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

Longxuan Palace.

Yun Che stood with his hands behind his back, like a solitary and proud statue, standing in the center of the inner hall.

He closed his eyes, thinking of Xu Wan.

Thinking of her softness, her delicateness and wildness.

Then, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a charming smile.

"Uncle, uncle!"

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, shattering Yun Che's fantasy.

Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Jin Xi quietly entering his sight.

Jin Xi was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a pot of steaming tea and two exquisite cups, exuding a faint tea fragrance.

Jin Xi walked to the table and carefully placed the tray.

Yun Che also walked over. Seeing Jin Xi’s face beaming with a smile, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, he asked, “Uncle, you’re back? Did you and Auntie sleep well last night?”

Yun Che did not answer Jin Xi's question. Instead, he lifted his outer robe and sat down elegantly in front of the table.

His eyes fell on the teapot on the table, his expression instantly becoming serious, and he asked, "Did Shuangyue ask you to bring this tea?"

Jin Xi also sat down, nodded, and replied: "Yes."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp, appearing quite generous.

Afterwards, he poured another cup of tea, placed it in front of Yun Che, and said with a smile, "Uncle, have some tea."

Yun Che picked up the teacup on the table. The steam rising from it was like floating fairy air.

Yun Che was seen shaking the cup gently, and ripples appeared in the tea in the cup.

He blew a breath gently, then took a few sips, savoring the fragrance and sweetness of the tea.

The warm tea slowly enters the stomach, and the mellow tea flavor spreads between the lips and teeth.

Then he slowly put down the teacup, which was his habit of drinking tea for many years.

His eyes fell on Jin Xi, with a bit of solemnity and worry.

He began to lecture her: "Xi'er, from now on, you can't eat anything Shuangyue gives you."

Jin Xi heard this and showed a puzzled expression on his face. He blinked his bright eyes.

He asked doubtfully, "Shuangyue Sect Leader is a very nice person. She treats me very well and she won't harm me."

Yun Che shook his head helplessly, sighed, his eyes filled with worry: "Xi'er, I'm afraid she'll have feelings for you.

She's too cunning and too patient, so I have to be on guard."

Jin Xi smiled disapprovingly upon hearing this. She said confidently, "With my uncle here, what can she do to me?"

Yun Che gently stroked Jin Xi's head, his eyes filled with doting and worry: "Xi'er, you are still young.

People in this world are often sweet-mouthed but treacherous, hiding a knife in their smiles.

For your own safety, you should stay with me from now on."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He said excitedly, "Uncle, will you teach me how to practice in person?"

Yun Che nodded slightly, a look of approval appearing on his face.

He stood up and said with a firm look, "Follow me, Xier.

I will do my best to teach you the way of cultivation, so that you can protect yourself and not be bullied by others in this world where the strong are respected."

When Jin Xi heard this, his eyes flashed with anticipation and determination.

Following closely behind Yun Che, he seemed to see his future glory and achievements.

Two golden streams of light suddenly shot into the Alchemy Pavilion, and then transformed into two human figures in the air. The scent of elixir instantly spread.

Yun Che took a deep breath, taking in the rich herbal scent, and then transformed it into true energy.

In the alchemy pavilion, two women and one man were concentrating on refining pills in front of the alchemy furnace, with wisps of mist swirling above the furnace.

When Shuang Yue saw Yun Che appear, she immediately stood up from the table and walked over.

He bowed slightly to Yun Che and said respectfully, "Shuang Yue pays respect to the Emperor."

Yun Che's expression was indifferent, and he simply replied calmly, "Yeah."

Two women and one man were concentrating on refining the elixir. Suddenly, they heard Yun Che's voice and couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

They quickly stood up and walked in front of Yun Che in an orderly manner.

The male cultivator Wei Ranzhu was the first to bow and salute, his voice respectful and clear: "Disciple pays homage to the Emperor."

Then, the female monk Liu Xiaohan standing next to him followed suit.

He bowed, his voice carrying a barely perceptible excitement as he said, "Disciple pays respect to the Emperor."

Yun Che nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over them gently in response.

At this time, a female monk wearing a white veil slowly walked forward. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, bowed slightly, and said in a soft and clear voice: "Si Yao greets the Emperor."

Yun Che stared at her, and her figure during the Purple Thunder Trial emerged in his mind.

At that time, she was cursed and half of her face was ulcerated, but she miraculously regained her beauty during the Purple Thunder Trial.

But now that her beauty has been restored, why does she still cover her face with a veil?

Shuang Yue, who was standing by, saw Yun Che lost in thought and could not help but call out softly, "Emperor, your body has not yet recovered. You should go to your desk and rest."

Yun Che came back to his senses, gave Shuang Yue a cold look, and then strode towards the desk.

Seeing this, Shimotsuki followed closely behind.

On the table, a pile of bamboo slips were neatly arranged, like soldiers waiting for inspection.

Next to it are several ancient books with blue covers, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

In the center of the desk, an ancient book was unfolded, which was obviously what Shuangyue had just read.

A small round incense burner is placed on the corner of the table. The smoke from the burner rises up, emitting a faint fragrance. The fragrance wafts into the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.

This aromatherapy was Yun Che's favorite in the past, and it was used to refresh his mind. Now that he saw it again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Next to it, a tea table was quietly waiting, on which was placed a set of exquisite tea sets.

There were a few tempting peach blossom cakes placed on the white jade plate, and there was another plate next to it, which was covered with pink petals.

Seeing this, Shuangyue stretched out her delicate hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Yun Che had a serious expression on his face. He lifted his outer robe with his right hand and sat down gracefully in front of the desk.

On the other side, Jin Xi and three monks were gathered around the alchemy furnace, eagerly discussing the art of alchemy.

Yun Che picked up the book that Shuangyue had read and gently closed it.

On the light blue cover, there were four big words written: "Secret to Having a Child".

He raised his head and looked coldly at Shuangyue who was standing quietly beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference and inquiry.

He asked, "Are you finally willing to take out this book?"

Shimotsuki's expression was unusually calm, as if he had anticipated this question.

With a look of admiration on her face, she said, "Shuangyue is willing to work with the Emperor to refine this elixir."

Yun Che frowned in displeasure upon hearing this.

He said sternly: "Shuangyue, what are you thinking?

How could I not know? You want my blood essence to refine this elixir, right? "

Upon hearing this, Shuang Yue immediately lowered her head. Her voice was calm and respectful as she replied, "Shuang Yue wouldn't dare."

However, beneath those lowered eyelids, a hint of sadness quietly emerged.

But only the earth can see her inner weakness and endless grievances.

Yun Che waved his hand and ordered in a cold tone, "Alright, go teach them how to make pills."

Upon hearing this, Shuang Yue looked up at Yun Che.

I saw him concentrating on reading the book in his hand, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

She replied softly, "Your Majesty, their alchemy skills are already quite advanced, and they don't need my instruction."

Yun Che didn't even look up, but casually said, "Then be a maid. Stand aside and don't say a word."

Shuangyue responded softly: "Shuangyue obeys your command!"

Afterwards, she stood silently beside the desk, watching Yun Che flipping through the books.

His serious look made her unconsciously indulge in it.
