Mark was more surprised with the fact that this cute-looking rabbit is a Saint-realm beast and even more absurd is that it is over 10 million years old.

”Is it immortal?” Mark couldn’t help but wonder; his gaze was mostly fixed on the tiny thing that was flying beside the muscled warrior.

As they reached him, Mark calmly greeted them with a casual bow, ”Hello.”

The man returned the greetings with a nod and introduced himself, ”I’m Li, the chief of the celestial lunar guards.”

”Yutu, Milady’s personal assistant”

The rabbit’s behavior made it seem like it was annoyed and also looked down on Mark. The latter wondered whether it was because it was in the Saint realm.

Mark bowed to them once again as their information was updated, ”Nice to meet you, I’m Lu Zhen.”

The rabbit then spoke, ”You know we were watching you from the beginning. Your energy reserves don’t even reach up to the basic mark that our maids in the palace have. However, your body could take hits. Your magic attacks are abnormal and could even rival this man’s power, but you don’t know how to utilize it properly.

Milady wants to ask you how you saw through the illusion when you are a mortal who has yet to lose his materialistic desires.”

If it was the past Mark, he would have been by the rabbit’s tone, but several things that happened during the past year changed him. Departure of the system, reconciling with his parents, his marriage to Song Yue, and becoming a dad; these things primarily had a huge influence on Mark’s mind and he had become too soft enough to not mind such words from the rabbit.

In fact, he became even more understanding.

Mark looked at the rabbit and then spared a glance at the warrior beside him, ”If your master wants the answer, I will answer to her directly.”

The rabbit frowned and commented, ”You are arrogant, mortal.”

Mark put up his fake smile on his face and gave a cheeky reply, ”I passed all of your trials. You must give me a room to be proud, mister.”

The jade rabbit stared at Mark for a few seconds in silence and eventually let out a sigh, ”Well, I have to follow orders anyway. Follow us.”

”Wait, what about my sister?” asked Mark in a hurry.

The rabbit answered as it floated in the air, turning around, ”She is still in trials. But, nothing to worry about, even if she fails, she won’t die.”

”Okay, that’s good,” Mark sighed in relief and followed the rabbit and the man who turned around.

As they reached the portal, he opened his mouth once again, ”Just one last thing. Who is your master, by the way?”

”You will understand everything when you go there,” replied the rabbit as it flew into the portal. Li, the warrior, then added his opinion, ”I would give you a piece of advice though, Challenger Shang. Show your utmost courtesy in front of Her Majesty.” He followed the rabbit into the portal.

”These two individuals sure love to put on airs, but then again, they have the strength to act that way. If they are the subordinates, I wonder how strong their master will be. Syl said one must be in God’s realm to remove that curse on Xiao Jiao,” Mark muttered under his breath before stepping inside the portal too.

The scenery changed once again; this time, he found himself in the middle of a grand hall, bathed in a soft, silvery-bluish glow that seemed to be emanating from the walls.

There is so much to describe the beauty of the grand hall but Mark’s gaze was only fixed on one person, the lady with ethereal beauty.

Since Song Yue, he has never witnessed a beauty that could raise his heartbeat to such an extent.

Her hair is long, flowing, and lustrous. Her eyes are deep and enchanting. They have a serene, otherworldly quality, and when she gazes, it feels as if she can see into one’s very soul. Her complexion is flawless and pale. It has a delicate, almost translucent quality that adds to her ethereal presence. Her beauty is timeless and otherworldly.

The woman wore flowing robes made of the finest silks; these robes were adorned with patterns of stars, moons, and celestial motifs, and they moved as if with a life of their own, gently floating around her.

She wore delicate jewelry crafted from gems that looked a bit like sapphire but Ark says it is an unknown element. These pieces are understated yet elegant, enhancing her natural beauty without overshadowing it.

She is also surrounded by a soft and radiant glow of the aura of divinity.

In both of his lives, Mark was confident that Song Yue was the perfect woman he ever saw up close.

But, when the Goddess came near him, he couldn’t help but think that even his wife pales in comparison to her.

The Goddess walked up to him as the warrior and the rabbit went down to one of their knees while keeping their gaze on the floor. She eventually stopped, about five to six feet away.

Letting out a smile, she spoke, ”Welcome to the Lunar Palace, mortal.”

”Who… who are you?” Mark stuttered a little bit, reacting to her greetings. When he realized his folly, he hurriedly bowed, ”I’m sorry. I mean, I haven’t heard of your identity, Your Grace.” He tried to be as polite and formal as he could. It was quite hard for him, who was used to ordering everyone or speaking casually.

After all, this is an entity that has the power to destroy an entire planet at will. Even if he uses everything he has, he won’t be able to kill her. Hence, he had to be courteous as he was advised. Moreover, on the way, she experienced how even his inventory was locked. Who knows what powers she might have?

The Goddess let out a giggle but covered her mouth with her hand, ”Relax, mortal. I’m not as strict as those gods who care about hierarchy. As for my identity, you can call me Chang’e. If it is too much, you can address me as ’Your grace’ as everyone does.”

The rabbit raised its eyes and took a glance at her master and thought, ’As if you don’t care about hierarchy, you two-faced devil. You are famous for bullying your servants when they are not too courteous toward you and act as if you are the Jade Emperor.’

Its eyes then glance to the right to spot the mortal who was standing toe to toe against his master, ’I really wonder what’s in this mortal that Milady was so interested about that she even pardoned him from the formalities, which she only does with other fellow deities of the heavenly palace.’

Mark raised his head to look at her directly and became dazed for a second before he controlled himself and cupped his fists with a bow, ”If Your Grace is the one that I’m here for, then, I humbly request you to save my sister from the curse she got from a cosmic orb.”

”The Orb of Time,” commented the Goddess in response. ”Yeah, I sensed it. It’s not a problem.”

”Then…” Mark looked at her hopefully.

However, the Goddess’ following words caused turmoil in his heart, ”But, we cannot just do favors on mortals. It goes against the code of the heavenly palace. A price needed to be paid.”

”Price? What is it?” Mark didn’t promise right away and asked her. He decided to reject the request if it involved his personal life. For example: working for her as a slave for a certain period of time, or something like that.

The Goddess then said, ”You have to bring back Hou Yi’s soul that was supposedly imprisoned in the Netherworld.”

”Eh?”
