After leaving the Profound Palace's temporary residence, Cang Yue walked briskly toward the Frozen Cloud's residence, humming a cheerful tune. Recently, Yun Wuji hadn't spent much time with her, and she was determined to make him stay with her tonight.
Emotions aren't something that can be judged by logic; you don't need a reason to like someone. Men and women often develop secret crushes on someone for a long time, even if they've never truly gotten to know them or had a proper conversation. These feelings can blossom simply from watching them from afar or even just catching a glimpse of them once.
Some people say that falling in love at first sight, like in popular romantic stories, isn't realistic. But Cang Yue thinks it's pretty close to reality. She liked Yun Wuji from the moment she first saw him.
The way he talked, the way he moved, the way he looked… It felt like meeting someone she had known forever. That's how she felt. Sometimes in life, you don't need a reason to fall in love with someone.
As Cang Yue headed back, the Burning Heaven Clan's young master, Fen Juecheng, spotted her from a distance. He froze in place, and his head turned 90 degrees, his eyes remained fixated on her profile. His breathing stopped for a long while until he remembered that he needed to breathe.
Back at the Sword Discourse Arena, he hadn't noticed her because she was always hiding behind Yun Wuji. Now that he had seen her, he felt his heart beating for the first time.
Some things can't really escape their original trajectory. In the novel, Fen Juecheng fell in love with Cang Yue at first sight around this time, and right now, the same thing is happening again.
He took a deep breath and was about to approach her, but hesitated, the memory of Yun Wuji's overwhelming strength still lingered in his mind. Closing his eyes, he gathered his resolve. When they opened again, the hesitation was gone. He quickened his pace and soon caught up with Cang Yue.
Troubles always follow Jade beauties, though in this case, the trouble wasn't for Yun Wuji.
"Your Highness Cang Yue, it is a pleasure to meet you!" He stood in front of her and spoke elegantly.
"Hello," Cang Yue was surprised but still returned the greeting politely. "You are?" The man before her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she'd seen him before.
"I am Fen Juecheng, the young master of the Burning Heaven Clan," he said with a chuckle, trying to mask his disappointment. "Haha, I thought I was somewhat famous, it hurts that you didn't recognize me." Despite feeling slighted, he laughed it off. "I'd love to get to know you better. If you're interested, would you like to go somewhere to chat?"
He was handsome, with an elegant disposition that set him apart. Coupled with his talent and prestigious background, many girls would vie for his attention, eager to leap into his embrace. If he were on Earth, countless women would do anything to be with him.
"Hah," Seeing this monkey jumping in front of her, Cang Yue's polite smile crumbled, and a look of disgust appeared on her face as she said, "Fuck off stupid monkey..."
As expected, anyone who spent time around Yun Wuji and his disciples would inevitably be influenced by them.
Doesn't this monkey know that she is her young noble's woman? She was particularly like his shadow, following him everywhere. Anyone with discerning eyes would notice her and put two and two together.
Why is this trash hitting on her? Doesn't he take her seriously?
Doesn't he respect her master, Yun Wuji?
How dare he?!
"Wh-what?!" Hearing her response, Fen Juecheng's eyes widened in disbelief. Did she just call him a monkey? But looking at her disgusted expression, he knew that even if his ears weren't functioning properly, his eyes were still working just fine.
Rage engulfed him. "How... how dare you!"
He had been trying to be nice, but she actually dared to look down on him! At that moment, he made up his mind; he would give her a good beating and take her with him. Once he had her, he could mold her to his taste.
As for how Yun Wuji would react? The brainless young master thought that as long as he hid her well enough, nothing would happen. He believed that since Yun Wuji was surrounded by so many beauties from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, he wouldn't care about a single Cang Yue.
"Bitch, you are courting death!" Fire gathered in his hand as he prepared to attack her when suddenly he heard her voice.
"How dare you disrespect my master!" Cang Yue's 10th-level Spirit Profound Realm aura erupted, and wind swirled around her, forming a small tornado. She didn't care much if someone looked down on her, but to look down on Yun Wuji or take him lightly was something she wouldn't accept.
"WTF?" The stupid young master was so shocked that the fire in his hand vanished. He stared at Cang Yue with wide eyes, as if his eyes were about to fall from their sockets, staggering a few steps back. He was only at the 8th level Spirit Profound Realm and considered the number one genius in his sect. How could the trashy royal family produce such a genius?!
It is well known that the Royal Family is full of talentless trash. Just look at the current emperor! He was utterly useless, with almost no cultivation to speak of. His children inherited his overwhelming "talent" as well, and they turned out just as useless.
How did a mere princess suddenly become this strong at such a young age?!
Initially, Cang Yue was at the 1th Level of True Profound Realm, but after Yun Wuji fed her pills like candies for the past few months, she easily reached the 10th Level Spirit Profound Realm. Not only that, Yun Wuji also gave her a Wind Element profound art he created casually.
It is worth noting that Xia Qingyue was already at the 5th Level of the True Profound Realm, while Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Che were at the Peak of the Nascent Profound Realm.
"W-Wait! We can't talk this through! I was just joking!" Fen Juecheng stammered, taking a few steps back as he tried to negotiate.
Unfortunately, Cang Yue didn't listen to him.
"Wait! I'm the young master of the Burning Heaven Clan!" he pleaded.
"Agh!!"
"You'll regret this!"
"Agh!!"
"Please, not the face!! Aghhh!"
"Not my crotch! Aghhhh!"
"My little johnson! Arghh!"
...
At the same time, Yun Wuji and Xia Qingyue were walking back to their residence. No one would believe that this seemingly casual stroll had already set in motion the fate of an entire King Realm.
Xia Qingyue held her master's hand tightly, stealing glances at him from time to time. After listening to his plan, she finally understood what he meant by "he knew a few things."
His knowledge had nothing to do with the word "few"!
On the way, they encountered Xuanyuan Yufeng, who was surprised by their appearance. Upon seeing Yun Wuji, her expression changed, but she quickly composed herself and bowed, greeting him, "Lord Yun Wuji, I hope your stay here has been comfortable."
In this world where strength reigns supreme, no matter her personal thoughts about him, she knew she had to display her utmost respect; otherwise, who knew if this man would slap her to death on a whim?
She was coming back from her father-in-law's resting area after checking on him when she encountered this man.
Honestly, her feelings upon seeing him were complex. There was naturally anger and hatred this man had humiliated her and her husband, but there was also some gratitude, as he had severed any lingering fantasies her husband had toward Chu Yuechan.
She felt a sense of refreshment when she saw her husband getting trashed. Finally, she was also curious about this man; she knew almost all the names of the powerhouses on this continent, yet she had never heard of anyone with the surname 'Yun.'
"Hmm," Yun Wuji nodded at her and walked past her.
Xuanyuan Yufeng stood in place until Yun Wuji left her field of vision. Once he was gone, she let out a sigh and began to walk away. Compared to this man, her husband was really... Xuanyuan Yufeng shook her head, unwilling to let her thoughts wander in that direction.
That place was dangerous, shrouded in darkness and filth. People referred to it as NTR, a name that sent shivers down the spines of many pure love couples who dreaded it.
...
"Hmm?" At night Yun Wuji was about to sneak into Chu Yuechan's room when he suddenly sensed someone was standing in front of his room.
"Hello, Nya! This is your favorite cat, nya!" When Yun Wuji opened the door, he saw Cang Yue dressed in her maid outfit, complete with cat ears and a fluffy tail. She struck a cute pose, sticking out her pink tongue playfully.
"What are you doing?" Yun Wuji was surprised when he saw her outfit. Without even asking, he knew that she was also corrupted by the weeb culture.
He thought of burning the library, but it was already too late; right now, everyone had become corrupted.
"How was it, young noble? Do you like it, nya?" Cang Yue smiled and turned around, showing him her outfit.
"Hmm, it looks good on you," Yun Wuji nodded, though his gaze was fixed on her cat tail. It didn't seem to be part of the dress; it was attached to another place, a deep place. "Get in, I need to see if you're following the maid's dress code."
"Yes! Nyaa!" Cang Yue laughed mischievously and followed him in.
That night, Yun Wuji thoroughly examined all her holes, cough! I mean, examined her dress.
