Chapter 988: Two Different People

The declaration of the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang, had caught the two princes of the Everlasting Moon Empire. The Crown Prince, Yue Leiya didn’t expect the man in front of them to confess that he never liked the Moon Goddess of his previous life but is in love with the current reincarnation of the former Moon Empress. This is a confession that the Twin Moon Princes didn’t expect to hear. Though it sounds ridiculous in the ears of the two princes as in their eyes, Yue Xuehua and Yue Xuexia are the same person. They didn’t know that these two ladies were two completely different people. They only have one origin and that is they are both the Moon Goddess or both parts of her.

As expected, the first one to react badly was the Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya.

He said, "What kind of bullshit are you talking about!? How can you say Xuehua and Xuexia are two different people? If you are going to make excuses then there is no need to say such lies!"

"I am not lying," said Shen Jueyang. "If you don’t believe me you can ask Uncle."

The two moon princes observed the Immortal Sun Emperor’s face trying to find something that may expose him for this lie. Unfortunately, his face didn’t even change once and remained serious the moment he had said these words that involved Yue Xuexia. Yue Leiya and Yue Wuya couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at their father. Who doesn’t seem surprised with what the Immortal Sun Emperor had just said.

The Crown Prince, Yue Leiya, asked, "Father, is he... telling the truth? Hua’er and Xue’er are two different people?"

"How is that possible!? Isn’t it reincarnation? Moreover, she had died... how... How is she still alive? If so... why doesn’t she go home?" The second moon prince, Yue Wuya asked.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "How can she go home? She still hasn’t mastered cloning technique yet to create her own body and is still living in Xue’er’s body. Do you want her to come back as a soul?"

These words stunned the two moon princes dumbfounded, on the other hand, the Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya asked, "Once Hua’er mastered Cloning Technique she will have a new body? Does Xue’er know about this?"

"Of course, those two treat each other like sisters. The Cloning Technique she is training was also something Xue’er had given to her," said Shen Jueyang. "If you wish to speak with Yue Xuehua, you can ask Xue’er she will definitely not ignore your request."

The two princes didn’t notice the sarcastic tone of the Immortal Sun Emperor when he had said these words. Yet the Everlasting Moon Emperor did, he realized the hidden meaning in Shen Jueyang’s words and his eyes slightly narrowed dangerously.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya glared at his sons and said, "You two better don’t speak nonsense. Just wait for Hua’er to gain a body. If you ask Xue’er now, she will never treat you as her real brother! Haven’t you experienced being ignored before?"

Crown Prince Leiya and Second Prince Wuya recalled the first time they had met Yue Xuexia in her soul form. At first, she didn’t recognize them and treated them as strangers at that time, they thought her memories weren’t back until she gave away something that could save their Uncle Yuye’s life and disappeared. But if the words of the Immortal Sun Emperor is real, that Yue Xuehua and Yue Xuexia are two different person that means that their sister in the distant past is Yue Xuehua, this is the person who had grown with the two moon princes but she wasn’t the one who is called the eldest sister in the mind of the two moon princesses. Meanwhile, Yue Xuexia is the elder sister who was born in the mortal world with Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia but she wasn’t the sister that they, Yue Leiya and Yue Wuya, had grown up together with.

If they only focused on Yue Xuehua, Yue Xuexia might feel that in the eyes of her elder brothers, she will never be as important as the former. After all, they had just officially met today and they are already asking about the other sister who had nothing to do with her. Moreover, they had heard from their father and mother that aside from familial love, Yue Xuexia could barely understand other kinds of love. To her, family is the most important but what if this family was someone whom she deemed not worthy being called family? Wouldn’t that mean they are just strangers in Yue Xuexia’s eyes?

The Crown Prince of the Everlasting Moon Palace, Yue Leiya and the Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya, had already witnessed how the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia treats her enemies. She was merciless. They had also witnessed how she treated strangers. They were no different than air in her eyes. Once they had become strangers in their own sister’s eyes, wouldn’t that mean their existence will be no different than a piece of grass blade at the side of the road? Even if they were killed or harmed by someone, Yue Xuexia will definitely watch them as if they do not exist in her world at all. That is worse than being treated as her enemies.

At the very least, as enemies they would be seen as someone worthy of killing, but as strangers, they will be nothing at all, in the eyes of the Moon Goddess. Finally, understanding the predicament and hidden meaning in the Immortal Sun Emperor’s words, Crown Prince Yue Leiya and Second Prince Yue Wuya, felt cold sweat running on their backs. Being treated by their all powerful younger sister, someone who had gotten the legacy of the Primordial Lightning God with the pure bloodlines of four kinds. Isn’t that no different than offending a living ancestor? Just thinking about it made the two moon princes shivers.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya said to his two useless sons. "You two little bastards. You haven’t gotten close to your younger sister, Xue’er, yet and are already this indecisive. How useless! Go away and prepare your gifts for your younger sister properly!"

These words are clearly their father asking the two of them to leave. Yue Leiya immediately understood what their father meant. On the other hand, the second prince thought that their father was truly angry that he didn’t prepare a proper meeting gift for Yue Xuexia. The Crown Prince dragged away his youngest brother after getting the hidden meaning of Yue Yuya’s words. Clearly, their father wanted to have a private conversation with the Immortal Sun Emperor.

Yue Leiya salutes, "Father, Immortal Sun Emperor, do excuse us."

After saying these words, the Crown Prince Yue Leiya had dragged away his stunned second brother. The latter looked around innocently as he couldn’t understand why things had resulted in him being taken away by his elder brother and why is their father calling them useless? Unfortunately, no one is willing to explain to him at this moment. Only when the Twin Moon Prince had left the backyard that Yue Yuya had started asking for things he wanted to know the most.

With the sudden shift in the atmosphere which the Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t ignore, the Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya said, "You told me you will tell me everything about Xue’er’s current situation. Why are her emotions even more unstable and almost nonexistent than before?"

"In the Regal Lei’s Clan’s treasure land, one of her flower spirit children had died," Shen Jueyang said.

Papa Yue knew that her daughter was raising Lotus Flower Spirits that gained sentience and treated them as her children. Normally, people would call this a hobby but it’s completely different when it comes to his daughter, Yue Xuexia. To others these flower spirits are simply no different than pets, if they found a good owner they might get treated as a little princess but they are still a pet. On the other hand, for the Moon Goddess, she treated those lotus flower spirits as her family. Being part of Yue Xuexia’s family means that they received her love wholeheartedly as this is the only expression of love in her eyes. She was the most overprotective in their Yue Clan, maybe because her bloodline as the Lightning God’s descendant is as pure as her bloodline as the Moon Deity’s descendant. Because of this, the Moon Goddess never tolerates people bullying her family.

If the Lotus Flower Children of hers were indeed killed she would have gone crazy and something along the way might have happened which greatly affected her soul and caused her already little emotions to fade as well. Of course, only those who were truly close to the Moon Goddess can notice this change. The Yue Family is her family, why wouldn’t they notice the strangeness of their daughter’s fluctuating emotions.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Yuya was startled. "What did you say?!" This reaction meant he had somehow guessed what happened after something like his daughter’s flower spirit dying.
