"Strange, where did Yun Xianghan go today? She's usually cultivating quietly in the courtyard, why did she go out today?" Ye Chen couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed when he didn't see Yun Xianghan.

Finally, Ye Chen entered Yun Zheyue's room.

Yun Zheyue was deeply engrossed in cultivation, experiencing the ultimate realm of "Transcend the Other Shore" and trying to allow emotions to arise within her state of heartlessness.

With the unknown catastrophe looming, a sense of urgency weighed on Yun Zheyue's heart, an impatience to advance.

Yun Zheyue was now an imposing dragon head figure, but if she could not achieve Transcendence, when the great calamity descended, the Great Venerable of the Other Shore and the Saintly Great Powers, all returning from the Canglan Realm, she would be reduced to an ant.

Therefore, Yun Zheyue was constantly comprehending the Dao, aiming to transform from heartlessness to emotion.

However, things were not going as Yun Zheyue wished; despite her diligent study, she made no progress at all.

Ye Chen was a descendant of a saint, with a martial foundation even more profound than hers; facing a bottleneck, Yun Zheyue considered whether to discuss the path of Dao with Ye Chen.

But Yun Zheyue was a proud woman, and Ye Chen had repeatedly disgraced her, making him a sworn enemy. How could she seek help from her enemy?

While Yun Zheyue was internally struggling and hesitating, Ye Chen pushed open the door to her room and walked in.

"Yun Zheyue, have you missed me?" Ye Chen teased lightly.

"Ye Chen!" Upon seeing Ye Chen, Yun Zheyue's heart could not remain calm, her eyes blazing with hatred.

Yun Zheyue was an esteemed dragon head, sacred and inviolable, but Ye Chen had disrespected her and toppled her from the sanctum, deepening the enmity between them.

"Just how much do you miss me to harbor such profound resentment?" Ye Chen said with a teasing smile, not taking things seriously.

"Do you want to die?" Yun Zheyue's voice was cold; Ye Chen's casual term of endearment almost made her feel nauseous.

"You can't kill me, yet you talk about it every day. How mundane can you get?" Ye Chen said with disdain. "Can't we talk about something else whenever we meet?"

"..."

"I admit that I've taken the wrong path and cannot reach the Other Shore Palace, but now that I'm heartless, how can I become emotional?" Yun Zheyue asked Ye Chen, her expression neither sad nor joyful.

Yun Zheyue had indeed wanted to seek Ye Chen's advice, but pride had kept her in limbo, unable to lower her guard.

Now that Ye Chen had approached her on his own, Yun Zheyue made a decisive choice without any further hesitation. She voiced the confusion in her heart, asking Ye Chen to help her find clarity.

"I can solve your problem, but if I speak out, you cannot hit me," Ye Chen said.

"You can solve it?" Yun Zheyue asked, surprised.

For others, cultivating emotions from heartlessness might be easy, but for her it seemed very difficult, even impossible.

Yun Zheyue had wracked her brain over this issue without finding a solution. Yet, it seemed trivial in Ye Chen's eyes?!

Yun Zheyue subconsciously filtered out Ye Chen's words about not hitting him. Ye Chen was supremely shameless, uttering a single word could give one a hundred reasons to beat him, and Yun Zheyue had long been accustomed to this.

"To regain emotions, you only need to fall in love with someone, and you will achieve your goal," Ye Chen said.

"Whom should I love?" Yun Zheyue asked. "Who is worthy of my love?"

Yun Zheyue was a legendary figure in heaven and earth, almost mythical. Who in this world was worthy of her?

"There is only one person in this world worthy of your love, and that's me!" Ye Chen declared.

Yun Zheyue was unparalleled in her pride, like an exiled Heavenly Immortal, but Ye Chen was even prouder than her, for he had the right to be.

"You!" Yun Zheyue's gaze sharpened, a surge of irritation welling up in her heart.

Ye Chen had countless times been disrespectful to her, nearly shattering her state of mind, and now he was delusionally hoping to make her fall in love with him?

If Yun Zheyue had enough cultivation, she would have wanted to kill Ye Chen with a single palm strike, let alone fall in love with him.

"I know you hate me!" Ye Chen said as if aware of Yun Zheyue's resentment. "But since your cultivation is not enough, even if I'm disrespectful to you, you can do nothing about me!"

"Fine, now I want to fall in love with you. What do you need me to do?" Yun Zheyue said indifferently.

Yun Zheyue and Ye Chen had deep-seated grudges, almost to the point where it seemed impossible to resolve, but transcending the other shore was more important than anything else.

Thus, Yun Zheyue thought of compromising first, only waiting for her transcendence so she could sever all emotional ties and forcefully suppress Ye Chen.

"If you want to fall in love with me, you have to let go of your hatred and stop seeing me as an enemy!" Ye Chen shrugged and said.

"Good, I won't see you as an enemy!" Yun Zheyue said without sorrow or joy.

"What I want is for you not to see me as an enemy, not to close off your senses!" Ye Chen was somewhat speechless. Yun Zheyue was exceptionally aloof, as if she did not partake in worldly desires—how could he even begin?

"Throw a flirtatious glance at me," Ye Chen said.

Yun Zheyue fell silent. She had no clue what a flirtatious glance was, let alone how to do it.

"Yun Zheyue, you really are something else. You're so beautiful, yet you don't know how to throw a flirtatious glance!" Ye Chen laughed.

"..."

Ye Chen's mockery was intense, and Yun Zheyue found herself unable to retort.

Eventually, Ye Chen left the room, allowing Yun Zheyue to ponder and calm herself.

"I originally thought this was a fall from grace, but when I'm with Ye Chen, my state of mind truly changes!"

"It seems I'm on the right path. I must persevere!"

"Although Ye Chen can move my emotions, his repeated disrespect for me means that, once I transcend, the first thing I'll do is kill him!"

After Ye Chen left, Yun Zheyue murmured to herself, seemingly deep in thought, weighing the pros and cons.

"..."

In the courtyard, there was a bamboo chair. Ye Chen walked around the courtyard before lying on the bamboo chair, reveling in comfort and ease.

Yun Xianghan often cultivated in seclusion here, and today she made the rare decision to come out, which puzzled Ye Chen, who wondered what she could be up to.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Yun Xianghan's figure descended from the sky, like a heavenly immortal stepping down to Earth, breathtakingly beautiful.

"What kept you so long? What have you been busy with?"

Yun Xianghan rarely stepped out of the courtyard; only urgent matters could draw her away.

"What else could I be busy with? It's just some sisterly matters. The new company has been renovated, and I went to inspect it!" Yun Xianghan said.

"The office building is already renovated?" Ye Chen inquired. "When will Su Binglan and the others start the relocation?"

Su Binglan, Chu Yanran, Chu Yanran—such a massive relocation of three colossal companies to the capital was unprecedented, who knew how many influential figures it would alarm.

Ye Chen had deliberately chosen to stay in the capital to intimidate those people and deter some petty criminals, sparing the women some unnecessary trouble.

"In three days, Chu Yanran will arrive with a large entourage. Then comes Su Binglan's Wanshi Medicine, followed by Zhang Xinlan's Ye Film Industry!" Yun Xianghan said.

"Good. Once these matters are settled, I'll bring those women back. After finishing these tasks, I will head to the Canglan Realm," Ye Chen sighed deeply, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension.
