Chapter 747 The Moon Belongs to No One
Zhao Shuying wished she could go back to the meeting right now.
Even though Yu Zhaohai gave her the greatest authority, she really couldn't make such a big decision on her own. She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a price that you are satisfied with."
Yu Xunge nodded without making any promises. Even though she had already made up her mind that she would agree as long as the price offered by Dinghai was not too outrageous, she would not say it out loud.
She said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Just text me when you've decided. I'm going out later, so come find me at the earliest tomorrow."
Zhao Shuying agreed, and before leaving, she asked, "What are your requirements regarding Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo?"
The shrewd politicians in Dinghai had long seen through Yu Xunge's wavering and ambiguous attitude towards her relatives.
They helped Yu Xunge trap them in the Su family manor, and even took the blame for the huge false accusation that "Dinghai imprisoned Yu Xunge's family members as hostages in order to control Yu Xunge."
This was the first time they had brought this matter up between them, but Zhao Shuying's underlying meaning was clear: if you are inconvenient or unwilling to do it yourself, Dinghai can do it for you.
As for why they were killed, Dinghai will never ask. We are willing to be your scapegoats, carrying you around for drinks and songs. We'll do the dirty work, so you can fly with peace of mind. We guarantee you won't have any dark history.
Upon hearing these two names from so long ago, Yu Xunge remained silent for a few seconds before sighing, "Just keep them there. Don't take them to dungeons, and don't give them any special treatment because of me. Just keep them alive."
Zhao Shuying neither pressed for the reasons nor offered any advice. She also made no comment on Yu Xunge's choice. After hearing Yu Xunge's answer, she simply said "okay" and left.
After seeing off the villa's only guest, Yu Xunge leaned against the back gate with his arms crossed, lost in thought for a long time.
[The Cat's Ideal] Flying slowly around her with several cats, it sensed Yu Xunge's unhappiness and was trying to cheer her up in its own way.
However, the "Grumpy Moon," unlike yesterday's harmonious coexistence and even the subtle rivalry with "Cat's Ideal" for attention, seems to be throwing a tantrum again, keeping its distance from her. Moreover, the moon inside is flashing extremely fast, as if it's so angry that it keeps taking deep breaths.
This was really interesting. Yu Xunge asked instinctively, "Are you angry?"
To her surprise, the "Raging Moon" actually responded; it floated over and nodded vigorously, causing the lantern's handle to sway back and forth.
"You think I should kill everyone I hate?"
The retro lantern nodded again.
Yu Xunge's worries subsided considerably.
She felt like she understood why the "Grumpy Moon" wasn't a good match for her.
It felt that its revenge was not swift or decisive enough, and it didn't like it.
She simply didn't know how to explain her feelings to a piece of moonlight.
She could only see hatred, as if revenge was as simple as opening an umbrella on a rainy day. Anyone who was a step too late to open an umbrella and let the rain fall on them was a fool, and anyone who had an enemy but didn't kill them was an idiot. But in her heart, it was a difficult question to answer.
She was happy... She grew up in happiness, even if it was fake.
She didn't know how to express the hatred, regret, struggle, and pain in her heart.
I don't know how to tell the moon that hatred is sometimes more than just hatred; it's mixed with many other emotions.
Not knowing how to explain his sense of relief, Yu Qingshan only loved the identity of "younger brother". He projected himself onto Yu Xunhuan, so he seemed feudal and old-fashioned, but he didn't care how many times Yu Xunhuan had married into the family. He just wanted to try to return to the circle where Yu Zhaohai was and defeat her. Yi Qiuguo only ever loved herself. She only followed the winner.
It turns out it wouldn't have mattered who did it...
She could have easily given Dinghai a simple command to make them disappear, without having to carry such a heavy burden. But when the command came to her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Blood ties can be broken with gems, but the invisible shackles in one's heart are much harder to break.
She couldn't help but wonder, under what circumstances did Mistblade invent [Springtime Is Not Too Late]...?
That's it. She never wants to see them again in her life. From now on, she will pretend that she has no father or mother.
Just then, the [Raging Moon] floated before her eyes. A quarter of the fragments inside had been consumed. The moon struggled to emerge from the surface of the fragments, revealing its tip. It flickered at an extremely strange frequency, like some kind of melody.
Yu Xunge tried to understand, but many of her guesses were wrong.
Until the "Cat's Ideal" flew to her ear, the rudder gently touched her, and accompanied by a meow, a thought appeared in her mind.
—【The Angry Moon】is saying that as long as you kill them, its compatibility with you will greatly increase when it levels up.
Yu Xunge was surprised that the divine relics could not only communicate directly with her, but could also translate between each other, but she shook her head and refused without hesitation.
She said, "I went along with your likes and dislikes this time, but what about after that? Am I supposed to do everything according to your wishes? As far as I know, compatibility can change all the time, right?"
Otherwise, there wouldn't be instances of animals leaving their owners due to low compatibility.
Yu Xunge looked at [The Irritable Moon] and said slowly and solemnly, "I will not change the decision I have made because of your likes or dislikes. My own feelings and thoughts are the most important. I do need you, but I am not your possession. Don't try to control me."
She can accept adjustments to the plan, but she will not accept coercion or manipulation.
After saying that, she turned and left.
【The Cat's Ideal】flew away with a few kittens clinging to the ship's wheel, refusing to leave, leaving only the retro lantern floating in place, quietly emitting a soft light.
Yu Xunge left with a carefree attitude, and so did she.
She wasn't being stubborn, nor was she deliberately saying the opposite to provoke "Raging Moon".
The compatibility between [Raging Moon] and myself is indeed not high, but on the other hand, [Raging Moon] has a skill with the exact same name.
This means that there must be some compatibility between them; she and [Grumpy Moon] must be on the same wavelength in some way, which is why they met.
She didn't know how long the "Raging Moon" had been waiting in the depths of the Zelan Sea, but the master it finally found was herself.
Even if it doesn't like this about itself, it won't leave it so easily.
The description of "The Grumpy Moon" is "Someone stole a piece of the moon and locked it up; the moon belongs to no one."
She agrees with that statement.
The moon belongs to no one, and she doesn't belong to this moon either.
