Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 460: Look alike

Heavenly City

It was already a month since the beast riot had officially ended. Most destroyed buildings and houses were now fully repaired and the city had resumed to its boisterous and busy state like before the calamity had fallen onto them. Though those who had died that day will never return, those who had survived and had connections to these heroic people were compensated by the three big sects and the city lord himself.

Because of that the situation in the city had become more joyous and full of hope of the lives that didn’t end that day. Of course, no one had forgotten about the goddess who had saved their lives that day. The Heavenly Manor which Yue Xuexia used to live in had become something akin to a shrine.

People would come over to offer prayers and gratitude. Moreover, no one is allowed to stay inside for more than an hour or else the disciples of the three Heavenly Sects would drag you out. Even the patrolling knight might treat you like a criminal. Plus, you would be banned from entering the Crimson Cloud Pavilion when caught.

Today, Lin Chiru, the owner of the Crimson Cloud Pavilion, had stayed in the Heavenly Manor with his other three friends and had some tea at the stone table in the minor’s garden area. One of them is even feeding the newly placed carp at the pond which is now devoid of the two sentient lotus flowers. Right now, only ordinary lotus flowers are floating on the pond and some red carps are swimming around, currently being fed by Di Lou for fun.

They choose to come here everyday and meditate for an hour. This heavenly manor had become a sacred ground after housing the Moon Goddess for a few months. Because of that, the qi in this land is purer compared to the other lands. There are also some immortal herbs and artifacts left behind in the warehouse. Most of it are treasures that are rare in the market. However, it grew here like ordinary things.

Yue Xuexia intentionally left these things behind for the city. It was said that one is allowed to take one immortal herb as long as you planted another herb of equal worth. The artifacts in the warehouse can be borrowed as well and it will be recorded at the door who the borrower is, what it will be used for and for how long it will be borrowed. There are some special runes engraved on the weapons.

This is the rune of return. Once the allotted time is done, the artifact will return to the warehouse no matter what. Also anyone who tried to remove this rune will be hit by thunder as punishment. After all, most weapons Yue Xuexia left in the warehouse are born with weapon spirit embryos. If it evolves well in the future a soul will be born in the future. Moreover, only someone chosen by the weapon can take it away.

Because of this information, a lot of guests from the other cities would try their luck when it comes to this. Who didn’t want a weapon with a soul?

The Heavenly Manor became a tourist spot for those who come for the artifacts and a shrine for those who wanted to pray for her blessing. In the future this manor will be called the Moon Goddess Shrine.

At the garden...

Among the four groups of friends, only Wan Yuren hasn’t finished his meditation. Lin Chiru, Hou Wen and Di Lou were waiting for him to finish. The Heavenly Flame Sect’s scion, Hou Wen, noticed that Wan Yuren and Lin Chiru’s realm had increased to a minor realm. Lin Chiru from Mid Jindan Realm to Late Jindan Realm. Wan Yuren from Peak Innateness Realm to Early Jindan Realm.

Hou Wen said, "Ah~ are you two monsters? We are all training together here everyday, how come you two broke through a minor realm already!?"

"Hahaha~ don’t compare us to these two. You will only have a headache," said Di Lou, the Prince of the Heavenly Medicine Sect.

Ever since his father, Di Luya, had become the Heavenly Medicine Sect’s Master, Di Lou’s standing had changed as well. As Di Luya’s biological son, Di Lou had become the prince of his own sect and his resources had greatly increased as well.

Hou Wen said, "Don’t talk, you traitor! Your plant spirit has gotten stronger as well. How about me? My realm is still the same!"

"Shut up, you greedy fool! Only you among the four of us had gained an artifact from the Goddess’ warehouse and you still want to get even stronger!?" Retorted Di Lou.

Meanwhile, Hou Wen started grinning as he touched the red gauntlet in his hands. This is a silver grade artifact with a spirit embryo. After their group roamed around the mansion yesterday, this gauntlet had fallen onto Hou Wen’s face and left everyone in shock. They witnessed how their friend had fallen in dazed after being hit and started jumping around after waking up. Then he told them that the gauntlet that fell on his face initiated a contract with him and finally became his artifact.

Hou Wen chuckles and said, "Hehe~ I was just lucky~"

"I’m going beat you up you bastard!" Di Lou said as he chased after Hou Wen making them run around the garden.

On the other hand, Lin Chiru couldn’t help but fall in a daze as he looked at the interior of the mansion, imagining the person who used to live in this place. Looking around the mansion with a smile, Lin Chiru didn’t even notice how gentle he looked at that moment. This tranquil scene was broken by Wan Yuren who spoke up for their other master, the Sword God.

"You still can’t forget about her? Master is worried," Wan Yuren said.

The aura of Lin Chiru turned from gentle to indifferent and said, "Do not worry. It’s just a reminiscence. There is nothing further than that," said Lin Chiru.

Wan Yuren said, "Alright. The hour is almost up, we should leave. Let’s eat before going back."

"Sure. Let’s go to the usual place!" Di Lou said.

The four young masters made a decision to leave and head to the most expensive restaurant in the city. The private room they had chosen is located at the open window, looking through the lively road to the market. They had enjoyed their meal and were resting for a short time as they had some tea to help digest what they had just eaten.

Di Lou noticed a lot of outsiders had been coming to their city. This is not only because of the Moon Goddess’ Heavenly Manor but also because of another reason.

"There are lots of outsiders coming into the city lately," Di Lou said.

Hou Wen said, "Is that something surprising? The Heavenly Manor is too popular lately."

"It is not just that," Lin Chiru said as he glanced at the head disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Wan Yuren spoke, "The Sword God’s inheritance altar had been open to others. Those who are invited would mostly gather in the city. It’s no surprise."

"No wonder~" said Di Lou as he lifted his cup to drink his tea only to see Tan Bingyu who arrived in the Heavenly City at this moment.

The tea Di Lou was about to swallow sprayed like a fountain towards Hou Wen’s face who didn’t expect this to happen.

Spurts~

Cough. Cough. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Hou Wen complained, "What the hell?! That’s disgusting!"

"S-Sorry... I think I saw someone that looks a bit like my mother," said Di Lou.

Lin Chiru said, "Aren’t you an only child?"

"I need to check if I am seeing things. See you later~" said Di Lou as he jumped out of the window and merged with the crowd below. His friend didn’t stop him as he looked a bit desperate.

Wan Yuren sipped his tea and said, "Speaking of Di Lou’s mother, have you seen her before?"

"Yes, I saw her before Di Lou was born. He is the youngest among them after all," said Lin Chiru.

Even though the people of the Heavenly City treated the four young geniuses of their city as someone in the same generation, this is only true because they live longer than ordinary people. An age gap of a few centuries or decades is not much for them.

Wan Yuren said, "Didn’t his mother look a bit like Junior Sister Tan Bingyu?"

Lin Chiru’s hand, which was about to lift his tea cup, suddenly froze and looked at Wan Yuren. As if he recalled the same memory of that young lady who is close to Mo Jue and Fu Lili, he realized that Wan Yuren’s words are correct.

The owner of the Crimson Cloud Pavilion realized what his friend was trying to say and asked, "Are they related by blood?"

Hou Wen who was cut off from the conversation of these two put his head in between Lin Chiru and Yan Wuren.

He said, "Don’t ignore me. At least tell me what is going on."

A few hours ago...

Tan Bingyu upon arriving in the Heavenly City was welcomed by those people from the same organization of the informant who told them the situation of her mistress.

At the gates of the Heavenly City, a man looking like a patrol guard passed a letter to her with a smile.

"Welcome to the Heavenly City Princess Tan. This is the information you have asked for," the guard said.

Upon seeing that their client had accepted the information, the informant resumed his job as patrol guard and Tan Bingyu even overheard their conversation.

"Man, you can’t pick up chicks during work time."

"Sorry, Brother. She is just too pretty."

Tan Bingyu ignored them and walked into the city and read the information that had been passed to her. After reading it he destroyed it on the spot then mumbles,

"The Heavenly Manor ka?"
