Chapter 1233: Lifespan is Set!

“I am helping the Moon Empress, so retract your aura. If it explodes, it might distract the Moon Empress.”

At first, Mystic Moon’s eyes flashed, and it seemed that he was not going to back down.

But when he heard the latter part of Cicada Song’s statement, he struggled for a moment before decisively restraining his aura.

Mystic Moon knew a fair amount about Cicada Song’s signature fey, the Cicada’s Merciful Guidance.

Amongst all the 13 members of royalty, Cicada Song was the only one that was purely a support-type spirit qi professional.

Every one year of Merciful Cicada Songs would enable the target to replenish its soul power rapidly.

If Cicada Song was willing to give 23 years of Merciful Cicada Songs to the Moon Empress, it meant that he did not have any ill will.

Moreover, Cicada Song had also used the Alleviating Wind, which would reduce its user’s lifespan by a year each time it was used.

Now that Mystic Moon was calm, he could tell how much Cicada Song had sacrificed. If he was even willing to give up his own lifespan, there was no way he intended any harm to the Moon Empress.

But at the same time, he was shocked by Cicada Song’s power.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

In that split second, he had completely overwhelmed Mystic Moon.

This meant that Cicada Song had also taken that step and wielded power that was a cut above Mystic Moon’s own power.

Judging from the strength of the aura, Mystic Moon could be certain that Cicada Song was not as powerful as the Moon Empress. However, he was not far off.

Just as Mystic Moon was about to ask Cicada Song what he meant when he said that the Moon Empress no longer had any chances, the Moon Empress had traveled through the Moon Shadow Walkway to arrive at the inner palace.

She was carrying a small white rabbit and looked exactly the same as how she did on any other day.

When she saw Cicada Song suspended in the air, she said, “The errant gust of wind alleviated me. Cicada Song, you have improved significantly in the past few years.”

She had managed to make headway during the final strike and felt that she would be able to break through during her next attempt.

However, she also knew that her lifespan could not handle it.

Even if she used the Earth Center Fine Milk, she would not even have five years left.

The Earth Center Fine Milk could not be consumed carelessly. After one consumed a resource that could increase one’s lifespan, they would need time to digest it and allow it to take effect.

In fact, the person would need about three to four years to digest it, only to add one year to their lifespan.

Precious items like the Earth Center Fine Milk that could increase one’s lifespan were rare. But even if they were common, the Moon Empress would not be able to consume anything else to increase her lifespan in the three to four years after she used the Earth Center Fine Milk.

Her lifespan was set!

No matter how proud the Moon Empress was, she had no choice but to accept her fate. Hence, she felt that it would be best to leave the Earth Center Fine Milk for Lin Yuan.

During the tail end of the Moon Empress’ life, her only hope was to watch Lin Yuan grow slowly, become a Radiance Envoy, and achieve happiness.

If she could nurture Lin Yuan into a Radiance Envoy, it would be the most meaningful thing to contribute to the Radiance Federation at the end of her life as a member of royalty.

When she saw how worried Mystic Moon was, she explained softly, “Only Cicada Song and that old man know about my body’s condition. I can’t help that you found out from Cicada Song, but don’t tell Little Yuan and Cold Moon about this. I’m sure you can imagine how serious the impact will be if this piece of news gets out.”

The Moon Empress’ resolute tone made Mystic Moon swallow the words that had already formed in his throat.

He looked at the wooden box in his hands and said, “Moon Empress, Young Lord called you this afternoon. He has returned from the Divine Wood Federation. Why don’t I contact him now? I told him that I would inform him at once when you’re available.”

Mystic Moon felt that Lin Yuan was the only person on earth who would be able to talk sense into the Moon Empress.

Yet, the Moon Empress had forbidden him from telling Lin Yuan about this.

Usually, Mystic Moon would definitely have listened to the Moon Empress.

However, he would do anything if it meant that the Moon Empress would be able to live for another year.

Mystic Moon decided to tell Lin Yuan about this even if it meant that he would be reprimanded by the Moon Empress when she found out.
