Chapter 1383: Disaster in Cangyun

Su Ling'er pushed open the door. On the spacious bed, Xiao Lingxi clutched the corner of her quilt, immersed in deep despair. Scattered beside her was the intimate clothing that Yun Che had torn.

Seeing Su Ling'er, she subtly pulled the quilt tighter around her, but otherwise showed no reaction, only her eyes growing dimmer.

"Sister Lingxi," Su Ling'er said, sitting on the bed. As she looked at Xiao Lingxi's partially exposed body, a deep sense of admiration and awe flashed in her eyes. Her exposed curves were utterly perfect, and her skin was like lustrous, flawless porcelain jade, stirring a strong urge in Su Ling'er to reach out and touch it.

She believed that any man confronted with such a perfect body would transform into a wild beast, losing all self-control.

How much more so Yun Che...

Su Ling'er's words still didn't elicit much of a reaction from Xiao Lingxi. She bowed her head deeper towards her knees and then suddenly whispered, "Ling'er, does he only... feel kinship towards me?"

Su Ling'er didn't ask why she posed the question. Instead, she replied without hesitation, "No one is qualified to answer that question but you. You are the only one who feels it most truly and directly. Whether his feelings for you are more like kinship or romantic love, you should know better than anyone."

Xiao Lingxi fell silent.

"All I know is that every time he looks at you, his gaze is so warm and affectionate... as if he wishes he could give you all the best things in the world."

Su Ling'er's words gradually replaced the dimness in Xiao Lingxi's eyes with a hazy softness. She slowly lifted her head, "But, he... why..."

Xiao Lingxi couldn't utter the rest of the sentence, but Su Ling'er knew what she wanted to say. She smiled slightly, leaned her lips close to Xiao Lingxi's ear, and whispered.

"Ah?" Xiao Lingxi gasped softly, her lips parting wide.

"That's the real reason," Su Ling'er said, covering her lips lightly. "Brother Yun Che doesn't not want you; it's not your fault, but his own."

"But... but..." Xiao Lingxi's face flushed crimson, making her exquisitely beautiful.

"Do you know why that happens?" Su Ling'er explained with a smile, "That kind of situation in men only occurs when they are too nervous. What I mean is, he doesn't not want you; rather, he cherishes you too much, or desires you too intensely, which makes him overly nervous at that moment... You have no idea how frustrated he was when he ran out just now. He even said he couldn't face you, hehe."

When it came to matters between men and women, Xiao Lingxi was a blank slate, while Su Ling'er was highly skilled in medicine. Naturally, Xiao Lingxi had not the slightest doubt about her words. The gloom and disappointment in her heart instantly vanished, replaced by a wave of shyness. She pulled the quilt over her face and let out a soft moan, "Oh... you're making fun of me again..."

Watching Xiao Lingxi return to her usual self, Su Ling'er let out a small sigh of relief. Then she pulled back the quilt and slipped in beside her, playfully caressing Xiao Lingxi's delicate, smooth skin. "If you want Brother Yun Che to 'eat you up' so much, you need to learn to be a little more proactive... Shall I teach you?"

Xiao Lingxi gasped repeatedly but didn't object. Instead, she hummed a very faint "mm-hmm."

The next day, Yun Che rose early, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He took Xiao Lingxi boating on Daffodil Lake, the most beautiful lake in the Illusory Demon Realm. Even Feng Xian'er was ordered not to approach within ten miles; for that entire day, the lake belonged solely to the two of them.

The lake waters gently rippled, and the small boat moved slowly. Xiao Lingxi snuggled into Yun Che's embrace, not wanting to leave for a moment... or for a lifetime.

As the evening glow painted the sky and night descended, they returned to the Xiao Sect. Xiao Lingxi was held possessively in Yun Che's arms, her beautiful eyes closed. The blush on her fair face was even more radiant than the sunset clouds.

He placed her on the soft bed, letting him untie her dress, caress and revere her perfect body, and...

Not long after, the tightly closed bedroom door opened, and Yun Che emerged alone. He sat on a stone in the courtyard, his face as black as if smeared with coal ash.

These two days were not an accident, nor an end, but merely the beginning!

Initially, he attributed the problem to the location, as the Xiao Sect was where they grew up together and held special emotional significance. So, he shamelessly took Xiao Lingxi to many different places: the Yun Family residence, mountaintops, lakeside, royal palace chambers... even ultimately to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace...

But no matter how affectionate and intimate they were beforehand, even if desire burned so intensely that his blood vessels felt like they would burst... at the very last moment, he would always become impotent.

It was like this every single time.

And this only happened with Xiao Lingxi; it never occurred with anyone else.

To solve this problem, Su Ling'er even came up with a rather terrible idea... she secretly gave Yun Che a very potent aphrodisiac.

The effects of the medicine were such that they should have bypassed any potential psychological blocks.

Under the explosive power of the medicine, Yun Che instantly became a wild beast, consumed by desire and losing all reason... But, to Su Ling'er's utter astonishment, even after tormenting Xiao Lingxi for most of the day, Yun Che completely lost all reaction at the very last moment!

In the end, he only ended up exhausting himself, having to walk carefully for several days afterward.

Afterward, Su Ling'er came up with an even worse idea... she and Xiao Lingxi both faced Yun Che on the same bed.

The result was that he performed perfectly with Su Ling'er, but the moment he turned his attention to Xiao Lingxi, he instantly became flaccid.

Su Ling'er was completely out of ideas... because this was no longer something that could be explained by medical science.

It was as if he were cursed!

"Little Che, it's alright."

After countless failures, Yun Che sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed. Xiao Lingxi gently embraced him from behind, comforting him once more, "As long as I can be with you every day, everything is fine."

Yun Che nodded, then turned to embrace her, but... how could it be fine? It was a huge problem!

What the hell was going on?!

Did I truly have some psychological barrier towards Lingxi that I hadn't realized? It felt more like someone had put a strange curse on me!

Time gradually passed. Over a dozen months had gone by since Yun Che "died" and returned to the Blue Pole Star.

In the vast God Realm, countless dazzling new stars appeared every year. While the fall of a new star might cause lamentation, it would quickly be forgotten as more new stars emerged.

However, Yun Che, a star that had risen so suddenly, was truly too brilliant. Even after his "fall," no one forgot him. After all, he had broken the Upper Star Realm's monopoly on the Conferred God Battle and even attracted the Nine Heavens Tribulation, a phenomenon worthy of being recorded for ten thousand generations.

They did not know that Yun Che was still alive. However, the Yun Che who still existed was no longer the star who had once illuminated the world. On his home planet, he spent his days with his parents and daughter, surrounded by beautiful women, living a life of ease and luxury.

If someone from the God Realm were to see him now, even if they knew Yun Che wasn't dead and recognized his name, they would absolutely not believe he was the same Yun Che who had triumphed in the Conferred God Battle. Not only was he devoid of profound energy, but there was also no trace left of the fierce spirit, determination, and arrogance he had displayed on the Conferred God Stage, where he refused to fall even when critically injured.

The profound beast unrest in the Azure Wind Nation was growing increasingly severe. This month, even the profound beasts in the Ice Hell Snow Region subtly began to show abnormal movements. Outside the Azure Wind Nation, other eastern kingdoms also started experiencing similar situations, as did the Illusory Demon Realm.

Yun Che occasionally learned of these events but never inquired further. The Profound Sky Continent had Feng Xue'er, and the Illusory Demon Realm had the Little Demon Empress. Although the profound beast unrest was strange, it could be easily suppressed. Currently, he was just a carefree playboy; these were not matters for him to worry about.

On the Blue Pole Star, on another continent:

The Cangyun Continent.

This was the world where Yun Che had lived in his previous life. After he found Su Ling'er and brought her father and master, Yun Gu, to the Illusory Demon Realm, he had never set foot there again.

If he were to arrive on this continent at this moment, he would surely be greatly surprised.

Because it had nearly transformed into a world of disaster.

"Roar----"

"Howl----"

Everywhere, profound beasts roared and shrieked with extreme frenzy. Explosions of profound energy and sounds of the earth being destroyed resounded everywhere.

Not in one spot, not in one region, but... across the entire continent!

Humans and beasts were the two primary races on the Cangyun Continent. Humans had their territories, and profound practitioners would only attempt to enter profound beast territories when they needed to train. Compared to humans, profound beasts were more territorial, rarely leaving their domains, and often attacked or expelled humans who entered their areas.

However, this age-old rule of the Cangyun Continent had completely collapsed.

In all regions, all kingdoms, profound beasts — whether formerly docile or fierce — burst out of their territories as if driven mad, attacking every living creature they saw. Even more terrifyingly, powerful profound beasts that had long existed in seclusion within the centers of various forbidden lands also swarmed out, unleashing horrifying and unparalleled disasters upon human territories.

Compared to the Profound Sky Continent and Illusory Demon Realm, where profound beast unrest was currently localized, the Cangyun Continent was already entirely engulfed in disaster. Every day, countless lives were lost beneath the claws of the frenzied profound beasts, and countless lands were reduced to ruins.

Yet, no one knew why this disaster had erupted or when it would end.

On this day, a strange profound ark appeared above the Cangyun Continent.

As the profound ark hovered, four figures appeared below it, their gazes sweeping across the chaotic continent.

The four consisted of three men and one woman. The person standing furthest forward had a middle-aged face with a calm, stern expression. A profound energy aura, incomprehensible to this world, emanated from him.

The other three had youthful faces. The man on the left was tall and stout with a fierce countenance. The man on the right was the complete opposite: seemingly slender, with a pale, handsome face that hinted at a touch of femininity, and tranquil eyes that subtly flickered with a chilling, captivating glint.

The woman in the center had a graceful figure and a face like a peach blossom, exuding a charming allure. She seemed extremely confident in her physique, as her attire was very revealing, exposing her arms and collarbones, and her two long, fair legs were almost entirely bare. Her constantly shifting eyes frequently flickered with a seemingly inherent seductive gaze.

"Oh dear, this little planet looks so miserable," the alluring woman remarked, looking down, her voice soft as cotton and tinged with pity.

"The profound beasts here seem extremely abnormal," the stout man said gravely. Without needing his eyes, his divine profound energy allowed his divine sense to easily spread far across this "extremely low" plane, revealing the abnormally ferocious auras of the profound beasts. He looked up at the middle-aged man in front, "Master, could it be..."

"Hmph!" The leading middle-aged man frowned deeply, his gaze grim. "Such heavy demonic energy. It's truly not a misconception. It seems we've made a great contribution this time."

His words caused the three young people behind him to slightly tremble, their eyes gleaming with unusual light.
