Chapter 1816: So Near yet so Far Away

"Eh? Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace? Why...why are you back?"

Looking at the familiar ice and snowy land in front of him, Xia Yuanba froze there, and then stared at Shui Meiyin.

This little girl is so amazing!

Hey wait! I have been struggling for more than four months! I have only been standing in the land of God Realm for less than three days... Why were you sent back to me!

After slandering him, Xia Yuanba immediately turned around and shouted to Yun Che: "Brother-in-law, look! This is the ice and snow region, and the entire Blue Pole Star is in good condition. It is much more stable than in previous years. Why is brother-in-law acting inexplicably?" Said that Blue Pole Star was...by..."

"..." Yun Che had no reaction, his eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul.

"Palace Master Murong and Fairy Yuechan should be in the Immortal Palace now, and Wuxin often comes here...ah! That's right!" Xia Yuanba quickly tugged on Yun Che's arm and said with great excitement: "Quickly ! Come with me to see them, so they don’t have to worry anymore..."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Meiyin behind him had a flash of soul in his eyes, and Xia Yuanba's voice suddenly stopped. His whole body was frozen there, unable to move or speak. Only his eyes widened and his eyeballs rolled around. His consciousness is still clear.

"Brother Yun Che," Shui Meiyin approached Yun Che and felt the turmoil in his soul: "There is no doubt that this is the Blue Pole Star. The Blue Pole Star that you were born and attached to is definitely not similar or an illusion. Not a dream."

"Your relatives, your family, your closest friends, your beauty, your daughter... they are all here... all of them are here, always."

"...slightly..." Yun Che's fingers were trembling as he was held in Shui Meiyin's palm, and the sound of his teeth trembling and clashing came from his mouth.

Shui Meiyin continued: "Because back then, what the Moon God Emperor destroyed was not the Blue Pole Star at all, but a planet called Tianshui Star, which was similar in size and blue... Especially when viewed from a distance in the void, It’s hard to tell.”

"Back then, the planet Mercury existed at this location."

"And just before that destruction, Blue Pole Star and Tianshui Star exchanged places. Blue Pole Star came to the south of the Southern God Territory, and Tianshui Star went to the east of the Eastern God Territory."

"...???" Xia Yuanba's eyes almost popped out of his head, as if he had just heard a fairy tale.

Shui Meiyin raised the Qiankun Thorn in her hand and said softly: "Moving the stars and changing the moon, this sounds like a miraculous power that only the ancient true gods could have."

"But in this world, there is one thing that can do it... This miracle may never be repeated. But that is probably the only time, and it bloomed perfectly for brother Yun Che."

The voice in his ears floated softly in Yun Che's soul space, over and over again.

Yun Che's fingers moved slightly, and his arms were raised bit by bit, extremely slowly. His fingers stretched forward, wanting to touch the world in front of him...

This world he thought was gone forever from his life.

That trembling movement is not the pull of thoughts, but the throbbing and desire from the bottom of the soul.

His consciousness was also released at this time to search for those... people he had lost, and the souls that were lost with them.

Shui Meiyin was startled, and just when she was about to say something to stop him, Yun Che suddenly trembled all over as if he was electrocuted. The spiritual sense he had just released was withdrawn in great haste, and then it was tightly collected, and he even held his breath tightly.

"Yun Che...brother." Shui Meiyin felt a sore nose and hugged him gently.

The trembling of Yun Che's body did not stop for a moment, and his teeth were gritted tightly. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word or make any sound.

Under Shui Meiyin's soft voice, a teardrop fell silently from his eye, falling towards the boundless snowy area below, and blending into the flying snow flying all over the sky.

Ten breaths...twenty breaths...

It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind and snow could be heard, as well as the occasional loss of voice that touched Yun Che's throat.

"Brother Yun Che." Shui Meiyin gently pulled his sleeve.

The silence did not last any longer, and Yun Che slowly turned around.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to control his expression, emotions, and breath... but he couldn't control the chaotic twitching of every muscle on his face.

"Yuanba," he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and erratic: "Go back. Don't tell anyone... that you have seen me before."

Lost... recovered...

But we can't appear, we can't meet...

His life and soul are like a solitary boat floating on the vast waves.

The soul restraint from Shui Meiyin was released. Xia Yuanba shuddered and regained control of his body and five senses.

He looked at Yun Che's profile, and his heart suddenly felt as if he was being crushed by a huge force, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

He had too many questions and too many things to ask Yun Che. But today's Xia Yuanba is no longer the innocent and ignorant young man he was back then. He knows that now is definitely not the right time.

He just asked softly: "Then brother-in-law...when will he come back?"

There was a brief silence.

"Kill... all... those who deserve to die." Yun Che said the most sinister words in a soft and trembling voice.

"Okay." Xia Yuanba nodded, took a breath, and said: "Brother-in-law, back then you risked your own life to save me. Later, you saved Cang Feng, the Illusory Demon Realm, the Tianxuan Continent, and the The entire Blue Pole Star..."

"Even though I haven't really seen the wider world, you will always be the greatest hero in my heart. I know that this time, you must have carried something that I can't understand, something heavier than any other time. But, no matter what, you must come back safely."

"There are so many people waiting for you, so many people are worried about you. Your importance in their lives is beyond your imagination. So... you must come back safely!"

"..." Yun Che did not respond, did not turn around, only the knuckles of his clenched hands turned white.

Finally taking his eyes away from Yun Che, Xia Yuanba took a breath and was about to fall to the snowy area below... Suddenly, his eyes condensed and he said in a lost voice: "Wuxin!?"

The trembling of Yun Che's body suddenly stopped, and he froze there.

One breath... Two breaths...

The shaky reason was shattered by the overly intense desire, and he turned around suddenly... Shui Meiyin grabbed his hand tightly and did not stop him.

In the sight, a female figure stepped on the ice and snow and walked slowly.

The vast snowy land, like flying catkins, is the most beautiful scenery in the world, but at this moment it suddenly becomes an embellishment in the painting. The whole world, all the bright lights, are concentrated on the girl.

When Yun Che left, Yun Wuxin was less than fifteen years old.

Now, she is approaching her twenties.

This is the best age for a girl. Every year of growth is a beautiful transformation that only happens once in life.

Yun Wuxin today has lost her childishness and the innocence that she always loves to release in front of him. She has grown into a beautiful fairy like her mother who is extraordinary and untainted by dust.

Her footsteps are very light and slow, and the snow falls without a trace, as if she doesn't want to disturb this silent world covered with ice and snow forever.

Her hair has grown to her hips, dancing with the snow-white skirt. Her eyes are like the misty stars above the nine heavens... However, the mist is woven with the heart-breaking sadness.

Walking on the ice and snow, she seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light that could not be desecrated. She was ethereal and pure, as if she was the most flawless masterpiece bestowed by God on the world, enough to make anyone who saw her dazed.

This is her daughter.

His heart was twitching wildly in the warmth, and the blood in his body was coagulating in the burning heat... Yun Che held Shui Meiyin's hand tightly, afraid that he would suddenly lose control and rush up to hug her tightly.

She grew up... His daughter grew up...

However, every day, every year, every bit of miraculous growth, he missed it...

And it was an eternal miss.

"Brother Yun Che, we should go."

In the dream, Shui Meiyin's gentle call sounded.

"..."

With almost cruel willpower, he turned his eyes away from Yun Wuxin, then closed his eyes and never opened them again.

"Yuanba," he said softly, "I promise you, I will come back intact... Not only intact, but also very soon... very soon!"

Xia Yuanba was stunned for a long while.

Seeing Yun Wuxin with his own eyes, he did not dare to move forward. He could not imagine how heavy the burden Yun Che was carrying at this time.

Faced with Yun Che's promise, he nodded heavily, hammered his chest hard, and said, "Okay, brother-in-law, I'll wait! Before you come back, unless I die, no one can touch our Blue Pole Star!"

After saying that, Xia Yuanba did not stop and slowly fell down.

"Wait." Yun Che stopped him again: "Help me ask Wuxin... a question."

Xia Yuanba looked back and listened carefully.

"Does she... hate me?" When he said these words, he kept his eyes closed and did not dare to open them for a moment.

"Uh..." Xia Yuanba looked embarrassed, but in this situation, he couldn't say anything to reject Yun Che, so he could only nod: "Okay."

"Actually, I have something to ask my brother-in-law now." Xia Yuanba also took this opportunity to ask: "My sister... is she okay now?"

Shui Meiyin: "..."

"..."Without much reaction, Yun Che still spoke in a low and slow tone: "When I come back, I will tell you everything in detail."

He didn't get an accurate answer, but Xia Yuanba didn't ask any more questions. He nodded again: "Okay! Brother-in-law, don't forget your promise... When you come back, don't lose a single hair!"

"And my sister too! You must bring my sister back intact. I'm looking forward to you having a baby, hehe!"

With a bright smile, Xia Yuanba restrained his breath, his body sank, and fell to the snowy area far below.

Yun Che was as still as a petrified person, Shui Meiyin accompanied him silently, without speaking, without urging, just like he did to her, letting him be willful this time.

After falling to a sufficient distance, Xia Yuanba released his profound energy, and his speed increased dramatically, landing directly in front of Yun Wuxin.

Yun Wuxin stopped and looked at Xia Yuanba, she was stunned: "Uncle Xia, you... are back?"

"Uh..." Xia Yuanba scratched his head, with a guilty look on his face: "When approaching the God Realm, I encountered several spatial turbulences, so I had to return empty-handed. But don't worry, I will reorganize for a while, and I will succeed next time."

There was no disappointment on the jade face that was whiter than snow, and a very light smile appeared on her beautiful lips: "Thank you, Uncle Xia. It must be difficult to go to that world, Uncle Xia, take a good rest for a while."

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly, passed by Xia Yuanba, and continued to walk on the snow towards the nearby Frozen Cloud Palace.

Her temperament also became as cold as her mother's.

"Wuxin," Xia Yuanba hurriedly called her: "Um... I have a question to ask you."

Yun Wuxin stopped and glanced slightly: "Uncle Xia, please."

Xia Yuanba's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. He knew that Yun Che must still be watching them from afar.

"Do you... do you hate your father a little bit?"

Xia Yuanba asked, and although he tried hard to control his voice, his voice was still a little difficult.
