Chapter 1323: Secret of the Sky Sundial Jade Spider
A hundred dark green trees and a thousand chirping birds. Faint light dispersed throughout the blossoming branches of the trees. A shallow pond of red carp, a cliff covered with lush grass. This place was the epitome of a carefree paradise.
This place had many different geographical formations and was full of natural energy.
Rainy weather, snowy weather, clear weather, cloudy weather, sunny weather, and dark night coexisted. It was as though this paradise would become the entire natural environment when it was expanded.
13 extraordinary figures stood next to a middle-aged woman dressed in purple fur with 12 fox tails.
The woman held a crystal ball and was looking up at the sun and two moons hanging in the sky.
Her previous look of sorrow and anxiousness had been replaced by gratitude and nostalgia.
She sighed softly and said, “Our Heavenly Family Cottage owes the Radiance Federation too large of a favor. I can’t believe the Moon Empress stepped in to save Jade Sundial and Blood New Moon’s child.”
It was as though the woman was looking at that young girl who insisted on taking the Sacred Cry Moon Beast. Now, that girl had grown up to become a member of royalty who could protect a federation.
After the splatter of so much blood, that young girl had long repaid the favor she owed. Now, it was the Heavenly Family Cottage’s turn to owe that young girl a favor.
Ever since Blue Lotus, Blood New Moon, and White Phoenix went out on their mission, Purple Love had decided that the Heavenly Family Cottage would fight with Tower Canon to the end.
…
The Heavenly Family Cottage had not engaged in earthly matters or caused any trouble for close to a millennium.
However, the Fifth Page of Tower Canon had secretly killed a member of the Heavenly Family Cottage.
Now, the Heavenly Family Cottage had discovered her child because it was awakening its bloodline.
If Jade Sundial’s power had not been diminished due to her pregnancy, there was no way that Fifth Page Truth would have dared to engage her.
Purple Love looked pained yet happy when she saw the moonbeams entangled with the sunlight.
She took out a tangerine handkerchief and held it up. The sun glowed with a gentle light.
The four corners of the handkerchief reached out as though to hug something. It was unknown if the handkerchief wanted to hug the sun or the tortured Mother of Bloodbath.
When Purple Love took out the handkerchief, the 13 figures behind her started crying.
A delicate young girl with light yellow hair gently wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.
She was wearing an elegant light yellow dress that had a pair of flowers pressed onto the hem.
The girl’s hand was too small, and so many tears were flowing down her face that one of the tears slid down her face and landed on her dress.
The girl’s tear looked like a dew drop on her dress as it trickled down the forest of flowers on her dress.
The young girl looked like a veritable celestial being.
Yet, she was not the most eye-catching being amongst the 13 figures.
At that moment, a chilling yet concerned voice sounded beside the light yellow-haired girl, “Pear Drop, why are you always crying? You cry every time what happened to Sister Jade Sundial is mentioned. It would be fine if this was any other time. But now, it’s a tremendously joyful occasion for Sister Jade Sundial and Blood New Moon’s child has been found. Why are you crying?”
Pear Drop was crying out of sadness. But now, she started sobbing even harder as she wailed, “Wish Ice, I can’t help it!”
The crying Pear Drop let out an uncontrollable hiccup amidst her weeping.
As she looked at Pear Drop, the short-haired woman with purple leather armor shook her head in vexation.
Wish Ice, you are an idiot!
Wish Ice had been pining after Pear Drop for at least four centuries but had never confessed his feelings. Instead, he treated her more meanly than the others did.
Was this a dumb trick to hide his feelings? The short-haired woman with purple leather armor felt anxious on Wish Ice’s behalf.
If Wish Ice continued along this trajectory, not only would he be unable to get Pear Drop to return his feelings, but Pear Drop might even end up resenting him.
The short-haired woman with purple leather armor gently patted Pear Drop’s back to help with the hiccups and said sternly to Wish Ice, “Pear Drop’s true body is the Plum Drop Pear Flower. So, obviously, she cries like the falling of pear flowers.”
Wish Ice scoffed and turned his head as he chided himself.
Ah! I want to wipe Pear Drop’s tears so badly. Since she’s this sad, why doesn’t she come to me to use my shoulder? I’ve already made my intentions so obvious. Why can’t you feel it? I told you not to cry so that you’ll think of coming to lean on my shoulder! If I use my chilly aura to freeze your tears, you won’t be able to cry anymore! What a stupid woman!

Pear Drop knew that today was a joyous occasion and that crying would affect her companions’ emotions.
She fought back her tears while saying to the short-haired woman with purple leather armor, “Thank you, Sister Ochre Deer.”
The 13 people beside Purple Love were the members of the Heavenly Family Cottage who had not been sent out on missions yet.
The 13 members of Heavenly Family Cottage had their gazes fixated on the sun as they waited for the sun to form an eternal link to Jade Sundial and Blood New Moon’s child, as that would mean that it had truly unlocked its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline.
At that moment, a nine-tailed fox tunneled out of the irises beside Purple Love. It nuzzled Purple Love and asked, “Auntie Purple, the celestial phenomenon is a clear sign that the Moon Empress from the Radiance Federation is helping Auntie Jade Sundial and Uncle Blood New Moon’s child. So, why did you say that there are others who are also helping Sister Blood Love?”
When the small fox mentioned the name Blood Love, Purple Love’s eyes misted over.
Time had passed, and her friend had passed.
Purple Love looked at the tangerine handkerchief as though the bright, kind-eyed, lovely, and quiet girl was still there.
Jade Sundial was the second member of the Heavenly Family Cottage. This ranking did not represent her power but her age.
It could be said that the Heavenly Family Cottage had been built from the ground up by Purple Love and Jade Sundial.
They performed the parental roles in the Heavenly Family Cottage, and parents could never talk about their problems to their children.
Thus, no one knew better than Purple Love how badly Jade Sundial had wanted a child.
