"Young noble, I saw people from Blue Wind Profound Pace earlier. Would you mind if I meet them?" g Yue asked Yun Wuji as they walked back to their residence.

  "Of course, you . Iure, you don't o ask my permission for things like this," Yun Wuji replied. Though she called herself his 'maid,' he never saw her as a servant. In his mind, she was just pying around, aually, she'd stop pretending to be a maid.

  "Hmm, thank you, young noble," g Yung nodded cheerfully a.

  The Blue Wind Profound Pace's temporary residence was a courtyard with eight separate rooms, a pavilion, a pond, and a small on rack.

  This was the standard aodation Heavenly Sword Vil provided for each participating team.

  "Yhness!" As soon as g Yue ehe courtyard, Pace Chief Dongfang Xiu greeted her with a deep bow. Normally, Dongfang Xiu wouldn't bow to anyone in the royal family except the emperor. However, seeing g Yue follow Yun Wuji like a humble servant earlier filled him with guilt, it was his failure that forced her to endure su injustice.

  If he hadn't ignorantly offended Yun Wuji, the princess wouldn't have been forced into the role of a lowly maid.

  Dongfang Xiu was incredibly loyal to the royal family, so even though he knew Yun Wuji was a terrifying expert, someone he couldn't hope to challenge even with ten thousand of himself, he still couldn't accept that g Yue had bee his maid.

  "Greetings thness, the Princess!" Behind Dongfang Xiu stood the other members of the Profound Pace: four proud-looking youngsters, Vice Pace Chief Qin Wushang, and two elders.

  The proud youngsters were the top geniuses of the Profound Pace. Three of them, all 20 years old, were this year's tour partits, though two had already been elimioday. The fourth, a 17-year-old, wasn't participating this time. Dongfang Xiu had brought him along to experiehe tour and prepare for the petition three years ter.

  Although two of them lost in their first battle, they still held their heads high in front of the princess. This level of 'fidence' was quite admirable.

  "Hmm," g Yue nodded casually, she didn't spare these 'geniuses' more than a gnce. In the past, she might have spent some time encing them, but after witnessing their performances in the arena and seeing their proud expressions now, she felt disappointed in them.

  After spending time with Yun Wuji and his panions, g Yue's standards for people had risen. Now, in her eyes, these youngsters were nothing but trash, and their proud attitude despite their ckluster performances made her opinion of them plummet.

  The people from the Profound Pace were quite curious about why g Yue was with the Frozen Cloud's group, but Dongfang Xiu politely told them fuck off. "You go rest; I o talk with the princess."

  "Yes! Pace Chief!" They didn't dare to disobey him and, after bowing, quickly left. pared to the princess, they obviously held much more respect for Half-Step Emperor Profound Dongfang Xiu.

  "Yhness..." After they were alone, Dongfang Xiu hesitated before speaking.

  "Let's talk while we walk," g Yue interrupted him, moving ahead.

  "...alright," Dongfang Xiu nodded and walked beside her.

  "Princess, how have you been during this time? Did you suffer any grievances?" he asked as they walked.

  "No, the young noble is an easygoing person. He's very kind to me and reats me harshly. The people around him are also easy to get along with," g Yue replied, knowing what he was worried about. A smile appeared on her face as she recalled her time with Yun Wuji and the others.

  "Really?" Dongfang Xiu asked in disbelief, somewhat doubtful. Yun Wuji was easygoing? This was a man who nearly killed someone just for looking at his woman!

  In Dongfang Xiu's eyes, Yun Wuji had a wild and overbearing temperament, someone who could easily beat or kill anyone over the slightest grievance.

  "Hmm, why would I lie to you? The young noble cherishes the people around him and dislikes those who betray him," g Yue paused to look at Dongfang Xiu. "Though your as at that time 't be sidered betrayal, they still incurred his ire."

  "Yes, it's my fault; I was shhted," Dongfang Xiu lowered his head, admitting his mistake.

  "Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Royal Father?" g Yue didn't want to dwell on this and asked about her father.

  "His Majesty's health is still deteriorating, but he's been doing well retly. He's worried about you; it would be great if you could return to the pad see him," Dongfang Xiu replied.

  "Hmm, I'll ask the young er, if I ," g Yue remained silent for a moment before replying; she also missed her father.

  "..." Looking at g Yue, Dongfang Xiu felt that she had ged over this period of time, as for whether it was a good or bad thing, he didn't know.

  After that, they strolled around the courtyard, exging words as they went. g Yue learned about the current state of affairs in the Capital, listening closely to updates. Dongfang Xiu also told her about her disappointing brothers's as as well.

  "Uncle Xiu, it's already te; I o return," g Yue said, suddenly taking out a small bottle. "This is a pill that the young noble gave me." She hahe bottle to him.

  "This?" Dongfang Xiu took the bottle. From its appeara seemed to tain some type of pills, but he didn't know whies.

  "This is a pill that increase the ces of breaking through to the Profound Emperor Realm by 40%," g Yue expined. "Uncle, you are already a Half-Step Emperor Profound; if you use this pill, there's a high ce you break through and bee a Throne."

  "...Is...is this true?!" Dongfang Xiu suddenly felt the bottle in his hand bee heavy. He held it with both hands, pulling it closer to his chest, and asked in aed voice.

  Throhat was the dream for all profound practitioners iire empire. Only the freat sects held Thrones, and reag this realm not only granted immense porestige but also signifitly extended one's lifespan. A Throurally enjoyed a lifespan of 500 years!

  No one would dislike living a long life!

  "Of course it is. The young noble is a genius with almost frightening talent. He has many mystical means, and this pill is nothing to him," g Yue procimed proudly, her expression as if she were speaking about herself.

  "...Sigh, they grow up quickly," Dongfang Xiu muttered, looking at g Yue's proud expression. He finally felt relieved, though a sense of loss lingered, like watg his daughter get married.

  'But why is the genius only almost frightening and not pletely frightening?' he wondered, watg her leave.

  ...

  At the same time, Yun Wuji was taking a walk with Xia Qingyue. "Master, you know where my mother is?!" she asked, her eyes wide in surprise.

  Yun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, I have a special ability that help me know a few things, but you must keep it a secret between us, okay?"

  He had used this lie before to trick the Dragon God's spirit and Phoenix's spirit, so he figured he might as well use it to expin his knowledge now.

  Who knows, maybe iure he would actually have this ability.

  "Hmm, Master, Qingyue will ell anyone else, even if I die!" Xia Qingyue's hand, which was holding Yun Wuji's, tightened as she nodded firmly.

  "Haha! I know that little Qingyue is the most obedient." He ughed at her serious rea and patted her head.

  "Hmph! I am not little." She puffed her cheeks and held her chest with her hands, emphasizing that she wasn't small pared to those her age.

  "I am talking about ye! When did your mind bee dirty?!" Yun Wuji knocked her head.

  "Ouch!" Xia Qingyue held her head and pouted.

  Looking at the cute Qingyue, Yun Wuji couldn't help but feel sad for her. When he read the novel, he thought she was the most pitiful person ience.

  She spent her whole life living for others, p all her effort into cultivation to find her mother. When her mother died, she dedicated her life to helping Yun Che. She truly lived for others, and it only became worse when she went to the Abyss; her dedication to her foster mother was dht creepy!

  Saying something like, "There is no greater crime to me than disappointing you, Mother. I will suffer ten thousand times the punishment if I fail you!"

  This clearly illustrated her fanaticism.

  Every a she took was for others; perhaps the only a that was truly for herself was when she itted suicide by jumping into the Abyss of Nothingness, though she ultimately failed in the end.

  The sad part was that everything she had strived for was either dead or destroyed. Her biological father was gone, and her mother had died as well. The Moon God Realm, which she had promised her parents to protect, was obliterated. To add to her sorrow, she had even failed to take revenge on Qianye Ying'er.

  Right now, she was treating Yun Wuji the same way; he was her master and treated her very well, and he was also her only link to the Realm of the Gods. Initially, she only respected him as a master, but as she spent more time with him, her emotions started to ge from admiration to something deeper.

  "Let's talk about your mother," Yun Wuji said, stopping the teasing.

  "Ah! Yes!" Wheopic turo her mother, Xia Qiopped pying around and focused her attention on what he was going to say.

  "After using my ability, I learhat your mother is in the Moon God Realm," Yun Wuji said slowly, his gaze fixed on the moon hanging in the sky.

  "Moon God Realm?" Xia Qingyue followed his gaze, staring at the moon. She knew nothing about the Realm of Gods, so she didn't uand what this name signified.

  "The Realm of Gods is a higher pne, incredibly vast and divided into fions. Each region tains thousands of Star Realms, which are further ranked as Low-Rank, Middle-Rank, High-Rank, and King-Rank Star Realms. The Moon God Realm is a King Realm, one of only four in the Eastern Divine Region," Yun Wuji expined.

  "People in the Realm of Gods are incredibly strong. To put things into perspective, the stro recorded person in the history of this p was at the Divine in Realm, known as the Profound God Realm here. They're sidered nothing but mediocre weaklings in the Low-Rank Star Realm."

  "The people in the Realm of Gods are s!" Xia Qingyue excimed, her small mouth opening wide in shock. The stro person she had ever seen was her master, who was only as powerful as the Sn Profound Realm.

  Although Yun Wuji had already mentioned previously that people there were super strong, now that he expi more clearly, she couldn't imagine how grand that pce was. It was like suddenly telling someone oh that there was a Gactic human civilization that spanned millions of gaxies.

  "Yep, they are very strong; there are people who are strong enough to destroy this whole p with a simple sneeze," Yun Wuji nodded and said.

  "Impossible! There are people with such terrifying strength?!" Xia Qingyue excimed with an incredulous tone.

  "Of course, there are many of them!" Yun Wuji said. "The Moon God Realm has dozens of them as well."

  "Does that mean that I 't see my mother?" Hearing what he said, Xia Qingyue felt the pressure on her shoulders increasing. She was already doing her best to raise her strength, but after hearing Yun Wuji, she felt that her effort was meaningless.

  "Don't worry, there is a way to meet your mother," Seeing her sulking, Yun Wuji patted her head and said.

  "Really?" Xia Qingyue looked at him doubtfully.

  Yun Wuji was offended by her doubt and knocked her head lightly, "Of course! Otherwise, why did you think I shared this information with you? I already have a pn."

  "Ouch!" Xia Qingyue held her head, with small tears in her eyes.

  "Alright, listen to my pn," Yun Wuji rubbed her head and began to expin his pn to her.

  He looked around, then he lowered his voice so that the readers couldn't hear him.

  -----

  Storytime! I heard about this and just had to share it with you all.

  This is a 100% true story!

  A woman was cheating on her husband with a guy. And that had an NTR fetish, which isn't surprising. However, the strange part was that the guy liked to have sex with her right o her husband. So, the woman regurly put sleeping drugs in her husband's food, and once he was out cold, the guy would e over and sleep with her right beside him.

  Up until now, this whole situation is stra not pletely eous.

  The eous part is that, over time, the guy wasn't satisfied with just sleeping with the womao her husband. He started wanting to fuck the husband too.

  Yep, you read that right! He wao fuck both the husband and the wife.

  , with the wife's help, the guy started having sex with both her and the husband. Every time the husband woke up, he felt pain in his ass. At first, he thought it was hemorrhoids, but after seeing a doctor, he got a surprise.

  The doctor asked if he was in a retionship with another man. The husband de, saying he was straight as steel and didn't swing that way. However, the doctor told him, "This pain isn't from hemorrhoids, someone's been drilling your hole."

  The husband was shocked by the doctor's words, so he decided to install a camera in the bedroom. When he reviewed the footage, he was horrified to see himself being fucked in the ass.

  He sued both his wife and the man.

  What I wrote above is pretty much what the judge said, and his expression was quite strange, lol.

  The moral of the story is: Don't be too upset if someone drilled your wife, at least they didn't drill your ass too!

  Now that I think about it, being a wyer or judge be fun; you get to see some really strange and funny cases.
