Chapter 843: Ye Yue?

Translator: Mr Voltaire

The Mystic Moon planet was only known by the humans as the virtual game ‘Mystic Moon’. Even though the Mad Scientist was gone, with Sha Sha’s help, the Li family financial group was able to create ‘gaming equipment’ like what the Mad Scientist had created, allowing more and more people to enter the Mystic Moon world. However, from the beginning to the end, no one realised or even imagined that the Mystic Moon world was actually a real world. As people became more dependent on the Mystic Moon world, Ling Tian City’s status and position became higher and higher, becoming a city of legends. Now, with Ling Tian City’s existence, no one dared to anger China anymore. The punishment that the 12 allied countries had suffered 3 years ago made everyone tremble in fear.

These years, Ling Chen barely appeared in public… even though he did not appear much, that did not mean he wasn’t in the Mystic Moon world as much. However, the only difference was that his mind had entered through the gaming equipment before, but now, he used the Lachesis’ power to send his actual person there.

Right now, he was on the Mystic Moon planet… specifically speaking, the Moon God Palace in the Moon God Island at the centre of the Mystic Moon Ocean.

If the Bamboo Sea Wonderland was a wonderland on earth, then the Moon God Palace was definitely a wonderland among wonderlands. No matter who came here, they would feel intoxicated and would not want to leave. This place became Ling Chen and Shui Ruo’s residence, and every time they came here, they indulged themselves in pleasure.

However, today, Ling Chen came here by himself.

In the First Shrine within the clouds, Ling Chen was lazily sitting on the central Moon God Chair. Moon Goddess Blue Heart was smiling as she massaged his shoulders, while Moon Goddesses White Snow and Purple Dress were sitting on his right and left, their clothes in disarray and their faces red. Evidently, they just had a ‘great battle’. There were also Moon God Representatives walking in and out, delivering all sorts of delicacies. They had already become used to the activities of the 3 Moon Goddesses and Ling Chen.

“… The residual effects from the demon beast disaster 3 years ago have all been settled. Because of this, the Forgotten Continent’s residents and players have become much closer, which is an unexpected surprise. From how things look, the residents and players of the Forgotten Continent are the closest in the world, and the other continents cannot compare,” Moon Goddess White Snow said softly.

“We’ve announced to the Forgotten Continent that we’ve found the source of the demon disaster and completely destroyed it so that something similar will never happen again. All fear and anxiety regarding that incident has disappeared,” Moon Goddess Purple Dress said expressionlessly.

“That’s good.” Ling Chen closed his eyes, feeling so comfortable that he didn’t bother opening them. Even though he very rarely visited the Forgotten Continent now, he still cared about it deeply.

He had returned to the Mystic Moon planet today to bring Leng’Er to see the Underworld King. After all, it had been 3 months since he had brought Leng’Er back, and if they didn’t visit soon, the Underworld King might go on a rampage.

He also took this opportunity to come to the Moon God Palace… and had ended up there for the entire morning… this was simply a paradise that one could not leave from!

At this moment, the Starry Moon God Representative lightly flew in, saying as she respectfully bowed to Ling Chen, “Lady Moon Goddesses, a special visitor has arrived. He calls himself Night Emperor Ye Wu Ya, and he requests to meet the 3 Moon Goddesses.”

“Hm? Ye Wu Ya?” This name caused the 3 Moon Goddesses to simultaneously frown and look at each other. At this moment, Ling Chen opened his eyes. “Night Emperor Ye Wu Ya?”

“That’s right!” Starry Moon God Representative nodded. “He’s outside the barrier, and he shows no hostility and only brought a single person.”

White Snow lightly nodded. “Alright.”

“Ye Wu Ya has disappeared for so many years, and I thought that he had been dead this entire time. Now that he’s suddenly appeared again and brought someone, just what does he want?” Purple Dress said coldly. Back then, Ye Wu Ya completely hated the Moon God Clan and did everything he could to destroy it. However, after fighting many times, the Night Demon Clan was gradually weakened before he disappeared, and they never heard of him again.

“Let’s go meet him. After all, he’s our clansman. It has been thousands of years since those things happened; we’ve more or less forgotten about it, so he most likely has as well,” White Snow said.

“… I’ll go with you. I just so happen to have some things to say to him,” Ling Chen said as he suddenly got up.

“Eh? You know Ye Wu Ya?” Blue Heart asked in surprise.

“Mm, I coincidentally met him in Novice Village 49554,” Ling Chen replied. He wanted to meet Ye Wu Ya because he felt guilty towards him… because 3 years ago, he had told Ye Wu Ya that his daughter, Ye Yue, was still alive within the Lunar Scourge. He had also said that his daughter, Ye Yue, would be able to leave the Lunar Scourge and be reunited with him 3 years later.

However, soon, he realised that what he told him was just another one of Qi Yue’s lies. Ye Yue was no longer in the Lunar Scourge – she had been killed by Qi Yue and replaced, and she could no longer appear.

Now, 3 years had passed… and Ye Wu Ya had waited for 3 years for nothing. Even though the truth was incredibly cruel, Ling Chen had to take responsibility and tell him.

After leaving the Moon God Palace’s barrier, Ling Chen immediately saw Ye Wu Ya. He had thought that Ye Wu Ya would be filled with bitterness and sorrow after waiting for 3 years with no result. What was unexpected was that the Ye Wu Ya in front of him was in high spirits and had a ruddy appearance, looking as if he had won the lottery.

Seeing the 3 Moon Goddesses appear, the Night Emperor hurriedly came forwards. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Ling Chen. He changed directions with a ‘whoosh’, forgetting about the 3 Moon Goddesses completely and rushed over to Ling Chen. He grabbed Ling Chen’s hands, his gaze burning as he said emotionally, “Little brother Ling Tian, why are you here… this is great, this is great, I was just worrying about how to find you!”

Ling Chen had been expecting Ye Wu Ya to roar at him in anger and demand an explanation. However, this was completely different to what he had imagined! Ling Chen felt quite stunned, and he hesitantly asked, “Senior Ye, this is…”

“Your grace towards us is something that I’ll never be able to repay even if I became your servant. If it wasn’t for you finding the Lunar Scourge and helping my daughter re-form her body, I might never have been able to see her again.” Ye Wu Ya’s eyes became filled with tears. He turned and waved. “Yue’Er, hurry and thank our benefactor.”

Ling Chen had only seen Ye Wu Ya, and only now did he see that the person who had come with him was a beautiful and sweet young woman. She elegantly walked over and lowered her head with an embarrassed expression on her face while looking at Ling Chen. “Ye Yue thanks big brother Ling Tian for his grace.”

In terms of time, Ye Yue was more than 10,000 years older than Ling Chen. However, she had only been 17 years old when she had been devoured by the Lunar Scourge, and she did not have a body for 10,000 years. As such, neither her mind nor her body grew. After coming out, she was still that same 17-year-old girl, so calling Ling Chen ‘big brother’ was something that he could accept.

Ling Chen’s mind fell into chaos. He quickly said to Ye Wu Ya, “Senior Ye, you don’t need to thank me. I’m sure you came to speak to the 3 Moon Goddesses about important matters, so you should all talk… there are some things that I want to talk to little sister Ye Yue about.”

“Oh! Alright!” Of course, Ye Wu Ya would not object to anything Ling Chen said. He turned his gaze to the 3 Moon Goddesses… while Ling Chen came over to Ye Yue and held her hand, pulling her away as he asked in a soft voice, “Err… you… how did you come out from the Lunar Scourge?”

Ling Chen did not doubt that Ye Yue was the real deal. Who was Ye Wu Ya? He was the Night Emperor, one of the peak existences in the Mystic Moon world. How could he not recognise his own daughter?

After Ling Chen took her hand, Ye Yue’s face became bright red. Hearing Ling Chen’s question, she looked up in surprise. “Why did big brother Ling Tian ask such a weird question… eh? Didn’t big sister Qi Yue tell you? After big brother Ling Tian retrieved the Star God Orb, big sister Qi Yue separated my soul from the Lunar Scourge and reshaped a body for me… that’s right! Big sister Qi Yue never told you that the Sun God Orb was on her; she said that she wanted to give you a surprise.”

“……” The Sun God Orb had always been in Qi Yue’s hands, meaning that when he retrieved the Star God Orb, he could have completed the Lunar Scourge. Qi Yue had said she could leave the Lunar Scourge after the Lunar Scourge’s power was complete. However…

“You weren’t killed and replaced by Qi Yue?” Ling Chen frowned as he asked.

“Eh? Killed and replaced?” Ye Yue looked even more confused. “How could I? Big sister Qi Yue is the gentlest person in the world. At that time, she suddenly appeared in my world, and after reading my memories, she continuously comforted me and stayed with me, promising me that I would one day leave the Lunar Scourge and regain my freedom… during that time, I was with big sister Qi Yue, and I silently looked at and discussed big brother Ling Tian. Big brother Ling Tian, you’re so amazing. I’ve always… admired you so much…” After saying that last sentence, Ye Yue shyly looked down, her face blushing as she tightly gripped the corners of her clothes, not daring to look up.

Ling Chen felt completely speechless.

What was going on… this was completely different to what Qi Yue had said! Back then, she had coldly laughed, emotionlessly saying that she had devoured Ye Yue’s existence after entering the Lunar Scourge, obtaining her memories and replacing her.

However, what he had seen and heard today was that Qi Yue had helped Ye Yue escape from the Lunar Scourge, and she had even made a new body for her. Ling Chen was not the same Ling Chen as 3 years ago, and he understood what it meant to form a new body… he was unable to do such a thing because his power was focused on destruction but Sha Sha could. Even Sha Sha, who had True God level power, had to expend a lot of time and energy, and this would be even more so for Qi Yue.

So why had the cruel, merciless Qi Yue chosen to help Ye Yue obtain her freedom and even pay a great price to create her a body… and why had he told him something completely different, making herself seem so evil?
