A Quest

Olena always wanted to have a child. If fate is inevitable, she will face the challenge. She sees a shred of hope after chatting with Queen Dowager Yanti. She was right. We have to keep looking at the positive side to be able to live well.

She will follow in Queen Dowager Yanti's footsteps. After all, King Jamal was a loyal son to her. She believes in a good upbringing to the child, perhaps could break the entanglement.

Olena stood up, bowed to Queen Dowager Yanti and thanked her for giving her good advice. She left the temple with a carriage and headed back to the research institute.

At the research institute, Mori, Farah, Sora, Yoona, and Leah were anxiously waiting for Olena. They hope she will forfeit her dream to become a mother since the cursed child will bring harm to the people.

Olena came down from the carriage and entered the research institute. She looked at everyone and made a decision, "I want the baby and uses the strategy of killing the devil with kindness."

They looked at each other. Doesn't seem to like the answer.

Farah chuckled, "The devil hunters existed because it is impossible to kill the devil with kindness."

Mori pinched Farah's hand and whispered to Farah, "You just pour oil into the fire."

Sora raised her hand and gave a suggestion, "We should meet up with Master Woon. He is an experienced man. He probably can give us some good advice to help Olena and Crown Prince Liam."

Olena looked at Sora and nodded, "Yes, we should meet up with Master Woon. We can drop by at his hut tomorrow."

Crown Prince Liam grabbed Olena's hand and looked into her eyes, "I will support your decision."

Mori chuckled, "Our master probably feels grumpy now because it has been ages since we last visit him."

Sora nodded, "We need to bring a big jug of alcohol to spoil him. He always looked at us as if we only drop by to visit him only when we need him."

When the sun rose, Crown Prince Liam and Olena walked to the carriage with a jug of fermented alcohol to visit Master Woon. Mori, Farah, Sora, Yoona, and Leah tagged along.

In the carriage, Farah looked at Crown Prince Liam and complained about being a woman. Uncomfortable with the gown, menstruation, and many more. Crown Prince Liam laughed and agreed. He knows how Bobby felt because he felt the same when he transmigrated into Olena's body.

On their arrival, they greeted Master Woon with respect. Master Woon welcomed them and took the jug of alcohol from them. He looked at the alcohol with a big grin on his face. "One jug can last me for a day, next time bring more!"

He took them to the garden and served them with a cup of teas that he brewed.

Olena gazed at Master Woon. Master Woon noticed that Olena's face was flooded with worries, he stroked his beard and told them, "You guys come here for something important, right? Well, speak out!"

Olena sat next to Master Woon, pleading with him, "Master Woon, I am here to seek your advice."

Master Woon patted on Olena's hand, "My child, I am all ears."

Olena scowled in despair and spoke in a quivering voice, "Master, it may sound funny to you if I am going to tell you I have met the jade emperor, and the underworld lord." she pauses in her conversation and scratches her head, wondering how to explain to Master Woon.

Master Woon walked into the hut and came out with a brush, an inkstone and a piece of paper.

On the piece of paper, he wrote "Sun", "Moon", "Stars".

Master Woon pointed at the three words, "The immortal does exist. The human realm is in between the Heaven Realm and Hell Realm. The jade emperor is the ruler of the heavenly realm, and the underworld lord is the ruler of the hell realm. Together, both of them are in control of the human realm."

Crown Prince Liam asked, "You actually believe what we said?"

Master Woon nodded, "Yes, human beings only believe in what they saw. The human being cannot see the immortal but they do exist."

The topic has sparked an interest in them. He was the centre of attention.

Master Woon continued to speak confidently, "When the sun rises, this is the moment the heavenly realm will look after the human realm. The heavenly realm is mainly in charge of the birth of human beings."

He took a cup of tea to sip and continued, "When the sun sets, the moon will rise. This is the moment the hell realm will look after the human realm. The hell realm is mainly in charge of the human being's death. When a human being dies, the grim reaper will claim their soul and put them into a star. That's why you only see the stars appearing at night."

He looked at Olena and Crown Prince Liam. He said, "In a human being, they can only be born and die. Revive is not possible. If you choose to revive, you have revoked the agreement between the heavenly realm and hell realm. If you choose to revive, they will assign you a mission."

He pointed at Farah, Olena, and Crown Prince Liam, "The three of you revived, right? You have shadows in your eyes, it's a sign that you have revived. These eyes can see immortal and ghosts."

Farah, Olena and Prince Liam nodded. They did not expect Master Woon to know so much.

Prince Liam told Master Woon, "Yes, Olena and I revived from death and they gave us a mission to destroy the demon god. The jade emperor and underworld lord gave us special power too."

Bobby told Master Woon, "Farah died, and when I touched her body, her body absorbed my soul and I transmigrated into her body. "

Master Woon grabbed the hand of Olena, "I know what you are worried about, my child. Aliyah has harboured resentment towards you. That brings an entanglement between the two of you. She will reincarnate to be your child, but her evilness in her will continue to harm others. Even now, you will suffer throughout your pregnancy continuously being cursed by Aliyah in your womb."

Olena gasped in shock, "Master, you actually knew! I would like to use the strategy of killing the devil with kindness."

Master Woon slammed the table, "This will not work. She will gradually meet the demon god."

Prince Liam asked, "Is there any solution to this?"

Master Woon nodded, "I have two solutions for you. The first option is to have Olena abort the child and maintain it as childless for the rest of her life to prevent this situation."

Olena does not like this idea and she asked Master Woon, "What about the alternative solution?"

Master Woon then picks up the brush from the inkstone and writes the word - Dragon.

Master Woon explained to them, "Only a dragon can kill the demon god. Crown Prince Liam must marry another woman to give birth to this dragon."

Olena nodded, "He is the future king anyway, I expected him to have hundreds of concubines."

Crown Prince Liam looked at Olena in surprise, disappointed with her answer.

Master Woon continued to speak "Within this word, you can see the word moon and it has 3 strokes. You need to find a woman that has moonlight in her. She is living in a hut near to the ocean that has a connection to 3 riverbanks"

Yoona asked, "Why do we need to look for this woman?"

Master Woon replied to Yoona, "She will give birth to a son that inherits the throne from Crown Prince Liam. Right now, Aliyah has inherited the special power to give special ability. Crown Prince Liam will need a son to inherit the special power to retract the power from Aliyah to stop her from harming others with the special power she inherited."

Leah nodded, "No wonder, they can't give any special ability. So the evil queen has the magic power now. This is a nightmare!"

Master Woon asked, "Olena can only give birth to a child, and it's Aliyah. You need to have a son to inherit the throne. Otherwise, the monarch of Shilla will be extinct!"

Crown Prince Liam dare not answer. He looked at Olena and grabbed her hand, "As I said earlier, I would support your decision. What do you think?"

Olena inhaled a deep breath and said, "Let's go for the second option. Yoona, Mori, Sora, Leah, and Farah, please help to search for the woman with moonlight in her."

Master Woon gave them a reminder, "You can only find this woman in the night time. This woman will only shine at night. You can locate her in the heart of Shilla."

Crown Prince Liam wondered and intrigued to know about this moonlight lady. Will this lady open his heart and give birth to his child?
