Chapter: 112

"Wife, are you still mad about it?" Sheepishly rubbing the back of his head, Yun Che looked at Qingyue and inquired.

Since last night, he had noticed that Qingyue's mood seemed quite low. And he did not need someone else to tell him the reason why.

But then again, in his defense, it was she who gave permission first. So he was the victim here.

"Qingyue doesn't know what Husband is talking about," she replied, not even looking at him, staring at Asgard with a monotonous expression.

"Then why aren't you looking here?"

"Does Qingyue need to stare at Husband all the time?"

"If you can, yes, I don't mind at all," replied Yun Che with absolute shamelessness.

Who wouldn't want a beautiful woman to always have him in her eyes? Especially if the said woman's beauty couldn't even be put into words.

"... As Qingyue said, she is not mad."

"Alright, are you jealous then?" Her eyes trembled slightly, enough for Yun Che to know the answer. This brought a smirk to his face. "How about it then? Tonight, it's only you and me, and no one else?"

Yun Che silently stared at Qingyue's face as it slowly took on a shade of red, her breathing turning slightly uneven, causing her ample bosom to heave up and down, instantly stealing Yun Che's attention.

"... Promise?"

His lips curled up before his hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He lifted her chin before leaning down and sealing her puffy red lips.

"Promise. Tonight, this Yun Che is reserved for his wife."

"Good." Qingyue nodded before she avoided staring into Yun Che's face with her misty eyes, silently burying her face into his chest.

They stayed like this for some time before Yun Che sensed the presence of people, and soon saw Yuechan as she returned to him, followed by two middle-aged women and six other young girls, each one's beauty enough to make any man lose his sanity.

The middle-aged woman just behind Yuechan, Yun Che saw her expression stiffen before turning ugly and slightly angry when her eyes landed on him and Qingyue.

He instantly understood who she was—Gong Yuxian, the Asgard Mistress.

While the reaction of the other middle-aged women was milder, though similar to Gong Yuxian, it turned into one of acceptance and resignation.

"Qingyue, what are you doing?" A frosty voice came from Gong Yuxian's mouth, directed towards Qingyue, who instantly snapped out of her trance. Realizing that the Asgard Mistress and Grand Mistress had appeared, she wanted to push Yun Che but realized that she couldn't; he had firmly gripped her waist, not letting her go.

"Husband..." She looked at Yun Che with pleading eyes, only to be met with a slightly annoyed gaze.

"What? You are my wife. Can't I hug my wife now?"

"But—"

"Qingyue." Yun Che cut her off and stared directly into her eyes before firmly stating, "Do you think I care about the feelings of some petty woman who gets angry seeing a wife hugging her husband? Besides, I am stronger than her. So she can go suck my ass for all I care."

"You!"

He did not lower his voice when he said it, so it was easily heard by everyone.

Gong Yuxian glared at him as if wanting to eat him alive.

"Yuxian, calm down," the other middle-aged woman suddenly said, causing Gong Yuxian to take a deep breath. But the eyes with which she looked at Yun Che remained anything but kind.

"I am Feng Qianhui, Grand Mistress. It should be our first time meeting each other, Yun Che."

Ignoring Gong Yuxian, Yun Che looked towards Feng Qianhui up and down before nodding.

"That's right. I wanted to visit your place after the ranking tournament, but as you can tell, some bugs happened to cause trouble for me. So I went to clear it first."

"..." Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui had their tongues tied firmly. They wanted to say that the bugs he was talking about were the other two remaining major sects, but they decided not to. It was better to not bring this matter up.

"On the other hand, you guys should be happy now. With the other three major sects being wiped away by me, you guys now have a monopoly over most cultivation resources."

"...We don't dare." Knowing full well that it was a trap, Feng Qianhui hurriedly denied him. Cang Yue's and Yun Che's relationship was not a hidden matter, and every single living person within the Blue Wind Empire knew about it now. Admitting to what Yun Che said was the same as admitting that they did not put the Royal Family in their eyes.

Feng Qianhui would rather not take the chance of offending a monster like Yun Che.

"Good choice. At least you people have a working brain compared to others from the Heavenly Burning Sect and Xiao Sect." Yun Che smiled, seeing Gong Yuxian's annoyed face. "Their greed blinded them; look at them now, nothing but a pile of bones to be buried underground."

A small silence descended between the two parties before Feng Qianhui finally broke the silence.

"Then can we ask why you have visited our sect today? Yuechan said that you have something important to discuss with us," she asked, giving Qingyue a fleeting glance. "Is it about Qingyue and your relationship with her?"

"Something along those lines." Yun Che did not deny it but instead asked a question. "What is your stance on all this demon bullshit and sacred grounds issuing my arrest warrant?"

"We have nothing to do with matters unrelated to our Asgard." It was Gong Yuxian who replied without batting an eye. "What is happening is between you and the sacred grounds; Asgard has nothing to do with it."

"Is it?" Yun Che smiled before he ran his hand through Qingyue's smooth and lustrous hair, causing her body to shudder with embarrassment. He did not care though; he enjoyed such expressions from her; she rarely showed any expression after all. "But Qingyue and I are in a husband-wife relationship. Do you think the Sacred Grounds would leave your sect alone knowing this?"

Gong Yuxian's and Feng Qianhui's expressions soured instantly.

They knew Yun Che was right.

After all, the order was not only to capture Yun Che and his grandfather but every single person involved with them, which included his wife.

This was also the reason why Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui had decided to shut down the doors of Asgard and banned disciples from leaving it. To them, it was the coming of the Thousand Years Calamity talked about by their founder!

But now, hearing what Yun Che said, they knew that running away was impossible. It was either they abandoned Qingyue or faced the Sacred Ground with Yun Che; they wanted none of them.

"Well, no need to be so optimistic. That is why I am here." Yun Che chuckled, seeing the grave and terrified expression of Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui. He found it entertaining playing with their emotions. He realized he was turning more and more into a scam with each passing day, not that he cared.

"First of all, I shall make some things clear so we have a clear understanding of my purpose and the reason why I am here," he looked towards Yuechan, who instantly understood and flew by his side. His hand left Qingyue before circling around the stunned and blushing Yuechan, pulling her closer to him, completely ignoring the terrified and stunned gazes of everyone. "Yuechan and I love each other. In fact…"

He raised his hand as an ice lotus formed above it, causing a terrified expression to form over Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui's faces.

Seeing this, he smirked and added, "Your little secret is not a secret anymore... not that it was to begin with."

"Yuechan... you…" Gong Yuxian was stumped for words. She did not know what to say anymore as her mind had gone completely blank. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that Yuechan would engage in a relationship with a man, ever!

"Asgard Mistress..."

"Silence!" Finally understanding the situation, Gong Yuxian's face was livid with anger as she glared at Yuechan. "Yuechan... Is this how you treat me after what I have done for you all this time? By engaging in forbidden acts? By breaking the very core principles of our Asgard? Are you that ungrateful—"

"Alright, calm down, woman. It's not like she did it on purpose. And stop talking like you have never fallen in love before."

"Yun Che, you—"

"Did I stutter when I said, 'shut up'?"

"Ah!" Gong Yuxian suddenly felt a big lump forming in her throat, making it impossible for her to utter even a single word. Fear rose within her heart as she stared at the silhouette of a massive dragon forming behind Yun Che, causing her body to shake uncontrollably with fear.

"Yun Che!" Seeing this, Yuechan quickly looked towards Yun Che with a pleading gaze, causing him to sigh before recalling the Dragon God Domain.

"As I have said, it was not Yuechan, but me. So you don't need to blame her for it. There were circumstances, or she would never betray someone who she treated like her mother."

Ignoring Gong Yuxian's scared panting, Yun Che continued.

"And the fact that I did not reveal the secret of your Asgard to the world should be enough to show my sincerity towards you all. But, then again, I don't like free stuff. And that is the reason why I am here."

He stared towards Feng Qianhui before saying, "First, I will open all fifty-four profound entrances of every single disciple of Asgard, giving each one a Heavenly God Spiritual Vein and a chance to reach the Divine Realm, the realm above the Sovereign Realm."

"Is such a thing possible?!" Feng Qianhui cried out loudly in astonishment, but Yun Che ignored her and continued.

"Second, I will make it so that every Frozen Fairy, which includes seven, is able to learn the Frozen End Divine Arts. Don't ask me how I know it, just remember, I know things you are unaware of."

"Third, I will create a Profound Gathering Formation below your Asgard which would allow the disciples to train faster than before. And fourth, I will boost the strength of anyone who has reached the Emperor Realm to the Tyrant Profound Realm instantly. Though I cannot do the last one yet, I will be able to do it in the future."

He stared at the disbelieving and blank faces of everyone with a smirk.

"These are my dowry for the hand of Yuechan in marriage. I hope you like it, mother-in-law."
