# Chapter 1418: The Uninvited Guest
Yin Xue Realm, Ice Phoenix Temple.
When he said twelve hours, it was truly twelve hours. Once the confinement period ended, the barrier sealing Yun Che vanished instantly. Yun Che raised his head and saw Mu Xuanyin standing before him, her gaze as icy as before.
It seemed she had never left during those twelve hours.
"Master..." Yun Che shifted from a sitting position to kneeling.
"I can allow you to go to Minghan Heavenly Lake, and I can also stop forcing you to return to the lower realm."
Mu Xuanyin's words left Yun Che stunned... During these twelve hours, Mu Xuanyin's thoughts had been far more complicated and chaotic than his own. The main reason for such a drastic change in her attitude was Mu Bingyun's words.
"However, you must promise me one thing!"
Yun Che lowered his head and said earnestly: "I promise Master that from now on, I will obediently listen to Master's words."
"Hmph," Mu Xuanyin snorted coldly: "Those are the least trustworthy words in this world!"
"..." Yun Che had nothing to say.
"Remember this well," Mu Xuanyin's voice suddenly became especially low: "From now on, no matter when, no matter where, no matter before whom, or under what circumstances, you are absolutely forbidden to ever use... Dark Profound Force!"
"...!!" The last four words exploded like thunder in Yun Che's ears. He jerked his head up, his face full of shock.
In today's god realm, compared to the Evil God's Mysterious Vein or the Heavenly Poison Pearl, the Dark Profound Force within him was his greatest and most unexposable secret.
He had understood this point long ago.
Similar words, Mo Li had also spoken to him more than once.
But how could she...
Seeing Yun Che's utterly horrified expression, Mu Xuanyin said coldly: "Surprised that I know? You should ask yourself that question! If you hadn't actively released Dark Profound Force, this secret of yours would never have been exposed. But unfortunately, you always think you're clever and act arrogantly!"
"..." Yun Che remained in shock.
Although Dark Profound Force had always existed within him, he had used it extremely, extremely rarely. In these past few years, the only time he had used it was beneath the Jueyun Abyss, when he released Dark Profound Force to seal the barrier of the dark world.
Could it be...
"Do you know what would happen to you if someone other than me had discovered this secret of yours?" Mu Xuanyin's voice grew even colder, piercing into Yun Che's heart like ice needles: "In the god realm, demon people are heretics that heaven and earth cannot tolerate! And possessing Dark Profound Force is the symbol of a demon people! Once exposed, anyone in this world can kill you, and even should kill you!"
"Even Bingyun, who has always cared most about you, would surely take your life!"
"Other than fleeing to the Northern Divine Realm, you will never have a place to rest!"
"Not just you, but your family, your clan, your sect, the star realm you belong to... everyone related to you will be implicated. Anyone who dares to approach you or protect you will become an enemy of the entire world!"
"Mistakes can be corrected, evil can be washed away, sins can be atoned for, but once the brand of demon is stamped, you will be seen as a demon by the world for all eternity, never able to turn things around! Do... you... understand!"
Mu Xuanyin's words grew heavier and colder with each syllable. Although Yun Che had long known this... back in the Feng Shen Battle, the fate of Wei Hen and the reactions of the various realms had clearly told him what "demon people" meant in the god realm, listening to Mu Xuanyin's words still made his whole body turn cold, with sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Yes, if it had been anyone other than Mu Xuanyin who discovered this secret...
Then what he would lose would not only be himself, but everyone related to him... even the entire Lan Ji Star!
"Master," Yun Che raised his head and said in a very soft voice: "Do you... not hate demon people?"
A wisp of wind mixed with snow and ice drifted into the hall, stirring Mu Xuanyin's ice-blue hair. In her icy pupils, a shade of dimness appeared that Yun Che could never understand. She did not answer Yun Che, but said in a deep voice: "Starting today, you must forever forget that you are a demon... Can you do that?"
Yun Che straightened his upper body, looked directly at Mu Xuanyin, and said with absolute certainty: "Disciple Yun Che hereby swears that from now on, no matter when or where, whether in life or death, I will never use Dark Profound Force. If I break this oath..."
"Good!" Mu Xuanyin's icy word cut off his latter half: "Back then in the Star God Realm, even at the point of death, you did not use Dark Profound Force, showing that you clearly understood the consequences of exposure. I will tentatively believe this guarantee of yours. But there's no need for a poisonous oath, because that is the most useless thing in the world!"
"...Yes, disciple will remember every one of Master's teachings."
If Xiao Yaohou, Feng Xue'er and the others from Lan Ji Star saw Yun Che being so obedient, they wouldn't know how shocked they'd be.
"Disciple... may I go to Minghan Heavenly Lake now?" Yun Che asked softly. The secret of his Dark Profound Force being directly spoken out by Mu Xuanyin had indeed left him unsettled.
"You may, but not now," Mu Xuanyin said. "Minghan Heavenly Lake has been sealed for many years. It will take some time to reopen it. During this period, you will stay here obediently and not leave half a step!"
She paused slightly, and her voice softened a little: "There are also some matters I must tell you first. But likewise not today... I will speak of them tomorrow."
What she referred to was undoubtedly the matter of the "Evil Infant." Only, she needed time to figure out how to tell Yun Che about these things.
The Eastern Divine Realm of today had already undergone great changes from the Eastern Divine Realm in Yun Che's understanding. And one important reason for this change was Yun Che... though he himself was unaware of it.
Nor could she predict how Yun Che would react once he learned everything.
"Yes, Master," Yun Che said respectfully.
"I will say it once more—do not call me Master!" Mu Xuanyin's tone turned cold again: "From the moment you perished in the Star God Realm back then, you were no longer a disciple of mine, Mu Xuanyin. My current disciple is only Feixue."
"..." Yun Che's expression darkened as he said softly: "In disciple's heart, you will always be disciple's master."
"Hmph!" Mu Xuanyin gave a cold snort. Just as she was about to list various charges of his "disobedience," suddenly, a strange blue light appeared in her ice pupils.
As this blue light emerged, the chill in her beautiful eyes silently transformed into a misty haze of allure.
She turned around and spoke softly: "Che'er, do you really wish so much for me to be your master?"
Mu Xuanyin's cold snort made Yun Che's whole body tense, ready to receive a reprimand. But... what then entered his ears was actually a faint, lingering sound, as if weeping and telling. He raised his head in shock, his vision filled with a face of enchanting beauty, and the lips that produced the sound were like budding blossoms, delicate and seductive, seeming to smile without smiling.
The eyes looking at him no longer held any of the earlier coldness, but were misty and hazy, as if overflowing with rippling waves.
Yun Che's eyes widened...
Normally, Yun Che held very deep reverence before Mu Xuanyin... a reverence that dared not look directly. But looking at her now, the same face, the same white robes, the same figure, yet her curves had inexplicably become incredibly alluring, making his blood race. Every part of her body, every inch of skin was releasing a fatal charm like a demon or enchantress, and even her eyes, which just a moment ago had frozen all living things, had become so soul-stealing... making him instantly dry-mouthed and his heart race.
His gaze fixed on Mu Xuanyin for several breaths, his whole body's blood uncontrollably surging with heat... Suddenly, he shuddered all over, finally coming back to his senses. He swiftly lowered his head, groaning inwardly... She had become... "that way" again...
"Do you... really wish for me to be your master forever?" Facing the flustered Yun Che whose head was bowed, she asked again. The same question, but her voice had grown even softer, leaving half of Yun Che's body numb.
He dared not raise his head, and said with some difficulty: "Master... will always be disciple's master."
"Oh? Is that so?" She stepped forward, walking slowly closer. What approached Yun Che was not a chill that froze everything, but a fragrant wind that seeped into the soul.
Standing before Yun Che, her lips lightly pressed: "Back then in the Flame God Realm, you played and defiled my body for a whole day and night, covering me all over with your scent... At that time, why didn't you treat me as your master?"
"~!@#$%^..." The voice so close was soft and languid, stirring the soul like a bedchamber's complaint. And her words made Yun Che's mind buzz with confusion, at a loss.
The great mistake in the Flame God Realm back then had also been "out of necessity" for Yun Che. After Mu Xuanyin captured him, she never brought it up, and he had never mentioned half a word of it either. Both parties had only acted as if it had never happened.
But now, she had suddenly brought it up on her own, and her wording was... so explicit that even Yun Che found it hard to bear.
Seeing Yun Che's obvious bewilderment, the curve of Mu Xuanyin's lips grew even more seductive. She slowly lowered herself, her jade face approaching Yun Che's ear. Her tender flower-like lips almost touched Yun Che's cheek as she parted them, exuding an intoxicating fragrance: "In these years in the lower realm, you and your wives and concubines indulged in passion day and night, debauched beyond measure. So why have you turned into such a coward before me? Do I make you that afraid? Where has the courage you had in the Flame God Realm gone?"
"..." Yun Che stared blankly. He had barely heard a single word of Mu Xuanyin's whisper. Because as her body leaned down, the white fabric of her chest naturally fell... Two overly plump, soft, snowy mounds, creating a deep, soul-crushing, bone-melting valley... completely filling Yun Che's line of sight.
As Mu Xuanyin whispered, though it was only a very slight movement, it caused those two overly full and tender snowy mounds to tremble delicately.
All the blood in his body seemed to ignite in an instant, wanton thoughts rising uncontrollably in his heart. But his experience with women was after all quite extensive, and he managed to suppress his thoughts and hands with all his might. Yet his body, due to the struggle of his will, unconsciously lost balance and lurched forward sharply.
Immediately, he felt his entire face buried into a mass of soft, fertile jade-like flesh, his features sinking deeply in... At that moment, he felt his will fly away, and all strength was drained from his body, leaving him as soft and languid as if in paradise.
Mu Xuanyin's body stiffened, her beautiful eyes fixed, then slowly narrowed, a dangerous, seductive light flickering within.
"Che'er," she did not immediately push Yun Che away, but lightly pressed a jade finger to his chest: "It seems I may have underestimated your courage indeed..."
Boom——————
The soft words, like a dream, lingered in the ear, but at this moment, a sudden, huge roar rang out.
A low, cold woman's voice filled with resentment also came from a distant space: "Yun Che, you brat, get out here and die!"
"..." Mu Xuanyin's movements halted, and the seductive light in her eyes instantly transformed into a chill more piercing than an ice prison... and killing intent.
