Chapter 982: Family Reunion

Back to reality...

At the Yueguang Peak where the Moon Empress, Yue Xuexia resides. She had welcomed the Yue family inside her place together with the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang. There is also a short introduction between the Yue Xuexia’s master, Wu Yao, to the Yue clan before the principal had excused himself leaving the family to reunite themselves. A feast had welcomed the Yue family inside the mansion’s receiving hall with the puppet maid sending it dishes one at a time every time a meal was finished by the family. After such a good meal they had gathered in the living room with tea to help them digest.

Mama Yue or the Everlasting Moon Empress, Yue Lili and the Twin Moon Princess, Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia were clinging to the Moon Goddess even while seated. It can be seen that the two of them truly miss their elder sister so much. On the other side, the six men which are composed of the Everlasting Moon Emperor, the Immortal Sun Emperor, the Twin Moon Princes, the Crown Princess and the youngest prince are all seated together. With any hints of disguise on Yue Xuexia’s face, her long black hair had turned to its original silvery shade, paired with exquisite features and a pair of alluring phoenix-shaped eyes and silver irises. Her appearance alone screams that she possessed the purest bloodline of the Ancient Moon Clan.

The color of silver which is akin to the shade of the moonlight was the trademark of the Ancient moon clan. The lighter shade it was the purer the bloodline of the Ancient Moon God is in their veins. Unfortunately, only Yue Zhiyan and Yue Xuexia possessed both the silver hair and silver eyes. As for the rest of the family, they either have silvery hair, a shade or a pair of silver irises. They didn’t have both features like Yue Xuexia has. Well, their exquisite features had made the entire family of the Yue Family, full of handsome and beautiful faces. This is a family with a high quality appearance.

"Dajie~, I thought we would never see each other again~" said Yue Ruxia while hugging her sister crying.

Yue Jixia still had this silent demeanor as before but one can see how much she clings on her elder sister’s arms as if her life depends on it. She would silently wipe her tears as well. Even without saying too many words everyone can feel that these two moon princesses were attached to Yue Xuexia much more than others realized.

Yue Jixia said, "It’s good to be back. As long as we can see each other anytime. Everything is okay."

"Xue’er, mama welcomes you back. As long as you are home," said Mama Yue while holding her daughter’s hands.

There is also Papa Yue and the two princes who wanted to join but didn’t know how to get along with each other. One is a dad who hasn’t seen his daughter and didn’t know who to add himself among the pile of ladies around his eldest daughter. Second is a twin elder brother who was now just meeting each other for the first time officially. There is also the dao companion of the eldest princess, the crown princess, Lei Ruiye who was smiling gently at the family reunion and finally sleeping, Yue Zhiya who was now slowly waking up only to see his aunt he had been missing the most all this time.

The moment the little one opened his eyes, Yue Zhiya looked around confused and finally his eyes lingered on Yue Xuexia’s figure who was now smiling naturally unlike her usual expression. At first, Yue Zhiya thought he was dreaming about his aunt again and only when his uncle pinches his face that Yue Zhiya was not dreaming.

Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya said, "Little dumpling, finally awake~."

Yue Zhiyan only glanced at his uncle then at Yue Xuexia. He looked around to see his usual family members and started counting.

He starts mumbling half asleep, "Grandpa, Grandma, Second Aunt, Youngest Aunt, Uncle, Papa, Daddy and... Eldest Aunt?"

"Um~ Zhi’er is awake. Do you want to eat desserts?" Yue Xuexia asked.

When Yue Zhiya was still staying with the Moon Goddess, she loved to offer him desserts like this. Though he cannot eat a lot, the desserts his aunt makes were the most delicious. Yue Xuexia controlled her qi and allowed a small cup of fruit pudding to float in the hands of the little prince. Yue Zhiya ate it instinctively like before and only realized that this was real when the little one finished his pudding.

"Daddy, down. Zhi’er wants to go down," the little turnip said.

Yue Zhiya stares at the Moon Goddess with shock on his face as he struggles to go down from his dad’s lap. The Crown Princess smiled and gently took the empty cup from his son and placed him down on the soft carpet. The moment the small feet of Yue Zhiya landed on the ground, he immediately came running towards the Moon Goddess and hugged her.

"Guoguo~!" called Yue Zhiya as he hugged her.

Yue Xuexia had always been careful with children and immediately supported the little turnip that jumped on her.

"Alright. Stop crying. It’s a happy occasion to reunite at this moment. Just treat it like a reunion. I would be staying in the academy for a while. If you want to find me just send a message here," said Yue Xuexia.

Papa Yue asked, "Are you not coming home with us, Xue’er?"

"Not yet. I still have some business to do," said Yue Xuexia.

Upon hearing this, the Everlasting Moon Emperor couldn’t help but look at the Immortal Sun Emperor seated not far from them. Once glance was enough for the latter to understand what Yue Yuya wanted to do and it seems that Shen Jueyang had agreed to it.

"Xue’er, come and meet your brothers, and saozi." Mama Yue said, "This is your elder brother, Yue Leiya. This is your elder brother’s dao companion, Lei Ruiye. Zhi’er is their son. This is your second brother, Yue Wuya."

"Nice to meet you, Dage, Erge, Saozi. My name is Yue Xuexia," said Yue Xuexia.

The three men smiled at the Moon Goddess. Even though this is the first time they are meeting officially, family ties are truly hard to ignore. They can truly feel that the Moon Goddess in front of them is truly a part of their family.

The Crown Prince Yue Leiya asked, "Xue’er, why are you not coming back with us? Your business, is there something we can help you with?"

Everyone watches as Yue Xuexia’s fingers move as if calculating something before answering her elder brother.

"Dage, I cannot return yet. There is still something in the inner region I want to enter into. I want to go to the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest," said the Moon Goddess.

This time, except for Shen Jueyang, the whole family was surprised when they heard about the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest. This is a treasure land owned by the Divine Beast Race and they rarely let humans enter inside.

Second Prince Yue Wuya asked, "Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest? Why would you go there? I heard rumors that the Golden Dragon Divine Tribe had lost the last pure golden dragon descendant of theirs. It was because of this that their original plans of entering the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest had been halted. They’ve lost half of the key after all."

"The key to opening the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest is the heart’s blood essence of a pure bloodline of a dragon and a phoenix. Unless they find the missing cub, it would be impossible for them to open that treasure land," said Papa Yue.

The Crown Prince, Yue Leiya asked, "Is that why you are staying in the Inner Haven. You are waiting for that treasure land to open? If it is then it’s no wonder you wanted to wait here. The Black Cloud Academy is good. Xiao Ji and Ruru are studying in this place as well."

"But Xue’er, can you at least come back home from time to time?" Mama Yue asked.

The Moon Goddess knew that her current soul injuries won’t allow her to stay in the Core Haven for too long. That’s the extent of her injuries, being exposed to a place where the purest qi veins is located would be harmful for her current soul injuries. Only when she healed it at the Nirvana Pool can he enter the Core Haven. She didn’t tell her family about her injuries to avoid worrying them. What she didn’t know was that some people in the Yue Family had somehow guessed it in their minds.

Yue Xuexia said, "Okay. If I have time I will go."

Upon hearing this response, Mama Yue, the Everlasting Moon Empress was delighted. Though Yue Xuexia still cannot live together with them, at least they can visit her in this place anytime.

Mama Yue smiled, "Alright. Mama will cook your favorite foods when you come home."
