Chapter 778: Trading Hall (1)
With the appearance of the Everlasting Moon Empire’s crown prince, the Moon Domain of the Blue Moon had descended with his arrival. The two suns of the Sun Island were overcast revealing an evening sky with a sapphire hue crescent moon. Now the all day sunlight had disappeared, and under this dark sky, the Blood Moon Curse suppressed by the sun had once again revealed. Now all of the fairies in vicinity had blood strolling down their face and was even writhing in extreme pain as if their soul were being ripped slowly at this moment.
Even for the powerful Fairy Queen under the effects of this curse she is completely helpless. If she can actually endure the pain from this curse he wouldn’t have moved her race from the Fairy realm to this small sun island. This shows that even for a god king cultivator like herself, the blood moon curse is effective on her.
Well, she is actually unlucky. This Blood moon curse is indeed exclusive to the Moon Clan but the ones who can control it are limited to those with both talent in using the moon energy and rare elements of blood. Before it was known that only the ancestor of the Moon Clan can use it and would rarely use it as people rarely offend him as a tribulation cultivator. But now there is another one who can cast such an eerie curse, moreover, it’s from the younger generation. Most younger generations don’t know how to hold back.
In the case of the Moon Goddess, she is not only young, powerful but possessed a powerful realm. She was powerful enough to place a curse on the whole race when usually only a few generations would be affected by this type of curse. For this reason alone, a lot of older generations had warned their descendants not to offend the Moon Goddess or the Moon Clan itself. They didn’t want to become the fairy race who is unable to live under the evening sky.
AAHHH!
"My face! MY FACE!!!" The Fairy Queen wasn’t even screaming due to fear but for the fact that she felt disfigured thanks to the blood moon curse on her.
Plus, under the effects of the Moon Domain, the Blood Moon Curse effects were amplified. It was for this reason alone that the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Moon Empire wasn’t afraid of confronting the Fairy Queen and the fairy race under her as he knew how sinister the effect of this curse is.
Seeing the Fairy Queen crazy, Lord Consort Lei Ruiye felt that she deserved it all. Since she likes seducing people with her face, the curse was placed directly on her cheeks when in reality it should only appear on the part of their bodies like the other fairies who only have the curse insignia on their hands, arms, feet and legs. Only the fairy queen had one pasted directly on her face.
Yue Leiya upon seeing the reaction of the fairy race finally looked at his wife and asked, "Are you alright? You’ve done enough. Deactivate your domain so we can go home."
"I want to kill her," said Lord Consort Lei Ruiye.
Crown Prince Yue Leiya said, "Killing her right now is no different from ending her misery. Letting her live longer mean she can suffer longer. Moreover, you also want to visit Death Valley, don’t you?"
Thinking of the other culprit that caused his son to suffer outside was enough to calm down the Lord Consort’s rage. He deactivates his domain and glares at the Fairy Queen before returning to the carriage with his other half. The domain of the moon remained above the sun island for a week before it was deactivated by the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Moon Empire only after the Immortal Star Emperor pleaded with them to take it away.

Back to Dawn Star...
Today was actually the third day ever since the group of the Moon Goddess had arrived on this Trading Planet. Now they will attend the largest auction scheduled on this planet. This auction requires an invitation to be able to attend one and not just anyone can attend this auction. At the entrance of the Trading Hall, a red carpet was placed and guards with senior staff were standing at the door to check each invitation.
Each invitation had a different grade. The ordinary grade invitation is bronze color. Noble grade is in silver color and Royal grade one is in gold color. There is also a special VIP grade invitation that is in black color with golden letters. The ones who can receive the Special VIP grade invitation are those who will be given a private room and special attention during the auction. The invitation in the hands of Yue Xuexia and her people was a special VIP grade one.
People who have received the invitation are coming in one by one. Most guests who possessed Bronze invitations had already entered the venue and some of them were waiting at the entrance wanting to see the orders from entering. Those who had gold grade cards were people with great standing among the guests and everyone wanted to make connections with them.
Conversation within the crowd:
"Have you heard? They say that at today’s auction something rare will come out."
"I know. Didn’t they say there is some kind of clue about a god’s legacy being auctioned today?"
"Are those truths?"
"Yes. Why else do you think people from the middle haven would come over to such a small distant planet?"
"I heard some people from the central region had come!"
"You mean the rumors about the Moon Goddess?"
"I don’t think that is real."
"Right~, why would the Empress of the Immortal Sun Empire even come here?"
"By the way, have you heard?"
"About what?"
"They said one of the senior personnel of this hall was executed!"
"Really?! Why did such a thing happen?"
"They say that this person had allowed human traffickers on the island and they happened to catch one of the royal bloodline’s children!"
"A royalty was captured? Is that even possible? Aren’t those people usually more powerful than the others?"
"Yes! But it’s just a child... Not even ten years old."
Once they heard that it is a child that can barely run, everyone had an understanding. After all,regardless of your bloodline as a child who had no means to protect himself, getting caught by bad adults is not a surprise.
"Then what happened next?"
"They say that child stumbles in that royal one. You know the one at the harbor."
"That one!? Is this real?"
"Yeah, it’s real! They say that the child is someone from her clan and those traffickers. None of them ended well."
"The children were all saved as well."
"Who is crazy enough to take away a child from that clan? Are they crazy?"
"I heard it’s the Fairy Queen and Death Valley."
"Okay. These two are indeed lunatics."
By the entrance, three people shared one silver invitation. These three were covered in dark green cloaks and obviously the type of people who learn poison. They are actually quite infamous due to their cruelty.
"Isn’t that the Du Clan?"
"The Poison Clan?! The one from the middle region?"
"Shss~. Don’t be rude. Watch your mouth if you don’t want to die."
At the entrance, they were being asked for their invitation and were stopped by the old man who was standing by the door.
"Esteemed Guests, please show this old man your invitation please~," said the invitation checker by the door.
The three men from the Du Clan reach out their invitation but were also intending to poison the invitation checker just for fun. Who would have thought that the old man’s cultivation is not simple and the poison were all blocked. A smile that doesn’t look like a smile appeared on the old man’s face.
He said, "If the guests are going to be naught in the venue then we can only invite you to leave now."
The man in cape held up his hand in surrender and said, "I was only joking. Don’t take it seriously~"
"Poison is forbidden during the auction. I hope the esteemed guests keep their hands to themselves," the old man at the door said.
The person from the Du Clan slapped the back of the head who was planning the poisoning and scolded him. Then he apologized to the old man at the entrance.
"What the hell do you think you are doing, Xiao Ye? Keep your hands to yourself!" the adult among the three in the cape said. Before saying to the personnel at the door, "The child is uneducated. I will discipline him later."
The old man at the door said, "Then please show me your invitation."
A silver color invitation was passed to the old man who checked for its legitimacy and let the three inside. After all, on every invitation is a special crest one can hardly replicate.
"Welcome to the Trading Hall’s Auction. Please come inside and someone will show these guests where their seats will be. Please enter!"
