Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 658: At the Last Moment

The effects of the pill Xiao Muen started losing its effects after he had let his guard down for taking revenge for his family and wife, for his friends and for his nephew to gain freedom. His only regret is not being able to meet Yue Xuexia before he took his last breath. His eyes were dull as if he was about to die. Seeing him like this, Madam Chen grabs the dead old man’s sword and kicks his corpse a couple of times in anger.

"Damn, Old thing! How dare you threaten me?! You deserve to die.Hmp!" Madam Chen said.

Her eyes finally wonder where Xiao Muen is and walk towards him with a sinister smile. Holding a sword with her hands, she stood beside Xiao Muen who was already about to run out of breath. Seeing her like this, Xiao Muen didn’t look surprised.

Madam Chen looked at him with a creepy smile on her lips and said, "You didn’t expect that you would fall into my hands in the end. Since you like your family, wife and Ru Lanyu that much why don’t you just go with them. I will help you~"

Ack!

However, before the blade was stabbed on Xiao Muen, someone else stabbed Madam Chen from behind. No one expected this to happen when everyone looked who it was, they were surprised to see Chen Yunlan. There is no hesitation on his face and clothes that are covered in blood.

Chen Yun calls in disbelief, "Yunlan?"

"Little bas...tard!" Madam Chen fell kneeling on the ground holding on her bleeding chest. Her back collar was grabbed and thrown faraway from Xiao Muen.

Thud!

"Stay away from Uncle!" Chen Yunlan said.

Xiao Muen who was about to die was angered, almost causing him to die on the spot. He looked at his nephew, almost glaring at him.

"I bought as much time as I could so you can escape! How dare you come here!? The reinforcement will be coming soon! I am a dying man! You shouldn’t have come here!" Xiao Muen said.

Cough. Cough.

"Uncle, please calm down. Eat this first," said Chen Yunlan as he fed Xiao Muen the elixir that the Chen Family had been treasuring.

Seeing the pill in Chen Yunlan’s hand, Madam Chen who is now badly hurt was shocked. As a cultivator, she wouldn’t easily die just because her chest was stabbed on. She also recognized the pill in Chen Yunlan’s hand.

"W-Where did you... get that pill?! O-Only my... my son has that!" She asked.

Chen Yunlan looked at Madam Chen with a chilling expressionless face which was covered in blood.

He smiled, "I borrowed it from my elder brother. He doesn’t seem to agree so I had to cut his arms and legs off. However, in the end, he gave it to me. I’ve also cleaned up his place very thoroughly."

The three adults realized what the young boy was talking about. Just before a guard said that someone had burned down the eldest young master’s quarters. Looking at the young man who is now covered in blood with traces of burns on his clothes, they had a bad feeling about this.

Chen Yun asked with obvious hesitation. "Yunlan, what kind of cleaning did you do?"

"The kind that erased everything in existence!" Chen Yunlan happily answered.

Gulps~

"How about... your elder brother who... was inside with you?" Chen Yun asked.

Chen Yunlan thought for a moment while the three adults already felt a chilling coldness on their backs.

"Brother? He doesn’t have legs or arms. If he can crawl before the fire spreads he should have survived right? Like how my mother crawled alone to get out of the ruined car after the incident."

AAAHHH

"You bastard! You killed my son. You are truly that bitch—"

Madam Chen’s tongue was grabbed with a single swipe from the knife in Chen Yunlan’s hand, it was cut off cleanly and his world became quiet. Such ruthlessness at such a young age made the adults feel a chill on their spine. They watch Madam Chen flail in pain and can only make sounds like ’Ah ahh’ with her tongue gone.

Chen Yunlan said, "You shouldn’t say such a thing about my mom!"

Chen Yun looked at his son who had killed his brother and his second wife and ended up in such a hideous state. He then looked at his missing arm and his detached arm on the ground. He didn’t know why things had come into this. He had lost his first wife and now his eldest son. His youngest son hates him and his second wife is such a lunatic. No one knows how he ended up like this. He still couldn’t accept the fact that he is the reason for this tragedy.

If only he didn’t meet with Xu Suya while he was with Ru Lanyu and was mesmerized by her beauty only to get infected by Love Gu. If only he had divorced Ru Lanyu when she asked before, she wouldn’t have died. Xiao Muen’s family will not get involved and get them uprooted. If Madam Chen didn’t meet Lin Ruri and her husband, she wouldn’t have felt jealous of them and said they caused their deaths.

Maybe the worst move was that Ru Lanyu had fallen in love with him and introduced him to her friends.

Chen Yunlan ignored his father and helped his uncle. However, it seems that even the elixir is incapable of treating his current state.

Xiao Muen said, "Xiao Lan, don’t cry. I cannot be cured. The pill I ate had no cure."

"But uncle... Godmother should be able to treat you. Didn’t you say she is the Divine Doctor?" Chen Yunlan said.

Xiao Muen said, "But I am not sure if she has returned to this realm..."

"Uncle, I’ve tried using this safety locket. Someone... Someone had spoken. She said wait for me." Chen Yunlan said.

When Xiao Muen and Chen Yun heard what Chen Yunlan had said, their reactions varied. The former grabbed the boy’s safety lock and saw traces of blood while Chen Yun trembled when he saw his son’s safety lock. When the safety lock was given to Ru Lanyu by that person, he was also there. He can still recall the words the Moon Goddess had said that day.

’Watch your back,’ She said.

Thinking about what happened right now, Chen Yun’s face turned pale as if he finally understood what had happened. These words from Yue Xuexia are a warning.

Just as everyone was preoccupied by their thoughts, the reinforcement of Madam Chen had finally arrived. These are cultivators from the Xu Clan. Though they are weaker compared to the old cultivator, they are still much more powerful compared to the dying Xiao Muen and Chen Yunlan who are barely at Peak Foundation Realm.

"Young miss! What happened to you!?"

The group of people suddenly arrived in the hall and helped Madam Chen up.

"Someone checked on the young miss!"

"The young master was found. He is almost dead with missing limbs. Who is so cruel to do such a thing?"

Upon hearing this Madam Chen who couldn’t speak stood up jumping while pointing at Chen Yunlan. She even walks towards him intending to grab her only for the young man to swipe his knife towards her neck intending to kill her. Thankfully, her guards had saved her, making her only suffer another shallow cut on her neck.

"What does this mean, second young master? You want to kill your stepmother?"

"She killed my mother. Isn’t it right her life can be exchanged for hers? Did my cheap brother actually survive? Well, he sure doesn’t look like a human anymore so living should be harder for him." Chen Yunlan said.

Just based on these words alone, the cultivators from the Xu Clan instantly realized that the one who had harmed their young master and miss is this young man. Who would expect such a young boy to be that cruel towards his own brother and stepmother.

These people actually didn’t know how much Madam Chen and her son made Chen Yunlan suffer in her own home. They just think that Chen Yunlan is cruel by nature and cannot be left alive.

"You little bastard! You are a monster! How can you burn your own brother!?"

"Stop talking and kill him already! Such a person cannot be left alive for too long or they will become dangerous in the future."

"Kill him!"

As the cultivators jumped on Chen Yunlan to kill him, Xiao Muen, who can barely move, found an unknown strength on him and hugged the boy. Chen Yun also unexpectedly moved to stand in front of his son. It was at this moment that Chen Yun completely prevailed to control his body despite the Gu inside of him. Such action stunned Chen Yunlan, as he didn’t expect that his father would save him at the last moment.

However, at the last moment, a lotus shaped barrier covered all three of them from the group attacks and the whole roof of the house was blown away. Those not protected under the lotus barrier flew away and hit themselves on the wall suffering all kinds of energy.

A cultivator from the Xu Clan noticed another presence during this clash and shouted, "Who the hell is interfering!? Come out!"
