Back then, when they had subdued the Dragons of Absolute Beginning, Jasmine faked an injury to draw Yun Wuji's attention, which irritated Luo Guxie and Mu Xuanyin. At the time, he promised to give each of them a reward as compensation.
Luo Guxie had already cashed in her reward long ago, while Mu Xuanyin held onto hers and never brought it up, as if she had forgotten about it. But now, she had finally raised the matter.
"Sure, what does my most noble and beautiful Xuanyin want?" Yun Wuji was slightly surprised, but he quickly smiled, tightened his arms around her, and asked.
Mu Xuanyin took two steps back and silently stared at him, a conflicted look on her face. "I know what I'm about to ask is a bit unfair and overboard."
"But... can you make Bingyun your woman?"
"...I beg your pardon?" Yun Wuji's eye twitched as he blurted out, involuntarily taking a step back. He stared at the woman before him with wide eyes, unable to believe what she had just said, wondering if he had heard her wrong.
"I want you to take my sister Bingyun as your woman," Mu Xuanyin repeated slowly. She took his hand, gently caressing the back of his palm. "I know my request is unreasonable, but... could you please do it?"
Ever since Mu Bingyun returned with Yun Wuji from their trip to the Blue Pole Star half a year ago, she had been absent-minded. Sometimes, she would stare at Yun Wuji for a long time whenever he wasn't looking. Mu Xuanyin knew her little sister very well; it could be said that she was the one who raised her. How could she not notice her sister's feelings?
But she also didn't know what Yun Wuji truly thought of her sister. It was true they were very close, and Yun Wuji was clearly fond of her, even saying many times that he admired her. But he had never explicitly said he was in love with her.
After much deliberation over the past half year, Mu Xuanyin decided that for the sake of her sister's happiness, she would use the extremely valuable 'reward' to secure her sister's lifelong joy.
Women of the Ice Phoenix Sect, once they fell in love with a man, loved him for life. There was no way she would let her sister endure a lifetime of pain. She also had a selfish reason; she wanted to strengthen her faction by adding her sister, keeping Yun Wuji closer to them.
After all, with Yun Wuji's lustful nature, he would certainly enjoy a threesome with two sisters, right?
As for the idea that Yun Wuji didn't love Mu Bingyun? What nonsense. Her sister was a kingdom-toppling beauty, a fairy descended into the mortal world. Which man could possibly turn her down? Especially a man as horny as Yun Wuji.
Even if he didn't have feelings for her now, he would surely develop them in time.
"Why?" Yun Wuji asked, clearly confused.
"Bingyun loves you. As her older sister, I want to ensure her happiness in love," Mu Xuanyin replied calmly.
Yun Wuji stayed silent for a moment before speaking. "Actually, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Mu Xuanyin asked.
"I do like Bingyun, but because I was worried about hurting your feelings, I suppressed these feelings," Yun Wuji said with a shy smile, averting his gaze.
He naturally knew about Mu Bingyun's feelings for him. He had even hinted at his own feelings for her back in the Dark World at the Blue Pole Star. But Mu Bingyun didn't want to let her sister down, so she held back her emotions.
At that time, he planned to tell Mu Xuanyin and ask for her help. But recently, he had been extremely busy, even with three bodies, scheming across the world, and dealing with various King Realms took up most of his time. He never expected Mu Xuanyin to take the initiative to help him instead.
"Really?" Mu Xuanyin's blue eyes widened slightly as she let out a soft exclamation.
"Hmm, honestly, I've liked Bingyun for a long time. She's a very beautiful woman and incredibly gentle. She's always treated me like a caring older sister. With all that, how could I not fall for her?" Yun Wuji glanced at her face and spoke slowly, recalling his time with Bingyun when he first arrived in the Snow Song Realm.
"So, did I just waste my reward opportunity just like that?" Mu Xuanyin bit her lips and pouted.
"Silly Xuanyin, of course not. This one doesn't count. I'll still grant you a reward whenever you want in the future," Yun Wuji chuckled loudly and patted her head.
"Hmm," Mu Xuanyin squinted her eyes, enjoying his head pat. She might be the cold and ruthless king of the Snow Song Realm, and a mighty 10th-level Divine Master, but when he patted her head like this, she immediately melted, showing a surprisingly cute expression.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and said eagerly, "Let's go see Bingyun."
"Right now?" Yun Wuji asked, just as he was setting the mood, thinking maybe they could fuck. He didn't expect her to want to meet Bingyun immediately.
"Yes, now!" Not wanting to waste any more time, she grabbed his arm and ripped open a space tear, stepping inside.
...
Mu Bingyun thought her life wouldn't change, even if her poison were cursed. After being close to death for a thousand years, she grew colder, and her nature became indifferent. Aside from her older sister and her disciple, she didn't care about anything else.
But to think she was so wrong. That man suddenly entered her life and saved her. At first, she felt only gratitude and admiration for his talent, nothing more. But soon, he quietly slipped into her heart and took up a large place there.
"Haaah, I wonder where he is right now," Mu Bingyun stared at the chessboard they used to play on and let out a deep sigh.
Recently, Yun Wuji hadn't returned to the Snow Song Realm for a very long time, and she hadn't seen him for months. She missed the days when he stayed holed up in the Phoenix Palace; it was so easy to see him then. He was always within her spiritual sense, and she could visit him whenever she wanted.
RIIIP!
Suddenly, the space before her tore open, and Mu Xuanyin, followed by Yun Wuji, appeared. Mu Bingyun was so surprised she jumped from her seat and exclaimed, "Big sis! Wuji, you came back!?" She greeted her sister, but when her eyes caught Yun Wuji behind her, a warm smile appeared on her face without her realizing it.
"Yes, I just returned," Yun Wuji grinned from behind Mu Xuanyin and waved his hand.
Mu Xuanyin shot a long look at both of them, then walked over to Bingyun and said, "Wuji came back this time because he wants to tell you something."
"He already asked for my permission, and I agreed. Anyway, I'll leave you two to talk." After she finished speaking, she tore open a new rip in space and left.
"Talk? Wait, sister!" Mu Bingyun called out, confused. She wanted to ask more, but Xuanyin had already left. "What's wrong with her?"
Yun Wuji scratched the back of his head. He wasn't usually embarrassed in situations like this, but Mu Xuanyin's actions made the atmosphere feel awkward.
"Wuji?" Mu Bingyun walked over and gently touched his face, asking worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Staring at the concern in her eyes, Yun Wuji fell silent for a moment, admiring her beautiful face.
Her jade-like complexion outshone freshly fallen snow, smooth and flawless like moonlit porcelain. Silken raven hair flowed like a waterfall under the midnight sky, framing eyes deep and dark as ink-brushed lotus ponds. Her slender waist could be grasped with one hand. Her curves were only slightly smaller than her sister's, with full, generous peaks pressing softly against her loose robe, forming a graceful arc across her flawless figure. Beneath that delicate waist, her hips bloomed with contrasting fullness, round, firm, and alluring.
Yun Wuji closed his eyes and then opened them, his gaze now free of hesitation. He reached out and held the hand on his face, speaking seriously. "Bingyun, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I thought it would be unfair to you and Xuanyin. That's why I had to get her permission first."
"What is it?" Mu Bingyun had a vague feeling about what he meant, connecting the dots with her sister's words. Her heart skipped a beat.
"I love you," Yun Wuji said, holding her hand tighter as he confessed his feelings.
"Ah!" Mu Bingyun's eyes and mouth both widened. She let out a soft exclamation before covering her mouth with her hand, staring at Yun Wuji with shock, disbelief, and happiness.
"What... what are you saying!?" she stuttered, her heart in complete turmoil. She turned her face away and said with the firmest voice she could manage, "I'll pretend I didn't hear this. Stop playing around. Elder sister will be sad."
"I mean what I said. I love you. I like you, Bingyun!" Yun Wuji shook his head and confessed again. "I know what you're worried about. That's why I spoke to Xuanyin before coming here. She doesn't mind us being together. On the contrary, she said she would be happy."
Mu Bingyun's mind buzzed. Even though she had guessed this, she still couldn't believe it was actually happening. Her sister didn't mind sharing Yun Wuji with her? She could finally be with him without fearing she'd hurt her older sister? She could finally show her affection without feeling ashamed?
Is it true!?
Really true!?
"Re-really?" Mu Bingyun muttered in disbelief. She clasped the hand Yun Wuji was holding and asked, "Sister said that?"
"Yes. Otherwise, why would she personally bring me here? She's actually very worried about you," Yun Wuji chuckled. Then he asked, "I love you, Bingyun. Will you be my woman? Are you willing to spend eternity with me?"
"Yes! Yes! I love you, Wuji!" Mu Bingyun nodded repeatedly. For the first time in over a thousand years, tears fell from her eyes. They were tears of joy, overwhelmed with happiness. She jumped into his arms, crying out, "Wuji!"
"Bingyun!" Yun Wuji held her tighter and pulled her closer.
They both stayed like that, feeling each other's warmth, until suddenly a tear in space appeared and Mu Xuanyin stepped out. Hands on her waist, she said, "Now that you're done with the talking, let's get to the serious stuff!"
