Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 640: Too late

The smooth display of talent and cruelty made the others who had come after the first group more cautious. Especially, upon seeing how young the lady who had used high-grade sword intent is. A sword intent. This is a unique ability that only those who use the sword can achieve. It’s a sword ability that not only enhances your sword techniques but also sharpens your way of sword. Moreover, it’s not easy to achieve. Only those who were born to to wield a sword or talented enough can get it.

Now a young one and a lady at that, was able to wield it. No matter what her identity is, this kind of talent is precious among the sword users. There is something to be admired more. She is ruthless enough towards her enemies. The kind of strong woman one you shouldn’t offend.

"What kind of treasure are you willing to give for information?" A cultivator who stepped up asked.

Yue Xuexia waves her hand and a small mountain of artifacts and treasure appears in front of them.

She said, "Pick two for the information about the fairies and three for the family."

The man looked through the treasures and was amazed by how much there is.

Then he said, "Those fairies were ordered by the Fairy Queen to kill. Her exact order was to hunt all people related to the Moon Goddess and this group here is not first and there are more outside. They are a group of lunatic and lascivious bastards. As long as you are a lady you would either be rape or taken away by them. Most of their victims choose to end their lives rather than get captured. We saw them heading north the last three days!"

"You... are not lying. Pick two within the pile," said Yue Xuexia. She was talking about the treasure before her and was asking the man to pick two treasures within the pile.

The man didn’t take two treasures right away. He noticed that when he had told her the information she had moved her fingers as if calculating something. This means she divine who is lying and who is now. After a while, the man took a weapon and a bow among the treasure. One is for his own use and the other is for his teammate. He clasped his hands towards the young lady and left right away.

After this man left, a few more cultivators had spoken up. Most were liars trying to get a piece of the treasures by telling fake information. Yue Xuexia had left them lying and killed them on the spot. They’ve only heard information about the Fairy Cultivators but not yet about the family of Yue Xuexia.

"H-Hello. Can I ask why you are looking for a family in these ruins? Are you connected to them?" a female cultivator asked.

The Moon Goddess didn’t hide anything but also didn’t say everything. She only said,

"I am looking for my family," this response made the lady hesitate for a bit.

In the end, the lady had spoken.

She said, "In the Northwest, the family lives there. There are formations in the area that hide their place. If you want to find it you must know how to see through formations. I hope that even if they are not the family you are looking for, you help them move locations or help them come out of this ruins."

"Alright. I promise you. Take three treasures as payment. I know that you are not lying," said Yue Xuexia.

The woman nodded her head and took three treasures. Before she left, this lady told the Moon Goddess one more thing.

"Ah, right. You should look for them right away. That family had three ladies. If those bastards from the fairy race had found them, the only male in the family might not be able to protect them," said the lady cultivator.

The moment Yue Xuexia heard that it was a family with three ladies and one man, she immediately knew that this was her family. She immediately flew to Northwest. Dean Wu Yao took the treasures his beloved disciple had left behind to chase after her.

"Xue’er, calm down! Wait for this old man." The old man said as he flew to follow her.

After they left, the Everlasting Moon Empire’s Second Prince, Yue Wuya and his group appeared from the forest. During the information exchange, Dean Wu Yao had only made an opening for the defensive formation he had received from his disciple to allow others to see them. But the part of the formation in the forest was never taken down, that’s why the second prince and his group were temporarily trapped in that location.

Shi Wu complained, "Dammit! Why the hell there is a formation in this forest!?"

"Stop complaining. That is obviously manmade and we only got out after they most likely left," said Ye Yan.

Second Prince Yue Wuya looked around and noticed the cultivators looking at them.

He asked, "Why are you gathering here? Is there even a treasure in this place? Also, have you seen a lady who is hiding her face?"

Most of the cultivators had recognized this prince and respectfully responded to his questions.

The one who answered is the lady who was speaking with Yue Xuexia before and received three treasures from her.

"Answering to the Second Moon Prince, there is no treasure in this place. We gathered here to share information with someone who is willing to pay for it. As for the lady his highness is looking for, she might be the one who had headed to Northwest just now." The female cultivator said.

Ye Yan asked, "What kind of information she had exchanged treasure for?"

"It’s about the fairy cultivators and a certain family she is looking for," the female cultivator answered.

Second Prince Yue Wuya asked, "Where is she headed? Where is that family?"

"Northwest of this forest."

The moment Second Prince Yue Wuya heard the answer he immediately flew away. Seeing the urgency in his actions his friends, Ye Yan and Shi Wu, looked at each other and nodded their heads. They’ve rewarded the female cultivator who spoke up and chased after the second prince.

The danger of his ancient ruins had increased a lot due to those fairy cultivators whose original job was to find him and kill him. They had been running away for this reason alone as there is no need to fight when they can avoid them. Moreover, they still need a lot of spirit ore to replenish the stock they had used up in the clan. So their group had focused on that.

On the way, Shi Wu asked, "Those dumb bugs! What do you think would happen if they found the girl’s mortal family?"

"Don’t ask something you already know the answer to. Fly after if we arrived too late, I can’t imagine what would happen," said Ye Yan.

Meanwhile at the treehouse where the Yue Family lives.

The entire area was destroyed including the gates and a part of the treehouse. On the ground, there are already three dead bodies, Mama Yue, Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia choose to take their lives. The first ones to be caught were Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia when they were caught off guard.

Seeing the lascivious eyes of these men who were caught, the sibling realized that they would end worse once they were caught and chose to self-destruct while asking the rest of the family to leave. Mama Yue died when she was protecting Grandma Su, who had now lost consciousness for losing not only her daughter but also two of granddaughters. As for Grandpa Xia, he is covered in wounds while hugging his wife.

Papa Yue is still fighting these bastards on his own and is buying some time for his father-in-law to use the spatial technique to send his mother-in-law away. He didn’t seem to be in the right mind as his family died before him.

With the moonlight as guide, Grandpa Xia’s original soul had awakened at this moment. He opened a portal connected to their clan using his blood and soul as a medium to send his wife away.

"Escaping? You cannot escape!" said a fairy looking vicious as he flew towards Xia Lianyu.

However, he didn’t have any strength to fight. He can only block him with his body and pushes his wife towards the opened portal where his other self is waiting.

Grandpa Xia looked through the portal and said, "Take good care of her and him for me."

The one from the opposite side nodded his head as he took the unconscious Grandma Su and Xia Baiyu. The one from the other side is none other than Yue Zhiyan.

Yue Zhiyan said, "Don’t worry. I will take care of them."

The moon above them seems to have cracked as the portal was used. This is a forbidden technique of the Moon Clan who sacrifice the moon to open a space portal connected to their clan. It’s a life saving technique and they rarely use it. Grandpa Xia smiled as the light in his eyes faded as well.

The fairy cultivator was terrified when he met the eyes of Yue Zhiyan on the other side. Only then did they realize that this family whom they targeted for their woman seems to have connection to the Moon Clan of the Immortal World. He saw that it means that by now the Moon Clan already knew what they had been doing.

This man shouted, "Kill that one! Kill him already! This family is connected to the direct bloodline of the Moon Clan. We can no longer hide the fact that we had killed them!"

"The Moon Clan!? Fuck! Didn’t the queen say to kill anyone connected to the Moon Goddess? Is this mortal family connected to her?"

"We completed the mission but why do I feel dread coming over?"

Papa Yue whose body was full of holes and wounds laughed,

"It’s too late to escape. She is already here." Yue Yuya said as he fell from the sky to the ground.

But before he hit the ground someone had caught him, it was Yue Xuexia who was now looking at her father with tears in her face. She had removed the mask and looked at her father.

"Papa?" She called.

Yue Yuya smiled and said, "Don’t cry, Xue’er. We will see each other...again."

In the end, even Papa Yue had taken his last breath.
