Chapter 987: I want something cute

At the Beast Taming Peak...

After Peak Master Lao Xue found the people he is looking for, with his new disciple being introduced and him welcoming the child is normal. Now being asked for a beast egg by his new disciple was not surprising, the problem is this new disciple is someone from the Core Haven where their contracted beasts were mostly divine grade and he had only prepared Spirit Beasts and only had one Divine Beast egg in his possession. It’s the beast egg their Holy Saintess had gifted him. Even though the Black Cloud Academy had Taotie as their Guardian Beast, that one is still Principal Wu Yao’s contracted beast and he cannot ask him to let it live in their mountain peak.

The Divine Beast Egg that was given to him by the Moon Goddess was his only hope for his own peak to possess a trademark that shows that their peak cannot only tame Spirit Beast but also Divine Beast. It was his dream and now that he had a chance to fulfill it he didn’t want to give it away. But Yue Ruxia is his new disciple and not giving a gift that fits her level is simply embarrassing. He didn’t want the Ancient Moon Clan to think that he cannot even give away a decent welcoming gift for his disciple. The Moon Goddess seems to understand the hesitation of Peak Master Lao Xu.

The Moon Goddess said, "Martial Uncle Xu, this girl doesn’t need a divine beast egg as a welcoming gift. What she wanted is something large and fluffy, that is also cute. Just give her something similar to this wolf or that lion over them, the more fur it has the better."

"That’s right, Master! I don’t care much about the rank of the beast. Just give me something cute. It would be better if it can shrink or get bigger. Something I can hug in my sleep," said Yue Ruxia.

Peak Master Lao Xue felt relief washed over his heart when he heard this. After all, he cannot actually give a gift that was given to him as another gift to someone that is a bit rude. He had actually prepared a snow leopard spirit beast egg to this new disciple of his. Seeing that Yue Ruxia actually didn’t mind the rank of the beast, Peak Master Xu had given it away.

Elder Lao Xu said, ’Disciple, Master didn’t prepare the best thing for your welcoming gift. So have this snow leopard beast egg to you and this semi-divine defensive artifact flying umbrella. Also this beast taming manuals, you can study it when you have time. The beast egg needs to be incubated for a bit longer."

Maybe because of guilt, Peak Master Lao Xu had given away more gifts than he had prepared for his new disciple. He planned to find a way to gather more gifts for this new disciple of his to compensate her for not being able to provide any divine beast egg for her. It’s just that he was actually poor due to countless expenses to keep the beast taming mountain running. However, Yue Ruxia didn’t care much about the other gifts from her master. She can’t take her eyes off the white egg with black spot in the incubator her master had given to her. This is her first official beast that was hers alone.

The excitement within those pairs of silver eyes was something that cannot be hidden. Yue Ruxia was definitely more happy to get a Indigo grade Spirit Beast egg than the semi-divine defensive artifact her master had given to her.

Elder Lao Xu also noticed them and was stunned for a moment. He never expected that this new disciple of his was the type to like beasts as long as they are cute and full of fur. The type that felt comfortable for hugging and her being clingy. So this snow leopard beast egg was the greatest gift for Yue Ruxia.

The youngest moon princess asked, "Master, when will this beast egg hatch? Do I need to do something else?"

"You need at least a month more before it can start hatching. You need to nurture it with your qi for it to see you as its master before it hatches. Also, do not take it out of the incubator for too long and you cannot allow its egg to break or the spirit beast inside will die," warned Elder Lao Xu.

Yue Ruxia recorded everything her master had told her to keep in mind. She happily hugged her egg and smiled at her master.

"Master, thank you for the gift. I like it a lot!"

Seeing this reaction, Peak Master Lao Xu believes that he had indeed found a good disciple. This is the first he had seen someone this excited about hatching a spirit beast egg. It was only a spirit beast but Yue Ruxia was so happy to receive it. After a while, her master had told his eldest disciple to help register his junior sister. Also to prepare her robes and personal token that would allow her to enter this mountain peak anytime. Once everything had been given, Yue Ruxia explained to her master that she would not be able to stay on this peak tonight as she wanted to accompany her family who would be staying over for one night and would leave immediately the next morning.

Upon learning that the Everlasting Moon Emperor and his family were staying over at their academy both Peak Master Xu and his eldest disciple, Fang Ji were shocked. Never would he expect that the current Everlasting Moon Emperor and the Everlasting Moon Empress had come to their academy and would even stay over for the night. After all, they are true rulers of their own empires and they all came from the Core region. But handling things from the main peak isn’t something they handle, after the ladies had informed the Peak Master of the Beast Taming mountain, that they were leaving for now and Yue Ruxia would come back. Like what the Peak Master of the Sword Peak had decided, like her second sister, Yue Ruxia’s master had approved that she can stay out of the peak mountain they are registered for their family’s sake.

Meanwhile, at the side of the Immortal Sun Emperor who was taken away by the Everlasting Moon Emperor and his two sons, were now at the garden area of the Yueguang Peak enjoying some wine which four men had decided to share among themselves. Papa Yue was the first one to drink the Spirit Fruit Wine, the puppet maids of the mansion were the one who had given this wine.

Yue Yuya, the Everlasting Moon Emperor wasn’t the first one to start the conversation within this group. He had let the young ones clear the misunderstandings between each other as they were people of the same generation. The Crown Prince, Yue Leiya and the Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya, were staring at the Immortal Sun Emperor with a cold and guarded look. For the two of them, the man before them is the same person who had harmed their sister once in the past. The pain that had lasted for not being able to get the love of the man she had loved the most and their tragic end.

Yue Leiya asked, "Immortal Sun Emperor, why are you staying by the side of our sister? Isn’t that previous life enough to show your uncompatibility?"

"Elder brother is right. You have always ignored our sister in the past. Even though your previous marriage wasn’t done because of love, her feelings for you were real." The Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya said.

The Immortal Sun Emperor wasn’t offended by the words of the two Moon Princes. After all, these words they had spoken were indeed true though everything was already that had happened in the past. That Immortal Sun Emperor was no longer the same as the current one.

Shen Jueyang honestly responded, "I am not the same as in our previous life. The me back then and the me right now might have the same origin but our feelings are different from the past. I confess that in our previous life, I truly didn’t love the Moon Empress. I had only married her as I need an Alliance that will increase my strength and allow me to overwhelm cultivators from the other world."

One can see the expression of the moon princes weren’t good when they heard the words spoken by the Immortal Sun Emperor. On the other hand, the Everlasting Moon Emperor remains neutral and waits for these young masters to clean up the old things and relationship that involves their Ancient Moon Clan’s eldest princess, Yue Xuexia.

Shen Jueyang said, "In case you have forgotten, the current Moon Goddess is not the same as before. The one from my previous life is called Yue Xuehua and the Moon Goddess of this era is Yue Xuexia. They might have the same origin but they are two different people."

"There is only one woman I declared that I, Shen Jueyang, truly loves. It’s the woman called Yue Xuexia and not Yue Xuehua. I hope the two moon princes accept this fact," declared the Immortal Sun Emperor.
