ATG: My genius is almost frightening!-Chapter 286 - 285: Yue Wugou
Chapter 286: 285: Yue Wugou
Yue Wugou’s life was quite tragic. She once shared a perfect love story with Yue Wuya, but her fate took a cruel turn when she was attacked by Qianye Ying’er’s subordinates. She lost her memories, fell in love with another man, and lived a happy life with him, even giving birth to his child. But in the end, her memories returned, and everything changed once again.
She had been living peacefully with her husband when she suddenly remembered that she had once loved another man. It was like someone recovering memories from a past life, memories and feelings she didn’t know were hers. In the end, she became a single woman who truly loved two men.
Yue Wugou usually stayed in a pocket world hidden within the most sacred area of the Moon Divine City. A barrier personally erected by the Moon God Emperor sealed the place, and only those with his direct bloodline could enter. He strictly forbade anyone from approaching.
When Yun Wuji saw her, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing simple white robes. Her face looked like it had been etched with the vicissitudes of life, but it was still beautiful enough to bring ruin to a country. It was just that her jade-like features were far too pale, so pale they looked like white wax about to burn up.
At first glance, Yun Wuji noticed that she resembled Xia Qingyue very much. It was just that, maybe because of her frail health, her figure was a little less ’impressive’ than her daughter’s.
"Wuya...Cough...Cough...Cough," Yue Wugou called out softly when she saw Yue Wuya, but just as she spoke, it brought on a painful bout of coughing, causing her face to go even paler.
"Senior!"
A white light congealed in Yue Wuya’s hand, and he was about to swiftly move to help her when Yun Wuji stepped forward. Light Profound Energy shone in his palm as he pressed it against Yue Wugou’s hand. Seeing this, Yue Wuya stopped his action and watched silently.
Soon, under the effect of the profound light energy, Yue Wugou’s coughing stopped, and her breathing returned to normal. Her pale complexion improved. She took her palm from his and, without speaking, gave Yue Wuya a look, to which Yue Wuya spoke, "This young man is Fei Yang. He is the disciple of Luo Guxie and also Qingyue’s husband."
"What!?" Yue Wugou was at first uncomfortable with a man other than Yue Wuya or Xia Hongyi touching her, but upon hearing Yue Wuya’s explanation, the woman’s weary, pale face showed some emotion. Her sorrowful eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to hold his hand. "You are Qingyue’s husband?"
"Yes, senior," Yun Wuji replied with a polite smile. Facing his mother-in-law, he acted very respectfully and modestly. Her eyes hung slightly low with a faint smile. Seeing him behave like this, Luo Guxie blinked, as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Yue Wugou looked at the young man before her. He was extremely handsome and carried an extraordinary temperament, giving off a calm aura that made people want to be near him. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. "Sigh, Qingyue, my daughter is already so grown, she’s married and has started her own home."
Thinking of her daughter, Yue Wugou let out a sad, guilty sigh. She felt very guilty about her daughter. As a mother, she was unqualified because she left her daughter when she was still a child and ran away.
"Yang’er, is it okay to call you that? Come sit next to your mother-in-law and tell me about you and Qingyue," Yue Wugou said, pulling Yun Wuji and having him sit beside her. She ignored Yue Wuya and Luo Guxie and began to ask Yun Wuji questions.
She asked him about his life, how he met Xia Qingyue, when they got married, how she was doing now, and how he came to the God Realm.
Yun Wuji was very patient, answering each question one by one. From her attitude, he could tell the love and guilt she carried for her daughter. She had been absent for most of her daughter’s life, and no parent would feel good about that. Well... except someone like Xing Juekong or Qianye Fantian.
Being ignored, Yue Wuya stood still, watching Yue Wugou talk with Yun Wuji. He didn’t feel annoyed or angry. On the contrary, as he looked at the scene, his lips unconsciously curled into a smile. Yue Wugou had always been sad and worn out rarely did she smile.
After talking for a long time, Yue Wugou finally asked, "Where is Qingyue right now?"
"She is in the Snow Song Realm," Yun Wuji hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Yue Wuya before answering. "The Divine Ice Phoenix Sect has a close relationship with the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace."
Yun Wuji didn’t bring Xia Qingyue with him to the Moon God Realm because he worried about her safety. He didn’t know how Yue Wuya felt about her, who knew if he might suddenly fly into a rage and attack her? Though the chance was small, Yun Wuji wouldn’t risk his wife’s safety. On the other hand, even if Yue Wuya did turn against them, he and Luo Guxie could easily leave the Moon God Realm safely.
Noticing his subtle expression, Yue Wuya and Yue Wugou immediately understood his concerns. Yue Wuya’s hand clenched tightly, while Yue Wugou’s face grew dim.
Yun Wuji acted as if he didn’t notice anything and continued to speak. "Qingyue has been trying very hard to find you. She put all her heart into cultivation these past years just to come to the God Realm and find you."
"Qingyue," Yue Wugou muttered softly, tightening her grip on his hand. She pictured her daughter, small and alone, cultivating with gritted teeth, working hard to reach an illusory distance goal. Without any friends or companions, she struggled on. Glancing back at Yun Wuji, Yue Wugou felt grateful once more. Thankfully, her daughter had found a man who accompanied and supported her.
Yun Wuji felt he had spoken enough and changed the subject. "Senior, I have already checked your condition."
"What is her situation? Is it possible for her to recover?" Without waiting for Yue Wugou to speak, Yue Wuya said excitedly, "Young Master Fei, if you can heal Wugou, you will have my eternal gratitude, no, the Moon God Realm’s eternal gratitude. No matter what your request is, I will do anything to satisfy it."
Although Yue Wuya had never seen Light Profound Energy in person, from the memories he inherited, he knew just how miraculous this energy was. It was said to heal any wound, no matter how grievous, even if a person was half dead. It was even said to extend a person’s lifespan.
It was literally a profound energy that could create miracles!
Yue Wuya didn’t know how Yun Wuji had cultivated Light Profound Energy, but it didn’t matter to him. What mattered was healing Yue Wugou!
’Anything? If I asked you to die, would you do it?’ Yun Wuji thought coldly, but on the surface, he kept a warm smile. "Please don’t. Senior Wugou is my wife’s mother. I will naturally do my utmost to help her."
"Although senior’s vitality has withered over the years and she has lost most of her profound energy, I can still heal her back to health. It’s just that it will take some time..."
"How long?" Yue Wuya asked. As long as there was hope, he wouldn’t mind even if it took thousands of years. The only thing that made him sad was knowing he wouldn’t be there to see her.
"Around two months," Yun Wuji replied. Two months would give him enough time to handle other matters and get Yue Wuya killed.
"Two months? Just two months?" Yue Wuya muttered in disbelief. He stared at Yun Wuji with astonishment, then his expression shifted to gratitude. Speaking to the man who was scheming his death, he said sincerely, "Young Master Fei, this king doesn’t know what to say... In the future, please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Yun Wuji smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at Yue Wugou, who was also shocked. Her shock wasn’t as strong, or maybe her emotions had been numb for so long that she couldn’t show much. He spoke softly, "Senior, I will start treatment right now. Is that alright?"
Yue Wugou raised her hand and placed it on his cheek, speaking with a soft, gentle smile. "Calling me senior feels like talking to a stranger. Since you are Qingyue’s husband, you should call me mother or mom."
Yun Wuji showed genuine surprise. His eyes widened slightly, and he opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally saying in a very low voice, "Mom?"
’Yang’er is embarrassed? Does he have mommy issues? Damn, no wonder he liked son-mother roleplay so much!’ Luo Guxie was surprised by his embarrassed expression. Quietly, without him noticing, she pulled out a profound imagery stone and recorded him, a sly smile on her lips.
Yue Wuya sensed the aura of the profound imagery stone, but when he caught sight of Luo Guxie’s expression, he said nothing. He thought to himself, ’Looks like the bond between this master and disciple runs deep.’
If only he knew just how ’deep’ their relationship was.
Yue Wugou chuckled, finding his reaction adorable. She patted his head gently and said softly, "Good child."
Yun Wuji coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment, then said, "Senior Moon God Emperor, I would prefer no disturbances during the treatment. I hope you don’t take offense."
He was about to do something important, and it would be dangerous if Yue Wuya noticed.
"Haha, how could this king be displeased? I’ll wait outside. If you need anything, feel free to call me," Yue Wuya laughed, showing no sign of displeasure at being asked to leave, then spoke generously before turning to go.
Yue Wugou was Yun Wuji’s mother-in-law. He didn’t think Yun Wuji would ever harm her or do anything despicable. Besides, he had placed many soul brands on her, so if her life was ever in danger, he could respond immediately.
Luo Guxie gave Yun Wuji one last glance before following after Yue Wuya.
Once only the two of them remained, Yun Wuji helped Yue Wugou onto the bed and said, "Senior... Mom, please close your eyes and relax. I’ll take care of the rest."
"Hmm," Yue Wugou gave him a gentle smile and closed her eyes.
Taking her hand, Yun Wuji channeled his Light Profound Energy along with the Great Way of the Buddha, infusing the power of Heaven and Earth.
The sacred white light soon wrapped around her entire body, filling Yue Wugou with a deep sense of comfort and relaxation.
At the same time, Yun Wuji quietly activated another technique without her noticing.
This was a very despicable technique. Yun Wuji had created it accidentally, no, it couldn’t even be called an accident. It was a byproduct of his Invictus and Devil Emperor’s Internal Classic. It came to him naturally, as if he had learned it without trying.
He had never used this technique before, and never thought he would use it in this life. freeweɓnovel-cøm
