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

Shuangyue and Yunche were like gods descending from the sky.

It slowly floated down from the sky, and finally landed lightly in an ancient and mysterious forest.

This forest is full of towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves, as if every tree carries thousands of years of time and stories.

The sunlight shines through the dense treetops and dapples onto the ground, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to the forest.

There are not only towering ancient trees in the forest, but also various magical herbs and fruit trees.

They are either lush and green or laden with fruits, emitting an alluring aroma that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The forest in autumn is like a colorful painting.

Some trees have already put on their golden autumn attire, just like the afterglow of the setting sun, warm and bright;

Some trees still retain their summer greenness and vitality, as if they don't want autumn to come too quickly.

The interweaving of these two completely different colors adds a unique charm to the forest.

Yun Che stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and a hint of displeasure in his expression.

He said in a deep voice: "I sent Jin Xi to Lingshan in the hope that he could concentrate on training and improve his skills.

Rather than letting you run wild and undisciplined."

There was a hint of blame in his tone, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with Shimotsuki's actions.

However, Shimotsuki seemed unconcerned.

She retorted calmly, "Jin Xi is a Qilin and belongs to this free forest.

He likes to run and play in the woods and feel the rhythm of nature.

This forest is rich in spiritual energy, and all kinds of spiritual herbs and fruits grow wildly. It's such a good resource, what's wrong with me letting him use it as he pleases?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a certain firmness and confidence, as if she was justifying her actions.

Yun Che listened to Shuangyue's explanation, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see through Shuangyue's true thoughts, and he said in a deep voice: "Shuangyue, you treat Jinxi differently.

You'd better not have any thoughts about him. If he were to have any mishap in Lingshan, you, the sect leader, would have to abdicate and let someone else take over."

A sincere look appeared on Shuangyue's face. She bowed slightly and said, "Shuangyue is very attentive to every disciple of Wuji Sect.

Furthermore, Shuangyue had no intention of becoming the Sect Leader, and only took on this important responsibility with great reluctance, entrusted by your Majesty."

Yun Che heard this and anger surged in his heart. He said in a cold voice: "It seems that this exalted one is forcing you to do something that is beyond your reach.

You are so wronged to be the leader, why don't you resign early?"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, turned his back to Shuangyue, his face full of displeasure.

Then, he used the technique of transmitting sound over a thousand miles to summon Jin Xi.

A while later, a majestic golden unicorn came galloping over, with a clever and cute little white tiger lying on its back.

Its eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, as if it was looking forward to everything that was to come.

The arrival of Jin Xi and Little White Tiger eased the originally tense atmosphere a little.

Qilin slowly stopped and looked at the two people not far away with curiosity.

The little white tiger couldn't contain his excitement and jumped off the Qilin's back.

He trotted to Yun Che's feet and jumped happily, as if expressing his closeness to Yun Che.

Then it jumped onto Shuangyue, who hugged it tightly and stroked its white fur.

As if caressing his own child, his gentle gaze lingered on it.

The Qilin transformed into a golden light in the air and restored its human form.

He walked in front of Yun Che, bowed, and saluted respectfully, saying: "Jin Xi greets the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed with good health."

Yun Che looked at Jin Xi in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable with his respectful manner.

His face was heavy, but then he smiled and said, "Jin Xi, when no one else is around, just call me uncle."

Upon hearing this, Shuangyue couldn't help but feel secretly happy, because it turned out that she was not an outsider in his heart.

Jin Xi walked up to Yun Che, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Uncle, why did you come to see me? Could it be that you want to test my cultivation again?"

Yun Che turned around, a look of reluctance on his face.

He leaned over and gently touched Jin Xi's head.

In a low and emotional voice, he said, "I plan to return to the Biluo Palace tomorrow, and I came to see you today."

Jin Xi suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. He looked up at Yun Che with curiosity glittering in his eyes and said, "So, uncle is here to say goodbye!

Are all gods so busy?

Is it just constant practice every day, with no time to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che replied with a serious expression, “We cultivate diligently to protect the people of the world and those we love. This is our responsibility and mission as immortals.

Although the path of cultivation is long and arduous, as long as we can protect those we love, it is all worth it."

Jin Xi touched his head, his eyes full of confusion.

He looked at Yun Che and slowly asked, "Uncle, the book says that to become an immortal one needs to be pure in heart and desires.

Can’t get married and have children, is this true?”

Yun Che was shocked when he heard this. He never expected Jin Xi to suddenly ask such a question.

He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer, and then slowly said: "There are indeed rules in heaven that gods cannot be emotional.

This is to maintain their purity and detachment.

But when you are strong enough to take your place in the heavens,

Even when it can provide benefits to them, those rules can be broken for you."

Shuang Yue stood quietly aside, listening to Yun Che's words.

Every word flowed into her heart like a clear spring, causing ripples.

Yun Che's words held an unshakable place in her heart, like the supreme truth, which filled her with deep conviction and admiration.

Jin Xi stood aside, his eyes flashing with understanding and recognition.

He nodded gently and said loudly: "Jin Xi understands."

Afterwards, he seemed to muster up his courage and pulled Yun Che aside.

He stood on tiptoe and whispered softly in Yun Che's ear, as if telling a long-hidden secret: "I have liked Linglong since I was a child, and she likes me too.

Uncle, when you return to Biluo Palace, please remember to visit Linglong in Linglongxuan.

She is a beautiful koi fish that lives in water, completely different from us land dwellers."

Hearing this, Yun Che couldn’t help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

He knew very well that there was a natural boundary between the Koi and the Fire Kirin, one was a water spirit and the other was the overlord of the continent.

Water and fire are incompatible. This is the law of nature and an unchangeable fate.

He was moved by Jin Xi's deep affection for Linglong, but Linglong's identity made him feel helpless and sigh.

He patted Jin Xi's shoulder gently, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding: "Okay, I will go see her."

Yun Che's voice was low and firm. He knew that he couldn't tell Jin Xi this cruel reality right now.

The road ahead is still long, and Jin Xi needs time to grow and face challenges.
