, she didn't feel much from things that were now considered common.
{Did her mother possess a Stainless Steel Body? Only those who possess that constitution can give birth to people with such a physique.}
{Oh… You would be surprised.}
Yun Che smiled but didn't elaborate on the topic much.
He spent some time gazing at the moon before vanishing, returning to Cang Yue's room to sleep.
