Chapter: 39

There was deep silence in the central plaza.

No one knew what to say right now.

They could only dumbfoundedly stare at Yun Che with blank expressions.

"Vice Palace Chief." Yun Che bowed towards Wushang and said, "Please judge."

His voice brought Wushang out of his stupor. He hurriedly coughed to hide his embarrassment and loudly said, "The winner of the duel is Yun Che! As per our agreement…" A weird expression appeared on Wushang's face, as he did not know how to proceed. In the end, he just shook his head and continued, "The loser will have to listen to the request of the winner. Once you find Murong Yi and he is healed, let him complete the bet."

Murong Ye had an ugly, stunned expression on his face, but he could only remain quiet and listen.

"As for Yun Che…" Wushang's eyes glinted in deep light, as he thought of something before a smile appeared on his face. "I am impressed by your perseverance and talent. It would be a shame to let you be an outer disciple. As such, from today forward, you will be an inner disciple of my palace."

The central plaza suddenly buzzed with loud noises.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Yun Che became an inner palace disciple directly.

But after thinking for a while, they thought it made sense.

Murong Yi was an inner palace disciple, and he lost to Yun Che. It made sense to put Yun Che in the inner palace instead of the outer palace.

Still, there was little jealousy in their hearts, but they could do nothing about it.

"Additionally, you will replace Murong Yi's rank within the Heavenly Profound List!"

"Waa!" This time, no one could remain quiet, and everyone exclaimed loudly.

Replace a rank on the Heavenly Profound List? They looked at Yun Che with admiration and fear.

Everyone on the Heavenly Profound List was known as a genius in the Blue Wind Empire that even princes invited them to have dinner with them.

Not only that, people from the Heavenly Profound List were respected and feared everywhere.

Yun Che becoming a member of the Heavenly Profound List was normal for everyone to fear and admire him. Soon, his reputation would also blow up. This made everyone sigh. They could only lament at their poor luck.

"This disciple thanks the Vice Palace Chief."

Wushang nodded with a smile.

He thought Yun Che looked more pleasing to his eyes than before.

If nurtured well, he could see his palace entering the top hundred of the Ranking Tournament! This pleased him a lot, making him happy.

"Everyone should disperse then! This duel is over!"

Soon, the whole central plaza was empty. Murong Ye didn't even think of spending another second in Yun Che's presence and ran the moment his cousin was thrown outside of the palace.

With only Yun Che standing on the stage, he looked towards Cang Yue who walked close to him with a gentle smile on her face.

"Congratulations, Brother Yun! Cang Yue had full belief in you."

Her face was full of smiles, happy to see Yun Che win the battle.

"Shouldn't Sister Yue give me a present as a celebration for my victory?" He smiled teasingly and walked closer to her. His hand moved unscrupulously and hugged her. "Maybe sleep tonight with me?"

Of course, he didn't mean it in a bad way. He really wasn't going to touch her if she wasn't willing too. But he really missed her beside him.

Embarrassed, Cang Yue pushed Yun Che before raising her hand and presenting it in front of him.

"This is...?" Yun Che inquired, staring at the pill in her hand.

"This is Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet. Ingesting it will allow Brother Yun to advance one level in a night."

A surprised expression appeared on Yun Che's face.

He knew this pill. With his medical knowledge, it would be a joke if he didn't. But the ingredients and time required for its refinement were not low. Especially since they didn't have a treasure like the poison pearl. Normally, with the resources in this star and empire, he knew it should take them a long time to produce even a single pill. For Cang Yue to come up and present it to him showed how much she cared about him. This made Yun Che smile in embarrassment.

It was common knowledge that everyone who participated in the Ranking Tournament would receive one Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet. But you needed to be in the top three of the Heavenly Ranking List to get it! It was still unknown whether or not Yun Che was able to enter the top of the list. For Cang Yue to get this pellet, even as a princess, he could imagine the work she would have to put in to get it. This obviously made him happy and embarrassed.

Taking the pill, he smiled. "Wouldn't it make me a shameless leecher if I didn't give anything in return?"

He only took a second to think before he put the pill in the Sky Poison Pearl and looked towards Cang Yue gently. "Come here."

Though confused, Cang Yue closed the distance between herself and him. She stood in front of him, her chest only inches away from touching him. She looked at him confused.

"Wouldn't it make me shameless if I didn't give you anything in return?" Pinching her chin, Yun Che softly smiled.

Though her chin was pinched by Yun Che and she felt her cheeks were hot, she still shook her head. "It's my gift for Brother Yun. I'm happy as long as Brother Yun is happy."

Yun Che's eyes became gentler after hearing her. Right now, he didn't regret his choice of following the plot at all. In fact, he thought it was a blessing in disguise. In his previous world, which woman would be so willing for her loved one? He could only shake his head as he couldn't think of any. Of course, he wasn't saying that there were none, but he was sure that there were none who would do so willingly.

"Consider it a dowry then."

Cang Yue's cheeks erupted in deep blush hearing him. Before she could clear her mind and calm down her breathing, Yun Che bent down and sealed her lips. A deep kiss was initiated. As if her body was out of control, Cang Yue helplessly fell into his embrace, letting Yun Che do whatever he wanted with her body.
