Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 677: Under the Moonlight

Yue Xuexia after leaving the place of Si Lengya thought of something that bugged her. She returned to her plateau and sat on her swing watching the full moon in the evening sky. A small orca was floating around her watching the same scenery. Even the one hidden was watching the moon with her in silence.

[Xue’er, what are you thinking about?]

"My karma in this world. It’s time to resolve them one by one. So when we ascend to the Immortal World, I won’t have to worry so much." Yue Xuexia said.

The system also thinks that the Moon Goddess is entangled with two many karmas in this small world. But this is something she cannot avoid, as this is the planet where she was born and grew up to.

[Are you sure that you want to ascend in the upper realms, Xue’er?]

"My family is already waiting for me there. My master, I haven’t helped his academy yet. There is also Shen Jueyang and Yangyang. Do you think they are alright?" Yue Xuexia asked. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The system responded, [If it’s those two there is no need to worry about. They had made a mistake once for trusting one wrong person. With your existence they won’t dare make another mistake.]

"Why would it have something to do with me?"

[The reason you died in your past life was because of them. They trusted the wrong person and even brought that person to the empire which leads to the hall of the empire, extermination of the Sun race and your death.]

[If it is not their fault, then whose fault it is. That Immortal Star Emperor was obsessed with you because he had met you in the empire. The one who brought that man to the Immortal Sun Empire is them. The fault lies with them.]

The conversation of these hosts and systems was only heard by one other being. It’s the soul fragment hiding in the necklace Yue Xuexia is wearing. This is the necklace that houses the soul fragment of the Sun God from the dungeon before. He had agreed to leave the dungeon as there is Tan Shenyu who will continue his legacy. He chose to hide in the necklace and give extra protection to Yue Xuexia.

The fact that the Sun God is a soul fragment of Shen Jueyang meant that his ability is directly proportional to the original body. His strength increases as Shen Jueyang’s power gets stronger. This means they are connected and Shen Jueyang only needs to connect with this fragment to check on Yue Xuexia. Today, happens to be the day Shen Jueyang took over the Sun God’s fragment and overheard her conversation with the system.

Upon hearing the system’s blame on him, Shen Jueyang remained silent. After all, everything it said is the truth.

Yue Xuexia said, "Qiuqiu, you cannot blame a person who finally chooses to have a friend, choose the wrong one. Especially for one who stood at the battlefield alone for centuries or maybe millennia. When one is covered in blood for too long, they will start to yearn for an ordinary life, an ordinary relationship, kinship and all."

"The blood of your enemies might be warm. But this is the kind of warmth that drags people to hell. Get too used to it and it will affect your mindset. Everything must be done in moderation."

"Surrounded by both your enemies and your soldiers who need your protection, how alert must you be on the battlefield. A leader must always stand strong alone. Once he is too tired, won’t one yearn for support? Whether a support from a friend or lover, you will want to have one at the lowest point of your mood."

"This is something the Immortal Star Emperor had plotted and succeeded. For someone scheming like him, this is the greatest opportunity he got. That’s why what happened cannot be blamed on one person. If had something that supported him or a person he wanted to return home to, he wouldn’t have wavered at all."

"Like how I have my family for motivation. Sometimes you need just one person to keep tied securely in this world. If you don’t have one... It won’t be a surprise for you to get lost along the way, making mistakes, overlooking things, everything is possible."

[But Xue’er, if you were on his foot and met the Immortal Star Emperor what would you have done?]

"Kill!"

This time the system and the hidden Sun God in the necklace was speechless. This is an answer they would never expect to hear from someone mild tempered as the Moon Goddess.

[W-Why?]

"Fighting on the battlefield. Always winning. To suddenly appear after the battle asking for friendship from someone with unknown background and origins. It is just a scheme to gather information for the next battle. Bringing a beautiful woman to a battlefield where the blood of your enemies and comrades gathers is no different than asking you to look for something clean, intentionally lowering your guard."

"With so many unknown things, if it was me I would have ordered them to be killed. Everything unknown in the battlefield, if answers cannot be found it must be disposed of. No matter how pure or innocent it looks. Once it appears in a place it shouldn’t belong, it is nothing but a trap."

The explanation of the Moon Goddess moved the system and the Sun God who was secretly listening. No one would have expected to get such an answer from a woman who had recently entered the cultivation world, or someone even in her past life never had entered the battlefield.

Silence!

After a short notice of silence, Yue Xuexia once again speaks.

She said, "Do you think I am cruel?"

"Indeed I am. This is something I won’t deny. If I am kind I won’t have commanded the uprooting of those clans who wanted to harm my family. However, this is my choice. Be covered in the blood of my enemies, entangled with endless karma. I am willing to accept. As long as I can protect my family and those who I want to protect, I am willing to become an evil who purges the evil."

Upon saying these words, in a split second a powerful murderous intent spreads in the area. It didn’t last long but it was enough to terrify all living in the vicinity. Such a strong declaration, if it’s in the past no one would have expected the weak Moon Empress to say such a thing. But the current Yue Xuexia is different from Yue Xuehua. This is a woman who had experienced all kinds of suffering, even witnessing the death of her beloved family. Even though those who had died were merely a clone, when it happened she never knew they were just a clone and thought they were real deaths of her family.

Even though that death is fake and her family is still alive, the image of her parents, sisters and grandfather covered in blood made her blood cold. Even now she would suffer short nightmares about that scene. It was something she chose not to forget and instead firmly remember. This is to remind herself all the time that once she has lowered her guard, her family will always be the one at risk.

This is also the reason why she is merciless towards the Fairy Queen’s race. By placing them under her curse, as long as they thought of touching her family, she would not hesitate to kill them. In reality, she wanted to place the same thing on the Immortal Star Emperor and his people. It cannot be denied that all these years, it was him who had pressured his family to lock themselves in the clan all these years.

The divine sense of Shen Jueyang who came to check on Yue Xuexia faded after hearing her words. He woke up in his new land in the Immortal World. Though this place isn’t even half as big as his original empire, it is much more peaceful and hidden. He opened his eyes and looked around in dazed. While sitting on his throne, he fell into deep thoughts.

That was the first time Shen Jueyang had heard Yue Xuexia’s such strong words. However, he knew that these words spoken were all serious. After all, the Moon Goddess never speaks of things she is not sure of.

He mumbles, "I need to get stronger faster and clean up this cosmos once again. That way when Xue’er chooses to remain here, the filth will be lessened or gone for good."

Taiyang in his full armor arrived in the throne hall and said, "Main, how is Xue’er? Is she doing alright?"

"Do not worry about her. She is doing well and is about to prepare to ascend in the Immortal World soon," said Shen Jueyang.

He suddenly stood up and prepared to leave the hall. The Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang said, "I’m entering seclusion. You handle the rest here."

"Hey! You’ve just come out!" Taiyang said.

Shen Jueyang said, "I need absolute strength to protect her. So when she comes to this world, she doesn’t need to fear anyone."

After Shen Jueyang left to enter seclusion training, Taiyang no longer stopped him. Since it’s for the sake of the Moon Goddess, Taiyang will never stop his main body from getting stronger.

Taiyang mumbles, "This time we are going to protect her properly."
