Seeing the true feelings of the sentient wisteria flower tree spirit, the Moon Goddess’s rage had instantly calmed down. It seems that this tree spirit truly thinks of this human child as its child. She had sensed that the tree spirit’s vitality was wounded and clearly, it was even willing to give away its life just to save this human child’s life.

"Here, hold him careful. Support his head," Yue Xuexia said.

The Moon Goddess asked, "This human child, how did you meet?"

The Wisteria flower tree spirit carefully cradles the child in its arms and answer the question of the Moon Goddess.

{Humans come to my place looking for some kind of treasure. However, I do not welcome them. They were either killed by the beasts that lived in this place. But one day, a dying human was being chased by a group of humans. I do not understand at that time why that human was being chased as she carried this child.}

{In the end, to save this baby, she half buried the child on the ground and covered it with a few leaves then ran away. However, she was still killed by the other humans in the end. This child was pitiful so I picked him up. It’s just that I do not know how to take care of human children. Unlike you who even know how to take care of our kind.}

The Wisteria Tree glances at the children behind the Moon Goddess. It had sensed that except for one, most of these children were not human but instead sentient lotus flowers of all kinds and most of them were well fed and protected. It can feel a powerful blessing of the moon on them, protecting them well.

Yue Xuexia sat beside the tree spirit and said, "It’s not impossible for me to teach you how to take care of this child. But can you promise me not to harm him and protect him until he grows up and becomes an adult? Of course, I do not need a blind promise, if one day this child grows up and becomes a villain that bullies you, you can end him yourself."

{My child will not become a villain!}

"For that not to happen, you must not spoil him as he grows up!"

{Spoil? What does that mean?}

In the end, Yue Xuexia had taught the Tree Spirit well. Maybe the Tree Spirit had gained a sentient and intelligent enough, it instantly learned everything the Moon Goddess had taught it. In the end, it becomes even more human than real humans. This greatly helped her enhance her human form allowing her to solidify it.

{Thank you for teaching, your majesty the Moon Empress!}

The Moon Goddess didn’t seem surprised when the little tree spirit had recognized her. She only smiled and said,

"It was you who had learned well. Since you love this child regardless of his background and identity, you only need to teach him well."

{Yes, I will love him as my own!}

The Moon Goddess smiled, "That’s good. Then can you allow us to leave the forest now?"

{Of course! I will open a path which leads outside and protect you at the same time. You were being tailed by one human and I managed to hide your presence from him. Don’t worry, he will not find you. If there is something I can help, feel free to come back here. My Lost Forest welcomes you!}

"Okay. I will keep your word in mind. Take care, my little friend Wisteria," said Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuexia riding the back of the adult leopard with her children had finally reached the exit of the forest. Gone from the place full of trees and plants is a road that leads to some civilization. Even the children had cheered upon seeing the road.

"Finally, we got out!"

"Seeing a road after a few weeks of trees is quite... an experience."

"I thought we won’t be able to come out from there."

Yue Xuexia yawned while hugging the little system in her arms. She herself was quite happy leaving the forest. This is the first time she had walked a lot and walked even more that she felt so spent. Forcing a salted fish to flip is the hardest thing to do.

She looked at the children and said, "I do not think there would be a place to sleep here. You guys go back to the inner world and rest properly."

"I can accompany you, Mom," said Yue Huashui, this sentient blue lotus flower fairy.

Yue Xuexia shook her head and pats her son’s head. "No need. You still need to meditate at night. I will be fine. Take care of your siblings."

"Then... Alright, I will listen to Mom," said Yue Huashui.

The Moon Goddess upon putting the children back to her inner world to take a rest properly, she once again wore the mask artifact to make her face ordinary. She had also sent the leopards to the inner world to rest as well. Since there is no other mount available, she can only use the new carriage the system had given to her. A luxurious carriage was summoned before her, with phoenix pulling it over.

Her system, Qiuqiu, accompanied her on the way. After riding the carriage, she didn’t notice that someone was watching her the whole time. It was that old man riding on a mutated cow.

"Ancient Elven Bloodline, Yue Bloodline, Lotus flower spirits, even a special ability to use a high light elemental healing spell. What an interesting Yatou!" Murmured the old man on the back of the mutated cow before disappearing in thin air.

While Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue had successfully reunited with their parents, Tan Shenyu and Xue Shuyi, the situation at the three branch clans of the divine beast race is not looking good. This is especially true for the Vermilion Bird and Lesser Phoenix races. They have lost another God King realm cultivator in their clan which greatly angered their clan leaders.

At the Vermilion Bird Clan’s territory...

The father of the twin vermilion ladies who was killed by Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were now lighting some incense to the two coffins of his daughter. But the ice from Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were not easily melted, as their bloodline is that of royalty and its the purest. This is all thanks to the teaching of Feng Bingrui to them.

A messenger of the clan came running to report, "It’s bad Clan Master! The elder we sent to kill the ones who murdered the young ladies were found dead as well. Together with the God king from the Lesser Phoenix race!"

"What did you say!?" The enraged Vermilion Bird Clan master shouted in anger.

His twin beloved daughters were killed with only their heads covered in ice. Two godking realm elders of his clan were killed as well. He couldn’t believe this news however, the fact that the Third Elder didn’t return after coming out to avenge his daughters and this news from the scouts he had sent, he can only accept the fact that everything had truly happened.

"Aren’t those two just two Mixed blood bastards! How can they even survive when two god king cultivators besieged them!" Clan Master of the Vermilion Bird clan exclaimed.

The scout was terrified as the reddish flames around the clan leader had been somehow turning a bit darker. It means he is about to lose control over himself. The bloodline of the Vermilion Bird is powerful. It allowed them to wield a tainted flame. But something tainted is hard to control, it sometimes makes the wielder of the Vermilion Bird Flames go crazy when they are overwhelmed with emotions.

"Clan Master, please calm down. We have guests from the Lesser Phoenix race. It seems their loss is similar to ours."

The Vermilion Clan Master slowly calmed down thinking that he wasn’t the only one who had suffered.

"Alright I will go see them!"

On the other hand, at the Qilin Clan’s Territory...

Lao Qin who had returned ahead of time reported everything to the clan. Of course, he told everything that he had learned about the young couple and the fact that the fox clan is willing to put their race in line to protect this young couple.

"You are telling me that the mixed blood who killed the fifteenth young master possessed the blessing of the moon?! Is this real!?"

"Yes, I am telling the truth. They were also capable of borrowing their master’s cultivation and from Mahayama realm they shot up to Peak God King realm. Moreover, that doesn’t seem to be the limit of the blessing," Lao Qin said. "Also... Hu Yao told me something."

"You are friends with that sly fox. What did she tell you?" The Clan Master of the Qilin Clan said.

Lao Qin said, "She said that Feng Bingrui is still alive."

"What did you say?!"

This time it wasn’t only the clan master but also the elders of the clan who had exclaimed collectively. No one in the Immortal World, especially among the Divine Beasts, knew who Feng Bingrui was. It was said that Feng Bingrui is the strongest and was born with the purest royal bloodline among the Ice Phoenixes. It is not for the fact that he is lazy and unambitious that his elder brother would not have become the heir. Though right now, the current leader is the second prince, as for what happened within that clan, they had no intention of knowing, afraid that they would get dragged into messy family problems.
