Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 700: Han Haerin’s Anxiety

Suddenly hearing the old title that he was called as before, Xiao Muen stared at the face of the man who had suddenly greeted him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t recognize this man. Seeing the expression on the Sword Master’s face, the vice leader of the vultures knew that the person didn’t recognize him. However, the man didn’t mind. After all, they are two kinds of different people. One had a backing of the clan, though that is now gone, the strength of this sword master is a real deal.

Xiao Muen said, "Forgive me. But I don’t remember you."

"The Sword Master jest. Of course, this humble one doesn’t mind. However, if the Sword master is already here, then it means that the treasure is already on you. We will retreat now if you don’t mind." The vice leader said.

The man pulled out a whistle around his neck and was about to blow on it when suddenly the leader of his group grabbed his back collar and they both jumped back. Under the surprised eyes of the vice leader, the whistle was cleanly cut to two rendering it useless.

Xiao Muen said, "Since you are here. Don’t be in a hurry to leave. The brats need to be trained and..." He slowly pulled his sword under the pair of eyes of the two in front of him. "It’s been a while since I fight, play with me for a bit~."

The two intruders in front of him looked at each other and realized that Xiao Muen is not willing to let them leave unharmed. But seeing that he had no intention to kill them, the two choose to entertain the Sword Master in front of them. Before a strong man, a person would love to exchange some moves. Though it seems that treasure is impossible to get tonight, fighting with a sword master is an opportunity these two men couldn’t get in a lifetime.

It can be said that even though one of them had a level stronger than Xiao Muen and the other in the same level, fighting against a sword master was never a battle of realm but techniques instead. The two didn’t hesitate with their saber and dagger. They use a pincer attack on Xiao Muen.

Seeing this Xiao Muen’s smile got wider and knew that these two had no intention of letting it be easy for him.

"Good! Let’s have a good fight."

While the battle of two against one at the front yard was undergoing, the one cultivator who had entered the right side was cautiously approaching the area while holding onto his weapon. As he got closer to the mansion, the mist started to scatter in a certain area where he saw a young lady seemingly waiting for his arrival.

"Please. Forgive. My. Words. I am not. Yet used to. Speaking. Your language." Han Haerin said. She was speaking the language of Huaxia country.

Since she was not originally from this country his verbal communication with this language is quite awkward. Speaking with her godmother, uncle and brother, there is no pressure as even if she changes her language to her own country’s language they will understand. But against strangers, she is still not fluent enough to have a smooth conversation.

The intruder wearing simple clothing with a half-modern, half-ancient style appeared before Han Haerin and spoke up this way. This man upon seeing the features of the young lady before him, realized that this child might be from another country.

"A foreigner?" The intruder mumbles.

All of the sudden, the man felt his sight swirling and the voice of the young lady started to echo near his ears as if she was directly talking right besides him. It gave him an eerie feeling and made him incredibly uncomfortable. It took a while for the man to notice that something had gone wrong. That is when he heard his deceased elder brother’s voice.

’Younger brother, you’ve gotten old.’

"Big brother?" The intruder calls yet sounds confused.

He started hearing a series of words that sounded so much like his elder brother. He was extremely happy as he had been missing him for so long. He lost him when the foreign cultivators had descended on this world. They were just weak cultivators who had started recently and joined a small sect. This sect had chosen a good location for cultivation.

It was so good that it got coveted by those foreign cultivators. They were so cruel to attack their sect for extermination. He was only able to survive thanks to his brother sacrificing himself to let him escape. Maybe because the man missed his brother so much that this illusion was too effective on him. In his mind he is seeing his smiling brother hugging him tightly in his embrace. When in reality, he was dazed like a puppet with tears strolling down on his face.

Seeing this, Han Haerin knew that her illusion was effective this time. Just as she was about to kill the man, she suddenly heard her godmother’s voice in her head.

{Syaorin, jugiji ma. I sarameun jinjja nappeun sarami anieyo. Geunyang butjapgo ne hyeongi derireo ol ttaekkaji gidaryeo. Hajiman geureul neomu mitjineun maseyo. Geuneun yeojeonhi natseon saram-ida.} said the Moon Goddess through her divine consciousness.

Translation: {Xiao Rin, don’t kill. This guy is not truly a bad person. Just capture him and wait for your brother to come pick you up. However, do not trust him as well. He is still a stranger.}

Han Haerin was stunned but still did what she was told to do so. After tying the man up and using something to put him into sleep, Han Haerin sat back at the chair near the mansion and tried to talk to her godmother.

She said, "Daemonim. Cheoeumbuteo urireul jikyeobogo gyesyeotdeon geongayo? Ige jinjja hunryeonin geongayo? I sarameun nappeun sarami aningayo?"

Translation: [Godmother. Were you watching us all along? Is this truly training? This man is not a bad person?]

Yue Xuexia can hear her goddaughter well even though their distance is quite far. She responded to Han Haerin through divine consciousness like the first time.

The Moon Goddess said, "Ne. Geunyang silseup hunryeonirago saenggakaseyo. Hajiman i namjadeureun jega chodaehan geosi anigo, geudeureun dangsin hyeongjeui hyeoltong gakseongeul eotteon cheonjiboui gangrimeuro jalmos saenggakhan geosimnida. Teukbyeolhan bangbeobeuro taeeonaneun jayeonui bomuldeul marijyo. Ireon jongryuui bomureun botong oraedoen paeheona jayeongiuni pungbuhan goseseo balgyeondoemnida. I san soge inneun geoscheoreomyo."

Translation: [Yes. Just treat it as a practical training. But these men were not invited by me, they had mistaken your brother’s bloodline awakening as the descent of some kind of Heaven and Earth Treasure. Natural treasures that are born through special means. These kinds of treasures are usually found at old ruins or in places with thick natural qi. Like the one in this mountain.]

It took a while for Han Haerin to understand what Natural treasures are. She is just a newbie cultivator whose cultivation was reached through resources that can be bought through money. The Han Clan is extremely wealthy after all. It was only when she had looked for her Godmother that she learned about the classifications of natural treasures, immortal herbs, artifacts, etc.

Knowing her knowledge about such things, the people in the mansion would patiently answer all her questions and explain things that she couldn’t understand.

Han Haerin asked, "Daemonim, jega han ssi gamuneul jikil su isseul mankeum ganghaejyeoseo amuegedo goerophimeul danghaji anke doel su isseulkkayo? Jega algiro daemonimeun apeuro seungcheonhasil geoyeyo. Geuttaega omyeon, jeomani gamun dwieseo daemonimui jonjaereul ieobadeul su itsseumnida. Jeoneun geuttae goerophimeul danghaji anheul mankeum ganghaejigo sipeoyo."

Translation: [Godmother, is it possible for me to be strong enough to protect the Han clan and not let anyone bully us? I know godmother will ascend in the future. When that time comes, only I can take over the godmother’s presence behind my clan. I want to become powerful enough not to be bullied at that time.]

The Moon Goddess chuckles lingers at the ears of Han Haerin making the young lady blush. Even though she is a female, the lingering voice of her godmother made her feel her allure with just the sounds of her voice.

Yue Xuexia said, "Geuge nega wonhaneun georamyeon yeolsimhi noryeokhaeya hae. Naega seungcheonhagi jeone neohui seti jeogeodo hwasin yeongyeoge dochakhagil baranda. Geokjeong ma. Junggane pogihaji anheumyeon Hanssiui josanggeubi doel su itsseumnida. Ttohan, jega eopseul ttae goerophimeul danghal geokjeongdo hal piryoga eopseumnida. Samchon gwa hyeongi neoreul gotongbatge dul georago saenggakhae?"

Translation: [If that’s what you wish then you have to work hard. Before I ascend I plan for the three of you to at least reach the Huashen realm. Don’t worry. As long as you don’t give up halfway you can become the ancestor level of your Han Clan. Also, there is no need to worry about getting bullied when I am gone. Do you think your uncle and brother will let you suffer?]

Han Haerin shook her head and the anxiety that was eating into her mind. She felt even more relief after talking to her godmother than just thinking of a solution on her own.

She said, "Gomawoyo, daemonim! Ije ihaehaesseoyo!"

Translation: [Thank you, Godmother! I understand now!]
