Chapter 243: White Moon Blossom

Earlier.

Ravia leaned closer to Rahu, “My Lord, the Sect Leader, Brakkan has a wife…she is a very beautiful woman, and he heavily favours that woman.”

Rahu raised his brows when he heard, “So? You are whispering it like it’s some Cosmic secret.”

“M-My lord! I was continuing. The thing is, she is a mortal. And lives in a nearby village in the territory of the Heaven Body Refining Sect. And I have only met her once when I accompanied my ex-husband. And, even I was surprised by her beauty!”

Ravia explained, hearing her words. Both Azaria and Ophelia looked at Rahu amusingly.

Seeing this, Rahu’s brow twitched.

Smack!!

A tight slap landed on Ravia’s ass!

“Awch!!”

Ravia winced and looked at Rahu incredulously.

“You dare hide such precious information from me!? I would have gone earlier if I knew beforehand!”

“B-But! I was summoned just now…”

…

A few miles away from the Heaven Refining Body Sect.

It was a small, quiet town. It was untouched by the brutal discipline of the sect, but it was sufficiently strong and self-sustaining. This place didn’t have exaggerated towering peaks and wild training grounds.

Narrow, clean paths extended between houses.

Near the far edge of the town stood a slightly large residence, surrounded by a small garden.

And inside that garden, a breathtaking woman knelt beside a patch of blooming flowers—specifically white lilies.

Her movements were gentle and unhurried; her slender fingers slightly brushed past the petals with care.

She wore a simple blue and white dress. Yet, despite her plain approach. There was an indescribable charm about her. Her beauty wasn’t overly attractive, domineering, cute, innocent, or extravagant. It was…soft and serene.

Her long dark hair flowed down her back like a soothing river, occasionally swaying with the wind.

This was Brakkan’s wife, a mortal.

“Fuck No!”

Rahu immediately shook his head when he saw the woman’s face and demeanor.

“My Lord! It’s the truth! I have even shown you the proof, and you still don’t believe me!” Ravia pouted, her hands crossed beneath her honkers.

Rahu’s face turned strange when he heard this…Just imagining Brakkan’s face beside this woman made him gag.

“I…couldn’t let this happen! The poor woman has clearly suffered! Just look at her eyes!!” Rahu shook his head in pity.

Ravia almost coughed up blood when she heard those words. She really didn’t know, but inwardly, butterflies were fluttering in her stomach.

It always fascinated her how a mere human could carry so many emotions…yet restrain them to such an extreme degree.

“Stand here.”

Saying that, he vanished. Ravia sighed when she saw this…but for a second. Her lips curled up ever so slightly.

…

Rahu reappeared silently at the edge of the garden, his presence and cultivation completely hidden. There was not an ounce of the usual overwhelming aura he carries.

He looked at the woman in front of him curiously; the peaceful aura around her was unlike anything he had seen.

He took a step forward, the woman paused. But she wasn’t startled. Her fingers slightly hovered above the white lilies.

Then slowly, she turned her head. Their eyes met.

For a heartbeat, neither of them spoke. But he saw it, the skip of her heart beat and the slight redness on her cheeks.

He smiled and stepped closer. “Forgive my intrusion. I was merely passing through the town when I caught the scent of these lilies…White Moon blossoms, huh…these plants rarely thrive outside the Mana-rich soils. You’ve raised them beautifully.

The woman blinked in surprise—not by his appearance…but by his words.

Most people simply called them lilies; no one in this town had ever called them by their true name.

“…You know of them?” She asked, her voice soft. This was the first time she had seen such an otherworldly existence. Yet, she was speaking calmly for a mortal.

Rahu’s lips curled up slightly.

“A bit,” he responded. His gaze drifted over the flowers before returning to her beautiful face. With a smirk on his face, he stepped closer.

She was a bit short in front, standing in front of him… or he was unusually tall. She just looked at him curiously.

Now that Rahu had a closer look at her. He couldn’t help but frown. There wasn’t an ounce of cultivation, no mana channels, and not even the signs of Body Strengthening!

Every expression, every emotion was… entirely human.

But her serene face made it difficult to see the truth. Shifting his eyes, he gazed down on the lilies.

“White Moonblossoms…they are delicate,” Rahu said, “They do not respond to force. The more one tries to control them…the faster they wither. It’s a truly fascinating flower.”

Of course, he didn’t know this; it was Seris who had told him once.

Her clear eyes looked at him, and unconsciously, her lips parted when she felt him so close. Gulping once, she lowered her eyes slightly.

And Rahu saw it in an instant—isolation.

“Heh, how interesting. I want to see this face moaning.”

She was the perfect prey. “You must have spent a lot of time caring about them.”

She nodded, “They…help me pass the time.”

“Pass the time, huh? How lonely. You clearly don’t belong here.”

Rahu said, she lifted her head lightly. “I’m married.”

She spoke, her voice strong. But she made no effort to push him away.

“Also…I have always lived here. And I can see in your eyes that you want me. But unfortunately…my husband is not a simple man.”

She spoke, hearing her words, Rahu felt sad for her—almost. Inwardly, he couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Brakkan? Even his daddy’s daddy would piss in fear if they felt his aura.

Shaking his head, he smiled at her. “Won’t you invite me inside?” Rahu said, amusingly. The woman’s eyes twitched when she heard his remark. He had already stepped into the garden; now he was shamelessly asking her to invite him inside?

“Also…I didn’t ask your name. What is it?” Rahu suddenly asked, startling the woman.

“My name is…Yuna—Yuna Whisper”
