Chapter 520: Is Someone Chasing You Again?

Lin Yuan had fallen into a deep sleep. However, he dreamed a long, long dream as he slept.

In his dream, Lin Yuan was gazing upon a world like a bystander.

That world had originally been full of life, with unknown small flowers blossoming in the wilderness.

However, at that moment, two rainbows radiating light in seven colors suddenly appeared in the sky.

These two rainbows fought to invade the deep blue sky, neither willing to give way to the other.

The rainbow light appeared gentle, but it was actually unusually untamed.

As the light spread all over the earth, the earth cracked while the unknown flowers blooming on it withered.

At that moment, a figure suddenly descended from one of the rainbows.

This figure was a girl with closed eyes and a body like a phantom’s.

The girl wore a crown and a long skirt. She carried herself with a kind of inherent nobility.

In the instant that she descended from the rainbow, she seemed to almost invade the entire world as though she was about to become its master.

Just then, a sword without a scabbard fell directly from the other rainbow.

The sword’s hilt was gorgeous, carved with various animal totems. Its slender body contained a sharpness that was enough to slice through anything.

The sharp sword launched an assault on the crown-wearing girl.

The two were locked tightly in a stalemate.

It was precisely this stalemate that made the rainbow light even more unscrupulous. The world that had already fallen apart was about to collapse completely.

In that instant, the entire world was suddenly shrouded in a reddish-gold brilliance that felt unusually familiar and warm to Lin Yuan, who had been watching everything.

As the reddish-gold brilliance descended, the girl and the sword that were locked in a stalemate became unusually fearful.

This brilliance appeared to be imposing its will on the crown-wearing girl and the sword without a scabbard.

In the end, the girl reluctantly walked toward the sword.

She opened her arms and hugged it.

At that moment, the two became one. From two single entities, they combined to become a new whole.

The world was on the verge of collapse when the crown-wearing girl curled her legs up as her skirt fluttered in mid-air.

She was holding the sword with an unusually gorgeous hilt tightly in her arms.

At that moment, the sword’s ornate carvings seemed to hold the girl’s power.

With this power added, its desire grew exceedingly great!

Just then, the two initially feuding rainbows also fused into one.

The previously unruly rainbow light also became beautiful and gentle, spreading all over the earth again.

This time, the light did not destroy the world on the verge of coming apart but melted perfectly into it.

After the rainbow light completely melted into it, the girl hugging the sword surrendered to the broken world and became a part of it.

In other words, she became like a guardian, protecting this world that was on the brink of collapse.

Like a bystander, Lin Yuan had witnessed everything that had happened.

At that moment, he seemed to suddenly smell the aroma of radishes. Immediately after, the dry, fragmented land of the world on the verge of collapse was covered with endless fields of radishes.

These radishes grew, flowered, bore fruit, grew old, and rotted.

In this way, crop after crop of radishes continued to provide energy for this world on the verge of breaking apart.

Slowly, the broken soil became fertile, and unknown wildflowers bloomed all over the land again.

This world’s savior, the radishes that had healed the world on the verge of collapse, had disappeared.

Yet, the fragrance of radishes still permeated the air.

Lin Yuan witnessed this strange scene in his dream.

...

“Moon Empress, you don’t have to beat so much jujube, do you?

“Even if you’re right about the Young Lord waking soon, he will also not be able to finish so much jujube!”

Cold Moon looked at the Moon Empress as she continuously removed the pits from the Diamond Smooth Crystal-Thread Jujubes that she had picked from the inner palace jujube garden.

Then, she used a pestle completely made of jade-textured osmanthus wood to continuously pound the jujubes.

Cold Moon thought that this was all far too exaggerated.

The Moon Empress might have picked all of the Diamond Smooth Crystal-Thread Jujubes on the only three jujube trees that grew them in Leaning Moon Mountain’s jujube garden.

Cold Moon had long been aware that the Moon Empress was unusually doting toward Lin Yuan.

However, the extent of her doting seemed to be a bit better than before.

Ordinarily, after the lotus flower feys in the lotus pond had reached the Suzerain grade, the light that they spurted forth could envelop the inner palace entirely.

However, it now only shrouded a five-meter radius surrounding the lotus pond.

Who knew how many lotus roots the Moon Empress had cut from the Suzerain lotus flower feys in the pond?

The Moon Empress peeled the jujubes in her hand somewhat anxiously. Hearing that Cold Moon still had time to speak, she said quickly, “Cold Moon, help This Empress to pound these jujubes. This Empress’ disciple suffered serious injuries to his hands when he came out of the dimensional rift. What will happen to him if he doesn’t take supplements?

“This Empress plans to make this jujube paste into jujube powder. Even if This Empress’ disciple takes it every day, it should be enough to last three months.”

Cold Moon could not help cupping her forehead in her hand. She had only left Radiant Moon Palace for a short while. Why did the Moon Empress seem like a completely different person?

If the Young Lord were to take the jujube powder every day, he would likely become a humanoid blood-dripping cart that could water all of the plants on Leaning Moon Mountain with his nosebleeds.

Moreover, hadn’t the Moon Empress already let the Young Lord eat half of the Rabbit Emperor’s sacred source lifeform?

Even if he were a Smooth Crystal-Thread Jujube that was made into a paste, then powder, the Young Lord would still not be as healthy as he was right then!

With that thought in mind, Cold Moon glanced surreptitiously at the front of the small flowerpot containing crystal soil.

The listless Rabbit Emperor was currently using its ear to plant its carrot in the crystal soil.

To Cold Moon, the Moon Empress doted on the Young Lord to a truly terrifying degree!

Nevertheless, once she thought about the gains that she had made at Redbud City after leaving the Radiant Moon Palace, Cold Moon could not help but smile faintly.

Upon seeing Cold Moon’s smile, the Moon Empress immediately stopped pounding on the Smooth Crystal-Thread Jujubes. Looking at her with suspicion, the Moon Empress asked, “After ten years, are people still chasing you?”

She had suddenly recalled how Marquis Jing Shi had directly expressed his love and publicly shown his fondness for Cold Moon...

...only to have Cold Moon break both of his legs, to the point that he was confined to a wheelchair for ten years.

Although Marquis Jing Shi had indeed gone overboard in the expression of his love, Cold Moon’s methods were truly unladylike.

Upon hearing the Moon Empress’ words, Cold Moon froze immediately.

Right after, Cold Moon knew that the Moon Empress had misunderstood her.

She cast a glance toward the room within the inner palace and said, “Moon Empress, the Young Lord’s sister, Chu Ci, is now already my disciple.”
