Yin Moon Empress, her real name is Aurora Moonsky. The 15th Empress of the Eternal Moon Empire. She is a Celestial Saint cultivator. She possesses the Eternal Ethereal Yin Physique, a physique that is made for women. It grants the wielder Yin-type meridians and supreme dantian while allowing for easy comprehension of Yin Laws, a higher version of energy of ice.
The Yin Moon Empress was known for her long dark hair that seem to hold small moons, her piercing blue eyes, and mature, sexy body. She wore long silver robes that only rulers could wear. Having a Moon being covered by clouds engraved in her back and small clouds engraved in the sleeves.
She was a cold woman to anyone other than her daughters, yes she had no son. The Eternal Moon Empire has always been ruled by an Empress, they always had daughters, and never had an Emperor.
So how could one produce descendants? Through a secret technique were the Empress performs a ritual on the night of the full moon and they sacrifice some of their blood essence to make new life. It can only be used once in their life, but the result is a woman, if lucky two, with great talent, beauty, and temperament. They are blessed by the moon which allows the child to have a high chance of a Ice or Yin dantian when they form one. On rare occasions like Yin Moon Empress, they might be born with the Eternal Ethereal Yin Physique.
The Eternal Moon Empire uses this technique to produce an heir. Which is how only women have ruled for millennia. The founder of the Empire was known as a Eternal Moon Spirit, a race that lived off the Yin energy produced by the moon.
Currently, the Yin Moon Empress sat on her throne, her beautiful face filled with worry as her two daughters had yet to return from their little 'escape.' They always seemed to run away for fun, they were only 18 years old. Children in the eyes of many.
'Where can they be? Where did they run off to?' The Yin Moon Empress pondered as her blessed chest heaved up and down. Her thick thighs crossed as her figure seemed unreachable. She wore a veil on her face that covered all of her face, no one but her daughter had yet to see her face. She was that secretive.
It was at this moment that she sensed her daughter's aura outside of the palace. Immediately she sent her soul sense outside of the palace, where she found her daughter's walking along with a man?!
'A man? Why is he so handsome?! Did he seduce my daughters?! Wait no... that isn't possible, they cannot be seduced only fall in love.' Yin Moon Empress thought.
Being born from the moon they were special beings. They were not 'humans' and could be considered Spirits. Their species could only choose one partner in their life, of course, that was rare since they preferred to die virgins since their experience with men is just that horrible.
But it was something that did happen, never in the Eternal Moon Empire, but they still knew how their souls worked. Once an Eternal Moon Spirit is interested in a man they would spend some time with him to see his true personality. They could do this due to their special soul.
'That means if my daughters are that close with him they are using their souls to check his personality...' Yin Moon Empress eyes widened as she saw he daughters walk in with the man, 'Doesn't that mean they will either leave or make him stay?!'
Yin Moon Empress slightly trembled, but soon regained her composure.

As Rhys walked through the big hall and neared the door leading to the Throne room he stiffened, but soon he calmed down and prepared his heart to see a powerhouse of the world.
Click!
Sham!
The door clicked open as Rhys found himself enchanted by the sight in front of him.
The ceiling was painted a beautiful blue, with a bright blue moon shining in the middle and giving life to eternal moon spirits. It was as if they were blessed by the moon itself. The walls had intricate carvings of the moon and white foxes with many tails.
There were also many Jade carvings of different phases of the moon.
Rhys sucked in a breath as he saw the Empress, who sat majestically on her large throne, behind her were two Jade Archs rising and seemed like they would connect but connect with each other but didn't. [Picture in comments]
"We greet Mother!" Stella and Crystal bowed to their mother while Rhys soon followed after getting out of his own world.
"My daughters... you have finally returned after running away. Do you know how worried I was?" Yin Moon Empress spoke, her voice sounding like the most divine sound ever.
"We are sorry, we will not do this again, we have learned our lessons." By now both Stella and Crystal were properly dressed, as if what happened yesterday never did.
"Good, come to your mother so she can see you." If before, Yin Moon Empress's voice was cold, now it was full of warmth and love.
Crystal and Stella complied and moved forward, climbing the stairs as they soon reached Yin Moon Empress, whose hands moved to touch their cheeks.
"So tell me, who might you be, man?" Yin Moon Empress spoke, but she herself was inwardly surprised. She called him a 'man' not a 'boy' as she should since in her eyes she was a 'boy.'
'Does that mean I see him as a man!?' Yin Moon Empress was surprised once more since she met Rhys. Of course, her daughters did not notice but Rhys did, he knew he should be a boy in her eyes, not a man.
"Hello, my Empress, my name is Rhys Zuldroan, son of Edea Zuldroan. Part of the Zuldroan clan." Rhys spoke respectably, never raising his head and making sure his voice was filled with confidence.
"So why are you here?" Yin Moon Empress asked, this time it was Stella that replied.
"Mother, he saved us in times of danger. This is what we meant when we said we learn our lesson." Stella spoke respectably, Yin Moon Empress frowned when she heard her daughters were in danger.
"I see, so did you come here to ask of something of me? I guess you did, you men are all the same." Her voice turned sharp and cold.
Rhys smirked and stood up, looking straight at Yin Moon Empress and appreciating her beauty.
Rhys looked at her mature body, cold aura, her dark long hair, and veiled face. He also looked at the blue tiara around her head. It was a blue tiara made of moon iron, it went around her head, connecting it was strings of high quality which had shapes of moons on them as it moved down.
A veil over her black hair that was as long as her hair, which made her hair seem like held moons on them.
Rhys got his bearings and replied to Yin Moon Empress, "I am not like all men, I am different. Also, I only came here because your daughters wanted me to come here. I never expected anything out of this, in fact, I did not know they were Princesses when I saved them."
Each of his words was filled with majesty, his pride as a dragon, well partly one, not shaken in the face of Yin Moon Empress aura.
"Rhys speaks the truth mother. We asked him to come." Crytal spoke as she looked at her mother with a 'please let him stay' look.
Yin Moon Empress did not reply, she was too busy keeping her bearings, the majesty Rhys had just surpassed her own and almost made her want to bow. Not only that, his confidence and manliness touched her.
'What is this? A dragon aura? Am I being self-conscious of him?...' Yin Moon Empress spoke, her body shaking a bit, she soon calmed down and continued.
"I see, very well then. We will have a chat, my daughters go to your room and prepare a room for him after you bathe, you are very dirty."
Yin Moon Empress words rang in the room, the two Princesses smiled and nodded before leaving. They did not think their mother would hurt him. After all, he was their savior, it would be wrong of her.
The moment they left Rhys cursed in his mind, 'Will she kill me? No... Speak with me about what? No one even asked if I wanted to stay here!'
Rhys cursed his fate while Ina laughed, she knew he was in no danger.
"Boy, look at me." Yin Moon Empress spoke, Rhys opened his eyes that he closed when he started to curse.
Yin Moon Empress shuttered slightly when she saw his sharp gaze, it was not out of fear, but out of ecstasy. She was not human, nor were her daughters, in fact, the whole Imperial lineage wasn't human. She shook in ecstasy because her soul had a reaction she never expected.
'He seems worthy of my daughters, he has the pride of an emperor. His cultivation could easily be improved with resources. His majesty is great as well!' Yin Moon Empress did not even consider the way she acted... she accepted a man!
Her ancestors would commit suicide if they knew, those were the implications of accepting a man. After all, never had there been an Emperor in the Eternal Moon Empire.
"You wanted to chat with me, no?" Rhys spoke, as he sighed.
Yin Moon Empress did not reply and stood up, she slowly walked down the steps and soon stood in front of Rhys, she was a bit shorter than Rhys.
"Yes, I want to ask you a few things..." Yin Moon Empress spoke as her hand reached for her face veil, Rhys's eyes widened, he did not expect this.
Slowly Yin Moon Empress raised her veil, revealing her perfect face. Blue eyes, pale skin, small nose, and sharp eyes. With velvet lips that seem very kissable, her face was mature and full of charm that even Rhys found it hard to resist, his eyes slowly contracted as he resisted the temptations. Add to that her mature body that outclassed her daughters' and you got a MILF!
"For now refer to me as Empress. My full title is too long for this type of talks." Aurora laughed. Unlike Rhys's her bloodline was always pure, so the Perfect Beauty of the spirit race was on full effect on her. Because of that, Rhys was having a hard time resisting her mature charm.
"To resist my charms means you really aren't like other men who would begin to show lust when they see my face. Good."
'This woman...!'
"This might seem like a lot, it might be. But I want to know who you really are, my daughters seem interested in a stranger they met a few hours ago, so, from my point of view, you are an enigma." Aurora spoke, while Rhys remained silent, his pupils slowly returning to normal.
"We are Eternal Moon Spirits, as long as the moon exists so will we, our race rarely chooses a partner, but when we do it is a process very complicated. We use our soul to look at the soul of our potential partner, doing this we can see the true persona of the one we are interested in.
"Once we confirm the persona of our potential partner we either leave or accompany them. We are loyal, we will never betray our partner even if they betray us. As long as we live our lives will be dedicated to our partner. Because of this, we are often hurt by our partners who in the end stop caring about us.
"Which is why we rarely choose partners. Now that my daughters, my treasures, the light in my life are attracted to you. I want to confirm your feelings, whether you will be the same and hurt them. If so I will kill you to make sure they don't suffer such a life." Aurora stopped to breathe in.
"Tell me, Rhys, do you love my daughters? Will you stay with them? Do you promise to protect them?" Aurora spoke, unaware that her own soul was now judging him, just like when an Eternal Moon Spirit looked for a partner. Neither did she know she was rushing things, she was already giving her daughters' hands to Rhys.
"Speaking with my heart, I have no feelings other than positive ones for them. They are kind, beautiful, and strong. But I barely know them, if I could fall in love with them that easy, wouldn't it be lust rather than love? I can't promise I will fall in love, my life has been hard and my mind has been broken, although now it isn't as bad. But given the time, I don't doubt they might be able to shake my heart and win a place inside of it."
Aurora listened and nodded, "Good response, if you had said you did have feelings for them I would have killed you, true feelings do not develop that fast, that is only lust. This is why I want you to stay in my Palace, with them for some time, from the information I have gathered while we chatted I know you like to train, I will prepare the proper equipment for that. All I ask of you is to stay with them and see if something can happen. I don't want my daughters to be hurt..."
Rhys stayed silent, 'Ina?'
"Accept, there are no downsides, the resources she can provide you will be good since this way you can advance fast enough until you can use the resources in the Jade ring. Even if you do fall in love it would not be bad, since like she said, they are loyal and caring. Lastly, I understand the plight of a mother, well not really, but I could feel the memories of Swarshlen, who sacrificed himself for his wives and children." Ina finished speaking in his head.
"Fine, I agree. I will stay with them for some time." Rhys smiled, making Aurora blush a bit, the moment she noticed this she nodded. Her feelings were a bit, uncomfortable.
"Please go out, my daughters should be waiting." Aurora spoke as she put her veil down and watched Rhys leave before she completely lost her mind.
'I blushed? There is no way I'm falling for him... So fast? Is his true personality that good? Enough to meet my high standards!? Ah... there is no way... but if it is...' Aurora did not continue her thoughts as her face slowly got redder and redder, a healthy blush covered her face and ears, but her veil covered her face. Her soul was reacting to Rhys's and actively judging him as a potential partner.
