Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 713: A bit lazy

Ru Yunlan, suddenly questioned by his fiance, felt that keeping the existence of the soul fragment of the death god in him was no different from lying. However, this senior had always scared him saying that if others learn about his existence or how his latent powers had connection to the dead, they will most likely not accept him at all. This scared Ru Yunlan so much and was frightened by this fact. For now, he chose to keep it as a secret.

He responded to Han Haerin’s question and said, "Nothing. I’m alright. But I will not enter inside with you. I felt that whatever is inside, is dangerous for me."

"Dangerous? Is there really something inside? How come I cannot feel anything?" Xiao Muen said.

Han Haerin, seeing her lover’s reaction, said, "Then I will not enter as well."

"No! If you feel comfortable with this place, that means that whatever is in this place is our opportunity. Haerin, you mustn’t waste this luck of finding something like your calling," said Ru Yunlan.

Xiao Muen felt that his nephew’s words are right yet at the same thing something obscure with his words. Even so, he chose not to directly ask anything and instead convinced his niece to not waste such an opportunity.

"Xiao Rin, your brother is right. If this place is making you comfortable then that only means that something in this place is calling for you. It’s an opportunity that suits you the most at least. I will go inside with you if you feel nervous." Xiao Muen said.

Ru Yunlan held his fiancee’s hand and said while smiling. "I will wait for you and Uncle Xiao to come out. There is a godmother and seniors with me here. I will be alright. Take this opportunity. Have you forgotten what we came for in this ruin?"

Han Haerin thought about their promise to ascend to Huashen Realm as soon as possible and freed their godmother from them who was afraid they would fail to protect themselves once she was gone. Their parents also have the same thoughts as them.

Yue Xuexia finally spoke up and said, "This place is a good choice to stay in. I will have to create a temporary residence in this place. You two should get going."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Muen and Han Haerin finally decided to go inside this building that looks like a big flower. After they entered inside the temple, Xue Renxue and Tan Bingyu had entered inside to follow the two. After all, with the Moon Goddess with Ru Yunlan, there is no need for them to be redundant.

Han Haerin said, "Then Godmother, Brother Ru we will be back!"

After sending the rest of them inside, Ru Yunlan who was left behind felt a bit nervous under the stare of his godmother. He was terrified that the moon goddess might have known the existence of the soul fragment inside of him. However, he also believes that even if his godmother knew about it, she would never harm him as well.

Ru Yunlan was about to tell his godmother about his situation when suddenly he saw Yue Xuexia erecting some formation around the area. This just made the former feel even more nervous and started thinking negative things in his mind. All of the sudden, someone flick him on his forehead. He raised his chin and saw his godmother looking at him and a newly made mansion made of trees behind her.

Yue Xuexia said, "What are you being dazed for? Stop thinking of negative thoughts. Since the opportunity here doesn’t suit you, you can just find a new one for yourself. You felt something in the desert area didn’t you?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

A surprised look appeared on the face of Ru Yunlan and looked at his godmother who was smiling at him. Yue Xuexia pats his head despite his age and treats him like a child. Ru Yunlan didn’t mind this gesture and let his godmother touch his hair.

He said, "Godmother, noticed? Since when?" Ru Yunlan was asking as if he guessed that the Moon Goddess already knew about the soul inside of him.

Actually, Yue Xuexia didn’t know. However, she had been watching all three of them as they entered the ruins and noticed the strange yet subtle reactions from Ru Yunlan. Like suddenly turning his head back to the rear and then his words when he said what kind of monster was stalking them from behind.

Yue Xuexia said, "It seems you can feel some presence and notice the sandworm before the others do. You’ve also turned your head to look at the desert before we leave the place. Did you feel something in the desert that suits you?"

Upon hearing this explanation from his godmother, Ru Yunlan realized that his godmother only noticed his hidden action but not the soul inside of him. Thinking of this he felt relief.

Ru Yunlan said, "Godmother, can I go back to the desert area for a while?"

"Sure. You can go. If it’s your own opportunity then returning to that place is indeed the correct choice. I will not stop you." Yue Xuexia said.

After getting permission to leave from his godmother, Yue Xuexia, Run Yunlan had left the forest again and headed back to the desert. After watching the figure of Ru Yunlan flying away, the smile on the Moon Goddess had faded.

She said, "Qiuqiu, are you sure that the soul in Xiao Lan will not cause him harm?"

[Don’t worry, Xue’er. That soul fragment is nothing but a wisp of soul to past one’s legacy. Once everything it knew had been passed on to your godson, he would disappear. But the death qi is one of the most dangerous qi in existence, is it truly alright to let it exist?]

"Yes. Like there is life, there is death. If water flows, the fire burns. Like how the sun exists on the day, the moon appears on the night. Everything had a contrast like how everything has a balance."

"Just because it is called a death qi, it doesn’t mean he will be evil. The power of shura can be considered powerful and evil, yet no one truly believes that he is pure evil. He is more like an embodiment of power. If he is truly evil, will the deva care for him."

"As long as Xiao Lan controlled the death qi and didn’t harm the innocents, he cannot be called a devil. I will protect him if someone wants to harm him even if it’s a remnant soul of a primordial god."

The words of the Moon Goddess were cold yet serious. It was more like an oath that she made for the sake of her godson. However, the system knew that she wasn’t kidding when she said this. If someone truly found out about the existence of the Nether Physique of Ru Yunlan, those from the demonic side would definitely covet the boy. No wonder the Moon Goddess wanted these groups to get stronger faster. That way even after she left, they would have the power to protect themselves.

With the house made through the control of nature energy and the defensive formation around the area activated, Yue Xuexia had released Ru Lanyu, Lin Ruri and Han Yoonjun from her small world. The three seemed to have fun playing with the children inside and were stunned to see that the place they were in had changed.

Ru Lanyu looked around and noticed that the area was something she didn’t recognize.

She asked, "Are we already inside the ruins?"

"Wow~ what is with this flower? Is this a building? Can I go inside?" Lin Ruri asked.

Han Yoonjun stopped his wife as he noticed that the strange building seemed to be a bit eerie. As if rejecting them.

He said, "Xiao Ru, don’t run around. Let’s listen to Yue’s instructions first. Such an unknown land, it’s dangerous to run around."

The three after looking around finally found Yue Xuexia seated at a table having tea on her own. She didn’t stop them when the three were looking around. With the formation around the area they are unable to leave outside the barrier. As for the Flower temple, they will be rejected because of their low realms.

Yue Xuexia said, "Alright. Don’t run around now. I will teach you new things so you can start your training on your own."

Meanwhile in the desert area...

Ru Yunlan had finally returned to the place full of sand, flying around with the Death God’s soul fragment’s avatar floating beside him.

{You are worried too much. Do you truly believe that your godmother didn’t know about my existence? She is only waiting for you to tell her yourself.}

"Is that true? Godmother already knew about you? But why isn’t she asking me instead." Ru Yunlan asked.

{She trusts you. That’s why she believes you will not use death qi to harm others. Moreover, this is your secret. She doesn’t seem like the kind of person who likes to pry on other’s secrets. Your godmother seems to be... a bit lazy? A salted fish.}

Ru Yunlan, "..."

When the senior in his mind said that his godmother is a bit lazy like a salted fish, Ru Yunlan was unable to retort anything. After all, living with his godmother for years, he knew that she is the kind of person who will stand if she can sit and will not sit if she can lay down.
