Chapter 1050: Half-Demon, Half-Human

After making sure that Yue Xuexia’s situation is safe, the rest of her family members say their goodbyes to her. They gave her a hug and promised to send soul nourishing treasures and herbs for her to use and advised her not to do anything bad for her current state and not to overdo it.

The Immortal Thunder Emperor said, "Xue’er, if there is something you want to do, or something you wanted to have just tell this brat?" he said while pointing at the Great Emperor of the Sun, Shen Jueyang beside the Moon Goddess.

He added, "He is extremely useful. Just tell him anything or whatever, he will do it for you! If not, tell your uncle. Even if I can’t beat him up, calling people to beat him up I can still do that. Your father would definitely like doing it. He is a pig that stole you, his precious cabbage."

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh at the words of Lei Yuye. This Immortal Thunder Emperor is so fearless that he was able to say such words to Great Emperor cultivators like Shen Jueyang. Well as a family member of his beloved woman, it was only right that he is more forgiving and welcoming towards her family and treated them as his own family as well.

Shen Jueyang said, "Xue’er, listen to uncle. If there is something you need just tell me. I will do my best to support you. Even if it’s just getting water you can tell me."

The Moon Goddess looks at her own silly uncle and man. She was looking at them like a pair of fools and retorted.

She said, "I am not a cripple. Why exaggerate to such an extent? Uncle, don’t do this with the people at home. They would worry and definitely come over here. I am truly fine. So Hua, don’t make that face. This is not your fault. The next time we see that bitch Fairy Queen, let’s just kill her off the spot. We will be free of worry that way."

"Okay. Okay," said Yue Xuehua as she hugged the Moon Goddess.

She was truly thankful that Yue Xuexia was safe. If something bad had truly happened to her, she might go insane and hunt that vicious woman. How dare he harm her other self. Moreover, she was already not doing well with the soul department now her injuries seem to have worsened. She should help and ask the family to pressure the Ice Phoenix Tribe to give away their blood essence. This is something needed to open the entrance to that treasure land where something extremely useful for healing Yue Xuexia’s soul exists.

Crown Prince Yue Leiya also approached the Moon Goddess and said, "Just like before, if you need help you can always ask Dage okay?"

"Me too. Me too!" said the Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya. "Even if you are just bored you can call Erge anytime!"

The Moon Goddess smiles at them which is completely different when she had treated them as strangers during their first meeting. At that time, she only knew them as Yue Xuehua’s siblings but when she learned that her family was the clone of the Ancient Moon Clan’s family member, she realized that they were all just one family, hers and Yue Xuehua’s.

She said, "Alright, if I need help again I will call Dage and Erge."

After everyone had finished their goodbyes, Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang had sent them off at the entrance.

Princess Meiyu held her niece’s hands and said, "Zhi’er misses her eldest aunt. Next time you have time, come visit us in the Core Haven."

"Once my soul stabilizes I will go and find everyone," said Yue Xuexia.

Everyone from the Ancient Moon Clan and the Regal Lei Clan smiled when they heard that. When Yue Xuexia comes to the Core Haven that’s the first time she would be able to officially come home. That’s what the Ancient Moon Clan and Regal Lei Clan had been waiting for all this time.

"Okay, we will wait for you to come home!"

It was after they had taken their leave that the peace had returned to the core region. When they had come back to their own houses, they would start to be busy for different reasons. That’s why they are all reluctant to return to their own homes.

After everyone else was gone, the three Hong Brothers requested to meet the Holy Saintess and Holy Saint. The Moon Goddess called them over to the receiving hall and welcomed them. At the hall, the puppet maid served everyone some tea. The Moon Goddess and the Great Emperor of the Sun sat together with almost no space between them. Shen Jueyang’s arm was all around Yue Xuexia’s back with the latter leaning on him like a salted fish.

The Hong brothers knew what had happened yesterday, even the injuries the Moon Goddess had suffered, they knew about it as well. Even though not everyone knows about the Moon Goddess and the Holy Saintess of the Black Cloud Academy, they were informed after they were told to leave the Blood Sea because of the danger they might suffer from. Who would have thought that something like that would have happened, for their Mistress to be ambushed by someone? There is also the sudden appearance of a pureblood Blood Demon and its one of the four kings. But what truly terrified them is what happened after, especially the part where the Blood Demon King showed fear and was dragged away before the group massacre had happened. This is the scene no one from the side of the Moon goddess had seen as they all left in a hurry with a teleportation talisman.

"We greet the Mistress and Lord Shen!" The Hong Brothers said.

Shen Jueyang said, "Call me the same way as Xue’er."

The three brothers were stunned then looked at their Mistress who nodded as if in agreement to what the Great Emperor of the Sun had said.

They collectively greeted, "Master!"

"Um. Can you now tell us why you are here?" Shen Jueyang asked.

As this question was asked, the three brothers’ expressions suddenly turned serious and told them what was making them uncomfortable and everything they knew.

Hong Yi said, "We would like to tell you everything we know about the Blood Sea and the hierarchy within it. It’s just that..."

"The blood restriction placed on all Blood Demons, pureblood or halflings, was something you are born with," The Moon Goddess said. "Are you afraid of triggering it?"

"Yes. If the Mistress had a way to temporarily hide this restraint we will be able to tell you everything we know including the powers of the Demon Lords and Demon Ki---HMMPPP!" Hong Er wasn’t exactly telling anyone about the true secrets of the Blood Sea but just having enough thoughts about it, it triggers the bloodlined restrain in their body making them suffer from the pain of boiling blood.

This is why he reacted like something was restraining his throat and his whole body not only started trembling. The skin is also slowly turning red. The moment the others saw this, they reacted differently. Hong Yi and Hong San showed a panicked expression as they tried to help their second brother to restrain the curse on them.

The Great Emperor of the Sun said, "Is this the Bloodline Restrain?"

"Yes, but it’s nothing but a Blood Cultivation Technique," said the Moon Goddess as she helped stabilize the state of Hong Er.

Controlling the Blood Curse on him and even completely suppressing it. She can actually be removed but removing this blood curse is the same as erasing their origins. For halflings blood demons, like the three hong brothers, this blood curse is their source of power as Blood demons. Once this is removed their soul would be considered incomplete and they would become half alive and half dead. Maybe someone that cannot be considered as a living person. This is the real reason why the Moon Goddess didn’t erase the restraints on the souls of the three brothers.

A red lotus flower entered the forehead of Hong Er and a dark red vines spread from it restraining the power of blood curse in his body. Only then did he finally stop the suffering from his blood boiling within his body causing him to finally feel relief.

"Thank you for saving this servant, Mistress!" said Hong Yi.

The Moon Goddess said, "It’s a simple thing. As for the blood curse in you, it cannot be removed. I can remove it but it would cause half of your life as this is your soul origin as a halfling blood demon. It can only be sealed for now, then you slowly absorb it until it’s completely under your control."

"Wouldn’t removing the bloodline of blood demons turn us humans instead?" Hong San asked.

Yue Xuexia shook her head and said, "No. You are born with half-demon blood and half-human blood. Your origins are clear halves as well. If one is removed then you can indeed become either a human or a demon. But with half missing origin, you will become forever crippled. Unable to cultivate and become a mortal."

The Hong Brothers didn’t expect such consequences to happen. They had always hated their blood demon bloodline and if they could, they would love to become just human. But they didn’t want to become a mortal much less a cripple. In the cultivation world, those kinds of beings die the fastest.
