Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 256: Snake God’s Nest

After Taiyang took Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu as well as the unconscious white rattlesnake away from these two, he sighs in relief. He was now carrying Yue Xuexis who Tan Bingyu had wrapped with a blanket. They didn’t go far and just stayed at the hall where Yue Xuexia first fell.

With the snake god with them those mutated rattlesnakes didn’t dare to come out. They stayed in one corner and calmly waited for Shen Jueyang to return.

Tan Bingyu asked, "Is she the Moon Goddess?"

"Hm. We also didn’t expect to see her soul fragment in this place," said Taiyang.

Tan Bingyu said, "For some reason... that goddess felt so similar to the mistress."

"That’s because she had passed her legacy to Xue’er. Her aura is now the same as the Moon Goddess and it’s an aura that can only be used by those from the Yue Royal Clan. Before, what Xue’er used was the lowest level of moon energy. With the legacy of the Moon Goddess, her domain’s strength will increase multifold," explained Taiyang.

Tan Bingyu’s thoughts, ’But I don’t think that was all.’

Taiyang suddenly said, "Someone is coming."

While they are waiting for Shen Jueyang to return, another group has finally reached the area they are in. This group was led by an uncle with a stern face and the aura of an experienced warrior. This person is the royal knight’s captain, Meraka. He was sent here to protect the crown prince who wanted to enter the buried palace.

Royal Knights Captain Meraka said, "Ya sahib alsumu, ’asheur biwujudil fi hadha alaitijahi. Yabdu ’anak kunt taqul alhaqiqat eindama dakhal eadad qalil min alnaas hadha alqasr alqadima."

Translation: [You highness, I feel presence towards this direction. It seems you were telling the truth that a few people had entered this ancient palace.]

Crown Prince Rasheed said, "Ya kabtin, min fadlik la tuhawil muhajamatan ’aw ’asr ’ayin minhuma. ’innahum ’aqvia’ bishakl la yusdiq. ’akhshaa ’an yakunuu ’aqwaa min mukhlis biladina."

Translation: [Captain, please don’t try to attack or capture any of them. They are monstrously powerful. I’m afraid they might be stronger than our country’s messiah.]

Captain Meraka responded, "’Afham dhalik ya sahib alsumu. laqad ’akhbarani jalalatuk aydan binafs alshay’a. Baed kuli shay’in, nahn natahadath ean almajmueat alati taquduha ’iimbiraturat hawashia."

Translation: [I understand, Your Highness. Your Majesty had also told me the same thing. After all, we are talking about the group led by the Empress of Huaxia.]

All of the sudden, Captain Merak halted his footstep and held the weapon. He is using a spear as his main weapon. One with weight twice of his body weight. Which is why despite being a mortal, this royal knight’s captain possessed physical strength beyond average humans.

Just as Royal Captain Meraka held his spear, Tan Bingyu appeared before their group. She spoke English to converse with the crown prince who is the man with the highest position among the group.

Tan Bingyu said, "We meet again, your highness. We know that this palace is something important to you. However, it might be impossible to secure ownership of this ancient palace."

"Is the empress interested in this palace as well? Our Kingdom is willing to pay as much as you wanted. Please give up the ownership to us," said Crown Prince Rasheed.

Lord Junna said, "If money is not enough, our country also possesses treasures. We can let you pick among the treasures of our country. This palace is simply too important for our country."

"You got it wrong. My mistress is not interested in this palace. I am only giving you a warning because we found out that this ancient palace already has an owner. If you want to buy it, I suggest that you speak to him. However, he is not human. I hope you will not be afraid," Tan Bingyu explained.

Crown Prince Rasheed, Lord Junna, Royal Knight’s Captain Meraka as well as the rest of the royal knights were stunned to learn that this buried ancient palace not only has an owner, but also this owner is something that is not human. They only understood what the princess of the Hidden Tan Clan meant by not being human when they met the owner.

hiss~

Crown Prince Rasheed and the rest of the mortals were shocked as they met the owner of the ancient palace. It was a huge white rattlesnake and meeting its golden vertical irises they were frozen stiff in fear. Moreover, what is surprising is that this monster can even speak human.

{Humans, I heard you wanted to buy this God’s nest. What a gall!} said the snake god.

Shaa~

Taiyang suddenly spoke up and said, "If you dare wake Xue’er up, I’m going to roast you alive."

It was under this threat that the snake god retreats his aura which he used to overwhelm the mortals that wanted to buy his house. It can be said that as a Snake God whose cultivation strength had reached God Transformation realm thanks to the Moon Goddess, that his divinity is quite pure and he himself possessed the blessing of the moon.

To the Snake God, Yue Xuexia is as important as the Moon Goddess.

{I apologize for the disturbance, Lord Taiyang. I will be careful.} The Snake God said and whisk his tail to put a sound isolation barrier around Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang sighed, "If your physique doesn’t involve being around the sand all day we could have brought you away. I have a small world, but since it wasn’t Xue’er’s you don’t want to come it don’t you."

{Of course, I am very picky about where to live. If I got used to living in Lord Taiyang’s small world, it would be hard for me to leave if the Goddess got her small world. I can wait until she opens hers and stay here in the desert for a while.} The white rattlesnake said.

Tan Bingyu said, "But as a God don’t you need offerings? I heard how you gain faith and get stronger after becoming a God."

{I am a snake god born from the blessing of the Moon Goddess. I can bathe under the moonlight to get stronger. Because of this I don’t need to eat much and only need to come out at night for a moon-bathing. I’m sleeping in the morning though.}

{Also, receiving fate while my place is located in the desert seems a bit impossible. Though I cultivate slowly due to lack of faith, the Moon Goddess said that I might be able to break through to the Mahayana Realm in a few hundred years.}

{It was because I forgot to plug the hole I used to come out of when the Goddess fell into this palace. That was an accident.} The Snake God said. {I usually used it as a trap for those humans who came here looking for a miracle when in reality, they just wanted to enter my house.}

The entourage of the crown prince was listening to the conversation of the human and a snake. They were so speechless that they didn’t know when to butt in and involve themselves in their conversation. However, thanks to listening to this, the Crown Prince had an idea to convince the Snake God to allow them to enter this place to gather information about their country’s history.

Crown Prince Rasheed said, "Snake God, how about we build you a temple? Forget about us buying your nest. This is indeed your home and we can’t kick you that is beyond us after all. Of course, we will help you gather some believers. How about this?"

{What do you want in exchange?} asked the Snake God.

The crown prince said, "Please allow a few of us to enter this place and gather information and proof about the forgotten history of our country. The history buried in time was something important to us. We will not go to places you don’t want to enter. I hope you agreed to this request."

{You can only visit in the evening. In the morning, if I accidentally wake up my temper isn’t good and I might end up killing you.} The Snake God said.

Only the crown prince was smiling while Lord Junna and the rest shivered just thinking how an enraged and bad-tempered snake god will act once accidentally awakened. They might get eaten alive if that happens.

Lord Junna said, "We promise to only go in the evening!"

"I will make sure to prevent anyone from coming in here in the morning!" Captain Meraka declared.

It can be seen just based on the size of the Snake God that he is very powerful. The fact that he was born in the desert meant his affinity with Sand elements is also great. Adding the fact that he is a divine being, fighting against someone like this is no different from seeking death. Offending him or making him angry is also not an option. That is like asking a God’s Wrath to fall on to them.

The Snake God said, {Also you cannot enter the center of the palace, that’s where my nest is. You are also forbidden from entering my treasure room. If even one gold bar is missing, I will eat you.}

Taiyang commented, "The obsession of gold and glittery things. As expected to one who has the bloodline of a dragon. Unfortunately, it seems that you don’t like this bloodline of yours and even asked the Moon Goddess to seal it for you. Is there a reason for you to hate dragons?"

The Snake God hesitated before answering, {My clan had been exterminated by a dragon clan.}
