Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 644: Mistake

Yue Xuexia closed her eyes as both of her domains deactivated. She fell from the sky and all of them scrambled to catch her. However, not Lei Yuye, Lei Yuya or even Yue Lili had caught her before she fell. Someone else did before she fell on the ground and this person is none other than the Ancient Moon God and the Ancestor of the Moon Family, Yue Zhiyan.

Yue Zhiyan carefully cradles his granddaughter within his embrace. Seeing her soaked in blood a rare frown appeared on his face.

He looked coldly at his daughter and son-in-law then asked, "What the hell is happening here?"

The return of the ancestor is unexpected but it was what saved Yue Xuexia from killing herself. Using the ability of someone in the emperor’s realm while in the body of the child is no different from using self destruction and what was harmed in this way is the soul itself. The ancestor did everything to pull back the disappearing soul of Yue Xuexia and had to prevent the sun from appearing, making the moon hang above the empire to support the healing of his granddaughter.

At the ancestral temple, Yue Xuexia had her eyes closed laying on the temple altar under the moonlight. Her pale skin was almost translucent under this light and the moon energy entered her body trying to heal her broken soul. The Everlasting Moon Emperor regrets it even more when the Ancient Moon God removed the soul residing in his daughter’s body.

The soul that came out was Yue Xuexia’s soul. The soul of an adult Yue Xuexia wearing modern clothing. The moment they saw this soul, Yue Zhiyan, he immediately understood what was happening.

"Emperor Realm’s Life Trial. This child’s soul is from the future. But she is definitely Xue’er soul," said Yue Zhiyan. "She tried to destroy her soul just now. If I didn’t arrive one time, Xue’er would no longer exist as her future self would have perished when she tried to self-destruct."

"You better tell me what happened without missing a detail."

He turned his head and looked at her daughter and son-in-law, and explained to this old man what had happened for her to do this. Being looked upon like this by his father-in-law, Lei Yuya felt guilt and regret eating his heart. But he knew things cannot be hidden as it was his actions that led to this.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor, Lei Yuya, starts explaining the situation.

"A week ago Xue’er had suffered injuries during her training due to some high level beast entering the training field. She woke up two days ago but her personality had changed from spoiled and lovely to cold and aloof. I thought that..."

"You thought that our daughter was possessed by another soul and confronted her this morning and this happened!" The Everlasting Moon Empress exclaimed.

SLAP!

"If something happened to my daughter, Yuya will not forgive you!" Yue Lili said as she approached the altar and held her daughter’s hand trying to talk to multiple times but there was no response. The soul with cracks hovers above with her eyes closed as if she was dead. Seeing this the Everlasting Moon Empress was once again in tears.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor held his swollen cheeks wanting to speak but chose not to. Yue Zhiyan grabbed his shoulder and changed their location to his office. As soon as they arrived in the office, Yue Zhiyan patted his shoulder and didn’t scold him right away. He knew his condition was not good. Who wouldn’t be shocked upon learning that you had caused harm to your daughter.

Yue Zhiyan said, "Sit down. Talk after you calm down."

Lei Yuya sat on the chair with a heavy atmosphere. He covered his eyes and cried silently. When he had met the hoping eyes of his daughter he should have held back. He shouldn’t have questioned her at all and treated her with such coldness. When she saw her shocked face and her eyes slowly turning lifeless with dimmed hope, he regretted it. However, it was already too late when he realized things had gone wrong.

Yue Zhiyan seeing him like this made him sigh. He noticed another person’s presence and knew who it was just by sensing the aura.

"Xiao Leier, come out. I know who is here," said Yue Zhiyan.

Lei Yuye entered from the window and looked at his younger sibling with a frown. It seems he is disappointed with what Lei Yuya had done. Seeing his niece weep in crimson blood, he knew things had gotten out of control.

He couldn’t help but mumbles, "If I knew you would do, I would have told you that she had called me uncle when I visited her the last time." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"What?!" Lei Yuya raised his head and looked at his elder brother with bloodshot eyes and some tears lingering around it. "Brother what do you mean?"

"That night when I said I was going to take a look. Xue’er noticed me so I had no choice but to meet her. She didn’t say much but just stared at me unguarded. I thought she was still too young and didn’t have enough vigilance in her. I cut her some apples because she seems hungry. Then she thanked me."

"She said: Thank you, Uncle."

"It was at that moment that I realized that the reason she isn’t guarded towards me is because she knows that I am family. But you know, this is my first time meeting her, I’m afraid you would harm you that’s why I didn’t tell you. Who would have thought you would still..." Lei Yuye said.

Lei Yuya bellowed, "Why didn’t you tell me!?"

"You’ve already thought she is possessed. If your brother told you about this, you would have treated her as a spy and the situation would have been worse now as you would definitely have sent her to jail." Yue Zhiyan said.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor turned silent at these words as he knew that this is something he will definitely do. He couldn’t even deny the words of his father-in-law and big brother.

He murmured, "Did I do things wrong? I only wanted to protect the family from outsiders."

"You aren’t wrong but... You should have realized. When Xue’er didn’t harm your wife on the few days she first woke or did anything sneak, you should have asked her instead of questioning her. She would have understood even if you had surrounded her room with the knights." Yue Zhiyan said.

Lei Yuya asked, "Father, will she be alright? Her soul got cracks in it. Is there a way to cure her soul?"

"There is... But treasure that can heal the soul can only be found in the Netherworld. Are you planning on going there alone?" Yue Zhiyan asked.

His expression is serious and clearly, this land of the dead is the most dangerous for the living. This is a place with a ruler who is at least in the Emperor Realm. Currently, Lei Yuya and Lei Yuye were barely at God King Realm. Entering the Netherworld in their realm is no different than seeking death.

Lei Yuya said, "Father, I will go."

"Are you sure? The immortal herb that can cure souls can only be found at the garden of souls and the owner of that place is the most beloved concubine of the King of Hell." The Ancestor of the Moon Clan said.

The Everlasting Moon Emperor nods his head. He said, "For the sake of my daughter, there is no other choice."

"I will go with you. It’s better to go together and have one secure the exit." Lei Yuye said.

Seeing that the two had made their decision. Yue Zhiyan no longer stops them. He can only give them a token which by crashing it they can return immediately to the empire.

He said, "Take this token. Destroy it and you two will be directly teleported back to this empire."

"Thank you, father. Please take care of my wife and children," said Lei Yuya.

Yue Zhiyan said, "I won’t be entering seclusion soon. Leave them to me."

The brothers were about to leave when the Everlasting Moon Emperor suddenly remembered something. This is about the murmuring he heard from her daughter.

"Father, there is something I want to know. Does the life trial of becoming an emperor require the family of the trial taker to be involved. Are they required to die?" Lei Yuya asked.

Yue Zhiyan, as someone who had experienced such a life trial said, "Yes and No. Yes, deaths are required and it most likely involves her family which means us, and no, because the trial will not kill those outside the trial. At most, it will only kill our clones or projection to force the one experiencing tribulation to suffer what they fear the most. At that time, I also witnessed the death of my wife and my daughter, however, in the end neither of them died. Only when one is experiencing the life trial to ascend to the tribulation realm will there be true deaths."

Recalling about the death of his wife, during his tribulation to reach the realm of Tribulants. The ache in his heart prevented him ascending more in power.

Yue Zhiyan said, "Go. Say your goodbyes and leave. I will open the portal to the Netherworld."

When Lei Yuya and Lei Yuye left the office, they saw the Everlasting Moon Empress waiting for them.

"Please take care. Come back if it’s hard. Xue’er will never want you to do this." Yue Lili said.

Lei Yuya said, "I will be back soon. Wait for me."
