571: Ming Xi Is Here
He knew that the girl, despite being young, had already given birth. He wondered why his master crossed out another girl he had carefully selected in favor of this one.
Mo Yan didnt understand. He didnt know everything even though he was the dukes confidant.
Congratulations to the two ladies who have survived to now. The one who survives this round will be the mistress of Blue Moon caste. The final winner will be the one who kills her opponent. The round starts now.
After Mo Yan announced this, he stepped back and looked at the two girls standing on either side with a smile on his face.
Neither of them started fighting immediately. Feng Wu wasnt interested in the fight. She already had someone she wanted to marry, nor did she want to be the wife of the Duke of Blue Moon.
Feng Wu pursed her lips but remained silent. This man felt too dangerous. Relying on her keen animal intuition, she felt that if she said this, she would die immediately. She decided to remain silent.
Feng Wus intuition wasnt wrong. If she had dared say she didnt want to compete, as a crazy supporter of the duke, the head steward would have killed her immediately.
Even if Feng Wu was specially brought over by the duke, there were still rules to follow. If she didnt follow those rules then she would be killed.
Feng Wu and Mei Luo remained where they were. Mei Luo was thinking about how to kill Feng Wu, while Feng Wu was wondering when Ming Xi would arrive. She didnt want to marry someone else.
Feng Wu was fine with Mei Luo winning. But this didnt seem to work out either. She would die if Mei Luo won. Mo Yan said they could only win if one of them killed the other.
Feng Wu didnt want to die. She had to live so Ming Xi could come and pick her up. It looked like the only way to survive was to beat the girl across from her.
But if she won, then she would have to marry the Duke of Blue Moon. A rare emotion called entanglement appeared on Feng Wus normally expressionless face.
The girls stood facing each other for a quarter of an hour with neither of them showing any indication of moving.
Mo Yan was just about to remind them they needed to start attacking each other when the moonlight in the sky grew extraordinarily dazzling.
The single blue moon shone no matter the time; there wasnt a difference between night and day in Blue Moon. It gave off the same chilly blue light without fluctuations. No warmth came from it.
But the light suddenly changed, becoming brighter and taking on a dreamlike haze.
Why is the Moon emperor here in my Blue Moon realm? A majestic figure with a hint of malicious aura walked from the sky to suddenly appear above the girls and Mo Yan.
At the same time, a figure as beautiful as a dream appeared under the light of the moon.
The astonishingly beautiful man had long blond hair, icy blue eyes, and a slight smile on his lips that was as warm as the spring breeze and filled with the tenderness of moonlight.
Prince Ming Xi! The Duke of Blue Moon was a little surprised when he saw the person coming. He originally thought it was the Moon emperor and had not expected it to be the Crown Prince Ming Xi.
Duke of Blue Moon. Ming Xi slightly nodded in the direction of the duke.
I wonder why Prince Ming Xi is here in my Blue Moon realm.
The duke was polite towards Ming Xi, the future Moon Emperor. The Moon emperor was not easy to deal with and the duke did not want to confront any of the current worlds top powers for the time being.
I came for my fiance, Feng Wu. She was invited by Your Grace and I miss her very much. Is it possible for me to being my fiance back? Ming Xi smiled lightly. He didnt show the slightest timidity in front of the old pervert.
Fiance? The people the duke brought were all thoroughly investigated and it was impossible for them to have direct connections to the royal families of the four great empires, let alone the be the future Moon emperors fiance.
He knew Ming Xi was lying but he chose not to reveal the matter. Instead, he cast a questioning look at Mo Yan.
Your Highness, Prince Ming Xis fiance is indeed here. It is this subordinate's fault for not investigating properly. . . Mo Yan immediately took the blame.
It was the responsibility of a subordinate to take the blame for the master, not to mention Mo Yan was a rabid supporter of the Duke of Blue Moon, so taking the blame for his master was nothing at all.
For a die-hard fan, it was an honor.
Go down and receive punishment later. The duke finished speaking without emotion, then glanced at Feng Wu again. She is Prince Ming Xis fiance, so naturally she will return with Prince Ming Xi.
Had it been any of the other three emperors, he wouldnt have been so accommodating, but a pity it was someone from the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom.
As long as there was a moon, the Moon emperor could be regarded as an invincible existence. Although Ming Xi was not the Moon emperor yet, he had the blood of previous Moon emperors before him. Otherwise the dukes powers would have blocked Ming Xi from entering Blue Moon.
Feng Wus eyes were bright as she looked eagerly at Ming Xi like a puppy wronged by its owner. Ming Xi was finally here to pick her up!
Ming Xi, for his part, appeared calm but was in reality quite relieved. He was betting on the duke giving him face to make the gambit succeed. If the duke didnt give him face, they would have had to fight a vicious battle.
In order to increase the odds in his favor, he even brought the divine sword from home. He had hoped he would have the strength to wield it against the Duke of Blue Moon.
The duke acquiesced after such a short conversation. Ming Xi was surprised things went smoothly and that there would be no earth-shattering battle. With the dukes personality, he really had expected a fight.
Ming Xi stretched out his hand toward Feng Wu and the moonlight lifted her up to his side.
Mei Luo, who had been neglected by everyone, rushed up and hugged Feng Wu.
No! You cant leave like this! Take me with you! You cant leave me here alone! Mei Luo screamed. She was jealous and resentful of Feng Wu. Jealous because Feng Wu had such an outstanding fianc who cared so much for her he even came to such a dangerous place to rescue her. Resentful because Feng Wu was selfish and escaping alone. Clearly the girl didnt care if Mei Luo lived or died!
~Well duh.
572: Transforming into a Demon
Mei Luo held firmly onto Feng Wu, determined not to let Feng Wu get away without her. She didnt want to die in such a terrible place by herself. If Feng Wu didnt take her along, then she would rather they both die together!
Feng Wu frowned unhappily as she looked at Mei Luo pulling her down.
Ming Xi frowned as well. Being able to take Feng Wu away was already the duke giving him face. It was impossible for him to take another person. Besides, he had nothing to do with the girl. There was no reason for him to displease the duke for her. If this went on, none of them may be able to leave.
What a naughty girl. The duke smiled but it didnt reach his eyes.
Mo Yan immediately waved his hand and Mei Luo, who was holding onto Feng Wu, flew off like a kite with a broken string.
Without Mei Luos burden, the soft moonlight floated Feng Wu up into the sky to Ming Xis side.
Ming Xi took Feng Wus hand and said farewell to the duke before disappearing into the moonlight.
No. . . Mei Luo moaned in despair at the sight of them leaving.
Why wouldnt they take her away with them?! Why?! The resentment in Mei Luos heart almost overwhelmed her. Layers of black mist appeared on her body, growing thicker and thicker until Mei Luo was completely shrouded in black mist.
This. . . Mo Yan was a little surprised. He didnt expect the girl to be possessed!
In all the centuries they had held the bride contest, not a single girl had ever become a demon. This girl was the first. Her hatred was truly deep!
Interesting, really interesting. Mo Yan, let her go back. The Duke of Blue Moon looked at the demonized Mei Luo and smiled.
Yes, Your Grace. Mo Yan lightly waved his hand and a black hole immediately appeared below Mei Luo.
Mei Luo fell straight down and disappeared.
Your Grace, why did you let those two go just now? Didnt Your Grace personally choose the one called Feng Wu? This subordinate thought Your Grace attached great importance to that girl.
Mo Yan cautiously asked his master after the last two candidates left.
Feng Wu interests me deeply. Despite being an ordinary person, she successfully gave birth to the reincarnation of the elf king. You must understand, it is simply impossible for an ordinary person to give birth to a god, and yet she did. Not only that, but she is also living a good life without any physical problems. Dont you think that is very interesting?
The duke turned around and disappeared into the sky, returning to his study with Mo Yan following closely behind.
Once in the study, Mo Yan poured the duke a glass of wine. The duke took the glass and sat down in his seat to leisurely sip it. Mo Yans heart was a turbulent sea as he quietly waited at the side. Outwardly he looked as calm as ever.
The girl had given birth to the elf king! Moreover, she was still alive and living well. It was incredible that she wasnt exhausted to death by the elf king.
Even the goddesses of the God realm werent qualified to give birth to the elf king. How did an ordinary human do it?
Also, what was the elf king thinking?! Even if he was reborn, he shouldnt have chosen a human being as his mother! Mo Yan couldnt understand the logic.
How could he know the elf king didnt have a choice in the matter at all? The original Feng Wu had bad luck and unintentionally asked for death by eating the life fruit that the elf king had turned into. As a result, she expended all her energy and died in labor. Feng Wu transmigrated into her body and completed the process.
I didnt expect her to be the future Moon emperors fiance. This surprised me. Now that Prince Ming Xi has taken her away, I wont be able to investigate her body and find out what is so different about her. Why was her labor so easy? A pity. The duke sighed regretfully before drinking the wine in his glass.
Mo Yan poured more. It is truly a pity. But why did Your Grace let the other girl go as well? Your Grace, could have had some fun with her. Her body is a natural water spirit vessel and would have made a beautiful doll.
She would have been one more doll to the collection. What was the point in that? Her hatred for Prince Ming Xi and Feng Wu is so deep that now that shes a demon, she will surely cause trouble for them. I gave her back to Prince Ming Xi, but Im not sure hell be able to handle the present. . .
The Duke of Blue Moon smiled meaningfully. Mo Yan, as his confidant, understood his meaning immediately.
The duke was upset at Ming Xi for entering Blue Moon and taking Feng Wu away. This was his way of paying Ming Xi back.
Mei Luo had turned into a human demon, so as long as she didnt show her demonic aura, no one would know what she was.
With such an enemy, the girl named Feng Wu and that Prince Ming Xi would be in danger, thought Mo Yan. Very good.
Feng Wu and Ming Xi didnt know the duke had given them such an enormous present. They were currently in the palace inside the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom.
Ming Xi wasnt the emperor yet. He was still young and only in his twenties. His strength wasn't at its peak so he shouldnt have been able to use the power of moonlight the same way his father did.
The only way to find Feng Wu was to return to the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom and borrow the power of the twin moons to trigger the divine blood in his body. He knew he would be able to find Feng Wu by using the connection in the divine blood and bring her back with him.
It only looked like it was easy for him to bring Feng Wu back, but in fact, it was a lot of wear on his body. His face was deathly pale, and he blacked out as soon as they returned to the palace.
Ming Xi blacking out caused the entire palace to panic. Not long after he was sent to his room, an old, white-bearded man ran into the palace and directly to Ming Xis room at a speed that belied his age. He began treating Ming Xi as soon as he stepped in.
The Moon emperor and empress arrived shortly after. They were both anxious. The empress sat on the edge of the bed and cried pear blossom tears. Even crying, she was astonishingly beautiful. It was no wonder the Moon emperor loved the empress so much and couldnt wait to marry her.
High Priest, I dont understand, what is wrong with Ming Xi? How can a good person suddenly faint like that? His vitality is so weak; what serious injury did he suffer? Does he need any precious elixirs? The empress wiped tears off her cheeks as she looked at the white-bearded old man who had just finished taking Ming Xis pulse.
The old man frowned as he thought about the illness in Ming Xi.
