Jun Zhantian's decision!
Jun Zhantian's decision!
Jun Moxie had to make something out of nothing!
How could it be easy!
Over the course of these three days, with Jun Moxie's current inner strength of Spirit Energy, even with such strong backup support from a completed Hongjun Pagoda, he still ran out of Spirit Energy over ten times!
He could not afford any careless mistakes as he recasted Mei Xueyan's meridians! Any wrong move would be considered an unrecoverable failure!
Jun Moxie had completely and thoroughly combed through his own meridians, from head to toe, covering every little detail of it. He even opened a reference of the meridians in the human body within the Hongjun Pagoda to carefully differentiate and proceed accordingly to the differences in the male and female body. Advancing inch by inch—no, centimeter by centimeter!
Mei Xueyan never regained consciousness throughout this process. However, it was visible that things were making good progress. Her body was becoming stronger, and the external injuries completely disappeared. Her white fur changed to a healthy, radiant glow…
Although her meridians were difficult to heal, her Mystic skills would be hard to recover and her human form was gone, but her life was secured! This was already an extremely good beginning!
Jun Moxie looked at her tenderly, gently picking her up and hugging her in his arms. "Xueyan… this place is my biggest secret…. When you wake up, I will slowly tell you about it and share this huge secret with you… I will wait for you… No matter what! This will not change, even until the end of time!"
He carefully put the small creature onto the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein he brought back from the snowy mountains. A green little tree had grown on it, radiating dazzling balls of light that slowly dispersed into the air and filled up the entire space within the Hongjun Pagoda.
The entire space within the Hongjun Pagoda seemed a little livelier….
This little tree was the small magical tree that had accompanied Dongfang Wenxin for ten years… Jun Moxie had shifted it into the Hongjun Pagoda when he was in the Dongfang Family. To be more exact, it had forcefully attached itself to Jun Moxie and entered the Hongjun Pagoda….
After that huge spirit vein from Blizzard Silver City had been shifted into the Hongjun Pagoda, this little tree had automatically moved and connected itself directly to it, growing its roots there. Within a few days, it grew dramatically and was about the height of two people combined. That originally tiny tree crown had also grown abundantly, looking like a huge umbrella now.
And this small tree also had its own great benefits.
Thick life energy oozed continuously out from it! The purest of its kind in this world!
Mei Xueyan's small body was placed right in the center beneath the crown of the tree. The countless sparkles floated out and slowly entered Mei Xueyan's body, dissolving into her meridians.
This small tree was like the gentlest hand, constantly comforting Mei Xueyan's injured body.
"Xueyan, just rest here and recuperate for now. You have sustained injuries that were too severe this time. It will be difficult to recover you into your original state immediately. I need to go home once to make arrangements first. Don't worry; I will come often to visit you. You won't be alone. I'll tell you more secrets—this place is actually the deepest part of my soul, and it is also my biggest secret. From this moment on, we can be said to have become one… When you wake up and recover, I will tell you all about it…" Jun Moxie sat quietly beside Mei Xueyan's small unconscious body, reluctant to part.
He slowly stood up and laughed bitterly. "Xueyan, you've always been helping me all along, always supporting behind me. I am really happy and also very guilty. Did you know that I had finally found confidence and happiness in my heart after I had you? I will definitely not allow anything to happen to you! Xueyan, from today onwards, it is my turn to support you, protect you, and accompany you! Until the end of time!
"Because I am your man! This is my responsibility! My responsibility as a man!"
He took one last look before steeling his heart and exiting the Hongjun Pagoda with a turn of his body.
In the Hongjun Pagoda, the unusually thick Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi hovered about like white mist. A small, green tree stood amidst it quietly, releasing life energy. Mei Xueyan's tiny body rested quietly on that Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, as if she had fallen asleep peacefully…
A shirt covered her body. Jun Moxie had just taken it off. It still carried his body's warmth and scent. It carried the emotions accumulated from him in two lifetimes…
The Jun Family…
It was all silent. The place was full of people and beasts. Everyone had gathered here. Although the majority were humans, no one made a single noise. The atmosphere was heavy.
An unprecedented anguish and anger in the atmosphere were brewing and gathering in the air….
The episode that night was like a large stone that had weighed heavily on everyone's heart, making it impossible for them to breathe.
Although the Condor King had brought news along with his return, allowing everyone to heave a sigh of relief, everyone was still waiting for a definite answer from Jun Moxie.
Everyone's greatest concern was Mei Xueyan's fate!
Nothing else was greater than this matter!
No one slept or even rested the past few days. Their eyes were all glued to the door.
The Beast Kings were the most anxious. They were most clear of the terrifying effects of the Saint King Pill! That was the taboo item that Heavenly Punishment's first Saint King had left behind. Although they were confident in their brother-in-law Jun Moxie, no matter what, they still couldn't be optimistic about it!
On the other side, in the study room of the Jun Residence, all the members of the Jun Family had been gathered in here. Jun Zhantian looked at Dongfang Wenxin, Jun Wuyi, Guan Qinghan, Dugu Xiaoyi, and Han Yanyao who were before him with an extremely solemn expression before he slowly announced his decision. "I only recently found out that Xueyan is a Mystic Beast and the Lord of Heavenly Punishment, Venerable Mei! Humans and Mystic Beasts will always be different; no matter how excellent Xueyan is or how admirable her status is. But what Xueyan has done for the Jun Family is the greatest amongst everyone else! Her support to Moxie is also the greatest! Had it not been Xueyan, perhaps the Jun Residence would have been destroyed! The Jun Family ancestral teachings have always taught us to have an indomitable spirit and a clear conscience! Xueyan has given and contributed greatly to Moxie, to the Jun Family! A daughter-in-law like this—this old man acknowledges it!"
Everyone nodded. The love Mei Xueyan had for Jun Moxie, her sacrifices for the Jun Family; everyone has witnessed it!
"But as a human, Moxie marrying Xueyan will definitely stir great controversy in the world, or even criticism. Perhaps even people within our family will allow their tongues to wag. So today, I am going to make it clear first…"
He paused for a moment before continuing. "To everyone present: Wen Xin is Moxie's mother; Wu Yi and Yanyao are his third uncle and third aunt; Qinghan and Xiaoyi are wives who have yet to be married into our family. There are no outsiders, so I will not hide or conceal it. I will be the one to make this decision today. Xueyan has met with an accident right now, but no matter what the outcome is, she will be Moxie's wife! Is everyone clear?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Dongfang Wenxin said, "Everyone is clear of this. A good girl like Xueyan is almost impossible to find. Even if you did not say this, I would not allow Xueyan to be bullied. I have already acknowledged her position since a long time ago. I only pray that the heavens will bless her and not let anything bad happen to her…."
Guan Qinghan and Dugu Xiaoyi's eyes turned red and nodded, worry clearly in their expressions. "We pray that Sister Xueyan can be safe. Heaven will bless those who are kind…."
Jun Zhantian nodded. "Xueyan will be Moxie's official wife if she is alive! If she really passes on, she shall become the Mistress of the Third generation and be buried in the ancestral graves of the Jun Family! Xueyan is bigger than the two of you; I presume you two would not have any issues with it?"
This sentence was directed to Guan Qinghan and Dugu Xiaoyi.
They both locked eyes with each other and nodded quickly. Dugu Xiaoyi said, "Grandpa, don't worry; I really admire Sister Xueyan. Why would I have any issues? I agree with her as the eldest, Sister Guan as second, and me as third…" Mentally, she added: I can't be the first, and being the third isn't too bad either. There's someone else already eyeing that position; if I am not fast enough, maybe I'll become fourth….
The Jun Family nodded in satisfaction. "One more thing: from today onwards, if anyone in the Jun Family dares to make any topics of Mystic Beasts and Humans, then no matter who they are, they shall be executed without mercy! Write this into the Jun Family ancestral teachings from this moment! I make this decision as the eldest member of the Jun Family!"
Jun Wuyi nodded, "Rest assured, Father; if anyone dares to use this as a topic, I, the current master of the family, will not let him off! I will personally execute him!"
Jun Zhantian nodded his head and rubbed his brows. "Alright, all of you go down. If Moxie returns with news of Xueyan, no matter what, you have to let me know of it immediately!"
