Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 602: Out of Seclusion

That night, the Immortal Sun Emperor and his Great General Taiyang had left the Exiled Star and headed for the Immortal World. He had said his goodbyes with the Moon Goddess as for the others he doesn’t care about them at all. Yue Xuexia after seeing Shen Jueyang that night heads back to her room and continues her seclusion.

Tan Bingyu and the rest waited for her to come out while others, especially the seniors, had left the mansion to continue their own business. Grandma Su Hialun also had to prepare things on their side. It was already

A month later...

Yue Xuexia finally exited from her seclusion training and saw that only Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and Baimei remained in the mansion. Most of those who stayed over had all left a few weeks, or days ago. The Moon Goddess doesn’t seem to be surprised as she already expected this situation. Shen Jueyang had informed her about the opening of the ancient ruins which is a few years away from today. Years can easily pass especially for cultivators.

When she went down from her room, Yue Xuexia met Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue in the living room. One is cultivating, trying to control both ice and fire energy in his body. The other is trying to control her phoenix bloodline making it harder for others to feel. As for Baimei, she was fed a lot of Spirit Food during times they were in the dungeon and ever since she joined Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue’s side. Right now, she is also meditating in her own way. After all, she is a beast and her way of cultivation is completely different from her human masters.

Tan Bingyu happily greeted her upon sight.

"Mistress, you’re awake! Would you like some breakfast?" The competent aide of the Moon Goddess asked.

Yue Xuexia took a seat on a single seater couch and responded, "No need for breakfast. A cup of hot café au’ lait would do."

"I will make some for you, Mistress!" said Tan Bingyu as she headed to the side bar of the room.

After seating, Yue Xuexia pulled another book from her inventory learning something new again. The long time forgotten sound of the system in her head once again rang.

[Ding! It’s been awhile, Host! This system is back to serve you, my host!]

Yue Xuexia was stunned at first and calmed down at second. She responded to the system in her head. This way they can communicate without affecting reality.

’You are back. It’s rare that I couldn’t sign in rewards to every hall in the secret dungeon. Is that place not a special location for signing in with the system?’ the Moon Goddess asked.

[Answering to the host, the secret dungeon sign-in rewards were given as piled up rewards before the host went inside. This system is unable to work inside the location as a group of divinities working as one created this dungeon and it’s beyond this system’s control. All I can do is take some things to allow them to descend. This system might get noticed and bad things would happen.]

’Will this system still work in another world?’ Yue Xuexia asked.

[Of course, Host! It’s just in separate dimensions with multiple owners and them possessing the cultivation realm beyond Tribulation Realm, this system had to move carefully. That is unless I upgraded and possessed enough energy to protect the host in case we got caught.]

’So you can be detected. How can you upgrade then?’ The Moon Goddess asked. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[Um. To upgrade this system, the Host must defeat another world’s Heavenly wills, catch them and feed it to the system. Or find another system and feed it to this system.]

’So you can be upgraded by eating.’ Then the Moon Goddess suddenly asked, ’Are you connected to Yangyang and Jueyang because you three are gluttons?’

[...]

The system didn’t know how to answer. It was caught off guard and was rendered speechless by this question.

[This system just doesn’t eat anything like those two!!]

’Um. A picky glutton,’ said Yue Xuexia.

[I am not!!!]

After having enough fun teasing her own system, Yue Xuexia drinks the cup of cafe au’ lait served by Tan Bingyu who then sits back on the seat near Xue Renxure.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Have the elders all left?"

Tan Bingyu answered, "Yes. Old Master Xia and Old Mistress Su had left with the people from the Starfield Sect. Grandpa and Grandma left with them. Saying that they need to make preparation for the opening of the Ancient Ruins. They still need to divine where and when it would descend in this world."

"As for my Dad, he left to pick up Mom to the Heavenly City. The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect had set out with them. I and Renxue plans to return to the North to make our final preparations for the ruins as well."

"The three goddesses had also taken their leave with the Poison Goddess taking control of the Herb Valley and the Holy Witch leaving with the Qin Ancestor."

"There is something I must report to the Mistress. According to my Martial Uncle, Wan Yuyan, it seems that there are cases of people targeting the chosen heirs of the fallen gods from that hidden dungeon. Can legacies be stolen so easily like that?" Tan Bingyu asked in confusion.

The Moon Goddess calms and takes a sip from her drink before giving her loyal aide an answer.

She said, "As long as the heir is dead, then the legacy will be left behind. It’s just a question of compatibility and if the original god is willing to accept the killer. Why do you think that some of those gods even in their soul form chose to leave the dungeon and come out with their successor. The real purpose of this is for their heir’s protection."

"I see. No wonder the God of Wind by Martial Uncle’s side chose to come out with him. Then our ancestor he..." Tan Bingyu said.

The Moon Goddess said, "He wanted to protect you. However, unless he hatches from his current state, it will still be you guys protecting him instead. His birth would take a while as he was merely a soul wisp when he survived."

"I will continue my journey. This time I am heading to Xinglou Empire to find the people who come with us. Maybe my family is there too. There is no need for you two to come with me. You can focus your preparations for the Ancient Ruins. According to Jueyang, the minimum requirement to enter the Ancient Ruins is Huashen Realm and not many can enter with us this time. As for those at Yuanyung Realm, if you wish to bring them they can only stay in someone’s inner world," Yue Xuexia said.

"Mistress, is Lord Shen or Taiyang not coming with us?" Tan Bingyu asked.

She noticed that her mistress and Lord Shen had met that one night. However, she hasn’t seen that person ever since the day they left the hidden dungeon. She wanted to ask where the man had gone to, but Tan Bingyu knew that the relationship between her mistress and that man isn’t the same as hers and Renxue. The two were not lovers, more like a close acquaintance with the man being in love with the woman.

What made their relationship unable to change from an ordinary one to an intimate one seems to have something from both of them. Tan Bingyu learned about her Mistress giving her heart to the heavens and getting it sealed. While the man is unable to move on completely from his past life, leaving an awkward relationship between the two of them.

Yue Xuexia answers her aide’s question. "We can only meet them again when we go to the Immortal World. They had completed what they came for in this world and Jueyang said his goodbye a month ago."

"I see. They had headed to the Immortal World. With their strength, there should be no problem venturing into the world beyond. Mistress, when are we going out of this world?" Tan Bingyu asked.

The Moon Goddess honestly answered, "When my trial is over, my cultivation realm will increase beyond the Huashen Realm. By that time, we can leave. However, by that time not everyone can leave with us. However, I won’t wait."

Yue Xuexia stood up preparing to check on the herb garden outside the mansion. She planned to transplant it to her inner world and let the children there take care of it. Meanwhile, Tan Bingyu who was left behind in the living room had fallen deep in her thoughts. The Moon Goddess’s words lingers in her ears.

Tan Bingyu mumbles, "It seems that I need to tell everyone to work hard and break through the Huashen Realm at least. So that when the Mistress decided to leave this world they should be able to at least go with her."

"Bing’er, don’t worry. I will definitely break through to the Huashen Realm before the Mistress chooses to depart from this world," said Xue Renxue.

It seems that he had overheard the conversation between Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu just now. They had longed to know that the Mistress isn’t meant to stay in this small world right from the beginning.
