Chapter 49 - Lord Yueliang

On the beautiful land of Moon....

In a mesmerizing garden with hundreds of fireflies roaming around here and there, under a small pavilion made of white marble and spiritual gathering stones, a Godly figure was sitting.

He was wearing plain white color brocade clothes but anyone could tell with just one look that those clothes were of really very high quality.

Half of his long black hair were tied up with a beautiful jade hairpin and the rest were left down on his back.

His jade like white skin was shining under the darkness of the night.

He was busy in painting something when a black fire appeared at a few meters in front of the little pavilion. The Godly figure flicked his sleeve and the painting disappeared from the table.

There was a small smile on his face as he stood up and started walking towards the man in purple clothes who emerged from the black fire.

His clothes flew in the breeze as he walked. His aura was strong, much stronger than any immortal on the mainland, but all one could see when they looked at this God was the warmth and love that emitted from him.

His dark cerulean eyes were like a deep ocean which calls like a sirens song.

And that faint smile on his lips only added to his beauty.

Not only women but even men were under the charm of the beauty of this God.

"I'm surprised to see the Evernight Lord at my place. For what do I get this great honor?" The God asked with a soft smile.

"Lord Yueliang, it's only been what - 8 years since we last met and you are already pretending like it has been a century!" The supposed Evernight Lord or our Ruoshan said playfully.

Both of the men entered into the pavilion and took a seat. Ruoshan observed the deity as the later poured tea for him.

"Nah! Although your tea is very unique and special but it still not the one I like. Next time, I'll bring the special tea from her, I know you will enjoy it." Ruoshan said as he took a sip and then put the cup back while shaking his head.

Lord Yueliang shook his head as he took a sip of his own tea and placed the cup back on the table.

"I never knew that you will take advantage of such an innocent girl like this. Do you know that it's not good for your image to torture a week seedling like her?" The playfulness was clear in his voice.

Ruoshan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the man who had just called Li Ming a week seedling.

"Innocent? Weak? Are you sure you are talking about her? My dear Lord Lan, it will be good for you if you spend a little time outside this Yueliang Land of yours. That woman is everything except an innocent and week seedling. She's a pure Demon Goddess in the face of a human!"

"And who told you that I'm taking advantage of her? I'm just staying with her for some time to stay safe from my enemies and so that I can cultivate back to my full strength!" Ruoshan said as he defended himself.

Lord Lan chuckled softly as he heard the shamelessness of the person in front of him.

"We both know that you don't need her to deal with those back at Evernight. Just admit that you are doing this to stay close to her!"

A smile finally appeared on Ruoshan's face as he saw the mocking look of the deity. He knew that he couldn't keep anything from this friend of his.

But he suddenly became serious as he asked, "When are you going to meet her?"

The smile on Yueliang's face disappeared. He lightly shook his head "It's not the right time!"

"Don't you want to meet her?" Ruoshan asked as he observed the sad look on his friend's face.

Lord Yueliang smiled sadly as he said "There's nothing that says that you can do what you want. Do I want to see her and be with her? Of course I do! We all had waited for past 50,000 years for her, of course I want to keep her by my side forever. But as I said, it's not the right time. She's not prepared yet."

He looked at Ruoshan as he continued, "That's why I want you to train her. Just as I said, she's an innocent and week seedling at this moment. You need to prepare her and develop her into a strong tree so that she could stand the coming storm."

Ruoshan patted his friends shoulder, "Don't worry. I will develop this seedling of ours into that strong tree. And she will always have our support."

"It's just a pity that she can't meet you for now!" Ruoshan said as he shook his head with a sorry look.

"I think, she's her hands full with you and the Shadow Lord at the moment. And if I'm not wrong then the Supreme Immortal will be joining the group soon." The deity said with a smile.

"So, the Shadow Lord is already in the show? No surprise that I felt his spiritual incense on her! That fox is already trying to take her away from us!" There was an evil and cold look in Ruoshan's eyes as he imagined breaking the white milky neck of the famous Fourth Prince of the Han Empire, or at least that's how the mortals knew him.

Lord Lan chuckled as he looked at his friend. "I'm sure the two of you will keep me entertained as I will wait for my turn to meet her. Just don't forget your main task between this bickering of yours."

"Didn't I already promised you? She's also important for me. Of course, she is my first priority. Show some faith Lord Lan!" Ruoshan said as he looked around the place.

"The five provisions has been waiting for thousands of years for their Empress. I think the wait will end soon!"

The two men looked at their surroundings and there was a small smile on their faces.

Both the man chatted for few more minutes before Ruoshan finally decided to return.

After Ruoshan left, Lord Yueliang took out the same painting. It was a painting of none other than Li Ming. Lord Yueliang looked lovingly at the girl in the painting as he said in a soft voice, "We'll meet soon but till then trust Ruoshan and Zhang. They will never hurt you."

He looked at the painting for a long time and finally put it away. He flew to the top of the pavilion and sat down there comfortably.

A jade flute materialized in his hands and after a few seconds, a very beautiful and heart warming melody started playing.
