Chapter 285 Experiences of Success
Lin Jinlan frankly stated, "My sister's red moon mark is on her left armpit, while mine is on her right armpit."
Lin Feiyan immediately blushed, and said with a hint of reproach, "You didn't need to say that out loud!"
"Hmm..." Xue Youyou blinked. It makes sense, for girls, the armpit area does seem to be quite private.
Lin Feiyan continued, "Actually, at first neither Jinlan nor I knew that this was the mark of being chosen by the Emperor's Sacrifice. We thought it had been tainted by something unclean until we read the statement from that Hero King. Since such a serious matter has occurred, I assumed that you and Yan Qing would also be chosen, so I came to discuss cooperation with you."
Lin Jinlan added at the opportune moment, "It means sharing weal and woe."
With the sisters' coordinated efforts, everyone understood that they had come specifically to seek an alliance.
Xue Youyou smiled and nodded, readily agreeing, "Okay."
For her, Lin Feiyan was someone she could trust, and since Lin Feiyan and Lin Jinlan were both Meng Yanqing's childhood sweethearts, forming an alliance was a natural progression.
Lin Feiyan smiled and said, "But I really didn't expect that so many people here would be chosen by the Emperor's Sacrifice. You truly deserve to be the champion team."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, and the others couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment. The champion team was indeed the champion team, but they had clearly won by default, and they still didn't understand how they had been chosen by the Emperor's Sacrifice.
"Alright."
Xue Youyou clapped her hands, and after everyone's attention was focused, she said slowly, "I already know the location of the Moon Goddess Palace. Time is of the essence, so let's set off now."
Her gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Lin Feiyan, Lin Jinlan, Meng Yanqing, Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, Lu Yutang, and Luo Yan, you stay here and come with me to the Moon Goddess Palace later. The rest of you, Dean Lu, take them to the Qingqiu Mountain Gate to find Tu Shanyue now and tell them that I asked them to hide with you for a while."
"Did you all understand?"
After Xue Youyou finished speaking, Ning Xiaoman and the other members of the second team, although they also wanted to go to the Moon Goddess Palace to broaden their horizons, knew that they were not qualified to participate. Now that they had received such a proper arrangement from Xue Youyou, it was already the best outcome.
Lu Yuan immediately replied, "Don't worry, I'll take them to hide in the mountains of Qingqiu."
Just then, Lin Yueyao suddenly raised her hand and said loudly, "Chief, I also want to go to the Moon Goddess Palace."
Xue Youyou frowned slightly and said decisively, "No."
However, Lin Yueyao did not back down. Instead, she mustered her courage and explained, "Actually... when you weren't here just now, Chief, I suddenly felt a bit... cold in my uterus, so I went to the restroom, and then I found out—"
As she spoke, she pulled up her Lanzhi Courtyard uniform slightly, revealing a section of her smooth, fair belly. Everyone looked up and saw a striking red crescent mark on her navel, which startled them all.
Lin Yueyao quickly put down the clothes, her face slightly flushed, and said, "It seems I've also been chosen for the Imperial Sacrifice. Please take me with you!"
Xue Youyou nodded, then asked with some doubt, "Didn't you notice last night?"
Lin Yueyao shook her head, her tone very certain: "I can say with absolute certainty that there was no such mark here last night, at least not before I went to sleep. I also checked carefully when I woke up this morning, and there really wasn't one. It must have been selected just now... after that moment."
She paused subtly at this point. She had intended to say that she was chosen by the Imperial Sacrifice after calling Xue Youyou "Mom," but seeing Lin Feiyan and Lin Jinlan present, she felt somewhat embarrassed to say it aloud.
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou couldn't help but marvel. Although she couldn't understand why Lin Yueyao was different from the others, she thought to herself, one more wouldn't hurt.
Just then, Ning Xiaoman suddenly jolted, as if something had struck the top of her head, and her eyes lit up with a "whoosh".
She abruptly turned to look at Lin Yueyao, her gaze so intense it seemed to spark in the air.
The words Lin Yueyao hadn't finished saying, the pause she swallowed halfway through, the incredibly subtle "back then"—others might not have thought about it, but Ning Xiaoman understood.
Wasn't it only after she called Xue Youyou "Mom" that she was chosen by the Emperor's Sacrifice?
The logic couldn't be clearer!
Ning Xiaoman took a deep breath, her chest feeling like it was pounding with a lively rabbit. She knew what she was about to do might be a little embarrassing, but compared to being chosen by the Emperor and going to the Moon Goddess Palace, what did embarrassment matter!
Ning Xiaoman may be shameless, but she absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
Before anyone could react, Ning Xiaoman dashed to Xue Youyou, clenched her fists at her sides, focused her energy, and then, with all her might, shouted a thunderous—
"Mother!"
The voice was powerful and resonant, echoing throughout the room. The lingering sound bounced back and forth between the walls several times before reluctantly dissipating.
The room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The expressions on everyone's faces were quite interesting.
Lin Feiyan, in particular, stared wide-eyed at Xue Youyou in disbelief.
Xue Youyou herself tilted her head slightly, a "Are you fucking kidding me?" expression on her face.
Why did they refuse to acknowledge their mother before, and now they're trying to?
Before the stunned crowd could recover, Ning Xiaoman had already lifted her clothes with lightning speed and stared intently at her flat stomach.
The area around her navel was smooth and her skin was fair and delicate, without even a mole, let alone any red moon mark.
Ning Xiaoman's brows furrowed.
But she did not lose heart.
She knew that the location of the mark was different for everyone.
So just because she doesn't have it on her stomach doesn't mean she doesn't have it elsewhere!
This idea gave Ning Xiaoman boundless courage.
Then, under the stunned gazes of everyone, she did something that everyone present would never forget—
She started taking off her clothes.
Coat... Shirt... Skirt... Socks...
One item after another, the movements were fluid and decisive, as if they were not undressing in public, but rather unwrapping a long-awaited gift.
In less than ten seconds, Ning Xiaoman was already standing naked in the center of the room.
Her figure is well-proportioned and strong, with smooth but not exaggerated muscle lines. It is the kind of powerful physique that can only be achieved through years of training.
She opened her arms wide and spun around slowly, then looked intently at the crowd around her who were completely petrified.
"Please help me check, are there any marks?"
silence.
A deathly silence.
