Although Jasmine had a flood of questions in her mind, the most important thing right now was to et Yun Wuji and confirm that he was safe. She could ask everything else once she saw him in person.
But first, she needed to make sure these two won weren't lying. "What is your relationship with him?"
Mu Xuanyin didn't say anything. Instead, she calmly took out the sa Imagery Stone she had shown to Luo Guxie.
Jasmine looked at the projection, Yun Wuji and Mu Xuanyin cuddling close, looking like a perfect pair. Her eyelid twitched.
"Oh, right... What else could I expect from him?" she muttered with a tired sigh. She should've guessed it the mont she saw these two. With how that bastard was, of course, he'd seduce a woman like Mu Xuanyin.
But still... why did it feel so sour seeing them like this?
Damn it! That should've been her!
She shook her head and pushed down the wave of jealousy bubbling in her chest. Now wasn't the ti. With a calm voice, she asked, "Where is he now?"
"Divine Phoenix Sect," Mu Xuanyin replied while putting the Imagery Stone away, her tone as cold as ever. From Jasmine's reaction, it was already clear what kind of relationship she shared with Yun Wuji. No wonder he asked her to look for this woman personally.
"He is in your sect?! Why didn't you say it earlier?!!!" Luo Guxie's eyes turned red with fury as she spun toward Mu Xuanyin, her voice almost trembling from anger. She had been barely holding herself back this whole ti, thinking Yun Wuji was in so obscure, hidden place, and it was Mu Xuanyin who kept insisting they find Jasmine first.
And she listened! She actually listened!
But in the end, Yun Wuji was in the Snow Song Realm all along?!
This woman tricked her! No... technically, she didn't lie. She just refused to answer.
But that didn't change the fact that she deliberately kept her from seeing him sooner!
"Because in your current state, you would've rushed straight to him and attracted unnecessary attention," Mu Xuanyin replied coldly, her icy blue eyes sweeping over Luo Guxie with a calm gaze.
This woman's ntal state was a complete ss. One mont she'd burst out laughing for no reason, the next she'd be growling like a beast, and then suddenly she'd start crying. She was borderline insane. If it weren't for Yun Wuji's personal request, Mu Xuanyin wouldn't have bothered getting involved with soone this unstable.
"You..." Luo Guxie's chest rose and fell with anger. If she could beat Mu Xuanyin, she would've slapped her on the spot!
"Enough. Don't start a fight now, the most important thing is seeing Yun Wuji," Jasmine cut in, she wasn't interested in watching two of his lovers fight
"...Fine," Luo Guxie took a deep breath and gave Mu Xuanyin a long glare before replying. Then, with a cold snort, she turned into a streak of purple light and shot into the distance.
The other two won followed right after, turning into streaks of red and blue as they soared through the sky behind her.
...
In a secluded corner of the Ice Phoenix Palace, Yun Wuji was locked in a passionate makeout session with Xia Qingyue. Her hands cradled his head as she kissed him deeply, their tongues entwining. anwhile, Yun Wuji's hands road freely inside her robe, gliding over her smooth, plump thighs.
One hand inched slowly upward toward her round ass, while the other slipped between her legs, tracing the trail of love juices flowing down her inner thighs toward her dripping pussy.
Swoosh!
Just as his fingers were about to graze her pussy lips, a sudden gust of wind swept through, and three figures appeared before them.
"Ah!" Xia Qingyue gasped in surprise, pulling away from the kiss. Her face turned crimson as she quickly hid behind Yun Wuji, frantically adjusting her clothes.
She was so embarrassed, she wished she could dig a hole and jump into it.
'Shit! Did I just get cuckblocked?!' Yun Wuji cursed inwardly.
'They ca back faster than expected,' he thought, gently patting Xia Qingyue's shoulder to calm her, before turning to the three won. He smiled and started, "You're back—"
"Yang'er!" But before he could finish, Luo Guxie's voice rang out, full of emotion. She rushed toward him in a blur, pulling him into a tight embrace. Her hands imdiately began to check him over, worry etched on her face. "Are you okay?! Did that woman do anything to you? Did she torture you?!"
Jasmine, who had just taken a step forward, stopped when she saw the scene. Although she felt anxious for him and missed him terribly, the emotions she sensed from the woman in front of her were far more intense... joy, panic, fear, and even despair.
All of these negative and positive emotions were directed at one person, as if he were her only faith and the only reason keeping her will to live intact. Jasmine let out a heavy sigh, her eyes filled with a complex mix of feelings as she looked at the two of them. Just what had this woman gone through to beco so attached to him in such a short ti?
"Guxie, I'm alright. Don't worry," Yun Wuji wrapped his arms around her waist and lightly kissed her forehead.
"Hmm~" Luo Guxie was montarily stunned by his kiss. They had been together for months, but this was the first ti Yun Wuji had taken the initiative to kiss her, even if it was just on the forehead. Until now, their relationship had never gone beyond hugging.
She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her face against his neck as she breathed in his scent. Perhaps because she hadn't seen him for a while, she had the illusion that just being by his side made her soul and body feel much lighter and more at ease. She stayed like this for a long while before finally lifting her head and asking, "How did you escape from that bitch?"
Although Mu Xuanyin had told her that Yun Wuji was safe, she hadn't explained the whole situation. She hadn't ntioned his other bodies or his true identity. She had left that for him to explain personally.
"Technically, I'm still captive in her hands," Yun Wuji said slowly, observing her expression. "It's just that my third body is the one being held captive."
Sure enough, the mont his words fell, her expression changed.
First, there was bewildernt and confusion. Then, it turned into realization, and finally, anger!
For the past week, she had been under extre ntal pressure, one that had nearly shattered her sanity. She had lost the two most important people in her life. Relentlessly and mindlessly, she had searched for Yun Wuji everywhere. The only thing keeping her from completely breaking down was the thought of finding him, because she couldn't bear the thought of him suffering under that bitch's hands.
Her anger was so intense that the entire Ice Phoenix Palace, which was larger than the Profound Sky Continent, trembled under the force of her uncontrollable aura. This violent energy surged outward, rapidly expanding toward other areas of the Sect.
Mu Xuanyin and Jasmine quickly erected a barrier to contain the burst of energy. Without it, the disturbance would not only risk seriously injuring the ordinary disciples but could also attract the attention of other realms.
One must never underestimate the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the King Realms, especially the Moon God Realm. They were unmatched in this regard across the entire Primal Chaos. They had managed to uncover even the most closely guarded secrets, such as the Primordial Seal of Life & Death from the Brahma God Realm, including details on when it was discovered and how it was being used.
They even managed to uncover secrets that should have remained hidden, like the true relationship between Luo Guxie and Luo Changsheng, sothing that logically only Luo Guxie herself should have known.
In terms of intelligence gathering, the Moon God Realm was like the CIA or Mossad of the Primal Chaos. Their skills were fearso, and when it ca to uncovering secrets, they were absolutely unmatched.
Whether it was Mu Xuanyin, the ruler of this place, or Jasmine, the enemy of the Moon God Realm, neither of them wanted to risk attracting their attention.
"You lied to ..." Luo Guxie's eyes dimd as she stared at Yun Wuji intently, her voice low and slow.
"Yes," Yun Wuji nodded calmly, his gaze shifting to the three won standing nearby. "Could you please give us so ti alone?"
"Don't screw up this ti, Hmph!" Jasmine shot him a sharp look before turning and walking away.
Mu Xuanyin and Xia Qingyue gave him one last glance, then followed her in silence.
As they walked off, Yun Wuji muttered under his breath, "Fucking Tsundere."
From just a short distance away, Jasmine's voice rang out, "I am not a fucking Tsundere!"
Yun Wuji ignored the tsundere and turned his attention to the woman before him, her gaze cold and lifeless. Her lips parted as she whispered, "Why?"
He stood still for a long mont, then took a step back. With his height towering over her, he lowered his head slightly and asked in a calm tone, "Do you really want to know?"
"Tell ! Why did you lie to ?!" Luo Guxie grabbed his shoulders, shaking him violently as she shouted in frustration.
Yun Wuji didn't resist. He lowered his head, his long hair falling over his face, obscuring his expression from Luo Guxie. A hoarse chuckle escaped his lips as he said, "Because I had no choice."
"What?" Luo Guxie froze, her hands still gripping his shoulders. She stopped shaking him, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What do you an, 'had no choice'?"
"Because it's all your fault!" Yun Wuji's body trembled, his voice hoarse. He abruptly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot with frustration and pain. Pointing at her, his finger brushed against her chest due to the close distance, but he barely seed to notice. "All along, you were just using as a substitute for your lover!"
"At first, I didn't care," he continued, his voice breaking. "I had no feelings for you, so it didn't matter to if I was just a stand-in, as long as I had your support."
Yun Wuji's hand dropped to his chest, as if clutching at his heart, tears streaming down his face in a slow, steady line. "Why... why, even though I knew it was a lie, did I still fall for you?"
