Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 367: Golden Seed

Yue Xuexia’s decision to go to the Cultivation Realm meant she wouldn’t be able to return to this realm for quite a long time. She had to think of a lot of things and prepare a lot as well. Like, who would handle her businesses while she is not around? Normally, one will leave most of these to their family. However, her family is full of cultivators. To keep themselves focused on cultivating, most of them don’t get involved with the mortal realm’s material things. Her family will not accept it even if she gives it to them.

That’s why Yue Xuexia decided to create a board of CEOs with one chairman holding the reins. Though the ownership remains under her name and all the funds will enter the savings accounts of the Yue and Xia families, the ones who will handle the business will be those she will choose. She had asked Tan Bingyu to send summoning letters to the CEOs of all her businesses; for those businesses whose shares were both hers, she only sent an invitation. They can come if they want, and not if they don’t want to.

She had given them a week’s preparation before gathering at the Crowned Regent Hotel for a meeting. Meanwhile, Yue Xuexia remained in her mansion on her plateau while waiting for her grandmother to complete her awakening. Three days after the awakening, the golden branches started to fade, and Grandma Hialun, who had completed her bloodline awakening, had changed a lot.

She had gotten younger, at least as young as Mama Yue. What is more surprising is that her appearance has changed a lot. Her black hair had turned platinum blond. Its length had grown, almost reaching her feet. Her ears were no longer rounded like ordinary humans but became longer and pointy like the Elf King Andromeda possessed. Her brown eyes turned gold, which symbolized the highest blessing from Anastasia, the oldest world tree. Before her, there was only the Elf King who had received such a blessing.

Before, she looked no different from a mortal who had gotten younger with only an average beauty. After completing her awakening, Su Hialun had become a female Ancient Elf and also the last child of the World Tree, Anastasia, and the Elf King Andromeda.

Upon seeing his wife’s complete transformation, Xia Lianyu was stunned and didn’t know whether to approach or not. He stares at the ethereal female elf in front of him, not knowing what to do. Grandma Hialun had a long conversation with Anastasia’s remnant soul fragment during her awakening. Though the oldest world tree is now merely a seed, it didn’t mean it was completely dead. Anastasia had just fallen into a deep state of slumber, and the only one who could help her wake up was Su Hialun, the last pureblood female ancient elf.

Grandma Su was a bit dizzy when she woke up and saw her husband looking at her dazed from a distance. She was confused at first as to why her husband wasn’t coming to her as usual and walked towards Xia Lianyu, only to trip halfway, not noticing the things scattered on the ground, including some glass shards. Seeing that she was about to fall, Xia Lianyu took huge strides and carried her up, preventing the tragedy of becoming disfigured.

"Be careful. How are you feeling, Lun’er?" asked Xia Lianyu worriedly as he carried his wife in his arms.

Su Hialun smiled and said, "I’m alright. Why are you so far away from me?" Then she noticed that her husband was no longer hiding his original appearance.

Xia Lianyu’s appearance is always adjusted to the appearance of his wife. When she looked old with white hair, this man was willing to turn old with white hair and a white beard. As her cultivation increased and her youth slowly returned, this man was willing to follow suit. However, she can still remember how her husband originally looked when they first met. As if time had stopped for him, he always looks like a man in his twenties. It’s the face she fell in love with and engraved in her memories.

Now the very same handsome face looked sharp yet gentle. More mature and elegant. This handsome man had once again stolen her heart. The clear red-brown eyes of Xia Lianyu were something she loved the most. She had always thought that this reddish shade was some illusion from the sun’s light only when she heard that the shade reflects the color of the element. He is more proficient than she understood that red meant fire. It’s the flame element of that natural order.

"Eh? Why did you turn to your younger self, Brother Lian?" Su Hialun asked.

Xia Lianyu smiled and said, "If I don’t stand next to you, I will look like your servant instead of your husband~"

"What kind of joke are you talking about?" said Su Hialun as she accidentally pulled a hair and looked at the platinum blond hair strand in her hands.

She has seen all kinds of hair colors thanks to the internet. Her grandchildren also used to color their hair as they wished. That’s why, even though she isn’t an expert when it comes to haircuts and hair color, she still has some knowledge about it.

"Platinum blond? My granddaughter’s hair was all black. Who will play with this color when you are old?"

Ouch!

Su Hialun pulled her hair and unexpectedly felt her head being tugged as well. Only then did she realize that this hair was hers and no one else’s. As for why she didn’t realize that it was her hair, it was because she remembered trying her hair up before coming here and thought that this hair was caused by something falling or floating around and accidentally falling on her. After all, the whole warehouse was destroyed for a reason, and she never would have expected that the cause of all this was her as well.

The pain on her scalp was real, and she looked at the colored hair in her hand and at her husband and everyone else staring at her.

Yue Xuexia approached her grandmother and asked, "Granny, do you want to see yourself?" She passed a square mirror large enough to see her whole face.

Once Su Hialun looked at the reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Platinum blond hair, a pair of gold irises, and long ears. Even her shocked expression was reflected in the mirror. However, the face on it was definitely hers, just a bit more refined to perfection, making her look not like an ordinary human as before.

"Who is this!? There is someone else reflected in the mirror!" Shouted Grandma Hialun as she threw the mirror, which was eventually caught by Tan Bingyu.

Su Hialun looked frightened and hugged her husband’s neck tightly in fear. However, even though Grandma Su doesn’t want to believe it, her granddaughter, Yue Xuexia, asked Tan Bingyu to make a full-body ice mirror, allowing Grandma Hialun to see her transformation. What it’s like to see an elf wearing modern clothing. That’s what Su Hialun is seeing as her reflection at this moment.

Tan Bingyu said, "Old Madam, please look at your reflection again."

"Is this truly me?" Su Hialun questioned.

The one who answered was Elf King Andromeda, who waited for her to calm down before approaching her. He knew that this child was reborn as his and Anastasia’s daughter.

King Andromeda said, "Your hidden bloodline is that of an Ancient Elf. The Mother of all elves, Anastasia, has helped you fully awaken your bloodline as an Ancient Elf. Thus, you woke up in this state. By the way, Anastasia is my wife. You can treat me as your father. No, I am indeed your father since your ancient elf bloodline was passed on through me. Though I and Anastasia don’t have a biological child, you, who are chosen by her as her daughter, are also my daughter. I am the Immortal King of Ancient Elves. My name is Andromeda Goldleaf."

Su Hialun recalls the gorgeous lady with pure gold, curly, long hair, and a pair of golden eyes. This lady accompanied her and helped her awaken her bloodline. She also recalled being her child in her dreams. Su Hialun, who had been an orphan for as long as she could remember, was delighted to accept her as her mother. Who would have thought that when she woke up, there would be a father waiting for her as well? However, she chose to accept him as his father, as her mother, Anastasia, said that the man whom she could call "father" possessed the last seed that would allow her to meet her mother in reality.

She said, "Mother said only the man who possessed the gold seed, which is her origin, can be called father by me. Does the senior have such an item in his possession?"

Knowing that these are instructions from his wife, King Andromeda didn’t feel offended. Moreover, can he even get angry? If he caused a scene that accidentally hurt his daughter or anyone in this room, the first one to be killed is definitely him. The existence of the Moon Goddess is real. There is also the great general of the Immortal Sun Empire and the Immortal Sun Emperor himself. The scariest of them all is that this is a family with the Royal Lei bloodline in their veins. This means they are overprotective maniacs themselves. He will be killed on the spot if he does something else.

He pulled the last memento his wife left him before he fell into his world. A gem-like tree seed that had golden runes in it. King Andromeda passed it to Su Hialun and said,

"This is the main seed of your mother, Anastasia."
