Chapter 942: Stay where you are!
Gulps~
Still questioning reality, Wu Yao couldn’t help but ask his disciple what kind of pills he was giving away like candy. He couldn’t help but dragged away his disciple after seeing that the little one had once again fallen asleep. There is no way he would mistake what kind of pills his beloved disciple had given away. That’s a Longevity Pill, not an ordinary pill but a Divine grade Pill that is rare even in this world. Something those old monsters would have fought with their lives on line just to get one.
Wu Yao said, "Xue’er, if I am seeing it right, those are hundred percent purity Longevity Pills. Is it alright for you to give such a precious thing away?"
"This is something the little one needs the most right now, Master. This little one is your Life Gu. I don’t know where you get it. But it is all thanks to this little one burning his essence that you have lasted this long without falling into the effects of the Blood Seed Curse that was placed on you. This little thing is your savior, Master. Compared to your life no matter how rare Longevity Pills are, it’s worth it!" The Moon Goddess said. "Moreover, there is nothing more useful as food for this little one than this pill. Don’t worry. I can make more if it runs out."
It was only now that Wu Yao had understood why Yue Xuexia was willing to give away such a precious pill to the little guy. Because right now, the only way for the little one to survive is to feed on things that would replenish his used vitality and vitality equates to lifespan. This Longevity Pill was the best food for it to survive.
Suddenly, Shen Jueyang, who took his time to calm down, appeared at the door carrying a small medicine pot in his hand and said, "Xue’er, the medicine had been cooked."
Wu Yao and Shen Jueyang looked at one another. They couldn’t recognize each other but felt that they wouldn’t like each other as much as others. As the former felt that this brat that suddenly appeared in his house calling his beloved disciple in such an intimate way was not a good man. While the Immortal Sun Emperor felt that this old man would be more annoying than Uncle Yue or the Immortal Thunder Emperor when it comes to guarding him when it comes to Yue Xuexia. Without the Moon Goddess noticing an invisible spark between the two men were now being exchanged above her head.
Yue Xuexia said, "Master, let’s move to the living room. You still need to drink your medicine and I need to check you again."
"Alright. Let’s move to the living room," Wu Yao said while being supported by his disciple.
The Moon Goddess looked at the Immortal Sun Emperor gesturing towards him to follow them. Then she turned her head to look at the puppet maids and said, "Two of you will stay here to watch over the little one. Protect him and bring him over to us once he wakes up."
"Yes, Mistress!" The puppet maids said while the rest of the maid followed their group of three to the living room.

In the living room, the puppet maid served some tea and snacks while the Moon Goddess was checking the pulse of Wu Yao who had just woken up from his deep slumber. She had this serious expression on her face as she spread her qi all over the body of her master and noticed a few ailments that the Sacred Healing cannot heal. Like his missing vitality, weakening of his soul as well as the fatigue his mental health had suffered all these years. So much that it affects his heart. Since it’s a psychological problem, the Sacred healing which can restore almost all injuries cannot fully cure it.
"Master, drink your medicine. Tomorrow, I will make a medicinal bath for you to heal your soul. Your soul injuries aren’t that bad, but it would take a whole month for it to completely heal. Until then don’t use your cultivation. For your missing vitality, I would need to create a medicinal diet for you made of spirit food. I will cook in your place at weekend. During weekdays, I will get people to send your meal over," Yue Xuexia said.
Wu Yao’s face turned into that of a sulking old man as he asked, "Are you not going to stay at the academy, Xue’er?"
"In three months I won’t. I need to teach Alchemy at the Pill Tower for the Alchemy Battle against the Wu Clan. They wanted to take over the Pill Tower, but that cannot be allowed as that place is mine," Yue Xuexia said.
Hearing that the Core Region is involved, especially the Wu Clan, Wu Yao’s expression turned serious.
He said, "Though I know the obsession of the Wu Clan to Alchemy, I’ve never thought they would want to take over the Pill Tower. That is the late Divine Doctor’s last sanctuary. They’ve lost their minds just for someone’s legacy! Wait a minute! Since you said that the Pill Tower is yours. Doesn’t that mean that you..."
"I am this era’s Divine Doctor, Master. Thanks to that I was able to save you," said the Goddess of the Moon.
For some unknown reason, Wu Yao looked surprised but his gaze had moved to the young man who was seated on the same sofa set at them. The Immortal Sun Emperor, as if clearing the disbelief on Wu Yao’s mind, gave him a helpless smile and a nod. Something only those who wanted to protect Yue Xuexia only to be burdened by all kinds of identities she has which made them feel a bit too overwhelmed.
Wu Yao looked like he was about to cry as he looked above him murmuring, "I’ve just woken up but for some reason I have a feeling of being even more busy than I am supposed to be."
"Hm? What do you mean, Master?" Yue Xuexia asked, looking confused.
She couldn’t understand the hidden conversation between her master and Shen Jueyang. The Moon Goddess ignored her master’s strangeness and gave him an acupuncture to allow the flow of his qi to become smoother and gave him some nature energy to amplify his life force. Though these things only have temporary effects, it made Wu Yao feel even more comfortable even though some ailments were still unresolved in his body.
After doing all these, Yue Xuexia stood up and said, "I’m going to cook dinner now. If Hei Yu and Su Kan arrive, just send them straight to the kitchen, Jueyang."
"Why did those two fools come over?" Shen Jueyang asked.
The Moon Goddess nonchalantly answers, "They come to watch the fun and I send them out to do the groceries."
"Heh~ Two idiots who can’t sit still. Do you need help, Xue’er?" The Immortal Sun Emperor asked.
Yue Xuexia retorted, "Do you want to burn my Master’s kitchen?"
Silence descended and even Shen Jueyang didn’t have anything to retort at those words. The fact that he had burned the kitchen multiple times is a black history, the Immortal Sun Emperor would never be able to erase in the mind of his beloved.
He murmurs, "I’m good at grilling though~"
"That’s why you can only cook when we are out for a picnic. Alright, if you are bored just play chess with my Master. I will call for you once the cooking is all finished," said Yue Xuexia as she left an ancient chess board on the living room table making the old man and the young man look at it and then at each other.
Though they had only met today officially, they had the feeling that they would be seeing each other more often. So a proper conversation between them must be done. Shen Jueyang doesn’t dare to belittle this old man in front of him. Just the fact that he is Yue Xuexia’s master, made him a senior he can never disrespect even though he is a lot stronger than him. The two start moving the pieces ready to play the game.
Wu Yao asked, "Who are you, brat? What is your relationship with my disciple?"
"Answering to the master, my name is Shen Jueyang, the same generation as Xue’er. You might know me as the Immortal Sun Emperor. I am Yue Xuexia’s... man."
At first, Wu Yao was flabbergasted when he heard that this young man before him was the infamous tyrant, the Immortal Sun Emperor who had recently reincarnated. But his next words had made him explode in rage on the spot that he slammed his hand on the game board.
Thud!
"Nonsense! How can you be my disciple’s man!? I don’t agree!" Wu Yao exclaimed.
Shen Jueyang retorted, "Old man, that’s your concern!?"
"Of course it is. Even if you are an emperor you cannot just spread rumors that you are my disciple’s man! Impossible, you didn’t even ask for this old man’s permission and you wanted to be the dao companion of Xue’er! The nerve! So shameless!" Wu Yao said while looking around for something he can use to hit this insolent brat.
This familiar feeling is familiar, when he had first met Yue Xuexia’s father, Yue Yuya and her uncle, Lei Yuye. Even though they didn’t directly chase after him with a weapon, the pressure on their words is similar to this. But this old man is different, he didn’t have any power to pressure him with only seniority that comes from being Yue Xuexia’s master. The old man knew that he cannot fight back, so he chased him with a duster he had just grabbed at the shelf not far from them and chased him intending to hit him.
"Old man, I’ve just answered your question. There is no need to lose your temper like this!" The Immortal Sun Emperor said while running around the living room being chased by Wu Yao who was holding a duster in his hand.
Wu Yao shouted in anger, "Stay where you are, you damn brat!"
