Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 808: Town
The Du Clan had sought the Fairy Queen asking for her assistance in killing the Moon Goddess who would most likely come to uproot their clan. It was unknown when the Goddess of the Moon would pay them a visit but the fact that they had offended her cannot be changed at all. The Fairy Queen was leaning lazily at the opened flower while staring down at the old man kneeling not too far from her.
"What did you just say!?" The Fairy Queen shouted in shock.
The Du Clan’s Master said while kneeling, "I am telling the truth! The Moon Empress has returned to the Immortal World!"
"She had returned? How are you so sure? If this is just a rumor, I am going to exterminate your whole clan!" The Fairy Queen declared.
The kneeling man, Du Clan’s Master, trembles but still insists on what his subordinates learned during the auction at the Trading planet, the Dawn Star. Even though he is terrified by the reaction of the Fairy Queen and her suppressing aura’s cultivation realm, he bears with it. This queen of fairies is his clan’s last chance of survival.
"Your highness, this servant is not lying! Everyone had heard about her in the Dawn Star. It’s just that no one spread the news of her as she didn’t want others to know about it!" The clan master of Du Clan said. "Please save us. My subordinate had offended the Moon Empress’s people and... I fear that my DU clan will be exterminated by her!"
"Her subordinate? Why was it a clan or sect?" The Fairy Queen asked.
The Clan master of Du clan answers, "It’s the Hidden Tang Sect of the Outer Haven!"
"Hidden Tang Sect? Isn’t that one of the ancient sects that refuse to be under the Star Empire? Do they still exist?" Fairy Queen said.
"They still exist. It’s just that they had moved to the Outer Haven from the Inner Haven," The Du Clan’s master said.
The Fairy Queen observes the old man before her observing that this almost dead thing is lying to him. If he is then there is no need to let him leave this island alive. However, what if? What if the Moon Goddess had truly returned? Isn’t this the chance to kill her before those two obsessed men found her?
The queen of all fairies said, "I will send two Quasi-emperor cultivators to protect your Du Clan. They should be enough to protect your clan. Go back. I will need to think first what to do in this situation."
"Yes! Thank you, your highness!"
The Clan Master of the Du Clan was delighted to have two quasi-emperors as protectors of his clan. Though quasi-emperor cultivators are weaker than real emperor cultivators, they are stronger than anyone below the realm of emperor. He left with a joyous expression on his face little that he knew that behind the veil of the Fairy Queen, her face was cold and expressionless.
After he had left the guest hall, the Fairy Queen had stood from her seat and went into some hidden path which led underground. In this underground path, a huge untraceable communication orb was hidden. The fairy queen activated it and a few shadows appeared from it.
"Reporting to master! There is no strange movement from the side of the Star Clan."
"The world had resurrected the Immortal Sun Emperor and his wife, the Moon Empress."
"Everything is still under control."
{That’s good. Continue to find a way to kill the Heavenly Laws. Once the laws of the world are gone, we can take over this world.} 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Yes, Master!"
—
At the nearest town, a luxurious carriage pulled by lesser phoenix stopped at the gates which startled all the guards protecting the area. The town is only bigger than the small village where the Tan family had stayed, but this is the only entrance to the Outer Haven from the outskirts.
"Who the hell owns a carriage pulled by phoenixes?!"
"This is insane! Can we even welcome them with our low position?"
"Shut up! Don’t talk. Don’t look. You might lose your life!"
The guards said among themselves upon witnessing the arrival of such a carriage that is most likely only used by those of royal blood. All of the sudden, this carriage’s door opened and a veil lady with ordinary features had gone down. However, the lotus shaped imprint of her forehead shows that she is at least of noble class. The fact that they can’t see through her cultivation is that either she had a treasure that shielded her realm or she possessed a realm higher than theirs.
The realm of these guards is the Huashen realm. In the Immortal World, Huashen realm cultivators can only work as a servant, a guard or any ordinary careers. Only when one reaches the Mahayama realm will they be considered real cultivators. If one is young and talented enough, the clans and sects will be open for you. However, it’s very hard for cultivators with high realms to have children. That’s why to expand the clans and sects in this world, they adopt or take people from the lower realm world like the former Exiled Star.
The Moon Goddess didn’t mind their reaction and took back the carriage to her system storage. She walks towards the gates and no guards dares to stop her. As soon as she entered the town someone hugged her. Caught off guard, Yue Xuexia’s eyes turned cold just as she was about to beat down the bastard that dared to jump on her, she heard the man called her name.
"Xue’er, I miss you so much. I’m so hungry~. Feed me please~" said the man.
Yue Xuexia was stunned as the coldness of her gaze faded. This clinginess and foodie nature that would always come over to her side asking for food, they were only one person who met her memories. She also noticed a few men in the crowd wearing the type of armor of this man looking at them dumbfounded.
She calls the name of the person in her memory.
"Yangyang?"
The man stopped hugging her and grabbed her arms with a huge grin on his face and looked at her with an innocent and undisguised famished expression on his face.
"Xue’er! You recognize me!!! So happy~"
The Great General Taiyang was so delighted that he carried Yue Xuexia like a child holding her waist and twirling in circles on the spot. Before the Moon Goddess got dizzy she hit Taiyang’s head with a chop.
"Enough. Let go. I’m dizzy, Yangyang!" said the Moon Goddess.
Taiyang feeling bullied put the Moon Goddess down and pouted. Seeing this the subordinate of the Great General who came with him today was all speechless and was asking in their mind if this childish young man who was acting like a golden retriever before the veiled lady was truly their Great General.
Yue Xuexia, on the other hand, was used to this but looked around as if looking for someone’s presence.
"Are you looking for someone, Xue’er?" Taiyang asked.
The Moon Goddess said, "No."
She immediately changed the subject of the conversation and said, "I don’t mind cooking but you have to find a place for me to cook and the ingredients to make a meal."
General Taiyang said, "Everything is ready. I will bring you somewhere, Xue’er."
Whistles~
Under the command of this whistle, a flying black horse with red flames as a mane and a pair of horns fly down to the side of Taiyang. This black horse looks like a monster instead of just a mutated one. Yue Xuexia was amazed as this is the first time she had seen such a cool looking horse.
Neigh~
"Xue’er, this is my mount. A Fallen Flame Bicorn," said Taiyang.
Yue Xuexia stares at the horse monster with a calm gaze. When she and the horse stared at each other for a second, the horse suddenly approached the Moon Goddess, Taiyang and his subordinates thought that the bicorn would harm Yue Xuexia only to be shocked that it would sit down to lower itself before the Moon Goddess.
Nei-Neigh~
"You want me to pat your head?" Yue Xuexia asked as the horse nuzzled its face at Yue Xuexia’s hand.
Seeing the reaction of the horse owned by the Great General being so tamed before the Moon Goddess took everyone by surprise. The thoughts of Taiyang’s subordinates were in chaos.
’Is this still the monster horse whose kick makes one head explode?’
’The hell! This is the first time I’ve seen that damn horse kneel!’
’Even the great general was almost kicked on the face the first time they met!’
’Her Majesty, the Empress, is amazing!’
Yue Xuexia pats the head of the black horse and only after she is satisfied that she pulls out a blackish red grass from her inventory. This is hell grass, the Sun God had given to her in the Fallen Gods’s tomb. The Bicorn happily ate the high grade grass that can help a cultivator with flame spirit root breakthrough from Huashen to Mahayama realm. A treasure in the eyes of those who were born with Fire spirit roots.
Taiyang upon seeing this said, "Xue’er, you can’t spoil it alone. I also want to eat!"
"You want to eat grass?" Yue Xuexia asked in surprise.
Taiyang retorted, "No! I want food. I want to eat your cooking!"
"Alright. You bring me to that place where I can cook. I will make you a big meal," said Yue Xuexia.
Delighted. Taiyang carried Yue Xuexia directly on the horse after it was done eating and left the entrance to go deeper in the town.
