Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 696: Death God’s Soul Fragment

Ru Yunlan believes that her godmother will not fear him and even accept him despite having such a dangerous power. Meanwhile, the soul fragment of the death god had bet that the young man will not be accepted and be killed once the people he calls as family learned about his bloodline. If Ru Yunlan wins, the soul fragment promises to listen to him. Teach him how to use his power and help him protect the people he wanted to protect. If the soul fragment of the death god won, the body of Ru Yunlan will become his including his soul. This is the bet between the two.

Such a high risk gamble, no one would have done it so easily unless they trust the people they believe as family for their whole life. The Primordial Death God couldn’t believe what he had witnessed. The young lady was just a reincarnation of some goddess in the immortal world, but there is no way he would recognize the heavenly laws that were talking to her. It can be said that this so-called system is not an ordinary existence and the fact that he knew that they were watching was enough to say how powerful it was.

Ru Yunlan and the soul fragment of the death god flinched when the chubby orca suddenly looked in their direction as if staring at them directly.

The young man asked, "What is that little orca, a system? Did it just look at us?"

"Stop watching. You won. I will give you what you want. Tsk! What a lucky brat! Your godmother isn’t even connected to you by blood but she treats you no worse than her real son. Did you not know how many of my enemies would target you if they learned you can wield the power of death. Even tribulation realm old monsters would come out just to kill you," The soul fragment of the death god said.

With his face paling, Ru Yunlan asked, "What should I do? Will Godmother be safe if she protects me?"

"Do not worry about your godmother. The bloodlines in her body are simply absurd. How can most noble bloodlines and powerful legacies fall on one person!? She will have a way to protect you even if a tribulation cultivator comes to grab you. Those formations you are trying to learn. Don’t you know how many in the upper realm world desire to have it. But she gave it to you, like an ordinary workbook! She is spoiling you so much." The soul fragment of the death god said.

Ru Yunlan smiled hearing someone say that he had people spoiling him. On the other hand, the soul fragment actually felt jealous of the young boy. Before he had become a Primordial God of Death, he also yearned for power like Ru Yunlan. His family looks down on him as well. But when he got this power, he no longer feared their eyes, but instead they feared him and wanted him dead. It was not only his family, his friends, the person he felt in love with. In the end, no one was able to accept him as someone who is an embodiment of death. They all fear him.

Tsk!

The Death God’s Soul Fragment said, "Close your eyes. Lend me your body for a while. I will show you how to control your bloodline first."

"Alright!" Ru Yunlan said as he temporarily gave the control of his body to this person.

Once the Death God’s soul fragment took over, he showed Ru Yunlan the way to control the death qi. But controlling death qi is a bit hard as it’s a power that is close to natural qi and requires a lot of concentration to do so. Even though it showed Ru Yunlan the way of controlling it, it still took a while for the young man to do it. At his first try, he tired out his slowness and fell into a short slumber.

Ru Yunlan said, "So tired. Sleepy~ Death, you control... my body first. Need to... sleep~"

"Oi! You cannot just fall asleep. This body is about to wake up in reality." The death god’s soul fragment said, but Ru Yunlan’s soul had already fallen asleep and no matter how much he calls, the latter won’t wake up.

"Agh~ Fucker! How are you able to sleep so easily like this? What are you going to do if I truly have the intention to take away control of this vessel to you?!"

However, the sleepy child didn’t react as he had longed to fall into slumber. The death god’s soul fragment can only control the death qi around him, absorbing it into his body as nourishment. Even though Ru Yunlan’s body is slender due to his young age the hidden strength within this body is currently ten times stronger than what Xiao Muen’s body possessed. When he had woken up in reality, he noticed the harmless formation that he was in and couldn’t help but be amazed that this formation is like a barrier that blocks only death and nothing more. He tried to reach out a hand and as expected his fingers had easily passed through it.

This is a barrier that was only there to block the death qi but it was never meant to lock him up. As soon as he reached out a hand he was suddenly pulled out and the formation had turned into a bracelet that landed into his wrist turning into some kind of plain silver ornament that fits a young man like himself.

The Death God’s soul fragment was observing the formation that turns into a bracelet and his thoughts wanders.

’This formation is high-grade and powerful enough if it can block death qi. With it I do not have to worry about turning a whole area into a land of death whenever my emotions are out of control.’

Out of nowhere he felt a slight pain on his forehead that woke him up in reality. The god of death’s soul fragment was startled and looked who dared to flick his forehead and was welcomed by the face of a middle aged man and a young lady who were looking at him worriedly. He can feel that two different hands were holding onto him.

Xiao Muen said, "Are you alright, Lanlan? You were dazed for a while so I thought you lost your soul or something?"

"Lu hyeong, eodi apeun de isseo? Naega daemonimkke jeonhwahaeseo hwakinhae deurilge!" said Han Haerin while looking at him worriedly.

Translation: [Brother Ru, are you hurting somewhere? I will call Godmother to check on you!]

The death god’s soul fragment in Ru Yunlan’s body grips Han Haerin’s hand and stops him on time. He was actually afraid of meeting the Moon Goddess. It was unknown how the Goddess would react if he saw him controlling his godson’s body. There is also that weird system who can most likely see through him.

"Xiao, Uncle Xiao! I’m alright. I was thinking of something for a moment and blocked out. It’s nothing serious." He said to Ru Yunlan’s uncle.

Then the death god’s soul fragment smiled at Han Haerin and said, "Haerina, na eodiga apeun geon aniya. Byeoril aniya. Geunyang jom... Jollyeo~"

Translation: [Haerin, I am not in pain somewhere. It’s nothing serious. I just feel a bit... Sleepy~]

In the end, the body of Ru Yunlan had finally blocked out like its real soul. Xiao Muen caught him before he fell on the ground. Before the two panicked and called for help, they heard Ru Yunlan’s snoring.

Xiao Muen said, "Snoring? Did he fall asleep?"’

In the end, Xiao Muen had no other choice but to carry his sleeping nephew to his own room and place him on the bed gently. After tucking him to sleep, he and Han Haerin had returned to training. After the two had left to report to Yu Xuexia, the sleeping man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. It seems that the death god’s soul fragment pretended to lose consciousness so he can have some private time on his own.

Sigh~

"This is the first time, people asked me when I am alright," the god of death’s soul fragment mumbles.

After being feared by countless people, he had never had anyone from the living willing to stay by his side. They either fear him or attack him whenever he is around. Those eyes that showed fear was something he was used to seeing. Now seeing eyes on him which is full of worries and affections instead made the soul fragment of the death god uncomfortable. That’s why he had pretended to lose consciousness and had fallen asleep.

"This brat, just when is he going to wake up." Murmured by the Death God’s soul fragment who was currently in control of Ru Yunlan’s body. He closed his eyes again this time intending to fall asleep for real.

Meanwhile, Xiao Muen had informed Yue Xuexia about Ru Yunlan’s waking up. When the Moon Goddess dropped by in Ru Yunlan’s room, she sees that the young man had completely fallen asleep and was relieved to see that he was okay when she checked on him.
