Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 359: Tan Bingyu’s Breakthrough

They were stunned after the three dragon kings learned the truth behind their emperor’s anger. It’s been a while since the Immortal Sun Emperor acted with such a human emotion after all this time. Actually, before he sat on his throne’s empire and became the Immortal Sun Emperor, he was no different than he is right now. However, he simply has too many enemies, and they were all killed because of their jealousy towards his talent. In the end, he can only create an empire in the name of his deceased family.

It was because of the past of the Immortal Sun Emperor that they didn’t react much after he treated his Moon Empress oddly all these years. After all, losing his family to those greedy relatives made it harder for Shen Jueyang to start a family on his own. Thus, love for another person, he had personally thrown it away. Whether it was the Moon Empress or the Fairy Queen, the Immortal Sun Emperor only married them for the sake of expanding his empire. He never loved them and treated them as mere ornaments to his empire.

Which is why when they were betrayed by the Fairy Queen and the Immortal Star Emperor, they weren’t surprised at all. After all, aside from those who signed a contract with the Immortal Sun Emperor, the others were never a part of their empire. Even the Moon Empress was just a wife in name, and their dao companionship was never witnessed by the heavens.

However, the situation is different now. The reincarnation of the Moon Empress is completely different from Yue Xuexia. She possessed a strong personality and was independent. She might be lazy, but she is the type to do anything perfectly as long as she makes a move. Her talent matches the Immortal Sun Emperor well. Last but not least, their immortal emperor loves her as a woman. Maybe it was because of Yue Xuexia that their Immortal Emperor had reverted to how he was before he became an Immortal Emperor.

The only problem is that, this time, the one who doesn’t have feelings ended up becoming the Moon Goddess. With an oath never to fall in love with someone unless this vow was erased, Yue Xuexia will never see their Immortal Emperor as a man. Right now, he can only be seen as a male friend, and that’s all. What made it worse is that the Moon Goddess herself didn’t want to break the vow she had made. Thus, Shen Jueyang didn’t force her to do so and just treated her as his most important person.

The three dragon kings watch the figure of Yue Xuexia and their emperor, Shen Jueyang, getting along. However, an invisible wall prevents them from getting closer as more than friends remain. Even though Shen Jueyang tried to pry it, he wasn’t able to completely touch the heart of the Moon Goddess. Thus, they can only watch quietly like the great general, Taiyang.

The three dragon kings whisper at one another.

Long Tianhong said, "Should we help the emperor?"

"NO! I don’t want to die," said Long Tianhei. "You don’t fear her as she never stared at you with those emotionless eyes. I can assure you. The current Moon Goddess might be weaker at this moment, but her personality and character are stronger than the previous one. Her presence can match the emperor’s presence alone."

Long Tianlan added, "That’s the kind of person who is better as a friend than as an enemy."

"So~ we can only watch them like this?" asked Long Tianhong.

Long Tianlan said, "At least in this fragile world, let’s just watch over them."

Meanwhile, at the table area, Shen Jueyang was helping Yue Xuexia pick the highest grade materials among the ones presented on the table.

"Pick this one! This is the scale of Tianlan. His realm might have degraded his physical body when he was still a dragon king. With this scale, you should be able to make a divine-grade weapon," said Shen Jueyang.

Yue Xuexia said, "I haven’t reached the threshold to create divine-grade artifacts. Semi-divine grade is my limit right now. I might waste that material if I use it," said Yue Xuexia.

Shen Jueyang packed all the scales of the dragon king and picked a few from the elders, as they possessed varying elements. They didn’t take all of it away. After all, now that the dragon race is free to go down the mountains, they can sell these materials and get the currency that can be used in the city. Of course, she didn’t materialize without payment. She had given them a lot of resources that were piled up in her inventory.

At first, the dragon race didn’t want to accept her things, but when she said that she would not accept anything if they didn’t take her payment, the elder dragon could only agree. Of course, they only took the minimal amount as payment.

It also didn’t take long for Grandma Hialun to return with Long Juedi. After hearing the explanation from her husband, Su Hialun accepted Long Tianlan as his direct disciple. In the end, it was decided that Grandpa Xia and Grandma Su would be staying in this village for a while. Well, at least until they’ve mastered the basics of controlling their dragon bloodline.

Yue Xuexia also stayed for a few days as Tan Bingyu needed to bathe in the cold spring to make a breakthrough from the Jindan to the Yuanying realm.

At the mountain where the cold spring was located, Tan Bingyu, wearing a thin rope around her body, was meditating inside the pool. Yue Xuexia had poured a concoction to increase the ice elements inside the pool. Right now, the surface of the pool near Tan Bingyu has turned into ice.

Yue Xuexia personally stayed to protect her during the breakthrough. Having a picnic nearby, Taiyang and the dragon children were all with her. As for Shen Jueyang, he had been staying with his former subordinates and wanted to learn more about what happened after their deaths.

During Yue Xuexia’s rest time, she will study space-related techniques. There are some records in the dragon village’s library, and she mastered the basics in a few weeks while waiting for Tan Bingyu to finish her breakthrough. Until that day, Yue Xuexia felt the arrival of the heavenly lightning for Tan Bingyu’s real breakthrough.

Yue Xuexia suddenly looked at the darkening sky and narrowed her eyes. "Yangyang, bring the children back to the village and tell them that Tan Bingyu is about to break through!"

"Okay! Leave it to me," said Taiyang as the dragon children all clung to him, and he disappeared on the spot with them.

Yue Xuexia closed her book and stood up from her hammock while watching the heavenly calamity for Tan Bingyu’s breakthrough.

She mumbles, "It seems that due to Sister Bingyu’s physique increase in strength, even her heavenly punishment had increased a lot."

RUMBLES~ RUMBLES~

Yue Xuexia said, "It’s coming!"

As expected, when Tan Bingyu opened her eyes, she looked above her, waiting for the first lightning strike. She was prepared to tackle this breakthrough. Thanks to her physique getting stronger, she wasn’t afraid of lightning at all. But the heavenly punishment is a fickle one. No one would be surprised if the strength of each strike suddenly increased, like what had happened during the breakthrough of Yue Xuexia at the Huashen realm. However, she had no intention of getting involved in this breakthrough unless Tan Bingyu was in danger.

CRIZZ~

The first lightning had fallen on Tan Bingyu. The latter was composed as she watched the lightning falling on her. Before it touched her forehead, Tan Bingyu whispered.

"Freeze!"

Ice spread as the lightning turned into a pillar of ice that connected the land and the sky. I immediately crumbled into a pile of snow. Yue Xuexia smiled at that scene. The other, who was watching from outside the range of the heavenly punishment, was amazed.

Long Tianlan said, "This little girl’s physique has gotten stronger. It seems the cold spring was truly compatible with her."

"Nine Yin Meridians. This is a physique that the Snow Clan in the Cultivation Realm would inherit. Is this child’s family connected to that clan?" Long Tianhong asked.

Long Huangdi said, "Ancestors, that child is the granddaughter of Tan Huangyu, and his deceased wife seems to have a connection to the Ice Phoenix in the Immortal World."

When the Phoenix race was mentioned, the three dragon kings turned a bit melancholic. They remember that it wasn’t only them who had gone against the Immortal Star Domain, and like them, the phoenix race must have suffered badly as well, or maybe had gone extinct.

Long Tianhei said, "Maybe this human girl is the last descendant of the Ice Phoenix tribe. If only she could return to her ancestry and become a real phoenix instead."

"That won’t be hard. As long as Xue’er decides to leave this star, it’s possible for them to find a way for her to return ancestry. The problem is that the Moon Goddess is too attached to her family," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang said, "She had spent too much time in the mundane world. If she had grown up in a cultivation family, at least this kind of attachment wouldn’t be this powerful."

"That’s my fault. I should have fought back against my sect at that time and brought Lun’er to the cultivation world at least. If I did, then... my granddaughter wouldn’t have invested much in mundane things," said Xia Lianyu.

Under the protection of Yue Xuexia, Tan Bingyu had breakthroughs to the nascent soul realm at an early stage. She can now be considered a real powerhouse in Huaxia. She can now help her mistress in doing more things that involve cultivation and not only watch at the side to be protected by Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu was delighted as the golden pillar of light fell on her, healing her injuries. "I am finally a Yuanying cultivator!"
