Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 638: Reunion

The treehouse before them is created between two big trees. The fence was made to prevent animals or beasts from coming over and to slow them down. Well, the knocking from this gate to the treehouse couldn’t be heard by an ordinary person but for a cultivator even the slightest sound can be heard from far away. As expected, after a few more knocks someone from the treehouse leaned at the window to look.

When the old couple saw the young lady they immediately recognized her as Yue Ruxia. Likewise Yue Ruxia had recognized them. They heard her excitedly shouting inside the treehouse.

"Ma, Pa, Erjie, Grandpa and Grandma. It’s Grandpa and Grandma!! They are here!" Yue Ruxia shouted.

Another familiar voice of Yue Jixia retorted, "How can Gramps and Granny be here? You are seeing... things? Oh my god! It truly is them! I will call Ma and Pa, deactivate the formation at the door and let them in."

"Okay!" Yue Ruxia said as she went down from the treehouse towards the gates.

Once the formation was activated, Yue Ruxia immediately opened the gates. First, she hugs her grandmother and then her grandfather. After that she looks around from behind looking for the figure of her elder sister only to see an unknown man who smiled at her.

Grandpa Xia knew who she was looking for. "Your sister is not with us. But she had also entered this world. She should be able to find us soon."

"Really!? Grandpa, that’s good news!" Yue Ruxia said.

It didn’t take long for Yue Jixia, Yue Yuya and Su Luli to come out. Mama Yue hugged her parents, Yue Jixia did the same. Grandpa Xia pats the shoulder of his son-in-law and praises him.

"You’ve done really well to protect them, Yuya!" Xia Lianyu said.

Papa Yue smiled, "It’s my duty, father."

Mama Yue noticed the young man following her parents and asked, "Dad, Mom, is this child?"

"Oh... I almost forgot. Xiao Bai, come closer. Meet our youngest daughter, Su Luli. This is her husband Yue Yuya and their daughters, Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia. Xiao Ji and Ruru are Xue’er’s younger sisters." Grandma Su said.

Grandpa Xia said, "This is our disciple. His name is Xia Baiyu. When we first arrived in this realm, this child helped us in some way. After learning he is an orphan we brought him to Starfield Sect with us."

"Greetings to Lady Su and Lord Yue!" said Xia Baiyu.

Mama Yue and Papa Yue welcomed him to the family as well. After a while, they gathered in the house and had dinner. Grandma Su accompanied the ladies with Xia Baiyu. While Papa Yue, Mama Yue and Grandpa Xia gathered to have a conversation about the current situation.

Su Luli served them some spiritual tea. Even though they had used up what Yue Xuexia had given to them, the seed left behind in their space storages was most likely left there by their daughter. They had a hard time growing it and as most of these seeds need special care when planting. However, they succeeded in the end. They had spent years inside the Ancient Ruins and due to that their cultivations had jumped quite a lot from the original.

Grandpa Xia after sipping tea said, "Tell me what happened after you got separated. Did you fall in this place directly or you entered here accidentally?"

Papa Yue and Mama Yue looked at each other. They are like their daughters were simply extended soul wisp left behind in this mortal body. Their real souls had longed returned to their original vessels. Of course, they also knew that their father’s soul wisp had also merged with the one in front of him. But for some unknown reason, it seems he isn’t awake like they do. So they can only give him some excuses and not the truth.

"We wake up in his world and when we try to leave we can’t find a way out!" Mama Yue said.

Papa Yue said, "I have checked all the horizons of this dimension and I couldn’t find a way out. I’ve also tried going out through other people’s doors but it’s useless."

"Maybe you need someone to help you control the gates. We should wait for Xue’er to find us. She is now a master of spatial manipulation. But she got separated from us after entering the ruins. Maybe because she manipulated the rules and allowed Yuanying Cultivators to enter. But don’t worry about her, she is powerful enough to protect herself," said Grandpa Xia.

They had a long conversation all night and took a nice rest after such a reunion. Mama Yue and Papa Yue had a conversion before going to sleep.

Mama Yue said, "Xue’er’s Trial. Are we truly not going to give her a hint or something?"

"We cannot interfere before and during her trial. But... We should at least be able to leave a message for her to see after the trial," said Papa Yue.

Mama Yue worriedly asked, "I hope she won’t suffer too much."

"The problem is your dad. Father’s soul doesn’t seem to be awake. We need to send Mother to where he is as... his mortal body would most likely end like us. There is also Ruru and Xiao Ji, we need to explain things to them. Their memories of this world would be transferred after the trial," said Yue Yuya.

Su Luli said, "Our daughter will not hate us will she?"

"...This... I don’t know... You know her temper. She... might run away from home," said Papa Yue. "It’s alright. She will go home once she cools down."

"Sigh~ thinking about this gives me a headache. Let’s go to sleep!" Mama Yue said.

On the other hand from the perspective of Xia Lianyu...

He was sleeping deeply in the guest room with his wife when suddenly he had a dream when he saw another man who looked like him, was telling him to send his wife and disciple to safety.

"You shouldn’t have come to find them."

"They are destined to leave behind their current vessel."

"No matter what you do, you cannot get involved with her trial."

"To complete her trial, she must first lose everything."

"Remember! This is how you open a space portal using the moon as a medium."

"You must never forget!"

"We cannot Lun’er again!"

After suffering quite a bit in his dream. Xia Lianyu woke up in reality covered in cold sweat. He looked around and finally saw his sleeping wife. He couldn’t help but try to remember everything from his dream but for some reason he couldn’t. Su Hialun woke up after feeling her husband moving around on the bed.

Su Hialun asked, "Are you alright? Did you have a bad dream?"

Staring at his now awake wife, Xia Lianyu hugged his beloved. He couldn’t understand the anxiety within his heart, but this made him completely uncomfortable. Ever since that day he had dreams about himself, slowly he started to have more dreams of himself. In an unknown world, but feels extremely familiar to him for some reason. He couldn’t explain this feeling but in that dream, he saw another version of his wife.

The other him and other Su Hialun were living happily in his dreams. It was until the day he finally lost her to their enemies. Endless war in some cultivation world caused by outsiders and cosmos battlefields doesn’t exist yet. He watched Hialun die under someone’s blade which was about to stab him. The warm blood was too realistic and her fading temperature made his heart ache as if being stabbed.

He had suffered this nightmare for days that it made Su Hialun worried and the other couple, Yue Yuya and Su Luli, as well as the three children were worried for him. However, even if they ask he gave them no answers. Until one night Yue Yuya invited his father-in-law for a drink with just the two of them.

The beginning of the drinking session was quiet. Yue Yuya had never forced Xia Lianyu to speak, instead he waited for him to talk on his own. As if finally affected by the intoxication of the wine, Xia Lianyu finally started talking.

"Yuya, what do you think I should do? Recently, I started having dreams."

"Each dream is more vivid than the other. I saw someone... It was me. He looks like me but with a completely different demeanor. He is like an old emperor, majestic and noble. The only difference is that he no longer has your mother by his side. He is a lonely emperor."

"At first, I have never believed him as I am. It was until his memories started to flow into the form of a dream. In that world, it’s a lot bigger than our world. Covered with thick qi and even breathing alone will allow you to gather such pure qi. This world is simply beautiful and bountiful compared to our Mortal Realm and Cultivation Realm. Everything looks like a treasure to me."

""However, that other self of mine treats those treasures for granted. It was as if it’s the most common thing in his eyes. Then memories showing another version of your mother-in-law played in my dream. They were so happy."

"That was until I watched her die under the blade that is supposed to take my life."

Xia Lianyu slowly shared his dreams to Yue Yuya. The more Yue Yuya hears, the clearer he understands what is happening. It seems that his father-in-law’s main soul is starting to wake up. However, despite knowing the answer Yue Yuya didn’t tell him about his real self. It was something he must realize on his own.
