Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 398: Asking for Permission

The sudden laughter from the veiled beauty was simply attractive. Moreover, Yue Xuexia had been too detached from anyone in this city and could be said to be a homebody who rarely came out. She loved to live in her own world, farming, calligraphy, playing music, pill refinement, and artifact refinement. She had done almost anything that made her stay inside her house.

Though she would come out occasionally, that was only to gather materials or buy food. For some reason, she is not leaving the Heavenly City, as if waiting for someone to come for her. Many of those who met Yue Xuexia could somehow guess who she was waiting for. That’s why, despite the beast riot looming over the Heavenly City, she still hasn’t left.

Yue Xuexia’s eyes narrowed with a smile, making her already phoenix-shaped eyes seductive. Even for a lady like Fu Lili, she couldn’t help but blush, much less the other men in the area. The only one unmoved is Mo Jue. With a woman in his heart, no matter how beautiful Yue Xuexia is, she can’t replace his sweetheart. This man’s eyes tend to wander in the direction of Fu Lili.

Seeing this made Yue Xuexia even more satisfied, and she said, "Alright. I agree with your request. However, once we are in the inner region, you are not to pick anything unless I allow you to. If you keep this promise, I will allow you to accompany me."

Fu Lili and Mo Jue didn’t expect Yue Xuexia to agree. Now that they are able to enter the inner region of the fantasy forest, they should be able to treat Qi Shiru.

Yue Xuexia said, "Let’s go."

"Where are we going?" Fu Lili asked. Even Mo Jue was a bit confused.

Yue Xuexia said, "Are you ready to go to the Fantasy Mountain? You need to prepare, and I also need to inform your master about bringing you with me."

It was only then that they remembered that they were entering the inner region of the fantasy forest, which is also the Beast King’s abode. The Beast King is Peak Jindan Realm, but with Yue Xuexia, who had encountered it before, they knew they would be fine. The two of them escorted Yue Xuexia back to the Heavenly Sword Peak, and there they met the supreme elder from before and another elder whom they had only seen today. The sect master and Peak Master Guan were playing Chinese chess when these two elders came over.

Fu Lili excitedly shouted, "Shizun, we’re back... Ah?"

"Shimei?" Mo Jue calls as he sees her shocked and guilty expression.

Only when he saw the sect master, their master, and the two elders did he immediately understand what was wrong. He instantly pulled Fu Lili beside him and clasped his hand, greeting the seniors in the area properly.

"Core Disciple Mo Jue apologizes to the seniors for barging in!"

"Inner Disciple Fu Lili apologized to the seniors for my rudeness! I’m so sorry!"

"You guys, seriously," Peak Master Guan felt a bit helpless at her disciple’s actions and also apologized. "I hope the sect master, supreme elder, and Lord Ruoshen forgive my disciples’ rudeness."

"Haha~ don’t worry. It was our fault for coming without notice," Supreme Elder Yi said and noticed Yue Xuexia following after the two disciples. "Little girl, you’ve come to visit."

"Greetings to the seniors," Yue Xuexia only clasped her hand and didn’t bow.

She might be from the younger generation, but in the cultivation world, only the strong will be respected. She is the strongest in this group; that’s why she didn’t lower her head. The seniors don’t seem to mind this, as they understand this young lady’s standing and background. It’s hard to make her lower her head towards them.

As for why these elders are here. They ended up staying for hours as they had a conversation in preparation for the beast riot. Thus, when Mo Jue and Fu Lili returned to their peak with Yue Xuexia, the two elders were stunned. Yue Xuexia and the new-faced elder met eyes for a split second, making the old senior show a surprised expression upon seeing this young lady.

Because the two of them are in the same realm, Yue Xuexia couldn’t hide her cultivation realm from the old senior. The difference is that she is at the peak of the Huashen Realm, while the old senior is at the mid-stage Huashen Realm. Just as the senior was about to greet her properly, she shook her head lightly, signifying that there was no need for formalities.

Yue Xuexia said, "I would like to ask permission to bring these two with me to the inner region of the Fantasy Forest."

As expected, when she mentioned the inner region of the fantasy forest, Peak Master Guan was surprised. She immediately looked at her two disciples. Mo Jue was calm but avoided meeting his master’s eyes. As for Fu Lili, she is playing with her fingers while hiding behind her older brother. She wanted to glare at these two disciples of hers.

"Don’t you know that’s where the Beast King resides?! Why do you two want to go there?" Bellowed Peak Master Guan at her disciples. She might be angry, but anger at this moment is no different than showing her concern for these disciples of hers.

Fu Lili said, "B-But... Qi Shidi’s wounds can only be healed by third-grade herbs. None of such herbs exist in the market at this time. We can only get it ourselves."

"So, even without meeting Miss Yue, you two planned to enter the inner region?!" Questioned their master, Peak Master Guan Yueyi.

Mo Jue and Fu Lili, who had this in mind, flinched under the enraged voice of their Shizun. This time, they can only lower their heads in guilt. They actually don’t want to lie, as that’s what they plan to do.

Yue Xuexia said, "Please do not worry, Peak Master Guan. Isn’t it better if I am with them instead? Their survival will be better if I come with them. Moreover, I was planning on replenishing my stock of herbs. I plan to go there alone even if I don’t bump into your disciples."

"But... will you be alright bringing them with you?" Sect Master Yuyan asked worriedly. After all, he didn’t know the realm this child possessed.

Yue Xuexia said, "The Beast King is a little cutie. As long as I can exchange some pills for it, it would allow me to take a few herbs. It won’t mind bringing me these two."

"That’s not what..."

The Sect Master was cut off by Elder Ruoshen’s words, who said, "They will be alright. Let them go with her."

"Well, if the Senior Brother says so," said Supreme Elder Yi. He then looked at the two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Mo Jue and Fu Lili. "Go ahead and return soon. We still don’t know the exact day the Beast Riot will arrive. Be careful."

"Since I am willing to come out, of course it won’t be today," said Yue Xuexia.

It was only then that they remembered that Yue Xuexia is a diviner. There is no way she won’t know when the beast riot will arrive. Mo Jue and Fu Lili, after receiving a few warnings from Peak Master Guan, leave with Yue Xuexia and descend the Three Swords Peak to head to the fantasy forest with just the three of them.

The seniors couldn’t help but stare at Yue Xuexia’s receding figure. In reality, they are still worried as they couldn’t see through the cultivation realm of the little diviner.

Elder Ruoshen said, "Stop staring. You won’t be able to see through that young lady. You can’t even see through my realm, much less hers."

"What do you mean, Shixiong? Is she...!!" Supreme Elder Yi, who knew about the realm his senior brother had, was stunned and once again looked in the direction where the three had gone.

"She is more powerful than I am. Even if the beast riot arrives today, those two disciples of yours will survive as long as she makes her move," said Elder Ruoshen.

Supreme Elder Yi said, "But... she looks so young... is she truly..."

"I’ve felt her realm as we are both in the same realm. However, she is a lot more powerful than I am. Don’t make an enemy of her," said Elder Ruoshen.

Supreme Elder Yi was speechless as he could only say a few words, "Same realm... for real?"

The Sect Master and Peak Master Guan were a bit confused. They actually didn’t know Elder Ruoshen well, but a supreme elder like Yi calling him senior brother meant that this man was powerful. Seeing Supreme Elder Yi’s reaction, they finally realized something. This senior must be the one Yue Xuexia is talking about, the Hidden Master who is capable of fighting against the Evil Dragon that lives on the cliff.

Gasp!

"S-Senior Ruoshen, a-are you..."

"Don’t spread it. I had no intention of getting involved with the management of the sect. I only want to live an ordinary life," said Elder Ruoshen.

When Peak Master Guan Yueyi and Sect Master Wan Yuyan heard the words ’ordinary life,’ they immediately realized that their guesses were correct. Then, thinking of this senior’s strength and his words saying that Miss Yue is a lot stronger than he meant, that Yue Xuexia is a hidden master herself. They were about to question their life. Why would someone like Yue Xuexia possess such a powerful realm?
