The two of them stayed silent for the next few minutes. Li Ming was waiting patiently for him to answer her question while Lord Yueliang was deep in his thoughts.

He finally decided to answer her question but it only made Li Ming more suspicious about him.

"You are not prepared to know the answer for now. This Deity promise that I'll be the one to answer all your questions when the right time comes and when you will be completely prepared."

Li Ming scoffed at his "Not ready yet, not the right time" excuse. She hated it when she was left in dark but she was sure that no matter how much persuasion she would try on him, he's not gonna tell her anything.

"Whatever!" She mumbled in an indifferent tone as she rolled her eyes. Acting childish and bitchy? Maybe. But in her defense, she's still somewhat feeling high due to the poisonous drug and her mind was definitely not helping. It's still stuck on the matter that she's in the embrace of a very well built man and that her body was feeling things that a 14-year-old shouldn't even think about.

"Can you let me go now? I don't think you should be touching me in such a manner." Li Ming said coldly as she tried to get the arms around her waist to loosen a little bit.

Lord Yueliang broke into a light chuckle but didn't loosen his grip on her. After all, he wasn't touching any stranger. The girl in his arms was destined to be his.....to be theirs!

When Li Ming felt that the man was in no mood of letting her go, she sighed but stopped her futile attempts of getting out of the solid arms.

"Hey! I'm really tired and exhausted. I have lost so many brain cells today and my mind badly needs a break. The same goes for my body because it's completely out of energy. Moreover, if I will sleep now at least I'll be able to get three or four hours of sleep." Li Ming said in an exhausted tone. She was almost about to whine, almost!

"Alright. You should rest now. I'll be leaving too." Lord Yueliang said as he heard the tiredness in her voice. Though his hold only tightened around her. It was a miracle that by now Li Ming didn't end up breaking her midriff due to his tight hold.

The two jars filled with Pixie Dust came floating towards her and stopped in front of them.

With a flick of Lord Yueliang's sleeves, the jar was tightly closed with lids and was covered with a red silk cloth.

"All yours." He softly told her.

"Thank you for all your help. I'll try my best to repay your kindness in the future." Li Ming thanked him sincerely with a promise.

Only if she knew how much she's gonna regret that promise of hers in the future!

Lord Yueliang just nodded his head before he softly placed the index and middle finger of his right hand on her forehead. A blue light shone beneath his fingers barely for a second and the next second, Li Ming was lying asleep in his arms.

He picked up the girl bridal style in his arms and started moving towards the enormous lotus that had emerged out of the pond.

He placed her carefully on the soft surface of the flower. The two jars full of Blue Pixie Dust were also placed beside her carefully.

Lord Yueliang smiled at the sleeping girl who was looking so adorable. He took off his outer robe and carefully draped it over her small body. Making sure that she was completely covered and comfortable, he finally relaxed.

He had promised himself to not come in front of her before she's ready but it was hard for him to stay away from her.

Moreover seeing Zhang Yong and Ruoshan around her only made him desperate to meet her at least once.

He had somehow controlled himself but when he realized that she needed a Blue Moon, his inner self refused to listen to any excuse and just wanted to help her.

But he needed to stay away from her. He would only make her life more difficult. Though he knew the importance of distancing himself from her but he also knew that doing the same would be the most difficult thing.

"Don't worry Little One, though Zhang Yong is a complete idiot and Ruoshan is no better than him but those two will do anything for you. Moreover, I'll be always looking over you." He softly whispered as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

For the next few hours, he kept sitting there, caressing her hair softly.

Only when it was one hour before the sunrise, did he decided to leave. He placed his forehead against hers and inhaled her light honey and lilac scent.

His hands softly caressed her cheek for the last time as he bent down to place a soft feathery kiss on her forehead.

His deep cerulean eyes were full of longing and love. "The Moon has waited for millenniums for you. Don't make us wait for too long Little One." He softly whispered before he vanished from the Xiao Tiantang.

*************

When The Moon Deity returned to his manor, he wasn't expecting his three Junior Brothers to suddenly visit him out of blue.

The three of them were sitting under the same pavilion made of purple colored spiritual gathering stones where he and Ruoshan had a talk just a month ago.

The two youngest junior brothers were looking as usual and were busy in their intense game which he couldn't recognize. There was a board with gridded squares. A number of 'snakes' and 'ladders' were pictured on the board, each connecting two specific squares.

But when the Moon Deity turned towards his second Junior Brother, he was surprised to see that the Supreme Immortal was glaring daggers at him.

The Moon Deity sighed and took his seat on the opposite side of the table where the Supreme Immortal was sitting.

He knocked his knuckles a few times on the table to get the attention of the two troublemakers who finally put away that weird board and focused on him.

"What are the three of you doing here?" He asked softly as he poured wine in four cups and passed them to the other three while picking up his own to take a sip.

"Wine in the morning?" Zhang Yong asked with raised eyebrows.

"If you don't want to drink it then give it to The Supreme Immortal. Looking at him I don't think he would have any problem with drinking wine this early in the morning." Ruoshan said as he emptied his cup in one go.

Well, he's now used to drink from the big glasses thanks to Li Ming. These cups felt too small for him.

Zhang Yong shrugged and followed Ruoshan. Drinking the entire wine of the small cup in one go.

"Now back to my question. What are you guys doing here?" Ruoshan asked again when the two stopped their antics.

"The two of us have been dragged here by a specific Deity who has definitely lost his sanity." Zhang Yong replied as he poured himself another cup of wine.

"No one can make the two of you do something you don't want to do. Don't try to fool me." Lord Yueliang said as he shook his head.

"You know us the best First Senior Brother. Then let's just say that I don't want to miss the chance of seeing my favorite Third brother backing down for the first time in his entire immortal life." Zhang Yong said with a smirk as he eyed The Supreme Immortal who was now glaring his precious daggers at him.

Oh, how much he enjoyed making him (Supreme Immortal) lose his control!

"Why? What happened?" Lord Yueliang asked the two since the person who was the talk of the morning was too busy in glaring at random things, people, and places to answer any question.

"He was trying to find out who was the person responsible behind the sudden disappearance of the Godly Maple Tree and just say that he succeeded," Ruoshan said with a small twitch of his lips.

"We tried our best to keep him from finding about her but he just never listens and now see!" Zhang Yong said with a shake of his head. But then he noticed his three Senior brothers staring at him with raised eyebrows.

He scoffed at them as he said, "Fine! I'll take it back. I actually wanted him to find about her sooner. It's just he is too slow when it comes to important matters!"

That ended up with him receiving another cold glare. Who cares? He's used to them by now. They were like passing breeze for him.

"So, when are you going to meet our destined one?" Lord Yueliang asked the Supreme Immortal.

The other two were also looking at him, waiting for his answer.

"Soon. Very soon."
