# Chapter 739: Visitor from the Ice Palace
Unconsciously, Yun Che had already stayed at the Bing Yun Fairy Palace for over a month.
During this time, he was busy every day. Following Murong Qianxue, he used Overlord Pills to help Jun Lianqie, Mu Lanyi, Chu Yueli, Feng Hanyue, and Feng Hanxue all break through to the Overlord Xuan Realm. The entire process had no errors or accidents.
In a way that required no effort of their own, within a single day they reached a realm they had never dared to hope for in their lives. Even after more than a month, this dreamlike surprise still hadn't faded. During this time, they devoted themselves to quiet cultivation every day, supplemented by the Ice Toad Jade Dew that Yun Che refined to stabilize their profound strength.
After the Ice Cloud Seven Immortals, Yun Che began working on the profound strength improvement of other Bing Yun disciples, also using Overlord Pills. The method and process were exactly the same. The difference was that each Bing Yun woman had a different profound strength realm, so the amount of Overlord Pill energy they could withstand naturally differed, and the time required also varied.
The strongest, Mu Lingxue, could withstand two Overlord Pills. Her profound strength directly surged to the King Xuan Realm within an hour, leaving her feeling like she was in a dream for the next several days. As for the newly initiated disciples who were still young, they couldn't even endure half a pill.
Therefore, improving the profound strength of ordinary Bing Yun women took much less time than for the Ice Cloud Seven Immortals, but the difficulty was no less. Throughout the process, Yun Che still had to be in a state where his profound strength was fully released and his mental energy completely focused, because the lower the profound strength, the weaker the constitution, and the more careful he had to be—no accidents could be allowed.
After more than a month, he had already completed profound strength breakthroughs for over three hundred Bing Yun women, with no failures.
All the Bing Yun women now looked at their new Palace Master—the first male Palace Master in history—without any trace of rejection or strangeness, but with an admiration as if they were gazing at a god.
It was now noon, but Yun Che wasn't improving any Bing Yun disciples' profound strength. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged in his ice pavilion, slowly guiding the flow of profound energy in his body. That very morning, after completing Shui Wushuang's profound strength improvement, his entire profound energy suddenly fell into chaos. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground. His face was a terrifyingly pale color, startling Shui Wushuang so much that she didn't even have time to put on her snow robe before frantically helping him up... After a long while, she finally realized that Yun Che's profound strength had suddenly broken through a bottleneck.
He had advanced from King Xuan Realm Level 3 to King Xuan Realm Level 4.
With the Great Dao Pagoda Art on him, even if he didn't cultivate at all, his body would spontaneously absorb the world's natural energy. Even while sleeping, his strength and constitution were continuously increasing, which also drove the growth of his profound strength.
The two greatest leaps in his body and profound strength had been once in the Primordial Mystic Ark and once in the Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley. The ice elements at the Bing Yun Fairy Palace were particularly active. Although it was far inferior to the spatial storms of the Primordial Mystic Ark and the Sea of Death in the Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley, the rate of absorbing the world's energy was still slightly faster than in other places.
After more than an hour of rest, the profound energy in Yun Che's body had completely calmed down, and his profound strength had officially entered King Xuan Realm Level 4. While improving the profound strength of the Bing Yun women, it also served as a high-intensity tempering for his own profound strength. If nothing unexpected happened, before his fight with Fen Juechen, his profound strength should be able to break through to King Xuan Realm Level 5.
If he could obtain Feng Xue'er's Phoenix Primal Yin...
At this moment, Yun Che's eyes slowly opened. Outside the ice pavilion, Feng Xue'er's soft voice came: "Brother Yun, may I come in?"
"Xue'er, come in quickly." Yun Che said immediately.
The ice door was gently pushed open, and Feng Xue'er walked in with light steps. At that moment, Yun Che's eyes brightened sharply, his gaze firmly fixed on Feng Xue'er, lost in intoxication for a long time.
The clothes Feng Xue'er usually wore were either gold or fiery red. But now, she was dressed in the pure white snow robe of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace.
"Brother Yun, is it pretty?" She stood before him, showing him how she looked in the Bing Yun snow robe, and was greeted by Yun Che's already dazed gaze.
Her clothes were white as snow, the long skirt trailing the ground, faintly revealing a pair of exquisite Snow Phoenix shoes. Her waist was tied with a white silk sash, perfectly outlining her incredibly slender waist, while the pair of delicate breasts on her chest formed an enticingly full curve.
The snow robes of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace differed between ordinary disciples and the Ice Cloud Seven Immortals. The one Feng Xue'er wore belonged to the Ice Cloud Seven Immortals. Yun Che was very familiar with it. What amazed him wasn't the snow robe, but the young girl beneath it.
Feng Xue'er's skin was very, very white—a kind of pure white like the cleanest snow, like the most flawless suet jade. Even against the backdrop of the pure white snow robe, even in the ice pavilion without bright light, her skin was still dazzlingly white. Her face, carved like ice and snow, was adorned with slender willow eyebrows like crescent moons and deep, clear pupils. Her cheeks were fairer than snow, her beautiful face like poetry and painting. Her two delicate lips were like a pink rouge delicately drawn by heaven's utmost effort, breathtakingly beautiful.
"My Xue'er... of course, no matter what clothes she wears, she is the most beautiful in the world." Yun Che stared blankly, praising sincerely.
Feng Xue'er opened her arms, a smile blooming on her face: "This was given to me by Uncle Master Hanyue. It fits perfectly, not a bit unsuitable. And it's very light and cool... Ah!"
With a soft cry, Feng Xue'er was pulled by Yun Che, hooking her slender waist, and sat down on his lap. Yun Che gently embraced the jade-like body in his arms, his expression somewhat dazed: "Xue'er, you are so beautiful... that I don't even know what to do."
Feng Xue'er curled up slightly in Yun Che's arms, a faint blush spreading over her cheeks. She said softly and timidly: "Brother Yun, you... you're not going to... bully me again, are you..."
Every time he held Feng Xue'er's soft, jade-like immortal body, the agitation in Yun Che's body would become so strong that he could hardly control himself. He leaned close to Feng Xue'er's face and whispered: "Originally, I wasn't, but since Xue'er reminded me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Che held Feng Xue'er tightly and kissed her tender lips, then intoxicatedly savored the fragrance and sweetness in her mouth.
Feng Xue'er let out a soft moan, and the shyness and tenderness of the young girl immediately turned into a blush on her snow-white face.
She was no longer being tasted by him for the first time. After her first kiss was taken half a month ago, Yun Che had become more and more forward, kissing her several times every day—sometimes gently, sometimes domineeringly, sometimes shamelessly, sometimes catching her off guard. Each time, she could only shyly comply... because deep in her heart, she was already betrothed to Yun Che by her imperial father.
Her tender little hands weakly pushed against Yun Che's shoulders, her lips gasping softly, her half-open beautiful eyes misty and blurred... If the people of the Shenhuang Empire saw their Snow Princess, whom they regarded as a faith, being so bullied by a man, it might even cause an empire-wide uprising.
While Feng Xue'er's mind was dazed, she didn't notice that her snow skirt had been quietly lifted by a restless big hand, all the way to her waist, revealing a pair of porcelain-jade-like snow-white legs. The sash at her waist was also undone, the snow robe pulled down, revealing her delicately carved snow-white shoulders, smooth and moist like fat, pink and glossy like grease, shining like frost and snow under the winter sun.
Yun Che's gaze was captivated. Under the uncontrollable intense agitation in his body, his palm almost involuntarily rose and caressed Feng Xue'er's exposed collarbone...
The touch of palm and skin without any barrier made Feng Xue'er's beautiful eyes widen. Like a startled little rabbit, she leaped out of Yun Che's arms, panting, her gaze confused...
"I... I'll go return the snow robe to... to Uncle Master Hanyue..."
Feng Xue'er blushed deeply, frantically gathering up the snow robe that had somehow been pulled open, and fled away like a runaway...
"Whew..." Yun Che lay back on the ice bed, somewhat dejected.
"You still haven't succeeded? Aren't you afraid of losing badly under Fen Juechen's hands?" Mo Li said coldly. "Feng Xue'er's heart and soul have no resistance against you. If you were a bit more forceful, you should have obtained her Phoenix Primal Yin long ago."
"Of course not!" Yun Che shook his head and muttered, "This kind of thing requires gradual progress. Xue'er has a pure heart for me. If I did what you said, it might frighten or even hurt her. Moreover, to obtain her Phoenix Primal Yin just to fight Fen Juechen would make me feel like I'm hurting and using Xue'er for my own gain. I can't do that... That's a matter of principle."
"Principle?" Mo Li sneered. "When it comes to matters of women, you actually have the nerve to talk about principle... Hmph, as expected, your face is thicker than a city wall."
"Hehe, it's still Mo Li who knows my few remaining virtues best." Yun Che said with a lecherous grin.
"...But judging by your demeanor, you don't seem worried about your battle with Fen Juechen."
"Somewhat. After all, Fen Juechen has a major character flaw." Yun Che closed his eyes and said calmly.
"A character flaw? You mean..."
"Ji Qianrou of the Supreme Sea Palace seeks an audience with Bing Yun Palace Master Yun Che!"
At that moment, a faint, delicate, and bone-soft voice came from afar. Yun Che immediately sat up from the ice bed: "Ji Qianrou?"
Why would he come here?
...Could it be that the person Zi Ji mentioned back then who would deliver the invitation for the Demon Sword Conference was referring to Ji Qianrou?
From outside the door, Murong Qianxue's voice came: "Palace Master, there is a strange person outside the palace gate who wants to see you, claiming to be from the Supreme Sea Palace."
Yun Che rose and walked outside the ice pavilion, seeing Murong Qianxue and Mu Lanyi standing there with solemn expressions. He quickly said, "Two Uncle Masters, no need to worry, and no need to be on guard. This is an old acquaintance of mine. He came here to deliver something to me. I'll come back soon after getting the item. Tell Xue'er and the others not to worry either."
After speaking, Yun Che leaped up and flew toward the palace gate.
"A person from the Supreme Sea Palace... Palace Master, be careful." Murong Qianxue and Mu Lanyi said in unison. Even though Yun Che had said there was no need to worry... it was still someone from the Sacred Grounds.
As soon as he exited the Bing Yun Fairy Palace, Yun Che saw the figure before the palace gate. Dressed in white, standing gracefully, robes fluttering in the cold wind. His face was like carved jade, his eyes like autumn water, handsome and ethereal... This was a man who could be described as beautiful, so beautiful that even women would be jealous.
Jade-faced Demon Lord — Ji Qianrou.
Yun Che strode up and greeted him courteously with cupped hands: "Junior Yun Che greets Senior Ji. Three years have passed, and Senior Ji's elegance indeed surpasses the past."
Ji Qianrou's beautiful eyes were like peach blossoms, but they seemed to carry a hint of resentment: "If we're talking about elegance, compared to little Che Che, I'm far behind."
After three years, hearing Ji Qianrou's voice again still made Yun Che's scalp tingle and his whole body break out in goosebumps. Ji Qianrou's voice fell, and he extended his right hand. His slender fingers, like green onions, lightly twirled, and a light blue petal appeared from nowhere. With a gentle flick of his fingers, it drifted lightly toward Yun Che.
The light blue petal looked no different from an ordinary flower petal, carried as if by a gentle breeze, slowly floating close to Yun Che. The biting wind here had no effect on the petal's flight path. Instead... the wind approaching it seemed to be sucked into an invisible giant vortex and disappeared without a trace.
As the petal approached, Yun Che's face still wore a smile. He directly extended his fingers and casually caught the petal between two fingers, then closed his hand and held it in his palm. When his hand opened again, the petal had vanished without a trace... The entire process made no sound, not even the slightest fluctuation of profound energy.
"Thank you for the gift, Senior Ji." Yun Che said with a smile.
"Ah." Ji Qianrou let out another resentful sigh. "Little Che Che indeed lives up to the legend. In just three years, you've already left me far behind. I'm afraid in the future, I won't even be worthy of entering little Che Che's sight."
"~!@#$%^..." Yun Che struggled to maintain his smile, but his tone was extremely sincere: "Three years ago, Senior Ji saved my life on the Primordial Mystic Ark. I have never dared to forget that kindness. If there is any way I can repay Senior Ji, I will do my utmost."
Ji Qianrou's gaze shifted, a flicker of surprise flashing through it, then she smiled coyly: "What I did on the Primordial Mystic Ark back then was just playing with little Han Han and returning you a favor. It's not as exaggerated as you say. Don't even mention repayment. Favors are the most troublesome things, going back and forth. This time, I have specially come under the orders of my Sea Hall's Grand Elder to deliver something to little Che Che."
