Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 312: World Tree Spirit
Chapter 312: 312: World Tree Spirit
The Fae race was led by the Fae Queen Rose and finally arrived. With the deactivation of the Illusionary Formation, the group of Yue Xuexia plus the first elder monkey who came as the representative of the Ape race was welcomed by the Fae race to their territory.
Now unhindered by any illusions or spells, the group finally saw how magical the whole place was. The glowing huge mushroom works as a light that guides the area, a big cluster of various flowers as houses for the Fae race, as well as huge vegetables and fruits scattered around the area. Flying fairies flying around and giggling and chasing each other unfold before their eyes.
Tan Bingyu even liked the magical scene before her eyes. Even though she might look cold on the outside, she is the type to like all cute and small things. That’s why she loves the scene in the territory of the Fae race.
The Fae Queen had led them to the area under the world tree. There are traces of burned leaves scattered in the area and tree doctors are now crying at the state of the world tree. Some of them even have burns on their faces and obviously tried to protect the world tree from being burned down by the sun.
Sobs~ Sniffles~ Wuwu~
However, what can a few individuals do against the Sun God’s domain? What descended is a real sun; it is not something a mere Fae race can defend about.
"Queen, the world tree is dying!"
"More than half of its branches had turned to ashes."
"We did everything that could be done, however, it was of no use."
"Sobs~ sacrifice me and make fertilizer! Maybe the world tree can be saved!"
"I am also willing to sacrifice!"
"Me too!"
"I am as well!"
A lot of faes all raised their hands intending to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world tree. After all, this tree was the reason they exist. They were born from this tree, and they exist to protect it. Now that they have failed their duties, sacrificing themselves to save the world tree is a worthy exchange in their eyes.
The Fae Queen shouts, "Calm down! No one is allowed to sacrifice themselves until I do so! I am the one who failed my duties as the Fae Queen. If one had to sacrifice for the world tree first it would be me!"
All the fairies shut their mouths and started crying at the words of their Fae Queen. They loved her as much as they loved the World Tree and couldn’t bear that she made a sacrifice alone when they could do it together. However, they also knew that the Fae Queen was the strongest among them; her sacrifice would definitely have a greater effect if she indeed makes a sacrifice.
But this sacrifice did not indicate that the world tree will survive even so the Fae Race is still willing to put their lives in line.
Tsk!
The first elder monkey grumbles, "It’s just a stupid tree. How come you are going to sacrifice your queen for it? Stupid race!"
The elder monkey received countless glares from all of the fairies in the area and he can only shut up immediately. As for Taiyang and Shen Jueyang who caused this situation, they never cared. After all, if not for that illusion at the entrance of the territory, no one would have happened. Who told these bugs to block their path? Now the current situation is the result of their actions.
Only Tan Bingyu approached her mistress and pulled her sleeves a little. She couldn’t help but secretly ask for her mistress’ help. Moreover, this is the first time Tan Bingyu asked his mistress, and it’s a request that had nothing to do with her at all.
Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, I plead with you as well. If you can save that tree, please help these poor, cute creatures."
"You like them, Sister Bingyu?" asked Yue Xuexia.
A small blush appeared on Tan Bingyu’s face, and she said, "I like all cute and small things."
"Alright! I will do as you wish. Sister Bingyu rarely asks me for anything. This wish of yours, I shall grant it," Yue Xuexia said.
After agreeing to the request of Tan Bingyu, Yue Xuexia approached the world tree.
"What are you doing!?"
"Halt! Do not approach closer, or I will attack!"
"Stop! Let her come and try it!" said the Fae Queen.
Some fairies tried to stop her from touching their previous tree but were stopped by the Fae Queen. After all, she had witnessed that it was this human who had stopped the sun from falling on their territory; that’s why half of the world tree had survived.
However, dissatisfaction echoes from the voice of the fae race.
"Fae Queen, why!?"
"That’s a human!"
"Humans are evil! They keep wanting to cut trees!"
The Fae Queen said, "She is the one who has stopped the sun from falling over our heads. You still dare to call her evil!?"
All Fae turned quiet at these words. They would have never expected that it was this human girl who had saved their lives a few moments ago. They can only watch as Yue Xuexia bumps her head directly into the white trunk of the world tree, and with her eyes closed, she tries to communicate with the spirit within the tree.
Yue Xuexia woke up in a white space with nothing but white territory. At the center of this white world is a crying little child with burns on his head. All of his hair was burned, and even his scalp was burned badly.
{Boohoo~, it hurts. It hurts so much. Wuwu~}
Yue Xuexia sat beside the crying child. She didn’t dare to reach out or touch the injured child. However, she can feel the sadness of such injuries. She can only see it, but she knows how painful burns are. She lightly controlled her qi and made cool air burst from her hands. She placed them lightly at the burns to at least soothe the burning pain even a little.
As expected, the crying child finally looked at her. The boy has white, milk-like skin, soft and cuddly paired with his chubby face and a pair of gorgeous golden eyes; he looks like a lovely little doll.
{I know you. It’s the sister moon who saved me from that bad sun! Sister Moon, thank you for saving me! However, it seems that I’m still going to die. My head is eroded with sun energy; I will... Dry up soon.}
Yue Xuexia cuddled the little boy and said, "Sister can heal you. Bear the pain for a bit longer, okay?" She used divine healing skills on the little boy to cure his burned head.
The little boy happily hummed us, and a powerful divine energy entered him, curing his burned head until his golden hair started growing back.
Meanwhile, in reality, the moment Yue Xuexia started healing the boy on her soul domain, a golden-silver light fell from the sky. It was brighter and more powerful than when she was healing the injured monkey king.
Under everyone’s gaze, the burned area of the world tree started to fade, and new branches and golden leaves once again started to grow at a very fast pace under this golden light. Everyone noticed the crescent moon looming above the world tree, and the golden-silver light was coming from it.
Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and Shen Jueyang are used to this scene. This vision always shows whenever Yue Xuexia uses her divine healing skills. Since it’s a power of divinity, as the moon goddess, her strength comes from the moon itself; thus, the moon would descend every time she uses her divinity.
The whole Fae race was dumbfounded, including the Fae Queen. As for the first elder monkey in the group, he had long procrastinated himself on the ground, kowtowing towards Yue Xuexia.
"This humble servant greets the Moon Goddess!"
It was at this moment that the Fae Queen understood everything. The ones that came over their territory were no ordinary mortals. One of them is the God of the Sun, who can bring destruction to all things, and a kind Moon Goddess, who can save the suffering of those who receive her blessings.
The Fae Queen commanded her race, "All fairies salute and give your thanks to the Moon Goddess. She is saving our world tree! All of you kneel now!"
Inside the Fae Race’s territory, the whole fairy race had kneeled down before Yue Xuexia and started to revere her as the Moon Goddess instead of the human she currently is. She didn’t even know what was happening outside, as she was busy treating the little boy she met in that white world.
It took a while for Yue Xuexia to completely heal the world tree. Curing mortals is different from curing gods. Even though the world tree is still young, it is still a divine tree, no different from a god. Yue Xuexia exhausted most of her qi to treat the cute boy.
Once the boy finished checking his newly grown hair, he noticed Yue Xuexia had fainted from overuse of her qi. He caught her falling body in reality and let her sleep in his domain for a bit longer.
{Sister Moon, thank you for saving me. For now, sleep well and rest.}
Back in reality
Seeing that Yue Xuexia had fainted, Shen Jueyang was about to catch her but was slapped away by the world tree branches that caught Yue Xuexia before her fall. A cute boy spirit comes out and looks at Shen Jueyang with a grumpy look.
{You bad, Brother Sun! Don’t take away my Sister Moon! She is sleeping!}
Shen Jueyang said, "Damn brat? Do you want to turn to ashes this time!?"
{Boo~ try it if you want. But if Sister Moon woke up and saw me injured again, she would be very angry. Bad Brother Sun, are you not afraid of Sister Moon’s anger?}
Shen Jueyang’s anger deflated the moment Yue Xuexia was mentioned. He can only glare at the stupid world tree spirit who is giving him a badass smile.
"Damn brat! I’m going to pluck all your leaves!" Shen Jueyang retorted.
He and the world tree spirit kept bickering until Yue Xuexia woke up in the evening. Others choose to ignore the two and seem to hate and like one another.
