Chapter 394: The Moon Emperor's Inner Demon

"Phoenix Lord? Why are you here?" The Moon Emperor's face was solemn, ready for battle.

"If he hadn't said I was in seclusion, how would you have revealed your true colors?" Phoenix Qingxian, dressed in red with long, slender legs, had a restrained aura, but her phoenix eyes were sharp, exuding a domineering presence that overlooked the world.

"Master..." Feeling the unique aura of his master, Gu Junlin was momentarily entranced.

Indeed, if his master were to turn dark, it would make his life unbearable. But at this moment, he didn't have the mind to weigh the pros and cons, only joy.

The Moon Emperor glared fiercely at Gu Junlin: "No wonder you were so calm in the face of danger, the Phoenix Lord has been by your side all along! Little liar, no wonder you managed to deceive Xin'er's heart!" After saying this, she angrily flicked her sleeve and left: "Little liar, remember this, as long as I am alive, I will never hand Xin'er over to you!"

Phoenix Qingxian dared to show herself, surely because she had also mastered the fourth divine skill. The Moon Emperor and the Phoenix Lord had always been like this, chasing and surpassing each other.

Every time they thought their power had greatly increased and they could overpower the other, the result was always the same—a draw.

Under Phoenix Qingxian's indifferent gaze, the Moon Emperor refrained from making further threats. She boarded her divine chariot and disappeared in an instant.

Although she was confident she could kill Gu Junlin in front of Phoenix Qingxian, she also wasn't sure she could protect Mo Qingxin in front of her. This matter would have to be temporarily set aside.

Before the Moon Emperor disappeared, Phoenix Qingxian lightly threatened: "If anything happens to my disciple from now on, whether it's you or not, I will make sure your disciple accompanies her in death. I believe she would be quite willing."

"Master, are you... are you alright?" Gu Junlin came to the top of the ship, holding Phoenix Qingxian's hand, unable to contain his excitement.

Phoenix Qingxian's expression was complicated, just about to speak.

At that moment, a confused voice came from below the ship: "Stinky brat, where have you run off to again?" Phoenix Qingxian felt something, looked up in Gu Junlin's direction, and the next moment, just waking up, she thought she was hallucinating, rubbing her eyes hard. After seeing clearly, she sighed in relief: "Looks like the sun dazzled my eyes. I just mistook Qiushuang for myself."

Gu Junlin stared dumbfounded at Feng Qiushuang, looking foolish. How did his master suddenly turn into Aunt Qiu? He looked blankly at where Aunt Qiu had been, but there was no one there anymore.

Gu Junlin said, "Aunt Qiu, were you actually a shadow clone just now?" Feng Qiushuang nodded: "The moment I sensed the Moon Emperor's killing intent, I made this preparation."

As she spoke, she took out the mask she had given Phoenix Qingxian earlier: "Based on my understanding of Sister Xian'er, I was able to mimic 90% of her aura. With this mask to conceal my own aura, I successfully deceived the Moon Emperor."

On the other side, inside the divine chariot.

The Moon Emperor rested her cheek on her hand, feeling puzzled. For some reason, she felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Damn Phoenix Lord, why didn't Cang Yue kill you back then?!" Thinking of Phoenix Qingxian's threat, the Moon Emperor gritted her teeth in frustration. Could it really be that she couldn't kill that little liar?

In fact, for Mo Qingxin's sake, she had already decided not to hold Gu Junlin's offense against him. But something that happened three months ago reignited her killing intent, the kind that absolutely must be carried out!

Mo Qingxin had been possessed by an immortal, her soul injured. Soul injuries are the hardest to recover from. To ensure it didn't affect Mo Qingxin's future path, she used a secret technique to transfer Mo Qingxin's soul into her own body, nurturing it with her own soul.

Three months ago, it was time for the most crucial step in repairing Mo Qingxin's soul injury—soul fusion! She was to merge her own soul with Mo Qingxin's, repairing the injury while also experiencing Mo Qingxin's past memories.

This step was extremely dangerous, with the risk of being assimilated. However, her soul power far exceeded Mo Qingxin's, so theoretically, she wouldn't be affected.

At first, everything went as planned. Reading Mo Qingxin's memories was like reading a book, not deeply affecting her.

Until Gu Junlin appeared in women's clothing... Because of the previous forced kiss, she had a very deep impression of him, causing her soul to fluctuate. Unintentionally, she went from being a reader to a character in the book.

The obsessive, crazy love Mo Qingxin had for Gu Junlin, she experienced firsthand.

Afterwards, although she suppressed this strange feeling with her strong will.

In reality, the actual event of the forced kiss lingered in her mind, constantly harassing her, nearly driving her to lose control! Gu Junlin's existence had become her inner demon. As long as he lived, she would never have peace!

Meanwhile.

After hearing what Aunt Qiu said, Gu Junlin felt an indescribable emotion swirling in his heart, unsure if it was disappointment or relief.

Indeed, Master didn't know the enchantress. To say that the enchantress would be willing to accompany in death, only someone who knew the enchantress well, like Aunt Qiu, could say that.

"What are you two whispering about up there?" Below, Phoenix Qingxian said unhappily.

Feng Qiushuang said, "Sister Xian'er, it's getting dark, you should rest."

Phoenix Qingxian was confused: "Come on, I just woke up!" Feng Qiushuang said seriously, "Sister Xian'er, you're tired."

Hearing this, a wave of drowsiness hit Phoenix Qingxian, and she felt truly tired. She yawned: "I do feel a bit sleepy, I'll go back to sleep..."
