News of Li Xiang and his family have been removed from the main family registry soon spread quickly. The reason for their removal and punishment has also been leaked out by someone. Li Xiang and his family have turned into the most hated family in the country. Mu Huang and his Mu family have also been dragged into it too since he's Li San-San's husband. When that happened, Mu Huang immediately demoted Li San-San into a second wife. And that helped to calm the situation for him.
After news of Li Meng has been made as the next head candidate and the Old Master Li is back to take care of the Li family. The Dark Eagle has removed the Li family from the blacklist and they are willing to do business again with them. Due to that, many people gossips that it was Li Xiang and his family that caused the Li family's misfortune. And now that they are gone, the Li family is once again back to normal.
Time passes by very quickly, it's been almost six months since Ba Yue went into closed-door cultivation. Many things have changed and happened since then, but she has no idea about any of them. One day, the door to Ba Yue's bedroom has opened. There's right, Ba Yue finished her closed-door cultivation and has advanced! She's finally back!
Little Red has been sleeping in front of Ba Yue since she went into closed-door cultivation, so he can better guard her. Suddenly, the door opened and Ba Yue walks out of the room with all smiles on her face. Little Red immediately woke up from his sleep when he heard the noises coming from the room, he knows his young master is done with her cultivation.
"Welcome back, Young Master. You come out a little early than I've expected." Little Red greeted his master as soon and Ba Yue came out of her room.
"Little Red, thanks for guarding me all this time. I'm back and I have advanced a lot, the energy stones that I used have all turned into dust." Ba Yue picks up Little Red and holds him in her arms to pat him.
Little Red enjoys Ba Yue's touch as she pats him. It's been a very long time since she did that and he missed it. But he didn't forget to ask her about her progress even though he is enjoying the feeling of being patted right now.
"Young Master, how's your cultivation? How much did you advanced?"
"Let's talk about it inside the room", Ba Yue walks back to the room with Little Red still in her arms.
Once inside her own room, Ba Yue puts Little Red down and closed the bedroom door. She then released her energy to show Little Red her result. It was astonishing, Little Red opened his eyes wide. How can she advance so quickly like that? Little Red thought.
"Youn...Young...Master, you...you are Blue Level, Grade 7 now!"
"Yes, I was so surprised too. If I have used all the energy stones instead of half the stones, then I might advance to Purple Level!" Ba Yue couldn't conceal her excitement at all.
Knock...Knock...Suddenly a small knocking sound is heard from the door.
"Come in"
The door opened and it was Han Yan at the door.
"Young Miss, it's really you! When I didn't see Little Red in front of your door, I wonder if you have come out. Then I heard a little noise coming from the room, so I decided to knock on the door to find out." Han Yan said as she excitedly enters the room.
"Ah Yan, it's been a while. Thanks for your hard work. I didn't take a bath for a long time, can you tell Han Chu to get me the bath water? Also, can you get Ho Wai? I want to know what's going for the time that I wasn't around."
"I understand, I'll go right now." Han Yan left immediately left to go get Han Chu.
"Young Master, I didn't go outside since you went into closed-door cultivation, so I can't tell you anything. But the seventh prince has been coming here once a week to see you since we came back here that day. Even though the girls told him that you won't be out for a few months, he insisted on coming here to see you." Little Red decides to tell his master about that man, he can tell that man really cares for his young master a lot.
Ba Yue sighs deeply, she still doesn't know what to do with Lok Son yet. But she knows she will eventually have to deal with him.
"What's the point of him coming here? He can't see me anyway." Ba Yue mumbled under her breath, but Little Red did hear her mumbled.
"Even though he can't see you, but he will sit in front of your door for hours at a time looking at the door. He looked like he wants to see you through the door, I really think he's not that bad." Even Little Red was touched by his action and wants to help him just a little bit.
"Little Red, you know about me being Li Hei-Yi before. I was betrayed by a man that I thought I knew and love. I don't think it's going to be easy for me to trust any man that easily. And you know that I'm not really from here. I might have to leave here one day, I can't give him false hopes."
"Um...about that. I think I should tell you now since you might find out sooner or later." Little Red think that it might be time to Ba Yue to know about Mak Lok-Son.
"What is it?" Ba Yue is curious what Little Red has to tell her.
"Um...Well...the thing is...Mak Lok Son isn't really that simple."
"That I know, he already told me, he's had no mental disorder." Ba Yue still have no idea what he's trying to tell her.
"I don't mean that. What I want to tell you is that he knows about the other worlds. And he knows that we both are from the other world."
"WHAT! You better explain this to me clearly, why does he know that!" Ba Yue is shocked that that Lok-Son knows. She's also dismayed that Little Red knows all this but didn't tell her anything about it.
Young Master, please listen to me. It's really not my fault that he found out about us. The truth is….everything is that man's fault! He forced it out of me...so.." Little Red is afraid that Ba Yue will be mad at him, so he blamed everything on Mak Lok Son.
"Just hurry up and tell me the truth now."
"Well, the first day that you brought me back here from the Black Forest, he already knows. He can tell that I'm a God Beast just from looking at me. He wanted to know why I'm here, so I told him that the reason and why I followed you. He 'forced' me promised not to tell you about him. I didn't have a contract with you back then, and you didn't know anything about the other world. So I didn't plan to tell you until you formed a contract with me first and know more about the other worlds."
Ba Yue is silent, she can't get mad at Little Red since what he said was true. She didn't form a contract with him get back then yet and also knows nothing about the other worlds. But wait, did he tell Lok Son about my other stuff after we formed the contract?
"Little Red, tell me honestly. Did you tell Lok Son about my real identity after you formed the contract with me? Does he know what I'm doing?"
"No, of course not. After forming a contract with you, you are my true master. I can never betray you or sell you out. I didn't say a word to him about your identity or what you have been doing. But he knows about the Han sister. He can tell that I'm different, so he can also tell the Han sisters are also different."
"Did the Han sister also know about Lok-Son?"
"You can't blame the Han sisters, Mak Lok-Son just wanted to confirm that they are no threat to you. The girls told him nothing about you or the White Moon and he also didn't ask. I told the girl not to tell you about him yet because I have a feeling he wants to tell you about it himself."
The conversation has been stopped when Han Chu brought in the bath water. Ba Yue looked at her and thought, so the Han Sister knows about Lok Son before her.
"Young Miss, you finally come out. We missed you a lot. Master Ba isn't home right now, but he will be so happy to see you when he comes home later." Han Chu happily talks to Ba Yue and isn't aware of the weird look Ba Yue had in her eyes when she looked at her.
"Han Chu is there anything you want to tell me or that I should know about." Ba Yue wants to see if Han Chu will tell her anything about Lok Son or if she have anything hiding from her.
" Oh...I don't know where to start but lots of things have happened. The White Moon is doing well and our business is doing great." Han Chu had no idea what Ba Yue wanted to ask. She thought Ba Yue only wants to know how the White Moon is doing.
"Anything else?"
"Well, lots of things have changed and so much have also happened in town, but it really has nothing to do with us. Oh...wait, there is one thing that I think young miss you might want to know. Li Dong-Man, that shameless man, and his family has been removed from the Li family registry. They are doing terribly right now, so I don't think he will ever come to bother you again."
The news of Li Dong-Man and his family have been removed from the main family registry have shocked Ba Yue so much that she forgot about everything else. She impatiently asked Han Chu what happened, but what she heard gave her mix feelings.
She knew that with her speed to build the White Moon strong enough to go against the Li family and the Mu family, it will take at least a few years. So when she heard that someone has taken care of her uncle and his family for her, she is happy but at the same time feels empty on the inside. She doesn't know if she should feel grateful to the Dark Eagle or be mad at them for taking away her goal of revenge. But it doesn' matter because it's still not over yet for those people. She'll go and give them a final blow.
Soon, Han Yan came back with Ho Wai. They told her what had happened with the White Moon. The White Moon has successfully opened the stores and the sales have been great. Han Yan also brought the old brothel for an extremely cheap price, since no one offered any bids for the auction. She only paid 20k gold coins for it, similar properties around the same area are worth around 60k-70k of gold coins.
"That's very good, you have all done an excellent job. Tell the people at the White Moon that they will all receive an extra month of salary as a bonus for their good work." Ba Yue is happy to hear all these good news. She knew it was a wise choice to recruit Ho Wai to work for her, he has the talent to be a leader even if she's not around. Maybe if she's not here one day, he can take over for her.
"I will thank you for the bonus on behalf of the people at White Moon, young miss." Ho Wai thanked Ba Yue for his men.
"Han Chu told me about what had happened lately around town and the Li family. Can you tell me more details." Ba Yue asked Ho Wai because the White Moon might know more than Han Chu since the stores are up and running now, they should be able to collect some information. And just as she thought, the White Moon knows a lot more than Han Chu.
Ho Wai told Ba Yue more details regarding the Li family and how the Old Master Li has punished his son and made Li Meng as the future head of the family. There's also news regarding Li San-San that no one knows since she's lives in the Mu residence.
"Young Miss, we also have news regarding that Li San-San, the eldest daughter of Li Xiang. There's not much news or rumors about her since she doesn't live in the Li residence. But we have some customers that work in the Mu family, so we managed to find out something about the Mu family and Li San-San. Would you like to know?" Ho Wai said.
"Yes, tell me everything. I need to know all the details." Ba Yue is surprised that her people were able to obtain so much information. But she is glad that they did because she needs to know what happened to those people.
"According to those people that worked in the Mu family, ever since the main wife Li SanSan has been demoted to a second wife, she's not doing so well. She had a miscarriage soon after getting demoted and some said that she had gone crazy since then."
Ba Yue knows that Li SanSan won't be able to live for long. Mu Huang probably has people pretending to let out the news that Li SanSan had a miscarriage and had gone crazy, so people won't be too surprised when the news of her sudden death comes out. Just like back then when he lets out the news of me being sick with an illness and then finally killed me. He is just that kind of person. He won't let people of no use stay, not especially Li SanSan knew so many of his secrets!
"Any news reguarding Mu Huang?" Ba Yue asked.
"Not much, we only know he recently brought in two mistresses to the Mu residence."
"I see. If you have nothing else to report, you can leave first. I need to take a bath, I can feel the dust on me for not bathing for so many months." Ba Yue has asked them to leave since there's so much on her mind right now. She needs to clear her head.
Ho Wai and the Han sisters left the room to let Ba Yue take a bath and rest. After they left, Ba Yue got undressed and got into the bathtub. She sat there thinking about all the things she has just heard. Her uncle and his family are over, but that's still not enough. She will add a final blow to them to make sure they can never be back on their feet again.
As for Mu Huang, he seems to be doing well since he can still bring back two mistresses to the Mu residence. She can't let him off easy like that, he needs to suffer the most! They said Li San-San had gone crazy, but she doesn't believe it at all. Li San-San is currently in the same predicament as the past Li Hei-Yi. So she knows how Li San-San feels and knows what she's thinking of right now. The past Li Hei-Yi can only hate and wish for revenge.
