"I've retly hit a bottlene my Frozen Cloud Profound Arts," Chu Yueli said softly as she took a seat across from him. "Brother-in-w, since you're the one who improved the Frozen Cloud Arts, I've e to seek your help."

  Previously, she was at the sixth stage of the Frozen Cloud Arts, but after switg to the improved version, her realm dropped to the fifth stage, and she hit a bottleneck, uo return to the sixth stage. Since Yun Wuji created the new Frozen Cloud Arts, she decided to take this opportunity to seek his guidance.

  *I don't know which stage she was, in the novel. If anyone knows leave a ent.*

  As for why she came to him at night, perhaps even she didn't know.

  "Hmm, give me your hand," Yun Wuji said, extending his hand toward her.

  Chu Yueli hesitated; she had never had any physical tact with a man before. However, after reminding herself that this was her brother-in-w, she extended her hand, allowing him to hold her wrist.

  When he held her hand, a warm sensation spread through her body, f and soothing. She nearly let out a moan, but as she was immersed in the feeling, it quickly faded. Yun Wuji had already let go of her wrist, leaving her slightly disappointed and embarrassed at the same time.

  "You're fag a bottleneck because you misuood your cultivation teique," Yun Wuji expined as he leaned ba his chair after releasing her hand. "Although you cultivate ice profound strength, remember that all ice, snow, and water profound strength inally stem from the water w."

  "Water w?" Chu Yueli blinked, clearly surprised. This was the first time she had heard suformation.

  "In this world, everything is governed by ws," Yun Wuji tinued. "The Law of Water, the Law of Fire, the Law of Wind, the Law of Lightning, the Law of Earth—these are the five fual elemental ws of the Primal Chaos Realm." As he spoke, he raised his palm. Fire ighen transformed into a water ball, which shifted into a mini tornado, followed by a spark of lightning, and finally, a small mound of yellow soil.

  Chu Yueli's eyes widened in shock. It was on knowledge that even the most talented individuals could only cultivate up to three elements, and that was merely a legend. She had never seen anyone trol more than two. Yet, in front of her, someone was shattering this belief, demonstrating trol over at least five elements.

  "There are also the Law of Light and the Law of Darkness," Yun Wuji added, his smile widening at her shocked expression. "These are high-grade elemental ws that stand above the five basies." As he spoke, a gentle white light appeared in his hand.

  "Light and darkness? Such eleme?" Chu Yueli excimed in surprise.

  "Yes, light is very rare. They are ws, not simply elements." Yun Wuji nodded and expined. "Iire universe, there aren't many who cultivate the Law of Light."

  In truth, only two people in the universe cultivate the Law of Light, he and Shen Xi. However, even if that was the truth, he khat g this would sound childish and boastful. The universe was vast, and no one couldn't be certain of the exaumber of people cultivating profound light. How could he expin the source of his knowledge?

  "Oher hand, Darkness is easier to cultivate but hard to trol," Yun Wuji tinued. "It's unstable and shorten your lifespan, and in rare cases, it might even cause mental instability. Darkness excels at destru and corrosion, while Light is best for healing and recovery."

  "Is that so? They are opposites of each other," Chu Yueli said.

  "That's right," Yun Wuji agreed with a nod. "Light and Darkness are even more inpatible than water and fire."

  "There are other ws, like Spad Time, but let's get back to your ice profound energy," Yun Wuji said, steering the versation ba track.

  "Water is formless and shapeless," Yun Wuji expined. "If you put water into a cup, it bees the cup. If you pour it into a teapot, it bees the teapot. Water flow or crash; it's flexible and tranquil." He demonstrated this by filling a cup with water and then shaking it to create ripples on the surface before the water settled bato ess.

  *Yun Wuji taught this to Bruce Lee.*

  "Ice Profound Energy is essentially part of the Water Law, yet yoing against the nature of water," Yun Wuji expined. "You bee rigid and inflexible, trying to forcefully freeze your emotions with teiques instead of naturally achieving it through enlighte. That's why, despite cultivating the Froze Arts and paying a heavy pripared to other sects, your sect has never produced a powerhouse above the Emperor Realm. You haven't even bee the foremost se this remote empire."

  Chu Yueli was astonished as if a new world had opened before her. These were cepts she had never known or even imagined. Although she felt that he was subtly critig her sect, she couldn't deny that what he said was the truth.

  He already demonstrated his abilities and uanding of their sect when he modified the Frozen Cloud Arts.

  Yun Wuji ignored her rea and tinued with his expnation. "You o align with the nature of water and uand its stillness, like a calm ke. Otherwise, you'll stray from the right path, and your future achievements will be very limited."

  "Thank you, Brother-in-w. Your expnation has beed me greatly," Chu Yueli said as she stood up and bowed deeply. She felt great admiration for him.

  "Haha, no need for formalities. We're family, so it's normal to help each other," Yun Wuji said with a light ugh. It felt nice hearing her call him "brother-in-w," it would've beeer if she had done so while panting. He shook his head inwardly, he had bee very lustful retly, he wasn't like this in the past.

  'Perhaps it's a side effect of the dragon blood,' Yun Wuji thought.

  "Yes, family," Chu Yueli murmured, her eyes being distant. She and her sister were orphans adopted by the pace mistress, and the cept of family felt very distant to her.

  For a moment, when she looked at the moon, Chu Yueli saw a bald man waving at her and saying something. When she blihe man disappeared. 'It must have been an illusion,' she thought.

  "I'll be ting on you iure, brother-in-w," Chu Yueli said, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Yun Wuji again. Her smile was beautiful and captivating. This was the first she smiled in a very long time.

  He was momentarily stunned by her beautiful smile. After regaining his posure, he replied with a smile, "Sure, you e to me anytime."

  The two talked until dawn when Chu Yueli finally said her goodbyes to Yun Wuji.

  Yun Wuji returo his room; g Yue was still asleep, and he didn't want to wake her up. He sat on the sofa, cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused on his soul. He always allocated some time to cultivate his dragon soul, though it had only been a short time since he obtaihe Dragon God's soul, and he hadn't made much progress.

  Light shohrough the window onto g Yue's face. She slowly opened her eyes and looked to her side. Seeing the space beside her empty, her sleepiness vanished, and she quickly got up. As she was about to leave the room, she noticed Yun Wuji sitting on the sofa.

  g Yue patted her chest in relief and walked closer to him. She squatted quietly, resting her cheek in her hand as she looked at his face.

  After a while, Yun Wuji opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

  "Hehe, nothing~" g Yue stuck out her tongue and giggled. "Good m, young noble."

  "I'm not Li Qiye, so don't call me that," Yun Wuji said.

  "Who is Li Qiye?" g Yue blinked, w if this Li Qiye was some well-known expert.

  "Nothing, it's just a crow," Yun Wuji didn't expin.

  "Oh, I'm hungry, young noble. Please make breakfast~" g Yue said, losing i when she heard it was just a crow.

  "Who's the master here? Shouldn't you be the one preparing food for your master?" Yun Wuji rubbed his forehead helplessly. He wondered why he was so tale everything, even his cooking skills were almost frightening.

  "pared to your skills, the food I make tastes like mud," g Yue said with a helpless expression, however, her eager eyes betrayed her.

  "Hmm, you seem quite hungry. How about starting with some protein?" Yun Wuji said, pointing to his little dragon. He couldn't let his maid starve, right?

  "..." g Yue looked at him silently for a moment befetting to work to get her dose of m protein.

  Time passed quickly, and a few days went by in a fsh. Chu Yueli tio stay at the Yun Pace, visiting Yun Wuji every night to chat. They discussed many topics, including cultivatios, the ti, and even romance.
