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

Above the nine heavens, surrounded by clouds and mist, a gigantic phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, its wings like burning flames, cutting through the sky.

Emperor Yun Che, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, had a cold face, but could not hide the tenderness in his eyes.

The woman in his arms was none other than his beloved disciple Xu Wan, who was now sleeping on her master's chest with a faint smile on her face, seemingly still immersed in the dream she had just had.

"Master, where are we going?" Xu Wan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with curiosity and excitement.

She looked up at Yun Che and saw a mysterious smile on the corner of her master's mouth, with a playful glint in her eyes.

"Oh? Wan'er is awake?" Yun Che patted Xu Wan's back gently and said with a smile, "Master will take you to a great place. I guarantee you'll like it."

Xu Wan's curiosity intensified upon hearing this. She clung to her master's neck, fearing she would fall from the sky if she wasn't careful. Yun Che, on the other hand, remained calm, as if the fierce winds above the nine heavens were nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

As the phoenix gradually descended, the scene below gradually became clearer. Amidst the murky mist, dim lights and a bustling crowd filled the air. It was the night market in the underworld! Xu Wan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Master, are we going to the ghost market?" Xu Wan's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Yun Che smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "That's right. Master will take you to the night market in the Ghost Market to see if there is anything interesting."

The moment Xu Wan stepped into the ghost market, she felt as if she had entered a whole new world.

The stalls here are filled with all kinds of rare treasures, some of which sparkle with a faint green light, some emit a faint chill, and some emit an alluring fragrance.

The creatures in the ghost market are also varied, including transparent ghosts, evil spirits with fangs, and mysterious figures in black robes.

Yun Che held Xu Wan's hand and moved freely among the crowd. His eyes were filled with vigilance, but more of it was doting and protectiveness towards his disciple.

Xu Wan was like a curious baby, looking left and right, full of curiosity about everything.

"Master, look at that!" Xu Wan suddenly said, pointing to a sandalwood comb on a stall. The comb was exquisitely carved and exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, making it unforgettable at first sight.

Yun Che smiled faintly, walked forward, picked up the sandalwood comb and examined it carefully.

He naturally knew the extraordinary nature of this comb, but when he saw Xu Wan's eager eyes, his heart softened and he decided to buy the comb.

“Spiritual comb, how much is it?” Yun Che asked calmly.

When the stall owner saw Yun Che, he immediately put on a smile and said respectfully, "It turns out that it is His Majesty the Emperor who has come. This comb is made of high-quality sandalwood. It has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the hair, and it contains a faint trace of spiritual energy.

I dare not make an offer, but since Your Majesty the Emperor likes it, let it be considered as a token of my appreciation.

This magic comb is given to you. The comb represents lovesickness, and the magic comb matches the beautiful woman. "

Yun Che frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't like the feeling of taking things from others for free.

Then, he took out a piece of purple crystal spirit stone from his space ring, handed it to the stall owner and said, "This is a purple crystal spirit stone that I refined using spiritual herbs. It is enough to buy your comb."

Seeing this, the stall owner quickly took the purple crystal spirit stone and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Wan looked at the sandalwood comb in her master's hand, her eyes sparkling with joy.

She took the comb and gently combed her long hair. The faint sandalwood scent seemed to be able to dispel all her fatigue and worries.

"Master, this comb is so nice!" Xu Wan said with a smile.

Yun Che looked at his disciple's satisfied expression and felt relieved.

He touched Xu Wan's head and said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it. Let's go and look at other things."

Thus, the master and disciple continued to wander around the ghost market. Whenever Xu Wan took a fancy to something, Yun Che would buy it with a purple crystal spirit stone without hesitation.

These purple crystal spirit stones were all refined by Yun Che himself, and they contained powerful spiritual power and pure energy.

In the ghost market, these amethyst spirit stones are simply hard currency and can be easily exchanged for any rare treasures.

However, Yun Che didn't care about any of this. To him, as long as he could make his apprentice happy, that was all that mattered. He savored every moment he spent with his apprentice, as if the whole world had become a better place.

Just as the master and apprentice were about to leave the ghost market, a mysterious stall attracted their attention.

There was a seemingly ordinary stone on the stall, but it emitted a faint golden light.

Yun Che immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this stone—it was a golden spirit stone that contained powerful spiritual energy!

"Master, look!" Xu Wan pointed at the golden spirit stone and said, "It seems to be glowing!"

Yun Che smiled faintly and walked forward to examine the golden spirit stone carefully.

He could feel the immense spiritual power and pure energy contained within it.

This kind of golden spirit stone is extremely rare in the world of cultivation and is an excellent material for refining high-level magic weapons.

“How do you sell this Golden Spirit Stone?” Yun Che asked calmly.

The moment the stall owner saw Yun Che, he knew he had met a distinguished customer and immediately said respectfully, "So it's Your Excellency the Emperor! This golden spirit stone was something I stumbled upon and had been planning to keep for my own use, but since Your Excellency the Emperor likes it, please name your price!"

Yun Che smiled faintly upon hearing this, and took out a larger purple crystal spirit stone from his interspatial ring, handed it to the stall owner, and said, "This purple crystal spirit stone should be enough to exchange for your gold spirit stone, right?"

The stall owner was overjoyed upon seeing this and quickly took the purple crystal stone, saying with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yun Che put away the Golden Spirit Stone and turned to Xu Wan, saying, "Wan'er, I intend to use this Golden Spirit Stone to refine a magical weapon for you. What do you think?"

Xu Wan's eyes sparkled with surprise when she heard this and she nodded quickly, "Really? Thank you, Master!"

Yun Che smiled faintly and began to think about how to use this golden spirit stone to refine a magic weapon that would best suit Xu Wan.

As the phoenix flapped its wings and flew high again, the master and disciple gradually moved away from the night market in the ghost realm of the underworld.

Xu Wan snuggled in her master's arms, tightly holding the sandalwood comb and the golden spirit stone in her hands, a happy smile on her face.

“Master, I still want to learn how to refine purple crystal spirit stones. Can you teach me after we return to the Azure Sky Palace?” Xu Wan leaned her head on Yun Che’s shoulder and acted coquettishly.

Yun Che smiled fondly and ruffled Xu Wan's hair, "With your master here, you don't need to refine the purple crystal spirit stone yourself."

"Master, will we come here again in the future?" Xu Wan suddenly asked.

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, "Of course. As long as Wan'er likes this place, we can come back anytime."

Xu Wan was even happier when she heard this. She knew that no matter where she went, her master would always be by her side, protecting and caring for her.

This feeling made her feel extremely safe and happy.

As the Phoenix gradually ascended, the Netherworld below gradually disappeared from sight. But Xu Wan knew that there was an unforgettable experience and a precious memory there.

She looks forward to returning to this magical place with her master to continue their adventures and adventures.
