The fragrance was intoxicating, truly delightful.
Despite knowing she shouldn't be disrespectful, her body acted before her mind could catch up. She leaned against Li Shang's shoulder, burying her face in the crook of his neck to inhale the scent.
Afterward, Yun Zhi Yue thought to herself that this was too much. How could one behave like this towards their master? She quickly scrambled to her feet and knelt down, saying, "Master, please forgive me. I had no intention of being disrespectful; I just couldn't help myself."
"Ah, you couldn't help yourself? And yet you have a Dao Companion?" Li Shang asked unexpectedly.
Yun Zhi Yue was taken aback by his question. Knowing that people in the celestial realm often pretended to be serious, she immediately replied earnestly, "No, Master. I have no feelings for any male cultivators and have never considered taking a Dao Companion. My heart is solely focused on cultivation."
Li Shang fell silent for a moment before asking, "Are you certain you have no affection for any male cultivators?"
Yun Zhi Yue looked up in surprise, seemingly unable to understand why Li Shang was pressing this point.
Li Shang fixed his gaze on her and said, "Ben Jun's path is one of slaughter. To cultivate it, one must have a heart free of distractions. Before teaching you, I need to understand your thoughts clearly."
Yun Zhi Yue suddenly realized and quickly responded, "Master, when I was younger, I did indeed have a fondness for the Heavenly Emperor. However, after being cast down and suffering greatly, those feelings have long since faded."
She continued, "Since then, in the underworld, I have not indulged in love or desire; my only focus has been on building my career. You can rest assured, Master; I will never love any man again."
Suddenly, an overwhelming killing intent filled the air. Yun Zhi Yue felt a chill run down her spine; the threat of being crushed at any moment was terrifying. The one lurking at the Wujie Gate was none other than Li Shang.
Uncertain of his intentions and feeling as though she might die at any moment under his piercing gaze, she threw herself into Li Shang's arms in desperation. "Master!"
Yet the pressure did not relent; it bore down on her until her face turned pale and she lost consciousness.
A large hand gripped her delicate neck. Li Shang felt a surge of anger but hesitated to act too harshly. He lowered his head and captured her lips with his own, teasingly entwining their tongues—how could she dare?
After all this time together, he had only received a promise that she would never love another man again. Even though he had anticipated this outcome, hearing such cold words made him want to eliminate the Heavenly Emperor immediately.
He loosened her black dress and sank into softness but stopped short of losing control. He feared his true self; that was why he had nurtured Song Huai. She shouldn't be afraid of him—he needed to wait a little longer.
When Yun Zhi Yue awoke, she found herself in a beautifully adorned room that resembled a small cave dwelling crafted from magical materials.
The bed was made from ten thousand snow pearls and had soul-nurturing properties. The pillow was fashioned from fragrant wood that calmed the mind and settled the spirit.
Even the teacups and decorations were made from warm jade worth thousands—seaweed coral and exquisite pearls adorned every corner of the room, creating an extraordinary atmosphere reminiscent of an underwater palace. It was so beautiful that it brightened her eyes, which had long since lost their youthful sparkle.
The colors inside the room were all light shades of blue, perfectly matching her preferences. Was this to be her future residence? It felt like she was being spoiled beyond measure.
Yun Zhi Yue recalled that before she lost consciousness, Li Shang had seemed a bit off. What was the Emperor thinking? How could she possibly guess?
If he treated her this way, it certainly wasn't out of anger. Feeling quite pleased, she left the room to find her master.
In the chaotic realm of Wujie, there wasn't much to see. The main palace was Li Shang's residence, and at that moment, he was on the highest floor, looking down over Wujie.
Since he did not conceal his aura, the Emperor's presence was naturally strong, making it easy for Yun Zhi Yue to locate him.
From a distance, she cheerfully called out, "Master, will you teach me how to cultivate today?"
Before starting her training, she wanted to wish him a breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm.
Yun Zhi Yue sat beside Li Shang and exclaimed in surprise, "But I'm still lacking in cultivation! I need that core from Suye Emperor to break through; I can't absorb it right now."
"I'll help you with your cultivation. Just focus on your breakthrough," he replied.
Yun Zhi Yue widened her eyes in disbelief. "Master, your cultivation is not easy! Even if you are the Emperor, it still takes time to accumulate your power. Are you really going to give it to me?"
