Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 614: Xie Houye

The Crown Prince of the Immortal Moon Empire is a position that can be said to be the next emperor. That’s why his parents would train him to get stronger faster than his peers and allow him to learn how to notice things for himself. The need to read through the lines, the hidden meaning in people’s words or actions, and even when to speak and to stop. He had to read through people while preventing others from reading him.

That’s why he had guessed the meaning of the lady from before giving something precious as the poison gecko to their uncle, even the Longevity Pills one is something that those who have limited lifespan would fight for. But these two things were given to them by someone who seems like their sister yet treated them as strangers.

Crown Prince Yue Leiya recalled something in the past.

"If I remembered it correctly, when our sister was about to ascend to Mastery Realm that one time, her soul split according to what father had seen the moment he tried to save her," mumbles the Crown Prince.

The Second Prince Yue Wuya looked confused as he could understand what his brother was talking about. Though the second prince is always like this.

Yue Wuya asked, "I don’t understand what you are talking about, brother."

"Hm. Shut up for a bit let me think first," said Yue Leiya.

The second prince was used to this and shut his mouth as he was told. Though based on raw strength alone he is stronger than his elder brother, when it comes to things that use his brain he is useless. The all brawn type of prince.

Yue Leiya peered at his uncle who was smiling clearly, he had no intention of telling him something and even if he had guessed he wouldn’t receive an answer unless he gave him something he was sure of.

The Crown Prince asked the Thunder King, "Uncle, she is our sister’s part soul which was split during her failed tribulation."

"Indeed she is. Also she might not know us but she seems to either have met her other half soul and inform her about us. She noticed the moon’s energy in your bodies and saved you. She noticed that I looked familiar. Might be your father and help me cure my thousand venom poison. Also she might be a doctor herself," said Lei Yuye.

Crown Prince Yue Leiya said, "The reason she doesn’t acknowledge us is because she can’t stay for too long and she still has someone to save. Uncle, will she be alright?"

"If I didn’t see her teleport, I would have flown towards the Death Swamp. Now she would be safer if no one was by her side. She can move easier that way. I have given her the whole map of the Immortal World in my mind. She would be able to teleport anywhere she wanted next time she comes back."

"Now, do you understand why your father sent you here? He must have known about her coming. Let’s go! I want to ask that brother of mine about his schemes!" The Thunder King, Lei Yuye said.

The thunder king and the crown prince of the Everlasting Moon Empire were about to head home but were suddenly pulled back by the second prince.

Second Prince Yue Wuya asked, "What are you two talking about? I don’t understand a thing!"

Lei Yuye and Yue Leiya sighed after being stunned for a moment. They had forgotten that someone like this existed in their group.

Yue Wuya who is seriously confused, "Why are you sighing!?"

Meanwhile above the Death Swamp...

There is unexpectedly a village in this deadly land. Within the swamp are poisonous creatures who can cause death at simple touch alone. They were so ferocious that even those in the village couldnot escape once they were caught.

Yue Xuexia overlooks the scenery below as she was high up above. She was checking the area where the parents of Xue Renxue are imprisoned. However, it seems that Xue Renxue’s father’s position in this Soul Hall is not simple. They are indeed locked in, but not in some underground prison but a luxurious room instead. Plus, the couple live together.

The couple is currently talking to an old man that seems to be at peak God King realm. A bit stronger than the Thunder King. This person is only one step away in reaching the Imperial Realm or the Mastery (Emperor) Realm. However, compared to her current realm, this person is nothing.

She secretly eavesdrops into the conversation between the three people inside the room.

The old cultivator said, "Houyan, prepare for your engagement with the young princess of Death Valley."

"Are you crazy, Grandfather!? How many times do I need to tell you that I am married!?" Xie Houyan said while protecting his wife who stood behind him.

Mrs. Xie or the Supreme Elder of the Snow Clan Miss Xue looked so wrong that she is about to cry. When they were first dragged into this world, the first thing she had noticed is that the lowest cultivation realm here is Mahayama Realm. She has only reached the Early Huashen Realm.

The grandfather of Xie Houyan is one of the ancestors of the Soul Hall, Xie Huoye. He is at Peak God King Realm. He looked down on the mortal wife of his grandson and felt extremely disappointed with him when he lost the soul token from his father.

Xie Houye frowned and said, "Your wife is a mortal and even mixed phoenix bloodline. If the phoenix tribe learns of her existence, Soul Hall will be besieged by them. Just let her go."

"No! That is one thing I will never agree with!" Xie Houyan rebuked.

The old man looked at his grandson and felt more disappointed. If not for the fact only this brat knew where the Soul Token is, he would have killed him already. Only with the Soul Token can one come to the main branch and ask for an official position. Those who received the Soul Token are the real leader of each soul hall’s branch.

Before his son had received it instead of him and this is due to his son’s talent being above him. Who would have thought he would die young and sent his son away.

Xie Houye sighed.

He said, "Alright. The Young Princess of the Death Valley doesn’t care if you are married or not. Anyway this engagement is only a sign of alliance with the Death Valley and the Soul Tower."

The main branch of the Soul Hall is the Soul Tower where only those at Imperial Realm can enter. After the death of the Immortal Sun Emperor, those hidden Mastery Realm Cultivators had all come out as there is no one who can stop them from doing as they wish. It’s because of this that the Immortal World is much more dangerous than when the Immortal Sun Emperor is alive.

Xie Houyan and his wife were distraught by the words of the elder before them. Just as the couple was about to despair, a messenger of the soul hall came over to report to Xie Houye.

"Hall Master! Bad news! According to the people who had returned from the outskirts, Lord Houzen was killed! Not even a hint of his soul was spared!"

The messenger looked pale and terrified. A person who can destroy even one’s soul is not easily done. Moreover, according to the news the killer is just a young lady and seems to be someone who is connected to Young Lord Houyan.

Hall Master Xie Houye was enraged. Xie Houzen is his favorite son and even more than the deceased father of Xie Houyan. Now that he died there is no way he will forgive the person who did it.

Xie Houye said, "Who did it? The Thunder King!? He must pay for killing my son!"

"N-No, not the Thunder King. Someone... someone else did it. The killer is... a young lady. A young lady who is connected to the Moon Clan!" The messenger responded to the question of the Hall Master.

The Hall Master’s face turns placid when the Moon Clan is mentioned. This is one of the biggest and strongest clans in the Immortal World even the Soul Tower is nothing. It was unknown what number of Mastery Realm cultivators were hidden in that empire. There is even a Tribulation Realm monster hiding in that place. Something Xie Houye could never offend.

Xie Houye asked with urgency, "Why did someone from the Moon Clan kill Houzen? What the hell did he do?"

"That soul... the souls Lord Houzen took away. It seems that they are connected to that young lady. A-Also they said that the young lady is... is the former Moon Empress, Moon Goddess Yue Xuehua!?" The messenger said.

The first one to deny it was Hall Master, Xie Houye. "There is no way that the Moon Empress is alive. She is dead and hasn’t even reincarnated. If she did then the Star Emperor would have found her already!"

"B-But they said she used Moon Spirit Dharma and... the late Moon Empress’s artifacts, Qieyue and Jingyue, were in her hands! She even helped the Twin Moon Princes and the Thunder King! Everybody is saying that she is back!"

The more the messenger said the more speechless, Xie Houye is. If his son, Xie Houzen truly offended that Empress then this hall is...

Xie Houye looked up only to see a young woman in ancient white robes with long white hair and a pair of silver irises with her face hidden behind a half mask of demon and angel’s face looking at him coldly.

The moment he saw the crescent moons at the depths of this young lady’s eyes, Xie Houye immediately knew that it was she the messenger was talking about.

It seems that the Moon Goddess is truly back.
