"So you guys didn't come to capture me? You're scaring me to death." After chatting for a while, Mingyue already found out Lin Feng and the others' purpose in coming here. She couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Miss Mingyue, are you really that demon?" Until now, Lu Hu still didn't dare to believe it.
"Yes, I'm sorry I lied to you." Now that her secret had been discovered, Brightmoon felt rather embarrassed.
"No, no, no. I didn't mean to blame you. I just didn't expect you to be not human." Lu Hu quickly explained with a wave of his hand when he saw Mingyue's pitiful self-reproach.
"Thank you. Actually, the reason why I look like a human is because I like you guys very much," Mingyue revealed a sweet smile, "Your clothes, food, customs, and even appearances, I like them very much!"
These words and that smile melted Lu Hu's heart. He didn't say anything and just stared at Miss Mingyue without blinking once.
It seemed that Lu Hu had never thought of talking to Miss Mingyue at such a close distance one day.
"From your tone, are you not planning to go back?"
"That's right, my appearance is too ugly and I'm an orphan. The Fey world is always trying to push me away," Mingyue's expression became lonely as she spoke of this, "I simply can't sense the meaning of existence anywhere!"
"Puff —!"
These words made Lin Feng and Lu Hu spit out the water in their mouths at the same time.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys," Yue Ruqing's expression was the same as usual. She looked at Lin Lu and Qing Shui's condition, then pointed at Mingyue and explained, "The Fey race's aesthetic standards are very different from humans. People like her are indeed ugly."
Someone like Brightmoon was actually considered ugly? Lin Feng didn't dare to imagine what the Fey people looked like.
"Miss Mingyue, if anyone dares to say you're ugly in the future, I'll be the first to not let him off!" Lu Hu had an indignant look on his face, "Also, you can stay with us from now on. There won't be a problem."
Mingyue's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lu Hu and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
"Hey, don't be so polite. From now on, your business is my business. If you have any problems, come and find me first." Lu Hu scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Don't try to get close to me, do you have any control over this sort of thing?
"What do you mean, 'it's none of my business'? As a member of the human race, Miss Mingyue likes us. Can't we just let her stay here?" Lu Hu said righteously, "At least it means that we are outstanding."
"Hehe, it won't be too late for you to say these words when the person in charge of the realm whose strength is three realms above yours has arrived before you." Yue Ruqing directly splashed a bucket of cold water on Lu Hu's head.
Hearing that the person in charge of this realm was actually an almighty in True Essence Stage, Lu Hu was cowardly and did not know what to say for a moment.
"If you are discovered, I will cooperate with the person in charge of the world and take care of you. I will absolutely not implicate you." At this moment, Mingyue opened her mouth and spoke with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
Presumably, with her ability, she wouldn't even have the strength to resist the person in charge of the Realm of the Gods.
"Miss Mingyue, when the time comes, we'll definitely plead for you to stay here." Lu Hu guaranteed in time. This was also the only thing that he could do for Mingyue.
After all, not just anyone would be able to shake an almighty individual like an expert in the True Essence Stage.
"I really didn't expect Miss Mingyue to have such a tragic background." Lu Hu was still reluctant to part with Brightmoon even after he returned to his residence.
"What do you know to be so compassionate? I think it's because you were seduced by her beauty!" Yue Ruqing snapped at Lu Hu, "What others say is what they say? How can you be sure that the little demoness is speaking the truth? "
"I …"
Lu Hu still wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start. The situation was indeed as Yue Ruqing said, a large part of his heart was filled with love for Mingyue.
"How long has it been since the little demoness came here?" Shaking her head, Yue Ruqing suddenly asked about something else.
Lu Hu thought about it for a while, "About half a year. At least, half a year has passed since she started burning in the Cloud Prefecture. Before that, I am not sure."
"Un, let's say half a year." Yue Ruqing nodded. "It should be less than two months before the people in the world find her."1
"Moon Goddess, who exactly is this person from the Palm Realm that you spoke of?" Hearing Yue Ruqing mention this person again and again, Lin Feng finally couldn't help but ask.
That's right, with your current strength, you are still unable to come into contact with people from the Master Realm, "Yue Ruqing sarcastically said before continuing," The Master Realm is the person in charge of maintaining the order in the mortal world.
"Then according to what you said, why didn't he personally deal with the disaster that happened in the Nannu Mountain Range?" There was also a hint of complaint in Lin Feng's tone.
If a supreme expert of True Essence Stage were to appear, then he wouldn't need to work so hard.
"Listen up, this is an order that affects the human world. This kind of disaster should be a natural disaster, okay? There isn't anything that doesn't belong in the human world involved, so of course the person in charge of the world wouldn't appear." Yue Ruqing explained in more detail to Lin Feng.
"And what if that disaster destroys the human world?"
"Only destruction can create such a thing. This has always been a natural cycle, and it was created by humans themselves. Why would the people from the world in charge appear?" Yue Ruqing's tone was casual, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Yue Ruqing's words were decisive and made Lin Feng a little unconvinced. "Why do you say that? Don't tell me that the person in charge is a human and doesn't have any compassion?"
"Haha …"
Yue Ruqing burst out laughing when she heard this. After a while, she forced a smile and mocked Lin Feng, "You must be joking. The first thing you need to do to become a master is to sever all emotions, not to mention pity."
"So you're saying..."
After Yue Ruqing finished her sentence, Lu Hu suddenly looked like he wanted to interrupt her. However, Yue Ruqing seemed to know what Lu Hu wanted to say and directly interrupted him.
"That's right, that plan of yours to plead on behalf of this little demoness is definitely not possible. In front of the people from the world that are in control of the world, only routine matters will be carried out. Anyone that blocks this little demoness from handling matters will be destroyed along with it!"
Lu Hu shuddered just thinking about it.
With the strength of True Essence Stage there, even if you can't accept it, there's no other way, unless you can fight against him. Thinking of this, Lu Hu lowered his head in frustration.
Lin Feng was also very unwilling to accept this. Of course, he wasn't paying attention to Miss Mingyue, but rather, he was worried about the Nannu Mountain Range.
