Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 718: Resolving Karmas (3)

Seeing that Tian Qiuji had successfully completed his rebirth, Yue Xuexia had congratulated the old man. From a white hair, wrinkled face and disabled legs old man to a handsome uncle in his late forties with silky, black hair and smooth skin and attractive features, one wouldn’t believe he wasn’t reborn. The process of his regression from old age to youth was something witnessed by everyone in the area including the caretaker who used to look down on Old man Qiu.

The caretaker mumbles in shock, "Immortal... An immortal!" Then she fainted from over stimulation. She is just a greedy old lady after all.

As for the Moon Goddess, everything was within her expectation and was now calmly enjoying her tea.

Yue Xuexia said, "How is it Grandpa Qiu? Did you like your transformation?"

"Hm. Not bad. I looked handsome when I was young. This is the face your grandmother fell for." Grandpa Tian said.

Yue Xuexia said, "If it’s your wife, she has reincarnated and is now a single middle aged lady. A few years more than how you look right now. But... It would be a bit hard for you to pursue her." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"What do you mean?" Grandpa Tian asked as he once again joined Yue Xuexia for tea.

Yue Xuexia said, "Your former wife was reincarnated as Immortal Princess of B country. She is now considered an ancestor of the royal bloodline of that country. If you wish to, I can give her previous life’s memories. If you want her to remember you can break this memory orb. Just consider this as my second gift to grandpa Qiu."

The handsome Tian Qiuji looked at the rainbow colored memory orb in his hand. Treating it as a treasure that can be easily broken, he keeps it close to his heart for safe-keeping. After staring at the memory orb with a nostalgic gaze, he hid it and took a cup of tea and enjoyed it quite joyously.

Yue Xuexia said, "What does Grandpa Qiu plan on doing now? When that caretaker wakes up, the fact that you’ve returned will not be hidden."

"Don’t worry. I might have gotten older but some of my people are still alive. They are loyal and would definitely back me up. I will take back what is meant for me." Tian Qiuji said. "However, you have given this old man too much. Is there something I can do to help you? Tell me. I will do my best to fulfill it!"

Seeing the seriousness in the old man’s eyes and his determination to repay her for everything she had done, Yue Xuexia suddenly looked at the sky and started talking which the old man can only listen into.

"This world is where I was born into. For as long as I remember this place is my home. But... my family is no longer here so in the future I will have to take my leave. When that happens my presence in this world which restrains the others from making a move to cause chaos will make a move again. The Moon Palace I will leave behind will not be enough."

"Tian Qiuji, if I want you to become one of the pillars that protects this star, are you willing?" Yue Xuexia said.

The middle aged man put his cup down calmly on the table, stood up and kneel before Yue Xuexia. This time his eyes aren’t looking at the young lady like a doting grandfather, instead, he is like a soldier reporting to his general. He saluted before the Moon Goddess.

"This subordinate is willing!" Tian Qiuji said.

Seeing this Yue Xuexia nodded her head and with a move of her hand, her qi lifted the elder up from his kneeling on one knee position. She smiled as if delighted to find more people to protect the Exiled Star when she is gone.

"Good! At the right time, I will summon you and the others. Aside from you I have chosen a few people. Before I ascend to the higher realm, I will see all of you and leave you a gift which would be enough for you to protect this star when I am gone." Yue Xuexia said. "For now, why don’t you do what you wish to do?"

When Tian Qiuji raised his head, the young lady was no longer there. Despite the similar face, her standing is now completely different from before. She is no longer a mortal but an existence that stood above the so-called gods in this world. The people now call her Goddess of Creation, their Great Guardian and the owner of the world they are in.

"Though I expected her to stand out among the rest, who would have expected that she had become a goddess that stood above the world." Tian Qiuji said as he looked at the clear skies above his head.

Next Yue Xuexia had come to visit her relatives from her father’s side and inform them about her father.

The ones she visited were the Lin and Fu families. They were the ones who had suffered the most after the foreign cultivators had descended in their star. With most of Yue Xuexia’s companies being at the top of the country and the world, they who handled these companies for her, were the ones who were affected the most when those outsiders wanted to take over the companies ownership.

Normally, she should be visiting them before the others as soon as she finished purging the Mortal Realm. However, they rejected her requests to see her, especially her cousins who have a close relationship with her: Fu Ruan, Lin Xiyu and Fu Rue. The reason for this rejected visit is simple. They were embarrassed to see their cousin after failing to protect her things which she had left in their care.

In reality, they themselves lost a few of their limbs fighting for it. Even so, they failed to protect what they wanted to protect. They feel that they have no face to see their beloved cousin. That was until a message from Yue Xuexia includes something about their Uncle Yue Yuya that the elders and their wives finally talk to them into agreeing to meet Yue Xuexia that they finally agree.

The next morning, Yue Xuexia didn’t appear in front of her cousin’s house as the Moon Goddess everyone is hearing. She wore ordinary modern clothing even so, her demeanor had completely changed. She no longer feels as a mortal making those who were low in cultivation feel awe in her presence.

The wife of her cousin, Fu Ruan, welcomed her inside.

"Xue’er?"

She called with a bit of disbelief. The change in Yue Xuexia is much more than even those who had met her before would think that she had changed too much. A different kind of existence, completely different from them.

"Fu-Saozi (Sister-in-law Fu), it’s me Xue’er. Are brothers, Uncles and Aunts inside?"

"Ah?! Yes. Yes, they are inside. Please come in!" Fu Ruan’s wife opened the mansion’s door for her.

The Mansion of Fu and Lin families are connected. Though it wasn’t originally built this way, Yue Xuexia believed that this change had begun when she left. The two mansions were big compared to how it originally looked. Now it looked like an imperial palace with many courtyards inside. Yue Xuexia can feel the guards and servants sneaking a peek her way before hiding. They might have been given an order not to openly bother her.

The wife of her elder cousin brother had escorted her to the main hall where Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were waiting for her. These four elders welcomed her like before. They were always loving and full of energy. Though they look like they are only in their late forties and fifties in reality their ages are already twice or thrice of how they look. Before the Yue Clan went to the Cultivation Realm, Papa Yue had taught the Yue Clan how to cultivate. Maybe at that time, Yue Yuya already realized that he wouldn’t be able to come back to see them and that it would be the last time they would see him.

Her two aunts are her father’s blood siblings so Papa Yue told them the truth. That they might not be able to return and that only Yue Xuexia would see them the next time they met. At the same time, this would also be the last meeting with Yue Xuexia as she herself will need to ascend in another world. At that time, the Lin and Fu families didn’t understand the words of Yue Yuya. It was only then when the foreign races and cultivators had descended in their world and taken over it that they finally realized that beyond the sky and space they knew about, there will always be another world, another set of races and that they are more powerful than they are.

"Aunts, Uncles, I came today to see you and cousins. To talk about father and our family as well as for me to say my goodbyes," said Yue Xuexia.
