Chapter 786 - 248: I Just Enjoy the Company of Women; It’s Not a Must (10,000 Words, Please Subscribe)_4
The historical records must deviate from the truth somewhat...
After all, when Xiao Li’s disguise was first discovered, only Mr. Tian realized it. It was only later that they decided to play along with the deception.
The rest of the soldiers and officers were none the wiser.
However, the more the Moon God listened, the more she felt that this person must be a descendant of the Regent King. Otherwise, how could he be so knowledgeable about the Regent King’s affairs?
Of course, the fact that he dares to tell this story suggests... the Regent King probably thought the Li Dynasty had already vanished into the mists of time, right?
That would explain why he told the story of those years to his son, passing it down through the generations.
"Hmph, who would have thought that Mother, back then, could lead the Imperial Court and the entire nation to ascend to the Upper Realm, carving out an entirely new Universal True World..."
Although she said that, the Moon God was actually quite delighted to hear it.
After all, when listening, she automatically replaced the Imperial Princess with Mother.
And to learn some stories from Mother’s youth, stories that Mother would never tell her herself.
As for whether it’s true or not, she didn’t care...
Not to mention, sometimes as she listened, it all felt so sweet.
Especially when she heard the line: ’This Imperial Self issues the command, permitting Sir to transgress your station, just this once.’
Thinking about it made the Moon God’s cheeks burn. If these details truly belonged to Mother’s past, then Mother had been incredibly bold!
It seemed whatever she thought of would come to pass.
[Mother: You haven’t been in the Moon Palace recently, have you? You didn’t sneak out again, did you? Did you go to the Lower Realm?]
Ah, Mother has noticed.
[Moon God: There were some issues with the mortal realm’s marriages, Mother. As the Immortal official in charge of marriages, I ought to inspect them myself. Don’t worry, Mother, I strictly adhere to the order of the Lower Realm! I definitely did not do anything out of line!]
[Mother: Hmph! I think you just snuck down to have fun, didn’t you? Inspecting is fine, but if Mother finds out you went to play in secret and dared to lie to me, do you know what the consequences would be?]
[Moon God: I know, I know!]
The Moon God pouted. You’re also lying to me, aren’t you? This Wang Mu fellow is a descendant of the Regent King, isn’t he? And you’re deliberately hiding it from me?
Of course, this was a private matter of Mother’s, so it was only right for her to keep it from me...
The descendant of an old lover... Mother must have been filled with emotion upon discovering this, no?
[Mother: Going to the Lower Realm is permissible, but you are not to provoke any cultivators there. Remember your identity, especially that little cultivator from last time; don’t be reckless.]
[Moon God: Which one? Oh, whichever one you’re talking about, I’ve long since forgotten. Don’t worry, I won’t bother with a little cultivator.]
[Mother: It’s not just him. You must not act recklessly with any cultivator from the Lower Realm, and certainly don’t get involved in any despised immortal-mortal romance. Or else, I will shatter your Immortal Bones myself.]
Hearing Mother’s stern words, and then considering the details Wang Mu had shared about the past, the Moon God felt a subtle sensation.
In front of her and countless Immortal officials and subjects, Mother was strict.
But what was she like in front of the Regent King?
The Moon God shook her head, not daring to think too much.
As for some immortal-mortal romance? Isn’t that a joke? How could I, the exalted Moon God of the Upper Realm, ever fancy someone from the Lower Realm?
The Moon God nodded in agreement and promptly sent a demurely obedient emoji, ending the conversation with Mother.
Chatting with Wang Mu was more interesting...
[Wang Mu: By the way, has that woman I mentioned come to look for you?]
[Moon God: No... oh wait, she seems to have arrived. Hey hey, isn’t this the red thread that’s been wrapped around you? What’s the matter, you want me to look after her for a bit?]
[Wang Mu: No, she’s taken refuge with the guy pretending to be Dongfang Mu. She’s a spy he sent.]
[Moon God: ? Well, this is interesting, isn’t it? This fellow is quite cunning, sending a spy? Aren’t you infiltrating their side as a spy right now? You’re truly worthy adversaries!]
[Wang Mu: No, the plan was my idea.]
[Moon God: ...]
The Moon God thought for a moment and felt a headache coming on. She stopped thinking about it.
This trip to the Lower Realm was truly worth it.
[Wang Mu: Just keep her by your side and don’t let her go anywhere. As for anything she says, send it to me; I’ll tell you how to respond. Also, are you sure that Immortal Official Qian Mo is within the Ruoshui Pond of the Qianzhou Tianshui Sect?]
[Moon God: That’s what the Marriage ball shows.]
[Wang Mu: And his descendant?]
[Moon God: I don’t know who the descendant is, how should I figure that out? This is a Marriage ball; it can only locate specific life forms. If I don’t know who they are, how do you expect me to find them? Immortal Official Qian Mo, at least, is someone I’m quite familiar with...]
[Wang Mu: Alright then, find a time to meet him. I suspect he’s at the Tianshui Sect’s Ruoshui Pond because he wants to catch that Immortal Spirit Fish. According to Mr. Lee’s information, this Qian Mo has descendants in the Lower Realm. He wants to come to the Lower Realm to help his descendants enter the Immortal Sect, cleanse their Karma, and pass their tribulation to achieve Ascension. That Immortal Spirit Fish allows one to bypass the tribulation and directly ascend, which perfectly suits his needs.]
[Moon God: Makes sense. Immortal Spirit Fish are extremely rare even in the Upper Realm; very few Immortals can catch them. It’s truly strange that there’s an Immortal Spirit Fish in this place. It likely swam from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm during some cosmic upheaval when this world’s rules were unstable...]
[Moon God: It looks like she has arrived!]
The Moon God stood up, looking toward a fairy who floated ethereally in the distance, arriving on a moon-shaped blade.
Truly a peerless beauty.
As the Upper Realm Moon Immortal, I’m second to none...
Yet the Moon God felt a hint of threat.
He truly has great luck with beauties.
