# Chapter 1426: Xuanyin and Meiyin
As soon as Yun Che said this, it attracted the attention of everyone present. Mu Xuanyin furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Che'er, this matter has nothing to do with medical arts. You must not speak recklessly."
"Oh?" Zhou Tian Shen Di turned his gaze, chuckling as he said, "To have such a thought is heartening to me, old man. However, the Evil Infant's power is not something you can comprehend. I will find another way on my own."
Yun Che said nothing more. He raised his palm, and a streak of white profound light coalesced in his palm, radiating a holy white and immaculate radiance.
White profound light was the most common sight. Ordinary profound practitioners would have no particular reaction to it. But the six people around Yun Che—two Divine Emperors, two Realm Kings, and two new Divine Lords who had experienced three thousand years in Zhou Tian—when they saw the white profound light, what they sensed was clearly an aura known as "sacred"!
"L-light profound force!?" Shui Qianheng immediately exclaimed in shock.
This time, even Mu Xuanyin and Xia Qingyue's beautiful eyes trembled. Zhou Tian Shen Di's entire body stiffened, then he abruptly raised his head to look at Yun Che, his gaze shifting sharply: "You... this..."
"There are those in this world who possess light profound force besides Senior Shen Xi." Bearing the shocked gazes of all, Yun Che said calmly, "Four years ago, during my stay in the Dragon God Realm, I was taken in by Shen Xi... *ahem* Senior. She said my physique could cultivate light profound force, so she taught me the Light Divine Art."
Xia Qingyue and Mu Xuanyin exchanged glances involuntarily. From each other's surprised and puzzled eyes, they confirmed that the other party had no knowledge of this matter whatsoever.
Mu Xuanyin was a ten-thousand-year Realm King, and Xia Qingyue had inherited the memories and cognition of the previous Moon Shen Di. They were both extremely clear on what concept "light profound force" represented, and were also well aware that the only person in the present world who possessed light profound force was Shen Xi. This was because the conditions for cultivating light profound force were extremely harsh—one needed to possess a pure "Saint Body" or "Saint Heart."
Did Yun Che have any connection at all with either of those!?
"So it's like this..." Zhou Tian Shen Di was shocked—thoroughly shocked. No matter how much he found it hard to believe, the light Yun Che was releasing from his hand was unmistakably genuine light profound force! The uniquely sacred aura it gave off was absolutely impossible to imitate or fake.
Yun Che continued, "Senior Shen Xi has been a benefactor to me, and without her permission, I dare not reveal too much. But if light profound force is truly helpful to you, Senior, I am willing to do my utmost to try."
Shui Qianheng's brows twitched, and he muttered to himself, "This kid... he's simply a freak... and he was actually taken in by Dragon Queen Shen Xi? This... this is simply..."
He didn't even know how to describe the shock in his heart.
For someone like Zhou Tian Shen Di to even get an audience with Dragon Queen Shen Xi was extremely difficult, yet Yun Che... was taken in by her!?
"Hehe," Shui Meiyin was quite pleased. "The man I've set my sights on is naturally the most remarkable in the world."
"..." Shui Qianheng nodded blankly.
Zhou Tian Shen Di stepped forward, directly grabbing Yun Che's arm, and said with great excitement, "Was this truly taught by Dragon Queen Shen Xi?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he knew he had asked a redundant question. As the only person in the world possessing light profound force, Yun Che's light profound force could only have come from Shen Xi.
"Mn." Yun Che nodded. The title "Dragon Queen" felt quite uncomfortable to him now.
Even saying "Senior Shen Xi" himself gave him a rather awkward feeling.
And—even if all the minds of the experts in the Divine Realm were combined, they would never imagine what had happened between him and Shen Xi in the Reincarnation Forbidden Land that year...
Zhou Tian Shen Di tightened his grip slightly, barely able to contain his excitement: "Yun Che, you are truly worthy of being the miracle of our Eastern Divine Region. Our Eastern Divine Region has finally produced a person who possesses light profound force!"
"To cultivate light profound force, one needs a Saint Body or a Saint Heart. Your physique, though unusual, does not have the sacred and immaculate aura of Dragon Queen Shen Xi, so it naturally cannot be a Saint Body. From this, it can be inferred that you possess a 'Saint Heart'." Zhou Tian Shen Di looked at him with aged eyes, his voice full of admiration: "One with a Saint Heart has an immaculate soul, pities the world, cherishes all living beings, does not stain themselves with sin, and does not sink into the six desires... For you to have both astonishing talent and a compassionate Saint Heart is truly the great fortune of our Eastern Divine Region."
Mu Xuanyin: "..."
Xia Qingyue: "..."
Shui Meiyin: "..."
Yun Che: "~！#￥%..." (Who the hell is he talking about?)
"*Ahem... ahem...*" Yun Che's face reddened, his hand trembling slightly as he quickly said, "Senior flatters me too much; I truly dare not accept such praise. Though I can wield light profound force, my cultivation is still shallow and I cannot guarantee success—I can only do my utmost. If Senior does not mind, I can attempt to help you right now."
"Good." Zhou Tian Shen Di did not refuse, nodding with a pleased expression. His originally grayish face even flushed with a layer of excited red.
To him, the emergence of a light profound practitioner in the Eastern Divine Region was a hundred times more gratifying than the possibility of dispelling his dark profound force.
"In that case, please move to the Ice Phoenix Palace, Zhou Tian Shen Di. I will personally stand guard." Mu Xuanyin immediately said. As her words fell, she had already transmitted a message to Mu Bingyun.
Yun Che and Zhou Tian Shen Di entered the Ice Phoenix Palace, and Mu Xuanyin personally set up an ice barrier.
As for how to dispel the dark demonic miasma within Zhou Tian Shen Di's body, Yun Che might not know, but Zhou Tian Shen Di would guide him.
Revealing a major secret would invite covetousness. But revealing light profound force was a completely different concept. It would shake the Divine Realm and draw attention, but it wouldn't attract greedy covetousness like the Evil God's divine power or the Heavenly Poison Pearl, because this was something that couldn't be taken away. On the contrary, it would make countless people indebted to him.
Just like today—he could make Zhou Tian Shen Di owe him a very substantial favor.
The barrier was completed. Mu Xuanyin teleported and came before Shui Qianheng and his daughter, saying, "Realm King Liuguang and the little princess have come to Yin Xue for my sake. Xuanyin is deeply grateful. Since it is your first visit, you might as well stay for a few more days. I believe the scenery of Yin Xue will not disappoint you."
Shui Qianheng smiled faintly, saying, "To have the honor of witnessing the grace of Yin Xue Realm King, I am already more than satisfied. I dare not impose further. However..."
"Realm King Liuguang, if you have any instructions, please speak frankly."
"I wouldn't dare to give instructions. It's just..." He glanced at his youngest daughter beside him and said, "Yin Xue Realm King did not come to Zhou Tian back then, but you should have heard about it—during the Conferred God Battle, my daughter and Yun Che became bound by battle and developed mutual affection. Thus, they entered into a marriage contract, to be fulfilled three thousand years after Zhou Tian."
This matter had been announced publicly by Shui Qianheng back then, right after Fantian Shen Di suddenly declared that he would marry Fandi Shennü to Yun Che. Everyone in the Eastern Divine Region knew about it.
Later, the news of Yun Che's fall in the Star God Realm spread. Shui Qianheng sighed but thought that after "three thousand years," Shui Meiyin would have long since grown indifferent or even forgotten about it. He never expected that when she came out of the Zhou Tian Pearl and learned that Yun Che was dead, she cried so bitterly the world turned dark. Only then did he realize that Shui Meiyin's sudden decision to throw herself at Yun Che back then was not a momentary whim.
So now, he took the initiative to bring it up again.
"Previously, it was widely rumored that Yun Che was dead, and my daughter grieved for him for a long time. Now that he is safe and alive, it is only proper for me to take the marriage contract that was announced to the world seriously again. May I ask... what does Yin Xue Realm King think?"
"..." Mu Xuanyin looked at Shui Meiyin. Shui Meiyin also looked back at her. Their gazes met briefly... but it was Mu Xuanyin who looked away first.
"Little Princess of Liuguang, let me ask you a question." Mu Xuanyin shifted her gaze aside and said, "Back then in the Zhou Tian Realm, did you have much interaction with Yun Che?"
"Hmm..." Shui Meiyin thought for a moment, then replied seriously, "Not very much. He wouldn't even talk to me much, and it seemed like he was always avoiding me... Hmph."
Shui Qianheng: "*Ahem ahem ahem...*"
The intersection between Shui Meiyin and Yun Che was indeed very shallow. The only real interaction was the soul battle on the Conferred God Platform. After that, it was all Shui Meiyin forcibly trying to get close to him. To Yun Che and to everyone else, it gave the impression of a young girl's infatuation in the first bloom of love. Everyone thought that this "enthusiasm" would quickly fade away.
"Then has he ever done anything for you, or done anything that would be unforgettable for a lifetime?" Mu Xuanyin asked again.
"No! Not at all!" Shui Meiyin answered without a moment's hesitation.
"If there was neither much time spent together nor anything he did for you, then why would you go to such lengths for him?" Mu Xuanyin frowned slightly. "Three thousand years without letting go. Upon hearing the rumors, you came immediately, even bringing your father... Was it truly love at first sight?"
"..." On the other side, Huo Poyun turned away and closed his eyes.
"Actually, there is a very important reason," Shui Meiyin said. "Back then, Yun Che and I fought using our soul power. Just as I was about to win, he used a very... very... improper method to turn the tables. At the same time, due to something like 'backlash,' his soul mark was deeply imprinted into my Stainless Divine Soul."
Mu Xuanyin: "..."
"So..." Shui Meiyin smiled—a very warm smile. "Ever since then, I always think of him. I think of him every single day. Especially during those years in the Zhou Tian Divine Realm, cultivation was so boring, but the moments when he appeared in my heart were always the happiest for me. It's been like this for so many years, and I haven't felt even a trace of weariness. Especially in those last few years before leaving the Zhou Tian Divine Realm, the joy of knowing I would soon see him again was impossible to put into words."
"..." Mu Xuanyin was stunned. Her icy brows furrowed: "Since you know, why didn't you erase his soul mark? Why did you let yourself be influenced by it?"
Having one's will interfered with was absolutely unacceptable to any profound practitioner. But Shui Meiyin seemed to actually enjoy it?
"Why would I erase it?" Shui Meiyin asked with a smile. "I really like the feeling of thinking about someone and worrying about them. It's a feeling of anticipation, joy, and happiness that nothing else can replace. I like it very, very much... Don't you like it too?"
As she spoke, her pitch-black eyes sparkled like stars twinkling.
"..." Mu Xuanyin's expression froze instantly.
"Meiyin, you can't be so disrespectful when speaking to a senior." Shui Qianheng lightly scolded, then said to Mu Xuanyin, "Yin Xue Realm King, the matter of the marriage contract should still depend on Yun Che's wishes. Now that he is helping Zhou Tian Shen Di dispel the demonic energy, we father and daughter will stay for a while. When he..."
"Daddy!" Shui Meiyin suddenly said, "Let's return to Liuguang Realm now."
Mu Xuanyin: "...?"
"Huh?" Shui Qianheng was stunned. "Now? But... the marriage contract... and you haven't even exchanged a few words with him. Are you just leaving like this?"
"Hmph, he clearly doesn't seem too interested in talking to me." Shui Meiyin mumbled in a very small voice, then answered, "Mother said that you shouldn't be too forward with men. Instead, you should be just out of reach, or else he definitely won't cherish you. I can come here for him without hesitation, and I can also turn and leave without hesitation. That way, he might miss me and think of me a little more."
"Mother also said that back then, that's how she treated Daddy, and that's why she's always been the most favored."
Mu Xuanyin: "..."
"But... this..." Shui Qianheng was still somewhat bewildered.
"Let's go, let's go." Shui Meiyin lightly tugged at her father's sleeve, then suddenly turned to Mu Xuanyin with a bright smile. "Senior Mu, with a mentor as wonderful as you, I can rest assured and also feel very happy. I know that the marriage contract has always been my wishful thinking, but I will work very hard... One day, I'll make him like me."
Who could believe that the one speaking these words was a seventh-level Divine Lord—the youngest seventh-level Divine Lord in the history of the Divine Realm—the daughter of Liuguang Realm King, the possessor of the world's only Stainless Divine Soul, a proud daughter of heaven who in the eyes of the world was gradually becoming comparable to the "Dragon Queen and Divine Maiden."
"Uh... I'll take my leave, I'll take my leave."
Shui Qianheng was pulled away by Shui Meiyin... and they really did leave just like that.
