--- Chapter 277 ---

Yu Long and Huan Caiyi chatted in the room. The sunlight penetrating the room turned into moonlight slowly, decorating the floor with a faint gauze of white specks. 

When Huan Caiyi asked Yu Long to talk about mundane things, he'd never expect her to continue through. They didn't chat much about their heavy stuff and only threw a bunch of useless questions.

It starts with what Yu Long's favorite food was growing up. 

Yu Long answered it with chicken noodle soup. 

And Huan Caiyi responded with a puff pastry. 

Even though their conversation started randomly, the mood eased up eventually. 

Not much, but they indeed become closer than before. 

Likewise, Yu Long felt the same. The aloof Little Demon Empress actually has a surprising side to her, which is probably never revealed if her fate doesn't change.

Huan Caiyi's life is tragic, after all. She lost all her family, and on the day of her marriage, her soon-to-be husband vanished from this world.

After knowing the proprietor behind their deaths, Huan Caiyi would like to gut off Duke Ming and roast his intestine. However, she couldn't make a sudden move and must be patient.

"I like winter..." Huan Caiyi randomly said.

"Why so?" asked Yu Long calmly.

Huan Caiyi traced her fingers on the ground, seeing the shadow they made from the moonlight. "Because winter kept me cold." 

"For a century, I've endured the pain of my bloodline's eruption." 

"Sometimes I'd take a deep plunge on a nearby lake, but it wasn't enough." 

"The coldness of winter, however, suppressed the heat perfectly." 

"It's almost comforting, you know? Amidst all the pressure I must endure in my life." Huan Caiyi sighed, reminiscing old memories. 

"What about you?" 

Yu Long stumped before answering unsurely, "I don't know. I don't particularly like any season." 

"As long as I'm still breathing, any season is good." 

"That's too vague, Yu Long. Pick one." 

"You're forcing me to answer your question now?" 

"Yes. Do you have a problem with it?" Huan Caiyi flashed a faint smile at him.

After a brief moment, Yu Long sighed, "Fine. If I have to choose, then I'd pick Fall."

"Fall? Is there any reason you picked this season?" Huan Caiyi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Thinking about your question, I could only imagine falling leaves in my home's courtyard. Their color changes signify their ends on the cold ground..." Yu Long waved his hand.

"Well, I don't know why depressed things flashed in my mind. But now that I thought about it, the falling leaves signify a new start, too. They carried nutrients for the ground and sustained a new tree to grow." 

"It's ironically poetic for the old to die and sacrifice itself for the young."

"My parents had sacrificed many things in their lives, only wishing me to grow healthy and become a decent person." 

"There is no 'decent' about you, Yu Long." Huan Caiyi commented with a twitching mouth. "I had to say, your parents are severely underestimating your potential." 

Yu Long chuckled, "Hey, I'm a reincarnated person. It's not potential anymore, but experience." 

"Is that so?" She rolled her eyes. 

Then, she realized something. "Yu Long. Did your family know..." 

"Know of me as a reincarnated person? They don't."

"Hmm? I thought you'd tell them. After all, family is the closest." 

Yu Long shook his head gently and replied calmly, "Knowing me as a reincarnated person isn't that important to them."

"Not to mention, unlike those in my group, my family's situation is a bit special. I can't drag them into my problem while they had theirs."

"So far, only my closest subordinates and lovers know about my reincarnation." 

When Yu Long suddenly mentioned 'lover' in his sentence, Huan Caiyi's heart couldn't help but warm up slightly. If her heart could jump, it would jump from how much it beat.

Fortunately, Huan Caiyi knew how to suppress her emotions.

Yu Long glanced at the window and added, "Everyone has a secret. I have one, you have one, and even my parents have one." 

"We keep it secret, not always because we don't want people to know."

"We kept it secret because it was convenient." 

"If people saw me as Kaiju Maker every fucking day, it would be such a pain." He gave her a wry expression.

Huan Caiyi put on a helpless look. She understood what Yu Long meant from the annoyance alone.

Yu Long gave her a sly look, "Well, we went off-topic for a moment." 

"Let's see what you think of profound art." 

"It's the Art of Killing." Huan Caiyi answered decisively. "Anyone who trained it must be prepared to shed their blood or others." 

"There is no in-between." 

"That's just how this world works." 

"That's tough." Yu Long bitterly responded. "But you're not wrong." 

"Still, there is more than killing in profound art. You only grasped one of its concepts." 

"Really? What's your take then?" Huan Caiyi looks intrigued.

Yu Long wishfully sighed, "To me. Profound Arts is a way to uncover the truth about the universe. They allowed us to climb higher in cultivation and broke our mortal limit." 

"Are you telling me you can become God with it?" 

"Yes, you can become God with enough cultivation. However, I want more than that. To see the peak that is shrouded with primordial mists." 

Huan Caiyi stared at Yu Long silently. Her dream was to become stronger and protect the Illusory Demon Realm. However, compared to Yu Long's goal, her dream seems weaker in passion.

This man would undoubtedly achieve his goal.

"The moon is beautiful tonight." Yu Long suddenly commented, gaining Huan Caiyi's attention.

Huan Caiyi looked out the window and saw a white moon hanging in the sky, shining beautifully. "Indeed." 

Yu Long suddenly stood up, "Well, let's stop here. It's late already." 

"Remember, you have a big day tomorrow." 

Yes, tomorrow is none other than the One Hundred Years' Reign Ceremony.

The day Huan Caiyi and Yun Canghai had been waiting for. 

Huan Caiyi stared at Yu Long with beautiful, glimmering eyes. Gosh, the moonlight made her more stunning tonight.

She looks like a moon fairy. 

"See you in the morning, Caiyi." Yu Long waved his hand, walking out. 

Huan Caiyi's eyes locked on Yu Long's broad back as she shouted, "Yu Long!"

"Yes?" Yu Long stopped by the door. He turned around and saw Huan Caiyi's hopeful eyes.

Huan Caiyi pursed her lips, "Thank you." 

"Thank you for chatting with me all this time."

"You don't know, but life as an Empress is very lonely." 

"So, I will remember this... I owe you one."

"You're welcome." Yu Long smiled back and disappeared from the door frame.

Huan Caiyi silently stared at the empty spot for a few minutes before sighing and lying on her carpet motionlessly. Even then, her eyes were bright, and her heart pounded rapidly.

"I mustn't suppress my feelings..." She mumbled, recalling Chu Yuechan's words back then. 

"Yu Long. Why are you so extraordinary?" 

"I can't help but want to find out everything about you..." 

"You're making me lose control. Everything." 

Soon, Huan Caiyi drifted to sleep. She consumed a lot of mental energy when cultivating Sky Demon Sutra.

Unknown to her, Yu Long hadn't moved that far from her bedroom and returned after she fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping fairy on the ground, he shook his head and brought her to the bed.

Of course, he wouldn't do anything to her.

Yu Long tucked Huan Caiyi into the bed and wished her a good dream.

"Good night, Caiyi."

With that, Yu Long returned to his own room. He lay down and stared at the ceiling, "It's not just you, Caiyi. The Destroyers Trial should start tomorrow." 

"I can't wait to find what they have for me."
