Chapter 568: Chapter 568
The sudden arrival of the Moon Goddess had cut off the conversation between the God of Wisdom and the Immortal Sun Emperor. though it has also saved the lives of everyone in the hall. No one would like to see an Imperial Immortal losing his temper in such an enclosed space. Yue Xuexia actually wouldn’t have noticed if not for some book falling on her head when the whole hall shook due to the overwhelming presence of Shen Jueyang’s aura.
Yue Xuexia complains, "Can you not abruptly release your aura in a place filled with people. It’s dangerous!"
"So what is the real reason?" Shen Jueyang asked.
The Moon Goddess responded, "A thick book fell on my head while reading, do you think it’s not painful!"
The Immortal Sun Emperor chuckles and helps Yue Xuexia to take a seat. He checked her head for bumps planning on using an ointment to relieve the pain. He knew that Yue Xuexia doesn’t like pain the most.
"It hurts! Don’t press on it!" The Moon Goddess complained as she didn’t know whether to check the bump on her head herself or pull that heavy and put medicine on it.
Shen Jueyang said, "Sorry. I’ll do it as gently as possible."
The God of Wisdom silently watches the two who were intimate but not lovers, supposed to be enemies but stays together. So much contradictions and a past that cannot be changed, but the two of them are still willing to be at each other’s side.
Yue Xuexia noticed the strange smile on the God of Wisdom’s face while looking at her and Shen Jueyang. This meaningful gaze and smile made Yue Xuexia a bit uncomfortable. Even so, she didn’t directly ask anything about it. She doesn’t have much interest in things that don’t involve her family.
"Senior, I would like to ask if you have a book about a female emperor who lives in an Ancient Crimson Palace," Yue Xuexia asked.
The God of Wisdom responded, "Are you talking about the Merciless Empress? I have indeed made a few books about her." With a wave of his hands a few books from out of nowhere flew towards him and three thick books with red covers appeared on his hands.
"These books had everything about the Merciless Empress. I didn’t know much about her as she comes from another cosmos, not from our cosmos. Will this be enough, Moon Goddess?" The God of Wisdom said.
Yue Xuexia accepts the books and prepares to leave, she lightly bows her head towards the God of Wisdom before taking her leave.
"Thank you, Senior. This is helpful for me. Please excuse me. You can continue your conversation," said the Moon Goddess.
The Immortal Sun Emperor asked, "Are you not going to stay with us?"
"No need. Every time you get mad it’s about your previous identity. My strength isn’t enough to get involved. Moreover, you are not so keen to let me know about it. So wouldn’t ask anything," said the Moon Goddess.
Shen Jueyang wanted to say anything but no words had come out of his mouth. However, he had asked her one thing.
"Xue’er, if... if I ever ask for you to help me in the future... Would you lend me a hand?" The Immortal Sun Emperor asked.
Yue Xuexia who was about to leave turned around and met his eyes. "If my strength is enough I am willing to fight by your side. Though at this moment I am unable to do such a thing." She took her leave after leaving these few words.
What she didn’t know was that these words were enough for Shen Jueyang to feel giddy as if something was tickling his heart. He deep in his heart was delighted by what he had just heard. Though Yue Xuexia remains expressionless towards his feelings, for other things she treats him as equally important as her family. After all, in the mind of the Moon Goddess, it was Shen Jueyang who had helped her change her life to what it is right now.
The Immortal Sun Emperor covers his face with one hand but one can see the corner of his lips which was calm at first slowly rising to an upturn shape as he started laughing. The sound of his laughter was free and unhindered. There are also hints of joys within.
"Haha~ Just as I thought... she is truly a person that is hard to let go!" Shen Jueyang said.
The God of Wisdom added, {But she is also the hardest kind of woman to catch. First you need to get back her heart. Even in your state fighting against the heavens of a small world is not possible. You’ll die.}
"I know. I didn’t say I will fight heaven with this avatar. If it’s to take back her heart, only with my real body can I do it. I will take back her heart with my own hands." The Immortal Sun Emperor said. Read full story at novel•fire.net
After the Moon Goddess had taken her leave, the conversation about the Immortal Star Emperor had resumed. This is the very enemy that Shen Jueyan wanted to kill with his own hand. If possible he wanted to destroy this man’s soul so he will never be able to reincarnate ever again. That’s how much hatred Shen Jueyang possessed towards Xing Xieju.
Meanwhile, as the God of Wisdom had occupied the Immortal Sun Emperor to avoid him from going out of control and destroying his library, Yue Xuexia had found another desolated spot and started reading about the Merciless Empress. After seeing that female emperor whose face was hidden behind the mask yet seems to know her made her interested about the lady’s background.
Yue Xuexia started reading the first book which seems to be an introduction about the Merciless Empress and her background.
[No one knows her name but her other name was infamous in all kinds of battlefields. The one who rules the world with blood, the Merciless Empress. She was born from an unloved princess consort. Born without love from her mother and father, with her siblings looking down on her and bullying her. Her life was even worse than the beggars on the street. At least the beggars can freely go anywhere they want. Only she was unable to leave the cold palace where she and her consort mother lived.]
[Her consort mother was from the enemy nation. She was sent to the Crimson Empire as a hostage princess. But was raped by the current emperor of the Crimson Empire. When the emperor had sobered, he thought that the princess consort had schemed against him and had no choice but to marry her as one of his consort due to her noble standing. However, right after the wedding the princess consort was sent to the cold palace.]
[It was said that she had tried to poison the emperor. Normally, she was to be beheaded. But after the emperor learned that the princess consort was pregnant, he had spared her life and thrown her to the cold palace. The Princess Consort who was wishing for her death hated the baby in her womb who prevented her from getting the ending she wanted. She tried all kinds of things to kill the baby in his womb, but no matter what she did, the child in her body didn’t die.]
[The princess consort was terrified by this result. In the end, she didn’t dare to do anything on the child inside of her in fear of the unknown. Ten months later, the child in the womb of the princess consort was born. Everyone in the Crimson Empire was delighted by the birth of this imperial princess. It was said that the imperial princess was born with crimson hair and eyes. She was blessed by the empire and loved by the country bestowing the color of red on her.]
[While the others are delighted by the imperial princess’s birth, her two parents weren’t happy at all. The Princess Consort felt that the child she had given birth to was a monster. She was born to curse her for everything she had done while pregnant. On the other hand, the current emperor was jealous. He is a former prince born from a concubine and the only reason he got the throne is because he had killed the former emperor and all of his siblings.]
[Even after seating on the throne, the nobles and people of the empire never actually see him as their emperor but just a temporary puppet emperor that can be replaced anytime. So when the Imperial Princess was born and was loved by the minister and the empire, he hated her to his core.]
[The emperor plotted with the princess consort who is also the imperial princess’ mother. Though the emperor and the princess consort also hated one another, the fear they felt from the growth of the imperial princess cannot be ignored. In the end, they had made a decision together. They wanted to kill the Imperial Princess before she grew up and become someone they cannot control.]
