"Beiming Heavenly Phoenix?"
Ling Xiaoyue glanced at Fang Zhou, half-smiling and half-serious: "Could it be that little girl surnamed Ming from Piaomiao Mountain?"
Fang Zhou was startled: "How do you know this?"
He thought someone had told Ling Xiaoyue, but Ling Xiaoyue crossed her arms and huffed: "Are you underestimating your master's keen eye? I figured out long ago that she wasn't an ordinary person; she's the reincarnation of that molting chicken."
Fang Zhou hurriedly reminded her: "Don't change the subject. That Beiming Heavenly Phoenix said I'm a Moon Palace Disciple and you're the Master of the Moon Palace. What is going on here?"
Ling Xiaoyue, always concerned about her reputation, neither admitted nor denied, but impatiently waved him off: "That has nothing to do with you, why ask so much? If that chicken dares to bother you again, just come find your master, and I'll pluck all its feathers."
Once she showed this impatient tone, it meant she didn't want to discuss the topic any further.
But Fang Zhou wasn't willing to let the matter go so easily; however, it seemed using money as temptation wouldn't work much now.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly gestured to summon the Heavenly Repair Stone hidden in the gourd space.
Ling Xiaoyue was originally planning to find Ya Zi, but her attention was instantly captivated by the Heavenly Repair Stone flying in, her eyes wide open as she exclaimed.
"Heavenly Repair Stone?"
As the stone fell into Fang Zhou's hands, Ling Xiaoyue darted over, just like a husky smelling a bone, reaching out to snatch it.
Unfortunately, this place was inside the gourd space, and Ling Xiaoyue had no advantage here beyond being uncontrolled.
The Heavenly Repair Stone disappeared from Fang Zhou's hand, sent elsewhere by him.
Ling Xiaoyue missed her mark, then grabbed Fang Zhou's collar, extremely excitedly: "Where's the stone, quickly give it to me!!"
Seeing Ling Xiaoyue's anxious expression, Fang Zhou knew there was room to negotiate.
He chuckled; "That has nothing to do with you, why ask so much?"
Ling Xiaoyue's expression darkened, jumping angrily: "You brat, are you deliberately trying to anger your master? Quickly take out the stone, it's of no benefit to you and only brings trouble."
Fang Zhou's heart skipped a beat; initially, Beiming Heavenly Phoenix had said the same thing to him.
But whether it's beneficial or not, Fang Zhou knew very well. Without the Heavenly Repair Stone, he'd still be trapped in a time loop with Aya and Ming Aoshuang.
No matter how much Ling Xiaoyue jumped in frustration, Fang Zhou remained silent.
After jumping around, Ling Xiaoyue ran out of steam, realizing this cheeky disciple couldn't be coerced now.
"Ask whatever you want."
Ling Xiaoyue sat down on the ground, speaking with irritation.
Fang Zhou also sat down beside her, curiously asking: "How many years have you actually lived?"
Ling Xiaoyue suddenly lunged, pinching Fang Zhou's cheeks, bringing her face close with a terrifying stare: "Your master is seventeen years old now. If you dare ask about age again, I'll clean house, hear me?"
Fang Zhou was somewhat frightened, nodding repeatedly: "No problem, you'll eternally be seventeen, eternally youthful and beautiful, I've noted it."
Ling Xiaoyue finally released Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou rubbed his cheeks, then asked: "That bird said you're the Master of the Moon Palace, what's the situation?"
He did not mention he saw it in Ling Xiaoyue's memories, fearing she'd trouble him.
No one likes their memories being seen.
Ling Xiaoyue lay back, slowly reaching her hand towards the sky as if caressing the moon above.
Though in this gourd space, there was no moon.
"That molting chicken didn't lie, your master is indeed the Master of the Moon Palace, but not Chang'e; there's no Wu Gang on the moon either."
Fang Zhou also lay back, but upon hearing her words, he jolted upright: "You remember Chang'e and Wu Gang?"
"What Chang'e and Wu Gang..."
Ling Xiaoyue stopped midway, her eyes deep like black pools, before continuing: "Your master doesn't remember, but strange names and things often come to mind spontaneously. If it weren't for your reminder today, I wouldn't have noticed."
Fang Zhou lay back again: "Seems like your condition is serious."
Ling Xiaoyue's raised hand immediately swung downward, punching Fang Zhou, then she said: "Disciple, you don't know how lucky you are; the entire moon is my personal property."
Fang Zhou was taken aback: "That amazing?"
Although he'd seen it in memories, hearing Ling Xiaoyue admit it personally was surprisingly stunning.
This unreliable rogue of a woman truly was the Master of the Moon Palace.
No less a divine title in the Immortal World frequently appearing in Cultivation World legends, holding a lofty status.
"Yes, indeed that amazing."
Ling Xiaoyue pinched Fang Zhou's cheek, turning him: "So you better treat your master better and give her more money, and when we return to the moon, I'll carve out a plot for you to grow vegetables."
Fang Zhou quipped with a peculiar expression: "Me, the Master of the Moon Palace, wired money?"
Ling Xiaoyue obviously caught the humor, bursting into laughter and rolling on the ground.
Many beautiful women look less graceful with exaggerated expressions.
But Ling Xiaoyue had no such concern; no matter her expression, her perfect beauty remained unmarred unless she purposefully squashed her features.
Once Ling Xiaoyue finished laughing, Fang Zhou continued asking: "So, when did you become the Master of the Moon Palace? And how did you end up like this?"
"That's a long story."
"Then make a long story short."
Ling Xiaoyue annoyedly punched Fang Zhou before continuing: "I'll tell you a story, a story from the Cultivation World about seven thousand years ago."
As she spoke, she gazed emptily at the sky, seemingly lost in distant memories.
Fang Zhou knew this might be an exceptionally long story, so he remained silent, quietly listening.
"Over seven thousand years ago, men and women's statuses were still normal; men could cultivate like anyone else. A young girl started out, but with unprecedented talent and a little help from cheats, she quickly punched through the Cultivation World, kicked to Major Sect, and ascended successfully at a young age, becoming a celestial exemplar."
"She thrived in the Immortal World as well, defeating many adversaries, eventually becoming the Master of the Moon Palace, one of the celestial deities, a model for all the gods to follow."
"But before she could enjoy thousands of years, heaven and earth changed, stars dimmed, and the world faced an unprecedented crisis, forcing the Master of the Moon Palace to reincarnate."
Ling Xiaoyue stopped here and turned to look at Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou was dumbfounded: "That's it?"
He'd prepared to listen for days, only for Ling Xiaoyue to settle it in a few sentences.
Ling Xiaoyue retorted irritably: "What else? You expected days and nights, what do you think this is, storytelling?"
"Damn, that's a summary escape, shamelessly abrupt!"
