Chapter 279: 279: Alliance with the Sand Country Taiyang agreed to the words his main body had said. If Yue Xuexia's words about the Star Emperor being obsessed with the Moon Goddess are real, then this obsession might fall on Yue Xuexia, who is her incarnation. That is something Shen Jueyang and he didn't want to see. They didn't want this Exiled Star to end the same as the Immortal Sun Empire. "We still have some time. It's like we are going to leave right away. However, creating a star-class formation will cost you a lot. Are you willing to spend almost all of your reserved treasures?" asked Taiyang. Shen Jueyang said, "As long as I can protect her in this life, all sacrifices will be made." "Okay, I will start the blueprint for Star-class Defensive Formation. You will have to help me make it," said Taiyang. Shen Jueyang nods his head and glances at the tent where Yue Xuexia is sleeping and once again disappears. This time he went somewhere to gather the nearby resources to make such a huge formation that covers this whole star they are in. Yue Xuexia wasn't informed about this plan of theirs. --- Taiyang and Shen Jueyang guarded all night and didn't return to the tent. However, when Crown Prince Rasheed and his group woke up, they saw Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang talking to one another again as if they never fought last night. Well, to call it fighting is quite not correct; after all, it was Yue Xuexia who coldly spoke some words, and Shen Jueyang only listened. Crown Prince Rasheed sneaked beside Taiyang and whispered, "Hal aikhtilaqua? Mundh mitaa? Laylat 'amsi?" Translation: [Have they made up? Since when? Last night?] Taiyang raised an eyebrow and responded, "Ma hadha alhara' aladhi taquluhu? Lam yuqatiluu hataa min 'ajl alhaqiqati? Wakan hadha almashhad mushtarakan baynahuma." Translation: [What nonsense are you saying? They didn't even fight for real? That scene was common between them.] He added, "Yumkinuk aydan 'iikhbaruna biqarar janibik 'athna' al'iiftari. Sanahtaj 'iilaa altahaquq min al ard taht alrimal wamuqabalat aleamaliqati. Wabima 'anaha mawjudat fi baladik fayajib 'an tusbih mumathil al'ard fawq alsahra'." Translation: [Also, you can tell us your side's decision during breakfast. We will need to check the land under the sand and meet the giants. Since it is found in your country, you must become the representative of the land above the desert.] Crown Prince Rasheed nodded his head in understanding and said, "Tama aitikhadh alqarari. Laqad aitasalat bialeayilat almalikati. Qararuu daemi wa... qal sidi, althueban al'iilahi, talama 'ana 'awamir 'amirat alqamar yajib 'an 'altazim biha li'anaha sayidatahi. Iinaha 'ukhti al'iilahiat wa in lam takun 'ustad hati al kubra." Translation: [A decision was made. I've contacted the royal family. They decided to support me and... My master, the Snake God, said, as long as the Moon Princess orders, I must comply because she is his master. She is my godsister, though not my grandmaster.] Taiyang grins and comments, "Ya lah min shaqi makar!" Translation: [What a sly brat!] Crown Prince Rasheed grins and says, "Shukran ealaa almujamala!" Translation: [Thanks for the compliment!] Taiyang's lips twitched at the thickness of this prince's face. He said, "Hadha lays mujamalatan raghm dhalik." Translation: [That's not a compliment, though.] The crown prince looked a bit confused and asked in English, "It's not?" Hahahaha~ Everyone in the area who was listening in on their conversation laughed. The silliness of these two men clashed well. It's no different from watching a comedy skit. Tan Bingyu called them over, "Breakfast is ready!" During breakfast, the group had once again gathered, and they started talking about their plans for the day. Their breakfast looks simple; however its ingredients were made from mutated animals full of energy that a cultivator can benefit from. Yue Xuexia made it in a way that the energy can be accumulated in one's body upon intake. Of course, the food intake will be measured by the level of their realms. The higher one's realm is the more one can eat. Crown Prince Rasheed, Lord Junna, and Knight Captain Meraka were new to cultivation and they were only at the Qi Refinement stage. The size of food they can eat is barely half or less on their plate. On the other hand, Tan Bingyu can eat a full plate, and Yue Xuexia can eat at least two to three plates as for the two gluttons, the measure of their intake was made through the number of pots. The crown prince and his group were envious of such a scene. They also wanted to eat more, however, they didn't want to explode from overnourishment. Crown Prince Rasheed can only bite his handkerchief while glaring with envy towards Taiyang and Shen Jueyang. "Ah ~ 'ana aydan 'urid 'an akal 'akthara!" Translation: [Ugh~ I also want to eat more!] Lord Junna pats his prince's shoulder and says, "Yastaslima. hataa tambura wahidatan 'ukhraa (masnueat min alruwbian almutahawiri) yumkin 'an tatasabab fi ainfijar jasad smuka. Madha ean muhawalat hadm altaaqat almawjudat fi jismik awlaan watanawul almazid lahqan." Translation: [Give up. Even one more tempura (made of mutated shrimp) can cause Your Highness's body to explode. How about trying to digest the energy in your body first and eat more later.] Knight Captain Meraka had longed to start meditating seeing what the crown had done as well. As for Lord Junna, he didn't as fast as the two as he still needed to explain what their country had agreed on. Yue Xuexia looked at him and said, "Yumkin lil akh juna 'an yashrah khutatak awlaan. saraa ma yajib taghyiruh walaihtifaz bihi." Translation: [Brother Junna can explain your plans first. I will see what must be changed and retained.] Lord Junna smiled and agreed to Yue Xuexia's request. He started telling her the decision of the royal family and their country. "lam takun biladuna turid 'an tasnae 'aeda'an mae alea maliqati. Iidha kan dhalik mumkina, nawadu 'an nusbih hulafa' lahum. Wamae dhalika, qad la yakun dhalik mmknan bimujarad wuqufina wahdana, qal althueban al'iilah 'anah yastatie tamthil aleayilat almalikat biaietibariha dhirwat qutina. Walakina hadha faqat 'iidha aietabarat 'amirat alqamar 'ana aleiraq al imlaq hu shakhs yastahiqu alsadaqata. Sayatimu aitikhadh jamie alqararat waltaghyirat mae 'akhdh aikhtiar 'amirat al qamar fi alaietibar. Hadha hu mawqifna." Translation: [Our country didn't want to make enemies with the giants. If possible we would like to become their allies. However, that might not be possible with just our standing alone, the Snake God said he can represent the royal family as the peak of our power. But this is only if the Moon Princess deemed the giant race as someone worth befriending. All decisions and changes will be made with the Moon Princess's choice in mind. This is our stance.] It seems the sand country decided to trust the Moon Princess, not because they are their foreign princess but because their Snake God chose to trust her. The Snake God said that even though the Moon Goddess looked cold and sometimes expressionless, she was the type to respect the people she liked. She might be infamous for her strength and cruelty, but she is extremely kind to her people, especially her family. The royal family of the sand country can be considered half of her family even though only in name. But as long as they don't betray her or cause harm to those she deems important, they will be treated as a friendly neighborhood. Taiyang and the rest understood the hidden meaning behind the actions and decisions the sand country had made. They wanted to be on the same side as Yue Xuexia. Even though they cannot be considered as her people or subordinates at least they wanted to become their allies. Lord Junna added, "Laqad aitasalat biladuna bihawashia wayukhatit walia aleahd lildhahab 'iilaa hawashian litawqie mueahadat tahaluf mae baladik. laqad wafaqat baladuk ealaa dhalika. Waeindama taeud 'iilaa watanika, sanati maeak aydan liliqa' zaeim baladik." [Our country has contacted Huaxia and the Crown Prince plans to go to Huaxia to sign an alliance treaty with your country. Your country has agreed to it. When you go home, we will also come with you to meet your country's leader.] Yue Xuexia didn't know about this and looked at Tan Bingyu who understood this gesture and that her mistress wanted to check with their country and she could only excuse herself to call the State Leader, Long Juedi. After a few minutes, Tan Bingyu returned and reported to her mistress, "Everything is as he said, Mistress. Those old men including the Old Master Xia had agreed with the treaty." Yue Xuexia said to Tan Bingyu, "Okay, I see." She moved her gaze to Lord Junna and said, "Ana 'afham kula shay'in. Sa'ukhbiruk bikhitatina. Sanaltaqi bialeimlaq min albab al'amamii wanabhath ean aljumhuri. Hadhih hi altariqat alwahidatu." Translation: [I understand everything. I will tell you our plan. We will meet the giant from the front door and seek an audience. This is the only way.] Bewildered, Lord Junna asked, "Alan yuhajimuna 'iidha dakhalna min al abwab al al'amamiati? Rubama yueamilunana kadukhala'a." Translation: [Will they not attack us if we go through the front doors? They might treat us as intruders.] Shen Jueyang said, "La, hadhihi al altariqat alwahidat lahum hataa la yuhajimuna binyat alqatla. Alearaq aleimlaq yuqatilun almajanina. Iina qitalahum wadarabahum 'asrae min tahdidihim bihayaatihim. Muezam aleamaliqat yatashajarun bi'admighat saghiratin." Translation: [No. That's the only way for them not to attack us with the intention to kill. The Giant Race is fighting maniacs. It is faster to fight them and beat them than threaten them with their lives. Most of the Giants are all brawls with little brains.] Everyone looked at him with the same silent expressions. They have collective thoughts of: 'Only someone of your strength will look down on a giant race. We are just ordinary humans and not yet Gods.'
