Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 356: Yue Xuexia’s Soul Domain

In the end, the black dragon hatchling only calmed down when Tan Bingyu promised to introduce him to the white flood dragon, Baiyue. As the subordinate of the Moon Goddess, taking care of her mistress’s spiritual beasts is only typical. It won’t be hard for Tan Bingyu to help the black dragon hatchling meet them. Of course, under the premise that he won’t harm them. After Long Tianhei got the promise to meet Baiyue, the others went on to what they needed to do.

Xia Lianyu was taken away by his master and went to his private training area. He plans to teach this disciple of his how to properly control the bloodline he had acquired from him. Long Huangdi came with them for fun. As for Long Shendi and Long Sia, they went to find the elder and help with the ritual to transform Long Sia into a half-dragon. This will not only extend her life and change her race but also allow her to cultivate faster than before. As for Long Juedi, he was tasked by the ancestor to pick up Madam Xia, who would become Long Tianlan’s direct disciple.

The whole village is celebrating their ancestor’s great blessing. Not only were his hidden injuries cured, even his lifespan was also extended by longevity pills from the divine doctor. As long as he meditates for a few years, his original realm will also return.

While the dragon village is making preparations for the celebration, Shen Jueyang, who had disappeared with Yue Xuexia, was found by Taiyang in the most comfortable room in the village. After treating the ancestor of the Azure Dragon Tribe, she had once again fainted, and Shen Jueyang was watching after her.

Taiyang, upon his arrival, asked his main body, "How is Xue’er?"

"There were no injuries, just a lack of qi. I just couldn’t understand why the consumption of her qi is still the same after becoming a god. Even though Sacred Healing Skill is a divine skill, it only uses up divinity, but her body uses her qi as well, especially when healing those in the Huashen realm and above," said Shen Jueyang.

Taiyang asked, "Have you checked into her soul? What have you found out?"

Shen Jueyang’s face turned a bit dark when he heard such a question. There is no way he didn’t try checking the soul of Yue Xuexia, but before he could enter her soul domain, something powerful inside of her had blocked him.

He said, "Something blocked me from checking her soul?"

"Is it Xue’er?" asked Taiyang.

"Because it wasn’t her that I was in a dilemma. There is something in her soul that, aside from her, was inside of her," said Shen Jueyang.

Taiyang said, "Another soul? Why would she allow such a thing? Her vessel will not be able to bear it! Let’s take it out."

But he was stopped by Shen Jueyang, revealing burnt skin on his right hand. This is a mark left when one was hit by lightning. Obviously he had tried taking out the other soul. But he was struck by the heavens and had to bring Yue Xuexia to this place for better rest.

Shen Jueyang said, "It’s not possible. The soul only uses up her qi, overpowering what she usually uses. However, it doesn’t get rejected by her body. That only means that another soul might be the Moon Empress herself."

"What!? How can the original soul still remain after reincarnation!?" Taiyang exclaimed.

Shen Jueyang covered his mouth and stopped him from screaming more. "Shut up. I don’t know, alright! It’s because I don’t know that I am waiting for Xue’er to wake up."

"But does Xue’er even know about the other soul inside of her?" asked Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang said, "We can only ask after she wakes up."

On the other hand, inside the soul domain of Yue Xuexia. A galaxy-covered sky with two moons and lightning storms and a garden of snow lotuses can be seen. At the center of this is an ancient pavilion where two women stayed, having tea and snacks. One of these women is the former moon goddess in her Moon Empress, Yue Xuehua, and the other, in modern clothing, is in a onesie-shaped Orca pajama sitting on a couch.

The moon express was staring at the cold-faced Yue Xuexia, who was enjoying her snack while she was in her otaku mode. There is a holographic screen beside her playing a solo leveling anime; she is binge-watching it. She didn’t even care that Xuehua was staring at her.

"Xia, let’s watch the one with two male leads. Let’s watch Untamed instead!" said Yue Xuehua.

Regardless of being an ancient empress from the Immortal World, being affected by modern civilization had struck her well. Moreover, Yue Xuexia was spoiling her by giving her whatever she wanted. The small holographic screen beside her disappeared, and a huge one appeared before the two of them. According to the recorded memories of Yue Xuexia, the BL series Untamed started playing before them.

While watching and eating snacks, Yue Xuehua suddenly said, "Aren’t you going to wake up yet, Xia?"

"No need. I will wake up naturally. Let me accompany you here for a little longer," said Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuehua said, "Because of me, you can’t fully use your abilities as the Moon Goddess. Even a simple healing tires you up. Is it truly alright with you? As long as you merge with me, you can return to your peak."

"It is not urgent. Let’s talk about this some other time," said Yue Xuexia.

Sigh~

"Alright. I will not talk about merging for a while. Sorry, I didn’t allow the emperor to come inside. I still feel... a bit uncomfortable towards him..." Yue Xuehua said. "I still love him yet hate him the same as before."

"I am not angry. This is your sole domain as well. If you don’t want him to enter, then just block him as you wish. Ignore him if you don’t want to see him at all," said Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuehua said, "...Call me if your powers aren’t enough. All of mine is supposed to be yours after all."

Yue Xuexia wanted to refute her words, but her soul started to fade, meaning that she was about to wake up in reality.

"Do not say that, Hua."

She was forced to return to reality and woke up in her body. Yue Xuehua, who was left behind, closed the series they were watching and looked at the two moons inside the soul domain. One is a normal, ordinary moon, and the other is a purplish moon emitting heavenly lightning.

"Xia, we were born to be together but split after I failed my tribulation at that time. After my death, your existence keeps my soul alive. Even after reincarnation, you do not want me to completely disappear. However, when I lost you before and died even before I found you, I know I can never be her. I do not want my existence to cause your strength to stagnate. You are the real empress that stood above all, not me..." Yue Xuehua mumbles.

—

In reality...

Yue Xuexia’s long eyelashes flutter as she slowly opens her eyes. Seeing an unfamiliar ceiling, Yue Xuexua’s expression turned calm and cold. She looks like an emotionless person who stares at nothing and sees nothing in this world as her equal. Only when she hears a voice do emotions start to surface in her eyes and face.

Taiyang said, "Xue’er, you are finally awake!"

"Yangyang? Jueyang? How long was I out?" Yue Xuexia asked as she sat up with Shen Jueyang’s help.

Shen Jueyang said, "You’ve been out for three days. How are you feeling?"

"Except for the fact that I feel hungry, everything else is normal," answered Yue Xuexia while rubbing her tummy.

Taiyang said, "I will get you some food." As he disappeared as fast as the wind.

Leaving Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia alone in the room, silence spreads. The two of them aren’t used to starting conversations. One used to be an emperor who was used to listening to his subordinates and giving commands. As for Yue Xuexia, as long as she can read her novelkiss, watch her anime and live-action series, she will not talk at all.

Grumbles~

This is the sound of Yue Xuexia’s stomach protesting. Seeing this, Shen Jueyang can only pull a few immortal fruits in his small world and give them to Yue Xuexia as snacks.

Pfft~

"Eat these first. Taiyang will be returning with your meals soon," said Shen Jueyang.

Yue Xuexia accepted the small basket of fruit and started eating one. She said, "Thank you, Jueyang. You look like you want to ask something. Is there something wrong?"

Shen Jueyang observed Yue Xuexia, who is looking at him while munching on her fruit until her cheek bulges. It made him smile, and he took out a small knife, helping her remove the skin of her fruit and present it on a plate for her to eat.

"I just wanted to ask if you know that there is another soul inside of you. Xue’er, did you know?" Shen Jueyang asked.

Yue Xuexia was honest and said, "I know. She appeared after I’d reached the Huashen realm. She said that she is my power, and I have to merge with her, and I told her that I am alright with what I have right now. There is no need to merge. Hua said she doesn’t want to see you, so you cannot enter my soul domain, Jueyang."

"I see." That is all he can say at this moment.

Shen Jueyang didn’t seem surprised when he heard Yue Xuexia call the other soul Hua. There is only one woman with the name Hua who is connected to him. His former Moon Empress, Yue Xuehua.
