Against the Gods

ple lips.
Then, he reveled in seizing the fragrance and sweetness from her mouth.

“Nng,” Feng Xue’er cried out; the young girl’s shyness and timidness instantly turned into a red afterglow on her snow-white face.

It was already not her first time to have her lips tasted by Yun Che.
After her first kiss was snatched away half a month ago, Yun Che began wanting a mile after taking an inch, as he had to kiss her gently, tyrannically, shamelessly, or even when she was caught off-guard several times a day.
Every time, she could only shyly yield to him… Because in the depths of her heart, she was already someone who was betrothed to Yun Che by her royal father.

Her tender little hands powerlessly pushed Yun Che’s shoulders as she lightly panted, her pair of half-opened eyes were blurred like a fog… If the citizens of Divine Phoenix Empire were to see their Princess Snow, whom they regard as a goddess, was actually being bullied in such a way by a man, it might lead to a riot of the entire empire.

While Feng Xue’er’s consciousness was blurry, she did not sense that her snow dress had already been silently lifted to her waist by a big, restless hand, revealing a pair of jade-like snow-white thighs.
The silk band on her waist had already been removed as well, and with her snow robe pulled down, her finely crafted snow-skinned fragrant shoulders, which were as smooth as oil with a lustrous pink gloss, were revealed, as though the sun was shining upon the frost and snow during winter.

Yun Che’s eyes were entranced, and he was simply unable to hold back the intense throbbing within his body.
His hands were seemingly raised up uncontrollably, and they were placed on Xue’er’s exposed collarbone…

Without the least bit of obstruction, his hands and her skin made contact, causing Feng Xue’er’s beautiful eyes to instantly widen.
Like a startled rabbit, she leapt out of Yun Che’s embrace, panting while the light in her eyes were in disarray…

“I… I’m going to return the snow robe to… to Junior Master Hanyue…”

Feng Xue’er’s face and ears were crimson red.
She tidied up her snow robe, which was pulled apart without her knowing in a fluster, as she ran off in a fleeing manner…

“Haah…” Yun Che was a bit dejected as he flopped onto the ice bed.

“You actually have yet to succeed.
Aren’t you afraid of losing terribly under Fen Juechen’s hands!?” Jasmine coldly said.
“There isn’t the slightest bit of rejection towards you in Feng Xue’er’s heart and soul.
If you’re a little bit more forceful, you should have long obtained her phoenix vital yin.”

“I obviously can’t do that!” Yun Che shook his head, muttering, “Matters like this must come gradually.
Xue’er treats me with a pure heart.
If I were to do it your way, I might frighten or even hurt her.
Furthermore, obtaining her phoenix vital yin in order to exchange blows with Fen Juechen would make me feel as though I’m hurting and using Xue’er for my own benefits.
I can’t do that… This is a matter of principles.”

“Principles?” Jasmine snorted and coldly smiled.
“When it comes to matters concerning women, you actually have the nerve to talk about principles… Hmph.
As expected, your face is even thicker than a city wall.”

“Heheh.
Jasmine is still the one who is most familiar with the mere few good points that I possess.” Yun Che revealed a cheap smile.

“…But looking at you, you don’t seem to be worried about the battle with Fen Juechen.”

“I guess you can say that.
After all, that guy, Fen Juechen, has a very big weakness in his personality,” Yun Che calmly said as he closed his eyes.

“A weakness in his personality? You’re referring to…”

“Ji Qianrou of Supreme Ocean Palace requests to see Frozen Cloud Asgard Master Yun Che!”

At this moment, a light voice, which carried a hint of softness and gentleness in it, sounded from outside.
Yun Che instantly stood up from the ice bed.
“Ji Qianrou?”

Why would he come here?

…Could it be that the person who would come to invite him to the Devil Sword Conference, whom Zi Ji had spoken of before, was referring to Ji Qianrou?

From outside the door, Murong Qianxue’s voice reverberated, “Asgard Master, there’s a strange person outside the the asgard gate wanting to see you, claiming that he comes from Supreme Ocean Palace.”

Yun Che stood up and walked out of the Ice Pavilion.
Seeing Murong Qianxue and Mu Lanyi were currently standing there with heavy expressions, he hurriedly said, “Senior Masters, there’s no need to worry, and there’s no need to be vigilant either.
He is one of my acquaintances, and the reason he’s here should be to send me something.
Once I pick it up, I will return quickly.
Tell Xue’er and the rest to not worry as well.”

After saying that, Yun Che flew in the air and headed towards the asgard gate.

“Someone from Supreme Ocean Palace… Asgard Master, please be careful,” Murong Qianxue and Mu Lanyi said in unison.
Although Yun Che had already said there wasn’t a need to worry… that person was still someone from the Sacred Grounds.

The moment he left Frozen Cloud Asgard, Yun Che saw that figure in front of the asgard gate.
Dressed in an extraordinary white robe, his sleeves fluttered amidst the cold winds.
He had masculine good looks, and his eyes were like the autumn waters, bearing a charm that was out of this world… This was a man who possessed beauty that could be described as beautiful to the point where even women would be envious of him.

Jade-faced Demon Monarch—Ji Qianrou.

Yun Che moved forward and gently cupped his fists.
“Junior Yun Che greets Senior Ji.
It’s been three years since we last met, and as expected, Senior Ji’s demeanor has grown more than before.”

Ji Qianrou’s pair of delicate eyes were like peach blossoms, though they seem to carry a hint of bitterness.
“If we’re talking about demeanor, when compared to Little Cheche, I’m quite far behind~”

After hearing Ji Qianrou’s voice again after three years, Yun Che’s hair still stood on end as goosebumps spread all over his body.
The moment Ji Qianrou’s voice fell, he reached out his right hand, and with a light twist of his scallion-like jade finger, a faint blue petal came out of nowhere.
Following the gentle wave of his finger, it lightly floated towards Yun Che.

The faint blue petal looked no different from a regular petal.
It slowly approached Yun Che, as though it was being blown by a gentle breeze.
The cold winds here were wild and rampant, yet it did not influence the flight path of the petal.
Rather… the cold winds that approached it seemed to have been absorbed into a large invisible swirl, disappearing without a trace.

As the petal approached, Yun Che’s face was still filled with smiles.
Directly reaching out his fingers, he casually caught the petal between two of his fingers, and then held it within his hand.
When he opened his palm again, the petal had already disappeared without a trace… There wasn’t a single sound throughout the entire process, nor was there even the least bit of movement of profound energy.

“Thank you for your gift, Senior Ji,” Yun Che said with a smile.

“Haah.” Ji Qianrou once again let out a light, bitter sigh.
“As expected, Little Cheche is the same as the rumors say.
It’s only been three years since we last met, yet you have already thrown me far behind.
In the future, I’m afraid I can’t even enter Little Cheche’s eyes.”

“~！@#￥%…” Yun Che maintained his smile with all his might, however, his tone was especially sincere.
“This junior has never dared to forget Senior Ji’s saving grace at the Primordial Profound Ark three years ago.
If there’s anything I can repay Senior Ji with, this junior will definitely spare no efforts to do so.”

The light in Ji Qianrou’s eyes swirled, flickering with a touch of surprise.
Then, he gave a delicate smile.
“Back then, what I did at the Primordial Profound Ark was merely playing a game with Little Hanhan, and at the same time, returning a favor of yours.
It isn’t as exaggerated as you make it out to be, so there’s no need to bring up matters of repaying me.
Returning things like favors back and forth is just too annoying.
This time, I’m here especially under the orders of our Supreme Ocean Palace Great Elder to pass something to Little Cheche.”
