ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Luo Guxie landed somewhere in the Frigid Origin Realm and released the people trapped inside the sphere.

Yue Wugou's face turned completely pale, and her legs lost all strength. Supported by Yun Wuji and Xia Qingyue, she cried out, "Wuya! His life is in danger!"

Although her affection for him had faded after being transferred to Xia Qingyue, he was still the man she had loved for years. Naturally, she felt anxious and panicked for him.

"Mother, don't worry. Foster father is a God Emperor, he'll be fine," Xia Qingyue gently patted her mother's back, trying to comfort her with a distressed look. Although she and Yun Wuji had planned everything from the start, seeing her mother like this made her heart twist with pain.

"Mother-in-law, Qingyue is right. If the Moon God Emperor wants to escape, no one can stop him. He will be fine," Yun Wuji said gently as he held her hand. He infused his Light Profound Energy to soothe and calm her heart.

Honestly, he didn't even want to get involved in this messy family situation. If it weren't for Xia Qingyue and Jasmine, he would've just blitzed all the Moon Gods and ended it there.

Aside from the stupid mistake of taking his anger out on Jasmine's mother, Yue Wuya was actually a pretty decent person by this world's standards.

However, Yun Wuji couldn't do anything about it. Unlike Qianye Ying'er, who had actively plotted against them, she hadn't taken anyone's life directly. Xisu gave up his life willingly and even left a message explaining his intention. As for Yue Wugou, although she was seriously injured, if that accident hadn't happened, Xia Qingyue wouldn't have been born.

So there was a way for the two women to forgive her after all.

Yue Wuya, on the other hand, was the direct cause of Jasmine's mother's death.

Even though Yun Wuji had no hard feelings toward the man, he had always tried to keep his distance. Most of their interactions were limited to polite remarks, as he didn't want to form any bond that would make him feel guilty later.

Xia Qingyue was the same. Although she called him 'foster father', she didn't have a good impression of him either. Most of the time, she kept her distance and stayed close to her mother.

"Qingyue, Yang'er," Yue Wugou's heart eased as tears blurred her vision. She stared at the two youngsters before her; they were now her only emotional support in this world. Instinctively, she leaned toward Yun Wuji, drawn by the strange, gentle, and soothing feeling he gave her.

"..." Xia Qingyue's brows twitched as she watched the scene. She couldn't help but remember how whenever Yun Wuji finished his treatment sessions with Yue Wugou, her mother always had flushed cheeks and a dazed expression like she had just been through a rough sex session. But that was impossible since Xia Qingyue had been there the whole time.

But... If this keeps up, soon her mother might become her sister!

Yun Wuji glanced at her with an expression that seemed to say, What are you looking at? I swear I'm innocent! He really had no interest in Yue Wugou. She had been through so much emotional conflict already, and he didn't want to make things worse. Even when he transferred her emotions, he did it carefully and only toward her daughter.

He didn't like brainwashing people to love him. That was way beneath his pride. He was Yun Wuji, the most unique person in the world, the greatest genius to ever be born and ever will be. More importantly, he was the most handsome man in all existence. Why would he need to stoop to cheap tricks like brainwashing to win a woman's love?

If he were that desperate, all he had to do was go outside and stand in a crowd. Women of all kinds would fight for his attention. He was just that fatally attractive.

"Master, what should we do now?" Yun Wuji glanced at Luo Guxie and asked with hesitation.

Luo Guxie's face looked grim, as if she couldn't accept what had happened earlier when Jasmine looked down on her. She glanced at the three of them and said seriously, "I will go take a look. You three should stay here until I return."

"No! It's too dangerous!" Yun Wuji's face changed as he shouted anxiously, acting like she was really risking her life.

"Senior!" Xia Qingyue spoke nervously, addressing Luo Guxie with perfect formality, as if she had never seen her naked with a completely melted face during their orgies.

"Fairy Guxie," Yue Wugou, the only one who seemed clueless, glanced at Luo Guxie with a hopeful expression.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to take a look and see if I can help," Luo Guxie said softly. Her long, black, lustrous hair swayed as she reached out and patted Yun Wuji's head affectionately. "Yang'er, while I'm gone, make sure to protect them."

With that, she transformed into a green-amethyst streak of light and flew away.

...

Swoosh!

A purple beam of light streaked through the void, flying at an incomparably fast speed. When it brushed past a large meteor, the shockwaves blasted it into tiny pieces.

Yue Wuya's face was pale, his hand clenched over the hole in his chest. An ominous green color permeated the wound, even his eyes glowing with that sickly hue. "What kind of poison is this?!" To escape the three Star Gods, he'd been forced to burn his blood essence, executing a divine technique to temporarily explode with greater strength.

However, he didn't expect Jasmine's last attack to carry poison, and it was such a terrible poison that his profound energy couldn't suppress it. On the contrary, the more he mobilized his profound energy, the more the poison spread through his body. It was as if the poison was feeding on his profound energy, spreading itself within.

What made it worse was that during the chase, he'd sustained countless injuries; Jasmine especially had skewered him from behind repeatedly with her energy beams. His back now looked like a sieve, riddled with gaping holes.

"Cough! Damn it! Is this really the end?" Yue Wuya coughed up another mouthful of blood, stained green and looking strange and creepy. The best thing for him now would be to stop and find a place to recuperate, especially avoiding the use of his profound energy. But that was impossible in his current situation. He didn't know if the Star God Realm was still chasing him.

"Wugou..." He'd already resigned himself to fate. He knew death was coming; the prophecy would fulfill itself no matter how he struggled. All he wanted now was to see Yue Wugou one last time before the end.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, his expression tensed as he sensed an extremely powerful aura coming from ahead. But the next moment, his face relaxed when he recognized who was coming. Soon, the figure of the purple beauty, Luo Guxie, appeared before him.

"Fairy Guxie," Yue Wuya spoke with a hoarse and weak voice.

"Moon God Emperor! You are seriously injured!" Luo Guxie's eyes widened as she looked at his wounds in disbelief. Without wasting any time, she said, "Let's go to Yang'er. He will heal you!" She waved her hand, and a burst of wind profound energy enveloped them as they rushed back to the Frigid Origin Realm.

"..." Yue Wuya didn't speak. He let her take him, but he wasn't as optimistic as she was. With memories inherited from previous Moon Gods, he knew the Light Profound Energy better than most. He also knew that while it could heal his injuries, the chance of it curing such a terrible poison was very slim.

...

"Wuya!" As soon as the two returned, Yue Wugou rushed to them and shouted anxiously, seeing his terrible injuries.

"Wugou, don't worry. I'm alright... Cough! Cough! Cough!" Yue Wuya forced a smile, trying to ease her, but just after speaking, he began coughing up a mouthful of green blood.

"Moon God Emperor!" Yun Wuji rushed over and grabbed the man's hand. He injected his Light Profound Energy to heal him. The effect showed immediately as the injuries began to heal slowly but visibly. However, Yun Wuji did not show any relief. Instead, his expression grew darker.

"You are poisoned!" Yun Wuji glanced at him and said gravely.

"Poisoned?!" Both Xia Qingyue and Yue Wugou exclaimed at the same time. Yue Wugou covered her mouth, tears streaming from her reddened eyes. "Yang'er! Please help him! You have the Light Profound Energy. You have to help him!"

"..." Yun Wuji didn't speak. He just gave her a helpless look.

Yue Wuya pulled back the hand Yun Wuji was holding and said with an indifferent smile, "Don't waste your energy, young master Fei. I already know my condition very well."

"The poison has already penetrated deep inside my body," he said with a grave expression. Then his eyes turned to Xia Qingyue. "Qingyue, foster father doesn't have much time left. Can I have a word with you alone?"

Although he had imagined this scene before, when he proposed to take her as his adoptive daughter, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Yes, Foster Father." Xia Qingyue was surprised, but soon replied calmly. She handed her mother to Yun Wuji and followed Yue Wuya, who flew to a far distance.

"...Wuya," Yue Wugou muttered with a complex expression as she watched the two figures flying away. She had lived with Yue Wuya for so long and could guess what he was about to do. Her feelings were conflicted.

"Mother-in-law, everything will be alright," Yun Wuji said as he patted her back and watched the duo.

Their plan had been going very well. Yue Wuya thought he had escaped successfully, but he didn't know that Jasmine was the one who allowed him to escape in the first place.
