Chapter 335: 335: Her After the war, at the center of the rainforest, they had reached the end of the battle. Everyone had gathered at the nearest village, which is the closest to where they are. The group, which was made up of a few hundred, was only able to return. Some had perished in the battle and died on that battlefield. Deaths cannot be avoided in war, especially when their opponent is a lot more powerful than they are. The one who had done most of the job had fallen into a deep sleep and was allowed to rest in the most comfortable location in the Elven Village. Though there is quite a lot of death count, just the fact that they killed the two dangerous variables in the rainforest is more than enough for the races that live in this place to become worry-free. They no longer have to avoid venturing at the center of the forest as the Ancient Tree God is no longer there. There will also be no miasma in the forest as the demonic being was killed. Now everyone was praying in front of the treehouse, waiting for the Moon Goddess to wake up. It's already been a night, but Yue Xuexia still hasn't woken up, and everyone thought that this is strange. Tan Bingyu asked, "The mistress had no fatal injuries on her, but how come she isn't waking at all? Moreover, why does it look like she is having a nightmare?" "This might be because of the God Avatar she had used before. That is a state only those at Mastery Realm can use, and she is only at the God Transformation Stage when she uses it. It would normally be impossible to use it in her current realm," said the Elf King, Andromeda. Taiyang said, "Main body, you said that Xue'er was able to use it because she borrowed it through her connection with her past life. Does it mean she might have been locked in the past; that's why she couldn't wake up?" "If that's true, then we can only wait for her to wake up on her own. I had no confidence I could wake her up even if I entered her soul domain. I might get killed inside instead," said Shen Jueyang as he could still remember the words Yue Xuexia had said before losing consciousness. Upon hearing the Immortal Sun Emperor's words, Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and even the Elf King stared at him without saying a word. Their eyes were saying, 'At least you know what will happen to you.' Seeing them like this made Shen Jueyang annoyed. Shen Jueyang said, "I'm going to turn, you bastards, to ashes." Tan Bingyu urgently averted her eyes and faked a cough while the other two pointed at him and started laughing. Shen Jueyang was so annoyed that he chased after the two fools that teased him. Seeing the men come out of the room, she took a towel to wipe the sweat off her mistress and changed her clothes, which are now covered in sweat. During the process of wiping out her mistress' sweat, she noticed the moon crest imprint on her mistress' spine to be glowing red. She was terrified and immediately laid Yue Xuexia at her side and covered her with a blanket. She instantly ran towards the window and said, "Please come here! Something is wrong with the mistress!" The three men urgently came back to the room and saw that Yue Xuexia was naked in her upper body with a blanket barely covering her chest, and her back was exposed. Taiyang immediately turned around while the Elf King's face turned red. Shen Jueyang threw the two men out in anger, then checked on Yue Xuexia. Shen Jueyang asked, "What is wrong with Xue'er?" "Her back... the imprint on her back turned red. This is weird. It's supposed to be silver," said Tan Bingyu. When the moon imprint was mentioned by Tan Bingyu, Shen Jueyang realized that this child lied to him before. She must have longed to see this imprint on her mistress's body and didn't tell him when he asked before. However, he wasn't angry, as this means that this child's loyalty was to her master alone. However, when she saw the red moon insignia on Yue Xuexia's back, his face turned completely serious. Shen Jueyang said, "Seat her up. You cover her from the front. I will pass some of my qi to her. This is Qi Deviation. To avoid her becoming a demon, I must give her as much qi as she needs." "My qi won't be enough," asked Tan Bingyu. Shen Jueyang lifted Yue Xuexia and placed his hands on her back. "Even though you both have Yin Qi, the moon physique has the ability to devour. Unless you want to be sucked dry, leave it to me." The moment Shen Jueyang passed his qi in Yue Xuexia's body, the latter slowly woke up. She can feel an unbearable heat coursing her whole body, making her uncomfortable yet relaxed at the same time. Her eyes turned red at this moment, and a fierce aura came from her as well. However, when they expected her to go insane at her state, she remained calm instead. She grabbed her hands together, trying to bear her madness. Tan Bingyu exclaims, "Mistress, you're awake." "Sister Bingyu, get out. Prepare me a bath and a change of clothes," said Yue Xuexia. Tan Bingyu hesitated and said, "But Mistress..." "I will be fine. Go out first. I need to focus," said Yue Xuexia as she smiled at Tan Bingyu. Tan Bingyu's thoughts: 'Even though her eyes had turned red, this is still the same mistress that I know.' "Alright. I will make the preparations," said Tan Bingyu as she went out of the room like she was told to. After Tan Bingyu left the two alone inside the room, Shen Jueyang immediately realized that there was something wrong with Yue Xuexia in front of him. Before he could react, he was kicked away from the bed with a large force, making him fly a distance and bruise his arms. When he looked up, he saw Yue Xuexia completely dressed in a pure white ancient robe with a moon and snow lotus motif. This is the usual clothing of his former Moon Empress. Shen Jueyang was almost unable to believe what he was facing. "Are you... Yue Xuehua?" 'Yue Xuexia' raised her chin slightly and looked arrogantly at the man before her. She crossed her legs and arms in front of her chest. Her crimson eyes were filled with a coldness that could only be seen when Yue Xuexia was angry. "I thought you wouldn't recognize me, Immortal Emperor Shen," said the 'Yue Xuexia' before Shen Jueyang. Shen Jueyang asked, "How... can you be here?" "What kind of question is that? This is my incarnation. How can I not be here?" said the moon goddess. "Oh~ are you worried about her (Yue Xuexia)?" Shen Jueyang didn't deny, yet at the same time he remained calm. He knew that once he showed his weakness, people would be able to exploit it, and he would be the one to suffer from it. He stared at the woman before him with cold eyes. The 'Yue Xuexia' in front of him light clenched her fingers while keeping her cold facade and commented, "You've never changed, Jueyang." "I don't know what you are talking about," Shen Jueyang responded. Hmp! The Moon Goddess approached the open window, where it was unknown when the moon had come closer and gave away energy, which turned into silver lotuses and entered Yue Xuexia's body. Shen Jueyang observed until her crimson eye faded and the moon insignia exposed by her backless robe returned to silver as well. "Jueyang, we will meet again," said the 'Yue Xuexia' before Shen Jueyang and finally closed her eyes as if something had left her. Before Yue Xuexia fell on the floor, Shen Jueyang had caught her in his embrace. Gently swiping the stray hair strand on her face, the latter waited for the lady to wake up. As expected, the farmer's eyelids tremble and finally reveal the silver irises hidden within. Yue Xuexia spoke, "Jueyang, what happened to me?" Shen Jueyang noticed that the real Yue Xuexia had truly woken up and supported her to stand up. He looked at her confused expression and held her head as if forgetting something. He said, "It's nothing. You've suffered from Qi Deviation before. Are you feeling alright now?" "Hm. I'm a bit hungry and tired. Let me sit for a while," said Yue Xuexia. Shen Jueyang pulled over a chair with his qi and placed it near the window, allowing Yue Xuexia to rest under the moonlight, which is the best for her. Of course, he didn't explain anything about Yue Xuehua taking over Yue Xuexia's body. "Rest here for a bit. Tan Bingyu will come over and help you bathe. I will grab you some food downstairs," said Shen Jueyang, preparing to leave. Yue Xuexia said, "Alright. Thank you." She watches Shen Jueyang take his leave as she stares at her reflection on the glass window just beside her. Unlike her silver irises, her reflection possessed crimson eyes like the 'her' from before. "Xiao Hua, you like to tease him so much," said Yue Xuexia. Her reflection responded, {Why do you feel bad for him?} "No. I don't understand why both of you are acting annoying. That's all," said Yue Xuexia. {Darling, of course you wouldn't understand. Your heart is not under your control but in the heavens. Only by taking it back would you understand my actions. I hate him as much as I love him.} Yue Xuexia said, "Alright. You are right. Go to sleep. You've helped me a lot today. Thank you, Xiao Hua." {...Xiaxia, sooner or later you will have to make a choice. You know that, don't you?} "Then I will make my choice when that day comes," said Yue Xuexia. {Sigh~ alright. Don't use your qi for a whole month. Rest well~} Only then did Yue Xuexia's reflection turn normal, and she focused on absorbing the moonlight falling onto her. When Tan Bingyu came over to call for her, she headed to the bathroom and waited for the dinner Shen Jueyang would be bringing in her room. The next morning will be the day they will make the final preparation to leave the forest. It's time to return to the modern city.
