The wind blew by her face and snowflakes flew past them.
Their bodies joined together, like one beautiful couple, Qingyue and Yun Che flew below the casted sky.
Her arms circled around his neck while Yun Che's around her willow waist, her two mountains getting squeezed between them.
Despite such close intimate contact, Qingyue, who would have shown some reaction, had a blank face.
The images of the previous battle kept playing in her mind.
She thought she might have been dreaming; for a cripple to become strong enough to stand against all major sects, such a fast development, it was mind-blowing!
And no matter what she thought, the raven-head could not make any sense out of it!
She could only stare at the handsome face of her husband in silence, wishing in her mind for him to explain what just transpired.
"If you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to control myself." With a teasing smirk, Yun Che spoke.
His dishonest hand softly patted her juicy buttocks, arousing her deep blush out of her face as she hurriedly turned her gaze away from his face while feeling hot on her butt.
Since she had never been in intimate contact with any male before, just this small act of Yun Che made her breath disoriented and her chest heave up and down, just to get pressed back due to it being between them.
Seeing such cute behavior, Yun Che couldn't help but use his other hand to raise her chin and to force her to face him.
Crystal clear gaze, a slightly pale face due to practicing frozen arts, plump cherry lips with slight wetness on them as they reflected the morning light; all of this made Yun Che's heart beat fast.
He had to admit. Among all his women, no one could match Qingyue in beauty. Her face looked so out of this world that one would be forced to believe that she was some goddess from heaven.
Staring into her black eyes, his thumb moved from her chin and softly pressed her plump lips, gently rubbing them.
"If there is something, then ask. I won't eat you for it."
A small redness over her cheeks, Qingyue looked embarrassed. Not pushing his hand away which played with her soft lips a second ago, she looked into his clear gaze which stared at her with heat, only to dodge his gaze shyly.
"... Qingyue is confused. Why did everyone from the major sects start to fight and kill each other?"
!
"Yuefeng is an Emperor Profound Realm level three cultivator. Obviously, it is impossible for Fen Moli, an elder from Burning Heaven Clan Sect, to kill him. Same with other elders, they cannot possibly kill everyone there."
Gently caressing and pinching her soft cheeks, Yun Che chuckled.
"It's just that your husband used an illusion to make them think they were fighting each other when it was your husband who killed them in reality."
"But how—!?" The moment she turned her face to look at him with surprise, her body stiffened when she found his face only a few centimeters away from her, their lips almost touching and their breaths merging together.
Feeling the warmth that seemed to send chills down her spine, the raven-haired girl hurriedly looked away. She felt her heartbeat increasing and her body heating up.
"B-but how?" Her voice was like a mosquito, she softly asked. "Qingyue clearly saw them using profound arts of their sects. Even if attacking them was an illusion, the wounds cannot be one."
"That is because they are not."
Seeing that her mind might be overloaded with all the stimulation, Yun Che finally freed her face and relaxed his hand around her waist a little to allow her some space to breathe while explaining.
"Qingyue, my dear, do not underestimate your husband. If your husband claims to be second when it comes to comprehension, then no one would dare to claim first. During the tournament, your husband saw the people of the major sects use their profound arts and comprehended all of them."
Qingyue's eyes widened and her pupils trembled with shock. She forgot everything and looked at Yun Che with disbelief and asked.
"Are… Are you saying you learned profound arts of every major sect by watching them?"
"Not all, but yes. I have learned profound arts of every major sect."
Except for Frozen Asgard, since he didn't learn them, but got them after he had sex with Yuechan. Obviously, he wasn't going to tell her that… not right now.
"... How is this possible?!" Qingyue couldn't believe it.
To be able to learn profound arts of every major sect by watching them use it… if people of the four major sects found this out, they might end up coughing blood and die!
"Nothing is impossible for your husband." Gently flicking her forehead, Yun Che chuckled. This caused Qingyue's face to grimace as she felt slight pain over her forehead, her expression soon turning to pouting softly.
"If you do not want to tell, don't tell. Anyway, you only have Cang Yue in your eyes."
Seeing her puffed cheeks and jealous expression, Yun Che chuckled. He raised his hand and gently pinched her puffed cheeks and said,
"If you want to know, you will have to sacrifice something."
Feeling his big hand caressing her bubbly butt, Qingyue's lovely face turned red. Unlike before, she was already leaning more towards being together with Yun Che, so she didn't stop or get angry with him.
She even started to think about how things would have been different if she had stayed with Yun Che in the past. Maybe, instead of Cang Yue, she would be the one standing by his side.
She didn't regret her decision, because at that time, her decision was indeed the best one. Yun Che was a cripple who could not be healed by normal means, and she was a cultivator who pursued strength to meet her mother again.
Both of them lived in completely different worlds; one would live for centuries while the other would die before even hitting a century mark.
Just the fact that she didn't destroy their marriage certificate showed how much she cared about their married status. If not, she would have destroyed it after leaving Floating Cloud City.
"We are here."
Qingyue was lost in her thoughts when she heard Yun Che's voice, causing her to turn her gaze to the front. There, she saw a big clearing with only one flower blooming at the center.
It was an enormous lotus flower whose diameter was as long as five feet. It had an illusory blue-colored jade-like flower stem and light blue flower petals that flowed with fluorescent brilliance. Yet its stamen was like a red-colored starry sky that had gathered together, and flashed with a mysterious and eccentric light.
The fact that there was only a single flower blooming in this big place alone showed that this flower was special. And the words of Yun Che explained her guess correctly.
"That's Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, a key ingredient for Emperor Awakening Heart Pellet. Consuming it will allow anyone within the Earth Profound Realm to directly jump into the Emperor Profound Realm in one go!"
Qingyue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. She looked at the flower below, and a certain greed flashed within her eyes. How could she not be greedy? After all, any sane cultivator within the Blue Wind Empire would be.
This pellet alone can make one a powerhouse within the empire that many people could only dream of reaching!
"This flower will allow you to reach the Emperor Profound Realm."
"Yun Che…" Qingyue felt her heart melting faster than Usain Bolt. Her gaze became incomparably gentler as she stared at Yun Che's face.
Staring at her expression, Yun Che's eyes had a certain glint passed through it.
'Still not enough? Hmmm… I guess a little push is needed.' Of course, his real goal was not only to get the lotus and water seed but to make Qingyue fall in love with him.
She was his wife, and the fact that he could not even touch his wife didn't sit well with him. Not only that, he knew that Qingyue was created for the sole reason of collecting his bad luck. That alone put her position way above anyone in his heart.
This woman was created to bear all of his burden; how could he not feel anything for her? As such, he wanted her to become stronger faster to make sure the ending of the original could be avoided.
Landing, he placed Qingyue to the side and said, "You stay here and I will go and get the lotus. Such a treasure should be protected by a beast. If something happens, you should run, okay?"
Qingyue's face changed, and she hurriedly caught Yun Che's robes.
Seeing her worried gaze, he softly smiled and patted her head. "It's alright. I will definitely get the flower for you, wife."
