Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 792: Lost in Forest
Walking around the forest, Yue Xuexia who was following the path the system had provided her is now currently receiving her sign in gift as she officially entered the Immortal World. Even though it wasn’t her first time entering this world, for her vessel it was indeed the first time.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing-in in Immortal World (Outskirt). You have received Divine Affinity Max.]
[Divine Affinity, it allows one to wield divine energy of the world as its own. It can be used to summon the Divine Lightning (3/3).]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have received the Pixiu Beast Egg.]
[Pixiu is Treasure hunting divine beast. It feeds off on gold and would be able to bring you treasure every time it comes out. It can sense all kinds of natural treasures in the world. P.S. To hatch the beast eggs you must place it in a nest of gold.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have received a flying vehicle Empress’s Carriage with 12 phoenix mount beast.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have received Gold Mine in another Dimensional rip, Treasure Island.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. A protective artifact Lotus Protective Mark. It would protect the host from a Tribulant Cultivator and above three times.]
After receiving the sign in rewards, Yue Xuexia wasn’t surprised that it was composed of things she needs the most and the most practical among the rest. Seeing that even the one promised by this world’s heavenly laws were within the rewards, she had realized that these things must be something her system had solicited from the Heavenly Laws.
Yue Xuexia noticed something appeared on her forehead, some kind of tattoo, a pink lotus flower made of divine energy. It was a protective measure even she can’t control. She brought out a small mirror from her space and looked at the lotus imprint on her forehead. She can hide her Lightning crown and Moon Empress imprint but not this lotus one. It seems to be an automatic protective tool and would only activate if she was attacked by a tribulant cultivator and above.
Even though she had made her face as ordinary as possible, because of this lotus imprint, she seems to have become a noble lady hiding her identity. Yue Xuexia can only sigh as if this is something beyond her control.
She then looked at her own system and asked, "Qiuqiu, we are lost aren’t we?"
[Em~, Xue’er I truly don’t know what happened. I seem to have forgotten to ask for a copy of the map from that woman. So we are indeed lost.]
Seeing the white and black fat fish avoiding her eyes, the Moon Goddess couldn’t help but sigh. She took the fish and rubbed it vigorously as punishment. After all, it dares to make her walk for quite a long time without any goal of leaving this place. In short, they are running in circles.
[Sorry, Xue’er~]
"Not a problem. I am not in a hurry anyway. But I am tired, let’s camp here for now the sun is almost setting," the Moon Goddess said.
She set up a protective barrier around the area she is in and let the children out from her inner world including Yue Zhiya. She wanted to ask the child if maybe he can recognize the place they are in and let them help her prepare things for the camp. Yue Zhiya, Yue Huashui, Yue Huaxue, Yue Hualei and Yue Huajin had come out of the inner world and noticed that they had appeared in some kind of forest where the qi is unexpectedly pure and powerful.
Yue Huashui asked, "Mom, where are we?"
Yue Xuexia blinked her eyes innocently and answered honestly, "Hm. This should be the Immortal World. Outskirts? I don’t know. I got lost."
"Aunt, are you for real?" Yue Zhiya asked.
The Moon Goddess nodded her head and started telling the children their tasks.
"Anyway the sun is about to set. Let’s camp here for now. Let’s think of the problem tomorrow. Mommy is already too tired from walking," Yue Xuexia said.
She made some gesture and a big tent appeared near her and went inside to take a nap.
"A’Shui, please take care of the rest. Look after your siblings and don’t go beyond the barrier," Yue Xuexia said.
Yue Huashui smiled and said, "Leave it to me, Mom. Just rest well."
The children knew that ever since their master had been injured, she got even lazier and sleepier. Though this seems to be a way to cope up the pain from the soul, they had never seen the Moon Goddess complain about the pain. Yue Zhiya also heard about her aunt’s injuries yet despite her injuries she seems to be still powerful and couldn’t see through her cultivation.
Yue Zhiya grabbed her brother’s robes and said, "Gege, how did aunt get her injuries? Is it that bad? I know a way to get treasures to cure wounds."
Yue Huashui pats his head and says, "Don’t worry. Mom’s injury is in her soul. Ordinary treasures can cure her."
"That’s right, Zhiya, mama’s injuries can be healed but it would take time. Don’t worry too much," said Yue Huaxue.
Yue Hualei snorted and said, "Hmp! Mom doesn’t need us to worry about her. She is powerful enough to not care of such injury. Worrying too much with your little head, don’t become stupid. Mom is alright and it’s not your fault anyway."
"Alright let’s make some fire and prepare the ingredients for dinner. Mom can cook after she takes a nap. We can play while waiting for her to wake up," Yue Huashui said.
Suddenly, they noticed Yue Huajin crawling around and was even about to crawl out of the barrier. It seems the little baby is sensing something outside attracting its attention but he was picked up by his sister.
Yue Hualei isn’t that grumpy towards this youngest brother of theirs and carried him despite being covered in dust.
She said, "Xiao Jin, mom said not to run around. Don’t go beyond this translucent barrier or you will be eaten alive outside. They chomp chomp on you."
"Chomp. Chomp? Boohoo~ No, Xiao Jin don’t whant to be chomp chomp," said Yue Huajin. "Lei-Jiejie, out-out something looky looky~."
The moment Yue Hualei heard this, her face turned serious. She extends her hand and under her control, a light purple lightning comes out of her hand and lightning shoots outside the barrier in a straight line. A row of trees were burned to ashes by her lightning yet nothing but a few low tier beasts were killed by her.
This Lotus of Purple Lightning had always been straight forward. Since the little one says that something is staring at them meant he had truly seen someone or something out there watching over them. That’s why she attacked without hesitation trying to catch whoever that was off guard but it seems to have escaped from her attack. These actions startled her other siblings and immediately stopped what they were doing and went to check on her.
"Lei’er, what happened?" Yue Huashui asked.
Yue Hualei said, "Xiao Jin said he felt something calling him outside the barrier and I attacked to either kill or make them go away."
"Don’t go out of the barrier. I will go check," Yue Huashui said.
As the Moon Goddess instructed them, Yue Huashui only stood at the boundary of the barrier and controlled all the water in the air trying to sense everything within a hundred meters. He had indeed found a presence and controlled the water vapor to turn to ice and attack this presence. Only when it was out of range that Yue Huashui stopped controlling the water and a few snow fell from the sky to the ground.
Yue Huaxue asked, "Gege, how was it? Do you want my help?"
"Xue’er created an ice wall a hundred meters away. A towering wall to enclose this area. I will also create a mist barrier as double insurance. There is indeed a presence but it escaped," Yue Huashui said.
Yue Huaxue nods her head and stretches out both her hands and ice walls appear a hundred meters away from them encircling the area they are in as a center while Yue Huashui uses water to create artificial mist to hide this whole area.
"For now this should do. We can tell mom about this when she wakes up. For now, absolutely do not come out of the barrier. Even if you feel someone is calling for you outside? Even if you feel they are familiar to you? Do not come out. Do you guys understand?"
"Yes. Gege!" The other children said.
Yue Huashui pushed his siblings lightly towards the center of the barrier and continued their tasks. But he looked behind him with narrowed eyes but turned his head as if he saw nothing.
Meanwhile beyond the ice wall, an old man with a half burned beard and half covered in frost sitting on the top of a cow was watching the children from above the walls.
"Not bad~. Sentient lotus flowers and the little prince of the Yue Clan together with a young lady whose cultivation I cannot see through. Is she hiding her cultivation before her soul injury? Hm? I heard some treasure at the center of this forest with the ability to heal souls. Should I grab a few?"
The old man patted his cow and said, "Niuniu, let’s go get some presents for the children in exchange for dinner." As a powerful wind blows the figure of the bull and the old man suddenly disappeared.
