Eastern Divine Region, Moon God Realm.
After traveling through the Eastern and Western God Realms and a long period of loneliness, Xia Qingyue finally returned to the Moon God Realm.
Looking at the Moon God Realm that was so close, her state of mind was completely different from any previous moment.
She passed through the Moon God Realm's isolation barrier without any obstruction. Not long after she moved forward, the two Moon Guards detected her presence.
“Xia Qingyue!?”
Two white rays of light flashed suddenly, and two Moon Guards appeared in front of Xia Qingyue, locking her firmly with their tyrannical auras: “How dare you come back!”
Just as they shouted, a deep voice came from behind them: "Back off."
As the space fluctuated, a thin man in golden armor appeared out of thin air. His pupils emitted two balls of intense golden light that was difficult to look at, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that froze the space.
The moment he appeared, the two Moon Guards tensed up and bowed hastily: "Greetings to the Golden Moon God!"
Golden Moon God Yue Wuji glanced at Xia Qingyue with complicated eyes and said calmly: “My king has been waiting for you for many days.”
“…” Xia Qingyue did not speak. She nodded slightly and flew through the air, heading towards Shenyue City.
The huge and empty hall, the soft moonlight could not erase the coldness and silence here. At the end of the hall, the Moon God Emperor sat on the throne of the God Emperor, his face expressionless.
Xia Qingyue slowly approached, stopped in the center of the hall, and knelt down slowly.
“Qingyue…” The Moon God Emperor sighed coldly, “You came back this time, aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”
"My foster father won't kill me." She knelt on the ground and answered faintly.
“…” The Moon God Emperor’s face twitched for a moment, and then he could no longer hold it in, and said with a helpless smile: “Qingyue, can’t you just beg for mercy and be a good boy? Your stubbornness is nothing like your mother’s back then.”
Xia Qingyue closed her beautiful eyes and said softly, “My foster father’s kindness to me is as deep as the sea, but I have damaged his reputation for the rest of his life. Although I know that my foster father will definitely not kill me, but… I am too embarrassed to ask for his forgiveness.”
The Moon God Emperor frowned, and then sighed, “If it were decades ago, I might have really killed you and Yun Che in a rage. I still remember that year, I was in a frenzy and lost my mind. I didn’t calm down for several years, and even did many things that seem crazy now.”
"But you are not your mother, and I am no longer the same person I was back then."
“This time, my anger lasted less than an hour before I calmed down completely. The wedding ceremony that day was said to be for the future of the Moon God Realm, but in reality… it was still an absurd act caused by my anxiety and selfishness. You were also kidnapped by the kindness I showed you over the years. The appearance of Yun Che was perhaps also God’s will… It’s okay if it’s ruined. Thinking about it carefully these past few days, if you hadn’t made that choice that day, I… especially your mother, might have been disappointed.”
Xia Qingyue raised her head, her eyes trembling: “Foster father…”
“Hehe,” the Moon God Emperor shook his head: “Are you surprised that I would think this way? I feel the same way myself. Perhaps… my time limit is really approaching, so there is nothing to worry about.”
"Godfather, you..."
“No need to say more.” The Moon God Emperor waved his hand, his face calm, “It’s not that I completely believe what the Heavenly Mystery Realm says, but over the past period of time, similar feelings have become more and more frequent, and more and more intense.”
“Qingyue, if you want to make up for your guilt towards me and repay my kindness over the years…” The Moon God Emperor’s chest rose and fell, his eyes heavy: “Then inherit my divine power. I have done my best to treat you well over the years, just so that I can feel at ease when I pass on my divine power to you. I know that this is always an ‘imposition’ on you, but… this is the only selfish desire that I cannot let go of.”
“But fortunately, after the changes in the ‘wedding ceremony’, you no longer need to, and it is impossible for you to become the Moon God Emperor. Although it is a great pity for me, I think you will be more likely to accept it… and I can also feel more at ease.”
"..." Xia Qingyue did not answer.
“Tomorrow, I will announce to the public that I have adopted you as my adopted daughter…” The Moon God Emperor wanted to continue speaking, but hesitated for a moment and changed the subject slightly: “Go see your mother. She has been worried about you these days. Let her put her mind at ease first. We can talk about other matters tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Xia Qingyue responded softly, then stood up and walked slowly out of the hall.
“By the way, where is Yun Che?” The Moon God Emperor suddenly asked, “He has not entered the Eternal Heaven Pearl, and up to now, there has been no news about him. The Eternal Heaven Realm must be deeply regretful about this.”
Xia Qingyue stood still and did not answer.
The Moon God Emperor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go see your mother."
Xia Qingyue did not leave, but suddenly said: “Adoptive father, I have truly understood what you said to me three years ago. I also suddenly realized that the real obstacle for me to ‘go home’ in these years was never my adoptive father, but myself.”
After saying this, she walked away quietly.
The Moon God Emperor was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, his brows jumped, and he stood up abruptly, with a rare look of excitement and ecstasy on his face.
"Qingyue, if you really understand, I...will die without regrets!"
……………………
……………………
The small world where Yue Wu Gou lived was always a secret within the Moon God Realm, and few people could get close to it. When approaching, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.
Xia Qingyue's steps were slow and heavy, and no one could understand her thoughts at the moment. Since she saw Yun Che again, her heart and soul had been hit by earth-shaking shocks one after another... Choice, abandonment, escape, fear, helplessness, death, despair, hope...
Her whole body went cold, and her steps suddenly stopped at this moment, because an irresistible and terrible force had firmly suppressed her. In her ears, an extremely cold female voice came:
"Where is Yun Che!"
Xia Qingyue was unable to turn around. She glanced to the side and saw a hint of snow-white skirt and some icy blue hair.
This person is definitely not from the Moon God Realm, yet he was able to sneak into the Moon God Realm without being detected! ?
“Who are you?” Xia Qingyue asked back.
“Answer my question… Where is Yun Che!” The woman’s voice became even colder, and an ice spike extended from behind, piercing Xia Qingyue’s throat.
“…” Xia Qingyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “So, you are Yun Che’s master, Senior Mu Xuanyin.”
The air suddenly condensed a few degrees. After a few breaths of silence, the ice spike that had pierced Xia Qingyue's throat slowly melted away, and the power that had been blocking her body also disappeared.
Xia Qingyue turned around and saw a face so beautiful that it made the world pale in comparison. She was wearing a snow-white dress similar to the one Yun Che wore that day. Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of coldness and icy power that seemed to have frozen all emotions. She bowed gently: "Junior Xia Qingyue, greetings to Senior Mu."
She raised her eyes again, and a strange color flashed in her eyes. She had never thought that the Realm King of the Snow Song Realm, Yun Che's master, would be such a beauty.
“Why did you guess it was me?” Mu Xuanyin asked coldly, looking at Xia Qingyue closely with her icy eyes.
Xia Qingyue said: “Yun Che mentioned to me that Senior Mu is his greatest benefactor in the God Realm. Although he looks cold and heartless, he actually cares for him very much.”
“And you risked great danger to sneak into the Moon God Realm just to find his whereabouts, and your profound strength is extremely high, and your profound energy is extremely cold… Yun Che has been in the Eastern Divine Region for only a few short years, and the only person who can match him is Senior Mu.” She continued: “Moreover, the person outside the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm… is also Senior Mu, right?”
"..."Mu Xuanyin's icy eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Being able to enter the Moon God Realm without being detected, such strength is naturally enough to resist the gray-clothed man beside Qianye Ying’er. It seems that the vast Eastern Divine Region has greatly underestimated Senior Mu’s strength.”
Mu Xuanyin narrowed her icy brows slightly and stared at Xia Qingyue for a long while.
Facing her icy and frightening gaze, Xia Qingyue did not avoid it. Instead, she took the initiative to look into her eyes that were covered with icy blue light: “Don’t worry, senior. I know what to say and what not to say.”
Mu Xuanyin did not deny it, nor did she say a word. She said coldly, “Answer my question. Where is Yun Che? Why did you come back alone?”
“He is in the Dragon God Realm.” Xia Qingyue said.
"Why do you want to keep him in the Dragon God Realm?"
"He was hit by Qianye Ying'er's Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal."
“…What!?” Mu Xuanyin’s expression suddenly changed, and her aura, which had been extremely restrained, suddenly became violently turbulent.
“Don’t worry, senior. The reason why he stayed in the Dragon God Realm is that someone in the Dragon God Realm is trying to remove the Death-Wishing Mark for him.” Seeing the change in Mu Xuanyin’s expression, Xia Qingyue felt a little disappointed: Yun Che had only been in the Snow Song Realm for more than three years, but he actually made this Snow Song Realm King, who had an extraordinary elegance and strength, worry so much about him...
Is it really just master and apprentice?
“Impossible…” Mu Xuanyin’s pupils flickered with coldness. Bingyan was also unable to remain calm: “If this is really the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal, no one except Qianye Ying’er can solve it! In the end…”
Suddenly, her eyebrows moved, and she thought of someone: "Could it be that you are saying..."
“Shen Xi.” Xia Qingyue said these two words softly.
“…” Mu Xuanyin’s icy eyes had been fixed on Xia Qingyue, but she discovered that she remained incredibly calm under her pressure. Moreover, her calmness was the kind that a girl of her age shouldn’t have… She was so calm that it was eerie.
On the contrary... She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she actually felt a vague sense of oppression from Xia Qingyue?
“Can she really remove the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal? And why did she leave Yun Che behind?” Mu Xuanyin asked. It might be possible that Shen Xi could remove the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal. But the samsara forbidden land where she was would never allow any living being to approach, let alone step into it. And she did not find any trace of falsehood on Xia Qingyue’s body.
“It is possible to remove the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal. It was said by Senior Shen Xi himself. It will only take fifty years.” Xia Qingyue answered calmly as always: “As for why she kept Yun Che, it was the result of the good karma she had planted.”
“Not being able to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm is indeed a great pity, but being able to stay by Senior Shen Xi’s side is, for Yun Che, another equally rare opportunity while getting rid of the Death-Wishful Mark. So, Senior Mu, please rest assured for the time being… At least, he will be absolutely safe in the next fifty years.”
Mu Xuanyin's slightly disordered breath slowly calmed down at this time. Indeed, being taken in by Shen Xi was indeed a great opportunity for Yun Che. Although the short-term gains could not be compared to the three thousand years of Eternal Heaven, in the long run, it was better than the three thousand years of Eternal Heaven.
Because that is Shen Xi… the most special existence in the entire God Realm.
But the prerequisite is that he can win Shen Xi's favor.
But… it was rumored that Shen Xi was extremely gentle and kind, but behind her gentleness, she was completely emotionless. She was a person who was extremely indifferent, as if she was born without any emotions.
Can such a person really please her...even a little bit?
