# Chapter 1509: Wedding Date, Oh Wedding Date
"You said it yourself. If I won, you'd leave with me. Wherever I go, you follow. Not a single word have I forgotten. And there's another very good piece of news."
He whispered in Mo Li's ear, telling her about the decision of Jie Tian Mo Di, leaving Mo Li stunned for a long time.
All the calamities and hardships had scattered like clouds. The former extravagant hope was now in his arms, and the future was an endless, radiant light. Just as Xia Qingyue had said, there could be no better ending than this.
"Alright, come with me now." Yun Che firmly held Mo Li's small hand, so eager to take her back to Lan Ji Star—the place where they first met and where their fates became tightly intertwined. "By the way, Qingyue said she wants to see you and return to Lan Ji Star with us. What do you... think?"
Mo Li's gaze shifted slightly. Her small hand suddenly withdrew, slipping out of Yun Che's grasp like a fish, and she turned her body away. With a demonic air, she said, "I can't leave here just yet."
"Huh?" Yun Che was stunned, then his heart sank. "Why? You're not going back on your word, are you?"
"Before I leave, I want to go see Cai Zhi one more time." Mo Li said softly. "This time, I'll choose to meet her. Perhaps, when I return to Lan Ji Star with you, it won't be just me alone."
"...!!" Greatly startled, Yun Che let out a long breath of relief. "Alright, I'll go with you."
"Are you going to die?" She shot him a glance. "The places she's in are the most dangerous areas of Tai Chu Divine Realm. With your current strength, if you set foot there, even with Qianye and me together, we wouldn't be able to protect you."
Yun Che: o(╥﹏╥)o
"She's trapped by obsession right now. If she can leave with us, that would be best. If she insists on staying, I won't force her." Mo Li knew that the news she was about to bring would also be a kind of redemption for Cai Zhi, perhaps allowing her to step out of the abyss she had created for herself. "After that, I'll come find you on my own."
"Alright!" Yun Che thought for a moment and nodded willingly, then cautioned with a careful expression, "I'll be seeing off Lady Mo Di in a few days. I should be in the God Realm during this time before returning to Lan Ji Star. If you come looking for me during this period, make sure no one else in the God Realm sees you... I'm afraid I'd scare them to death."
"Hmph!" Mo Li's nose tilted slightly, her tone cold and proud. "If I don't wish it, they're not qualified to detect me."
"Uh... yes, yes, yes. My Mo Li is truly unmatched in the world." Yun Che said with a beaming smile. "After we return to Lan Ji Star, I'll first take you to meet my daughter. I'm sure you'll like her."
"Hmph, not interested." Mo Li snorted lightly, then suddenly swept a glance at Qianye Ying'er. Her gaze focused, and a strange expression appeared on her face. "You actually... never touched her?"
Given her understanding of Yun Che, this was simply impossible!
No matter how much she hated Qianye Ying'er, she couldn't deny one thing—her beauty and figure were absolutely worthy of the title "Divine Maiden"! Otherwise, how could someone like her brother have been driven to madness, willing to sacrifice his life for her?
"That's right," Yun Che quietly approached Mo Li, his face full of righteousness and purity, his hand silently reaching toward her slightly raised chest. "I haven't even properly cherished my own Mo Li, so how could I possibly... Wah!"
With a miserable cry, Yun Che was kicked ten miles away by Mo Li.

Leaving Tai Chu Divine Realm, Yun Che returned to Yin Xue Realm.
Today's Yin Xue Realm seemed to have especially gentle and peaceful snowfall.
The Ice Phoenix Sacred Hall was as quiet as ever. When Yun Che entered, he saw Mu Feixue standing there silently, but there was no sign of Mu Xuanyin.
"Feixue Junior Sister," Yun Che called out with a smile. With a relaxed mind and good spirits, the smile on his face carried an unusual infectious quality that made Mu Feixue momentarily stunned. "Is Master not here again?"
"Master went out on business today, but she should be back soon." Mu Feixue turned her jade-like face away somewhat awkwardly, gazing at the willow-catkin-like snow outside the window.
"Oh!" Yun Che acknowledged, his smile growing wider. "Then I'll wait for Master here. By the way, Feixue, the Heng Ying Stone you gave me—Wuxin absolutely loves it. She carves many images on it every day. Uh... is there anything you especially want? At least let me express my gratitude somehow."
"No need. I'm glad she likes it." Mu Feixue replied coldly.
Yun Che didn't press further. For the past month or so, he had been thinking about what to give Mu Feixue.
He sat cross-legged on the floor, his fingers constantly touching the Liu Yin Stone hanging around his neck. Mu Feixue glanced at it several times before finally taking the initiative to ask, "Liu Yin Stone?"
Yun Che's head shot up, and he said with great excitement, "Yes! Wuxin made it herself! Isn't it beautiful?"
As he spoke, his fingers seemingly casually released a wisp of profound energy, and the Liu Yin Stone emitted Yun Wuxin's sweet, tender voice.
"..." Mu Feixue ignored him.
Having been snubbed, Yun Che could only sheepishly put down the Liu Yin Stone.
While waiting in silence, his gaze fell upon the eternally unfrozen pool in the hall, staring for a long time at the snow-white, immaculate flower at its center.
This was the Ice Feather Spirit Flower he had picked for Mu Xuanyin back then in Wu Jue Valley. Since then, it had appeared here, becoming the sole existence at the heart of this ice pool.
Unknowingly, seven years had passed since then, yet it had never withered, blooming proudly just as it did back then.
"Feixue Junior Sister," Yun Che came back to his senses and asked, "You said Master went out on business. Do you know what it's about?"
Mu Feixue didn't look at him, but the corner of her beautiful eyes seemed to glance at the Ice Feather Spirit Flower he had been staring at. "Today is the death anniversary of Master and Ice Cloud Palace Master's father. Every year on this day, Master and Ice Cloud Palace Master go to pay their respects."
Yun Che was startled, then nodded slightly. "I see."
He had been by Mu Xuanyin's side for several years but had never known this.
Thinking about the ages of Mu Xuanyin and Mu Bingyun, Yun Che casually asked, "To have raised Master and Ice Cloud Palace Master, Master's father must have been an extraordinary figure. But it seems he didn't die of old age. Was he killed by someone?"
"Yes," Mu Feixue said coldly. "Master's father was killed by a demon who escaped from the Northern Domain. Because of this, Master and Ice Cloud Palace Master both deeply hate demons. If they see one, they will kill without mercy."
"!!" Yun Che felt as if struck by lightning, frozen in shock.
"?" His obviously abnormal reaction made Mu Feixue turn to look at him.
Just then, a light, ethereal cold wind swept by. Mu Xuanyin's ethereally beautiful figure, like an ice fairy, appeared at the entrance of the sacred hall, carrying a few scattered snowflakes.
"Greetings, Master!" Mu Feixue bowed respectfully.
Yun Che's reaction was a full two breaths slower before he hastily bowed, his movements somewhat stiff. "Disciple Yun Che greets Master."
Mu Xuanyin's icy eyes fell on Yun Che, immediately detecting his strangeness. Her slender brows furrowed slightly. "What happened?"
"..." Yun Che shook his head, lifting his gaze. "Disciple has some important news to tell Master. Master will surely be pleased to hear it."
"Feixue, withdraw first." Mu Xuanyin said.
"Yes." Mu Feixue responded and slowly walked away.
"Speak." Mu Xuanyin's icy eyes stared directly into Yun Che's. She hadn't forgotten the obvious strangeness in his expression just now.
Yun Che calmed his mind somewhat, then, in great detail, told Mu Xuanyin everything Jie Tian Mo Di had said to him and what had happened in Zhou Tian God Realm.
After that, he also told her the complete truth about the "Xie Ying."
Mu Xuanyin listened silently, violent expressions of shock repeatedly appearing on her ice-cold face. But she never interrupted or questioned him.
After Yun Che finished recounting everything, the sacred hall fell into an especially long silence. Mu Xuanyin stood there quietly, unmoving and speechless for a long time.
"Are all these true?" Mu Xuanyin finally spoke, asking the question almost everyone who heard it would ask.
"Yes." Yun Che nodded solemnly.
The snow-white robes on Mu Xuanyin fluttered slightly, clearly indicating her inner turmoil. She was about to ask something else when her icy eyes suddenly turned toward the outside of the hall. Then she said, "Go meet the little princess of Liu Guang Realm."
"Ah?" Yun Che was confused.
"Your wedding date is tentatively set for next month." Mu Xuanyin added.
"Ah??" Yun Che was even more confused.
Just then, a cheerful, ethereal young girl's voice stirred the falling snow, coming from afar: "Brother Yun Che, I've come to see you!"
Yun Che turned in surprise. That voice was unmistakably Shui Meiyin!
After the girl's voice, Shui Qianheng's voice also came from a distance: "Shui Qianheng of Liu Guang Realm, accompanied by my daughter, comes to visit Yin Xue Realm King."
"Go ahead."
With the words spoken, Mu Xuanyin's figure had vanished from where she stood. Yun Che's account was enough for her to guess the purpose of Shui Qianheng's sudden visit.
Yun Che left the sacred hall and immediately saw a petite figure of a young girl descending from above. Her black dress fluttered as she moved, like a black butterfly dancing gracefully in the falling snow, landing lightly on the snowfield.
"Brother Yun Che!" She hopped lightly, standing perkily in front of Yun Che, her captivating eyes curving into two thin crescent moons. "Did you miss me? Hehe."
"I've been so busy lately, when would I have time to miss you?" Yun Che said with a straight face.
"But I've missed you so much, every single day." She looked up at him, her starry night-like eyes releasing undisguised infatuation. "Father has already told me. Thanks to Brother Yun Che, the Demon Emperor and the Demon God will both remain outside the Chaos forever. Brother Yun Che saved everyone in the God Realm! Father was almost trembling with excitement when he found out."
"The one who decided everything was Lady Mo Di. I really didn't do much." Yun Che said slowly. Even though it was the most perfect outcome, every time he thought of Jie Yuan's decision and her words, his mood became complex and indescribable.
"Wow! The savior who saved the entire world, yet so gentle and humble. As expected of my Brother Yun Che. Truly the best and most remarkable person in the world!"
In Shui Meiyin's world, every aspect of Yun Che seemed the most perfect in the world. Looking at him, her curved beautiful eyes seemed to contain countless brilliant stars shining. "Father said that next month, I can marry Brother Yun Che and become Brother Yun Che's little wife."
"It's called a concubine!" Yun Che corrected her, almost asking for a beating.
Next month... wasn't that the same time as Xue'er?
He hadn't even mentioned Shui Meiyin to his parents, Cang Yue, and the others back in the lower realm yet.
Whatever. I'll deal with it then.
