Chapter 962: Crazy Fairy Queen
Black Cloud Academy’s Main Peak
Inside the mansion under Principal Wu Yao, the two unexpected guests were invited by his beloved disciple, the Moon Goddess to his abode’s receiving area. The puppet maids had long prepared the drinks and snacks for the guests as Yue Xuexia had commanded them before her grandparents had arrived. Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang took a sofa in the middle location while the elders took the either side so they could see each other face to face.
The Moon Goddess said, "Granny, Gramps, this is my master, Wu Yao." She said to his grandparents.
She then looked at his master, Wu Yao. "Master, these are my grandparents. My grandfather, Yue Zhiyan and my grandmother, Su Hialun."
Then looked at his grandparents again, "I don’t know if you remember him, Gramps, Granny, this is Shen Jueyang. He is..."
Everyone waited for Yue Xuexia to complete her words including Shen Jueyang. Unfortunately, she didn’t know how to complete this sentence. She had this unknown emotion in her, but she cannot explain it in words. In the end, she chose the closest words in her heart.
"...someone as important as family to me," Yue Xuexia completed her words in the end.
What Yue Xuexia didn’t know, that these words were simply just an indirect way of saying that Shen Jueyang was someone she likes. However, the Goddess of the Moon didn’t know anything about love except for familial love. This is the last love left in Yue Xuexia’s heart after sealing the rest. As expected, the three elders sighed while the young man smiled with a red blush on his face making him want to try hiding his face when they heard Yue Xuexia’s response.
Frowning in worry, "Jueyang, your face is red again? Are you not feeling well?" asked Yue Xuexia trying to reach out her hand to try to touch Shen Jueyang’s forehead.
This time because there are elders, Shen Jueyang didn’t dare to repeat what happened before at the backyard. He held Yue Xuexia’s hand stretching to touch his forehead and pull it down.
Shen Jueyang said, "Xue’er, don’t worry. I am alright." There is a smile on his face.
The confused Yue Xuexia stared at him for a while before using sacred healing on Shen Jueyang just to be sure. This kind of skill that needs divinity to be used was a rare kind of skill yet in the hands of the Moon Goddess, it was just something she used so she can instantly cure someone’s injuries and ordinary illness. Yue Xuexia uses it for common fevers and something similar.
The Moon Goddess said, "Just in case."
"Thank you, Xue’er!" The Immortal Sun Emperor cheerfully responded.
Yue Xuexia spends most time with her grandparents all day long. She even brought the couple to a mountain peak under her name, the Moonlight Peak. While she was spending time with her grandparents, Shen Jueyang stayed at the main peak with the old man, Wu Yao. The two of them were now seated at the stone table under the wisteria tree watching the festivity under the mountain peak.
Wu Yao had joined him at the table with a set of tea cups for the two of them and said, "This is rare. You are not accompanying Xue’er with her grandparents?"
The Immortal Sun Emperor reached out of the tea cup that was served to him by his master in name. He said, "Let them spend more time together. This is actually a reunion for them."
Thinking of what had happened in that ancient ruins, Wu Yao had an inkling that his beloved disciple had experienced something sad and painful at that time in exchange for the power she has right now. After all, at that time, Yue Xuexia was only a mortal when she had first entered the ancient ruins. That was also the first meeting she had with Wu Yao.
Wu Yao said, "Does it have something to do with her tribulation? Normally, the more talented one is, the crazier their tribulation was."
The Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t deny yet didn’t speak up to show agreement as well. However, he understood too well what kind of tribulation Yue Xuexia had undergone. A heartbreaking one, that had caused her whole family to be separated from her. It was a forced separation that caused her to be left behind on that Mortal Star alone.
"Yes. Her tribulation killed her family. Thankfully, they were prepared and what was killed were only their avatars in the mortal star," said Shen Jueyang.
Wu Yao frowned only for a moment and took a sip of his tea before letting out a helpless sigh. He said, "Such kind of tribulation would have never ended with just one time."
Shen Jueyang then recalled about the death of Yue Hualei, one of the flower spirits Yue Xuexia considered as her child. He thought deeply and even managed to ask himself, "Just how many deaths would come before one completed her cultivation?"
"How many have you experienced, Jueyang?" Wu Yao asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor suddenly recalled his past when he was still so weak that the others could easily trample him, bully him and beat him up. He wasn’t born powerful right from the beginning. He had also crawled in and out of hell to get to his powerful version of his current self.
Shen Jueyang smiled slightly, "More than enough to know that the heavens weren’t actually the real enemy."
After sensing the changes in Shen Jueyang’s demeanor, Wu Yao stopped asking questions and just enjoyed the silence in the area and the spiritual tea his good disciple had gifted to him. The two men spend their time in silence while enjoying the scenery from the mountain peak.

Meanwhile somewhere in the forbidden area...
The Fairy Queen who had just successfully escaped from the clutches of the mad Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju, had to enter a forbidden area at the outskirts of the Core Region just to hide from other people. Ever since she had escaped from the Immortal Star Empire, the wanted royal decree from the Star Emperor himself, had made Titania Ambrosia, become a dog that nobody wants and everyone wants to kill or capture. She is no longer the beautiful woman that she is proud of. Her arrogance made her think that this world should bow to her. That all men should fall for her charms and that everything in this world was supposed to become hers. She had happily schemed through into his world thinking that this was her chance to rule over it and looked down on everything she didn’t want.
However, despite that there are still beings in this world that never bend for her sake. There is a man she fell in love with but never once opened his heart for him. She tried everything to gain his heart, his love and his recognition but never had this man turned his way. This is the Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju. There is a woman who was too beautiful, possessed more exquisite features than herself but lonelier than anyone else. She thought that the man she had fallen in love with never cared for her. However, she is stupid. She didn’t know how to use her gorgeous face at all, so Titania tried her best to destroy her completely. This is the Moon Empress, Yue Xuehua. Then finally the Immortal Sun Emperor. The man who had never looked at her properly at all and treated him no different from a stone at the roadside. If not for the fact that she had come with the Immortal Star Emperor, this man would have treated him no different from an air. A man that was never moved by her charms which annoyed her the most so she had helped Xing Xieju to kill him.
Just when she thought that everyone would revolve around her after the last two people were gone, the man she had fallen in love with no longer held back his disdain towards her. She had only killed the woman who tried to take him away from him, and the Moon Empress never loved him at all. She had only taunted that woman for a bit and never had expected that she was that courageous to self destruct just to escape from them. Every change had begun after the death of the Empress of the Moon and the Fairy Queen had felt even more than anyone in this world.
It was for this reason alone, that the Fairy Queen hated this woman. She envies the Goddess of the Moon. She has both beauty and family background, why would she attach herself to one man. This was something she would never have. Something that she wanted the most but never fated to gain. In this world, which is considered a new beginning, Titania Ambrosia did everything to get what she wanted and destroyed a lot of things in the process but isn’t that normal?
Haggard and covered in blood, Titania Ambrosia now looked no different from a beggar you can find at the side road. The face she was so proud of was now half burned due to the self destruction she had forced on her people and almost died on that throne hall. However, she doesn’t regret it. If she hadn’t done that, the Immortal Star Emperor would never let her go.
The Fairy Queen grips her fingers on the ground under her. Ignoring her broken nails and bleeding on her hands, with her ruined face covered in blood, she glares at the heavens.
"This is not over! Immortal Star Emperor! Moon Empress! Immortal Sun Emperor. I will definitely take my revenge in the future!"
