Chapter 825: Beaten Pei Xiu

As expected when Pei Ju finished his meditation, he was scared out of his mind when he saw what he looked like on the mirror that was passed to him by one of the puppet maids. At first he was confused why the maid is giving him a mirror only to receive a big shock after seeing his face reflected on it.

"What the hell is this!?"Pei Ju screams in shock and denial.

He had suddenly turned from a handsome sickly old man to a young boy with slight baby fats and luster black hair. Moreover, he lost his favorite beard and each of his movements would make his chubby cheeks wobble making others want to pinch him.

"What the hell happened to me!?"Pei Ju exclaimed.

Hahahaha~

Meanwhile, watching his reaction from the side, the Moon Goddess is still alright as she can hold back her laughter. She doesn’t dare to laugh at a senior but Shan Xu was completely different from her. He was laughing out loud with tears pooling at the corner of his eyes. This shows how much he couldn’t control and couldn’t hold back himself upon watching Pei Ju’s reaction.

Pei Ju upon seeing this bad friend of his laughing at him without hesitation made him feel irritated. Like a stubborn little body he stomped on Shan Xu’s foot in anger.

He was even shouting the words,"Stop laughing!"

Ow!

Shan Xu thought he would be able to stop laughing due to pain but seeing Pei Ju’s bloated cheeks from anger, it made him laugh even more. He truly couldn’t hold back his laughter and then laughed for the second time. This time in the face of his bad friend, Pei Ju.

Pft! Hahahaha~

"S-Stop it! D-Don’t get too close. I’m dying! Puhaha~ damn!"said Shan Xu as he reached out a devilish hand, pinched and pulled the two wiggling cheeks of Pei Ju.

Pfft!

"What the hell happened to me?!"the young Pei Ju shouted in disbelief.

Even though he wanted to laugh even more under the murderous gaze of his friend, Shan Xu tried his best to hold it back. If not for his body trembling from holding back his laughter, he would be laughing out loud even now. Only when Pei Ju heard from his friend why he became this young that he realized how wasteful these puppet maids are.

That’s three full tubs of Immortal Mountain Dew he had just bathed in. Moreover, since he had absorbed its energy, the water in the wooden tub had long since become ordinary dirty water that can only be used to water plants. Moreover, the effects of the water had been absorbed by him, he can only bear with its effects for a year. A year later his original appearance would return. He can only accept this fact. However, he is thankful that all his hidden injuries have been healed and he can resume his cultivation.

The Moon Goddess said,"Uncle Pei, go and try to train for a while. I still need to treat Uncle Xu’s injuries."

"Are you willing to treat Lao Xu? Thank you so much, your majesty!"said Pei Ju.

Yue Xuexia said,"No need for thanks. As for my people, it’s only right for me to help them. Wait for a bit. I need to get a few spiritual herbs for the concoction he needs."

The Moon Goddess plans to pick some herbs at the greenhouse and leave the guests in the care of his puppet maids. What he didn’t know is that after she had left, the young Pei Ju jumped on Shan Xu and grabbed his beard.

Pei Ju said,"Speak, you damn old man! Since when have you become a person of her majesty!?"

"I’m not her subordinate. She is my master’s daughter though,"said Shan Xu, the Town Master.

Confused at first, Pei Ju mumbles,"Master’s daughter? ...Who is her majesty’s father? You do not have connections with the Moon Clan."

"I do not have any connection with the Moon Clan but I used to serve as a guard in the First Prince of the Regal Lei Clan’s Palace,"said Shan Xu.

Pei Ju was dumbfounded as he didn’t expect this old friend of his to have some old connection to the Regal Lei Clan. It no longer looks after the younger generation of that royal clan. So it was due to his connection in the past.

He suddenly recalled something and said,"Wait a minute. Isn’t the father of her majesty the Everlasting Moon Emperor? How did he become the first prince of the Regal Lei Clan? He is surnamed Yue."

"Did you not know? The master married into the Yue family and followed their family name. Before marriage he was called Lei Yuya,"the town master, Shan Xu said.

Now this old patriarch of the Pei Clan was speechless. This is something not known to many and only those who knew the relationship between the Yue and Lei Clans are those from the same clans. Only they know about this secret. After all, who would have expected that the first prince under the Lightning Emperor would be willing to marry in his wife’s clan.

By the time the Moon Goddess had returned, Pei Ju who just learned about this big secret had fallen in dazed. Yue Xuexia thought he had entered enlightenment seeing him like he had lost his soul. Meanwhile, she invited elder Shan Xu to another side and started his treatment. The treatment used on Shan Xu is similar to Pei Ju. They had the same kind of hidden injuries. The only difference is that Shan Xu isn’t poisoned but his hidden injuries had lasted longer than Pei Ju making his internal injuries more serious and needed the divine doctor’s Sacred healing skill for full recovery.

After the treatment, Shan Xu’s old and aging face as well as white hair and white beard had also returned to black. His age had regressed for him to look like he is in his late thirties looking so much like a good looking uncle. Moreover, due to his connection to Yue Yuya, it was decided that he would be leaving this town together with Yue Xuexia when it’s time. So Yue Xuexia had given him more incentives than an ordinary patient like Pei Ju. He received a lot of pills that would support his training to regain his original realm and some more gifts for him to enjoy.

As someone who serves the house of Yue Yuya, serving Yue Xuexia is no different than serving his own family’s princess. Shan Xu is very willing to do so. Moreover, his original realm is that of the Peak God King realm. As he is from the older generation, he is one of the oldest servants from the Regal Lei Clan and his talent is not ordinary as well.

During lunch, the Moon Goddess had invited Pei Ju and Shan Xu to eat with her and the children. When the two old men saw Yue Zhiya and realized who he was, they were surprised. After all, this is the missing child of the current Moon Clan’s Crown Prince and his Prince Consort, Lord Lei Ruiye. Moreover, it seems that this little prince didn’t know that his aunt Xue was indeed his biological aunt and the younger sister of his father, Yue Leiya.

Before leaving, Shan Xu and Pei Ju heard about Yue Zhiya’s situation and were angered by it. They had never expected that the Death Valley would make a move against someone from the royal family of the Moon Clan. But when the Moon Goddess said that it was due to her and her bad relationship with the fairy race that led to this situation that they immediately understood. If there is someone in this world that hates the existence of the Moon Empress the most it can only be that vicious Imperial Consort, the Fairy Queen.

The Moon Goddess sent the two guests out personally and the two elders were feeling delighted at heart due to their actions.

"Thank you for treating me your majesty. I will definitely give the payment for this treatment to Lao Xu,"said Pei Ju. Yue Xuexia nods at him in response.

Elder Shan Xu said,"Princess, when the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode is open I shall pick you up and send you there. It will also be the day when the core region will be open."

"Alright. Feel free to come over if you have something to report. I will give you permission for surprise visits,"said Yue Xuexia.

Shan Xu clasped his hand in farewell and said,"Thank you. It’s an honor, Princess."

After sending the two out, Yue Xuexia had returned to the mansion to clean up. There is a carriage waiting for the two old men, cough. One young boy and an uncle picked them up. Inside the carriage are Pei Ju’s sons, Pei Xiu and Pei Yun. They were actually confused when they saw an uncle and a young man climb up the carriage but even though Shan Xu had gotten younger his features remained the same so Pei Yun and Pei Xiu still recognize him. As for the child, they didn’t even guess that this is their father.

"Congratulations to Uncle Xu for successful treatment,"said Pei Yun.

Pei Xiu asked,"Uncle Xu, is this boy our father’s illegitimate son? He looks so much like us!"

Pfft! Hahahaha~

This day is something Pei Xiu will never forget in his whole life. This is the day that he had gotten a hell of a beating that he will never forget.
