Chu Yue closed her eyes, and after a few moments, ice began to emerge beh her feet, freezing the ground. The ice spread rapidly, and in no time, it covered a radius of several kilometers, freezing everything in its path—earth, trees, and eves.

  Swoosh!

  A gust of wind swept through, and the frozen trees as shattered into icy dust.

  Right after, the dust gathered into multiple icy shards the size of oer.

  Boom!

  Rumble!

  The shards u the nearby mountain, creating thunderous explosions. Dust and debris flew everywhere, shrouding the mountain in clouds of dust.

  When the dust settled, a huge k of the mountain was gone!

  She poi the mountain, and everything in that dire started to freeze, f a straight path. When the ice reached the mountain, it transformed into an icy peak. The most terrifying part was, the whole process took less than half a minute.

  "You actually did it!" she excimed, her eyes wide with excitement. After trying the new Frozen Cloud Arts, she found it was five times stronger and had ive effects. Overjoyed she fot herself and ran to him and hugged him tightly.

  "It's good that you like it," Yun Wuji smiled, seeing her happy expression.

  "You've helped so much, I really don't know how to repay you," she said, looking at him. Without her veil, her features were absolutely exquisite: clear eyes, slender eyebroearly skin.

  Gazing at her up close, he became dazed. Chu Yue was already a kingdom-toppliy, and since he hadn't yet seen Qianye Ying'er or Jasmin, to him right now she was the most beautiful woman he had ever id eyes on.

  "Don't worry, I know how you repay me." He lifted her and kissed her without giviime to react.

  Chu Yue's eyes widened briefly, then she closed them and ed her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

  After a while, their lips parted, and Yun Wuji looked at her with a faint smile. He was happy she hadn't resisted; it meant she also had feelings for him.

  Chu Yue's face was red as fire, panicked and shy. "You...you...why are you doing this...?"

  "Hmm, you don't like it?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

  "I didn't mean that, it's just too sudden," she said, l her head and burying her fa his chest. She was too embarrassed to look at him.

  Since losing her memories, Yun Wuji was the only person by her side. His pany provided her with a sense of warmth and safety in a world where everyone and everything was strao her. It was only natural for her to feel attached to him.

  She didn't have the ce to ge their retionship, and she also liked how things were between them right now.

  Yun Wuji also uood her curreal state and decided to make the first move. He was a man and should be the oaking the initiative.

  He also feared that she might regain her memories and distance herself.

  "Good," He then kissed her once again.

  -----

  In a quiet, remote street of New Moon City, the very air seemed to tremble as Yun Wuji and Little Fairy suddenly appeared.

  "We've run out of spices. There's a branch of the Bert Guild here; maybe we find something good," Yue pestered Yun Wuji, eager for him to cook something delicious. She had eaten so much that they had exhausted all the unique spices he usually kept stocked. They had e to the city to replenish their supplies.

  However, Yun Wuji's spices were not typical; they were special and not easily found. Fortunately, the Bert Guild branch here was vely close to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. With a quick teleportation, they had arrived at the city.

  "Bert Guild? That name sounds familiar..." When she heard it, she pced her hand on her and pondered for a moment, sensing a hint of familiarity.

  "The Bert Guild is the rgest mert guild in the Profound Sky ti. They have an excelleation, and it's said you buy anything that be brought with money," Yun Wuji expined. "You probably heard about them before you lost your memories."

  "Is that so," Yue nodded. However, she quickly pushed aside her thoughts and urged him, "Hurry up, I want to eat burgers!"

  "..."

  Yue didn't like being the ter of attention, so when they arrived iy, they teleported to a remote pce a bit farther from the Mert Guild.

  "Look at that woman, she's so beautiful!"

  "Even with the veil, I tell she's a beautiful woman."

  "That man is also quite handsome."

  "What's that glowing thing around him? Trying to look cool?"

  "A handsome bastard trying to show off!"

  Wuji and Yue's looks are both very outstanding. Despite her veil, Yue radiated an undeniable allure that effortlessly caught the eye of everyone around them.

  As they strolled through the city, many couldn't resist stopping to steal g them.

  Soon, they came upon a building. Its gate bore a logo of a bck waning moon.

  "Wele, er. I'm Jun Wu. Are you here to sell or buy?" As they ehe guild, the middle-aged man with a goatee greeted them promptly. His sharp eyes quickly dised that both of them were important figures.

  "I want to buy water spirit crystals, leaves from the Bck Death Tree..." Yun Wuji listed several redients to him.

  "Esteemed er, we have all of them except for the water spirit crystal," Jun Wu said, rubbing his hands. The items Yun Wuji requested were rare and expensive, prompting him to show even more respect.

  "Alright, give me whatever stock you have of them," Wuji nodded. He was wealthy enough not to bother asking about the prid ordered all the avaible stock directly.

  The Mert Guild lived up to its reputation. This was only a branch, yet it had nearly everything he wanted. For a moment, he was tempted to raid their main branch.

  "Right away, sir!" Jun Wu immediately instructed the servants to prepare the order.

  "Please e back again, dear ers!" After paying, he collected the ingredients a with Chu Yue. Jun Wu personally saw them off.

  "Stht there!"

  Just as they were about to teleport back to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, someone suddenly stopped them.

  "Beauty, my young master is ied in you e with us!" The one who stopped them was a muscur man. He arrogantly ignored Yun Wuji and demahat Chu Yue follow him to a luxurious carriage where his master awaited.

  "..." Yue.

  "What..." Seeing that she didn't move, the man was about to use force when suddenly ice began to spread from his legs all the way to his head. In a split sed, he became aatue.

  Yue didn't spare him a gnce. She held Wuji's hand and walked past him.

  The statue shattered into tiny pieces. Until his death, he never knew just how terrifying the person he provoked was.

  "Stht there! Ignorant fools, you dare to kill my servant!" The man ihe carriage leaped out, furious. No one in New Moon City dared to defy him, ahese two had the audacity to oppose him!

  "Oh, iing~" Yun Wuji, who had been silent this whole time, looked at the man with i. Although he had lived in this world for a long time, this was the first time he had entered a 'Young Master'.

  "Ignorant fool! Don't you know who I am?! Kneel and lick my shoes, and perhaps I'll spare your life!" the young master shouted, pointing at Wuji. The moment he saw him, a surge of killing i rose in his heart. What he hated most were people who were more handsome than him!

  He wao humiliate him in front of his woman before killing him!

  "Who may you be?" Yun Wuji asked with a harmless smile, simir to the one he wore when he massacred the members of The Sword Unity Sect.

  "Listen, young master is the son of the elder of the Xiao Sect!" a servant interjected proudly, adept at timing his words to enhance his master's prestige.

  "An i from a branch of a ti. I truly don't know who gave you the ce to jump in front of me," Yun Wuji shook his head in disdain. It was a wonder how these tis could st so long with their desdants provoking random people so recklessly.

  "You! You are c death!" The young master, who had been expeg to see their terrified faces, became furious instead.

  'I know he would say that!'
