Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 392: Saved by Mortals
Chapter 392: 392: Saved by Mortals
Tan Huangyu woke up and ate a pill to cure his wounds and replenish his qi instantly. He didn’t notice the fear the doctor in the clinic had when he was questioned about being a cultivator. Before he could react, the doctor had run out of the room he thought of, but it was some kind of makeshift tent instead.
The doctor shouted as he ran out.
"He is a cultivator. Cultivator!!!"
These shouts echo outside the tent, leaving Tan Huangyu dumbfounded. He meditated for a while, waiting to regain a bit of his strength. Then he waited for people to find him. He needs to properly express his gratitude to these people who saved him. Plus, he needs to leave soon. He needs to find his son, granddaughter, and his clan members. He can feel that they are scattered around this land.
After waiting for a while, no one came to see him, and Tan Huangyu decided to come out of the tent. As soon as he came out, numerous arrows fell on him. However, this arrow is harmless towards him. A frown appeared on his face as he saw a group of mortals surrounding the tent he was in with weapons in their hands, yet staring at him full of fear.
Tan Huangyu couldn’t understand why these mortals were doing things. Among them, only a pale-looking young lady tried to stop these people from attacking him for the second time.
"Cultivator, die!"
"How dare you trick us!?"
"Brother, calm down. He doesn’t seem to be someone from the Snow Clan."
"Have you forgotten how they had taken Grandma Yu!?"
"Stand back. We can’t let him leave here alive, or our hidden village will be destroyed as well."
The people around Tan Huangyu were about to attack him again when he finally made a move. With a snap of his finger, a ring of fire separates him from their group, catching them off guard. However, they weren’t injured by this man at all.
Tan Huangyu said, "I don’t care what your hatred for the Snow Clan is. However, do not mistake me for those bastards. It’s offensive."
"I care about the reason why you are hiding or why you choose to stay here. It had nothing to do with me. But the choice you made saved my life; for that reason alone, I am willing to fulfill one of your wishes."
Tan Huangyu took out his Hidden Tan Clan Token and gave it to the only person who spoke up for him. It’s the young lady who looks ill with a pale face. He had also given her a healing pill made by the Mistress herself.
He said, "My token, drip a droplet of blood to contact me, and I will come to see you once to fulfill your wish. The pill can heal your illness; as for whether you believe it or not, it depends on you."
"I’m in a hurry as I need to find my son and granddaughter, who got separated from me. Thank you for saving my life. I shall repay you as long as you call me with that token."
Tan Huangyu flew off to find his family without waiting for anyone’s reaction. When the mortals woke up from shock, Tan Huangyu was no longer around. However, they can recognize the bamboo-designed token in the young lady’s hand.
"Bamboo Motif: The Hidden Tan Clan!?"
"I thought that the clan was extinct and exterminated by the Snow Clan!"
"Is this token even real?"
The eldest-looking man in their group took the token from his sister and frowned while examining the token and finally returned it to her.
"It’s real. The Hidden Tan Clan still exists!" freewebnσvel.cøm
"We can finally leave this realm!"
"Didn’t they say that the Hidden Tan Clan left for the mortal realm? We don’t need to stay here anymore."
"But we had offended him; will he help us leave this realm?"
"If only we hadn’t attacked him before, he might help us."
The young lady who had received things from Tan Huangyu was delighted instead. The reward from the senior was given to him instead. Now that she had heard from her brother that Tan Huangyu was from the Hidden Tan Clan, she understood the reason why, despite being a cultivator, he hated the Snow Clan. If it’s someone from the Hidden Tan Clan, it’s understandable that they won’t be servants of the Snow Clan, as the Hidden Tan Clan was something that is rumored to be destroyed by the clan of snow.
"Brother, they will definitely help us. However, for now, let’s make the preparations. Once Father and Mother return together with the other elders, we should inform them what happened," said the young lady who had received the rewards from Tan Huangyu.

Back to the situation of Tan Bingyu and Tan Shenyu...
The two of them had found a lot from their clan. As expected, it seems that the clan member who had come with them was transferred to this mountain together with the rest of the Hidden Tan Clan. While saving the others, the father and daughter finally realized whose territory they were in and were especially careful with the original people of this world.
Tan Bingyu and her father just found a hidden cave and used it to gather the members of the clan who succumbed to the cold after falling unconscious due to the teleportation of their group from this realm. They were especially careful as they realized that this land or this icy mountain itself was something under the jurisdiction of the Snow Clan. It’s one of the ice mountains within the snowy mountain ranges in their possession. They cannot be caught in this place.
Inside the cave, Tan Bingyu, who learned a bit of medicine thanks to following her mistress, was able to save her clansmen whom they found. Tan Bingyu was cooking a pot of soup. Thanks to her mistress’s habit of storing food ingredients and condiments in her inventory, they were not able to cook a simple meal in such a cold and desolate place.
Tan Shenyu was on guard, looking out of the cave for any kind of danger that might be lurking in such a white world. They wanted to look for more people, but with the sun suddenly setting, they had no other choice but to find a place to rest for the night. The old man hadn’t been found by them yet, and most of those they had saved were weakened because of being buried in snow for a few hours. They even found some who had died in their sleep, and their bodies were solidified by Tan Bingyu to blend with this world of ice.
Tan Bingyu, holding two bowls of soup, said, "Father, eat while it is still hot. Let’s rest for now. We can continue looking for a way out tomorrow instead."
"Thanks, Bing’er. But indeed you are right. It is a bit impossible for us to break through this place after the sun has descended," Tan Shenyu said as he received the bowl of soup and took a sip to warm up his body.
"It’s delicious!" He said.
Tan Bingyu smiled and said, "Of course it is. I’ve added a few mutated beast meats in it. Father, rest for tonight. In this kind of cold place, my physique is the strongest. I will guard tonight."
"Alright. I will leave it to you, Bing’er. For some reason, this place is suppressing my abilities. It might not only be me," said Tan Shengyu as he glanced at the other members of the clan.
Tan Bingyu said, "This place might have been covered in an array that suppressed all other elements but ice elements. That’s why falling here makes it hard for others to immediately wake up. We’d better find the core of the array formation to leave this place as soon as possible."
"You are right," said Tan Shenyu.

On the other hand, in the middle of this huge formation on this ice mountain, a small mansion can be found. In that mansion, a lady looking like someone in her thirties, similar to that of Tan Huangyu, was living in the middle of nowhere. In her hand is a formation disc that notified her of the intruders. There is also another lady who looks older than this woman and seemingly someone in her fifties, coughing as if she were ill.
Cough. Cough.
This old woman asked, "How is it, Shu’er? Did that bastard brother of yours come over again? Cough. Cough."
"Mother! Please drink your medicine," said the lady in her thirties, an old lady called Shu’er.
Her full name was Xue Shuren. She is a member of the Snow Clan who is married to the Hidden Tan Clan. Because she was captured and was told by the Snow Clan to be dead, her husband had almost gone insane. As for the sickly old lady, this person is her mother-in-law, a former Jindan realm cultivator who had suffered from a chill within her body, causing her original realm to fall to innateness. The old lady is Tang Yuyi. She is the wife of Tan Huangyu, who stayed to block the Snow Clan, buying enough time for the rest of the Hidden Tan Clan to escape.
Old Lady Tang Yuyi asked, "What did that bastard brother of yours want this time?"
Xue Shuyi bit her lips and finally said, "He wanted me to remarry."
"Is that bastard insane?! This old lady isn’t even dead yet!" exclaimed Tang Yuyi.
