Chapter 484: 484: Strange Old Man
Except for the always calm Qin Ancestor and the cubs who had no care for the situations of the adults, the others were surprised to see the Holy Witch lost it. She completely lost her temper as if her elegance as lady before was all a facade. Her real personality was rough from the beginning but after being charmed by Pang Ju, she was forced to act a calm and calculating one even though the skill itself wasn’t able to completely cover up.
"Damn retard! You like a calculated and elegant girl, right? Why did you use that dumb skill, forcing me to be one? Ha~ you hated my rough personality? No, shit! You damn flowery man with no skill. How dare you take away the resources my Shijie had prepared for me. I’m gonna end you, you human trash!"
Suzi was so annoyed that she kept on kicking the bastard that played him all along. However, Elder Susan was surprised. All this time, she thought that her Shimei was truly in love with this scum. Now, it seems that she had thought things wrongly.
Elder Susan grabbed her Shimei and asked with a serious and calm anger in her voice, "Are you saying you were brainwashed and under his skill all this time!? Why didn’t you tell me?!"
"S-Shijie, calm down. I wanted to tell you but... I can’t control my mouth whenever I think of doing so. It wasn’t that I wasn’t planning to tell you but can’t instead," said Suzi. Elder Susan got even angrier that she started scolding her junior sister.
Unlike her strong appearance from before, this time she looked like she was so scared that her Shijie would get angry and look like a child that had done something wrong and was caught but an adult. The Qin Ancestor who was used to the fake madness was watching this scene with glee.
The Holy Witch noticed it and gave her a glare as if a little animal pushed in the corner baring her teeth. Her expression was saying, ’What are you looking at?’. Elder Susan took this split second of dazed and pulled Suzi’s ear.
Elder Susan said, "Who allowed you to look away? Are you looking at your Shijie who is now old?"
"No way! That’s not it, Shijie. That bit..."
Unable to cuss at the Qin Ancestor after receiving a glare from her Shijie, Suzi cut off her words and changed it for something better.
"That... That woman was sniggering at me! I just glare at her a bit. This is the woman that the bastard is obsessed with. He wanted me to act like her!" The Holy Witch said.
The Qin Ancestor was about to speak when suddenly she felt a chill coming from above them and saw a woman in a veil with a huge moon beside her. Her silver eyes matched the shade of the moon making her look like a fairy born from moonlight itself.
"Are you people done? If you take that trash away. Seeing scum makes me want to crush it like a bug," said Yue Xuexia.
She came down to call the cubs to go to sleep. Descending with slow steps and every step she took creates small silver lotus flowers was simply too breathtaking to ignore. The Qin Ancestor, the Holy Witch, Elder Susan and Princess Qin couldn’t help but look at the Moon Goddess until her feet reached the ground.
The moment she landed, the cubs all jump on her asking for a hug and even asking for reward in exchange of capturing the scumbag, Pang Ju.
"Mommy, we caught that bug... Bug man!"
"Mom, we stole a bit from the warehouse. But thanks to it we caught the ant!"
Arr~ roar~
Yue Xuexia pats the heads of the cubs with a smile and her eyes look softer as she looks at them.
She said, "Alright. What do you want for rewards then?"
"A Huashen Realm Blood and Flesh!" Yue Huashui and Yue Huaxue said.
These words terrified the Huashen Realm Cultivators in the area, making them tremble when Yue Xuexi raised her head to look at them. Immediately, becoming defensive, they held on to their weapons.
Su Gin’er stepped forward and asked, "S-Senior Yue... please spare us."
"You are not the one they wanted to eat," said Yue Xuexia as a black fan appeared in her hand and raised it. With one swing down of her artifact weapon the whole area was destroyed and a huge crack on the ground was made.
It was a slow swing but neither the Qin Ancestor or the Holy Witch was able to dodge at all. This one slash was enough to show the difference in power between the three goddesses. Amid the broken earth, an old man lost his left arm and was smiling at the Moon Goddess. As if he didn’t mind that his arm was sliced apart by Yue Xuexia.
Cough. Cough.
"Young Missy, you are different from these two young goddesses. Your soul... Even though it’s incomplete, it’s from ancient times." The old man said. "Who are you missy?"
The Moon Goddess knew that this old man was a mere clone. Though it’s only at the late Huashen realm, just a stag lower than her realm, she can feel the danger he possessed that’s why she decided not to hesitate in killing the old man who is giving him a bad feeling.
Yue Xuexia activated her Moon Domain, her special physiques and all of the qi in her body as well as borrow one from the world itself. She floated above ground and the moon descended to be her support. Under the moonlight her black hair slowly turns white and her whole being is indifferent as she looks down on the old man. There are also some dark clouds surrounding her and lightning flashing waiting for her command to fall.
The Qin Ancestor was amazed and murmured, "Is this...what you call a domain?"
The old man on the other hand was stunned at first and recognized everything Yue Xuexia had used,
"The True Moon Domain, Lightning God’s Physique, Yin Moon Physique, the bloodline of Ancient Elves as well as the Crescent Moon Blade. Ah~ I think I know who you are now. I’ve messed with someone who shouldn’t be touched."
"However, there are more~ can’t you control your full power? Because your soul is incomplete?"
Yue Xuexia’s eyes turn a bit colder at these words. She had always hated people saying that her soul is incomplete. It wasn’t that her soul is incomplete but she wasn’t willing to merge it. Because merging with her past means she will also have to find the future her.
She said, "So noisy. This Empress wants you to disappear from her sight!"
The moon behind Yue Xuexia had disappeared and merged with her sword. She murmurs,
"Final Moon Phase, Falling Moon!"
A huge crescent moon appeared and fell directly on the creepy old man. Even though he blocked the attack of Yue Xuexia he lost most of her physical body.
The old man said, "I will wait for your return to the Immortal World, Esteemed Moon Empress Goddess!"
Hahaha~
Yue Xuexia ignores the fading soul of the old man. For some reason she knew who this old thing is and he is most likely connected to her previous life as the Moon Empress.
"I need to ask Hua about this old man," the Moon Goddess mumbles as he cancels her Moon Domain and sings the song of nature to restore the destroyed forest.
An ethereal voice resounds in the whole area as nature glows in green light. Under this singing, the land restores itself and patches up the broken ground as well as resurrecting the dead trees and greed giving birth to the sight of life growing after the destruction.
Everyone was amazed by the scene and even all the Huashen realm cultivators in the area had gained some enlightenment about this so-called God’s Domain. Not all gods are able to control a domain. Only a god who possessed a domain is a true god. Those who couldn’t can only be considered as a Demigod. The more powerful the domain is, the more a god can possess authority and less restriction from the Dao itself.
Yue Xuexia had once again descended and saw the only two Huashen realm cultivators had fallen in a state of meditation.
"Mom, you’ve destroyed his body. We cannot eat him anymore."
"Mommy, that old man was scary."
"It’s okay. Once we find another Huashen Realm cultivator who becomes an enemy, I send it to you to devour. For now, snack on these pills." Yue Xuexia said.
She glanced at the two goddesses who were about to reach enlightenment about domains. Though it would take time, Yue Xuexia asked not to destroy their gains.
She suddenly looked at Elder Susan and asked, "If you keep pushing back your ascension to Godhood, the more your soul weakens and the faster your physical body will age. You should break through to the next realm. Before the Heavenly Laws sees your actions as act deviance."
Elder Susan smiled and lowered her head before Yue Xuexia and said, "Thank you for Senior’s concerns. However, this humble one made a vow not to leave the world unless I found my master’s legacy."
"...Is this Legacy you spoke of something that can be found in this place? The Primordial Poison Witch?" Yue Xuexia asked as she recalled the treasure land they had found within the forest area in this location.
Elder Susan looked up in shock and asked, "Does the senior know where Master’s Legacy is found?"
Yue Xuexia nodded her head and said, "You can ask the cubs to bring you there tomorrow. It would be better if you and your junior sister go there together."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior!!" Elder Susan said.
