Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 620: Lost

After hearing the words of the third prince Russell, Gou Yura chose to agree with his plan. Faking marriage is alright with her as long as it wasn’t the real one. Gou Yuki and Lin Chiyu felt that the risk is too much but instead of being locked in this palace and prevented from leaving, faking the marriage meant that outsiders will be invited. If the starfield sect is among the visited guests they can contact the Yue Family and get out of this hell.

Gou Yura said, "I agree to this fake marriage! However, I want you to find or contact one person. Her name is Yue Xuexia. The Moon Goddess, if it’s her as long as you told you that we, the friends of her younger sister, Ruxia, is here. She will definitely save us."

"The Moon Goddess!"

The aide of the third prince was shocked when they mentioned the famous Moon Goddess. No one in the Cultivation World knew who this deity was. She is so powerful that even the King of the empire had mentioned her multiple times in reverence. If the Moon Goddess is truly connected to these three people and heard what their empire had done to them would they even be spared.

The Third Prince agreed without hesitation, "Alright. I will send someone to find her. However, you should have told me about your connection to the Moon Goddess. Don’t you know she is an extremely famous goddess. There are too many who wish to seek her only to be stopped by the people connected to her. The Heavenly City, the Snow Clan, the Starfield Sect, even the Herb Valley and the Qin Kingdom had been blocking people from bothering her."

"But the Imperial Father only forbids contacting the Starfield Sect. I will try to contact the others with a relationship with her. If we are able to contact her, I will inform you right away," said the third prince before letting the three return to their mansion.

After Gou Yura, Gou Yuki and Lin Chiyu left, the third prince sat on the chair as if extremely tired. His aide looked at him worriedly. The Third Prince, Russell vi Grandrouge is an illegitimate prince. He was hated by all other princes and princesses in the empire before his not so noble blood. But the third prince didn’t give up and did everything to last until today.

In reality, his cultivation talent is greater than his brothers and because of this the king had chosen him to become one of the heirs. But not having a backer is his greatest weakness, his imperial father thought so as well. That’s why when Gou Yura and the other two fell in his palace and saw the token hanging on their waist he immediately thought of using them.

It was him who was whispering words to his imperial father about preventing them from contacting the Starfield Sect. It was also his doing to have his father bestow an imperial edict bestowing marriage to him and Gou Yura. In his mind, as long as he marries her, the connection with the Starfield Sect will be real.

There is also one more reason. He had fallen in love with Gou Yura and the plans to buy time was only for him to have some time to cultivate feelings with Gou Yura unfortunately he had failed and the years were spent in vain.

His aide served his master some tea, "Master? Are you alright?"

"Um. I am." The third prince drank the cup like chugging wine ignoring the heat.

"Master, if they are truly connected with the Moon Empress. What should we do?" The aide didn’t say more but in his mind everything was in chaos.

The Moon Goddess is famous for two things, her strength and her overprotectiveness towards the people under her protection. Her aide Tan Bingyu connected to the Heavenly Sword Sect. When a sealed, evil dragon came out from the depths of the cliff targeting the Heavenly City, she lent a hand to give them all possible resources to defend themself and in the end when the Heavenly city was about to fall it was she who had to step forward and save them.

There is also the Starfield sect. Inside that Hidden Dungeon, under her protection except for the traitor no one died from their side while one of their ancestors had died without a body. Most of those that are not under her protection had suffered a lot inside as for those under her, they only reap all the good things which the goddess had given them.

The Moon Goddess had a clear line for likes and dislikes. Those who had become her enemy and her people had all died under her hand. The third prince should be thankful that he had fallen in love with Lady Gou and except for restricting their freedom to leave, they were provided with everything they needed.

Sigh~

"Change of plans. Three days from now tell everyone to enter the city. During the wedding, we will take the throne!" The third prince, Russell vi Grandrouge said.

The aide asked, "What about Lady Gou and her brother?"

"Send people to escort them safely out of the city. As for what happens after the wedding is disrupted, they no longer have anything to do with me," said Prince Russell.

The aide was silent. He knew how much the prince liked Lady Gou. Sadly, Lady Gou doesn’t seem to be interested in their prince. Lady Gou was the only female that entered the heart of the prince and most likely the last as well. Russell vi Grandrouge born as an illegitimate prince was born with countless hardship and betrayal. His understanding about love is twisted due to his mother. Though he will not force one to love him, he will also not easily let go. That’s why he had spent years trying to win the affection of Lady Gou.

In the end, he failed to get her heart.

Now forced to make a choice between love and power. The third prince chose love and chose to let Lady Gou go. If he didn’t love her, he wouldn’t have wasted years not marrying her and controlling her connections to the Yue family and everything of theirs. He also wouldn’t put himself in danger but letting her go at such the perfect moment to gain the king and the royal court’s trust. He let go of the long time plan he had in mind and made changes for her by giving her what she truly wanted. Freedom.

The third prince said to his aide. "Try to find the Moon Goddess or just send a message to the Starfield Sect. Tell them we have found their people."

"Yes, My prince!" His subordinate responded.

—

The next day, the Starfield Sect had received a message which was passed to their Supreme Elder, Xia Lianyu. The letter was sent to the Crimson Star Temple and was sent through Xia Baiyu. His master and his wife were busy with things about the ancient ruins when this letter arrived.

Xia Baiyu said, "Master, Mistress, a letter was sent to our tower. It seems like someone from the Xinglou Empire."

"Do we have an acquaintance in that place?" Grandma Hialun asked, looking a bit bewildered.

Grandpa Xia took the letter from his disciple and read it.

"It seems that the missing beloved disciple of those two old men from the Crimson Cloud Sect is in Xinglou Empire together with Ruru’s friends," said Xia Lianyu. "Xiao Bai, sent a message to the two elders in the Crimson Cloud Sect. To Elder Xiao and Elder Yun. Also, go to Xinglou Empire and pick up some old friends of our other granddaughter, Ruxia."

"Read this letter to understand the situation before departing. Don’t worry about the things here. Everything is almost prepared. Go to the Xinglou Empire ahead of time and buy some mansions for when we go there waiting for the Ancient Ruins to appear." Grandpa Xia said.

Xia Baiyu said, "I will do as you wish, Master!" He took off as soon as he got the letter from his master.

After this disciple had left, the old couple remembered that their eldest granddaughter seemed to have said she would be heading to the Xinglou Empire ahead of time. Thinking about this there is no need for their disciple to go. Sadly, the brat had taken off the moment he got the letter which was to be sent to the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Grandma Hialun said, "Hm? If I remember it right, isn’t Xue’er heading to that empire ahead of us? Maybe when Xiao Bai arrived there those children would long have been saved by her."

"I don’t think so. That yatou don’t have a sense of direction. A day trip might become a two to three days trip for her," said Grandpa Xia.

The mouth of Grandpa Xia as if a jinx and truly made Yue Xuexia get lost on her way to Xinglou Empire. Starting at some kind of mysterious island, Yue Xuexia stood by the beach looking at the fertile forest on the island in front and at the back is a sea covered in water tornadoes preventing them from leaving.

Yue Xuexia mumbles, "Where is this?"
