Chapter 375 Night Chasing

"Chang'e, from ancient mythology."

"Identity: Moon Goddess!"

"Cultivation: First level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"

"Technique: Taiyin Divine Art!"

"Divine Ability: Moonlight Radiance!"

"Loyalty: 89 (out of 100)!"

The first level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

Qin Jun widened his eyes, clearly surprised by Chang'e's strength. He couldn't help but ask, "Is Chang'e really this strong?"

"Chang'e is the daughter of Emperor Ku, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors from ancient times. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors here are figures from mythology," the system explained.

In history, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were certainly just ordinary people, but in mythology, they were undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Qin Jun's understanding of Chang'e was still stuck at being the wife of Hou Yi and the descriptions in Journey to the West. Some people joked that Chang'e was the mistress of the Jade Emperor, and Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal realm for teasing Chang'e, ending up as a pig fetus, which was truly pitiful.

Of course, there were also conspiracy theories, saying that the conflict between Marshal Tianpeng and Chang'e was just a show, and the purpose was to successfully integrate Marshal Tianpeng into the team on the journey to the West.

Qin Jun suddenly noticed that Chang'e's attributes did not indicate her origin from Journey to the West, but from ancient mythology.

This was worth pondering.

Although Chang'e's strength had not been revealed, the fact that she could make Marshal Tianpeng suffer a loss, coupled with her being the daughter of Emperor Ku, meant that her natural talent was not lacking. After practicing on the moon for countless years, reaching the first level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm was also quite normal.

"Why doesn't she summon Hou Yi as well?" Qin Jun couldn't help but fantasize. The archer Hou Yi must be very strong.

"Hou Yi is too strong. If he is connected to Chang'e, the host may not be able to handle it. Also, due to the fact that there is no fate between Hou Yi and Chang'e, the system has completely separated the two in parallel time and space. Here, Chang'e is still replaced by the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West and endures eternal loneliness on the moon," the system explained.

Qin Jun suddenly realized that there were many versions of the story of Hou Yi and Chang'e. Some said that Chang'e wanted to become an immortal and took the elixir to ascend, while others said that Chang'e was deceived by the Queen Mother of the West and mistakenly consumed the elixir. There were also stories of Hou Yi having an affair with the wife of the River Deity, causing Chang'e to ascend in anger. The stories were varied.

It is worth mentioning that before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no evidence or literature to prove that Hou Yi and Chang'e were related. It was only in various literary works after that period that they were paired together.

Since Chang'e was so strong, how much stronger would Hou Yi, who was even stronger than her, and whom the system dared not connect with her, be?

"Never mind, having one Chang'e is enough. It's enough to have one strong figure at the first level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm," Qin Jun sighed, shaking his head. After the initial excitement faded, he was more looking forward to Hou Yi than Chang'e.

By the way, is Chang'e considered single now?

Qin Jun's eyes lit up, and he quickly recited, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

It seemed that in the future, he would have to let Daji enter the divine and demonic realm, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to suppress Chang'e.

Qin Jun began to practice swordsmanship while thinking about it.

...

As night fell, Qin Jun and the others were sitting in the courtyard having dinner. The oil lamp in the corner illuminated the entire courtyard. Ordinary cultivators would usually abstain from eating three meals a day, but Qin Jun continued this tradition, and the ingredients he ate were all spiritual, luxurious and harmless.

Daji, You Fenghuang, Xiao Li, Wang Xue, and Qin Jun sat at one table, while the others sat at different tables.

"Come, have some vegetables."

Qin Jun kept serving Wang Xue vegetables, making Xiao Li pout and grumble, "Qin Jun is biased!"

At this, Qin Jun had to serve her some vegetables as well.

Daji rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty must be thinking about how to coax Wang Xue into bed!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xue's face instantly turned red, and the moonlight shining on her silver hair made her look as beautiful as a moon goddess.

Qin Jun said firmly, "Nonsense, I just want to be good to her."

"Hehe!" Daji and You Fenghuang both looked disbelieving.

Xiao Li seemed to think of something and started to smile foolishly, making Wang Xue wish she could find a hole to hide in.

"Hey, what's that?"

At that moment, You Fenghuang pointed to the night sky and exclaimed, causing Qin Jun and the others to turn and look.

In the night sky filled with countless stars, a meteor streaked across, shining brightly and even making the night sky appear brighter.

Qin Jun blinked. The light was so dazzling. Who was showing off?

"Ding! Triggering a side quest—Descent of the Moon Goddess! Quest details: Chang'e descends from the heavens. The host must find her within five days. Once the host approaches her, she will awaken. If the quest is successful, Chang'e's loyalty will increase, and the host will receive a random draw. If the quest fails, Chang'e's loyalty may decrease, and there is even a possibility of defection!"

The system's prompt suddenly sounded, leaving Qin Jun dumbfounded.

Damn it!

What kind of quest was this?

Qin Jun was unwilling to let Chang'e leave him, after all, she was a figure at the first level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

"Could that shooting star be Chang'e?"

Qin Jun asked in his mind and then called out to Nezha, "Nezha, come with me for a few days!"

As he spoke, he flew off, gathering clouds and mist under his feet. Although Nezha was puzzled, he obediently stood up and followed.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Daji quickly asked.

Qin Jun turned back and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, just a few days!"

As he spoke, he flew towards the direction of the shooting star, with Nezha following closely behind.

The others looked at each other in confusion, all wearing puzzled expressions. Li Yuanba muttered, "He must be going to battle, otherwise, why would he bring Nezha?"

His words made Daji and the other four women even more worried, while Yuan Hong and the others secretly cursed, "This foolish boy really doesn't know how to speak."

...

Whoosh—

Qin Jun and Nezha were flying at high speed on the clouds, with a meteor streaking across the sky above them.

"Your Majesty, why are we chasing it?" Nezha couldn't help but ask. It was late at night, and he wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"It's a matter of great importance!" Qin Jun glared at him. He had decided not to reveal the truth until they encountered Chang'e, to avoid any difficult explanations.

How did he know there was a person hidden in the meteor?

How did he calculate that Chang'e was very powerful?

These were complicated questions to explain, so he simply chose not to explain.

"Can you lock onto its direction?" Qin Jun pointed to the meteor in the night sky and asked. Nezha was currently controlling the clouds, so their flying speed was extremely fast.

"I should be able to, but its speed is too fast. I can't be sure how far it will fly," Nezha frowned.

In other words, the meteor might fly out of the Southern Domain.

Qin Jun cursed the system silently. Why did it have to make Chang'e appear in this way?

Unfortunately, the system didn't explain, so he could only grit his teeth and chase after her. It wasn't easy to summon a powerful expert at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, especially a goddess.

If Chang'e was abducted by someone else, Qin Jun would definitely be furious.

Whoosh—

The two of them flew at high speed on the clouds, sweeping over the trees below, and the wind they stirred up blew the leaves into a frenzy. [End of this chapter]
