Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 881: In the Carriage
The arrival of the prince of the Mythical Fox race and its first elder had caught the crowd’s attention. As one of the ruling families in the Outer Haven, there is no way they will not recognize the people of the Fox Clan. Though they weren’t as famous as those clans from the branch Divine Beast Tribes, this Mythical Fox Clan is also famous. They are well known for their charming ability as powers. It was said that there is hardly anyone in their clan who couldn’t charm anyone.
The Moon Goddess didn’t accept the greetings right away and glanced at Tan Bingyua and Xue Renxue. Only when they two had nods signifying that these two who had arrived are indeed the people who had protected and saved them that day, the coldness within the Moon Goddess’s eyes had faded a little.
Yue Xuexia said, " Uncle..."
Sigh~
"Xue’er these are minions of that bastard, Xing Xieju. He is worse than that jerk ex-husband of yours! You cannot trust them!" The Thunder Emperor said.
Cough.
Cough. Cough.
"What happened to you?" Xue Shuyi asked worriedly to her husband.
"N-Nothing. The wind entered the wrong pipe," responded Tan Shengyu.
It was Tan Shengyu who choked on his own saliva when he heard his sworn bro calling his own master a jerk while the person itself was within their group and he even took a peek on his master, Shen Jueyang, to see his face remains calm as if he heard nothing is wrong. Unknown to them only Yue Xuexia whose hand was gripped by the man noticed the Immortal Sun Emperor’s reaction and couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.
Pfft~
Shen Jueyang didn’t expect to hear laughter from the lady beside him that he looked so surprised that he turned his head to look at her. If not for the fact that he can see Yue Xuexia biting her lower lips as a sign of trying to stop her laughter, he would have mistook someone from laughing at him. Seeing this he can only look helplessly like an abandoned puppy. Yue Xuexia to avoid laughing out loud can only pinch the hand holding hers making Shen Jueyang suffer instead. This interaction was so quiet that barely anyone had noticed them.
On the other hand, the Fox race was horrified. This is the first time in their life they had met someone who dared to call the Immortal Star Emperor by his name and called him a bastard. Moreover, he even calls the Immortal Sun Emperor a jerk without hesitation. However, no one had spoken up. After all, the one speaking is also an emperor realm cultivator like the two who were mentioned and he is Lord Lei Yuye himself. This person is infamous for having a poisonous tongue while being fearless.
The Thunder Emperor was still waiting for his niece’s reaction when he saw Shen Jueyang’s hand holding Yue Xuexia’s and was instantly pissed off. He immediately pulled the two hands separated and glared at the Immortal Sun Emperor.
Lei Yuye said, "Brat, why are you holding my niece’s hand?"
"Escort her so she wouldn’t fall while walking," answered Shen Jueyang.
Lei Yuye said, "Oh so that’s it?"
"That’s all," said the Immortal Sun Emperor while keeping a calm and neutral face.
The Thunder Emperor said, "Then keep doing so."
The Immortal Sun Emperor reached out a hand and held Yue Xuexia’s hand once again. The Moon Goddess didn’t react much as if the hand that was held wasn’t hers. In her mind, Shen Jueyang is a part of her family so him holding her hand is not wrong. So she didn’t care much but for the others seeing it, it seems to have a different meaning, after all, except for the chosen few who knew the current state of the Moon Goddess as a person who cannot love a partner or other half as only known to those close to her like her family and subordinates. In the eyes of the crowd and the Fox race, this man with unknown origins might be a lover of the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess glanced at the fox clan kneeling before them and said to her uncle, "These people are the ones who had saved Bingyu and Renxue before. I’ve promised to help them once for that gratitude."
"Well, since you said so. Then Sheng and I will exterminate the Du Clan for you. After we are finished, we will find you at the Fox Clan’s territory," said the Thunder Emperor.
It had already been decided that the Thunder Emperor and Tan Shengyu will handle all the remnant members of the Du Clan. While at it, they also decide on all the fairies in the Outer Haven which had connections with the Fairy Queen. That Queen of Fairies would definitely not leave that one group to ambush the Moon Goddess. There must be more hiding in this place. It better clean them all up now that leaves unknown dangers for the younger generation. The thing about Yue Zhiya must never happen again or the fear of letting the younger generation out of the house would be impossible to erase.
After the Thunder Emperor and Tan Shengyu had left.
Yue Xuexia said to the Fox Clan, "Lead the way."
Upon hearing this, the fox race was delighted. Now that the Moon Goddess had agreed to leave with them meant that she is willing to save their queen. Two luxurious carriages made of wood approached them with the Fox Prince, Hu Yushan and First Elder Yao leading them.
"Please ride the carriage. We will escort you properly to our clan’s territory," said Fox Prince Yushan.
The group split and entered the carriages. On the first carriage is Yue Xuexia. Shen Jueyang together with Tan Bingyu who stood guard inside while Xue Renxue on the top of the carriage. Inside with them is the Fox Prince Yushan and the Fox Clan’s first elder. In the other carriage are Xue Shuyi with her in-laws, Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi.

On their way to the Fox Clan’s Territory...
Inside the carriage, Yue Xuexia was composed and silent while Shen Jueyang didn’t care about the others except her. Tan Bingyu was on stand by at all times and she is on guard for anything that might happen as well as waiting for any command from her. On the opposite side of the carriage, the Fox Prince Hu Yushan was so nervous that he couldn’t hide it from his face.
Yue Xuexia who wanted to ignore it but couldn’t as Shen Jueyang almost wanted to gouge out the young man’s eyes, finally decided to speak up.
She said, "If you have something to say, I give you permission to speak now."
The Fox Prince flinched as if he didn’t expect that the Moon Goddess is this approachable. After all, they were used to the arrogance of the powerful. In the Imperial Star Empire, he had accompanied his mother when he was young. Almost everyone in the Palace of Stars never put him and his mother in their eyes. They would ignore him even if he tried to speak out. That’s why he is so nervous right now. He wanted to speak but he knew that without permission to do so it would be considered rude and he might not keep his life. However, his mother cannot wait. He wanted to know if the Moon Goddess had means to contact the Divine Doctor to save his mother.
"Y-Your Majesty, do you have any connections with the Divine Doctor? Actually, we invited her majesty because of my mother. She is... sick and I wanted to plead for her. Only the Divine Doctor might be able to save her so..." The Fox Prince, Hu Yushan, said.
Yue Xuexia seeing the legit worry and fear as well as anticipation in the young fox’s eyes was enough for her to know how important the patient is to this person. As a doctor, she might be picky with her patients but she can see through people beside the patient. If they truly wanted to save the person or not. This young fox prince had that kind of desperation in his eyes and it was a real deal.
The Moon Goddess said, "Your mother can be saved. I am the Divine Doctor of this era. There is no illness I cannot heal."
The two foxes in front of her suddenly looked at her in disbelief. No one would have expected that the legendary Divine Doctor in history was the young goddess in front of them. However, they didn’t believe it at first after all, the existence of the Divine Doctor is as rare as Tribulant cultivators in the Immortal World. This is an existence that can save people or even bring them back to life.
Fox Prince Yushan asked, "D-Divine Doctor? Really?!"
"Yes. So don’t worry. If you don’t believe me then just believe it after I save your mother. I will do my best to save her in favor of you protecting my people while I am not by their side," said the Moon Goddess.
Upon hearing this, the foxes in front of them started crying. This is the first time they had found a hope that might truly save not only their queen but their whole clan. As long as their leader doesn’t fall, their clan will remain.
