Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 383: Entering a City

The sudden appearance of the Beast King of the Fantasy Forest had caught Qi Shiru and the young disciples with him off guard. Just when they thought they would all be killed by the Golden Core realm’s White Lion, something even more ridiculous happened. This Beast King picked up the immortal herbs and gave them to a young lady. In the end, they were spared and watched the Beast King leave.

After the Beast King had left, Qi Shiru once again approached the Divine Doctor, Yue Xuexia. She was currently busy checking on the herbs she received and placed them inside her basket.

"Miss Yue, how high exactly is your cultivation realm? Even that beast king didn’t dare to kill you just now," Qi Shiru asked.

Yue Xuexia just picked up her basket and said, "Well, somewhere around the strength of the Beast King just now."

As expected, as soon as she answered this way, the cultivators in front of her were shocked and started talking to one another as if she didn’t exist. There is no use whispering among themselves, as Yue Xuexia’s realm was so profound that she could even hear the small buzzing of insects within the large forest.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Can I ask what you guys are doing in this forest and where this place is?"

"This is the Fantasy Forest’s outer region. That Peak Golden Core White Lion is the beast king of the outer region of this forest. We actually have a mission to get at least an 8th- or 9th-level Qi Refinement beast, but that foundation realm white lion ambushed us. As you can see, we had no other choice but to fight against it," explained Qi Shiru.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Can you bring me to the city? I wanted to find my companions."

"Of course, we don’t mind. However, we would like to complete our mission first," said Qi Shiru.

Yue Xuexia looked at him and the children behind Qi Shiru, who were all staring at her curiously. Then, finally, speak, "If you want to venture into the forest, I suggest that you guys take a bath and change your clothes. There is something on you that attracts beasts; that’s why you were attacked by a foundation realm White Lion beast."

Qi Shiru and the disciples with him didn’t expect something like this. Now that they thought about it, on their way to the Fantasy Forest, some mount and spiritual beast would linger their eyes on them, which was unusual. When they had just entered the forest, they were surrounded by mutated animals. If what the divine doctor had said was real, this means someone put whatever that thing is to attract monsters on their bodies and has been waiting for death this whole time.

"Go find a river. We will wash up first before resuming our mission!" Qi Shiru said.

The group looked around and found a clean river. There are some white, milky fish in this river, and Yue Xuexia caught some for lunch. With Yue Xuexia joining their group, the ambush from the beasts of this forest lessened a lot. They had changed their clothes and helped with cleaning the fish, and started cooking for the group as well. They sat around a bonfire waiting for the fish by the grill to be cooked.

Qi Shiru asked Yue Xuexia, "Did a lot of you come to this realm?"

"Not much. Just my family, friends, and our subordinate," Yue Xuexia answered.

Qi Shiru said, "I see. Did those two come with you? The Hidden Tan Clan Princess, Senior Sister Tan, and that scary man from before."

"Are you talking about Sister Bingyu and Yangyang? They’ve also come, but they might have been summoned somewhere instead," said Yue Xuexia.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were grateful that they were saved by Yue Xuexia not only once or twice but thrice. Because of this, they were friendly towards Yue Xuexia.

"Miss Yue, we will definitely bring you to the main city and help you find your family."

"The nearest city is the mortal city under the protection of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As long as we ask around, they might be able to tell us where your family and friends are.

"Thank you. Then I will leave it to you," said Yue Xuexia. She was smiling, but because of her veil, no one saw her smile.

Qi Shiru asked, "By the way, why are you wearing a veil?"

"Oh? This veil? This is something Sister Bingyu gave to me. They said I should wear a veil to avoid getting stalked by people," said Yue Xuexia.

A female cultivator said, "Senior, since there aren’t any strangers around, you can take off your veil."

Yue Xuexia thought for a moment and finally removed the veil. As expected, the moment her real face was revealed, both men and women were stunned by her beauty. No, they can hardly meet her eyes because she looks so exquisite, making it hard for them to speak. In the end, Yue Xuexia once again wore the veil, hiding her beauty under it. It took a while before everyone woke up from the shock.

The two female cultivators approached her and seemed to be interested in her beauty products.

"Senior, you are so beautiful. Is there a secret?"

"Your face is flawless and smooth. On the other hand, my skin has been rough from training under the sun for a while."

"Are you asking for my beauty routine? I just used the cosmetics I made myself. I have some spares I will give to you for our first meeting," said Yue Xuexia, and she brought out two pouches with floral patterns and passed them to the ladies in the group. "This is handmade. I will give you the recipe on how to make it so you can make your own."

"Senior, is it hard to make it?" A female cultivator asked.

Yue Xuexia answered, "No. It is just mixing herbs with a perfect ratio to get the result you want. Moreover, the ingredients are just common herbs, so there shouldn’t be any problem with you."

The group rested for a while before resuming their journey to the other region of the forest. On the way, Yue Xuexia didn’t help much and focused on gathering herbs. On the third day, the group finally killed a 9th-level fire bear and is preparing to go back. Their journey back to the forest is similar to when they are hunting. Most of these disciples possessed a flying artifact; thus, they only needed to fly back to the main city. Yue Xuexia used her fan to fly with these groups.

—

It only took an hour for them to reach the main city. The city had built towering walls and gates. There are also some guards who immediately salute upon seeing Qi Shiru and others wearing the white robes with sword patterns at the edge, showing that they are from the Heavenly Sword Sect. But they stop Yue Xuexia, who is following them.

The guards said, "Please wait, esteemed cultivators. We need to check this lady’s token of identification."

"This lady is our guest, so there is no need for a token," said Qi Shiru.

The guards were reluctant but still agreed to the words of the Qi Shiru, who looked like an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, just as they were about to walk in, they were blocked by another young man wearing a white robe with a fire pattern on it. This is a disciple from the Crimson Fire Sect and had a grudge against Qi Shiru himself.

"Hahaha~ Qi Shiru, I can believe someone like you, who is from the Heavenly Sword Sect, would break a law just for a lady of unknown background. What will you do if she is a spy from the evil sect?"

"Don’t be rude to our guest, Hou Liang! If my Senior Brother Mo and Senior Senior Fu heard you saying that their benefactor is an evil sect spy, they will never forgive you!" said Qi Shiru.

Once everyone heard that the veiled lady in dark red robes was an acquaintance of the famous pair from Three Sword Peak, they couldn’t help but stare at her more. However, despite all the stares falling on her, her posture and elegance remain. Her calm demeanor and indifference made her seem like someone with a noble standing, and those who were staring at her couldn’t help but lower their heads as if they were afraid of offending her.

Sigh~

"It’s okay, Qi Shiru. I only need to show a token to identify myself, don’t I? There is no need to skim the laws of this place for something so simple," Yue Xuexia said.

Qi Shiru recalled that his senior brother had given his token to her. "That’s right! Senior Brother Mo had given you his token. You can use that, Miss Yue!"

"That token I have given to Sister Bingyu, as she told me she had lost her old token before. Don’t worry, I have another one here," said Yue Xuexia as she removed the token from her grandfather and gave it to the guards at the gates.

Their reactions, however, were too vivid as they looked at Yue Xuexia with shock on their faces. The guards at the gates immediately fell to their knees as they returned the token given to them by Yue Xuexia back to her.

The guards said, "Please forgive our rudeness! We didn’t expect that the lady was someone connected to the Supreme Elder of the Starfield Sect!"

"You can enter the city, my lady. No, esteemed fairy! Please forgive our rudeness!"

"Thank you," said Yue Xuexia as she took back the token from her grandfather and hung it at her thin waist once again.

"Starfield Sect? She is someone from the Starfield Sect!?"

"Moreover, someone connected to the Supreme Elder! Oh my god!"

Even Qi Shiru and Hou Liang were dumbfounded. It can be said that the Starfield Sect is one of the strongest sects in the whole Cultivation Realm. Even though the Heavenly Sword Sect can only be considered second to the Starfield Sect.

Qi Shiru asked, "Miss Yue, what is your connection to the Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder?"

"Him? He is my grandfather. Is there something wrong?" answered Yue Xuexia.

Everyone in the area who heard her response exclaimed, "GRANDFATHER!?"
