Chapter 7 - -7-

Lord Li Qian Long looked at the sky tonight, and the pink moon appeared so beautifully. A pair of phoenixes flew around the pink moon, peach petals falling like snow while on the ground.

Again, Lord Li Qian Long seemed to be silent, and his jaw clenched with all the familiar rumbling in his chest. The day he didn't want to hope to come, but this day had come so real.

"Isn't brooding over unnecessary things not you at all, Lord Li?" said Li Zheng Xi, who was already standing beside Lord Li Qian Long. He already tied his hands behind his back, then looked at what Lord Li Qian Long had seen, and then he smiled crookedly. "A very beautiful sight, shouldn't we be happy instead of being sad? It is destiny's record if the moon appears in pink, and a pair of pheonixes appear and dance in the sky it is a sign when a Crown Prince or King has united with his destiny. Does that mean His Highness the Crown Prince has found his destiny? If so, wouldn't that be very happy news for the palace? Because one of the requirements to become a Crown Prince is a royal marriage."

Lord Li Qian Long was still silent, and he didn't say anything other than still looking at the pink moon, then he took another deep breath.

"There are times when beauty doesn't need to appear excessively, so that eventually the pain won't be too deep." After saying that, Lord Li Qian Long turned his stance, now he was standing directly facing Li Zheng Xi. "Obedience does not mean being humiliated, and obedient is not something that makes people act lowly," he continued. Patted Li Zheng Xi on the shoulder then left.

Li Zheng Xi was still standing there, and then he seemed to smile bitterly. His eyes lit up at the words of Lord Li Qian Long, then he smirked again. Tilted his face as he watched Lord Li Qian Long leave.

On the other hand, Xie Liao Xuan let go of his nod, his eyes still fixed on Angier. It was as if he wanted to lock up Angier and didn't want to let her go.

Angier, who was looked at like that, felt embarrassed. She almost turned her face away but was restrained by Xie Liao Xuan.

"I… I—"

"I want to introduce you to the King," he whispered.

Anqier's eyes immediately widened. She didn't expect that her brief encounter with Xie Liao Xuan would turn out like this. Even a relationship that they had just entered into, a relationship that even Angier hadn't convinced yet. But Xie Liao Xuan had already said such a thing.

"I… I, I'm half human. His Majesty will definitely be able to recognize me easily," Angier finally said. "At that time, Mother accidentally came down to earth because of a mistake. Then she met my father until they finally gave birth to me. I was born and raised on earth, but my body is like no other. Until finally a god brought me here, because he said that my body is more suitable if it is in the palace of the sky. That's why I came here to see Mother. The Crown Prince... I... my grades here are the lowest Goddess, because I am not a pure Goddess from heaven. Then how can you be sure to introduce me to His Majesty?" Anqier's eyes felt hot, and she didn't expect it if her love for Xie Liao Xuan, who had just blossomed, had to wither prematurely. She didn't know what to do now.

"The legend of the sky has been written very clearly. If there is a pair of phoenixes dancing when the pink moon appears, it means that the Crown Prince has found his destiny. Moreover, you have already obtained half of my essence, then what else makes you hesitate?"

Angier fell silent again, her eyes looking towards Xie Liao Xuan's as if she wanted to find something there. But what she got was a look full of seriousness, honesty, and burning determination. Angier then nodded weakly, and Angier lowered her head deeply. She has made Xie Liao Xuan look up again and kissed his lips.

"We'll talk about this at my residence," Xie Liao Xuan decided, grabbed Anqier's hand and then went as fast as lightning to her residence.

On the other hand, a pair of eyes caught the figure of Xie Liao Xuan being with a woman. That figure was standing right beside Xie Liao Xuan's room. He smiled, looking at the silhouette that was in there. A pair of men and women stood opposite each other, and then the two seemed to make out. After that, one of them sat down. The sheets of clothes they were wearing seemed to be stripped off one by one until the two clearly showed their love union.

Again, the figure seemed to be smiling, and he was still standing while tying his hands behind his back. What was he doing now that he saw this? He never thought that Xie Liao Xuan would be nothing more than a man who was just like everyone else. Deceiving the ladies-in-waiting, or the Goddess, what he saw violated the laws of the heavens. Because after all, between the figure that Xie Liao Xuan brought and that woman, there was not yet a marriage bond.

The figure smiled again. This was a very good thing. What would happen if the King found out about his son's treatment? It will be very angry.

"How, Prince Xie Ming Zhen, isn't this a very good thing for you? Why are you still here? If you tell this to His Majesty the King, you can very easily shift his position as a Crown Prince."

Prince Xie Ming Zhen was still staring straight at the scene, without turning his head to the person who spoke to him. However, the smile tugged very clearly at the corners of his lips. It was as if he had already obtained an ace card to ascend the throne to become a Crown Prince.

"Don't be too hasty. Let them first enjoy the union of their pleasures. After this, I will definitely make Xie Liao Xuan not only abdicate, but receive a punishment that she could not have imagined before."

The figure smiled, looking at Xie Ming Zhen's face, which was currently full of vengeance, and burning determination. Then, an idea flashed through his mind very vividly.

"That woman inside isn't unworthy to feel the pleasures of a person of great celestial descent? Instead of you being busy dropping one, wouldn't it be better if you dropped both of them at once?" said the figure, which managed to make Xie Ming Zhen stare at him.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked. The figure seemed to smile wider because it felt that it had gained the curiosity of Xie Ming Zhen.

"Shall I give you a secret of the sky that you don't know, Prince Xie Ming Zhen?" he said, again showing a smile full of cunning. "The woman who is currently spending the night with the Crown Prince, she is neither a lady-in-waiting nor a goddess. Rather, a demi-human is the result of the forbidden relationship of one of the Goddesses here with a human. And she has now obtained half the essence of the Crown Prince, which makes her a full Goddess."

Hearing those words, Xie Ming Zhen looked shocked. He never thought that something like this would happen. Again, his smile returned with a very real impression. He looks like he's been blessed. After all, someone like Xie Liao Xuan, who was a perfect figure with no loopholes, could do two fatal things like this, two fatal things that benefited him.
