Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 796: Old Man’s Gift
After the Moon Goddess had left, those who were nervous the whole time before her presence had sighed in relief. As for Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, they had temporarily deactivated their blessing. Now that this blessing can be used in the morning, they do not need to worry for their safety until they find their parents. Moreover, the ruins mentioned by their Mistress must be that one where they fell nearby.
Except for the Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, the others were under the pressure of Yue Xuexia’s aura. So as soon as she left, they collectively gasped for breath as they could hardly do so before. The aura of the Moon Goddess is overwhelming that even the strongest among them was affected. Only Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were unharmed as the Moon Goddess intentionally did not let her aura harm them.
The young couple waited for the group to regain their normal breathing. Though they do not trust these people with the ultimatum from their Mistress, these guys don’t dare to make a move against them. Seeing them taking this long to recover, Tan Bingyu flicked a healing pill with hundred percent purity to the strongest in the group.
The ninetailed fox woman was confused at first when she smelled the scent of the pill her eyes widened in shock. After all, this is a pill with hundred percent purity. An extremely rare life saving treasure which even the people from the Core Haven to covet.
"Eat and heal them. The ruin is about to be open," Tan Bingyu said.
The woman who received the healing pill was reluctant to eat the pill. However, the giver was beside her so she had no other choice but to eat the pill. As expected the moment she ate the pill, the effect is similar to that of an elixir. The healing pills made by Yue Xuexia had been added with a holy element which she had inherited from the Primordial Holy Deva God. Due to this, most of her pills were more potent than the ones in the market.
The woman from the Ninetailed Fox Tribe felt her whole body warm and in her surprise even her hidden injuries were healed. She was so delighted that tears strolls down from her face.
"My hidden injuries... all healed. I can... I finally have a chance to reach the Emperor Realm!"
Even the young prince from the fox tribe was stunned. He knew that his guardian used to be the most talented elder in their tribe but after being betrayed by her lover and getting half of her tails cut, her path to becoming an emperor was also gone. So the tribe had turned her into a guardian protector of the most talented one of their tribe. Who would have thought this job she looked down upon would give her the opportunity to heal and regain what she had lost.
The woman suddenly kowtowed towards Tan Bingyu and thanked her for giving the pill.
"Thank you for giving me the pill. This pill has given me another chance in life. If there is something I can do for you, please just say a word and I, Hu Yui will definitely do it!" The female fox lady said.
Tan Bingyu said, "There is no need for thanks. That is just an ordinary healing pill the Mistress gives to us."
"Its just a healing pill the Mistress made herself," said Xue Renxue.
Everyone was surprised, especially the fox lady after all she had experienced the healing effects of the pill itself and it undeniably had the same effect of an elixir. But seeing the serious look of the young couple, obviously, in their eyes the pill is just a common thing distributed to their group from the Moon Empress. The group from the fox tribe were all dumbfounded. Something like a treasure in their eyes is just a common thing for this couple which made them feel speechless.
Xue Renxue reminded them, "Excuse me, I think the ruins are open. Are we not going in?"
In the end, everyone under the lead of the fox lady had entered the ruins. What they didn’t know was that when they entered the ruins, some people from the Vermillion Clan, Qilin Clan and Lesser Phoenix Clan had arrived after seeing that their young masters and young ladies’ life stone had broken at home. The leaders of each clan sent people to investigate what happened only to see the frozen broken bodies of their children.
"Little master!"
"Young miss!"
"My lady!"
"Young master!"
Holding each of the heads of their young masters and ladies, the servants of each clan were devastated. They never would have expected that the noble children of their clans would end up in such a state. As soon as they got the remains of their young lords and ladies, they also took the bodies of the hidden guards of each family and left to report to their leaders.

On the other hand, at the forest where Yue Xuexia and her children were staying. Yue Xuexia who had just cancelled her soul clone had returned to her body. The backlash of her soul returning to her body had caused her to cough a bit of blood which startled the children around her.
Cough
"Mom!"
"Don’t worry. It’s nothing much. Your Aunt Tan and Uncle Xue were in danger. Mom had to go and check on them," said Yue Xuexia as she let Yue Zhiya wipe the blood off her lips.
Yue Huashui asked, "What happened to them?"
"They met some divine tribes and got hunted," answered Yue Xuexia.
Except for Yue Zhiya, the other children were surprised to know that there was someone who dared to hunt them. Then they noticed Yue Zhiya’s expression as if he knew something, noticing the eyes falling on him, the little prince had no other choice but to explain the situation to the other while Yue Xuexia went to the table with ingredients and started cooking for dinner.
Yue Zhiya said, "There is a race in our world which is called Divine Beast race made up of four main royal bloodlines: True Phoenix race, Azure Dragon race, Xuanwu (Black Turtle) race and the Baihu (White Tiger) race. Under them are lesser divine beast bloodlines. In short a dilute divine bloodline like the Vermillion race, Qilin race, etc. These races hate mixing their bloodlines with others and intermarriage is normal for them. So they look down on mixed bloods the most. Among the mixed bloods those who have human blood on them were the ones they disdained the most."
"So they... the mixed blood were hunted and sometimes killed on the spot. This is the universal law of the Divine Beast. Uncle Xue and Aunt Tan are mixed blood so whenever they meet someone for the divine beast race, they will ultimately be hunted down."
The children didn’t expect such a cruel thing to happen among the Divine Beast Clan. They would kill one just because their bloodline was mixed with someone else. It can also only mean that as long as someone stronger than the overall Divine Beast Race protects the rights of a mixed blood that such discrimination will continue.
Yue Zhiya said, "Don’t worry. My clan can definitely protect them. Though the Yue Clan isn’t overwhelmingly powerful, the Divine Beast Clan would fear them. At the very least, we are stronger than them."
While the children were engrossed with the story from Yue Zhiya, the Moon Goddess had finished making dinner. She decided to have some soup and barbeque tonight seeing that they were outdoors, this is the most suitable choice for a meal.
During dinner, Yue Xuexia was having a meal when suddenly someone joined them. It was the old man riding on a cow, the very same person who had helped Yue Xuexia when she was falling from the sky. The children were stunned by his sudden arrival and immediately became vigilant towards this person. Only the Golden Merit Lotus, Yue Huajin, was the only one happy to see the old man.
"Yeye~ watching... Before jiejie and I~"
"Xiao Jin, you mean to say the person you saw this before is this old man?" Yue Hualei said.
Everyone didn’t expect that the person watching them was this old man. Seeing that their mother wasn’t on guard towards this person, the children were now confused. Yue Zhiya frowned as if he had seen the old man before but couldn’t remember where.
The Moon Goddess said, "Alright. Go resume eating. Give some food to the seniors as well."
"Okay~"
With the words from the Moon Goddess, the children were no longer on guard towards the old man and even served him some food. Of course, they loved the cow the old man had brought over as well. Though they didn’t know when and how the old man had trespassed the barrier, seeing that their mother was treating the senior respectfully they did as well.
After the meal, the old man had taken the small bag hanging on the side of the cow and gave it to the children and once again left. The children were dumbfounded and opened the cloth sack passed to them. They were surprised that it was full of immortal herbs which were good for healing one’s soul. It seems the senior who didn’t speak the whole meal time had indeed come over to give them some gifts. There is also a map among the herbs.
