The Immortal Sun Emperor was stunned to meet Yue Xuehua. After all, he had learned from Yue Xuexia that this soul fragment of hers had been sacrificed when she had broken through her realm which is her original realm that is equal to what her soul strength possessed. That’s why he had believed that this woman was gone like others. So when she suddenly woke up in Yue Xuexia’s body, Shen Jueyang’s first instinct was that something happened to Yue Xuexia for this woman to take over. Even though their relationship had been cut after the reincarnation, what he can feel for Yue Xuexia is completely different upon seeing Yue Xuehua.

At the very least, in the eyes of the Immortal Sun Emperor, his trust towards Yue Xuexia is greater than Yue Xuehua.

Frowning and on guard, Shen Jueyang asked, "How is it you? Didn’t Xue’er say that you had been sacrificed for her promotion in her realm?"

Ignoring the expression on the Immortal Sun Emperor, Yue Xuehua sat up on the bed and looked at th black sky beyond the window. Tonight, there are more stars than usual and even the moon was a full moon.

"I had indeed sacrificed myself for Xia. That’s why when I woke up again in Xia’s soul domain I was dumbfounded."

A rare serene smile appeared at the corner of her lips, unlike Yue Xuexia’s rare small smile which is pure, this one felt mixed with tiredness yet gladness. A smile of someone who had lived a lifetime and experienced suffering only she can understand. A sense of relief appeared on Yue Xuehua’s face as if she had finally moved on from the past she used to be unable to let go.

The Immortal Sun Emperor if he had once seen this woman smile in their past life, he might have understood the reason behind such a weary smile. Unfortunately, he was never meant to have any kind of such connection with Yue Xuehua. Not in the past and never in the future. In this lifetime, Sen Jueyang had vowed to only love one woman and this woman is none other than Yue Xuexia and no one else. Even if they are her soul fragments. Yue Xuehua is like Shen Taiyang. She is a part of Yue Xuexia yet exists independently, a person herself.

Yue Xuehua said, "You know Xia’s personality. Even if others deemed it impossible as long as she believed that it was possible she would never give up. Before she completed her tribulation, she had prevented a wisp of my soul. A very wisp that would have disappeared once a breeze had flown towards it. She protected that wisp with everything she can even if her soul becomes stable, she never cared."

"Xia is unlike me who can only wield the moon element. My soul is just a part of her and my talents come from her as well. In the future, I can no longer call myself the Goddess of the Moon and would most likely share control of one of her other bloodlines. She had allowed me to pick among her bloodlines. I am never fond of fighting so I will never choose the bloodline of the lightning god. I have asked her to share with me her Ancient High Elf Bloodline. In the future I will most likely be called the Moon Elven Goddess."

"That’s why you would never mistake me for her."

Shen Jueyang said, "I will no longer mistake you for Xue’er. Never again in this life."

This statement was like an oath that the Immortal Sun Emperor had vowed to himself and the heaven itself. Upon hearing this Yue Xuehua once again smiled but had never once looked at Shen Jueyang as she was no longer interested in him as a man or as a person.

Yue Xuehua said, "That’s great then. I have also moved on from you. Maybe from the beginning, you and I were never meant to be together. After all, you have never looked at me as closely as you do with Xia."

"...I’m sorry," said Shen Jueyang.

Yue Xuehua smiled, "No worries. I only wake up to inform you about something. Xia’s words about our existence not being complete is correct. In reality, the real us upon our fall to this world had been split into three. I represent the past, Xia who represents the present and the last one who presented the future. We are one yet possessed independent personalities. In the future we will meet those who represent the future and what will happen at that time is unknown."

"Actually, your situation is similar to ours. You also represent the present of your original self and the one who had brought you and Xia back to life might have some connections with you as well. I am not sure. What I am sure of is that you are incomplete yourself. Why else would you get yourself killed in our past life?"

"Anyway, I have given you a warning. Be careful and protect her with your life as you have promised. Anyway if you die... You can come back once more to life. You are someone whose future hasn’t awakened yet."

Yue Xuehua laid back on the bed and once again closed her eyes. Her words had just given more mystery to the existence of both his and Yue Xuexia’s existence. But Yue Xuehua speaks in riddles and even her memories seem to be incomplete. But what confused Shen Jueyang is that he also didn’t have anything to point out to himself in the past. What happened to his past self that even he the present cannot recall anything. In reality, he understood his past self. His personality had always been like this.

If he can live as himself, why care about the past and the future?

Maybe it was this mindset that made him lose his connection to his past version. The Immortal Sun Emperor while thinking of this carefully tucked Yue Xuexia properly under the blanket. His eyes turned unexpectedly full of tenderness while staring at the woman he loves. He gently moves away the strand of stray hair misplaced near Yue Xuexia’s place and moves it carefully to tuck behind her ear.

Suddenly, the voice of the nosy master of Yue Xuexia rang in Shen Jueyang’s head.

[Brat! Half an hour is already up. Come back here now!] This is the voice of Wu Yao using divine consciousness to speak with Shen Jueyang from a distance.

Upon hearing this voice, the Immortal Sun Emperor can only sigh. He knew that he could not stay for too long in this room and tapped at the necklace of Yue Xuexia which possessed a part of his soul, the Sun God’s soul fragment.

He whispered, "Protect her while I’m away. Always."

{Leave it to me.} The Sun God responded.

Only then did Shen Jueyang leave the room to meet the two old men nagging him to return. Though he had a lot of questions about what Yue Xuehua had told him, now is not the time to think about it. The problem with the Blood Sea must be resolved first before thinking of the others. There is also the Wu Clan. There is no way they would give up on the little Tree of Knowledge and the legacy of the late Divine Doctor. To them as long as they increase their knowledge about alchemy everything can be done. Why else would they attack the Pill Tower if not for that desire.

Wu Yao and Wu Zhou move to the living where the puppets served some tea for three people. The brothers were waiting for the Immortal Sun Emperor to join them. Shen Jueyang knew they had changed location and headed to the living room and sat together with the two elders.

Wu Zhou served him some tea and said, "You are back. How much do you know about the Blood Sea Territory and the tribe that lives there? Actually, my brother and I don’t know much about them other than what the public knows. That place is so eerie that no one would venture to that place."

"Rumors says that everyone who had gone there had either transformed into a blood sea tribe member or come out as a bloodthirsty murderer who seeks death and blood," Wu Yao said.

The Immortal Sun Emperor thanked Wu Zhou for tea and said, "Master, is actually right?"

Clang!

This is the sound of the tea cup hitting the table. Wu Yao glared at Shen Jueyang and said, "Who the hell is your master!?"

"You are Xue’er’s master and because of that I will call you master as well. Isn’t that right?" Shen Jueyang said with a teasing yet taunting smirk on his face.

Wu Yao almost jumped on him and gave him a first of rain only to be stopped by Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou said, "Brother, calm down. Business first. Okay?"

Hmp!

It took a lot of effort for Wu Zhou to coax his elder brother and even stopped the Immortal Sun Emperor from egging the protective old man before they could continue their conversation about the Blood Sea.
