Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 280: Snake God Joins the Team

The group waited for the Crown Prince’s group to finish absorbing the energy in the food they ate while waiting for a helicopter that seemed to be in stealth to come over to their location. On it was a man with long, curly white hair and golden vertical irises.

He stood at the door of the helicopter and looked down. This is the human avatar of the Snake God. In this form, only half of his original abilities can be used, and he is barely a Yuanying Realm cultivator (Nascent Soul).

The Snake God removed his sunglasses and looked down at a certain area. His vertical iris narrowed a bit.

He commanded, "Wajadtuhi. adhhab wanzil ’iilaa qimat alkuthban alramliati. Wahum bialtaakid fi hadha aliaitijahi."

Translation: [Found it. Go and descend to that sand dune’s peak. They are definitely in that direction.]

The pilot and Lord Junna’s father, Yunas, looked in the direction where the Snake God had pointed and looked confused.

The pilot asked, "Sayidi alkarim, hadha alkuthban alramliatu. La ’astatie alhubut hunaka. Sawf nastadim bialtaakidi."

Translation: [Noble Lord, that is a sand dune. I can’t land there. We will definitely crash.]

The father of Lord Junna, Noble Lord Yunas, only stared at the dune for a moment and looked at the smiling Snake God who spoke no words yet looking so confident.

Noble Lord Yunas sighed and commanded, "Sadaq Allah al’afeaa. Al Nuzul ealaa qimat alkuthban alramliati. Fakar fi aleaqd aladhi waqaeathu."

Translation: [Believe in the Snake God. Descend on the peak of the sand dune. Think of the contract you have signed.]

The pilot was asked to sign a life-and-death contract with a secrecy oath. This is in exchange for the riches, he could never gather in this life. In the end, the pilot just grits his teeth and follows the orders.

"Yurjaa altamasuk bishay’ ma. Sawf ’anzal alan!" said the pilot.

Translation: [Please hold on to something. I will descend now!]

The Snake God can feel the fear of the pilot mixing with his determination to land safely. Regardless of the order he got, he wishes to do his job and at least safely land the helicopter at the peak of the pointed sand dune.

All of a sudden, the Snake God’s voice resounds, "La tusadiq ma yumkin ’an tarah eaynaki. Ashear bialriyah wamn binafsika."

Translation: [Don’t believe what your eyes can see. Feel the wind and believe in yourself.]

The pilot, who was about to close his eyes to avoid the sight of his impending death, suddenly opened it. He feels the wind and notices that the breeze isn’t impeded by the sand dunes blowing right to them. Moreover, the sand dunes weren’t even affected by the wind.

It was at this moment that the pilot believed that the scene before him was merely an illusion, and he listened closely through the sound breeze and heard a voice telling him to stop twirling and descend properly.

The pilot did as he heard and controlled the helicopter, not going against the wind and slowly descending. Only when the machine landed on something solid did he look outside. The sand dunes and powerful breeze had disappeared. Instead, there is a peaceful scene of two large tents and a huge bonfire with people surrounding it and a few of them meditating with their eyes closed.

The pilot was stunned and felt that this scene was another illusion until he felt a hand patting his shoulder.

The Snake God said, "Ahsanti! mabruk ealaa aliastiqazu. Ladayk jidhr wahid lilriyahi. Mawhibat jayidat lilziraeati."

Translation: [Good Job! Congratulations on awakening. You have a single root of wind. A good talent for cultivation.]

Before the pilot could react, the Snake God had longed to get off the helicopter and greyed Yue Xuexia as his goddess before talking to his little saint. As for Noble Lord Yunas, he shook his hand in congratulations.

Lord Yunas said, "Ana muta’akid min ’anak qad takun fi hayrat min ’amraka. Wamae dhalika, kama yanusu aleaqdi, yurjaa alaihtifaz bikuli ma tarah sran. Sayatimu sharh kuli shay’ lak eindama naeud ’iilaa almadinati."

Translation: [I am sure that you might be confused. However, as the contract says please keep everything you will see, a secret. Everything will be explained to you when we get back to the city.]

It was decided that Knight Captain Meraka would return to the palace to report while Lord Yunas would take his place in protecting the Crown Prince. After all, compared to this noble lord, the former is more powerful.

The helicopter once again flew, this time with only the Knight Captain Meraka on it. They flew back to the city to report to the king. Of course, Lord Yunas informed the knight about the talents of the pilot and asked if they could hire him as the royal family’s soldier.

After all, the existence of cultivation in the sand country was currently exclusive to the royal family and noble families allied to the crown as well as their royal knights.

Cultivation will remain secret for ten years only, and then the royal family will share this knowledge with their citizens as promised by the Snake God. This is to keep the power and authority of the royal family the highest in the country even after cultivation becomes widespread.

Upon the arrival of the Snake God, he kneeled before Yue Xuexia and swore as if he were a believer in God. It was just the one being revered as a god, Yue Xuexia was stunned. She was looking at him with an expression of disbelief and bewilderment on her face.

Yue Xuexia asked, "What are you doing?"

{Showing the greatest greeting to you, my goddess!} The Snake God answered.

Yue Xuexia said, "I am not your goddess."

{Yes, yes. This servant only wishes to greet the goddess by my own will, nothing else.} The hard-headed Snake God responded with a smile.

Yue Xuexia gave up and ignored the Snake God’s antics. The Snake God takes this as his goddess acceptance. On the sidelines, the other can only watch this scene with no comment. Taiyang, Tan Bingyu, and Shen Jueyang, who know that Yue Xuexia is the incarnation of the Moon Goddess, didn’t react much and just accepted the scene. As for the Crown Prince and the nobles, they choose to turn a blind eye to the circumstances of the Snake God. They only need to pretend not to see anything, and things will be alright.

It’s just that the silly crown prince asked curiously, "Ya sayidu, hal ’ukhti haqqa ’iilahataka?"

Translation: [Master, is my sister truly your goddess?]

The Snake God stood up and said, {Yes, and that is something you will only understand once you reach Jindan Stage (Golden Core) and your physique leveled up to a certain stage.}

Then he looked around and commented, {Alright. Those are the Giant Race indeed. However, the strongest among them is only at Yuanying Realm, and it’s injured.}

Shen Jueyang said, "Kan yuqatil tinin al’ard min nafs almajali. Waraghm ’anah hazamaha, ’iilaa ’anaha ’usibat."

Translation: [It was fighting an Earth Dragon of the same realm this morning. Even though he defeated it, he was injured.]

The Snake God said, {Even though the strongest is only at Yuanying Realm, there is something powerful buried below. It’s not alive though. The heart of the desert is underneath as well}

Tan Bingyu said, "Lidha, lays ladayna khiar akhar siwaa ’an natlub dhalik min alea maliqati."

Translation: [So, we have no other choice but to ask the giants for it.]

Taiyang commented, "La yumkin una ’an nakhudhaha baeida?"

Translation: [Can’t we just take it away?]

Shen Jueyang’s current expression says the same thing. These two men who had taken what they wanted by force and put down any race under their feet through power alone were no different from those giants they felt contempt for.

Yue Xuexia said, "If you dare steal anything without telling me first, I will never bring you with me the next time we go on a mission. Also, I will not cook anything for you to eat!"

This threat was extremely useful for gluttons like Taiyang and Shen Jueyang. These two men instantly promise not to steal without telling Yue Xuexia first.

Taiyang said, "I promise to tell you about it before taking it away."

"I will only take what you want me to take," said Shen Jueyang.

Not far from them another earth dragon that looks like a huge lizard was being roasted, not too far from them. This is their greeting gift for the Giant Race. Of course, this big guy was caught by Taiyang who was on night duty at the time, is most likely the brother of the Earth dragon that the Yuanying Realm Giant had killed this morning.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, the greeting gift is done."

Yue Xuexia nodded her head and said, "Okay. Then let’s go and knock on their door."

Shen Jueyang had removed the barrier around the area they chose to rest. The tents and other things were packed up. The moment the barrier was removed, the wake giants noticed their presence.

Under the dormant quicksand not far from them, the giants, who were at least in the Golden Core realm, noticed the presence of the cultivators above ground. They feel the Qi Refinement aura of the crown prince, Lord Junna, and Lord Junna’s father.

As well as the Golden Core realm of Tan Bingyu and the Nascent Soul realm of the Snake God and Yue Xuexia. As for Taiyang and Shen Jueyang, their realm is more powerful than one can hardly perceive their realms.

The injured giant opened his eyes and said to his subordinates, "Two Yuanying cultivators, one golden core, and the rest are Qi Refinement Cultivators."

"Chief, should we attack?" A giant asked.

The Yuanying Realm Giant said, "No. Ask them what they want. Don’t anger them. Among their group, the two unknowns made me uncomfortable and the two Yuanying Realm cultivators did not seem simple at all. Both had the scent of the moon in them."

"Treat them like friends. However, be on guard."

"Yes, Chief!" The giants said.
