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

Ugly time.

Jingsi Pavilion.

The candlelight flickered in the pavilion, and Yun Che lay flat on the couch.

Xu Wan had her back to him, curled up, breathing evenly, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Yun Che looked at the back of her head and sighed inwardly, "Wan'er, I'm sorry. I broke my promise. I can't sleep with you anymore."

He gently stroked Xu Wan's long hair, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.

At this moment, Xu Wan suddenly turned over and unconsciously hugged Yun Che with both hands.

Yun Che's heart trembled, and he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. That kiss contained endless debt and reluctance.

He knew that he had to leave because Chen Xuan might go to his bedroom to look for him tonight.

If he was not here, Chen Xuan would definitely find him here, and Xu Wan would definitely be punished.

Then, he flashed and disappeared from the couch like a ghost, leaving only a faint fluorescent light.

Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and saw that there was no one around her. A feeling of loss and sadness suddenly surged in her heart.

It turned out that she was already awake when she turned over, but she chose to pretend to be asleep and did not open her eyes.

She smiled bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Oh, now you have learned how to lie to me.

After coaxing me, you went back to coax Shuangyue, right?"

Xu Wan's eyes were slightly red, and she continued, "It was you who changed your mind.

Or did you already have feelings for each other before you met me?

And I am a latecomer after all..."

Her voice was full of helplessness and sadness, as if at this moment, all the good things had turned into nothing.

……

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, candlelight flickered and the aroma of tea wafted upwards like clouds in a fairyland.

Chen Xuan and others sat on the mat, chatting around the fire, laughing and sharing the joy and happiness of the New Year.

Suddenly, Yun Che appeared here. His arrival was like a breeze, blowing through every corner of the hall.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan and the others stood up and saluted, their faces filled with respect and joy.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Yun Che, you're here!"

Yun Che nodded slightly and replied, "I took a short break and came here after I recovered."

He glanced at the crowd and saw that there were quite a few people, including True Man Jiuyang, Jun Yan, Mu Qing, Shuangyue, Bai Yuan, Xingze and others.

The expressions of the several people were different, each with his own merits.

At this time, Shuangyue came over slowly, holding a teacup in her hand, and said humbly, "Emperor, please have some tea."

Yun Che's right hand, which was behind his back, unconsciously clenched into a fist, expressing his dissatisfaction with Shuang Yue.

However, he did not show his dissatisfaction.

Yun Che took the teacup from Shuangyue's hand.

He was not in a hurry to taste it, but turned his gaze to Chen Xuan beside him.

The corner of his mouth curled up with a playful smile, and he said slowly: "Brother Chenxuan is really...

During this Spring Festival, the elegant activity of brewing tea around the fire,

How could you not invite me to share it?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Xuan's face, but he then smiled and said, "Didn't you, Yun Che, find an excuse to run away from the New Year's banquet? You even said you were feeling unwell."

As he spoke, he patted Yun Che's shoulder and said earnestly: "You, be nice to Shuangyue.

After all, she is the one who has been silently by your side.

She truly deserves your throne as Empress!"

Yun Che nodded lightly, his voice cold but firm: "I naturally understand her intentions.

But as an emperor, I have a heavy responsibility and need to practice day and night.

He is dedicated to training all monks to ascend to the heavens, and has no time to care for her."

Chen Xuan heard this and shook his head helplessly.

He knew very well that this was just an excuse made up by Yun Che, so he could only call out loudly, "Servant, bring me a mat."

Before he finished speaking, an attendant quickly appeared, holding a mat in his hand. He bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

Yun Che nodded slightly in response.

The attendant respectfully placed the mat next to Chenxuan's mat, bowed, and quietly withdrew.

Chen Xuan invited Yun Che to sit down, and Yun Che picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea.

He could only smell the fragrance of the tea, the rich taste, and even a hint of sweetness. He nodded in approval and drank it all in one gulp.

Frost Moon, who was standing by, saw this and asked softly, "Is the Emperor still drinking?"

Yun Che handed her the teacup and praised, "The tea is not bad, it's a floral tea."

Shuangyue took the teacup and was about to continue drinking when she saw Yun Che had already lifted up his outer robe and sat elegantly on the soft mat.

Chen Xuan also sat down and told everyone to sit down together.

For a moment, everyone sat in a circle, cross-legged.

Shimotsuki turned around, placed the teacup on the table, and sat down gracefully.

Chen Xuan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Yun Che, this tea was brewed by Shuang Yue herself!"

Yun Che replied calmly, "Mm, the tea is good."

Then he frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Brother Chenxuan, what are you guys discussing together?"

Chen Xuan held his long beard and replied slowly: "We are discussing the start of a trial in the new year.

Let the monks explore and hone their skills,

In order to enhance their strength.

And that demon cultivator Chu Feng."

Yun Che frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked with concern, "So how did you guys discuss it?

Do you need me to go find Chu Feng and purify his demonic energy to prevent him from causing harm to the world?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan fell into a brief silence.

Mu Qing, who was sitting next to her, clenched her fists, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

As soon as she heard Chu Feng's name, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.

That shameless man not only sucked her phoenix blood,

He also left his teeth marks on her shoulder and even forcefully kissed her.

She must avenge this grudge!

Mu Qing suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Yun Che's side, and said in a resolute tone: "Emperor, Sect Master,

Chu Feng is beyond saving. Leave him to me. I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly when he heard this and agreed readily: "Okay!"

Yun Che's eyes were fixed on Mu Qing, and his mind couldn't help but recall the last time Chu Feng broke into Lingshan to look for Mu Qing.

At that time, he had just received a divine punishment and was forcibly taken away by Shuangyue, so he was unable to stop it in time.

Thinking of this, Yun Che slowly asked: "Mu Qing,

"What did Chu Feng do to you? Why do you hate him so much?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and he stammered, "He...he is shameless..."

Yun Che frowned upon seeing this, and immediately understood everything: "You were defiled by him?"

Mu Qing took a deep breath and began to tell the story: "He came here by smelling my blood.

That day I saved Senior Sister Xu with my blood,

He stripped my clothes off on the platform,

Bit my shoulder and drank my blood.

Although he later kidnapped me, he only insulted me verbally and did not do anything excessive.

I’m still innocent…”

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the people sitting there varied.

Chen Xuan looked at Mu Qing, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered: "Mu Qing, please sit down."

Mu Qing did not sit down, but still stood there stubbornly.

Yun Che suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of undisguised contempt: "How could one remain innocent after being abducted by a demonic cultivator?"

Mu Qing was furious when he heard this.

The vicious look in his eyes seemed to want to devour Yun Che alive.

She retorted: “I am telling the truth, I am innocent!

Emperor, are you insulting me by saying this?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che slowly stood up, his gaze like a knife piercing Mu Qing's heart.

He said indifferently: "Mu Qing, whether you are innocent or not, what does it have to do with me?"

At this moment, the expressions of the people sitting there were different, and the atmosphere became subtle for a moment.

Seeing this, Jun Yan quickly stood up.

He stopped in front of Mu Qing and bowed to Yun Che, saying, "Mu Qing has a hot temper. I hope Your Majesty will forgive my mistakes."

True Man Jiuyang also walked over slowly.

His eyes were full of amusement: "Emperor and Mu Qing are really unique every time they meet.

This fire dragon collides with the fire phoenix. Interesting, very interesting."
