H-how… How did you get in here?” Yun Che’s brain lagged for a second, and even stuttered as he spoke.
“Weren’t you the one who told me to come?” The white-clothed goddess’s charming eyes turned as she emotionlessly replied.
“But, aren’t you too… fast!” Yun Che silently swallowed down a mouthful of saliva…. Holy smokes! It wasn’t weird for her to be able to silently enter the Middle Palace. However, the Inner Palace’s entrance had an extremely strong warding seal, as well as elder-ranked figures of the Profound Palace keeping watch all day and night. She was actually able to enter just like this, and was even faster than he, himself!
The Blue Wind Profound Palace belonged exclusively to the Imperial Family, and had existed for thousand of years. Other than Qin Wushang, there must also be other masters of the Sky Profound Realm who stood guard; yet she evaded the eyes and ears of everyone in the Profound Palace, and came here as if entering a place bereft of anyone…. Could the difference between someone half a step into Emperor Profound Realm and someone of the Sky Profound Realm actually be this great?
“When will you start the detoxification?” The white clothed goddess obviously didn’t want to speak with him much, and spoke coldly.
Yun Che walked in and closed the door. He thought for a bit then said: “We can start right now. However, you’ve also first-handedly experienced how powerful this Ice Poison of Origin is. It couldn’t be detoxified even with your profound strength; surely, you also understand that detoxifying it is definitely not an easy task. You and I are strangers, if I were to just detoxify the poison for you without any reason like this, I trust that you wouldn’t feel at ease either. And as for myself, I am also not selfless to that extent.”
“I’ve said before, I’ll repay you greatly.”
“What kind of great repayment?”
“…What do you need?” As the white-clothed goddess spoke, her gaze revealed a kind of bone-piercing chill from beginning to end. It was like a never melting ten thousand year old profound ice atop a snowy mountain.
“I want you to agree to three of my requests!” Yun Che said bluntly. Not waiting for the goddess to reveal a scowl, he continued to explain right away: “But don’t you worry, I am definitely not a person who would force someone to do something they don’t want to do. These three requests I have would never violate any of your principles or conscience. They especially would not be mixed in with any criminal activity, greed and the like, and would never harm any of your interests. Not only that, if you ever feel like any request is too much, you can immediately turn it down.
“Are you certain that you can completely detoxify the poison in my body?” When the white-clothed goddess heard him say “three requests”, her beautiful eyes distinctively became even more coldly penetrating. Only after hearing his following words, did they finally somewhat ease up.
“Not very confident.” Yun Che said: “Probably around 99.999%. Because during the process, I can’t guarantee that a bolt of lightning would not suddenly come from the heavens and strike me to death.”
It was a sudden sick joke, but it did not raise any trace of emotion from the goddess in front of him. What answered him was only a flat, ice-cold word: “Speak.”
“Then I’m going to say it….” Yun Che silently pouted in a dull demeanor, and secretly thought in his heart: Even though Qingyue my wife also has an ice-cold personality, she is still a sixteen year old young girl in the end, and would at least have some kind of reaction when teased. This little fairy… is simply just a chunk of profound ice! The difficulty to melt her open is abnormally high…
“The first request, is for you to tell me your name.” Yun Che said in all seriousness: “This should be something that couldn’t be any easier, right?”
The goddess went silent for a bit, then shook her head: “No.”
“Hey hey! Even though your appearance is as beautiful as an goddess, you still can’t be so stingy. If I detoxified the poison on your body, I’ll be considered as half your savior, yet you actually wouldn’t even tell me your name! I’ve already told you my name a long time ago. If nothing else, you wouldn’t even tell me your name, how am I supposed to call you?” Yun Che disgruntledly clamored.
