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

In the distant Nine Netherworld, there is a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave. It is so cold that nothing can survive.

The entrance of the cave is always shrouded in a layer of mysterious ice fog, as if time has stopped here.

Yan Wu, the daughter of Hei Yao, has been full of doubts about her life experience since she was a child.

She had fiery red hair, which was in stark contrast to the icy cave.

There was a gleam of indomitable will and desire in her eyes, a persistent pursuit of the truth.

"Father, you said that only here can I find the answers about my mother."

Yan Wu looked at Hei Yao, his eyes full of determination. Hei Yao, this old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, had a complicated look in his eyes. He nodded gently and led the group into the unknown abyss.

As they went deeper, the cold inside the ice cave became more and more biting, but a raging fire was burning in Yan Wu's heart.

She remembered that she woke up among a group of monsters. Her memory was vague. She only remembered that she was a descendant of the Qilin clan, but she knew nothing about her past.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she could always feel an inexplicable force calling her, which was her deep longing for her mother.

"Your mother is the brightest star in the world." Hei Yao's voice echoed in the ice cave, with a hint of subtle sadness.

"She made a mistake out of love, angered the heavens, was stripped of her immortal bones, and was sealed here for ten thousand years."

Yan Wu was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought that her mother would have such a tragic fate.

She clenched her fists and vowed to solve the mystery of the ice and rescue her mother.

Hei Yao, Yan Wu's biological father, is also an important figure on this trip. Although he is a demon king, his eyes hide endless love and guilt for Yan Wu.

Deep in the ice cave, he slowly opened his mouth and recounted a forgotten memory.

"Back then, I fell in love with your mother, but it was opposed by the heavens. To protect me, she took all the blame.

I thought her soul had been scattered, but unexpectedly she was sealed here." Hei Yao's voice trembled, expressing regret for the past and hope for the future.

……

Yan Wu listened to her father's story, tears welling up in her eyes. She finally understood why she woke up in the monster and why her memory was blank.

It turned out that all this was the sacrifice made by her mother to protect her.

Tan Yuan walked forward and gently wiped away the tears from Yan Wu's eyes, his tone full of care: "Wu'er, don't cry. We will definitely find a way to rescue mother."

Yan Wu raised his head and looked at Tan Yuan, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yuan, I want to become stronger and save my mother!"

"I will rescue mother with you." Tan Yuan looked at Yan Wu with a firm gaze, and Yan Wu nodded slightly.

Then, Tan Yuan turned to face the Emperor, knelt on both knees, clasped his fists and saluted, "I beg the Emperor to lend a helping hand to us."

The Emperor looked at Tan Yuan, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Well, considering your sincerity, I will help you this time."

Emperor Yun Che, his appearance increased the chances of success for this rescue operation.

He is not only Xu Wan's master, but also the guardian of the six realms. He knows the secrets of the Ice Cave and is willing to help Yan Wu solve this icy mystery.

"To break this ten thousand year old seal, one must gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one person."

Che stared at Yan Wu, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "And you are the key person."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan immediately stepped forward and injected all her spiritual power into Yan Wu's body without reservation.

Her heart was filled with blessings for Yan Wu. She knew that at this moment, they were all working towards the same goal.

With everyone's combined efforts, the chill within the ice cave began to dissipate. The mysterious icy mist also seemed to sense something and slowly dissipated.

The crowd continued to move forward and came to the deepest part of the ice cave, where a huge ice sculpture appeared before their eyes.

Yan Wu stared at the ice sculpture, her heart filled with endless sadness. She slowly reached out her hand, touched the ice sculpture, and felt her mother's presence.

Suddenly, a tear fell from the corner of Yanwu's eye and dripped onto the ice sculpture. A miracle happened, the ice sculpture began to melt, revealing the figure of a beautiful woman.

Yan Wu watched all this in amazement. Hei Yao stepped forward and said softly, "This is your mother. She is waiting to meet you."

Yan Wu burst into tears and threw herself into her mother's arms. However, at this moment, a cold wind blew, freezing their tightly embraced figures forever at that moment.

That was Yan Wu's mother. Although her appearance had been eroded by time, her beauty and tenacity had not diminished in the slightest.

Tears glistened in her eyes, which were the longing for her daughter and the joy of reunion.

Yan Wu's mother looked at the people around her, gratitude in her eyes.

She gently stroked Yan Wu's hair and said with a smile: "Thank you for allowing me to be reborn."

However, due to being sealed for a long time, her body was extremely weak and she fainted on the ground after she finished speaking.

Hei Yao and Yun Che quickly cast a spell, injecting a powerful spiritual energy into her body.

As the spiritual power flowed, Yan Wu's mother's face gradually turned rosy.

Finally, she slowly opened her eyes, "Hong'er..." She softly called Yan Wu's nickname. At that moment, all the resentment and pain disappeared.

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, as if to make up for the past ten thousand years.

Xu Wan followed Yun Che out of the ice cave. Snow began to fall from the sky, fluttering down like dancing silver butterflies. Yun Che watched all this quietly, feeling a surge of emotion.

Snowflakes fluttered down, landed on the shoulders of the two people, and then melted quietly.

Xu Wan looked up at Yun Che, her eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and tenderness. She asked softly, "Master, why do people always say that immortals and mortals can't fall in love? Could it be that such sincere feelings are also bound by the rules of this world?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che looked towards the distance with a gentle gaze. That was the chaotic land where the six realms intertwined, and it was also the battlefield he had guarded countless times.

He gently held Xu Wan's hand, feeling the warmth in her palm, with indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

He spoke slowly, his voice gentle but firm: "Wan'er, the reason why love between immortals and mortals is considered taboo is because there is an insurmountable gap between the two realms.

Immortals transcend the mundane world, pursuing immortality; mortals are bound by the cycle of reincarnation, where birth, aging, sickness, and death are the norm. This difference often makes it difficult for relationships between the two realms to last.

"However," Yun Che changed the subject and his gaze fell on Xu Wan again, his eyes full of doting and affection.

"You are not a mortal, but a spirit creature with the blood of a cat demon. Your existence has long surpassed the realm of mortals.

Although I have an immortal body, my heart has long been tied to you.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor, I may be an outlier, because I not only protect the peace of the six realms, but also protect you, my Wan'er."

When Xu Wan heard this, her eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to fall.

She snuggled up to Yun Che, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

She asked softly, "Master, what about you and me? Since I'm a cat demon, how can you guarantee that our love won't be punished by the heavens? After all, who in the six realms can defy the will of the Heavenly Emperor?"

Yun Che smiled faintly, a smile that held both helplessness and relief. “Wan’er, do you know why I can roam freely in these six realms, fearless of any rules or constraints?”

He paused, his gaze deep into the sky. "Because I am no ordinary immortal. I possess power that transcends the six realms. My existence is to protect the balance and peace of these six realms."

Although the Emperor of Heaven is powerful, he also needs me to maintain peace in the six realms. Therefore, he dare not easily interfere with my decisions, let alone impose divine punishment on me.

"As for you," Yun Che looked down at Xu Wan, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

“No matter you are a cat demon or any other identity, it cannot change your position in my heart.

I will use everything I have to protect our love and let it shine the brightest in the six realms."

Xu Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she listened to Yun Che's words. She hugged Yun Che tightly, as if wanting to melt into his embrace.

At this moment, she believed that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were in the future, as long as they depended on each other, nothing could stop their love.

Xu Wan shuddered slightly, a flicker of emotion flashing across her eyes. She rested her head against Yun Che's chest and gently opened her red lips, "Then let's work together to protect the peace of the six realms, okay?"

Yun Che laughed, his laughter echoing in the snowstorm. He hugged Xu Wan as if he owned the whole world.

In the flying snow, the two figures gradually walked away, heading towards an unknown future together.

The snowflakes are still falling, but in this place warmed by love, they seem to become soft and gentle.

The figures of Yun Che and Xu Wan gradually faded away, leaving behind only a series of footprints of varying depths and a series of heartwarming and touching stories that echoed outside the Nine Nether Ice Cave...
