____________________________
Ren Zu deepened the kiss, capturing her lips with an urgency that was hard to ignore. His tongue explored her soft and warm one with slow, possessive movements, as if he wanted to etch her sweet taste into his soul. At the same time, his large and firm hands began to roam her body calmly, sliding down her back in light touches that sent shivers down her spine. His fingers traced the graceful curve of her column, feeling the immaculate and pale skin like virgin snow, smooth as fresh silk, without a single imperfection to break that almost unreal perfection.
With delicacy, he pulled back the white sheet, revealing her centimeter by centimeter. First, her delicate shoulders emerged; then, her full and rounded breasts, firm like ripe fruits, with pink nipples that hardened with excitement. Next, her flat and toned belly; her curvaceous hips tapering into long and slender legs, the skin faintly glistening in the fireplace light, as if polished by divine hands. Each touch was an electric caress. The warmth of his palms contrasted with her natural coolness, making her arch instinctively against him, her body reacting with a surprising internal heat, as if every cell begged for more....
Ren Zu broke the kiss for a brief moment, his black eyes locked onto hers with a lustful desire that was hard to hide. Then, he lowered his lips to her delicate neck, brushing the sensitive skin, nibbling lightly at the elegant curve where her pulse beat rapidly. Waves of pleasure coursed through her body, drawing a low sigh from her. The descent continued slowly and deliberately: kisses along her collarbone, until reaching her large and voluptuous breasts.
He captured one of the pink nipples with his mouth, sucking it gently while his tongue swirled in lazy circles around the hardened bud, applying pressure that sent sparks of pleasure radiating from her chest to her belly, hot and intoxicating like immortal wine.
He alternated between the two breasts, his hands squeezing them with controlled firmness, feeling the soft weight mold to his palms. The swollen nipples responded to each lick with pulses of sensitivity that left her breathless, her body arching even more, as if wanting to merge with his.
"Ah~, Husband...." Xia Qingyue moaned softly, her half-closed eyes fixed on his figure, while the blush spread across her perfect face.
"Husband… I… would like to serve you..." She murmured, her voice hoarse, laden with passionate submission.
"Is that so? You had just said I could do anything with you, and now you're changing your mind...?"
"N-no, Qingyue just wants to fulfill her duties as a wife. She is all yours, husband..." Xia Qingyue blushed and looked away timidly.
"I'll let you fulfill your duties then...." Ren Zu smiled lightly. His eyes darkened with lust upon hearing those words, a clear gleam of approval crossing his gaze. He lay back slowly against the pillows, his body relaxing, inviting her with a subtle gesture.
Xia Qingyue climbed over him with feline grace, revealing her absolute nudity. Her pale skin glistened in the firelight; her breasts swayed lightly with the movement, and her hips settled over his in a way that made him throb with anticipation. She began to kiss the upper part of his body with fervor, her lips tracing a descending trail down his neck, nibbling at his collarbone before descending over his defined chest. She licked his firm muscles and prominent veins with devotion, as if each touch were a prayer directed to the god he represented to her.
Her hands explored with reverence, feeling the hot and hard texture of his skin, his abdominals contracting under each caress. His body seemed to her like a living work of art, something that fascinated and excited her in equal measure.
She continued descending, the kisses becoming more urgent, until she carefully pulled down his pants. The fabric slid down under her trembling hands, revealing his enormous member, already completely rigid like stone, erect, throbbing, thick as her fist. Prominent veins ran along its impressive length, and the pink, swollen head glistened with pre-cum, a sight that left her breathless and hypnotized.
Without hesitation, she began to lick it softly, as she had learned over the time they spent together. Her tongue drew slow circles around the head, savoring the salty and addictive taste, then descending in long, wet licks along the thick length, feeling the veins pulse against her tongue while the heat radiated like liquid fire. Gradually, she tried to take him into her mouth, opening her lips as wide as possible to accommodate the thickness, sucking with a glazed and passionate look, her dark eyes as clear as still water fixed on his....
"Mmm~..." Her hot and wet mouth enveloped him as much as she could, moving in a careful rhythm. The sensation surprised her; she had never imagined it could be so pleasurable. Her husband had already explained that it was because of his unique physique—each touch, each drop, became an irresistible addiction. Even when he spilled into her mouth and she swallowed everything, that white and thick liquid seemed like a celestial elixir, sweet and energizing, nourishing body and soul with a feeling of fullness and continuous desire.....
She continued to serve him with the best of her abilities, her mouth sliding up and down the enormous length, her hands helping to massage the thick base that couldn't fit completely. Saliva dripped from the corners of her lips as she sucked with enthusiasm, muffled moans vibrating around him, the pleasure growing with each movement, as if serving him were the pinnacle of her existence.
Ren Zu held her silky smooth hair and gathered it into an improvised bun with one hand, the black strands flowing between his fingers like nighttime water, and began to guide the rhythm, thrusting into her mouth with gentle but firm strokes. He found that still-imperfect surrender delicious: the inexperience mixed with genuine willingness, her tongue moving clumsily but fervently, her lips stretched to the limit around the thickness, creating a hot and wet suction that made him moan lowly, the pleasure rising in electric waves up his spine.
His gaze lowered to her white and perfect ass, perked up as she devoted herself to him. The rounded buttocks, soft like fresh snow, trembled slightly with each movement, the immaculate skin glistening in the fireplace light. Between them, the pink valley pulsed subtly; just below, her swollen and wet intimacy dripped translucent nectar down her thighs, a vision of corrupted purity that ignited a primal desire. The simple image made his imagination burn—the softness of that ass against his hips, the tight heat he longed to possess—amplifying every suction, every movement.
Unable to contain himself, he adjusted fluidly until he was sitting, his defined body leaning forward while his free hand closed on her white and perfect ass with possessiveness. His fingers sank into the soft and rounded flesh like fresh snow, feeling the subtle firmness hidden beneath the smoothness, a combination that made him feel even more desire. The immaculate skin trembled slightly under his touch, hot and responsive, as if instinctively craving more.
He squeezed her ass with controlled force, his thumbs tracing the full curve where her thighs met. Waves of pleasure coursed through her body, making her arch involuntarily. Then, he gave a gentle slap.
Pah!
The sound echoed lowly inside the cabin, a dull smack that left a reddish, burning mark on her pale skin.
"Ahh~" The reaction was immediate: she moaned around his cock, the muffled sound vibrating around the thickness and intensifying the pleasure that rose like electric sparks up his spine, while the hot and wet tightness of her mouth became even more intense with the shock.
With his other hand, Ren Zu continued to guide the rhythm, thrusting deeper into her hot and wet mouth. The sensation was overwhelming—the firm suction, her tongue moving clumsily but full of fervor, her lips stretched to the limit around the thickness, creating an addictive grip that made him grunt lowly.
"Mmm... Keep going like that, Qingyue..."
The pleasure rose in electric waves up his spine; each of her movements was a wet and sticky caress that brought him closer to the edge, while the pre-cum mixed with saliva in a salty and intoxicating flavor that made her salivate even more.
While she continued to serve him with dedication, muffled moans escaping with each slap received, Ren Zu stopped squeezing her ass with his free hand and brought his fingers to her swollen and sensitive clit. He traced light circles around the pink jewel, feeling it pulse under his touch like a racing heart. The translucent nectar dripped in greater quantity down her pale and glistening thighs, the hot and viscous moisture lubricating his fingers as he played with her wonderful pussy. The outer lips, soft and swollen, opened to his touch like the petals of a wet flower. He inserted two fingers into the hot and tight folds, stretching her with slow, rhythmic movements.
"Mmmph~! Ahh~!"
The reaction was intense: she arched her back, moaning louder around his cock, the sounds vibrating like waves of pleasure that pushed him even closer to ecstasy. Her body trembled with each penetration of his fingers, the inner walls gripping them like a wet velvet vise, pulsing in spasms that sent sparks of delight through her entire body. The pleasure mixed in a whirlwind that left her breathless and desperate for more....
After playing enough with her clit, pressing and circling with increasing intensity, Ren Zu stopped and brought his thumb to gently play with her little ass. He traced circles around the pink and tight ring, virgin and delicate like a still-closed flower. He felt the instinctive contraction at the new touch, the sensitive skin pulsing under the light pressure, the orifice contracting and relaxing in response, sending unexpected shivers through her entire body.
Xia Qingyue froze for an instant. Her eyes widened in surprise; that was a place her husband had not yet touched. The pleasure mixed with a twinge of nervousness, making her stop sucking. She withdrew her mouth from the enormous cock with a wet and sticky sound, saliva dripping from the corners of her pink and swollen lips as she panted, the cool air of the cabin contrasting with the hot wetness of her mouth.
"Husband… there… what are you doing…?" She asked, her voice trembling and hoarse. The blush deepened on her face as she stared at him with a mixture of curiosity, desire, and hesitation.
Ren Zu smiled.
"I'd like to try putting my cock in there, Qingyue..." He replied calmly, his voice low and laden with promise. His fingers continued tracing gentle circles to relax her, feeling the tight contraction and the virgin heat that made him salivate with anticipation.
She was startled. Her clear eyes widened even more at the thought of his size invading that virgin and tight place. The vision intimidated her, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Still, the desire in his gaze and the trust she felt in him kept her willing to try. Her body reacted to the touch with shivers of expectation.
"Are… are you sure, husband? It's so big… will it fit…?" She murmured, her voice low, laden with hesitation and growing curiosity. Despite the initial fear, there was willingness in her words. Her little ass contracted involuntarily under his finger, sending unexpected sparks of pleasure that made her gasp.
Ren Zu nodded, his smile deepening. His black eyes remained fixed on hers, conveying a reassuring certainty.
"I am, my wife. It will be incredible for both of us."
As he spoke, he remembered how long it had taken to convince the Little Demon Empress to try that. She had resisted for days. However, when she finally gave in, the pleasure consumed her completely, turning it into one of her favorite experiences, something she began to request frequently—he believed she seemed to have a fetish for it.
And seeing that Xia Qingyue seemed willing to accept, he immediately wanted to claim that wonderful ass of hers...
"Get on all fours at the edge of the bed, Qingyue," he murmured, his voice low and commanding, laden with promise. "Turn that perfect ass outward… let me prepare you properly."
Xia Qingyue obeyed without hesitation. Her body trembled with expectation as she positioned herself on all fours at the edge of the luxurious bed, her hands supported on the soft sheets, her knees sinking into the mattress. Her ass perked up outward like an irresistible offering, rounded and soft like fresh snow, the immaculate skin glistening in the fireplace light; the valley between her buttocks slightly open, showing her swollen and wet pussy dripping translucent nectar down her pale thighs...
She felt the cool air of the cabin brush her exposed skin, contrasting with the internal heat consuming her. Her heart pounded hard in her chest as she waited, her pink little ass contracting involuntarily in anticipation.
Ren Zu positioned himself behind her, standing on the floor. The muscles in his legs and abdomen contracted with the movement, and his enormous cock, erect and throbbing, brushed lightly against the curve of her ass as he approached. He knelt a little, his large hands parting her buttocks with gentle firmness, revealing the virgin little ass and the glistening pussy. The subtle and intoxicating aroma of her arousal spread through the air.
"Relax, my wife… I'll get you ready first...."
Finishing saying that, he plunged his tongue into her wet pussy, licking the outer lips, soft and swollen, with long, wet movements. His tongue traced circles around the swollen clit, sucking it gently while exploring the hot and sticky inner folds.
Xia Qingyue arched her back, a moan escaping loudly from her lips.
"Ahh~! Husband… yes… mmm~!"
The pleasure rose like electric waves through her body, making her toes curl against the sheets.
Ren Zu continued with skill, his tongue delving deeper into the wet folds, alternating precise suctions on the clit that made her tremble.
"Ohh~! More… ahh~!"
Her body convulsed in the first orgasm.
Waves of ecstasy coursed through her like tsunamis, the nectar gushing in a hot wave that he licked avidly, prolonging the climax until a second one hit her, more intense.
Her body writhed violently.
"Ahhh~! Husband… I… I'm… cumming~!"
She became even wetter, her arousal reaching delirious levels.
When he realized she was well aroused and relaxed, Ren Zu rose. His enormous cock glistened with saliva and pre-cum as he positioned the thick and swollen head against her virgin little ass, rubbing gently to spread the moisture.
"I'm going in now, Qingyue… relax as much as possible and breathe deeply..." He warned, his voice hoarse with desire.
In preparation for that, Ren Zu activated to the maximum the "stimulating energy" of his unique body.
With one hand, he held her ass, parting the soft and firm buttocks; with the other, he guided his cock, pushing slowly. The initial pressure stretched the tight ring, a burning that quickly turned into sparks of ecstasy under the effect of the energy. The colossal thickness slipped a few times, too large to enter easily.
"Ahh~… husband… slowly…" She moaned.
He persisted with patience and firmness until the pink head finally entered with a subtle pop, stretching her to the limit. The pink ring closed around him like a hot and tight vise.
In that instant, Xia Qingyue's mind dissolved into pleasure.
The energy coursed through her entire body, making her roll her eyes in absolute ecstasy.
"Ahhhh~! Husband… this… is… too much~! Ohh~!"
Waves of liquid fire and electricity flooded her from the inside out. Every nerve seemed to sing in unison, her body trembling violently as her little ass gripped the intrusion in rhythmic spasms. Pain and delight merged into something transcendental, her body convulsing as if being pierced by discharges of pleasure.....
Ren Zu also moaned lowly. The virgin and hot grip enveloped him with crushing intensity, tighter than any other sensation, like a living velvet vise. The primal pleasure rose up his spine like molten lava.
Hearing her moans, he took them as an invitation. He inserted himself slowly to the hilt, centimeter by centimeter, stretching her beyond imagination. The throbbing veins brushed against the sensitive inner walls, drawing moans from both.
"Mmm… so tight, Qingyue…"
He squeezed her ass hard, his fingers sinking into the soft flesh, still warm from the previous spankings. When he finally filled her completely, his groin pressing firmly against her ass, Xia Qingyue let out a loud and uncontrolled moan.
"Ahhhh~! Husband… so deep…"
The pleasure consumed her entirely. Her little ass contracted in violent spasms around him, and an immediate orgasm hit her, making her roll her eyes once more. Tears of ecstasy streamed from the corners as she surrendered completely, her moans echoing through the cabin like a distant contrast to the snowy valley outside....
Ren Zu began to thrust slowly, his enormous cock sliding in and out of the virgin little ass in controlled, rhythmic movements. Each slow withdrawal revealed the thick length, glistening with moisture and pre-cum, while each thrust stretched her again.
The throbbing veins brushed against the tight inner walls in constant friction that sent raw waves of pleasure through both.
The grip was indescribable and as hot as fire that suffocated him in hot and sticky delights, tighter than anything he had ever felt, making him moan softly: "Mmm... so good, Qingyue...".
He squeezed her ass hard, his fingers sinking into the soft and rounded flesh, parting the buttocks to behold the sight before him. The pink little ass was stretched to the limit around his enormous thickness, the tight ring contracting and relaxing in visible spasms, the pale skin trembling with each movement. The cock disappeared centimeter by centimeter inside her in a deep penetration. Just below, nectar dripped from her pussy, creating an erotic and glistening mess that ran down her immaculate thighs.
Xia Qingyue moaned in a mixture of pain and pleasure, her body trembling violently beneath him. The initial burning of the virgin little ass transformed into sparks of indescribable ecstasy thanks to the stimulating energy flowing from him, filling her like an addictive elixir that erased any discomfort. Only waves of liquid fire pulsing from her center to her entire body remained.
"Ahh~! It hurts... but... it's good... ahh~! Husband... faster... please~!", she begged, her voice hoarse and broken. Her clear eyes rolled slightly as the pleasure consumed her. Her little ass gripped around him in rhythmic spasms that sent shocks up her spine, and the absolute fullness made her feel as if she were being split in half and rebuilt in pure pleasure. Her legs trembled, her toes curled against the sheets, and nectar flowed in greater abundance from her untouched pussy as her body arched instinctively to meet him.
Ren Zu obeyed her request, accelerating the rhythm with stronger and deeper thrusts. His enormous cock plunged into the tight little ass with relentless force, and each thrust echoed in a rhythmic slap of flesh against flesh.
Pah! Pah!
Her ass rippled like waves on a stirred lake, the soft and rounded buttocks trembling and shaking with each collision. The pale skin gained reddish tones from the previous spankings, composing a hypnotic vision that excited him even more.
"Ahh~! Like that... moan for me, Qingyue...".
He pulled her by the hair with one hand, the black and silky strands flowing between his fingers like nighttime silk, forcing her head down against the bed and arching her back even more. Her body surrendered completely as he pounded hard, his cock stretching her to the limit with each thrust, brushing sensitive inner points that made her scream.
"Ohh~! Husband... more... ahhh~! Qingyue is all yours to fuck~!".
Multiple orgasms hit her in succession. The first exploded like a bomb of ecstasy, making her little ass grip violently around him, milking him in rhythmic spasms that sent sparks through her entire body. Her mind shattered into fragments of delirious pleasure.
"Ahhhh~! Cumming... again~! Mmmph~!".
The second came right after, even more intense. Waves of liquid fire coursed through like tsunamis, leaving her drooling on the sheets, her eyes rolling back until they were pure white. The pleasure was so overwhelming that it erased any rational thought. Her body convulsed uncontrollably, tears of ecstasy streaming down her perfect face as she moaned without control.
"Yes~! Fuck my little ass... ahh~... please~!".
Releasing her hair, which fell like an undone cascade over her shoulders, he began to squeeze her ass with both hands. His fingers sank into the soft and reddened flesh as he felt the tremor of each thrust, and then he spanked her hard.
Pah! Pah!
Each spank echoed like erotic thunder, leaving red marks that burned deliciously and amplified her ecstasy even more, until she screamed louder.
"Ahh~! Spank... more~! Hurt me... ohh~!".
His pleasure reached its peak as he pounded with fury, his hips colliding against her rippling ass in a brutal rhythm. Then, with a final deep thrust that filled her to the limit, he came inside her little ass. The hot and thick milk spurted in pulsing waves, filling the virgin orifice until it overflowed, white and creamy strands dripping down the pink valley and the pussy below.
The indescribable heat made her reach a final mind-blowing orgasm.
"Ahhhh~! Husband... inside... filling... cumming~! Ohh~! Yes... more milk... ahh~!".
Her body convulsed violently as her mind shattered completely into fragments of pure ecstasy.
Ren Zu withdrew his cock slowly, the enormous member sliding out of the dilated little ass with a wet and sticky sound.
Schlop!
When he pulled out his cock, all that was left behind was a sensation of emptiness that made her gasp and tremble, her body still convulsing from the remnants of the final orgasm. He looked down and beheld the sight: the pink little ass, now dilated and reddened from the brutal thrusts, dripping white and thick semen in viscous, creamy strands that ran down the valley between her buttocks, mixing with the translucent nectar from the pussy just below.
The orifice refused to close completely, pulsing and contracting in visible spasms, as if still craving to be filled again. The pale skin around it was marked by the red impressions of his hands, composing an image of absolute purity corrupted and possessed, something that still made him throb with residual desire. The hot semen leaked slowly down her immaculate thighs, creating an erotic and glistening mess under the flickering light of the fireplace.
She remained on all fours, her perfect body trembling uncontrollably, her legs weak and shaky, her face pressed against the sweat-dampened sheets. Tears of ecstasy dried slowly on her flushed cheeks, while she panted as if she had just run a marathon of pleasure. Her mind was fragmented in delight, and her little ass winked empty, sensitive and burning in a deliciously intense way, making her moan even without any direct touch.
"Ahh~... husband... so... full... mmm~..."
Ren Zu then decided to shift focus, his cock still hard and throbbing, glistening with semen and moisture. He positioned the thick head against the pink and swollen entrance of her pussy, rubbing slowly against the soft and soaked outer lips, feeling the hot and viscous nectar drip around him like an irresistible invitation. With a slow and deep thrust, he inserted himself inside her, stretching the tight and sensitive inner walls after the recent orgasms.
His enormous cock filled her completely, the veins brushing against the hot and sticky folds in friction that made her react immediately. Her body convulsed once more, the pleasure amplified by the post-orgasmic sensitivity, as if every inch of him were an electric spark exploding in her center. The contrast between the little ass still dripping semen and the new filling intensified the waves of delight that coursed through her like tsunamis, leaving her breathless, arching her back to meet him.
"Ahhhh~! Husband... Qingyue is sensitive... ahh~! So good... mmm~!"
"Ohh~! Fuck... more... please~!"
Ren Zu grunted in pleasure, the hot and wet grip of her pussy suffocating him in familiar but still intense delights. He began to thrust in an increasing rhythm, his hips colliding against her ass in rhythmic slaps,
Pah! Pah!
He was feeling the pleasure rise like liquid fire up his spine. His hands squeezed the soft and reddened ass as he pounded hard, prolonging the ecstasy of both inside the heated cabin, while the snowy valley outside remained just a distant backdrop to the endless echoing moans.
"I'm going to fuck you all night, Qingyue... until you beg for mercy~"
.
.
.
.
.
The sensation came without warning.
Yun Che shuddered mid-step.
It was as if something had been forcibly ripped from his chest, not suddenly, but slowly, insistently, leaving behind a cold void that spread through his heart like poison. His face paled almost instantly, the blood seeming to drain from his features as a suffocating pressure built in his chest.
He brought his hand to his heart by reflex.
"…What…?"
That sensation again.
In the last few days, it had been appearing with disturbing frequency. Always the same: a deep tightness, accompanied by an indefinable loss, as if something of extreme importance had moved away from him… or been taken. Sometimes, he even felt a strange sensation in his head, as if something had been born there.....
Yun Che took a deep breath, trying to compose himself, but the air seemed too heavy to enter his lungs. His steps slowed until he stopped completely.
He was in the central square of the Yun Family, having spent the entire night learning the family's profound art....
It had been almost two months since he arrived in this world that was initially unknown to him. The Primordial Profound Ark had undergone eighteen months of space travel… it was space travel, not simple flight! And even if it were the most basic flight, in an entire period of eighteen months, it would be enough to travel through who knows how many continents at its speed? Thus, with eighteen months of space travel, who knew what corner of the boundless universe he would end up in… the distance from the Profound Sky Continent must be an incomparably frightening astronomical distance! He remembered how surprised he had been to learn that he was in the Illusory Demon Realm that he knew, and that it was on the same star as the Profound Sky Continent and Azure Cloud Continent.
But in the end, the surprise itself mattered little. What really shook him was something much deeper: he had finally found his blood family. He had finally met his father and mother!
It all started right after he left the Profound Ark, when he saved a Yun Family disciple who was about to be killed by a Profound Beast. In gratitude, the disciple insisted on taking him to the family's residence. Along the way, he explained to him about the Illusory Demon Realm and the Yun Family itself. That conversation left him deeply impacted and curious, since he never thought he would end up in the Illusory Demon Realm he knew; after asking several questions, he finally accepted that he had arrived here!
Through the Yun Family disciple, he discovered that in the past, the Yun Family had fallen into decline due to events that occurred a hundred years ago, happenings that led his biological grandfather to be trapped in the Profound Sky Continent. However, everything had changed with the emergence of the Young Patriarch, Yun Ren Zu, who had rebuilt the Yun Family, which was now almost equivalent to the Royal Family of the Illusory Demon Realm!
After finally finding his blood parents, the whole truth about what happened in the year he was abandoned in the Profound Sky Continent came to light.
What really left him stunned was discovering the existence of a "brother" he had never known, since he was the son of Xiao Ying who adopted him in the Profound Sky Continent and a blood grandson of his grandfather and relative of his Little Aunt; all of this was quite a surprise.
Even more so upon discovering that this adoptive brother had saved the Little Demon Empress… and become the Demon King of the continent, the absolute ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm. He had heard countless legends about this, so many that even common people spoke of that man with almost religious reverence, as if he were a living god. That left him deeply uncomfortable.....
To make everything even stranger, his own blood parents showed a deep and unconditional love for this son. He had not yet met the Little Demon Empress personally, but he knew she was considered the number one beauty of the entire continent, and that his brother was also married to her....
Furthermore, he discovered that both the Little Demon Empress and his adoptive brother were pointed out as profound practitioners in the Divine Profound Realm. However, according to Jasmine, this information was only partially true. With her sharp senses, she had clearly perceived the profound aura of the Little Demon Empress, ascertaining that she was only half a step from the Divine Way. Still, Jasmine showed particular interest in his adoptive brother, wishing to verify personally if the rumors about him corresponded, in fact, to reality....
Even he felt somewhat curious to meet the man known as the "Number One Doctor Under the Heavens." After all, what he prided himself on most were precisely his medical skills, and knowing that someone had conquered the title of greatest doctor under the heavens awakened in him not just curiosity, but also a strong desire to prove that he was far superior.
Yun Che shook his head hard, as if he could shake that sensation out of his own body.
He inhaled deeply, once, twice, forcing his chest to expand despite the uncomfortable weight still pressing on his heart. The void diminished a little, but did not disappear completely. It was like a persistent shadow, stuck to his mind.
"Damn…" he murmured lowly.
"Again?" Jasmine's cold and clear voice sounded in his mind, without hiding the slight trace of impatience. "That strange sensation. You've been getting too distracted lately."
Yun Che frowned as he resumed his step, crossing the Yun Family square with a thoughtful expression.
"I know." He responded mentally. "But even I don't understand the reason for it."
Jasmine remained silent for an instant, observing through his senses. "You don't seem to be sick, and I don't sense any external interference. Are you worried about the people in the Profound Sky Continent...?"
Yun Che clenched his fists. "At first, I thought it was something happening in the Profound Sky Continent. Maybe some chain reaction, some omen linked to my destiny or the enemies there."
He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"But it's not just that. This sensation… is strange, somehow I feel like something very important to me has been stolen...."
He raised his gaze, observing the familiar buildings of the Yun Family, everything so solid, so real, so peaceful. His parents were there. His blood home was there. Still, that sensation insisted on reminding him that something important was out of his reach.
"Maybe it's linked to that so-called 'brother.'" Jasmine commented, in a tone too casual to be disinterested. "The Young Patriarch. Yun Ren Zu. He basically stole the life that was meant for you here in the Illusory Demon Realm...."
The name echoed in Yun Che's mind like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
"…I've thought about that too." He admitted. "But it doesn't make sense. I've never met him. We've never exchanged even a word. Still, every time I hear stories about him, or think about that absurd title of 'Demon King'… my heart gets restless."
Jasmine laughed softly. "Maybe it's simple envy."
Yun Che twisted the corner of his mouth. "If it were just that, I'd recognize it."
He took a deep breath once more, recomposing his expression.
"Anyway, it doesn't help to keep dwelling on it. Sooner or later, I'll meet him. And when that happens… this sensation will give me answers. Whether I like them or not."
Jasmine remained silent, but did not disagree.
