Heaven Realm...
The newborn deity, Moon Goddess, was practicing martial art at her courtyard in heavenly palace. She was in the middle of creating a new sword art.
As a deity, Chang'e was born with the purest yang energy and the Aura inside Heaven Realm could make her energy grew in fast speed. As she her moves grew faster, Chang'e noticed another breath at her courtyard. Landing on the ground gracefully, she shouted.
"Who is it?"
"I didn't expect you to know my existence right away."
A male voice, slightly deep and hoarse could be heard. Chang'e turned her body and she could see a man stood a little bit far from where she stood. Standing in dignified way with his hands behind the back, the man looked so divine.
Walking closer toward her, Chang'e noticed that just like other deities, the man had a handsome face. His black hair looked silky, reaching to his upper back. However, what caught Chang'e's eyes was the man's eyes. He had two different eye color, one was purple while the other one was blue.
"You are.."
Chang'e felt she had seen the man at the Heaven Banquet but she never had a conversation with him because he always stood near the Heavenly emperor.
"Oh? You know me?"
The man tilted his head slightly, his eyes were cold and sharp. There was no smile one the man's face, but curiosity was brimming from that cold expression on his face.
Chang'e nodded, "I have seen you standing next to Heavenly Emperor at the first banquet to welcome me into the rank of Deities."
The man snorted coldly, "It's rare for a newborn deity to notice me."
"Why is rare?" Chang'e asked, tilting her head as she moved closer to the man.
Seeing Chang'e's behavior, an eyebrow rose. "I always cover my body with aura so other deities don't notice my presence."
"why you go such length? Isn't troublesome?" Chang'e asked, clearly confused.
She didn't know why this man troubled himself to conceal his presence. Was it because he was shy? But the man came to her courtyard on his own volition. A shy person wouldn't do that, right?
The man didn't say anything for a while but under Chang'e's innocent stare, he couldn't stay silent. Slowly, he opened his lips and gave the answer.
"Because other deities are uncomfortable with my eyes!"
Chang'e was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the man who had distorted expression on his face.
"What?" The man snapped at Chang'e, "You also find my eyes are weird and uncomfortable with it?!"
Finally Chang'e laughed hard after hearing the man's question and the distorted expression on the man's face grew even more. He thought Chang'e was mocking him and he was about to turn but Chang'e grabbed his wrist to stop him.
"Wait! Sorry for laughing but I just found that your question was funny, so I laughed." Chang'e explained.
"I am not mocking you." She added, trying to reassure the man.
Her words caused the man to turn around while he felt his wrist was on fire because of Chang'e's touch.
"Why is it funny?" The man asked.
"It's funny because you think that all deities think alike while the truth might not be like that at all." Chang'e answered.
"You act as if you know what other deities think about me. You are just a newborn deity who knows nothing." The man scoffed and sneered at her.
