Chapter 770: Market Place
Yue Zhiya finally finding a place to hide made him slightly lower his guard. He felt so fatigued for keeping his guard up and is now slipping on to him. What he didn’t notice is the lit incense in the area he was in slowly spreading scent that aids in sleeping. As soon as the young child fell into slumber , someone approached him and gently carried him in her arms. It was the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia. Behind her, is her great grandfather, Elf King Andromeda.
Yue Xuexia said, "Great Grandfather, can you capture those me and find out where they come from?"
"I don’t mind doing this for you but why?" Elf King Andromeda asked as he knew that this great granddaughter would not care much about strangers, especially in a new place that she knows nothing about.
But when he saw the slight silver shade on the child’s hair, Elf King Andromeda immediately understood. Silver hair and argent irises, these are the main features of Yue Clan’s royal bloodline. That means this brat is most likely to the Moon Clan and a direct descendant like Yue Xuexia. It’s just that unlike the boy, Yue Xuexia’s hair and eyes would only turn silver when she is using her moon domain or intentionally wields the moon energy in her body. She likes keeping her hair and eyes black.
Elf King Andromeda stared at the child in his great granddaughter’s embrace and asked, "Whose child is this?"
"Maybe one of the twin moon princes," answered Yue Xuexia.
She started casting a gentle golden light on the child healing his injuries and wounds which are all over his body. She had changed the child’s clothing after using a cleansing spell on him. Only then did she sigh in relief.
The Moon Goddess finally looks at her great grandfather.
She asked, "Great Grandfather, do you want to look after the child and the house or clean up the mess outside?"
Sigh~
Elf King Andromeda let out a helpless sigh as he ruffled the young lady’s hair in front of him and prepared to leave.
"Stay at home. You are injured. Unless you stabilize your qi, stop using it to fight. I’ll clean up the area, you rest. I will be back before dinner,"
Elf King Andromeda said as he left the house. It was clear what he planned to do. Capture the man who was chasing the brat from before, find their warehouse and gather information about the situation. This is obviously a case of human trafficking and something his great granddaughter hates the most. After all, in the modern world, this case is what the country she came from hates the most.
Yue Xuexia climbed up the second floor to one of the guest’s rooms and placed him on the clean bed, letting him sleep properly. She didn’t leave right away. Instead, she prepared another table and started making clothes for the boy.

Meanwhile in the city...
The Tan family who had left to buy something for dinner, had been welcomed by a marketplace full of all kinds of things. Since this is a trading planet there are lots of varieties of goods being sold even in small stalls like this. From food, immortal herbs, even weapons and talismans were being sold on the road. Of course, it cannot be said that these sold things are all high grade. Most high grade items were being sold only by the Trading Center Hall which was under the ownership of this planet’s owner, Young master Su Liyi.
"This place has everything. For our use this is enough but... It’s not worthy enough for the Mistress and Lord Andromeda to use," said Tang Yuyi.
Tan Shenyu asked, "Mom, should we go to the trading hall? Or buy what we need first."
"How about we split up? Brother Shen and I can buy the groceries. Bing’er and Ren’er, can buy some necessities. Dad and Mom can buy things for the Mistress and the Lord," Tan Shuyi suggested.
Tan Huangyu thought for a moment and said, "This way we won’t waste time. Bing’er, A’Ren, buy some new clothes for us. Modern clothing is a bit unique in this world. It’s better to wear some ancient robes."
"I think I’ve seen the store that sells some clothing in that direction, Bing’er," said Xue Renxue.
Tan Bingyu said, as she listed the proportions of the whole family. She had given most of the many to her grandparents as they would be the one who will buy things for their masters.
She added, "Then before 6, let’s gather here again."
After that the three couples had split up and headed to the place they were tasked to buy something. Tan Shenyu and his wife, Xue Shuyi, had headed to the market where food was being sold. Of course, they didn’t go to the area where ordinary ingredients are being sold, instead they went to where spirit animals full of qi were being sold, this includes immortal fruits and vegetables.
Spirit Animals were ranked from lowest to highest: Red is the weakest grade, followed by Orange grade, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo with Violet being the strongest. It had levels each grade with the weakest being at 1st level and 7th level. It was said some special 7th level Spirit animals are said to be born with divine bloodline. Though it wasn’t a pure bloodline it was enough for it to possess flesh of part divinity which is good for consumption for cultivators.
"3rd level Red grade Silver deer for sale. Only 1000 low grade spirit stones."
"5th level Orange grade Angel Arowana only for 50 medium grade spirit stones per kilo."
"1st level Yellow grade Obsidian shrimps 100 medium grade spirit stones per kilo."
"4th level Yellow grade Crystal Lobster 500 medium grade spirit stones per kilo."
"7th level Green grade Salamander 1000 medium or 1 high grade spirit stones per kilo."
Tan Shenyu and Xue Shuyi were amazed by the products being sold before them though it cannot be compared to the ones the Mistress and Lord Shen had captured in their star’s ocean before, as those were spirit beasts and not animals, it is a sight to behold.
Xue Shuyi’s eyes wandered on the available items and said, "I think having a seafood hotpot tonight is not a problem. Having a barbeque on the side is also not bad."
"Alright, wife. Just buy enough for tomorrow morning. We can just return tomorrow to buy ingredients for lunch and dinner," Tan Shenyu said.
Xue Shuyi said, "Indeed. Maybe tomorrow there will be more choices. Buy enough for ten people. Two parts for extra for those who wanted seconds. Let’s go."
She pulled her husband to buy more than a few dozen kilos of food in the wet market and went to the vegetable areas for some greens and fruits. They bought a lot which they couldn’t hold in their two hands and just placed most of it in her space tool which is in the form of a ring which matches Tan Shenyu’s. This pair of wedding rings is a gift from their mistress.
While the two were busy shopping for food for their whole group, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue entered an expensive looking cloth store which was found on the way. When they entered the store, they were a bit amazed by the variety of cloth colors and patterns available. The young couple looked amazed and was looking around like a country bumpkin. However, the store owner didn’t dare to look down on them. After all, they possessed weapons of unknown grade and were wearing strange clothing.
It had already spread throughout the whole planet that the Moon Goddess had arrived in their star and was accompanied by three couples of different generations, a monk and the Goddess’s great grandfather who is at least in Godking realm. They are guests with special standing. Though the owner of the planet prevented others from spreading Her Majesty’s presence, everyone on the planet already knew but was forbidden from openly speaking of her by her title. They can only call her goddess and no more.
"There’s a lot of clothes in here. Bing’er, let’s have our robes made into a couple looks. Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma would definitely like it," Xue Renxue said to his dao companion.
Tan Bingyu was checking the texture of the clothes but felt nothing seemed to fit the skin of her mistress. Most robes in her mistress’ possession were either provided by Lord Shen, the system and even Lord Andromeda. Each of these robes had their own designs. Most ancient robes from Lord Shen were designed with sun and moon, dragons and phoenixes in black, crimson, and gold. As the one from the system, it was designed with lotus flowers, snow flakes and moon in silver, white and grey. As for the ones from Lord Andromeda, it’s a robe made with designs of vines, leaves and nature in green, white and gold color.
She said, "This type of low grade material will harm the Mistress’s skin. Maybe we can only buy ours here and find another store for the Mistress’s clothes."
