Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 695: Bet

One morning at the mountain top where the mansion was located, a mansion under the name of the Moon Goddess was suddenly surrounded by a black unknown mass. Due to the defensive formation around the mansion, no one from below the mountain noticed that the peak was suddenly covered in some kind of shadow aura. The ones in the mansion saw it all though and now some of them felt trapped within that darkness.

Yue Xuexia immediately protected Xiao Muen and Han Haerin with a barrier. "Don’t come out of that barrier. I will check on Xiao Lan!"

She urgently left the mansion’s hall and headed to the area where the small spring was located. As soon as she arrived he saw Ru Yunlan covered by a black mass and it was completely different from the shadowy aura that appeared in the whole peak. The black aura around Ru Yunlan gave her a chilling feeling and there is also a bit of a scent of danger. If it is only her, this aura won’t affect her much, but those who are weak might suffer hallucinations, nightmares and illusions that they didn’t want to see.

With a frown on her exquisite face, Yue Xuexia mumbles, "This aura... No, it’s a qi. Where have I seen this before...?"

[This is death qi. Mistress, you have to isolate the area around the kid. This qi is deadly to those who are below the Mahayama Realm!]

With the system’s warning Yue Xuexia immediately pulled out a formation and scattered the materials around the area near Ru Yunlan. After isolating the death qi, Yue Xuexia disperse all the remnant aura in the area. Once the murky aura around the mansion dispersed she removed the barrier around Xiao Muen and Han Haerin.

She contacts them with divine communication making her voice rang in their heads saying,

[It’s safe now. You can move around.]

It didn’t take long for Xiao Muen and Han Haerin to reach the backyard where the small spring is located. They were surprised by the situation in the backyard. It was completely different from before. The nearby trees, plants, flowers and even wild grasses had wilted as they were affected by the death qi. The small spring had dried up as well. Only Ru Yunlan at the center of the empty spring surrounded by that eerie dark aura was left isolated by the formation Yue Xuexia made on the spot.

Looking worried at his nephew, Xiao Muen asked, "What is wrong with Lanlan?"

"It’s his bloodline. Who would have expected that he would awaken a bloodline connected to the underworld. That’s a death qi surrounding him. Such qi is deadly to all beings with life in them and only a true god can barely block it with their qi. You two will not be able to block it and once you get affected... It can lead to instant death." The Moon Goddess explained.

Xiao Muen and Han Haerin were both shocked that their eyes widened in disbelief and surprise.

"Death qi!? Isn’t that something a demonic cultivator uses?!" exclaimed Xiao Muen.

Unlike Han Haerin who is a complete beginner in the cultivation world, he had his own experiences as a cultivator. The first time he had met his wife, is when she saw her being targeted by demonic cultivators. There is a special physique that the demon cultivators desire the most. Pure souls and bodies are good sacrifices for those demonic gods and in exchange of power these evil guys are willing to kidnap and kill people for these reasons alone. One thing for sure: demonic cultivators wield many kinds of energies like death qi, ghost qi, poison and even the rare blood element.

Among all of these powers, the strongest one and the hardest to control is the death qi. That’s why Xiao Muen couldn’t accept that the nephew he had been protecting ever since the death of Ru Lanyu would awaken such a sinister bloodline.

Yue Xuexia noticed that Xiao Muen’s expression isn’t good and said, "Just because he awakened a bloodline that wields death qi didn’t mean he will become a demonic cultivator in the future."

"Demonic cultivators are just a kind of cultivator who wield a different power or energy. If they don’t use it for evil means then they are not in the wrong."

"For your information, I also control blood elements as one of my powers. Am I evil in your eyes, Mumu?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Muen ruffled his hair in helplessness and anxiety then fell seat on the ground feeling mortified. "It’s just that... How can he suddenly awaken such a bloodline? Lanyu and that bastard, Chen Yun, were mortals even before cultivation appeared in this world!"

"Maybe this bloodline of his is not natural but was given instead... The question is who gave it to him?" Yue Xuexia mumbles.

Meanwhile at the side, Han Haerin can barely understand the conversation between her Uncle Xiao and Godmother. But one thing she understood the most is that this bloodline is dangerous and her brother might be in danger in the future.

Han Haerin asked, "Daemonim, Ru hyeongeun gwaenchanheulkkayo? Geu himi geureul haechijin aneulkkayo? Geunyang jegeohageona bonginhal suneun eopseulkkayo?"

Translation: [Godmother, will Brother Ru be alright? Is that power going to harm him? Can’t we just remove it or maybe seal it?]

Yue Xuexia calmed down Han Haerin and said, "Geokjeonghaji maseyo. Museun iri isseotneunji josahaebogo, geureul doul su itdorok choeseoneul dahalgeyo. Geuneun gwaenchanheul geoyeyo. Jega yeogi isseoyo!"

Translation: [Don’t worry. I will investigate what happened and then I will try my best to help him. He will be fine. I’m here.]

While the Goddess of the Moon is trying to soothe the moods of Xiao Muen and Han Haerin, the voice of the system is heard in her head. The contents left her bewildered.

[M-Mistress, I’ve checked the life history of the boy. You wouldn’t believe it yourself. This child is the reincarnation of the former God of Death. Even though he had lost his legacy and memories of his previous life, he is indeed a former god. The God who rules death.]

[His bloodline is called Nether. He had the ability to wield death qi, ghost qi and miasma. Once he ascends, he will naturally remember everything.]

[The problem is... He is a Primordial God. The same level as the Shura and Deva Gods who gave you their legacies.] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

[Mistress, he is dangerous. We should...]

"No!"

The sudden shout from the Moon Goddess startled not only the system but also Xiao Muen and Han Haerin. When they saw the fierce expression on Yue Xuexia’s face, they felt worried right away.

Xiao Muen asked, "Xue’er, are you alright?"

"I’m alright." Yue Xuexia held her temples and said, "Don’t worry about Xiao Lan. He will be alright. I need to rest for a bit. Continue your training."

She disappeared on the spot leaving Xiao Muen and Han Haerin dumbfounded. The two looked confused but chose not to think too much. It’s not like there is anything in this world that can kill her.

Meanwhile, in Yue Xuexia’s room in this mansion on the peak of the mountains.

She teleported to have a serious conversation with her system. Once Yue Xuexia appeared in the room she immediately grabbed the chubby chibi orca with her two hands.

"Qiuqiu, you are not going to tell me to kill my own godson?! Don’t you? Even though he isn’t of my blood, he is Lanyu’s son. I cannot harm that boy!" Yue Xiexia said.

[But Mistress, not all Primordial Gods are like the Shura and Deva Gods. They never cared about anything weak and would not even care if the world fell. Sometimes they are more emotionless than a machine and the only thing that can restrain them is the Divine Cosmic Laws only. Ordinary Dao Laws cannot move them at all.]

"Even so I will not harm my godson. If in the future he truly wishes to destroy the world then I will stop him myself. Until then I want him to live the life he wants. To know what happiness is, to have likes and dislikes and learn what love is and how to care. In the future, if he remembers who he was as long as he doesn’t harm those who I want to protect, I will not stop him with what he wants to do and even help him if he needs me." Yue Xuexia said.

Unknown to her, someone else was listening to her conversation with her system. It was her godson, Ru Yunlan and the soul fragment of the former Primordial Death God born with him. The two were observing the reactions of the people around him. They actually made a bet whether the Moon Goddess will accept Ru Yunlan having the power of death as a cultivator.

Inside the soul domain of Ru Yunlan...

Ru Yunlan who was watching the situation outside through the means of the unknown power of the soul fragment inside of him learned the conversation between the system and the Moon Goddess.

The young man proudly said, "I won the bet."
