Chapter 288: 288: Moon Goddess's Blessing As the domineering aura of Shen Jueyang fell on the temple those who were punished can only lay on the ground as if they were pushed on it and those who were spared can only watch as people fell on the ground unable to make any movements. Suddenly, Yue Xuexia's voice once again resounded in the whole temple and was talking to the giant called Rino. Yue Xuexia voice questions, "Rino, thy choice. Shall thee believeth me and alloweth me to cureth thy daught'r, 'r hark to thy shaman's w'rds and alloweth thy daught'r to kicketh the bucket?" Translation: [Rino, your choice. Will you believe me and allow me to cure your daughter, or listen to your shaman's words and let your daughter die?] The old shaman, despite the pressure, tries to delude Rino from the path he thought is wrong. He shouted, "Hark not to those folk, Rino. Thee knoweth what yond is! Yond is not an illness n'r t is a disease. Yond's a beshrew. A beshrew yond ranneth into our raceth." Translation: [Don't listen to them, Rino. You know what that is! That is not an illness nor is it a disease. That's a curse. A curse that ran into our race.] Rino knows that's why he was even more desperate. He had already lost his wife and now he is about to lose his daughter as well. His tears were strolling down his face, confused yet clear at the same time. He was just in denial and there is even a bit of hatred towards his own race. He says, "If 't be true so, wherefore is't at each moment me. First, mine own jointress. The lady hadst nev'r woken up once aft'r being curs'd. Aft'r h'r death, I wast in most wondrous teen and only mine own daught'r becameth mine own sole solace. How cometh at which hour the beshrew strikes again, t wast mine own daught'r who is't hadst been curs'd next? wouldn't t beest me next aft'r mine own daught'r?" Translation: [If so, why is it always me. First, my wife. She had never woken up once after being cursed. After her death, I was in great pain and only my daughter became my sole solace. How come when the curse strikes again, it was my daughter who had been cursed next? Wouldn't it be me next after my daughter?] The old shaman looked guilty for a reason and Rino actually noticed it. He couldn't believe the guess in his heart and his whole body was trembling. Giant Rino questioned, "Bid not me! The beshrew targeteth can beest chosen thee've hath chosen mine own family!?" Translation: [Don't tell me! Can the curse target be chosen? You've chosen my family!?] As Rino speaks, his voice turns icy and full of rage. The old shaman avoided his eyes, even the other giants in the temple avoided his gaze. The more they avert their eyes the colder Rino's heart is. Rino suddenly shouted, "I am a warri'r of the sand giant tribe. If 't be true thee asketh me to kicketh the bucket f'r mine own raceth I am willing. Howev'r, to targeteth the females of mine own family. Aren't thee ashamed!? to beest did save by the sacrifices of someone weak'r than thou art!" Translation: [I am a warrior of the sand giant tribe. If you ask me to die for my race I am willing. However, to target the females of my family. Aren't you ashamed!? To be saved by the sacrifices of someone weaker than you are!] The old shaman looked even guiltier with these words, that they are not willing to raise their heads. Even though this is not a decision they made, just for the fact that they didn't hardly deny this order made them as guilty as the one who commanded it. Yue Xuexia said, "Cometh out. The state of thy daught'r is dang'rous!" Translation: [Come out. The state of your daughter is dangerous.] Upon hearing the urgent words of Yue Xuexia, Giant Rino no longer hesitated and ran out of the temple. Feeling the pressure above them gone, the old shaman and all other giants all come out to see this woman telling them Rino that she can heal his daughter. However, when they all came out something unexpected welcomed them. The bright sky above their heads was covered with a slight cover of darkness. This time even the stars had appeared in the black sky above them. But what attracted their eyes is the lady seated on the crescent moon wearing modern clothes yet her aura is completely divine unlike before where they can feel her aura as a human. Everyone looks at Yue Xuexia descending from her moon, and she activates her Yin Moon Physique. The giants were baffled at the beginning and all started kneeling before Yue Xuexia. However, she ignores them and only looks at Rino. Rino was shocked only for a moment as he stared at the little girl whom he had taken a liking to. He would have never expected that Little Moon is a Goddess. She is not simply a Goddess, but the Moon Goddess their race revere. "Oh goddess! Thanketh thee for listening to thy s'rvant's pleas." Translation: [Oh goddess! Thank you for listening to your servant's pleas.] This gentle Giant's tears couldn't help but fall once again. For a giant and a warrior of his level to shed tears means despair beyond his control. He could see his father, Yue Yuya's figure on him. During their lowest, his father was willing to lower his head to his siblings to ask for help just so he can feed them his family. A father's love for his children is deep. They are willing to sacrifice anything just to give a better life for their children. Yue Xuexia, at first, wanted to deny that she isn't the Moon Goddess. However, seeing his faith towards her, Yue Xuexia couldn't reject it. She said, "Showeth me thy daught'r. I shall purify h'r soul from the beshrew.' Translation: [Show me your daughter. I will purify her soul from the curse.] Rino lifted his daughter towards Yue Xuexia. A giant child is big, it was something Yue Xuexia couldn't carry in her size, but seeing the close eyes of the young child, she can feel her suffering from the traces of tears from the corner of the child's eyes. Yue Xuexia gently reaches out a hand and softly wipes the corner of the giant child's eyes. She whispered with a gentle and mellow voice. "Caterwauling not anym're, dram one. The teen shall wend hence soon~." Translation: [Don't cry anymore, little one. The pain will go away soon~] Under everyone's eyes Yue Xuexia used her divine skill of healing. A golden-silvery light fell on the giant child. Under this moonlight, a green smog comes out of the child followed by a terrible scream that comes with it. All the giants in the vicinity witnessed the scene in shock, the lost vitality of the child had also come back. However, her white hair didn't turn back to black instead it became silver. The same color as the moonlight. Slowly, the child's eyes fluttered and opened. She looked around in a daze and when she saw Yue Xuexia she smiled joyously. "Moon. Pretty. Goddess?" [Moon. Quaint. Goddess?] The awakened child muttered. Yue Xuexia said, "Valorous m'rning, dram one." Translation: [Good morning, Little one.] Rino cried in happiness as he hugged his daughter in his arms. "Arin! thanketh the goddess! thee did wake up. Thou art well enow anon!" exclaims Rino in delight. Translation: [Arin! Thank the Goddess! You woke up. You are okay now!] All the giants were stunned. If not for witnessing with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it. That light from the sky just now was connected to the moon that appeared above them. It heals the child of Rino and removes the curse in her. The curse was truly removed. It's just that they couldn't understand why the child's hair turned to silver from white. Rino also noticed his daughter's hair and asked, "Goddess, mine own daught'r's hair. Wherefore didst t turneth to silv'r? is the lady not completely did heal?" Translation: [Goddess, my daughter's hair. Why did it turn to silver? Is she not completely healed?] Yue Xuexia answered, "I gaveth h'r mine own qi which is mine own blessing to h'r. With t, the lady shall nev'r beest curs'd again. Actually, thee shouldst taketh t too?" Translation: [I gave her my qi which is my blessing to her. With it, she will never be cursed again. Actually, you should receive it too?] Yue Xuexia reached out her hand and put her small hand on Rino's huge head, a part of Rino's black hair turned silver similar to his daughter's hair. She added, "A min'r blessing is enow f'r thee. Howev'r, to completely free thy daught'r thee wilt destroyeth the source of this beshrew. Thee shouldst already knoweth the source." Translation: [A minor blessing is enough for you. However, to completely free your daughter you must destroy the source of this curse. You should already know the source.] Giant Rino thought for a moment and suddenly realized what the Moon Goddess meant and his face turned serious at the thought. However, he didn't openly tell anyone about it and instead pulled his daughter to show their respect to Yue Xuexia. He also ignored the envious gazes falling on him and his daughter. After all, the goddess's blessing is so powerful. Rino and Arin kneel down before Yue Xuexia and thank her for saving them. "Thanketh thee, moon goddess! we shalt s'rve thee with all our heart starting the present day! I've eke did declare to leaveth the tribe f'r this moment. S'rving only the moon goddess until the endeth." Translation: [Thank you, Moon Goddess! We shall serve you with all our heart starting today! I've also declared to leave the tribe for this moment. Serving only the Moon Goddess until the end.]
