Chapter 256: Mystic Moon
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng didn't know what to expect. If some crazy notion like 'world extermination' was included in this clone's character, that would be really troublesome.
In the end, he simply took the peach blossom into the villa and placed it in one of the bedrooms. When the girl awakened, he would have a proper chat with her before deciding what to do with her.
Bei Feng went back to his room and lay down with a heavy heart. Early the next morning, the serenity of the villa was broken by a shrill female scream, shocking Bei Feng out of his dreams.
He hurriedly dashed over to find that all three of the Cerberus' heads was sporting a huge bruise. The proud dog was currently crouching in a corner with fear in its eyes as it looked at a gorgeous girl in black dress.
"Woof!"
The Cerberus hurriedly ran over and cowered behind Bei Feng as soon as it saw him coming in.
"Where did this crazy hag come from?! This Lord Dog only gave her a light sniff, but before I could react, we were beaten up into this state!" Indigestion complained with an aggrieved face. How could it face anybody with a huge bump on each of its heads?!
What was even more hateful was that it did not even have the time to yelp in pain before the crazy hag started screaming louder than anyone!
"System, help me to translate her words," Bei Feng sent inwardly.
"Miss, do you remember your identity?"
Bei Feng looked at the flawless face before him and felt himself getting a little dazed. With a prod of his mental power, he instantly regained his clarity of mind and proceeded with his questioning seriously. At the same time, a sharp intent rose out of his body and locked on to the absolute beauty before him.
'What powerful mental power!'
Bei Feng kept his guard up against her secretly. This girl's mental power was obviously stronger than his. The reason he'd been dazed earlier was because he was affected by the passive emanation of her mental power.
In that instant, Bei Feng focused his mental power and stood his ground. The moment there was the slightest movement from her which could cause him danger, he would not hesitate to kill her immediately!
"This Empress naturally knows who I am and where I come from. I'm just a bunch of discarded emotions, nurtured into a unique lifeform by the Peach Tree. You don't have to be so nervous."
There was no way to guess her emotions from her expression. Her lips moved lightly, and her voice was soft and illusory, like drifting mist.
"Since you understand that, you should have realized by now that this place is different from your original world. What plans do you have from now on?" Bei Feng asked gruffly.
"This Empress does not know how you did it, but I owe you a favor. Besides, this Empress is not familiar with this world, so I've decided to stay here!"
The girl had an extremely haughty expression on her face, as if she was showing great grace to Bei Feng by staying.
Mystic Moon felt extremely satisfied in her heart. Although the Ling Qi in this world was extremely lacking, she could be considered to have escaped from a calamity. If she was still on Qingxuan continent, her main body would definitely find and kill her in no time!
"Oh? If you're grateful, just give me 80 or 100 cultivation techniques to repay the favor directly," Bei Feng said as he furrowed his brows.
"What?"
Mystic Moon nearly choked on her spit. Detestable! This d*mnable fellow must have done it on purpose, right?
"I don't have any!" Mystic Moon struggled internally for a long time before splaying her hands out and admitting truthfully.
"Then... battle techniques?"
Bei Feng was beginning to get amused as he looked at her with a playful smile.
"I don't have any as well!"
'I have to endure it... this detestable fellow is obviously poking fun at me intentionally!'
Mystic Moon grinded her teeth as she looked at Bei Feng unkindly.
"Then you should at least have some treasures, right?"
Bei Feng was quite sure by now that this girl only had raw power, but did not know any cultivation techniques or martial techniques.
"I don't have any!!"
Mystic Moon was about to go crazy. She was just a bunch of negative emotions, so where would she get all those techniques and treasures from?!
Mystic Moon's original body was a person who loved fighting. Thus, all the little girl syndrome parts of her memories had been sealed. When she was sealed in the peach tree, this part of her which was deemed as a negative emotion was somehow absorbed by the tree and finally created into a unique lifeform, Mystic Moon!
If the peach tree had not been sealing Mystic Moon's original body and forming Mystic Moon herself, it would long since have turned into a powerful Plant Demon or a Spirit Tree based on its longevity and abilities!
Without even thinking, one could understand how Mystic Moon would not have any techniques on her. The only belongings she had was that peach blossom tied around her neck with the red string.
"You're planning to be a free loafer?!"
An evil grin appeared on Bei Feng's face as he looked at Mystic Moon in a strange way.
At this, Mystic Moon's face suddenly changed. She gasped loudly and took a step back as she held her arms protectively before her chest.
Bei Feng widened his eyes and smacked his forehead with his palm in exasperation. What kind of person did you just take this handsome gentleman for? He never held those strange thoughts in the first place; but now that she was behaving in this way, Bei Feng felt his attention wavering yet again.
He hurriedly steeled his heart and looked away. He had almost lost his mind in his carelessness again.
Half an hour later.
"Right, this is the spot... scrub it well!"
"Why are you so dumb? Come here, stand there and watch how I mop the floor. En? Not good! I got distracted by her again!"
Bei Feng's forehead was filled with black lines. He hurriedly pushed the mop into Mystic Moon's hand and scampered off to down a cup of scalding tea.
"Detestable baddy! See how I'll take care of you once I become stronger! I'll make him mop a hundred times... no, a thousand times!"
Mystic Moon grinded her teeth hatefully as she looked at that detestable fellow lying down comfortably in a recliner and sunbathing in the yard.
To actually ask this Empress to clean such a large room! How long would she need to finish cleaning it?!
As she turned her head, she realized that she'd only cleaned one percent of the villa after so long. In that moment, she felt a sudden impulse to run over and dump the pail of water over Bei Feng's head!
Bei Feng tore his eyes away from Mystic Moon and mumbled to himself, "For the time being, Mystic Moon has not displayed any threatening actions. Forget it, I'll let her stay and observe her for the time being."
From the color of the sky, it was almost time to eat again. Bei Feng got up and headed towards the kitchen.
It just so happened that he never liked doing the dishes. Now, though, he had finally found someone to do that for him. Thinking to this point was enough to cause Bei Feng to feel significantly happier.
As for Mystic Moon, she could only resign herself to her fate and continue mopping obediently. Although she had the strength of a Xiantian Lord, she did not have the cultivation of one, nor any martial techniques. She definitely could not beat that detestable baddy!
"WAH! What a cute little fox! Quick, come to this Empress!"
Mystic Moon's eyes brightened up as she looked at the little fox which just walked in.
"Meep?"
The little fox arched its back and its hair stood up on its ends. The way this crazy hag stared at it was too scary!
But before it could flee, Mystic Moon had already arrived by its side in a flash and hugged it into her arms.
"Ding! Fox of Natural and Human Calamity's innate ability: Human Calamity has been activated! Level of threat: Grade 3!"
Bei Feng nearly chopped his finger off as the message resounded in his mind. Chucking the kitchen knife aside, he hurriedly charged into the hall. As expected, Mystic Moon was hugging an extremely ruffled and distressed looking little fox in her arm.
"Mystic Moon! You must never touch that little fox, understand?!" Bei Feng roared from across the hall, startling Mystic Moon who dropped the little fox in a hurry.
The poor little fox looked like it was about to cry as it scampered up Bei Feng's shoulder. From time to time, it would point to its squashed fur in an aggrieved manner.
Bei Feng found that he could hardly keep his stern face straight as he looked at the fluffy creature. This little fellow was truly rather cute...
