Chapter 954: Chapter 420: Never meeting in life, moving like parting at dawn, at last I see you, my lord

The Moon Deity Festival is one of the most joyous and festive days in the Moon God Palace.

A ten-thousand-year birthday is, for cultivators, a major cause for celebration.

In the Mortal World, such an occasion often features fire trees and silver flowers, with beauty spanning miles; the Immortal Cultivation Method World is even more splendid.

Lantern trees cast thousands of lights, while firework flowers bloom in seven branches.

At that time, the Moon God Palace was as bright as day, even in the darkness of night.

Streaks of light flashed by from time to time, as cultivators from other battle zones arrived, wearing wide-sleeved robes and bringing gifts, creating a bustling scene.

The host of the Moon Deity Festival was dressed in a red cicada-winged overcoat with an underlying treasure-blue camisole, appearing jubilant and exuding an air of elegance.

She sat in the seat of honor, her face perpetually wearing a smile.

"Please thank Defensive Commander Hong Jun for me!" she said.

The man who had just come to offer her birthday congratulations was the younger brother of the Defensive Commander Hong Jun.

A Defensive Commander, second only to the Sun God, wields the highest power in the Demon Abyss territory.

Without a special reason, a Defensive Commander would not leave their governed realm.

Now, for Defensive Commander Hong Jun to send his brother as a gift bearer was naturally a huge boost to Yu Tiao’s reputation as the festival’s hostess.

"Half of the nineteen realm’s Defensive Commanders have sent representatives to offer birthday wishes; Sister Yu Tiao, you truly incite envy!"

"If I were to reach ten thousand and hold a Moon Deity Festival, I fear few would come. Some of these commanders wouldn’t even bother to send anyone."

Inside and outside the great hall of the Moon God Palace, the noise of chatter and bustle was incessant.

In the eyes of the others, their envy towards Yu Tiao was unmistakeably evident.

In a corner, bathed in moonlight, a sense of serene calmness pervaded.

Yuexuang glanced at the woman beside her and said, "Your Moon Deity Festival will surely be ten times more lively."

The woman remained silent, her demeanor serene and composed.

Looking at her again, Yuexuang couldn’t help but admire aloud, "With just a little dressing up, you outshine everyone here. You better not go to congratulate Yu Tiao; she would probably curse you in her heart."

Probably because of the festival, or maybe persuaded by Yuexuang, Jin Li had, for once, discarded her usual plain robe for the occasion.

Upon Jin Li’s fair complexion, a touch of light makeup was applied, and her hair was pinned up with a golden hairpin, revealing her delicate beauty.

She wore a light-yellow dress with golden threads, a light yellow shawl draped over her shoulders, a pale lotus-pink undergarment, and a waistband adorned with the Vermilion Bird Jade Belt, from which hung a delicate Jade Tide, with the patterns on her skirt trailing downwards, occasionally revealing golden embroidery.

Her full chest accentuated by a slender waist created a striking contrast.

With her slightly powdered delicate nose and mouth, she was the epitome of national beauty.

"This... is not suitable for battle!" exclaimed the beautiful woman with a reflection in the water, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.

Seeing this, Yuexuang couldn’t help but say, "Among all the Moon Maidens, you have the fewest admirers. Such an aura of coldness is intimidating to behold."

Although Moon Maidens are not allowed to marry, many admire them.

If there happened to be a moment of passion, the Moon God Palace would turn a blind eye.

Jin Li did not respond to the words, the elegant moonlight shone on her, adding to her allure.

"You know, I heard Mo Chi Heavenly Venerable from Duanyue Abyss declare that he has taken a fancy to you and wants to snatch you away as his partner," Yuexuang teased.

Moon Maiden Jinli remained unperturbed, sitting alone and gently stroking the Jade Tide.

The birthday celebrations continued, and more attendees arrived.

Cultivators of Venerable rank no longer sparked discussion; only mythic figures captured the attention of many.

"Zhegui wishes sister well and offers three strands of Innate Primordial Chaos Qi, in hopes that sister will soon ascend to the honored position in the Star Domain!"

At this moment, a mythic female cultivator presented her gift, drawing the curious gaze of several ordinary Yin Gods.

Yet among the guests, she appeared quite ordinary.

Yu Tiao’s eyes sparkled with a smile as she responded politely, "May sister also ascend to the Star Domain and achieve honored status soon."

Upon hearing this, Zhegui’s face revealed a calm smile, and she exchanged a few courteous words.

This scene was observed by Yuexuang, and a complex expression flickered in her eyes.

"That person... is problematic."

"Hmm?" Jin Li was surprised.

"I’ve received information that she seems to harbor a heart of betrayal and may attempt to flee the Moon God Palace today to join the Mo Luo Clan," Yuexuang stated calmly.

Unlike Jin Li, Yuexuang belonged to a secret team, specifically in charge of the intelligence department.

"Are you interested in intercepting her and her contact person? This could be a merit for you," Yuexuang suggested calmly.

This was the domain of the Moon God Palace; as long as Zhegui didn’t leave, she couldn’t stir up trouble.

With Bamboo Grove under the Waning Moon watching over, and Longyue Heavenly Venerable presiding, the place was secure.

Just like the Moon God Palace, the Mo Luo Clan also had its share of traitors like Zhegui.

"Sure," agreed Jin Li with a nod.

"Having you work on the day of your birth, I am somewhat ruthless," Yuexuang joked with a laugh.

On the dais, figures milled about, guests crowded like clouds, and laughter filled the air.

Compared to the edge where Jin Li stood, it was almost like being in two different worlds.

"Alas, you should be enjoying the splendor like Yu Tiao," Yuexuang remarked regretfully.

After all, Jin Li was Her Highness Moon Maiden, with an esteemed status in the Moon God Palace, even higher than Sun God.

Even for other Moon Maidens, on ordinary birthdays, many guests would come to celebrate, and those who couldn’t would send letters along with gifts.

But today’s event was nearly over, and aside from herself, no one else had brought a gift for Jin Li, not even a letter.

Yuexuang was in charge of the intelligence department, and she hadn’t received any letters for Jin Li either.

She understood that ever since Jin Li’s return, she had been immersed in striving for military achievements in the Demon Abyss, rarely interacting with her fellow sect members.

Otherwise, it would not be so quiet at her door.

"These things are not important," Jin Li shook her head.

She never cared about such matters.

"You, oh you," Yuexuang sighed, before saying, "Let’s go, follow her."

The problematic Zhegui had already departed.

"Okay."

The two concealed themselves and left the bustling Moon Deity Festival behind.

The area of the Moon God Palace remained extraordinarily lively, dazzling light everywhere.
