Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 712: Desert Area

Shooting out from the vast desert, this monstrous, huge sand worm suddenly appeared before Yue Xuexia’s group. Though the Moon Goddess and her subordinates didn’t make a move, the other three did it. The moment it appeared, Xiao Muen and Ru Yunlan instinctively protected Han Haerin who was the weakest among them. With the eldest pulling out his sword with an intention to cut off the sand worm. However, with how close the cultivation was between Xiao Muen and the huge sand worm monster, his slash barely left a scratch.

Frowning as he saw his sword slash barely but the skin of this monster worm.

Xiao Muen murmured, "Such a thick skin!"

It wasn’t only Xiao Muen who had observed this. Ru Yunlan and Han Haerin who were watching the whole time felt the thickness of the monster’s skin seeing that the sword slash of their uncle couldn’t cut through it.

Han Haerin thought of something and said, "Brother, try using qi to attack."

Ru Yunlan heard Han Haerin’s voice and felt that this might work. Even if they didn’t then at least they’ve tried. That’s why Ru Yunlan covered his right fist with his qi and it just happened that he added his other element aside from death qi which is fire. Something he had gained through the recent new fist technique his godmother had given him. If he doesn’t want to use a sword, using his fist to fight is also possible.

Black flames cover his fist and punch towards the huge worm which is fighting with his Uncle Xiao, taking it by surprise. The worm noticed it at the last moment and dodge. It failed to completely dodge the punch and a part of its flesh was gouged out.

Shrieks~

Crying out in pain, the movements of the huge sand worm monster had flutters, with this opportunity, Xiao Muen and Ru Yunlan took a shot. One made a barrage of punches while the other covered his swords with sword qi and made a few slashes to cut the monster into pieces. A Mid Yuanying realm Sand worm monster was easily killed by this uncle and nephew duo. Han Haerin helped check on them for injuries.

Xue Renxue whispered to his dao companion, Tan Bingyu, "These three are not bad. They should be alright against most monsters here."

"Um..." Tan Bingyu is staring at Ru Yunlan with a slight frown on her face.

Her lover noticed her staring at the young man and asked with a bit of confusion on his face.

"Is there something strange about the boy?" Xue Renxue asked.

Tan Bingyu watched for a bit more and finally shook her head.

She said, "Nothing. I just feel that the black flames he had just used were too dangerous. But since the mistress is not saying a thing means that it isn’t something to worry about."

"Right. With the mistress here, if that power is truly dangerous she would have taught the boy how to control it properly. We shouldn’t worry too much. They had their own fates just like ours." Xue Renxue said as he wrapped his hand around his wife’s shoulder.

The clone of Yue Xuexia continues to watch everything without much reaction. She was told to act natural and do as she wished. With most of her thoughts connected to the original, she also sees these people as important. That’s why she had kept her consciousness spread all over the ruin observing everything.

After the sand worm was defeated, Xiao Muen who was flying saw a part of the green area a few hundreds meters away from them. The only reason he saw it was because he was looking from a certain height that allows him to see further. Once he landed, he immediately told everyone what he had seen.

Xiao Muen said, "I found a place with greens. Let’s move in that direction. That might be better than staying in the desert."

"Is it far, Uncle Xiao?" Han Haerin asked.

Xiao Muen answers, "A bit. It would be faster if we fly. Let’s go."

With him in the lead, everyone flew to the sky and headed towards the direction where Xiao Muen found the green covered lands. As they flew around, they also saw the forest area which Xiao Muen had found from a distance. Their group was attacked on the way by more sand worms which was eliminated by Xiao Muen and Ru Yunlan. Han Haerin was also able to defeat one of them on her own.

Upon leaving the desert area, they found a tropical rainforest. However, this place seems to be a lot more dangerous than the desert. The atmosphere in this area is too eerie and the scent of the air seems to be poisonous.

Han Haerin was the first to react about the poison.

She said, "Be careful! There is a powerful scent of poison in this forest."

"Poison? Does this mean this mist coming over right now is made of poison?" Ru Yunlan said as he used his punch to scatter away the approaching poison.

Beside him Han Haerin was looking through her inventory. As she learns medicine from her godmother, all necessary skills are attached to it like acupuncture, pill refinement, etc. Were taught to her by the moon goddess as a necessary skill. At this point, she can be said to be the successor of the divine doctor.

Han Haerin pulled something from her storage bracelet and let everyone eat the pill.

She said, "Please take this antidote pill. It should last for six hours at least."

The young lady was a bit reluctant to give some pills to the seniors like Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and her godmother, Yue Xuexia. Thinking that they might not need them at all. Would poison even affect Huashen realm cultivators like the seniors. Moreover, her godmother is a true goddess.

Upon seeing the hesitation from Han Haerin’s face, Yue Xuexia stretched a hand and took a pill. After observing it for a while she ate it without hesitation and only gave a comment.

Yue Xuexia said, "You’ve reached the minimum threshold. It’s time for you to find your own natal flame."

With a wave of her hand, she gave her a container that can capture any kind of natal flame. Before refining it, it’s better to catch it first and so, the Moon Goddess gave her a tool which can catch and imprison a natal flame. After all, most special flames cannot be easily caught by someone.

The Moon Goddess said, "When you find a natal flame that attracts you, you can use this tool to catch it."

"Thank you, Godmother!" Han Haerin said.

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue also took a pill from her and ate it on the spot. Only when they ate the pill did they venture inside the forest looking for another path or any treasures. The one in lead is still Xiao Muen. On the way except from the thick poison mist nothing much had appeared before them. It was only when they reached the center of the rainforest that they were welcomed by some kind of huge flower treehouse.

The flower treehouse looked like a small mansion in the forest yet there is no presence in this area as if no one owns this house that appeared before them.

Han Haerin said, "Wow, what a gorgeous treehouse! Can we go inside?"

Xiao Muen and Ru Yunlan turned serious as they tried to find some presence in the area. They were a bit confused when they found no one alive within this area. On the other hand, Huashen realm cultivators had perceived a different energy coming in this place.

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue looked at the Moon Goddess as if they wanted to speak up. Only to see Yue Xuexia slightly shake her head and look at the three people in front of them. Clearly, she is waiting for the three to finish investigating and once they find no answers. They can only inquire for help from them. As if understanding what their mistress wanted to do, the couple decided not to point out things and waited for the young ones to question them instead. Allowing the three to first try to find an answer on their own.

Xiao Muen said, "Let’s investigate it first. There is no way something like this would appear here without a reason. Just the fact that no one else seems to be staying in this place gave me a restless feeling."

"Restless? But Uncle Xiao, do I feel extremely comfortable in this place? Is there something wrong with me?" Han Haerin asked.

Ru Yunlan felt worried for his fiance, just as he was about to ask Han Haerin about more details, the voice of the Death God’s soul fragment resounded in his head again.

{It’s not a surprise that this little girl will feel this place as something comfortable. This is a small temple of a Flower Goddess. There is a legacy here that is compatible with her. On the other hand, you cannot enter. Once the divinity inside senses the death qi in you, it will try its best to eliminate you. Do not enter.}

Once Ru Yunlan heard what the voice in his mind had said, he looked at Han Haerin worriedly. He didn’t know if he would tell them what he knew. But the possibility of the soul fragment inside of him will be exposed and he didn’t know how his godmother and the two seniors would react.

Han Haerin noticed the strange reaction of her beloved and asked, "Are you alright, Brother Ru?"
