Chapter 981: Everlasting Moon Couple’s Past (10)

As the Lightning Prince from the Regal Lei Clan had left to find his beloved, the two old men who were watching from the shadows were sitting together at the Plum Garden’s pavilion with the stone table filled with recently dug wine. There are even two to three holes left in the garden of fully blossomed plum flowering trees. Two Emperors now acting like two old men watching their children waiting for them to get worried with unlimited blessing in their eyes.

Tap!

"Lao Yue, though I already know this would happen, now that it’s happening I have never expected that the Marriage contract we had never completed would be fulfilled by our children," said the Lightning Emperor.

Emperor Lei Yuhuang had already drunk half a jar of the High-grade wine, Moon Nectar and had already started talking nonsense. Emperor Yue Zhiyan was drinking more calmly than him yet his face was colder than glaciers as if he wanted to keep his face devoid of emotions. Unfortunately, which father would be happy knowing that his daughter is being taken away by a man. He is thankful that the son-in-law his daughter had chosen was someone who will live with them.

The Moon Emperor said, "It was also okay if my Li’er just decided to be unmarried. I can support her until the end."

"You can’t do that, brother~" Lei Yuhuang said. "We’ve also made an oath that we cannot interfere with our children’s marriage fate. We cannot stop them and we cannot get involved."

Sigh~

"To defy the heavens, this is something we can’t do right now. Wait for us to reach the Great Emperor realm or better the Tribulation realm to try," said the Lightning Emperor.

The Moon Emperor said, "Your son... does he truly like my Li’er?"

"Yes, definitely. Even before he heard about the arranged marriage between our clans, I’ve asked him if he is willing to give up everything for your daughter and he agreed without hesitation," said Lei Yuhuang. "Yuya is definitely serious about your daughter. Lao Yue, don’t worry anymore."

"I understand. I just can’t help but worry," said Yue Zhiyan.

At the palace where the Moon Princess is living...

It was a separate palace located surrounded by a flower garden. It was surrounded with a wisteria tree garden with a pond and immortal fruit orchard. It was such a dreamy place which is loved by ladies. The Lightning Prince, Lei Yuya walked through this frontyard garden and finally arrived near the small palace and heard the sound of zither playing nearby. The sound the echoes in the area sounds serene yet at the same time a bit melancholic. As if playing a tune of sad remembrance, something lingering, with yearning, and willingness to let go.

Lei Yuya followed the sound and found the Moon Princess as the wooden luxurious pavilions. The sound of wind chimes mixing with the music of the zither was unbelievably beautiful. The first prince of the Regal Lei Clan was dumbfounded by the scene that had welcomed them. A fairy in white robes with gold phoenix and moon pattern seated on the wooden pavilion with a white zither in front of her strumming the strings in the musical instrument in tranquility. The Lightning Prince listened quietly until the sounds died down.

The moment the sounds had stopped the cold faced fairy with an extremely gorgeous face finally looked in the direction where Lei Yuya stood. The eyes of the Lightning Prince and the Moon Goddess met once again. Like before their eyes lingers and that unexpected connection can once again be felt. The silence was cut off when the Moon Princess averted her eyes first and said,

"You are here. Have you come for a visit? Why are you here?" The Moon Princess, Yue Lili asked. She once again starts strumming the zither.

Her slightly cold and aloof voice echoes in the area, sounding so composed but Lei Yuya had noticed something else, he saw that Yue Lili’s on the top of the zither strings slightly trembles which made the following sounds coming from the zither sounds slower for a half a beat. Seeing her this nervous, the Lightning Prince couldn’t help but smile a little which eventually made the sounds die down completely.

The Lightning Prince, Lei Yuya spoke, "Li’er, I’ve come to propose to you. I accept all the conditions you had said before and marry into the Ancient Yue Clan. Also, I’ve brought my dad for an official proposal."

The moment this sentence was spoken, a rare face surprise appeared on the Moon Princess and a slightly harsh sound coming from the zither echoed in the area. The Moon Princess was so shocked that she stood from where she was. The scene of a man coming over to her palace after pursuing her for a long time would always end up with words saying if she is willing to take back the oath she had made and only then they would be willing to marry her. It had happened multiple times and the Moon Princess’s heart had turned cold from the repeated scenes of men asking her to accept the punishment of the heavens and that they were all willing to protect her.

However, that wasn’t what she wanted to happen. The Moon Princess is a man who is willing to give up everything for her and live in this small palace with her and finally have their own family together. Yue Lili had dreamt of the scene of her beloved coming over to propose to her and then finally get a happy family of her own. This dream was something she had always had in her heart. After this scene being repeatedly destroyed, the Moon Princess had stopped this yearning for this dream. When the Lightning Prince came over, she thought that another repeat of that collective scene would once again happen. What she didn’t expect was for that buried dream of her to become reality at this moment.

Lei Yuya stood near the stunned Yue Lili and gently took her hands into his. He was very careful, gentle yet with silent determination.

"I do not know if I can make everything you want into reality. However, my love for you is real and I am willing to give up everything in me for your sake. My position as the prince, the throne of my clan and live in this small courtyard together with you." The Lightning Prince said. "Yue Lili, are you willing to be with me, Lei Yuya? Will you marry me?"

The Moon Princess was stunned that she looked at the Lightning Prince in disbelief. She thought that she was still dreaming. Lei Yuya had truly come over to her home to propose marriage, accepted her conditions for the spouse and is willing to give up his life as a prince just to be with her. It felt so unreal that it left the Moon Princess dumbfounded for a while. Only when Yue Lili grips at the warmth that holds her hands does her cold face crack and tears start to fall. This left even Lei Yuya in panic.

He gently reaches out his sleeves to wipe the silent tears of the Moon Princess. Seeing her tears, Lei Yuya finally realized what kind of knot Yue Lili has in her heart.

"Lili, don’t cry." He whispers with a soft voice.

This comforting voice just made it worse and finally the supposed to be cold goddess had broken down at this moment. She started crying so loudly as she hugged the first prince in front of her.

She whispers with desperation, happiness and finally relief.

"I am willing. I will marry you," said Yue Lili.

With the proposal successful, those who were quietly watching in the dark were now happily celebrating. The next time the couple had appeared before their parents was at the evening banquet where the Moon Princess and the Lightning Prince had come together hand and hand. The Everlasting Moon Empress had welcomed them with a smile and the two emperors staring at them with approval on their faces. This was the beginning of everything and also the origin of the current generation of the Yue family.

As soon as the proposal was approved, the Ancient Moon Clan and the Regal Lei Clan immediately announced to the whole Immortal World about the successful union between the Moon Princess and the Lightning Prince. This left almost everyone dumbfounded. Everyone in the Inner Haven knew about the condition for the spouse of the Moon Princess and this person required to not only be more powerful than she is but also someone who is willing to marry into their family. It was such a harsh condition that made almost all men turn away from the beautiful moon princess. They had always believed that no powerful man would be willing to do such a thing. Now as if their faces were slapped so cleanly and loud, the impossible became possible. The wedding of the century between two ancient clans had happened which created a great shift of power within the Inner haven of the Immortal World.
