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

Shuangyue lowered her head, looking very lost.

She bowed slightly, folded her hands, cupped her palms, and saluted Yun Che. Her voice was filled with a hint of reluctance: "Shuangyue will take my leave."

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared before Yun Che's eyes.

Yun Che looked up at the light streaming high in the sky and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

Nine Suns Divine Sect,

Inside the Jingsi Pavilion.

Lying on the couch, Xu Wan was awakened by the endless sound of fireworks, and her heart was filled with irritation and could not calm down.

She sat up suddenly, her back resting against the soft pillow, her brows furrowed as she blurted out a complaint: "I finally fell asleep and was woken up by the sound of fireworks."

After she finished speaking, she looked around and saw that she was the only one sitting alone on the couch in the room. A sense of loss came over her.

She closed her eyes in disappointment, and Yun Che's appearance emerged in her mind, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She subconsciously clenched her fists. In her hands, she held a golden spirit stone that emitted a faint glow. It was a gift from Yun Che to her.

At this moment, a familiar and gentle voice came: "Wan'er, I'm here."

Xu Wan was suddenly startled. Isn't this the Master's voice?

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked forward, only to see Yun Che walking towards her with a smile. That figure seemed as unreal as a dream.

Xu Wan quickly got off the couch, put on her exquisite embroidered shoes, and stood in front of Yun Che.

She threw herself directly into Yun Che's arms, buried her head in his chest, rubbing it back and forth, feeling the familiar and warm breath, and called softly, "Master, you finally came to see me."

Yun Che patted her back gently and said softly, "Wan'er, I've brought you a golden elixir. It's freshly made."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan looked up at Yun Che, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she called out again, "Master."

Yun Che stretched out his hand, holding a golden elixir in it. He smiled and said to Xu Wan, "Wan'er, take it quickly."

Xu Wan said coquettishly, "Yun Chen, can you eat this golden elixir first and then feed it to me?"

Hearing this, Yun Che gently stroked her silver hair and smiled helplessly: "Why do you want it as soon as I come?"

Xu Wan still held her head high, her cheeks flushed, and said shyly, "I just want you to kiss me."

Yun Che smiled and said lovingly, "You just know how to tease people."

As he spoke, Yun Che placed the golden elixir in his hand into his mouth, then lowered his head to look at Xu Wan affectionately, lifted her head with both hands, and kissed her lips.

Xu Wan closed her eyes and opened her mouth, and Yun Che passed the golden elixir in his mouth into hers.

After a moment, Yun Che left her lips and took his hands away from her head.

Xu Wan suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Yun Che in confusion, and asked in confusion: "Yun Chen, why don't you continue?"

Yun Che rubbed his head and said helplessly, "It took me a month to refine this pill.

I haven't showered or changed yet to come see you, I have to go now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan let go of Yun Che's waist, her face filled with unhappiness: "You're leaving right after arriving. You might as well not have come."

Yun Che looked at Xu Wan affectionately. She was wearing a long pink dress that swayed gently. She lowered her head, crossed her arms, and twisted her body restlessly.

Suddenly, Yun Che's eyes fell on the red string bracelet on her wrist. It was made of a copper coin and several small bells.

He grasped her wrist. Xu Wan raised her head abruptly, her heart tightening as she met Yun Che's sharp gaze.

He questioned, "Who gave you this red string bracelet? Was it Xuanqing?"

Xu Wan didn't say anything, because this was indeed a gift from Xuanqing, and she even asked Xuanqing to put it on her personally.

She stretched out her left hand and touched Yun Che's face, wanting to comfort him, but Yun Che turned his head away and let go of her hand.

With a wry smile, he said, "It really was given by him. You accepted his red string. Are you dating him behind my back?"

Xu Wan quickly shook her head and retorted, "No, I only love you."

As she spoke, she took Yun Che's hand and continued to explain: "Xuan Qing just saw that I was weak,

He just bought me this copper bracelet, saying it could ward off evil spirits. I only consider him a friend, so I can return it to him.

Xu Wan shook Yun Che's hand and continued coquettishly, "Little Yunyun, don't be angry."

Yun Che suddenly fell silent, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was contemplating some important decision.

Seeing this, Xu Wan took his hands and interlocked their fingers. The warmth came from Yun Che's palms, accompanied by a barely perceptible tremor.

An inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in Xu Wan's heart, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

Not long ago, the golden elixir that Yun Che had given her slowly moved through her body, and spiritual energy surged.

It was like a warm current flowing through her limbs, but it also aroused the desires and longings deep in her heart.

Yun Che slowly turned his head and looked directly at Xu Wan, his eyes filled with complexity and struggle.

Xu Wan's heart tightened, and she asked softly, "Tomorrow is the New Year's banquet, will you come?"

Yun Che answered irrelevantly, his voice low and hoarse: "Wan'er, if you ever change your mind, I will grant your wish.

I know that being my empress is not easy. If you want to become a Taoist couple with Xuanqing, then I will let you go.

People like me are probably destined to be lonely and shouldn’t expect eternal love…”

Xu Wan felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard this. She released his hands and hugged him tightly, burying her head deeply in his chest. Tears silently fell as she choked and said, "Mo Yunchen, I'm not afraid of hardship. I only love you and want to be with you forever."
