Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 752 - 238: The Real and Fake Dongfang Mu

Here she comes.

Wang Mu was slightly startled as he watched the figure descend from midair.

The person wore pure white, cloud-patterned ancient attire and held a folding fan. Her face was like jade, her eyes cold and clear, yet she was unmistakably dressed as a man.

Wang Mu was speechless. Why do all these women like to dress as men? he wondered.

"Not bad," the newcomer nodded slightly. "You, Cultivator, are quite trustworthy. It’s just your appearance..."

She sized Wang Mu up, a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Still, what a pitiful man, willing to give up his life for the beautiful confidante by his side..."

"Eh, wait a minute... this is..."

"Upper Realm Fairies truly possess vast Divine Skills," Wang Mu said. "You know about this too? May I ask how I should address you, Fairy? Or should I call you Moon God?"

"Moon Immortal is fine," she waved her hand dismissively, her gaze fixed on the Immortal Cloud Kun beneath Wang Mu. "This mount of yours... why does it seem somewhat familiar?"

Familiar?

Wang Mu thought, Little Kun Kun is an Upper Realm Immortal Beast, so it makes sense for her to recognize it, right? However, Xiao Li was raising Little Kun Kun in a rather free-range manner; surely it hadn’t been shown to many people, had it?

"This is an Upper Realm Immortal Beast," Wang Mu said. "Didn’t I tell you before that Mr. Lee instructed me to look for a stowaway from the Upper Realm? This is it..."

There was no real reason to hide the Immortal Cloud Kun’s origins. Besides, Little Kun Kun had surely been responsible for their protection recently, and since this was an Upper Realm Fairy, he couldn’t keep her in the dark. So, Wang Mu told her.

However, these words sent shockwaves through the Moon God’s mind.

"A stowaway from the Upper Realm?" The Moon God was taken aback.

Yes, that’s right. Wang Mu had mentioned it to her before. But last time...

She remembered her mother saying she had already retrieved the Divine Light Mirror from Wang Mu. Only after that had she, the Moon God, helped him find a way to repair another shattered Divine Light Mirror. So, she had assumed Wang Mu was likely lying last time.

Moreover, Immortal Officials and Immortal Beasts illicitly crossing to the Lower Realm weren’t such a big deal. Usually, it only required a Divine General to be dispatched covertly to the Lower Realm to capture and retrieve them. It certainly wasn’t something that required her mother to handle such trivial matters. Naturally, she had believed Wang Mu’s previous claims were false.

To take a huge step back, even if it were true, Mother had already told me the Divine Light Mirror was retrieved... How could he report to Mr. Lee or contact him?

Now, the illicitly arrived Immortal Beast was right before her eyes...

Then... Wang Mu hadn’t lied? Could it be...

Waves of turmoil churned in the Moon God’s heart. Could it be that Mother lied? Why would Mother lie to me about retrieving the Divine Light Mirror? Mother is the ruler of the Upper Realm’s Immortal Court! How could she possibly tell such a lie to her own daughter?

The more she pondered, the deeper her thoughts spiraled.

The Moon God examined Wang Mu carefully, her expression gradually growing peculiar.

Last time, this fellow asked me about the Regent King of the Li Dynasty... When I was a child, Mother would often call out in her sleep... That Regent King must have been someone special to Mother from a long, long time ago... In fact, he clearly had a very profound emotional connection with her...

Few in the Upper Realm knew of such private matters. She only knew due to a coincidence. After all, her mother had slept beside her during her childhood, and she had happened to wake up early once and overheard something.

And considering this person’s ability to overcome the Ancient River battle and the Observation Army Formation... trials so closely associated with that Regent King... Could it be...

The Moon God exclaimed internally, Could this person truly be... the illegitimate child Mother had with that Regent King back then?

She had suspected as much last time... Otherwise, why would Mother deceive me? She was secretly in contact with this Lower Realm Cultivator. Considering Mother’s status, how could she casually contact a Lower Realm Cultivator? The only possibility is that this person is Mother’s illegitimate son with the Regent King from back then. Or perhaps he’s of the Regent King’s bloodline, from another woman after the King left the Li Dynasty. That must be why Mother would secretly maintain contact with him...

Realizing this, the Moon God’s gaze grew even more intense and scrutinizing.

Good heavens! Could this little cultivator actually be my relative?

"Is there a problem?" Wang Mu asked.

"No... no problem," the Moon Immortal smiled reservedly. "In that case, let’s set off. Oh, if you don’t mind my asking, are your parents still alive, now that you’ve embarked on Cultivation?"

Wang Mu thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Then your mother and father..."

"They should be deceased..."

In Dongfang Mu’s original life, they would certainly have passed away long ago, Wang Mu mused. As for my previous life, if the flow of time is the same, they should still be around.

"Deceased?" The Moon God’s heart stirred. He had a father and a mother... So, that means the Regent King found another woman to be with after leaving the Li Dynasty... It wasn’t with Mother... But given the Regent King’s contributions to the Li Dynasty, Mother would surely show special concern for his bloodline.

The Moon God nodded slightly, seemingly in understanding.

"Um, shall we depart then?" Wang Mu patted the Immortal Cloud Kun. "Where do you plan to conduct your inspection?"

"Let’s start with Li State," the Moon Immortal said. "Recently, marital destinies in the Mortal World and the Cultivation World have become chaotic, with discord between men and women. I want to investigate the cause. I am an incarnation that has descended to the mortal realm; I don’t possess the immortal power of the Upper Realm and am not much stronger than ordinary mortals."

"Then why are you dressed as a man?"

"If I were in women’s attire, it would be my true form," the Moon Immortal explained. "My true self is overly alluring to Lower Realm Cultivators and mortals, which could easily disrupt romantic fates further. That would naturally be inappropriate."

Wang Mu was silent. That actually makes some sense, he thought.

Wang Mu had seen the Moon Immortal’s true form in the Moon Palace; she was indeed extraordinary.

"Does the chaos in mortal romantic fates affect your Upper Realm?" Wang Mu asked.
