Chapter 214: Chapter 123: The Dragon Egg Hatches! The Moon God High Priestess’s Moonlight Baptism

"The Moonlight Witch?" The sound of Alice’s voice reached Su Xuan. He stared at the woman in the crystal ball. She wore a white mask that concealed her face, hiding even her eyes. Her brilliant blue hair flowed like a waterfall, shimmering with tiny points of light.

Although her true face was hidden, Alice recognized her as the Moonlight Witch instantly.

But what confused Su Xuan was that this woman didn’t seem to be the real Moonlight Witch. Then, her voice echoed, "Are you... here for the prophecy?"

The scene in the crystal ball was just a recorded image left behind by the Moonlight Witch.

"Excuse me, are you here for the Moon Ceremony?"

Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, a little girl of about twelve or thirteen entered the tent. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through everything. She curiously asked Su Xuan again, "Are you here for the Moon Ceremony?"

"Mm."

Su Xuan turned and nodded at the girl.

"Yay! My Moonlight Shop is finally open for business!" The girl ran cheerfully over to them. When she noticed the tears welling in Alice’s eyes, she immediately asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I’m... I’m fine." Alice gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head.

"Don’t be sad! Here’s a little gift for you!"

The girl placed a crescent-moon-shaped charm into Alice’s hand, her face beaming with a sweet smile. "This little crescent has the High Priestess’s blessing. It’ll protect you!"

"Thank you."

Comforted by the girl’s gentle words, Alice finally broke into a smile. She stared intently at the small crescent in her hand, feeling a trace of the Moonlight Witch’s presence from it.

"That’s more like it! You look so pretty when you smile!"

Seeing Alice’s smile, the girl smiled happily too. She walked over to the crystal ball and faced Su Xuan, asking with a concerned tone, "Are you the one who needs the Moon Ceremony? I can feel something bad inside you."

"I am."

Su Xuan nodded, his voice a little low. "I’ve been Cursed. I hope the Moon Ceremony can help me suppress this Curse."

As he spoke, he took a Silver Coin from his pocket and handed it to the girl.

"Thank you for your generosity."

The girl happily accepted the Silver Coin, bowed, and then looked back at Su Xuan, instructing, "Please extend your hand toward the crystal ball, but be sure to keep your distance. This crystal ball contains the Power of the High Priestess. It can guide you."

"The High Priestess..."

Hearing the girl’s words, Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’Could the Moonlight Witch be the Moon God Empire’s High Priestess?’

Lost in thought, he reached his hand toward the crystal ball but kept it at a distance of about five centimeters.

Just then, Su Xuan was surprised to see a faint white light begin to flicker at his fingertips.

Immediately after, the image of the woman in the crystal ball gradually faded, replaced by a bright, clear crescent moon.

The crescent moon emitted a brilliant white light, so dazzling that Su Xuan couldn’t help but close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a boundless darkness, surrounded by nothing.

’Where am I?’

Confusion filled Su Xuan’s mind as he discovered he was unable to move.

A few seconds later, a soft ray of moonlight shone down from above, enveloping him.

As he was bathed in the moonlight, Su Xuan felt his body gradually become lighter, as if he were in a wonderland.

He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the moonlight gently wrap around his body. It was like when he was a child, and the older girl next door had gently kissed every inch of his skin...

[Receiving the moonlight’s baptism...]

[Moon Ceremony complete! The Blood Curse has been suppressed!]

After an unknown amount of time, Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

When his vision cleared, he found he was still standing in the tent.

Ivsha and the others were watching him quietly, waiting for the results of the Moon Ceremony.

"Master, how do you feel?"

Alice asked with concern.

"Not bad." Su Xuan looked at his own hands. With the Curse suppressed by the Moon Ceremony, he felt incredibly refreshed, and his craving for blood had completely vanished.

"How long did the ceremony last?" he immediately asked Ivsha.

"About two hours," Ivsha replied.

’Two hours?’

Su Xuan nodded silently, then thanked the young girl. "Thank you for the Moon Ceremony."

"It was my pleasure, my guest."

The girl said with a smile, then continued, "Oh, by the way, guest. I have some other trinkets here that might help with your Curse. Would you like to see?"

As she spoke, she took out a pile of assorted Magic Items for Su Xuan to choose from...

A few minutes later, the group left the tent.

"I look forward to your next visit!"

Besides undergoing the Moon Ceremony, Su Xuan had also purchased several Moonlight Bracelets. These bracelets increased Magic Power Value by 10 points, and he planned to give one to each member of the Guild.

But more than these Magic Items, Su Xuan was concerned about Alice’s Status.

He looked at Alice. Her emotions were a bit complicated.

Alice had once again seen the Moonlight Witch who created her, only to learn that she might be the Moon God Empire’s High Priestess.

The Moon God High Priestess held a lofty position in the Moon God Empire, one that surpassed even the King’s. She was the only person who could communicate with the Gods.

In the Sun Sect Country, her position was equivalent to that of the Pope, though there were still some differences between the two.

This was because the Moon God High Priestess could never leave the Moonlight Altar. As for the specific reason why, that was beyond Su Xuan’s knowledge.

"Don’t worry, Alice."

Su Xuan gently stroked Alice’s head and said softly, "We’ll definitely see the Moonlight Witch again."

"Mhm! Master, I believe you!"

Alice gave a sweet smile, believing Su Xuan’s words without a doubt.

"Let’s go back."

"Okay!"

Just as Su Xuan was about to activate the Teleportation Array to return to the Guild, a group of masked Soldiers from the Moon God Empire passed by, catching his attention. But they quickly vanished from his sight.

A white light flashed, and Su Xuan was back in the Guild.

The Guild was empty. Lucia and the others had not yet returned from their mission.

Su Xuan glanced at the time. It was just about time for the Dragon Egg to hatch.

"Come on," Su Xuan said to Ivsha and Alice, "let’s go welcome our new member."

"A new member?"

Hearing this, a curious expression appeared on Alice’s face.

"Mhm." Su Xuan smiled and led them toward an empty room.

In the room, a massive red Dragon Egg lay quietly in the center, radiating a scorching heat and a dazzling red light.

"Is this that same Dragon Egg from before?" Ivsha asked Su Xuan curiously.

"It is."

Su Xuan nodded.

"But didn’t that egg show no signs of life back then?" Ivsha was very surprised. She remembered that the egg had shown no signs of life at all, but now...

"Mr. Su Xuan."

Just then, the Red Dragon Mother suddenly appeared behind Su Xuan without a sound.

"You’ve worked hard. There are two minutes left before she breaks out of her shell." Su Xuan gently stroked Naida’s hair. Ever since she had sensed signs of life in the Dragon Egg, she had been standing guard here, waiting for it to hatch.

"That’s wonderful! In just two more minutes, my child will hatch!"

Naida’s face was overflowing with a joy as bright as the spring Sunshine, her eyes filled with a mother’s love as she awaited the imminent birth.

As they were talking, the Dragon Egg stirred and began to tremble slightly.

"CRACK~"

As the sharp sound echoed, the atmosphere in the room instantly grew tense. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Dragon Egg, awaiting the arrival of the new life.

Under their watchful gazes, a crack silently spread from the top of the Dragon Egg.
