Moon City, Heart City. Moon Demon Palace.

The moon night slowly opened her bright eyes, exhaling a breath. The spiritual power within her body circulated, enveloping her whole body in a layer of dark purple light.

As a mixed-blood of both humans and demons, she had many unique advantages. Her thoughts and body were more inclined towards humans, but she possessed the Moon Demon clan’s talent and attributes for cultivation.

Since Abao disregarded her safety to kill Long Haochen before the Holy War began, she had remained quietly in the Moon Demon Palace after returning to Moon City. She only remotely directed the affairs of the Moon Night Merchant Guild.

In the past two years, her state of mind had become much calmer than before, and her cultivation was increasing at an astonishing rate. Although she didn’t possess the powerful abilities that most Moon Demons were born with, her human constitution determined that her future growth potential could even surpass that of ordinary Moon Demons.

The Moon Demon God favored this daughter the most, not only because of her beauty but also because of her extraordinary intelligence. This was something that most Moon Demons couldn’t compare to. Despite having the Moon Demon God’s support, Moon Night had established the vast Moon Night Merchant Guild from scratch, starting at the age of fifteen, fully demonstrating her talent.

The dark purple light gradually subsided, and a bright purple crescent moon appeared behind Moon Night. The moonlight flashed three times in succession before slowly disappearing.

The Moon Demon clan had unique advantages. Cultivating here was second only to the Demon Emperor’s Palace for those who possessed darkness attributes. After more than two years of tranquility, the extremely talented Moon Night had just broken through the eighth rank a few days ago.

Speaking of which, she felt that she had to thank Long Haochen. It was her anxiety about Long Haochen that caused abnormal fluctuations in her spiritual power. She grasped the opportunity brought by this fluctuation with inspiration, forcibly breaking through the bottleneck of the seventh rank and entering the eighth rank.

Compared to ordinary Moon Demons, she was more talented in all aspects. Even at the eighth rank, she was confident in defeating those clan members whose cultivation was similar to hers.

Finally, the fluctuations of spiritual power in the quiet room completely subsided, and Moon Night’s beautiful eyes returned to their faint purple color. A few hints of resentment appeared in her eyes as she sighed softly and said to herself, “He should be out of danger by now. According to the news from Demon Hunt Pass, he was informed by my people as soon as he arrived there. At that time, Your Majesty should have been at least two days away from Demon Hunt Pass. With such a long buffer, he should have left. Father’s attitude towards me is a bit strange, as if he already suspects me. This should be the last time I help him. Long Haochen, take care of yourself. I hope we will never have any contact in the future.”

After two years of silence, although she still couldn’t forget how Long Haochen defended Cai’er from the demon hunter’s attack, she had severed that sliver of infatuation in her heart.

She was a smart person. Knowing that something was impossible, why would she think about it further? She now had a new goal.

Whether human or demon, one always needed a goal. Otherwise, one would only live aimlessly. This was especially true for a smart person like Moon Night. She needed something that interested her to divert her attention. And the goal she had chosen was enough to achieve this.

Moon Night floated up and walked out of the quiet room. Outside the quiet room was a small garden. Apart from a pebble path leading to the front yard, this place was filled with a plant. Moonflowers, Moon Night’s favorite flowers.

They were small, light yellow flowers that weren’t particularly gorgeous, but they had no leaves. They possessed nobility and pride, and they had a rich fragrance, but within that richness, there was a hint of aloofness.

Moon Night always felt that she was very similar to moonflowers. She never really knew what was most important in her heart. There was a time when she was particularly tired because of the Moon Night Merchant Guild’s affairs and desperately wanted a relationship of her own. At this time, Long Haochen appeared. He appeared in front of her for the first time.

When her merchant group was surrounded by the demon army, and Moon Night herself was about to give up, he turned the tide, leading them out of the siege. That time, Long Haochen had already left a deep impression on her heart.

In Moon Night’s heart, her lover could only be a human, not a demon. Therefore, she had never really liked Abao.

Long Haochen’s handsomeness, bravery, and all knightly qualities deeply touched her heart. So, from that moment on, she developed a strong interest in this young knight who was even younger than her.

After that, in more than one contact, this interest gradually took root and sprouted. When she watched Long Haochen almost die for Cai’er, while Abao sacrificed her for the sake of the demons, Moon Night’s heart was in pain, but within this pain, there was a strong desire. If that man was willing to pay such a price for me, what would I do?

This emotional fluctuation lingered for a long, long time. It wasn’t until a long time after the Holy War began that she figured it out. She and he were people from two different worlds, and there was no possibility between them. If he didn’t have such a lover, maybe she could try. But now, it was obviously impossible.

Moon Night even thought about conquest. If one day she could become a powerful figure in the world, what would happen if she killed Cai’er and forcefully conquered Long Haochen? She almost immediately got the answer in her heart. That was impossible.

So, she gradually buried her desire for emotions in her heart and gradually had other thoughts. But she never regretted falling in love with Long Haochen. Although this relationship ended without a trace, at least it had given her something to rely on in her heart. The man I, Moon Night, loved was so outstanding that no one could compare to him.

She was now focusing all her energy on other things, and for her, the more important thing was to improve her own cultivation.

The rich fragrance of flowers surrounded Moon Night as she slowly walked towards the front yard. Every time she did this, she felt like a queen. And that was her goal.

Stepping out of the garden, Moon Night’s expression had returned to normal, calm and gentle, still the outwardly stunning but harmlessly weak princess.

“Your Highness, dinner is ready.” A maid walked up to her and said softly. Moon Night had ordered that no one was allowed to enter the backyard. But she never made demands of herself. She ate three meals a day, all exquisitely prepared. Only sufficiently nourishing food could better support her cultivation. Moreover, as a Moon Demon princess, she naturally enjoyed life.

“Mm.” Just as she was about to go to dinner, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she looked towards the gate of her residence.

Although she was a princess, her palace wasn’t very big. With her cultivation, she had a strong spiritual sense of her surroundings.

Sure enough, another maid came quickly, “Your Highness, a Viscount has arrived with your token and is requesting to see you.”

Viscount? There was no doubt that the maid was referring to a Moon Demon Viscount. Moon Night’s originally calm heart suddenly beat violently, and a hint of horror appeared on her face. Could it, could it be him?

“Please, please invite him in.” Trying to calm her mind as much as possible, Moon Night suddenly found that her hands were shaking. She herself didn’t know whether she hoped her guess was correct or not.

Not long after, under the guidance of the maid, a person wearing a dark purple cloak walked in from outside. The cloak covered his entire body, but his figure still revealed that he was a male. He lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

An indescribable familiarity instantly surged into her heart. Even though she hadn’t seen his face yet, Moon Night almost exclaimed in surprise, instinctively taking half a step back. The surrounding maids immediately revealed expressions of vigilance.

The person slowly raised his head and lifted the cloak on his head, smiling and saying, “Long time no see, Princess Your Highness.”

His handsome and delicate face had no flaws. His long, golden hair was smoothly draped behind his head. If there was any flaw in his appearance, it was perhaps his eyes. Those purple eyes, unique to the Moon Demon clan, seemed slightly out of place on his extremely handsome face.

“It really is you. You, why did you come?” Although Moon Night had guessed that it might be him, she was still filled with disbelief when she actually saw him face to face. It was an indescribable strong feeling. For a moment, her emotions surged, completely losing color.

Long Haochen smiled as he looked at Moon Night in front of him. It had been more than two years, and this Moon Night Princess had become even more beautiful. Her temperament was more noble, and she had a charm that she didn’t have before. Her purple eyes were filled with shock.

“What? Aren’t you welcome?”

Moon Night was, after all, Moon Night. After a brief shock, she immediately came to her senses, suppressing the shock in her heart and immediately waving her hand, saying, “You may all leave.”

The maids left with some doubts, leaving only Long Haochen and Moon Night in the hall.

“Come with me.” Moon Night quickly stepped forward, grabbed Long Haochen’s hand, and pulled him towards the backyard. At this moment, her heart was still racing rapidly. But within her heart, there was an indescribable strong pleasure. Perhaps, this was excitement.

Soon, she pulled Long Haochen into the quiet room where she had cultivated before. First pulling him into the room, then closing the door herself, Moon Night stared at Long Haochen with a gaze still filled with disbelief.

“How could it be you? How could it be? How dare you come here.” Moon Night could no longer suppress the shock in her heart, and her delicate body trembled slightly as she said——

How could it be? The impossible has come. Hehe.
