# Chapter 1499: Wuxin's Colored Glass (Part 2)
"Yuechan, what exactly is Wuxin preparing as a gift for me?"
As soon as Yun Wuxin ran off, Yun Che immediately moved close to Chu Yuechan, unable to contain his curiosity.
Chu Yuechan glanced at him. "You'll like it."
"Hmm..." Yun Che had no choice but to stop asking, but his anticipation still burned.
"How is the matter you're dealing with?" Chu Yuechan asked. "You've never explained it in detail from start to finish, clearly not wanting us to worry... It must be something quite serious, right?"
"Yeah... it is a big matter, and definitely bigger than you might imagine." Yun Che nodded, then smiled. "But don't worry. Even in the absolute worst-case scenario, it won't harm me, let alone affect this planet."
"Oh?" Chu Yuechan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of doubt.
"You can't imagine how special this little planet we live on is within this vast world, so there's no need to worry at all. If we get a relatively good result, then..." Yun Che's face showed anticipation. "When the time is right, I can bring Wuxin and all of you to visit the divine realm. Especially Yin Xue Realm. Wuxin loves the Bing Yun Fairy Palace so much; she would definitely adore Yin Xue Realm."
"Barring any accidents, we should have a result in about a month."
"If that's the case, why did you suddenly come back at this time?"
"Of course, it's because of something important." Yun Che turned his gaze into the distance. "In thirteen days, it will be Grandfather's seventieth birthday."
"For his sixtieth birthday, I was trapped in the Primordial Mystic Ark. Not only was I absent, but I caused him immense grief. This time, no matter what, I must personally and properly prepare everything."
"I see..." Chu Yuechan gently nodded.
Xiao Lie. Though he was not Yun Che's biological grandfather, everyone around Yun Che knew what kind of place he held in Yun Che's life... It was far more than just the grace of raising him.
"That woman named Qianye just now, she..." Chu Yuechan's brow furrowed slightly. Qianye Ying'er's aura was truly terrifying. The feeling of suffocation and palpitations had not faded even now.
"She is... the Qianye Ying'er I told you about before." Yun Che said.
"What?!" Chu Yuechan was visibly startled. Back then, when Yun Che described her to her, he said she was the most terrifying woman in the divine realm, and that she had once nearly sent him to his complete death.
"Don't worry. For certain reasons, I've placed a slave mark on her. She's gone from being the most terrifying person to the most obedient one." Yun Che smiled reassuringly. Just hearing the name "Qianye Ying'er," Chu Yuechan had clearly been frightened... because she was now by Yun Wuxin's side.
"Slave... mark?" Chu Yuechan was even more surprised. But she was by no means a soft-hearted or rigid person. Her snow-white face cooled. "That kind of soul mark that goes against humanity... using it on her is more than fitting."
At that moment, Chu Yuechan suddenly thought of something. Her gaze shifted slightly, and she looked at him with a hint of melancholy. "You... haven't touched her, have you?"
"No, no!" Yun Che immediately shook his head, his face full of pure sincerity, his tone confident. "Absolutely not!"
"Is that so?" Seeing that Yun Che showed no sign of guilt, Chu Yuechan was instead somewhat surprised. "That doesn't seem to match your nature."
"Ahaha," Yun Che stepped forward, spreading his arms to embrace Chu Yuechan's soft and delicate body. "I have my little fairy. Why would I stoop to touching a venomous demoness?"
"..."
...
In the following days, Yun Che indeed began preparing early for Xiao Lie's seventieth birthday banquet. He knew that Xiao Lie disliked worldly pursuits and noise, so although he placed great importance on this matter, he didn't make a big show of it, let alone widely send out invitations. The preparations were simple, but he handled everything personally and with extreme care.
This was the first time he had held a birthday banquet for Xiao Lie. It could be considered a small repayment for Xiao Lie's grace in raising him.
During the day, he busied himself with Xiao Yun. At night, he immediately revealed his true debauched nature, indulging in nightly revelry without a single day of restraint. He himself had long suspected that this was most likely related to his Dragon God Bloodline.
Probably...
The reason he didn't let Qianye Ying'er follow him was very likely because he didn't want her to spy on him or expose his "true nature"... After all, during the days Qianye Ying'er had been by his side, he had been extremely well-behaved and indifferent!
What he didn't know was that strange conversations happened every day between Yun Wuxin and Qianye Ying'er.
Yun Wuxin: "Auntie Qianye, why do you always call Father 'Master'? It's so strange."
Qianye Ying'er: "Because Master has planted a slave mark on me. I must be absolutely loyal to him for a thousand years."
Yun Wuxin: "Slave mark? What's that? It sounds like something unpleasant. Auntie Qianye, are you... actually not really willing to call Father master?"
Qianye Ying'er: "Being able to have a slave mark placed on me is due to Master's strength. It has nothing to do with willingness."
Under Yun Che's orders, she would seriously answer any question Yun Wuxin asked.
"So, in that divine realm place, Father is also a very powerful person?" Yun Wuxin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes. Master is a remarkable person, and even more so, a very special one... Perhaps he can be called the most special person in the world." Qianye Ying'er answered.
"Hee hee hee hee..." Yun Wuxin inexplicably felt happy hearing this. The image of her father suddenly became even taller and more mysterious in her heart. Clasping her hands together, she said with great anticipation and longing, "Do you think Father will like the gift I'm preparing for him?"
"He will." Qianye Ying'er answered without hesitation. "Master is a person who places too much emphasis on emotional bonds. No matter what the little master's gift is, he will love it immensely, especially since it has so much of the little master's effort and feelings poured into it."
"Mm! Mother and Master say the same!" Yun Wuxin looked at Qianye Ying'er's golden mask and said, "Auntie Qianye, I want to see what you look like. Is that okay?"
"Master has ordered that without his command, I cannot remove the mask." Qianye Ying'er said.
"Just once, just once! I'm really curious."
"I cannot disobey Master's command."
"...Stingy." Yun Wuxin pouted her lips in slight disappointment, then asked, "Then... Father says you're very powerful. Are you more powerful than Father?"
"...Yes." Qianye Ying'er said.
"Wow!" Yun Wuxin exclaimed in surprise. "Can you show me how powerful you are?"
"I cannot do that." Qianye Ying'er said.
"Ah? Why?"
"This planet is too fragile. If I used my full power, I would surely destroy it." Qianye Ying'er answered very bluntly.
Yun Wuxin: "???"
...
"Like this, it's completely done."
Yun Wuxin carefully brought her hands together, with faint hints of colorful light slipping through her fingers, reflecting in her star-filled eyes.
The object in her hands could be said to have absorbed all her efforts during this period. This was also the first time in her life she had prepared a gift with such care.
"Tomorrow is Great-Grandfather's birthday. Father attaches great importance to this. Should I give it to Father now, or wait until after the birthday?" Yun Wuxin began to struggle with the decision.
The Qianye Ying'er beside her said, "Delays often lead to changes. Better to do it sooner."
Qianye Ying'er was an extremely cold and cautious person, rarely speaking sentimentally, and never deliberately trying to make a girl happy. But after spending these days together, Yun Wuxin had long gotten used to it. She thought for a moment and said, "Mm! You're right! The last few times, Father suddenly left. What if he... again? Let's go find Father now."
Qianye Ying'er nodded slightly. She pointed a finger and lifted Yun Wuxin with her. The scene before them instantly shifted.
The space of the Lan Ji Star was as fragile as thin paper to her. In just an instant, she brought Yun Wuxin before Yun Che.
Sensing their auras, Yun Che turned around. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Wuxin was already impatiently holding up her hands. "Father! A gift for you!"
"Oh?" The words he was about to say immediately got swallowed back. Yun Che's features unconsciously relaxed under the anticipation that had lasted for over ten days. "It's already done? I've been looking forward to it for so long... Hm?"
As Yun Wuxin's hands parted, three streaks of light, each of a different color but all exceptionally pure, reflected in Yun Che's pupils.
In Yun Wuxin's hands were three jade stones, each about the size of a dragon's eye, of different shapes. They were of different colors, somewhat translucent, and shimmered with a very faint glow, like three pieces of colored glaze.
And Yun Che recognized at a glance that these three colored glaze jade stones were actually three Liuyin Stones.
Liuyin Stones were a type of jade that could be used to record and release sounds. They were common across all planes, and in terms of value, they were far inferior to even the most ordinary Mysterious Shadow Stones... After all, Mysterious Shadow Stones could record both images and sounds, while Liuyin Stones could only record sounds.
Moreover, in many cases, they were merely a byproduct of making Sound Transmission Stones or Sound Transmission Jades.
On the Lan Ji Star plane, the Liuyin Stones people commonly saw were grayish-black and emitted no mysterious light. But the three in Yun Wuxin's hands were pale gold, water blue, and crimson red respectively, and their luster was exceptionally pure.
In the divine realm, colored Liuyin Stones were everywhere, and no profound practitioner would spare them a second glance if they were thrown on the ground. But Yun Che knew very well that due to the elemental planes and activity levels, colored Liuyin Stones were extremely rare on Lan Ji Star, and they only appeared in extreme environments with highly active elements.
Like volcanoes, deep seas, deserts...
These three colored Liuyin Stones were not only similar in size but also extremely pure in color. Clearly, Yun Wuxin must have personally gone to one extreme environment after another, searching for a very long time...
"Such beautiful Liuyin Stones." Yun Che smiled. He reached out his hand, gently took them from Yun Wuxin's hands, and held them in his own palm.
The three Liuyin Stones were strung together with a strand of blue-black, lustrous silk thread, forming a simple necklace. When his fingers touched the thread, Yun Che understood something. He gently lifted the "silk thread" with his fingers. "This is... Wuxin's hair?"
"Right!" Yun Wuxin said with a smile. "The length is just right! I infused a lot of Phoenix Divine Power into it. As long as Father doesn't deliberately try to break it, it definitely won't come apart."
"Haha, how could I ever bear to break it?" Yun Che said with a laugh.
"That's not important right now." Yun Wuxin took a small step forward, her eyes sparkling like stars, full of anticipation. "Quick, listen to the message I left for Father! It's very important!"
"Alright." Yun Che nodded with a smile. His finger touched the Liuyin Stone in the middle.
This was a pale gold Liuyin Stone, shaped into a fairly standard heart. The traces of profound energy left on it proved that Yun Wuxin had carefully shaped it with her own hands. As his fingertip infused profound energy, Yun Wuxin's voice came from the Liuyin Stone:
"Father, Wuxin misses you."
The girl's voice was soft, sweet, and tender, carrying her most pure and flawless feelings. Not only Yun Che, but even Qianye Ying'er, standing to the side, felt a momentary melting sensation in her chest.
"This is to remind Father that you are someone who has a daughter. You can't always be running around outside. You have to come back often!" Yun Wuxin's brows curved, but her tone was full of seriousness.
"Alright..." Yun Che's lips trembled several times before he softly said, "I promise Wuxin that once this matter is resolved, I will stay by Wuxin's side every day."
"Hee hee, Father must keep his word!" Yun Wuxin's gaze shifted. "The other two are also very important!"
Yun Che touched the Liuyin Stone on the left. This one was light blue, a regular triangular shape, with a deliberately released sharpness:
"Father, don't do dangerous things!"
This time, the girl's voice from inside was exceptionally stern!
Yun Che laughed. "This one must be reminding me to protect myself, right?"
"Hmph, Father knows it well." Yun Wuxin's nose and lips both slightly pouted. "Mother, Master, and the others all say that Father always likes to play the hero and do very dangerous things. Many times, you almost lost your life!"
Yun Che: "..."
"Whatever happened before doesn't matter! But now, Father has a daughter! A father who makes his daughter lose her father is the most hateful father in the world! So!! From now on, Father absolutely~~ absolutely~~ absolutely~~ cannot do any dangerous things anymore! Not even a little bit of danger is allowed!"
"Even if people call you a coward, you still can't!"
"Alright... alright." Yun Che placed his hand on his chest and said very seriously, "I promise Wuxin that no matter where I am, I will take good care of myself and not do any dangerous things."
His gaze fell on the third Liuyin Stone.
This one was crimson red, containing a very strong flame aura. It was likely found in a place like lava. What surprised Yun Che was its shape—very irregular. Looking at it from another angle... it seemed to be a clenched little fist?
"This is... a fist?" Yun Che asked.
"Right!" Yun Wuxin nodded. "It's a fist! This one was really hard to make. I spent a long time shaping it like this, and I almost broke it! The sound inside is also very important!"
Mm... a fist...
Yun Che was quite curious about his daughter's creativity. He gently tapped it.
"Father! Don't go picking flowers and grass!"
Yun Che: (￣ω￣;)
"Hee hee hee hee!" Yun Wuxin's eyes narrowed slightly as she giggled slyly. "This wasn't just said by me alone. Mother and Master didn't object either!"
"Teaching you such strange words like 'picking flowers and grass'—your mother deserves a spanking!" Yun Che said through clenched teeth.
"Mother also told me to tell Father that when you secretly do strange things with other aunties outside, you must be very careful not to touch this Liuyin Stone."
"~!@#¥%..." Yun Che rubbed his forehead: My heavens! My little fairy! She's learned to be naughty too...
"Eh?" Yun Wuxin blinked. "Father! Your expression is so strange. Don't you like the gift?"
Yun Che shook his head and smiled. "Of course not! This is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life. How could I not like it?"
With that, he picked up the string of Liuyin Stones and, very seriously and gently, put it around his neck.
Given Yun Che's experience and status, Liuyin Stones were ordinary objects—common enough to be worthless. But these three Liuyin Stones carried his daughter's priceless thoughts and feelings.
"I will wear it forever. That way, no matter where I am, I can hear Wuxin's voice every day."
He stepped forward, spread his arms, and gently embraced his daughter. Unconsciously, his arms tightened little by little.
"Ah..." Yun Wuxin let out a soft sound. "Father, your heart is beating so fast."
"Mm." Yun Che closed his eyes, revealing the gentlest and most flawless smile of his life. "Wuxin, my daughter, thank you."
"Oh dear, oh dear," those few words made Yun Wuxin a little shy. "It's just a small gift. Father doesn't need to say such strange things."
"It's not just thanks for the gift. It's also thanks to my Wuxin for making me the luckiest person in the world."
"Huh?" Yun Wuxin was startled.
"Wuxin, I hope you remember," Yun Che whispered in her ear. "No matter what happened in the past, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you are forever happy and well, I will be the luckiest person in the world."
"...Mm!" Yun Wuxin answered very softly. She quietly wrapped her arms around her father, resting her head on his shoulder.
Qianye Ying'er turned her gaze away. She stared blankly for a very long time... When she finally moved her eyes away, a trace of confusion and sorrow—one she herself could not name—passed through her golden pupils.
