Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 287: Choice

Yue Xuexia and her group finally found the giant’s house with a red roof. It was found near the edge of the whole village, almost isolated by the whole area. Moreover, compared to the other house, it is smaller and looks older compared to the others.

There were even lesser giants walking around the area. Actually, the expression of the giants when they asked about the red roof was a bit weird. They just didn’t think much about it.

However, they finally understood why when they saw the giant called Rino suddenly running out of the house holding on to a smaller giant that looked like his daughter.

"Something must have happened. Does the mistress want me to investigate?" Tan Bingyu commented at the scene.

Yue Xuexia said, "Yangyang, please go with Sister Bingyu and protect her, please."

"You owe me dinner then," said Taiyang as he left with Tan Bingyu to investigate what was happening in this village.

After Tan Bingyu and Taiyang left, Shen Jueyang asked Yue Xuexia.

"What do you want to do next, Xue’er? I’ll accompany you," Shen Jueyang said with a smile.

Yue Xuexia looked at him with an expressionless and innocent gaze. She said, "I want to follow them."

"Alright. I will lead the way," said Shen Jueyang.

He held Yue Xuexia’s hand and disappeared on the spot. Meanwhile, in a place that looks like a small temple in this Sand Giant village, the giant called Rino carrying his daughter runs towards the temple.

The Rino kneeled before a giant wearing a weird robe and arms covered in tattoos that looked like a rune.

Giant Rino, who was carrying his daughter, whose hair had turned white, which is completely different from the other giants.

"L’rd shaman. I begeth thee prithee saveth mine own daught’r!" Rino begs. fгeewebnovёl.com

Translation: [Lord Shaman. I beg you, please save my daughter!]

This giant called Rino was begging the Shaman of their tribe, which is no different from a doctor on the surface. This father giant was begging as he was kowtowing, causing blood to spill each time his forehead hit the polished rock floor.

The Lord Shaman of this village is an old one. He remembers this giant called Rino. The last time he came to the temple was for his wife’s sake. Unfortunately, his wife wasn’t ill but cursed. It is a curse that even the oldest shaman in the village can lift.

"Rino, mine own issue. Standeth up first. Alloweth me seeth thy daught’r. I shall doth the most wondrous I can." The old shaman said.

Translation: [Rino, my child. Stand up first. Let me see your daughter. I will do the best I can.]

Rino stood up and showed his daughter to the old shaman. As expected, what was happening was the same as what happened to his wife. White hair and deep sleep. This is a curse that takes away the vitality of those inflicted by it. Those who have cultivation will not fall asleep, but the longer the curse was in them, the more their cultivation will be sucked away until they become giants with no cultivation.

As for an ordinary giant with no cultivation, they will fall into a deep sleep as their hair turns white. They will never wake up until they just die in their sleep after all their life energy is sucked away.

The old shaman looked shocked when he saw the daughter of Rino and then sneaked a glimpse at Rino, who was already in tears, as he himself knew what kind of situation it was. He came running to the temple for help. After losing his wife, he didn’t want to lose his daughter as well.

Rino met the gaze of the old shaman, and his tears finally fell. "L’rd shaman, I am willing to giveth hence all of mine own lifespan to mine own daught’r. Prithee saveth h’r!"

Translation: [Lord Shaman, I am willing to give away all of my lifespan to my daughter. Please save her!]

The old shaman exclaims, "Tush tush! Thee already has’t half of thy lifespan to thy jointress. Giving the rest to thy daught’r, coequal at which hour thee knoweth not the lady shall survive? Art thee insane!?"

Translation: [Nonsense! You already have half of your lifespan for your wife. Giving the rest to your daughter, even when you don’t know she will survive? Are you insane!?]

Giant Rino declared, "As longeth as mine own daught’r can liveth, I careth not if ’t be true, I kicketh the bucket! Prithee saveth h’r."

Translation: [As long as my daughter can live, I don’t care if I die! Please save her.]

The old shaman sighed but was determined not to do as Rino pleaded with him to do so. He vowed before never to pass life to someone that cannot be saved. He had already broken this vow when he helped Rino in trying to save his wife.

In the end, the lifespan was wasted, and his wife still died in the end. It was at that moment that the old shaman realized that the curse wasn’t something a mortal like them could resolve. They need a God to help them purify this bloodline from this curse.

"I’m s’rry, Rino. I has’t madeth a holidam to nev’r passeth someone’s lifespan into a dying one. I madeth this holidam aft’r thy jointress kicked the bucket, and ev’ryone who is’t hadst did request the same as thou art, w’re all reject’d by me. I wonneth’t doth t again, Rino. Wasteth not thy life."

Translation: [I’m sorry, Rino. I have made a vow to never pass someone’s lifespan into a dying one. I made this vow after your wife died and everyone who had requested the same as you are, were all rejected by me. I won’t do it again, Rino. Don’t waste your life.]

The giant called Rino fell in despair and started wailing in the temple. The old shaman wanted to comfort him, but knowing he was the one who rejected his request and could not do anything about the curse, the old shaman could only close his eyes, turning a blind eye.

Rino’s loud wails echo throughout the whole temple, making those who can hear it silently cry in their hearts.

"I beggeth thee. Anyone shall doth! prithee. Prithee saveth mine own daught’r! I am willing to doth aught liketh this life of mineth."

Translation: [I beg you. Anyone will do! Please. Please save my daughter! I am willing to do anything like this life of mine.]

Even the old shaman was extremely saddened by these desperate cries from Rino. Everyone knows that this curse is something no one can easily resolve after all their chief was suffering from it for the longest time. Even the war god of their tribe failed to resolve it, and his cultivation had fallen from Mahayana down to Yuanying, and they couldn’t do anything about it.

Just as Rino was to fall in great despair, a female voice echoes in the whole temple.

"Thy prayeth’rs, I has’t hath heard t. In exchange f’r curing thy daught’r thee might not, but s’rve me f’r a hundr’d years. Art thee willing?"

Translation: [Your prayers, I have heard it. In exchange for curing your daughter, you must serve me for a hundred years. Are you willing?]

Rino recognized this voice and was surprised. He couldn’t help but call out a name.

"Dram Moon? (Little Moon)"

Yue Xuexia’s voice once again resounded, "I has’t off’r’d to saveth thy chief from the same thing, howev’r, that gent doesn’t believeth me. Rino, doth thee believeth yond I can saveth thy daught’r and accepteth mine own condition?"

Translation: [I have offered to save your chief from the same thing, however, he doesn’t believe me. Rino, do you believe that I can save your daughter and accept my condition?]

The old shaman was enraged by the voice that is no different from a demon at this moment. He had believed that no one could resolve their curses except for a god, and now an unknown being was trying to seduce Rino into becoming her subordinate in exchange for saving his daughter. That idea is simply absurd.

He bellows towards the sky, as there is no clear direction where the voice is coming from.

"Thee Flibbertigibbet! How art thou able to ent’r this village? How can thee entice one of our greatest warri’r to becometh thy s’rvant?!" shouted the old shaman.

Translation: [You devil! How are you able to enter this village? How can you entice one of our greatest warriors to become your servant?!]

This time it was Shen Jueyang’s words that were heard.

"Fusty thing, who is’t did allow thee to contradict mine own xue’’r’s w’rds!?"

Translation: [Old thing, who allowed you to contradict my Xue’er’s words!?]

The next moment, a heavy aura fell on the temple, causing the old shaman and everyone inside, except for the father and daughter, to fall to the ground due to pressure. Their bodies weren’t harmed; however, they can only kiss the ground under this overpowering power.

Yue Xuexia voice once again resounds, "Rino, thy choice. Shall thee believeth me and alloweth me to cureth thy daught’r, ’r hark to thy shaman’s w’rds and alloweth thy daught’r to kicketh the bucket?"

Translation: [Rino, your choice. Will you believe me and allow me to cure your daughter, or listen to your shaman’s words and let your daughter die?]
