Chapter 111
A few hundred meters above the clouds, a small wooden boat soared through the blue sky like a shooting star, fierce and easily missed if one as much as blinks their eyes .
And sitting on this wooden boat that gave off the impression of an Immortal's treasure were two young figures, a handsome young man with a young lady sitting beside him with her head resting on his shoulder intimately, looking like a couple on a love boat .
These two had been splitting the heavens with their speedy boat for two days straight now, yet neither of them opened their mouth to speak to one another after all this time .
However, despite the silence, neither of them showed any signs of awkwardness or displeasure with the stillness . As a matter of fact, one of the two was smiling gently, looking like a child during a blissful moment .
Suddenly, the young lady opened her eyes and spoke: "Father, I have a question . . . "
"What is it?"
Qiuyue turned to look at Su Yang, and with a curious gaze, she spoke: "How did you meet my mother?"
Hearing her question, Su Yang closed his eyes with a nonchalant expression .
"It was during the Moonlight Festival that is hosted by the Sacred Moon Temple every thousand years," he said a moment later, his voice filled with melancholy . "This was many thousand years before you were born . "
"The Moonlight Festival…" Qiuyue pondered .
The Moonlight Festival was a tradition in her family with the purpose of increasing their Bloodline, and they would host this grand event every thousand years .
Qiuyue herself had been chosen to participate in the Moonlight Festival, but because she ran away before she could participate the next one, she doesn't know much about it besides what was told to her by her mother, Yuehai .
"We had barely spoken to each other at the time, but that was the beginning of our relationship," said Su Yang, his expression filled with a feeling of nostalgia . And inside his head appeared the image of a young woman with profound similarities to the current Qiuyue standing in front of a large moon that illuminated her beauty by many folds .
"We wouldn't see each other again until a few hundred years later," he continued . "And she was on her deathbed at that time . "
"What?!" Qiuyue looked at him with disbelief clearly written on her face . Her mother was on her deathbed? How is that possible? There was never any signs of her ever being sick or injured to the point of dying .
"What happened to her? Why was she on her deathbed?" Qiuyue asked him .
Su Yang shook his head . "I will tell you when it is the right time," he said, refusing to tell her any more details .
" . . . "
Qiuyue was speechless . What is he not telling her? Why does the time have to be right? She really wanted to find out, but alas, knowing Su Yang, he definitely wouldn't tell her no matter how much she begged .
"Hmph… Then what do you love about my mother?" she showed an unpleasant expression before changing the question .
Su Yang smiled, and as his eyes flickered with a beautiful light, he spoke: "Everything— from her charismatic characteristics to the way she breathed . I loved her sharp gazes, her every graceful movement, her clear voice, her soft skin— everything . "
Qiuyue was slightly taken aback by Su Yang's seemingly endless praises for her mother . When she first learned of her mother's relationship with Su Yang, she almost didn't believe it because they never showed any indications that would suggest such an intimate relationship between them .
However, as baffled as she was by his expression, Qiuyue was also relieved to hear such words from him . In fact, she could even feel the vast affection Su Yang had for Yuehai just from his tone alone .
"I see…"
