The Legend of the Moon Goddess
20. The Fucked Engagement
...……...
...The Zhu Family Residence...
...…………...
"Quick! Hurry along! Did you find him?"
"Not yet miss"
"Aish! Quick search!" Zhu Lian sneered at her temple feeling confused when she found out her sister-in-law, and Rong Hua had disappeared.
"How's this... Why did they both disappear?" He was pacing with confusion. Suddenly, someone appeared behind him.
"Miss!"
"Hows it? Have you met?"
"Not yet, but..."
"Quick say!"
"That's, I found a small footprint around the peach forest..."
"Peach forest...?" Zhu Lian seemed to think, with a serious look on her face, she immediately said, "Examine there! Find my sister-in-law as soon as possible!" Command again.
"Yes!" Answer the man and then disappear.
"Yue'er, where exactly are you..." His murmur was full of anxiety. He was very afraid if his favorite sister-in-law why-why.
"An'er, what's the matter exactly..? Why are you so nervous?" Asked a beautiful woman who was none other than Zhu Lian's mother. The woman came to check on her son, she thought Zhu Lian would be nervous or what, in fact, her son was restless on the grounds he did not know.
"Mother..." His face looked complicated and anxious as well. In essence, his mood was in a bad state.
"Hm.. What was? Try saying" asked the woman frowning confusedly.
"It... It's about my sister-in-law..." The answer.
"Shangguan Yue? What's wrong with her? And what does this have to do with your restless self?"
"Of course it has to do with mom... She she disappeared last night? No. I don't know. The point was that right now Yue Yue and also Rong Hua had disappeared!" He said in a serious tone.
Zhu Lian's mother stiffened, She also began to worry like a child, "Shangguan Yue is the patriarch's favorite young lady. If... If he disappears this will have a bad impact on us."
"I know Mom! But, I am more worried about the state of Yue Yue. He was a kid I was afraid of him
"Son, use some of the secret guards to find Miss Shangguan."
"Can I?"
"Yes, hurry! here's the token, I'll see your father first. After you're done go back to the room, and get ready for the engagement!"
"Good mom!"
"Yun Gege .. forgive me for not being so good at guarding Yue Yue," he muttered turned and left.
Unlike the Zhu family members who were anxious about the existence of Shangguan Yue, in the Shangguan family themselves they were still busy preparing everything needed for the engagement day. They also do not know if their young lady has disappeared somewhere. Meanwhile, the guards controlling the little girl are also now unconscious which makes the situation increasingly serious.
...………...
...Shangguan Family Main House...

"Put down the right thing, don't let it fall!"
"Yes, give me the red carpet in the middle!"
"Hey! You over there, slide the lantern a little! don't be as symmetrical as others!"
"You put the silver table next to the vase!"
"Oh, hey! Replace this fish with glowing spirit fish!"
Shangguan Shu looked like he was yelling to and fro. He's really busy for today. Tomorrow, is the day of his nephew's engagement, of course he needs to contribute as a form of bond between family members.
"Hah.. this is really tiring" he said while fanning himself using a folding fan. Though this man does not sweat in the slightest, but well.may just want to cool down.
"Well, later I need to ask for a reward" he said again alone. He smiles. Right now in his head he had arranged a ghost plan that he would ask his first brother who was none other than Shangguan Qingshui.
"What draw?" Suddenly behind him appeared a handsome man.
Shangguan Shu stiffened, slowly He turned around. There was a sweet smile on his lips. He was sure, his plan this time would fail again.
Huh... I really got shit... His mind was full of complaining.
"none... Sister~ Hehe"
"Suspicious, obviously yesterday it was you who volunteered to help me" Cibir Shangguan Qingshui raised his lips in disgust. For some reason, this man felt that his youngest sister was very compatible with the saying that read, 'There are shrimp behind the rock.' Very unbelievable, and will do everything to make a profit.
Looks good indeed, but there's definitely a want, "Ck, you shrimp guy!" Smirks again.
"Huh...?"
"Of course, do your job. I'll give you something later. But on one condition!"
Shangguan Shu sparkled, he quickly asked, "What is Brother! Just tell me, this handsome guy will do it!"
Shangguan Qingshui looked satisfied with his sister's reply. He then grinned widely which made Shangguan Shu somehow feel his hair standing on end. His intuition said that this time, his misfortune would multiply by several times. And it must be bad for him.
"Kill some tier 7 spirit beasts, minimum 100. The animals will be made for food... Can..?"
...……...
[For levels, be it cultivation, animals and so on, I will write after this section is completed. Maybe Cp 22/23 or 24]
...……………...
Already he guessed, Shangguan Shu groaned before finally looking at his elder brother with a hearty look, "Kakak~ Why is it so difficult~ Is there nothing easier? For example, a level 5 spirit beast?"
"No! If you don't take him today, our deal will expire!"
Shangguan Shu wanted to cry without tears, what was this agreement called? Isn't it the same as barter? He gave the spirit animal, while his brother gave something he did not know. And there are expiration deadlines too.
"Huhu~ Grandma! the ancestors! Why am I so unlucky~" He bowed his head with a very sad look.
...………...
...…………………...
The engagement day has finally arrived. Shangguan Yun who was in his room looked a little nervous. He looked in the mirror and started tidying up some of his slightly annoying hair. In fact, without even tidying up it will not have much impact on his appearance. Reasonable, handsome guy.
"Ekhem..! How is this good?" Ask the young man who was sipping tea.
"Oh brother, why are you so nervous and... a little narcissistic?" Shangguan Xiu's reply frowned. He shook his head, indeed if it had been blinded by love it would be like this. Horrifically.
"I don't want to fall in love" he murmured softly.
"..."
Although it was just a murmur, Shangguan Yun could still hear it. He looked at his cousin with a strange look.
"Hais, stop... By the way, I miss Zhu Lian, I haven't seen her in a long time. Last time he met when he met Yue'er..."
Shangguan Xiu rolled his eyes lazily, "Oh come on, that was just a few days ago... Don't be an alay like Uncle Shu!"
"Huh! A man like you will never know what it's like!" Cibir Shangguan Yun pouted.
Shangguan Xiu just stuck out his tongue, "No matter."
He suddenly remembered something, and he immediately turned his body on the chair so that he could face Shangguan Yun, "hey, then..Where is little Yue? Why haven't I seen him since?"
The man asked raised one of his eyebrows, "Hmm... If it's not wrong to be at Zhu's residence."
"Lotus City?"
"Hm... Yes, Yue'er will be home when the Zhu Family comes here"
"Oh..."
This ... Why do I feel bad...? Did something bad happen to Yue'er? Inner Shangguan Yun, but he immediately shook his head feeling impossible.
"No, he must be fine" he murmured.

The engagement is currently underway. The engagement between the Shangguan Family and the Zhu Family, Shangguan Yun and Zhu Lian. They were both stars this afternoon.
The invited guests also continued to arrive, ranging from the imperial aristocratic family, the imperial family, and even some other first-rate families.
It's a good day and a great celebration. Silver items were also seen throughout the main residence of the Shangguan Family. Red decorations also do not escape installed as a characteristic form of engagement.
"Pair rings for couples...!" Said the driver.
Shangguan Yun smiled, He then placed an elaborate flower-carved ring on Zhu Lian's index finger.
Unlike Shangguan Yun, Zhu Lian, the woman put on a half-anxious face because her sister-in-law had still not met. And unfortunately, Shangguan Yun did not realize it all because to him Zhu Lian's face seemed ordinary.
"It's your turn now..." Said this man smiling gently to Zhu Lian.
"I.. Yes" Then, He placed the pair ring on Shangguan Yun's index finger. His hands seemed to shake when he wanted to put the ring together.
The woman bit her lips a little doubtfully, She was afraid that it would be inappropriate to be Shangguan Yun's companion for not being so good at looking after her sister-in-law.
"What's up...?" The man frowned, He was also seen holding onto Zhu Lian's wrist so as not to shake anymore.
The woman shook her head for a moment. He exhaled softly and began to properly attach the ring.
But, suddenly...
BOOMM!!
"Akh!" Zhu Lian was shocked half to death. Fortunately, the ring was attached. If, no? Maybe this thing will fall.
Shangguan Yun hugged Zhu Lian to his back to the audience seats. Then he glanced back. His gaze sharpened, as if he did not like it.
"What's really going on?" Zhu Lian asked worriedly.
"I don't know" replied the man shaking.
In the audience seat. Everyone stood facing the direction of the voice. They worry if something bad happens. Surely, there was a veiled intention from the Attack earlier, thought some of them.
"PROTECT THE PRINCE!" Shouted the guards of the imperial Family and immediately surrounded a handsome young man called the prince.
"What is this, how can there be an explosion?"
"I think someone is attacking the Shangguan Family.."
"Did they not know that there had been gathered together the most important and powerful people in the entire empire?"
"Of course, they know, but.-"
BOOMMM...!!!
