"I am an envoy from the Human Race's Qianyuan Sacred Ground. By decree of the Qin Emperor, I have come to see the Moon Emperor!"
Outside the Moon Race's territory, Xia Qun announced his arrival in a clear voice.
Soon.
Just then, a Moon Race expert appeared, her voice as gentle as spring rain. "Do you have any proof of your identity?"
"This is the Command Token of Qianyuan Sacred Ground."
With that.
The Command Token flew out.
The Moon Race expert extended a jade-white hand to catch it, then examined it carefully.
Standing to one side, Xia Qun could not help letting his gaze settle on her.
Everyone says the Moon Race is exceptionally beautiful. Now that I've seen one of them, I can see it's true.
Heavenly Pattern Island possessed the Human Race's complete heritage.
But that heritage.
Included not only the Human Race's ancient history, but also accounts of other races.
Xia Qun often stayed by Xia Chao's side.
Through that constant exposure, he had learned quite a lot.
Among other things.
He had heard of the Moon Race.
In Ancient Times.
The Moon Race had also been a great race. Its members, male and female alike, were exceptionally beautiful. The Moon Emperor of that era had even been hailed as the greatest beauty in all creation, with a chance of becoming the Celestial Court's Heavenly Queen.
Unfortunately.
For some unknown reason, the Elder Moon Emperor had never become the Heavenly Queen.
Looking at the Moon Race expert before him, Xia Qun let his thoughts wander.
Just then.
After thoroughly examining the Command Token, the Moon Race expert politely returned it.
"Please follow me inside and wait a moment, honored envoy. I must send word to the Moon Emperor before I can give you a definite answer."
