Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 676: Si Lengya’s Regrets
The cold voice of the Goddess of the Moon resounds in the living room of Si Lengya and Xu Xiali’s home. It is obvious that the Moon Goddess didn’t like this woman. She is already pregnant but is still playing something akin to poison. This is something unforgivable in the eyes of Yue Xuexia. After all, an unborn child is the most innocent.
Yue Xuexia after restraining Xu Xiali, she used acupuncture to protect the baby. There are some Gu that lives in one’s body and she is afraid it would affect the innocent little one. Though she had no bloodline connection to the child, she rarely kills children. Though she does uproots the family, she also makes sure to spare only children below five years. They were sent to the orphanage with all of their previous family’s memories erased.
At the very least, that’s what the system does.
Yue Xuexia looked at Si Lengya and said, "Go ask a woman you are close with who is willing to help you. Or someone desperate for something and is willing to do anything."
"What do you want to do?" Si Lengya asked.
Yue Xuexia responds, "If you wish to save your child, do as I told you so."
Si Lengya frowned and looked at his wife, Xu Xiali then finally sighed. He stood up to look for his phone. He had contacted people and three arrived. One is a widow and is a cousin of Si Lengya. The other two one is a servant from their clan and need lots of money and the last one is just a tagalong. She is an adopted sister of Si Lengya and this is a woman with a familiar face.
When the three women arrived in the house of Si Lengya, they were surprised to see Madam Si all tied up with something blocking his mouth. She was looking for them as if asking them to help her.
"Sister-in-law? What happened to you?" The adopter sister, Si Yuri asked as she was about to help her out.
Yue Xuexia says, "If you want to be inflicted with a Gu worm feel free to touch her."
"Gu worms? Oh my god! Is this true, brother?" Si Yuri asked in surprise. "Wait, a Gu? Brother, did she use it on you?"
She then looked at the speaker who had given her a warning about thanking her. But she was surprised to see the face of Yue Xuexia, though it was different from how she remembers her, Si Yuri will never forget about her. The only woman her brother fell in love with seriously and also the woman who was hurt by him as well.
"Miss Yue?!" Si Yuri called.
Yue Xuexia remained calm and responded, "Do I know you?"
"No. No... You don’t. But you have met me before. I am the woman who played the role of brother’s girlfriend and forced a break up with you when you’re in college. Opps! But that is the only way brother can protect you at that time, after all father wanted to make a bad move to harm you."
"Your family used to be poor, that’s why father wants to force you to break up with brother. Brother didn’t want father to harm you and can only use me to break up with you. Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it. I just want to help my brother."
"Brother, are you two together again?" Si Yuri asked with excitement.
Yue Xuexia was the first one to deny it.
She said, "No. I am here to thank him for saving my relatives while I am not around. I am here to repay him. To remove the Love Gu in him and save his child from this woman."
"Are they the woman you had chosen to give birth to your child? Choose one among them. I will remove the child from that wife of yours and place it in them and let them give birth to your child. If I don’t remove your child from your wife’s belly, they will be refined as a child and it will not be your child anymore."
The two women who came with Su Yuri were terrified. They didn’t expect that the reason they were chosen was because they were asked to carry the child in their womb. Moreover, it was the child of the madam. Is such a surreal thing truly possible?
The two servants showed greed when they heard it was giving birth to the child of the young master. Wouldn’t that mean the child will be half of their child as well?
"Young master, I will do it!"
"I’m willing to do it as well!"
Upon seeing this reaction, Yue Xuexia couldn’t help but snort as if she could read through the hidden thoughts of these two servants.
She added, "The new mother will have no blood connection to the child as your womb will only be used as a temporary thing for the child to grow. When it comes out it only has the original mother and father’s bloodline. Well, I can only have my father’s bloodline."
"Can you truly do such a thing!?" Su Yuri asked. "Will it be painful?"
"No. It will not be a painful birth. It is painless as if removing the heavy burden you carried for months. You are actually the most suitable one to be the temporary mother. If you don’t have a husband, you can help your brother bear his child." Yue Xuexia said.
Si Yuri asked, "Can’t you do it?"
"I won’t. Moreover, I am too powerful and such a fragile soul will die if I place it in me." The Moon Goddess said and looked at Si Yuri, "What is your decision? Do you wish to help your brother?"
"..." Si Yuri was hesitant for a long time. But this is her first niece or nephew, she didn’t want to lose it. Finally, she made a decision and said, "Okay. I will do it."
Yue Xuexia truly didn’t expect this decision from Si Yuri and was speechless for a moment. Su Yuri, as if she can feel the reason for the Moon Goddess’s silence, explained why she is willing to do it.
Su Yuri says, "The reason I want to help Si-gege isn’t because I like him as a man or something like that. But because I owe his family so much, I am a daughter of my foster father’s friend and was adopted by the Si family after the death of my parents. I owe them that much, that’s why I also helped my brother at that time when he wanted to push you away."
"I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do that. But my brother says this is the only way he can protect you. I didn’t expect... Moreover, this is my first niece or nephew, I don’t want it to be gone. So I will do it."
Yue Xuexia stares at her as if seeing something through her, making Si Yuri nervous. Then she smiled lightly and said,
"Brave enough. But too timid at heart. Very well, I will listen to your wishes."
The Moon Goddess made a move, with the help of the system’s authority to the world, the life and death book of Exiled Star appeared before Yue Xuexia. She found the unborn child’s existence recorded in it and took it away from the record. She looked for Si Yuri’s records and placed the name of the unborn child under her. With that the life of the unborn child had changed. He disappeared from Xu Xiali’s womb and reappeared in Si Yuri’s womb.
Cultivators are the most sensitive when it comes to the life aura of those who were weak. The unborn child is a bit weak and once it appeared in Si Yuri’s body, everyone was shocked, especially Si Lengya. Such a divine event, it was easily done by the woman he loves the most. It was only at this moment that he understood the large gap between him and Yue Xuexia. It is simply the distance of heaven and earth. One can see it but will never ever reach it.
Yue Xuexia ignored the uneasiness in Si Lengya’s heart while Si Yuri noticed it. She wanted to comfort her brother but she knew her words were useless. She can only quietly look at these two who used to be a loving couple from that distant past. She made a move to remove the Love Gu in Si Lengya’s body and turned Xu Xiali into ashes.
Well, this ending is fitting for a villain like her. She killed too many and caused many of the people connected to the Moon Goddess to suffer. There is no way the Goddess of the Moon would forgive her. After everything was resolved, Yue Xuexia left some pills and artifacts as compensation and prepared to leave.
Yue Xuexia said, "It’s time for me to leave."
Just as she was about to leave, Si Lengya stopped her for the last time.
"Xia’er, please wait." Si Lengya called.
The silence between them was suffocating that it even made the other in the area nervous. After all, this is a very powerful woman who can turn a living human into ashes with a wave of her hands.
"Is it not possible for us anymore?" Si Lengya asked.
Yue Xuexia answers, "No. Not only are you no longer worthy of me but also... I am a woman who sold her heart to the heavens for power. I cannot love someone who is supposed to become my other half. Just live your life properly this time."
The Moon Goddess disappeared on the spot as she teleported. What she left behind is the dumbfounded faces of those who heard her words. Among them only one person had shed his tears. Because he knew that this was truly the last time he would be able to see the woman who used to love him the most as if he was her everything.
Si Lengya couldn’t help but blame his useless past self. Maybe if wasn’t terrified of his father, or his unknown future, or if he didn’t break up with Yue Xuexia at that time. This wouldn’t have been their ending. He regrets it too much. Unfortunately there isn’t a medicine for regrets.

Right now, the most important thing is cultivation. Desk work and company hiring were limited now and they focused more on cultivation, pill refinement, armament making such things that involved cultivation all over the place. Some companies had changed into sects and clans. Slowly the modern civilization was being replaced or merged with their everyday life and a new era had begun.
After everything about her companies were handled and returned to their respective CEOs, Yue Xuexia had visited all her relatives informing them about the current situation of the Yue Family as well as her grandparents. After learning that they had already ascended in the world beyond, they can only accept that the Yue family is the same as their family. They are destined to fly through the heavens like gods
Yue Xuexia stayed at her plateau teaching Ru Yunlan everything that he must know about handling the company and cultivation. Xiao Muen’s injuries had healed to perfection and with the Moon Goddess’s guidance he was able to increase his cultivation more. In just a few years, he had reached the Huashen Realm. Well, Yue Xuexia had poured a lot of resources for him to reach such a realm and he underwent a lot of refinement, marrow cleansing and mutating his spiritual roots.
As the Moon Goddess heard from Xiao Muen before, he chose not to ascend with her and instead chose to stay here to wait for his wife’s reincarnation. Yue Xuexia promised him that as long as his wife entered adulthood, her previous life’s memories would be given to him. It would be his choice whether to give it to her or not.
The reason why Yue Xuexia gave him the authority over the previous memories of his wife is simple. First, even she didn’t know how that lady’s life would unfold after her reincarnation. Second, she wanted Xiao Muen to make a choice for himself. Whether to love her all over again or just continue the tragic love that unfolds before them in the past. She wanted him to be happy so she gave him the ability to choose which he truly wanted.
