Chapter 980: Everlasting Moon Couple’s Past (9)

The news about the Regal Lei Clan’s royal family coming to the Everlasting Moon Empire to propose a marriage spreads in the Inner haven like a wind. Even before the Regal Lei Clan had come over to the Everlasting Moon Empire, both empires were too famous for the whole Inner Haven to ignore. Because of this, a lot of admirers from both sides cannot do anything about the two Ancient Clan. The fact that Lei Yuya had pushed through this proposal meant that he is willing to get married into the family of the Yue Clan. No one had actually believed that he was willing to do this until the Regal Lei Clan had actually arrived at the Everlasting Moon Empire’s doorstep and announced openly that he wanted to propose to the Moon Princess.

The entourage brought by the First Prince of the Regal Lei Clan, Lei Yuya, had caught everyone’s attention. It didn’t take long for the whole Immortal Realm to know about it. Once this kind of news spread in the whole realm, most men believe that the proud Lightning Prince is a lovestruck fool who was willing to give up his own clan’s family name, his position as the family heir and his reputation just to get the woman he loves. While the man believes he is a fool. The women felt he was a gentleman and a romantic. They felt extreme jealousy towards the Moon Princess, questioning how she could be so lucky to marry someone like the lightning prince.

At the gates of the Moon Palace...

A long group of people with a royal carriage leading had gathered, even before the main carriage had reached the gates, a voice coming from the first carriage echoed in the whole area.

{I, the Lightning Emperor, come to the Everlasting Moon Palace to propose a marriage between my Lei Empire’s first prince and the Moon Princess of the Everlasting Moon Empire. Asking the Ancient Moon Clan to open the gates if you agree to this proposal between the two children!}

The voice of the current Lightning Emperor, Lei Yuhuang, had spread in the whole Everlasting Moon Empire that even the commoners of the Moon Empire had heard this announcement. On this day, this is the first time everyone in the empire had come out of their house watching the excitement from the two ancient families. With one proposing and the other willing to accept.

The gates of the Moon Palace remained closed as the guards didn’t know whether to open the gates or not. Moreover there is still a need to pretend that the two Ancient Clans don’t get along well for the other ancient clans to see, so the current Everlasting Moon Emperor didn’t speak up right away. Making them special guests outside for half an incense.

The Lightning Emperor, Lei Yuhuang’s voice resounds once again, {Old man stop pretending to be deaf! Open the gates for this old man!}

{No one will take you as a mute if you don’t shut up! Don’t you think this old man is ignoring you as an answer? What if I don’t agree with this proposal!?} retorted the Everlasting Moon Emperor, Yue Zhiyan.

Emperor Lei Yuhuang rebukes, {You are not the one getting the proposal! How can you reject this without asking your daughter! You old fool! If your daughter beats you upon learning that you didn’t allow her man to enter the house, I will help her!}

{Shut up! Who are you calling an old fool!?} Emperor Yue Zhiyan shouted back, only then did he command the guards to open the door. {Open the gates and welcome the guests!}

It was only after this command was given that the guards at the gates finally pushed open by the people and let the entourage brought by the Lightning Empire to enter the premises of the Moon Palace. However, as soon as they passed through the gates, a defensive formation that not only blocks information but also prevents people from seeing what is happening inside had activated. It was only when the whole group brought by the Lightning Emperor had entered that the formation was fully activated and the spies from the other families can no longer listen to the conversation of the two emperors.

At the main entrance of the Moon Palace, the group of royal guards led by Yue Zhiyan himself was waiting for the guests to arrive. The moment the Lightning Emperor and his eldest son had descended from the first carriage, the two emperor realm cultivators were staring at each other while using their aura to suppress the other making the atmosphere between them as tense as usual.

"Alright, Lao Lei, the formation is activated. No one from the outside can see what is happening inside the palace right now. Stop pretending," said Moon Emperor Yue Zhiyan.

Once the two suppressing auras disappeared the expression of the two emperors changed from unfriendly to a smiling one.

"Lao Yue, you better bring out that precious Moon Nectar you promised me the last time. It’s been a few thousands years and it should taste the best right now. Moreover, we have to celebrate," said Lei Yuhuang as he suddenly appeared beside Yue Zhiyan and sling his arm around his shoulder like good old friends.

Yue Zhiyan sighed, "If you want to drink, go dig it yourself. You had buried it in the past, you can now take it away. Did you truly think that our garden is a place for your wines to ferment?"

"Come on~, you know how many drunkards there are in my place. Burying one wouldn’t even last the next day before it was stolen by someone. Your garden is the safest place to hide my wine," said Lei Yuhuang.

While the two emperors were getting along so well, everyone else was dumbfounded. After all, it was well-known that these two men had never gotten along and would always fight whenever they met each other outside. Now seeing them act like good friends and even had a good relationship like brothers, everyone was left speechless. Such a rare scene if they didn’t see their own emperors smiling at each other, they would have thought of this as an illusion.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor’s eyes landed on Lei Yuya which made the young man flinch and nervous at the same time. He immediately clasped his hands towards the Moon Emperor and greeted the esteemed one before him.

"Junior Lei Yuya greets Uncle Yue!"

Yue Zhiyan looked at his childhood friend and said, "You told everything to your son?"

"Of course! Why else would I drag him here?" Lei Yuhuang said. "Forget about him. I will go and dig my wines first then let’s have a drinking competition all night~"

Whooshed~

The Lightning Emperor disappeared on the spot. His speed is beyond human but it was not teleportation, he is simply using lightning to move as fast as it. Lei Yuya felt nervous when he saw his father disappear. Facing his proxy father-in-law, he can only wait for the latter to speak to him first before moving.

"Alright. I accepted your greeting. Since you came here to propose, saying words to this old man is useless. Go find my daughter and ask her yourself. As long as you can convince her to marry you then your engagement will be official. If Li’er doesn’t agree that means you two didn’t fit much."

The Everlasting Moon Emperor shooed the Lightning Prince and left to find his friend. He cannot leave that idiot to destroy his plum garden by digging randomly for his wines. Watching the Moon Emperor’s departure, the first prince of the Regal Lei Clan didn’t know what to do next. This place wasn’t even their territory and he didn’t know if their clan had an authority to move freely around in this place. Feeling a bit out of place, he was saved when the current Moon Empress, Su Hialun appeared, sighing.

"Those two haven’t changed at all. Xiao Ya, just ignored those two old men," the Everlasting Moon Empress, Su Hialun said upon arriving in the area.

Lei Yuya immediately greeted the Moon Empress who appeared, "Junior Lei Yuya greets Aunt Su!"

The Moon Empress pats the young prince’s shoulder gently and said, "Li’er had been waiting. That is the direction to Moon Pavilion where Li’er lives. Leave the rest of the things for me to handle."

"Thank you, Aunt Su! Please excuse me," said the Lightning Prince.

Following the direction the Everlasting Moon Empress had pointed, Lei Yuya had headed to the direction. As for the entourage that was left behind, Su Hialun had let the servants of the Moon Palace to handle and entertain them. Of course, all of the betrothal gifts were first piled up at the receiving hall. It would only enter the warehouse once the Lightning Prince had successfully done his proposal and that the Moon Princess had agreed. No one knew what the result would be until Lei Yuya had met Yue Lili and proposed as he planned. The adults had also let the children make their own decisions. After all, what comes after the proposal and marriage is a life two people will share and not something that involves the parents afterwards.
