Chapter 886: 886: Are you willing?
After the treatment on the Fox Family, the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor left the temple giving them some time. It was unknown what the family of three had spoken after they left, but this no longer had anything to do with the Moon Goddess and her group. By the time they left the temple, First Elder Yao appeared beside Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang with her head lowered. She immediately followed after them once she noticed that they were leaving the temple.
With respect in her eyes, the First Elder Yao lowered her head before the Goddess of the Moon saying, "Thank you so much for saving our clan. The Mythical Fox Tribe will definitely repay this favor. It was also thanks to you that our Queen and our King had finally reunited at heart."
"Don’t be so sure. Obsession is not something that can be easily forgotten. It would be better if you avoid seeing anything related to the Immortal Star Emperor and also tell your king. Do not hesitate to show his feelings for his wife. His hesitation was the culprit. Your queen had ended up in that state." The Goddess of the Moon said.
She added, "Also you shouldn’t forget about my payment. This is the treatment of the Divine Doctor. You cannot skip the payment to a Divine Doctor."
After leaving the dumbfounded First Elder Yao, Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang didn’t return to where everyone else was staying. They had stayed at the temple for too long that when they had gotten out the sun had longed to set which had been replaced by the moon after. The two decided to enjoy the scenery within the village and found a high place where they could watch the village and the night sky full of stars and a full moon above their heads. Sitting on the grassy ground, the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t speak to one another, just accompanied each other.
It was at this moment that the almost gone system had once again appeared before the Goddess of the Moon. It appeared without caring for the presence of the Immortal Sun Emperor. After all, this man had longed to know of its existence for a very long time. This time the system didn’t appear as a cuddly, killer whale shape instead into a small man wearing black red ancient robes with his obsidian colored hair tied up and half of his face hidden behind a mask made of black fog. Behind these masks is a pair of deep crimson red-gold eyes.
[Ding! Host it’s been awhile~.]
"System?" Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang calls.
[The host had found another new location. You can sign in to this village of the Mythical Fox Tribe. Do you want to sign-in?]
The Goddess of the Moon didn’t answer right away but the Immortal Sun Emperor spoke up, "Why didn’t you ask her to sign in when we first entered the Outer Haven system?"
[There is nothing special at the Outer Haven. Do you want Xue’er to get trash items as rewards?]
The tone of the system compared when talking to the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor is completely different. Towards the Goddess of the Moon, the system spoke like a patient and gentle system but towards the Sun Emperor of the Immortal Sun Empire, he spoke in a monotone, cold voice as if he didn’t want to waste time with him. This actually surprised Yue Xuexia. After all, before she had gotten the system, the former voice of the system was Shen Jueyang.
The thoughts of the Moon Goddess at the current situation: ’How come they aren’t getting along? Aren’t they supposed to be acquainted?’
"Trash items are indeed bad. Can’t you just change the rewards for something better? A courtyard or something can do as well," said Shen Jueyang.
The System retorted, [Giving Xue’er a courtyard is not a problem. But she is not even staying this long in this place. What is the use of the courtyard.]
"It is useful. We could have headed there now to go home and rest and not stay in this village. It’s too undeveloped, it’s no different than staying just right at the forest. You wanted Xue’er to sleep in such a forest area, there are lots of bugs and mosquitos in this place!" complained the Immortal Sun Emperor.
[Xue’er is not even complaining but a man like you had all complaints. Are you even a man?]
"My complaints are all for Xue’er’s sake. Whatever, even if you don’t give it, I will just have it all prepared. You are unreliable!"
[What the hell did you say?!]
The Goddess of the Moon watched the Immortal Sun Emperor and the system bicker for a while enjoying the show. Even though she doesn’t smile, the mirth of her gaze cannot be hidden. It takes a while for the two men to calm down and notice what they have done. By the time, one man and one system noticed they had intentionally ignored the Goddess of the Moon, the two turned their heads to look at Yue Xuexia who was covering her lips hiding a yawn yet the gathering tear at the corner of her eyes shows how tired she is.
Yue Xuexia upon feeling two pairs of eyes falling on to her asked, "Are you two done? Can I sign in now? Or go back to sleep."
Despite Yue Xuexia’s body being refined to a divine body, the fact that her soul was injured cannot be changed for now. That’s why from time to time, especially when she uses her abilities, she would feel sleepy. Though it wasn’t as frequent as before, this state of her will not disappear unless her soul injuries are fully healed. Well, she is lazy by nature so this kind of state isn’t actually known for Yue Xuexia, it’s just the difference of sleeping early or later.
The two men sighed together and immediately stopped their fight.
[Xue’er, you can just sign in for tomorrow. There isn’t much difference.] The system said.
The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang stood up and carried her in his arms, "Go sleep. I will carry you back."
Yue Xuexia whose eyes were closing slowly didn’t respond until her eyes fully closed under the gaze of the two men. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, the system brought out a blanket out of nowhere and covered Yue Xuexia with it.
The system suddenly looked at Shen Jueyang, [Your old enemies are waking up and the ones behind the Fairy Queen and the Immortal Star Emperor had already noticed her. If you don’t want to lose her again you must get stronger. The enemies aren’t merely emperors this time.]
The expression on the Immortal Sun Emperor turns serious and he keeps on staring at Yue Xuexia’s sleeping face.
"What happened in our previous life will never happen again. This time I will be showing no mercy to anyone who dares to harm her," said Shen Jueyang. "However, the injuries in her soul. What should be done? Can it not be healed faster?"
[Her injuries were caused by another Primordial God. Unless you become one and help her remove the dao lingering in her wounds, you can only wait for her to heal naturally. She would heal faster now that she had inherited the Primordial Lightning God’s throne. However, because of this the other living Primordial Gods had noticed her presence. Whether that will be for her good or not will depend on the whims of those ancient beings. Watch out for their apostles. They will most likely target her, a newly enthroned Primordial God.]
"I want to become a Primordial God. Is there a way for me to do so?" The Immortal Sun Emperor.
However, unexpectedly once this question was asked, the system didn’t respond right away instead it suddenly turned eerily silent. Shen Jueyang noticed this as well and didn’t understand why the system suddenly turned quiet like this.
"System, are you still there?" The Immortal Star Emperor asked.
The System took a while before responding, [You becoming a Primordial God is not impossible. But... You might not want to do it.]
"How do I become a Primordial God?" Shen Jueyang asked with a serious expression. He realized that his way of becoming a Primordial God seems to be completely different from how Yue Xuexia does. The silence of the system who seems to know something turned quiet for a long moment as if thinking how to explain it in words he would be able to accept.
[You have to absorb all your soul fragments, including Taiyang and the Sun God in Yue Xuexia’s necklace and swallow the true sons of worlds as your nourishment. Only by controlling all the suns in existence will you understand the purest dao of fire and transform it into a sun.]
[The question is whether you are willing to devour your soul fragments. After all, for Xue’er, Taiyang is her younger brother. Are you willing to do it?]
SILENCE~
Upon hearing this explanation the Immortal Sun Emperor turned quiet and still. His other soul fragments he doesn’t mind absorbing them back but Shen Taiyang he cannot do it. He had longed to treat that clone of his as his family and brother. There is also the fact that Yue Xuexia loves Taiyang as her family. Right now, for the Moon Goddess, family is her most important thing in her life. Touching is making an enemy of her, the kind where she kills.
