"???" Hearing him, Huan Caiyi became confused, she looked at him and said, "What do you mean? This Empress is the one and only Huan Caiyi."
"That's impossible! The Huan Caiyi I know is a cold tsundere...how could she possibly throw herself into a man's arms?" Yun Wuji shook his head, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"!!!" Huan Caiyi's eyes widened as she let go of his hand and staggered backward. Her fair face flushed red like a boiling kettle, and white steam seemed to burst from the top of her head.
"You! You! I will never talk to you again!" she shouted, pointing at him before turning into a streak of light and flying away.
"..." Watching their exchange, Yun Canghai tried to reduce his existence as much as possible.
"Old Man Yun, let's have a chat later," Yun Wuji waved his hand to him and flew away chasing the flustered tsundere.
"...Yes, Lord," Yun Canghai nodded blankly, watching Yun Wuji's figure disappear over the horizon. After a moment, he sighed, "Ah, it's good to be young...fortunately, the bloodline of the Demon Emperor Clan is not destined to end after all."
...
The Supreme Ocean Palace is the only sacred ground technically situated outside the Profound Sky Continent. Its location lies 1,500 kilometers south of the continent's southern edge, above the vast Southern Ocean.
The reason for this is to guard the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest. From this, it can be said that the Supreme Ocean Palace is the only sacred ground that truly lives up to its reputation as the guardian of the continent.
A few hundred kilometers from the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, above the ocean, stood a mesmerizingly beautiful woman in a red and purple dress, floating above the water and gazing far into the distance.
She seemed to be deep in thought, and from time to time, she would clench her fists, as if caught between anger and frustration.
Yun Wuji's figure appeared in the sky, leaving a silver trail among the clouds. Upon reaching the area, he slowly descended near her.
"..." Huan Caiyi didn't respond to his arrival, remaining silent as she gazed into the distance.
"I didn't expect our cold and ruthless Demon Empress to actually run away like a flustered little girl," Yun Wuji said in a lamenting tone as he took a few steps forward and stood close by her side.
"..." Huan Caiyi's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she stayed silent, acting as though she hadn't heard his words.
"I actually want to apologize to you," Yun Wuji suddenly said, a slight smile curving his lips as he noticed her lack of response.
"???" Huan Caiyi.
"Back in the Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley, I was wrong," Yun Wuji suddenly said. "I shouldn't have said that a road had more curves than you."
"..." Huan Caiyi's hand clenched inside her sleeve, and her plump chest heaved, as a surge of irritation rose within her. She suddenly had the urge to slap him. Why bring up such an embarrassing moment? Was he enjoying teasing her so much?
"Thinking back now, I realize I made a mistake. You were perhaps a bit curvier than a flat road," Yun Wuji said, his tone carrying a hint of apology.
"Enough!!!" Suddenly, flames erupted from her body, blazing with intense fury.
"Stop! Stop! No one likes violent tsunderes!" Yun Wuji exclaimed, pretending to be afraid. He took a few steps back, waving his hands frantically to stop her. "If you keep acting like this, no one will want to marry you!"
"..." Huan Caiyi took a deep breath, calming herself. The fire around her dissipated, and she turned her head away, not wanting to look at him. However, this time, she didn't harrumph like she usually did.
"Alright, it was my fault," Yun Wuji said, noticing that she was truly angry. "I just can't help it. Seeing you so cold all the time makes me want to draw out more reactions from you."
"..." Huan Caiyi didn't respond for a long time. Finally, she huffed and said, "Hmph! It's good that you know it's your fault."
'She forgave me so easily?' Yun Wuji was surprised that she accepted his apology so quickly. He had expected her to ignore him for a while. Shaking his head, he decided to change the subject. "Now that you've gotten your revenge and solidified your control over the Illusory Demon Realm, what are you going to do next?"
Huan Caiyi turned her head slightly, giving him a side glance before replying, "I will make the Illusory Demon Realm and my Demon Emperor clan great again!"
"Noice! I'm sure that Trum—cough, I mean your father will be very proud," Yun Wuji nodded. He wasn't surprised by her response, because he knew that to her, the dignity and glory of the Illusory Demon Imperial Family mattered more than even her own life.
After that, the two of them stood side by side, silently gazing out over the vast ocean.
After a long silence, Huan Caiyi suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on the ocean. "I have something to tell you."
"Hmm? What is it?" Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I... I... think... that... I... I... like you..." Huan Caiyi's face turned bright red. Her hands clenched tightly inside her robe's sleeves, and her voice quivered slightly as the words left her lips.
"..." Yun Wuji spun around violently, his eyes wide with shock. What did she just say? He was so stunned that he couldn't fully process her words.
It was clear to everyone around them that Huan Caiyi had feelings for Yun Wuji, something even the dense Feng Hanyue and Feng Hanxue had noticed. However, Yun Wuji was taken aback by her confession at this moment. From his understanding of her personality, it seemed almost impossible for her to take the initiative like this.
However, after thinking about it, Yun Wuji recalled that in the novel, not only had Huan Caiyi raped Yun Che, but she had also been the one to propose marriage in front of everyone.
'Even though she is easily flustered, she is still the ruthless and decisive Demon Empress. When it comes to critical moments, she'll be far more resolute than most,' Yun Wuji thought to himself.
Seeing that he didn't respond for such a long time, Huan Caiyi grew nervous. She had gathered all her courage to confess to him, and if he were to turn her down, she would really cry!
She had been considering this for a while now, especially after the submission of the last two sacred grounds.
With the defeat of all the rebels and the four sacred grounds now under their control, Yun Wuji would undoubtedly leave the Illusory Demon Realm and would probably rarely return.
Huan Caiyi felt that if she didn't take the initiative now, she might truly lose her chance once they were separated for a long time.
"Huan Caiyi, I also have something to tell you," Yun Wuji suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. Huan Caiyi turned her head, meeting his gaze. He continued, "Would you marry me?"
"What?!" Huan Caiyi's eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling.
"I said, would you marry me?" Yun Wuji repeated.
Huan Caiyi's eyes went wide, her heart pounding wildly as her chest rose and fell, and her fair face flushed a deep red. She opened her red lips to speak, but no words came out. She stayed like that for a long moment, then finally managed to calm herself. Trying to mask her excitement with a cold facade, she said, "Hmph! Since you asked so desperately, I'll accept your proposal."
"..." Yun Wuji's forehead creased as black lines appeared. Weren't you the one who confessed first? And now you're saying I'm the desperate one? Shaking his head, he decided to let it slide. It seems there's still a long way to go before curing her tsundere tendencies.
"But!" Huan Caiyi quickly added, trying hard to maintain her icy demeanor, "Don't get any strange ideas! It's not that I'm desperate to marry you. This is solely for the sake of my Demon Emperor clan. I can't allow our bloodline to end with me, and since you're the only one in this world who shares the Golden Crow's bloodline, I have no choice!"
"..." Yun Wuji blinked, clearly speechless.
"And also," Huan Caiyi continued, her face turning slightly red despite her best efforts to maintain composure, "It would be best if we got married as soon as possible—how about next month? But don't misunderstand! It's not that I'm in a hurry to marry you. I'm just doing this to stabilize the hearts of the people across both continents!"
"..." Yun Wuji remained silent.
"Why are you silent? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"...Tsundere," Yun Wuji involuntarily muttered.
"I told you, I am not a damn tsundere!!!"

After returning to the Yun Palace, Yun Wuji made his way toward the 'water training ground'. As he walked, he mulled over how to break the news of his marriage to his other women.
He could easily anticipate their intense reactions. Although women in this world generally accept the idea of sharing a man, any woman would feel some resentment upon learning her husband was marrying another—especially when she herself had yet to become his wife. This was particularly true in the case of the first wife.
He walked for a while until he reached a light blue building the Water Training Ground.
After obtaining the fire, water, and lightning seeds, he studied them closely and gained significant insights. Eventually, he discovered that these seeds could help others in deepening their understanding of the laws.
Thus, he created three specialized training grounds, placing a seed in each to aid in cultivation. Most of the time, his women from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace would spend their days here, immersed in comprehending the Law of Water.
After all, cultivation isn't only about raising profound strength; understanding the laws of water is crucial for cultivating their profound arts. The deeper their grasp of these laws, the higher their upper limit becomes. In this world, hard work alone doesn't cut it—talent and resources are the most important thing.
Take Mu Xuanyin, for example, it took her thousands of years to master the Moon Splitting Cascade, and even then, she hadn't fully reached the perfected realm of Concealment.
Yet, Yun Che took only a little over three months to surpass her and cultivate it to perfection.
Another example is Huo Poyun. At only 23 years old, he could barely manage to use the Nine Suns Heaven's Fury. Meanwhile, his master, Huo Rulie, spent thousands of years trying to comprehend it, even to the point of losing his ability to get his 'wiwi' to stand up. Yet, despite all that, he still failed to fully master the technique.
In this world, without talent, no matter how many years you spend, you won't be able to compete with a genius.
That's why, despite the Eternal Heaven Realm possessing the Eternal Heaven Pearl, they were still weaker than the Brahma Monarch God Realm.
As Yun Wuji opened the door, an exquisite figure flew towards him. Feng Hanyue, who had just made a breakthrough, was so elated she resembled a snow sprite. Her eyes sparkled when she saw Yun Wuji, and she exclaimed, "Wuji, you came back! Have you seen Hanxue?"
"Oh, it's Hanyue. Aren't you always stuck together with your big sister Hanxue every day? Why'd you suddenly lose her today?" Yun Wuji asked with a beaming smile.
"It's little sister, little sister…" Feng Hanyue muttered a soft protest. Then, her tone brightened as she added, "Because, over the last two days in closed-door training, I made a breakthrough! Now, I'm one level higher than Hanxue, hehehehe."
"Oh!" Yun Wuji exclaimed, "Hanyue is so amazing. You've actually already reached the fourth level of the Tyrant Profound Realm, you're about to catch up to Chu Yueli and Mu Lanyi."
Feng Hanyue's smile grew even brighter at Yun Wuji's praise. "Hehe, of course! I can't let myself fall behind my senior sisters. But honestly, it's all thanks to you. Without your help, I might never have even reached the Throne level."
"It's also thanks to your 'effort,'" Yun Wuji chuckled mischievously, moving closer and pulling her into his arms. "After all, dual cultivation requires two people, hehe."
"Are the other girls inside?" Yun Wuji asked, his hand lowering to give her soft, round butt a squeeze. Feng Hanyue's figure was already quite ample, and with the effects of the body thickening technique, her dimensions had only grown more 'stronger.'
"Ahn... they're inside. Stop—don't do it here... someone might see us," Feng Hanyue gasped, leaning into his chest as she whispered softly between breaths. After countless sessions of dual cultivation with him, her body had become incredibly sensitive to his touch; it only took a single caress from him to flip her switch.
"Heh, our Hanyue has gotten so needy," Yun Wuji chuckled, kissing her lips before letting her go, much to her disappointment. "We can go to my room... but that'll have to wait for later."
"Let's head inside, and please call your sister as well. I have something important to discuss with all of you," Yun Wuji said, giving ass one last squeeze before heading in.
Inside, the training room was vast, stretching so far that it was hard to see its edges at first glance. Looking up, the ceiling was nowhere in sight. Clearly, the space had been expanded using spatial power and reinforced with a spatial formation.
The space inside this room spanned over 200 kilometers.
After stepping inside, Yun Wuji casually flew to the center of the "room." There, embedded in the middle, was a metallic silver cube with a tiny blue sphere nestled at its core.
It is the water seed!
The metallic cube was designed to protect the sphere, preventing it from being stolen. After all, who could predict if, by some odd accident, a thief might break in and try to steal it?
After a few moments of his arrival, Yun Wuji sensed multiple auras approaching from different directions.
"Wuji!" In the next instant, all the girls inside appeared in front of him.
Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli, Murong Qianxue, Jun Lianqie, Mu Lanyi, Gong Yuxian, and Feng Hanyue. Feng Hanxue had been called by her and would join them shortly.
"Senior Wuji!" A new group arrived; Mu Lingxue, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin. The trio who had participated in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, along with his maid, Cang Yue.
"Did you finish your business? You didn't get hurt, right?" Chu Yuechan walked up to him, inspecting his body for any injuries.
"Of course not, everything went smoother than I expected," Yun Wuji smiled gently and pulled her into his arms. "Two of the four sacred grounds were destroyed, and the other two are surrounded. So, from now on, our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is the strongest force on the continent."
"We don't care if we are the strongest, we just hope to live peacefully and quietly," Gong Yuxian said, shaking her head without excitement as she walked over to Yun Wuji.
Back in the novel, she had been quite competitive, eager to surpass the Heavenly Sword Villa and make her sect the number one in the Blue Nation. But now, after seeing the wider world and its higher places, she no longer felt that drive.
She would rather spend her time with Yun Wuji and look after her disciples.
"...Hmm, actually, I have something to tell you all," Yun Wuji hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak.
Upon hearing him, all the girls turned their attention to him. Inside the room were all of his women, a total of 12.
Although he had once said that he wanted to make the 2000 disciples of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace his harem, that had been nothing more than his dick talking. Even if he truly wanted to, it would be an utterly unrealistic goal.
At least for now, hehe...
The only women he had a relationship with were the Frozen Cloud Seven Fairies, the three top disciples, and the Palace Mistress.
And of course Cang Yue.
"What is it? Why do you look so embarrassed?" Noticing his expression, Chu Yuechan suddenly recalled the time when she regained her memories. He had the same expression when he wanted to confess how he manipulated her.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Speak. Even if you do something outrageous, we won't get angry."
"That's right, I won't be angry. Did you massacre all the people in the sacred ground?" Gong Yuxian added, speaking in the tone of a gentle older sister.
"I also won't get angry, but I know you wouldn't feel guilty even if you massacred billions. So, did you probably... ahem... take advantage of all the female disciples there?" Murong Qianxue said, her tone teasing yet serious.
"...WTF, what do you take me for? A Xianxia or wuxia MC?" Black lines appeared on his forehead as he scolded them angrily. "I didn't rape anyone! It's just... that... I'm about to get married!"
"What?!!" Everyone shouted in shock.
"YUN WUJII!!!" Chu Yuechan, who had been in his arms and just moments ago said they wouldn't be angry with him, suddenly shouted in anger, her fair hands pinching his waist.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Gong Yuxian, who had just said she wouldn't mind him committing a massacre, suddenly changed her expression. Her face turned terrifyingly cold as she walked closer to him and grabbed his shoulder.
"That's right! We need an explanation right now!" Murong Qianxue, who had earlier said she wouldn't care even if he raped all the women from the sacred grounds, walked over and grabbed his balls.
The other girls also surrounded him, their expressions varied. Some wore angry looks, while others had expressionless faces.
Even Feng Hanyue, who had been playfully teasing him just moments ago, now looked at him with a terrifying expression. Her hands were hidden behind her, and it seemed that if he said the wrong thing, she would stab him with something.
The only ones who didn't seem angry were his maid Cang Yue, Mu Lingxue, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin.
The trio looked at him with pitying expressions, while Cang Yue smiled softly, bringing her finger to her mouth and licking it with her pink tongue.
"Wait! I can explain! Qianxue, get your hand off my little dragon! If anything happens to it, you'll not only face my wrath but also your sisters's wrath. This is the secret to our happiness!" Yun Wuji broke into a cold sweat as he saw their reactions, especially Murong Qianxue's.
He severely underestimated the weight of the word "marriage" to them!
"Hmph! You'd better explain yourself!" Murong Qianxue snorted, not loosening her grip, and tightened her hold on him.
"Long story short, I proposed to Huan Caiyi, and we'll be getting married next month," Yun Wuji said, taking a deep breath. However, seeing their darkened expressions, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait, wait, hold on! Let me tell you something! Let me sell you something!"
"Hmph! I knew it would be that flat tsundere!" Chu Yuechan snorted, her eyes narrowing. "Didn't you always say you don't like tsundere girls, that they're all outdated? So, what are you going to say now? Are you going to tell us that even if you marry that woman, you'll still love all of us?"
"Speak," Gong Yuxian said, her expression remaining unchanged as she spoke a single word.
"While coming here, I had a thought. How about we get married during this month?" Yun Wuji suddenly proposed.
"What?!!"
