Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 369: Visitors at the Plateau

The sudden awakening of Madam Xia, Su Hialun, as an Ancient Elf had once again caused chaos in the country. Though the elven race had been considered as real, most of them live in the Moonlight Forest, and it’s hard to meet one of them. Even the Elf King Andromeda rarely met others while in Huaxia. Even if someone saw him, he would be hidden in the country. He had been staying with Grandpa Xia and Grandma Su on the mountain where the Xia Clan is staying. As long as the Xia family doesn’t say a thing, no one will know that the Elf King is a guest of their family.

Tan Bingyu had informed Long Sia that the Mistress had allowed the Long family to meet them, and thus, they went to the plateau unhindered by the cultivator waiting outside. It seems that even though they were informed that there were no treasures and all phenomena that occurred that night were because of someone’s awakening, not all of them believed so. So, the pressure of the Long family continues until today.

At the plateau...

A table for the guests was prepared. They didn’t invite the Long family inside, as Yue Xuexia and the other three planned to have lunch outside with the spiritual beasts of Yue Xuexia. When Long Shendi, Long Sia, Long Juedi, and Ling Wen arrived, they saw the three gods and Tan Bingyu moving around the farm outside. Taiyang is in the farm taking a few vegetables and fruits, which will be used to cook lunch. Tan Bingyu is cleaning the fish they got from the manmade pond full of spiritual carp. Shen Jueyang is controlling the fire over the pots, and Yue Xuexia is busying herself with cooking preparations for beggar chickens and marinating seafood as well as meat like pork and beef.

Taiyang was the most idle in the group and immediately noticed their arrival. "Xue’er, your guests have arrived early!"

"Oh! Escort them over and bring me the vegetables and fruits I asked for!" shouted Yue Xuexia from the kitchen preparation table.

Taiyang appeared before the Long family carrying a few big baskets of fruits and vegetables. Most of the seeds planted in the farming area on the plateau are ordinary seeds. However, thanks to the blessed lands, these fruits and vegetables all mutated and accumulated a lot of energy in them. Yue Xuexia placed a formation that increases time over the farm, allowing a day to be equal to a hundred days inside the formation. This affects only what was planted in the soil and nothing aside from it.

Thus, most mutated fruits and vegetables on this land can be considered a treasure on the outside. Long Juedi and his family were stunned to see that those things they considered valuables could only be considered as ordinary food by the Moon Goddess and her group. Though he can understand that gods possessed different kinds of physiques compared to mortals, it is still an enviable scene.

Long Shendi said, "Is that the same kind of crop that you had given to the village before, Jue’er?"

"Yes, Grandfather. Those were taken from this blessed land. Those were the first produced. As for the next batch, you’ve seen it on the way. There is a part of those lands under the Long Clan, and it hasn’t grown enough to be harvested yet," Long Juedi explained.

Ling Wen said to Long Juedi, "Don’t keep standing at the entrance. We can help with making lunch at least." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Ah. Right. Mistress, Secretary Tan, I can cook. Let me help!" Long Sia said.

Tan Bingyu said, "Sister Sia? Then please help the mistress to cut the vegetables and peel the fruits."

"Alright! Leave it to me!" Long Sia said.

Long Shendi helped with carrying some baskets from Taiyang’s hands. "Let me carry some, Senior." Then he followed his wife while carrying two baskets in his arms. "Wife, wait for me!"

Seeing Long Juedi and Ling Wen left behind, Taiyang looked at the other six baskets left and carried two.

He said, "Follow over. Carry two baskets each. If you don’t work, you don’t eat."

The two do as they were told and carry baskets with them as they climb to the highest area of the plateau. Upon their arrival, Long Shendi gave them new aprons to wear, and they were ordered to skewer some meat, vegetables, and fruits. Taiyang, on the other hand, has to prepare the grilling area for seafood, chicken, and meat. It took a few hours for the soup and rice to be cooked, as well as for the grilling area. One can take anything cooked on it or cook whatever they want to eat.

Most men were fighting over the grilling area, where most meat is located. Most men love meat, after all. As for the ladies, they had gathered around that table, eating. If they wanted to eat meat, they only needed to shout what they wanted, and those men would send them some.

While eating, Long Sia happily greeted her mistress. Those who handle the business under the Mistress’s name usually only meet Secretary Tan and not the owner. After all, Yue Xuexia is completely hands-off when it comes to her business and is only waiting for the dividends annually. She would only get involved if the companies had some problems they couldn’t resolve on their own. Like those things that involve cultivators and so on.

Long Sia said, "Mistress, we met again. Do you still remember me?"

"Of course! It’s Long Sia from the Imperial Law Firm. You have helped us a lot. I will call you, Aunt Sia," said Yue Xuexia. "Actually, there is something I need to ask about the companies. Sister Bingyu and I plan to go to the Cultivation World. That means we would be gone for so many unknown years. What should I do, Aunt Sia?"

"I know that cultivators come and go. Their main priority is to cultivate. I assume that the Yue family had no intention of taking over the leadership," said Long Sia.

She is currently in her work mode. Even though she possessed her previous life’s memory, it cannot be denied that she is a modern woman. Thus, even though she had awakened her half-dragon bloodline, she still wished to continue working in the Imperial Law Firm, and the Long family agreed to this.

Yue Xuexia said, "Yes. They wanted to focus on cultivation."

"Will they be going with you?" Long Sia asked.

Yue Xuexia said, "Maybe not. I’m unsure. My grandfather and grandmother would, though."

"Then, it’s not possible for them to watch over the companies for you. But, Mistress, you should at least find one from your bloodline to watch over the place. Is there someone who can take over while you are gone?" Long Sia asked.

Yue Xuexia had a hard time answering. Even though the Xia Clan is big, her companies are all under her name and have nothing to do with the Xia Clan. It is okay to give some of her aunts, uncles, and cousins some work in her company, but asking one of them to take over will cause big problems. They might get jealous of another, and a huge drama might unfold between her relatives while she is gone. This is something she didn’t want to happen.

Long Sia, guessing what’s in her mistress’s mind, suggested, "Mistress, how about making a decision after you ask your family if they are going to leave with you for the cultivation world? If there is at least one of them staying, then there will be no problems, and I can handle the rest. However, if they are all coming with you, then... we need to find your place."

"Then... I will ask my family’s stance first," said Yue Xuexia.

Shen Jueyang, who is about to send a few plates of meat to the table, overheard their conversation and said, "You can use a clone, Xue’er. Those at the Huashen Realm can create a clone that can be used as your avatar. Even if you are far away, you can take over that clone and use it as you will."

"A clone? Can that be easily done?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Shen Jueyang said, "For a god, it’s easy. It is no different than leaving a piece of your will into the body and letting it live the life you wanted it to be. However, since it’s a clone, the power it possesses wouldn’t be stronger than yours. Maybe half or more of your cultivation realm can be used by your clone. If you took over its body, of course, you can use your full strength."

"Teach me! I want to know how to make a clone!" Yue Xuexia said with excitement flashing in her eyes.

Shen Jueyang said, "Of course. I planned to teach you. This is a life-saving technique itself. Why do you think it’s hard to kill a Huashen Cultivator?"

"Because they possessed a lot of clones?" said Yue Xuexia.

Tan Bingyu said, "I heard most cultivators at Huashen Realm would use only clones to venture outside. So, this is true."

"Yes, but only weak gods do that, especially when looking for treasures. Clones can hardly cultivate, you know. Their realm is limited, unlike the real body. You won’t be able to cultivate properly with clones alone unless the clone you are using is a true clone, which is no different from your real body. I also have this technique, but a Huashen can barely utilize it, as this clone is no different from cutting your soul and flesh to create another you. I don’t suggest this one," said Shen Jueyang.

Yue Xuexia said, "I’m okay with an ordinary clone. Teach later."

"I will. Eat your lunch properly first," said Shen Jueyang.
