Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 697: Body Refinement

The next day when Ru Yunlan woke up, he realized that someone had sent him back to his room to sleep. Knowing that it was his uncle who had carried him back he felt relief. Though his godmother is just as powerful and capable enough to carry him herself, that would be more embarrassing than letting his Uncle Xiao do it. He is in college after all, letting a precious lady carry him, he can’t bear it.

The death god’s soul fragment said, "While you are asleep, your uncle, sister and godmother had checked on you multiple times. You missed lunch and dinner, that’s why they are quite worried. Only when your divine doctor godmother checks that you are fine do they sigh in relief. It seems they know how dangerous death is and are worried that it might have some kind of effect on you."

"What a lucky brat! Hmp!"

Ru Yunlan had gotten used to the envious comments of the soul fragment inside his body. He didn’t know what this person had done and why he was acting like this when he had fallen asleep. He cleaned up himself before coming to see his godmother, uncle and sister. At the dining hall, he saw the three of them sit around a small round table full of food. Though such a small table seems out of place in such a huge hall, in his eyes it looks like a warm family scene.

Han Haerin spoke, "Ru hyeong! Kkaeeonatguna. Oneul achimeul junbihaesseo. Anja. Naega jom deoreojulge."

Translation: [Brother Ru! You’re awake. I made breakfast today. Take a seat. I will serve you some.]

Ru Yunlan did as he was told and sat on the free seat near the table.

"Thank you, Xiao Rin," said Ru Yunlan to Han Haerin and greeted his uncle and godmother.

"A pleasant morning to Godmother and Uncle Xiao!" He said.

Uncle Xiao pats his head in response to his greeting before returning his attention to the table in his head. This table is showing a live video of his wife’s reincarnation. He was watching her happily spending time with her family.

As for Yue Xuexia, she served Ru Yunlan a cup of hot coffee which is to his taste with a smile.

"Eat well. Afterwards, I will help you further refine your physique. It can be said that you are now more suitable to learn physical cultivation, making your body more powerful so it can handle your bloodline well," said the Moon Goddess. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In Ru Yunlan’s mind, the voice of the death god echoes, saying, ’Your Godmother is indeed a divine doctor. She knew that you are more suitable to cultivate your body than your qi. Only by strengthening your body will you be able to control more death qi.’

"It will be a bit painful but it’s not as much as the cleansing from before. Don’t worry, once you refine the first stage of body cultivation, and as long as you don’t try to leap a stage, the pain of your body being refined will not be unbearable. I do what I can to lessen the pain of your growing muscles and bones." Yue Xuexia said.

Ru Yunlan smiled and said, "I believe in Godmother and will listen to your arrangements.’

"Alright. Go eat your breakfast first and talk about the rest afterwards." Yue Xuexia said.

By this time, Han Haerin had served Ru Yunlan’s breakfast. For some reason, this serving is a lot bigger compared to what he usually eats and I couldn’t help but look at his sister, Han Haerin, who flashes a smile at him.

Han Haerin said, "Daemoga malhagil, yeonseuphal ttae maneun eneojiga piryohal georaeyo. Uri Samchon Shaorang jega sseuneun geosboda hwolssin manhiyo. Geureonikka da meogeoyo. Eumsigeun joeun himui woncheoninikkayo. Da meogeotneyo~ jega dangsin meogeurago igeo mandeureotjyo."

Translation: [Godmother said you will need a lot of energy in your training. A lot more than what Uncle Xiao and I have to use. So eat everything. Food is a good source of power. Finished it all~ I made this for you to eat.]

Seeing the smiling Han Haerin, Ru Yunlan looked at the small hill of food in front of him with a slight pale face but when he tried it once his appetite was instantly ignited and he started eating with a joyous expression on his face. He was eating so well that he didn’t even notice that he had finished eating everything and it was only enough to make him full but not too much.

Rubbing his round stomach, Ru Yunlan was a bit confused and said, "This is the first time I ate this much but I don’t even feel bloated."

"It’s good for a boy to eat more," Xiao Muen commented.

Yue Xuexia said, "Eating well is a sign of being healthy. Come see me after you’ve digested your meals. Take your time. The rest of you continue your training again for today. I’m going to tend to my herb garden for a bit."

With a straw hat suddenly appearing in her hand and placing it on her head, Yue Xuexia happily hums a tone as she walks towards the direction of the garden.

Han Haerin said, "Daemoneun jeongmallo jeongwoneul gakkuneun geoseul joahasinda. Daeumeneun geunyeoege myomogeul jogeum seonmulhaeyagetda."

Translation: [Godmother truly loves gardening. Maybe I should give her some saplings next time.]

"Gwaenchanayo. Geunyeoga kiuneun geoseun bulmyeolui yakchoro, amsijangeseojocha huigwihaeyo. Ilban myomokdeureun geunyeoui jeongwoneseoneun geunyang jukgo mal geoyeyo." said Xiao Muen.

Translation: [No need. What she grows are immortal herbs that are rare even in the black market. Ordinary saplings will just die in her garden.]

Ru Yunlan added, "Jeongmal geureotsseumnida. Teukbyeolhan jihyeongi piryohan teugihan sikmuldeulimnida. Geu jung hananeun yongam sogeseo jarago, eotteon geoseun eoreum beullok sogeseo jaramyeo, geu oedo maneun jongryuga itseumnida. Uri yagyong mogyoge sayongdoen heobeuneun daebubun geu jeongwoneseo watseumnida. Ilbuneun deuraegon jongjogi daemoreul wihae simeun geosdo itseumnida."

Translation: [Indeed. Strange plants that need special terrains. One of them even grows in a lava, some in an ice block and many more. The herbs used in our medicinal bath were mostly from that garden. Some were even planted by the Dragon race for Godmother.]

Han Haerin was shocked but seemed interested. She decided to visit her godmother’s garden after breakfast. This morning her godmother gave her another book. This time it’s a book about immortal herbs. She can start comparing things in reality and the book itself.

—

After breakfast, the three had split up doing their own plans and training regime. Han Haerin heads to the garden as she wanted to compare the immortal herbs in her book and the ones in the garden. Xiao Muen heads to the training hall, this time he is trying to comprehend a foot work which would greatly increase his strength as long as he learns and masters it. As for Ru Yunlan, he went to find his godmother who was not sunbathing in the renovated backyard with her straw hat covering her face while seated on her rocking chair.

Beside her a wooden tub that looked like a boiling lava was placed beside her. Seeing the contents of the wooden tub, Ru Yunlan and the death god’s soul fragment were stunned for different reasons. Ru Yunlan trembles upon seeing what is in the tub while the death gods sound excited and at awe upon realizing what kind of concoction was in the tub.

Ru Yunlan’s thoughts: ’Do I need to get boiled again?’

’Holy shit! A dragon king’s blood concoction!? This is the first time I am seeing such purity! Kid, with this you will definitely reach the initial stage of Ancient God Physique! Damn! Don’t you know how precious a dragon king’s blood is!? You are so damn lucky!’ The death god’s soul fragment was yapping nonstop in Ru Yunlan’s head.

Yue Xuexia, who was napping, noticed his arrival and said, "You’re here. This time you can only wear a boxer though it would be better if you are completely naked in the tub so you can absorb more dragon blood."

She covered her head with her straw hat again and said, "I will not look. Get in the tub when you are ready."

Ru Yunlan hesitated and a bit of blush appeared on his face. On the other hand, the death god’s voice was scolding him in his mind.

’Remove those dirty thoughts in your head. Even if you stood naked before this woman she would only look at you with emotionless eyes. She is a divine doctor which she hasn’t seen before? Moreover, without a heart, she is no different from a heartless doll. The only reason she is different towards you is because in her eyes you are her son, a child. Not a man that falls in the category of being a lover! Wake up, brat and get going!’

Hearing this Ru Yunlan removed all his clothes and only wrapped a cloth around his waist to hide his private parts and entered the tub as soon as half of his body entered inside he was suddenly assaulted with a pain that is twice more than the one when he entered the small spring before. His knees tremble and he almost kneels inside the tub only to support himself at the edges of the wooden tub.

For some reason, this ordinary looking wooden tub which is supposed to be easy to break was able to bear his strength not even cracking under his grip.

AGH!
