The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

In the Yangxin Palace, Chen Xuan and Yun Che stood side by side, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

Xu Wan stood quietly behind Chen Xuan, her eyes fixed on Yun Che's tall figure, her brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought.

She thought to herself: Master came to see me, why can't I be happy at all?

Afterwards, Xu Wan walked towards Chen Xuan, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Foster father, I'm going to practice."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

Yun Che looked at her departing back and sighed in his heart: Wan'er, don't you really want to see me?

Yun Che followed Chen Xuan into the spacious and quaint study. The study was filled with the faint scent of ink and bamboo, interweaving a quiet and profound atmosphere.

Chen Xuan walked to a huge desk with ease and sat down. The desk seemed like a witness to the years, with mountains of bamboo slips piled on it, and each scroll carried endless knowledge and wisdom.

Yun Che stood quietly in front of the desk, his eyes drawn to the ancient text. He casually picked up a scroll of bamboo slips, gently unfolded it, and slid his fingertips across the bamboo slips, as if he were having a conversation with history.

However, after just quickly browsing a few lines, he put the bamboo slips back in their place and looked around the study. The exquisite ornaments and quaint decorations all revealed the owner's taste and style.

Chen Xuan was immersed in the world of bamboo slips. It took him a long time to slowly look up, with wisdom flashing in his deep eyes.

He looked at Yun Che, a gentle smile on his lips, and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask my servant to arrange it.

However, in my land of Lingshan, spiritual fruits are traditionally eaten as food, and they are exceptionally delicious. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and settled on Chen Xuan's face. His eyes held a mixture of tenderness and determination. "I have indeed eaten too many spiritual fruits. This time, I specially brought some fish and shrimp with me."

As he spoke, he moved his palm slightly, and a crystal clear glass bottle appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The bottle seemed to have magic powers. Various kinds of fish and shrimps swam inside it, happily moving through the water, as if unaware of the turmoil in the outside world.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity: "Your bottle is really magical. It can preserve fresh things so cleverly."

He exclaimed in admiration. However, his tone was filled with a hint of helplessness and emotion: "But... these fish and shrimp are for Xiao Wan to eat, right? She is very much in your heart, making you pamper her so much.

But I must remind you again, if you two, master and disciple, are forced to be together, it is really against the will of heaven.

You are a god, but she is just a demon."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che's smile faded slightly, and his eyes became deep and complex.

After a moment of silence, Yun Che changed the subject and said to Chen Xuan, "How is Jin Xi's cultivation going in Lingshan? Which master is he training under now?"

Brother Chenxuan, if it is convenient for you, could you take me to visit the child and learn about his recent situation?"

Chen Xuan held his long beard with his hand and laughed heartily, "That child is no ordinary person, he is a divine beast Qilin! Naturally, I will properly arrange for him to be in the Wuji Sect and practice with Fairy Shuangyue."

When Yun Che heard the word "Shuangyue", he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly: "In Shuangyue... Then call Shang Wan'er, come with me to Wuji Sect and taste the delicious fish and shrimp!"

Yun Che followed closely behind Chen Xuan, his steps steady and powerful, as they walked together into Xu Wan's quiet and elegant bedroom.

As soon as you step over the threshold, what comes into view is a warm and simple small room.

The room is decorated in a simple yet stylish way, exuding a fresh and refined atmosphere.

There was a glass bottle on the table, with a few fireflies flying in the bottle.

These were the fireflies that Yun Che had attracted when he and she were cultivating in the spiritual spring at Lingshan Academy half a year ago.

……

In the center of the room, there is a simple bamboo bed. This bamboo bed is not covered with any luxurious quilts or soft fabrics. It simply exposes its original wood texture, which looks particularly rustic.

Xu Wan's petite body was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, her eyes closed, her breathing long and steady, as if she was practicing with full concentration.

Her figure appears exceptionally graceful, like a quietly blooming lotus, emitting a faint fragrance.

On her dress, a small and cute white tiger was lying peacefully, also with its eyes closed, enjoying the tranquility and harmony.

Yun Che stood aside, looking at Xu Wan tenderly, sighing inwardly.

Wan'er, have you been practicing on this cold bamboo bed for the past six months?

He was well aware of the hardships and difficulties of the path of cultivation, and he understood even more how much perseverance and determination it took to practice on this cold bamboo bed.

A deep admiration and love welled up in his heart.

Xu Wan seemed to be immersed in his own world of cultivation and did not notice the arrival of the two.

The little white tiger keenly sensed the subtle changes in the surrounding atmosphere, and it suddenly opened its eyes as clear as springs.

When it saw that the visitors were Chen Xuan and Yun Che, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes.

Then, it jumped lightly from Xu Wan's dress, like a white lightning, and jumped accurately into Chen Xuan's warm arms.

Chen Xuan called softly, "Xiao Wan... Xiao Wan."

Xu Wan still closed her eyes and did not respond.

The little white tiger rubbed against Chen Xuan's warm embrace, then looked up at Xu Wan, who was meditating with her eyes closed on the bamboo bed, and howled childishly a few times, as if telling something.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her bright eyes.

When she saw the two people in front of her, an expression of surprise and respect appeared on her face.

She immediately jumped down from the bamboo bed and bowed respectfully to Chen Xuan, her voice clear and pleasant: "Foster father."

Then, she turned to Yun Che, bowed slightly, and greeted him politely, "Hello, Emperor."

When Yun Che heard this, he inexplicably felt a hint of displeasure in his heart.

He turned to look at Chen Xuan, his tone filled with ridicule and dissatisfaction: "Brother Chen Xuan, are you really so poor in Lingshan that you can't even afford a bed and quilt?

How can you let Wan'er practice on this cold bamboo bed?"

Although there was a hint of joking in his words, his eyes revealed his deep concern for Xu Wan.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and explained, "Yun Che, you misunderstood.

This bamboo bed is not an ordinary one. I prepared it specially for Xiaowan.

This bamboo bed contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is very beneficial for cultivation.

Xiao Wan's cultivation on this bamboo bed will not only help her absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but will also sharpen her will and perseverance. This is my expectation and test for her."

Yun Che gently placed his hand on Chen Xuan's shoulder, and said with a tone of unquestionable determination: "Hurry up and ask someone to prepare two soft quilts.

If I let her continue to sleep on this cold, hard, and uncomfortable bamboo bed, I will just take her home."

After hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded helplessly and then called his servants to make proper arrangements.

Xu Wan's gaze was fixed on Yun Che, as if he was the only one left in the world.

When she heard Yun Che's gentle words, feeling sorry for herself for cultivating on this cold and uncomfortable bamboo bed, and asking her adoptive father to send someone to prepare a brocade quilt, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Tears fell quietly like pearls from a broken string.

She murmured "Master~"

Her voice was filled with endless emotion and dependence, and she immediately threw herself into Yun Che's warm embrace without hesitation.

Yun Che patted her back gently and said softly, "I'm here."

This scene made Chen Xuan sigh and said helplessly: "Yun Che, my Lingshan is in chaos since you came."

Yun Che gently wiped the tears from Xu Wan's cheeks. His eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could melt all the sorrow in the world.

He whispered softly, "Wan'er, I brought your favorite fish and shrimp.

How about we go to Wuji Sect to visit Jin Xi and share this delicious food with him?"

When Xu Wan heard this, the tears in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a bright smile.

She smiled through her tears and nodded gently, with a hint of joy in her voice: "Okay, let's go together."
