ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 18

When Sword Immortal Yue Hua saw Fairy Mo Qing’s determination, his expression darkened and a grim look flashed through his eyes.

He believed that Fairy Mo Qing should definitely know his intentions!

However, for so many years, this junior sister had always been indifferent to him and merely maintained the politeness as a fellow sect mate. There was no chance for their relationship to advance at all.

When Sword Immortal Yue Hua thought of Mo Qing’s personality, he was in no hurry and did not force her.

However, over the years, the rumors about Fairy Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu had long spread everywhere, causing Sword Immortal Yue Hua to be vexed.

His patience gradually disappeared as well.

He did not want to wait any longer!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua turned around and stood in front of Fairy Mo Qing. He looked at her affectionately and said gently, “Junior sister, over the years, there have been many bad rumors about you in the outside world. I’m extremely angry and my heart aches for you.”

“There’s a way to resolve this matter.”

“As long as we implore our master to step in and facilitate our marriage as Dao companions, we’ll announce it to the world and send invitations. Naturally, we’ll be able to clear your name and those rumors will be dispelled.”

Fairy Mo Qing smiled gently. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother Yue Hua. However, there’s no need for that.”

“I rarely go out and I specialize in my painting Dao in the mountains and rivers. No matter how many rumors there are in the outside world, I don’t care. I’m innocent.”

Fairy Mo Qing had made her intentions extremely clear.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was proud. It was already rare for him to take the initiative to express his intentions. Now that he was rejected, it was naturally not good for him to continue pestering.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was silent for a moment before suddenly asking coldly, “Junior sister, are you really heading to Avici for the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting?”

“Of course.”

Fairy Mo Qing was slightly surprised and asked, “What else do you think, Senior Brother Yue Hua?”

“Fufu…”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua turned to look at the forest in the distance and smiled mockingly, saying casually, “Nothing much.”

“Since you’ve already made up your mind and I can’t persuade you further, I can only wish you a safe return.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua cupped his fists and said another sentence before flicking his sleeves to leave expressionlessly.

Fairy Mo Qing looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s back view and sighed internally.

Although she was naive, she could sense Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s intentions.

However, she had always only regarded Sword Immortal Yue Hua as a senior brother of the same sect.

Now that she rejected Senior Brother Yue Hua, he must be extremely sad and disappointed.

At that thought, Fairy Mo Qing felt conflicted as well.

“Little Butterfly, did I do something wrong?”

Fairy Mo Qing lowered her head slightly and murmured, “Perhaps Senior Brother Yue Hua is the person I’m destined to be with. Perhaps I should become his Dao companion. Actually, Senior Brother Yue Hua is not a bad person either…”

“He’s bad! He’s a hypocrite!”

Little Butterfly’s voice was crisp with a hint of disdain. “Even though he knew that you were heading to Avici, he did not dare to travel with you.”

“If someone truly cares about you, why would they let you head to a dangerous place alone?”

Fairy Mo Qing shook her head gently. “It’s not his fault. We’re only from the same sect after all. How can I let others take the risk for me?”

“In any case, this person isn’t good!”

Little Butterfly said crisply.

After a moment of silence, Fairy Mo Qing gazed into the distance with a lost expression and asked softly, “What is love? Why can’t I sense it?”

“You’re obsessed with paintings everyday and rarely interact with others. Naturally, you can’t feel the love and affection of the mortal world.”

Seemingly experienced, Little Butterfly said, “If you travel more and meet more cultivators, you’ll definitely be able to meet someone you like.”

“Someone I like?”

Fairy Mo Qing tilted her head slightly in confusion.

She had only liked mountains, rivers, plants and paintings. However, she had never liked anyone and did not know what it felt like.

“It means someone who can move your heart.”

Little Butterfly explained, “If you can meet someone that makes your heart skip a beat and you miss him day and night, that’s because you like him.”

Fairy Mo Qing recalled carefully. Up till this point of her cultivation, she had truly not met anyone who could move her heart.

However, there were many paintings that moved her.

“Little Butterfly, do you have anyone you like? How do you know so much?”

Fairy Mo Qing asked with a smile.

“I don’t.”

Little Butterfly replied, “I only heard about these from others as well…”

Fairy Mo Qing smiled and chatted with Little Butterfly for a while, feeling much better.

Normally, she lived and cultivated alone without any immortal servants.

She was also used to being alone and liked the feeling of silence.

Over the years, with Little Butterfly’s company, although it was a little noisier, she smiled much more as well.

“By the way, Little Butterfly, there’s something you haven’t explained to me.”

Fairy Mo Qing asked reproachfully, “Why do you keep coming to the inner sect for no reason?”

After she saved this Ice Butterfly, she was cold to everyone and kept strangers at bay.

However, there was one inner sect disciple she did not resist.

It was said that the inner sect disciple had already been accepted as an in-name disciple by her master. Once he entered the Perfected One realm, he could join her master as her junior brother.

“There’s an aura about that person that feels very familiar…”

Little Butterfly said hesitantly.

“You’ve grown a liking for him, huh?”

Fairy Mo Qing asked jokingly.

“No!”

Little Butterfly explained hurriedly, “That person has an aura that’s extremely similar to a Demon Empress of our race. It’s very strange!”

“Demon Empress?”

Fairy Mo Qing was surprised.

Only Emperor experts of the demon race could become Demon Emperors and Empresses!

Those were high and mighty existences that stood at the peak of the upper sect—how could they be related to a single inner sect disciple?

Furthermore, these were Emperor experts of the demon race that were far away in the Great Wilderness.

“That Demon Empress is the pride of our race and is the expert I respect, admire and idolize the most! I’m even willing to die for her!”

At the mention of this Demon Empress, Little Butterfly’s eyes shone with a fanatical glint and she was incomparably proud.

“Every single Emperor expert will be respected by their clansmen.”

Fairy Mo Qing nodded.

“No!”

Little Butterfly shook her head. “She’s different from the other Emperors! She’s the pride and hope of our race… in fact, the entire demon race!”

For some reason, Little Butterfly seemed extremely emotional at the mention of this Demon Empress.

“Our butterfly race is incomparably weak from the moment of our birth.”

Little Butterfly said, “Although some butterflies with powerful bloodlines such as the Butterfly Sovereign lineage appeared during this period of time, they still can’t fight against other living beings.”

Fairy Mo Qing was no stranger to these things.

The butterfly race was indeed the weakest race and was far inferior to the human race.

Little Butterfly continued, “However, this Demon Empress singlehandedly changed the status of our butterfly race among the ten thousand races, allowing us to occupy a place in the Great Wilderness and even the upper world!”

“As long as this Demon Empress of our race is around, the butterfly race will never be a weak race!”

Fairy Mo Qing opened her mouth slightly with a shocked expression.

Indeed, the other Emperors could not be compared to someone who could singlehandedly change the status of a race within the ten thousand races!
