The Frozen Cloud Paradise

'This girl... Oh, what luck for that boy Yun Che to have such a beautiful wife like Xia Qingyue. She's truly like a flawless piece of ice. If she were on Earth, kings would wage war for her, hahaha.'

"….."

Yagami stared at Xia Qingyue through the system screen, truly amazed by her beauty.

Xia Qingyue was dubbed the most beautiful girl in the Floating Cloud City. But if someone claimed she was the most beautiful in the entire Blue Wind Empire, Yun Che would confidently agree without any dispute. The girl was only 16 years old, and her maturity had not yet reached its peak. After she matures, her beauty might become something the world has never seen before.

"You're not as rumored, but you've exceeded my expectations," Xia Qingyue got up from the bed and approached Yun Che, then said.

"The rumors say your veins are shattered, and you can only reach the first level of the Profound Beginner Realm. That's why you have a fragile body and little confidence in yourself, never leaving your home. Your friends are your little aunt and my younger brother. The only thing considered an advantage is your handsome appearance... Your profound energy aura is very weak and only at the first level of the Profound Beginner Realm, and your profound veins are shattered as well. But your personality is entirely different from the rumors," Xia Qingyue stopped in front of Yun Che, with only three steps separating them.

'For the first part, she's indeed correct. Yun Che is weak, and his confidence is almost nonexistent. But all of this changed with his revival. Though he's still physically disabled, his aura and personality have changed, which is easily noticeable for someone like her. But... it seems she doesn't know anything about his revival. Here lies the real mystery. Yun Che was revived today, and Xia Qingyue also appeared today. There's a connection between them. But now I can deny the fact that Xia Qingyue is the one controlling things behind the scenes. She's just a pawn for the real master,' at this moment, Yagami watched closely and analyzed every detail possible.

"Though your veins are shattered, it's an absolute truth, but your personality and mental state have succeeded in deceiving everyone, including me," Xia Qingyue spoke again while continuing to gaze at Yun Che.

At this moment, Yun Che was completely stunned.

If Xia Qingyue was near another person, that person would be drowning in happiness, admiring her beautiful features. However, Yun Che didn't care at all because everything she said about him was true. Her only mistake was thinking he was hiding his true personality. His current personality and mental state wouldn't be achieved overnight, so Xia Qingyue assumed he was hiding it from everyone all along.

Yun Che was one of the leaders in the Azure Cloud Continent, achieving that at the age of 23. No one from the Blue Wind Empire could compare to the legendary warlords and kings he fought in his previous life, not even the current Yagami. Despite losing his strength since then, his mental state and personality remained the same. That's why he concealed his anger and pride because his weakness and current state didn't allow him to act as he pleased.

'Is she really just 16 years old? How can she possess such intelligence and wisdom at such a young age?' Yun Che wondered to himself.

Xia Qingyue's eyes narrowed slightly. Then she raised her right hand, placed two fingers on Yun Che's chest, and suddenly, a cold aura entered his chest and spread throughout his body. Just as Yun Che was about to ask what she was doing, the cold aura disappeared from his body, and Xia Qingyue opened her eyes and said, "Your profound veins are indeed shattered, but that's not something you were born with. Most likely, you were attacked when you were born, and that attack shattered your profound veins!"

"Was I attacked?" Yun Che's face became grim. Since he was a child, everyone said he was born with shattered veins, and even he believed it completely. But after receiving memories from a legendary doctor from the Azure Cloud Continent, he discovered he wasn't born like this but rather shattered when he was young. Now, Xia Qingyue confirmed his suspicions.

'No one from the Xiao clan was able to discover this, but this girl figured it out in just a few seconds,' Xia Qingyue surprised Yun Che time and time again.

"The cold power you used earlier, what was that? I've never heard of anyone from our city using that kind of power. Isn't your teacher from outside the city?" Yun Che asked her.

"That was the Frozen Cloud Arts," Xia Qingyue said calmly.

"The Frozen Cloud Arts?? The Frozen Cloud Paradise!!!!!" Yun Che's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed loudly.

"My teacher is a member of the Frozen Cloud Paradise, so I can be considered a member too. Only my father and you know about this, and the reason I'm telling you is because you're my husband, and this is my way of showing respect to you."

'Damn, I've become stupid because of this damn girl. How can she become a member of the Frozen Cloud Paradise on the first day and appear out of nowhere???' Yagami was on the brink of madness due to the mystery behind Xia Qingyue.

The Frozen Cloud Paradise was one of the four strongest sects within the entire Blue Wind Empire. It was a place everyone dreamed of joining, and even the royal family treated them with utmost respect.

Among the seven empires on the face of the Profuond Sky Continent, the Blue Wind Empire was the smallest and weakest. However, there were no attempts of invasion by the other empires, mainly due to the presence of the four major sects.

There was no doubt about the power of the four major sects, and their tests for accepting new disciples were extremely rigorous. The most important thing to them was talent. Everyone living in the Blue Wind Empire dreamed of joining one of the four sects, and even the servants there were respected by everyone.

No one from the Floating Cloud City had been accepted by any of the four sects because of the city's weakness. Yun Che wasn't prepared to hear any of the names of the four sects upon arriving in this world, and what he least expected was that the girl he married was a member of the Frozen Cloud Paradise, the second strongest sect directly after the Sword Palace.

"Thank you for telling me that," after Yun Che thanked her, her tone changed, and she said, "Can you tell me your true strength level?"

Reaching level 10 of the Profound Beginner Realm at the age of 16 would be considered genius in the Floating Cloud City. But with a talent like hers, she wouldn't even be fit to be a servant within the Frozen Cloud Paradise, so Yun Che was sure her strength was much greater than that.

Xia Qingyue didn't answer him, but her silence was enough confirmation for Yun Che.

As time passed, Yun Che left the room. It was time for the elite gathering for his wedding, a tradition of the Blue Wind Empire.

At this moment, Yagami thought the show was over and he had gathered enough information. Then suddenly, he felt a strong aura, something no one in the city could pinpoint the source of, but Yagami was much stronger than that, so he was able to detect an aura from the Profound Sky Realm inside Yun Che's wedding room.
