Chapter 1051: Blood Ores

The Hong brothers didn’t want to be crippled and accepted the suggestion of their mistress to absorb the blood curse in them. Yue Xuexia had also placed the blood lotus chains on Hong Yi and Hong San. Only when their blood curse had been completely sealed that they were finally able to talk.

"Mistress, the Blood Demon Race has eight blood demon lords and four blood demon kings!" said Hong San. "Blood Demon Lords changed all the time and their realm was within Godking to false emperor realms. There are no permanent members for the lord position."

"They can kill each other?" Shen Jueyang asked.

This is not surprising, but normally for those at the position of the leader, in some places they would avoid direct confrontation as it would affect the leadership with a group. How come in the Blood Demon race they can even kill those in leader positions as if they’re replaceable and the clan never care about them.

Hong Yi said, "In the Blood Sea Territory, there are no permanent lords as it was replaced almost everyday."

"They fought for the Blood Ores distributed to the Blood Demon Lords. This is the most important thing for the Blood Demon to increase their blood essence and this can only be given by the Blood Demon Kings. They do not care who received it, only the strongest gets it and murder was the only way to win," said Hong Er.

The Moon Goddess said, "So they allowed killing within their race?"

"Xue’er, it’s the demon’s nature to kill for power. The Blood Demon Race is more direct for such a thing," said the Great Emperor of the Sun.

Yue Xuexia thought for a moment and said, "There is no real evil and no real righteousness. The fine line between them can easily be broken. The origin of Evil and Righteousness is the same, all of it depends on the choice of who wields this power. Whether to use this evil power or righteous power for good or bad, it depends on the person."

These words of the Moon Goddess startled the Hong Brothers, and even Shen Jueyang himself. This kind of profound understanding of the world was something they had never expected to hear from a young woman like the Moon Goddess. This is something even the Great Emperor of the Sun hadn’t understood for himself. His understanding of evil is superior compared to what Yue Xuexia has. Ever since he was young his life was never smooth sailing.

He is an orphan bullied by his own clan. At such a young age he had experienced poverty, betrayal and all kinds of things that one shouldn’t have experienced at such a young age, Shen Jueyang had seen it all. It was because of this that his acceptance of good and bad were similar to Yue Xuexia. He doesn’t believe all those on the righteous side are all good and that all those on the evil side are all bad. However, he can see through more about someone’s evil deeds.

The Great Emperor of the Sun said, "Okay, let’s do it as you wish. I will listen to you."

"However, this Blood Ore... It must have something to do with the blood element for it to be useful for the Blood Demons. Is it useful for you as well?" The Moon Goddess asked the Hong Brothers.

The Hong Brothers were stunned when they were asked about the blood ores. These blood ores were something exclusive for the Blood Demon race. After all, most Blood Ore Mine only exist in the Blood Sea, seabed area. That’s why even Evil cultivators that practice blood elemental techniques trade Blood Ores with the Blood Demons. It’s just that the trading items exchanged between the Blood Demon and Evil Cultivators were living humans. Human trafficking is normal among these people.

Hong Yi said, "The Blood Ores are indeed useful for us but... Such resources are not available outside the Blood Demon Territory."

Before the eyes of everyone in the hall, Yue Xuexia ripped the space and grabbed something from the cracked space and then a fist sized crimson ore fell from the crack to the table in front of them. The most surprised ones were the Hong Brothers. They immediately recognize the scarlet ore that appeared in front of them.

"High-grade Blood Ores!?"

"Mistress! Where did you get this!?" Hong Er asked.

The Moon Goddess tilts her head thinking of something as she doesn’t know how to give an answer. After all, this is something the system had given to her as a sign-in reward. The Great Emperor of the Sun noticed her thoughts as well and helped her think of an excuse.

Shen Jueyang said, "Xue’er, did this come from that unknown mine you got together with the legacy you found before?"

Yue Xuexia looked at Shen Jueyang and exchanged stares with him. She instantly understood that he is once again looking out for her.

"Yes, it was that unknown mine I’ve inherited. The seal had recently opened when I checked on it, something like this had opened. So it was indeed the blood ore you are talking about," said Yue Xuexia.

She once again waves her hand and a small pile of high-grade Blood Ores starts to gather on the table but when they see that the mistress has no intention of stopping they start to panic.

"Mistress, please stop! We don’t need this many!"

"Enough. That is enough!"

"So many high-grade Blood Ores (Stones)!"

The Moon Goddess halted her hands from pulling more blood ores from her mine and looked at the three brothers and then the small pile of blood ores in front of them.

She asked, "This much is enough? Are you sure?"

"It’s enough!" The three brothers nod their heads collectively as they keep on staring at the blood ores on the table.

The Immortal Sun Great Emperor said, "High-grade ores take time to be used up. This small pile is enough for them to last for a whole year. Don’t give them anymore, Xue’er."

The Moon Goddess looked at the small pile of blood ores on the table and felt that it wasn’t even enough.

With a slight frown said, "Is that enough? I have more."

"Enough!"

"Alright then..." Yue Xuexia said.

Shen Jueyang asked, "Was there something else you need to say? If not, it’s time for Xue’er to rest."

Hearing these words, the three brothers knew that they were being asked to leave by the Great Emperor and took the hint and stood up preparing to leave.

"Please excuse us, Mistress, Master! We shall be taking out leave now," said the Hong brothers.

The Great Emperor of the Sun carried Yue Xuexia in his arms and said, "We will not see you out. You can go ahead. If you have some time, investigate the Blood Sea and it changes for us. There is no need to put yourself in danger, do it secretly. If you are about to get caught, use Teleportation Talisman to escape as soon as possible."

The three brothers saluted as they watched the Immortal Sun Great Emperor take the Moon Goddess and head to the upper floors to rest. Yue Xuexia is still healing and needs to sleep more than usual. Shen Jueyang knew about this and decided to let her naps after meals to ensure that her soul would be able to rest properly.

After seeing their masters take their leave, the three of them stare at the pile of blood ores on the table with disbelief in their eyes. They almost couldn’t move their gaze from it and this shows how attractive Blood Ores are to the Blood Demons, even halflings like them couldn’t help but have desire for it.

"Dage, Erge, am I not dreaming? There is a pile of high-grade Blood Ores in front of me. The kind of blood ores that is said to be only used by the pureblood Blood Demon Kings!" Hong San said.

Hong Er hit the back of his third brother’s head and let him feel what reality is. When the pain spread from the hit that he had received, Hong San covered his head instinctively from the pain.

He then asks, "How was it? Does it feel real?"

"Ow~ Erge! That hurts!" Hong San complained.

Hong Yi looked at his two younger brothers helplessly and said, "Take it away. We need to leave now."

They took the blood ores on the table before taking their leave. With these many resources, they should be able to completely absorb the blood curse that was sealed by their mistress in their bodies and completely remove the curse of bloodthirst whenever they get too emotional. As long as this was resolved, they would not have much problem as a halfling and when the summoning of the pureblood Blood Demons began it would no longer have anything to do with them. This had always been their wish and now they should be able to fulfill it in the future.

Somewhere at a place that looks like the netherworld

A world covered in the mist of poison and ghostly aura, a wind breeze carrying the eerie sounds of wailing ghosts and a land that turned black unknown whether it was due to poison tainting the earth under one’s feet. A sudden whirlpool of reddish black aura appeared in one spot of this area and Fairy Queen Titania Ambrosia had reappeared while covered in bruises and blood. With this land itself almost devoid of sunlight Blood Moon Curse on the Fairy Queen’s body had activated itself making her bleed in her orifices almost nonstop.

THUD!

Whatever that had brought her away had thrown her on the poisoned covered ground like a piece of trash. She fell unconscious on the group and another figure appeared beside the fairy queen.

"What a useless thing!" The man muttered as he grabbed one of the fairy queen’s hands and dragged her away like a sack of potatoes.
