Invincible System in ATG

The kiss was a bit sudden. It took some time for Cang Yue to come out of her thunderstruck state and to reciprocate back with her own.

It started with a gentle kiss with just their lips touching each other. Eventually, Yun Che slid his tongue into her seeking her permission which Cang Yue gave an entry.

Both of their tongues got intertwined with Yun Che gripping Cang Yue's waist in his arms. Pulling her closer to him, tilting their head occasionally to deepen the kiss. The kiss turned more and more passionate by the second. Cang Yue felt like the Butterflies were fluttering in her stomach.

Both of them felt like opening up their soul, tasting, feeling, and seeing every color of the rainbow in their own sensual way, almost like catching a smile in a bottle, its softness, its sweetness… Like breathing in the person like a cool inhalation of oxygen to warm the soul...

Like nothing in the world exist but them… This feeling like they're levitating off the ground floating in the air…

This feeling cannot be put into words, nor has there get been any part of speech or figure of speech invented to describe it... It's like an aphrodisiac, mixed with a Pandora's box effect, fireworks glowing inside each of their hearts just from the touch of lips.

In the cold night, every kiss ignited the fire in each other's hearts and the sense of warmth floating through them. Under the luminescence, the picture looked like a portrait done by a genius.

It lasted for a while and Yun Che only retreated when Cang Yue was out of her breath.

*Pant* *Pant*

Cang Yue's eyes were still dazed and she was panting heavily but her face was still in a dreamy state. She touched her wet lips which just experienced the first kiss, and her face immediately turned crimson.

Hiding her blush, Cang Yue turned to look at Yun Che who was still in her embrace. The latter returned her gaze with a smile with eyes full of love.

Cang Yue tried to initiate the kiss this time wanting to explore this sensation once more...

Just as Cang Yue's face was inching closer to Yun Che and their lips were just 5 cm apart from each other, the harmonious scene was interrupted by a damn bird.

*Screech*

Cang Yue hurriedly broke the hug when the cry of a bird echoed in the surroundings and her face was beet red embarrassed with what she tried to do but deep in her heart, a sense of loss was there.

'Master!... I'm back.!!' screeched the Phoenix with glee.

The poor bird had to fly all the way from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to Blue Wind Imperial City following Yun Che's soul connection.

It would have been a piece of cake if it had retained even a bit of its divine power, but now it was no different from an ordinary bird as its previous aura was depleted. It will probably take time for it to recover even a little bit of its lost power.

On the way, it was chased by many of the huge birds. It was a miracle as at the last minute, its body recovered some of the divine energy and it somehow managed to make it up to here and was joyful to see its master back.

Getting closer, it realized the atmosphere turned stiff by its entry.

'Master... Did I come at the wrong time?' asked Phoenix settling on Yun Che's shoulder.

'No, you've arrived at the right time.' replied Yun Che helplessly.

'Master, Don't leave me alone again! Outside birds are just too cruel' It squeaked just like a child asking their parent not wanting to leave them away from home. It couldn't guess what would happen to itself if it didn't regain its divine energy.

'Hmm.. okay.' agreed Yun Che rubbing the head of the skin just behind its beak and the sides of its head. The Phoenix chirped in delight.

'Now I have a task for you to do.' Yun Che sternly stated.

'Is it to protect the princess, Master?' instantly asked the Phoenix.

Cang Yue already passed through the Phoenix's trails and it completely knew of her past. It noticed how close both its Master and Cang Yue were for the past days and could figure out this much.

Yun Che gave a nod.

Cang Yue's cultivation is still at the peak stage of Spirit Profound Realm and she could anytime breakthrough to the Earth Profound Realm. Keeping the Phoenix around Cang Yue would put Yun Che's heart at ease as it would protect her from any potential harm.

'Don't worry, Master. I will do anything for my inheritor!' declared the Phoenix.

Even the Phoenix itself was impressed by Cang Yue finishing its trails and it held the responsibility to properly nurture its inheritor. And the supposed inheritor was also of importance to its Master. And it has no reason to object.

Cang Yue's eyes became clear and a hesitant look appeared on her face for a small amount of time and soon vanished, which Yun Che noticed.

Holding Cang Yue's hands in his own, Yun Che returned back to the Blue Wind Profound Palace with the Phoenix.

Cang Yue felt happy as Yun Che accepted her proposal but a part of her couldn't help but grow worried. A look of conflict depicted in her eyes.

The Phoenix flew into one of the empty rooms and quickly dozed off. It was too tired of flying and being chased all day and wanted to rest.

When Yun Che reached his room, Cang Yue turned back to head back to her own room but was stopped by a hand.

Yun Che pulled her to his room while Cang Yue didn't plan on resisting and trailed behind. Sitting on the bed, she closed her eyes expecting Yun Che to do whatever he wanted.

A weight fell on her lap but aside from that nothing happened. Cang Yue waited for some time but there were no movements. She turned down and opened her eyes looking directly into Yun Che's eyes and was surprised.

"Were you expecting something?" asked Yun Che teasingly.

Cang Yue blushed but didn't refute. She really was expecting Yun Che to do something.

Yun Che slowly closed his eyes and Cang Yue began running her fingers through Yun Che's long black hair and Yun Che enjoyed that.

Yun Che drifted his consciousness slowly into the Sky Poison Pearl.

On the bed, Jasmine was covering herself fully with the blanket with not even a part of her body exposed and continuous sniffing sounds were heard.

Yun Che tried poking the blanket and "Ouch" sounds were heard in between sniffing sounds. Not getting much response from her, he tried calling her.

"Jasmine....." Yun Che called her sweetly.

The sniffing sounds were immediately stopped. Jasmine was fully engrossed in crying that she didn't notice Yun Che coming into the Sky Poison Pearl.

She quickly wiped off her tears from her face and pulled her head out of the blanket and tried to maintain her stoic face as always which she miserably failed.

"What is it? This Princess is sleepy...." Jasmine tried to imitate her usual cold attitude but her voice was quavering.

Yun Che approached her closer while Jasmine slid back further and further. She soon reached the end of the bed and forcefully closed her eyes shut.

Yun Che wiped off her tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingers.

"Jasmine, you suck at acting," said Yun Che with a smile.

"But, you're adorable though" He continued.

Jasmine opened her eyes wide and she quickly threw a pillow at Yun Che which the latter managed to dodge in time.

The pillow fell on a bed sheet and a pile of ripped-up pillows was unraveled. Jasmine rushed to the front to cover them but failed.

"So, this is what you were doing all this time" Yun Che's eyes narrowed as he came to a realization.

"N-No, these were..." Jasmine's face flushed and she tried to say something but couldn't.

Yun Che glared at Jasmine wanting a suitable answer from her.

Feeling Yun Che's gaze intensify, Jasmine gave up on making any excuses but she didn't tell Yun Che the true reason though.

"*Sigh* Leave it. Were you watching me the whole time?" asked Yun Che feeling Jasmine's mood lighten up a little from before.

Jasmine nodded her head. No matter what, she can't lie in front of Yun Che and she knew it.

"Well, I love her," Yun Che told the harsh truth to Jasmine.

"I knew" she replied.

"You have to take good care of her, then.." Jasmine said with a smile.

Jasmine has been watching Yun Che from the start and she already knew he loves Cang Yue. But no matter how she tried to convince herself she can't help but grow jealous of her. She has known Yun Che from the start and if at all Yun Che fell in love with someone. It should be only her or so she thought.

Her tsundere attitude was making her not accept these feelings but deep in her heart, she loves Yun Che. And nothing will stop her from loving him.

She also knew, for now, she can't express her love for him. She had many things to do which might even risk her life in the future. And she by no means can involve him in her problems. She planned to solve them on her own.

"I will," said Yun Che and returned back from the Sky Poison Pearl.

Jasmine looked at Yun Che's fading back with a longing expression on her face. And from then, no pillows were massacred.

---

Yun Che withdrew his consciousness from the Sky Poison Pearl.

Yun Che pushed Cang Yue to the bed with him on the top. Cang Yue didn't anticipate something like this to happen so suddenly and her face was stained into a deeper shade of red.

"Is something bothering you?" asked Yun Che concerningly looking deep into Cang Yue's eyes.

"Y-Yes" Cang Yue answered truthfully.

"You think you're not qualified to love me?" asked Yun Che. He could feel Cang Yue lowering her self-esteem in front of him. And honestly, he didn't like it.

"Brother Che, You are destined to be great someday. I don't think I am someone who is qualified to stay with Brother Che."

"You promised me, you'll forever stay with me, didn't you?"

"I did"

"Was it a joke?"

"N-No"

"Don't belittle yourself. I said I love you. I mean, I love everything in you. Be it good or bad. Everything about you I love it. Don't distance yourself from me by thinking you're lower than anyone. okay?"

"Mmm.." Cang nodded.

An unknown warmth spread through her heart. She was happy that Yun Che didn't think of her as a replacement. And she is always irreplaceable to him.

"I have someone for you to meet"

Yun Che sat down and tried to call Jasmine out but there were signs of responding on the other side.

Cang Yue, on the other side, felt her woman's senses tingling. She didn't understand why though.

'System, Eject Jasmine out' Yun Che ordered.

[Ejecting Complete]

Jasmine materialized in the room with a startled expression. She was too shy from meeting Yun Che and now she had to meet Cang Yue.
