Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 405: Fantasy Forest’s Inner Region

After the completion of the trial on the Sword Path, the Sword God, Huashen Rong, finally found his successors and no longer cared about the others. As for the extra rewards, they were given to Yue Xuexia to pass on to those who completed the trial. As for what happened after that, he no longer cares. Yue Xuexia, as per the request of the two remaining head disciples of the Heavenly Medicine Sect and the Heavenly Flame Sect, sent them out of the inheritance altar and appeared in the real inner region of the fantasy forest.

The inner region of the fantasy forest is full of immortal herbs and immortal fruits. It was like a garden of the immortals. Everything in it was valuable. However, as beautiful as this place is, a more hidden danger lurks. Hou Wen and Di Lou looked around with their guards up. They were indeed surprised that the inheritance altar does exist in the inner region of the fantasy forest. Except for the fact that the exterior of the inheritance site is like a rundown, ruined temple covered in moldy walls and tall grasses.

The Heavenly Medicine Sect’s head disciple, Di Lou, commented, "No wonder no one noticed this inheritance site. The building itself was in ruins, and it looked haunted."

"Even so, the benefits of the sword path and the sword pillar will be useful to any clan, especially the Heavenly Sword Sect. So I guess this inheritance site will fall into the ownership of the Heavenly Sword Sect," said the head disciple of the Heavenly Flame Sect.

Di Lou said, "That might not be the case. Have you forgotten who appeared on the inheritance site before us?"

"You mean... the goddess? But isn’t she on the same side as the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Hou Wen is calling Yue Xuexia a goddess after they had witnessed her fighting against the owner of the inheritance altar, the sword god, and contending against him. This shows that Yue Xuexia’s realm is far above theirs, and she was even the youngest among them. Moreover, Di Lou didn’t correct Hou Wen, as he himself felt the same thing.

Di Lou said, "She is a guest. However, to say that she is on their side might not be correct. She is that powerful, but she doesn’t seem willing to help us fight against the beast riot. She is only lending minimal help to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I hear this is because of Senior Sister Tan from years before. The Three Swords Peak’s former head disciple before Meirei was her."

"What did I say wrong? Isn’t Tan Bingyu from the Heavenly Sword Sect?" Hou Wen said.

The head disciple of the Heavenly Medicine Sect recalled the situation of Tan Bingyu and the Hidden Tan Clan from before.

"No, she isn’t anymore. Don’t you know about how the Hidden Tan Clan disappeared in the Cultivation Realm?" Di Lou asked.

Hou Wen looked bewildered but still answered, "Didn’t they get betrayed by the Snow Clan and were almost exterminated?"

"That time... The Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t lend the Hidden Tan Clan help at that time, and Tan Bingyu left the Heavenly Sword Sect to protect her clan. It can be said that the current Tan Bingyu is no longer connected to the Heavenly Sword Sect. That’s why Meirei became the new head disciple of the Three Swords Peak," said Di Lou.

Hou Wen said, "Then the divination from before was only a thanks to the Heavenly Sword Sect for taking in Tan Bingyu before? Is that why she left after the divination was made?"

"Exactly. Now the Heavenly Sword Sect can no longer use Tan Bingyu’s name against the Goddess. The karma between the Heavenly Sword Sect and Tan Bingyu is now no more," said Di Lou. "If only they had at least lent a helping hand to let the Hidden Tan Clan escape to the mortal realm that time, the Goddess would be on their side."

Hou Wen said, "Hey! Behind you!"

When Di Lou turned around, he was stunned to see Yue Xuexia, Mo Jue, and Fu Lili come out. It was unknown to these two that Yue Xuexia had come out of the Inheritance altar with Mo Jue and Fu Lili. The two were unexpectedly silent when they heard the content of their conversation. Just the fact that Yue Xuexia isn’t denying these words makes it seem like the truth.

Yue Xuexia ignored them and walked past the two. Mo Jue and Fu Lili told them about the other two who were left behind inside.

Mo Jue said, "Senior Brother Wan and Young Lord Lin will take a while before coming out. The senior is teaching them something."

"Senior said they will come out on their own once they are finished. Do you want to come with us and pick some Immortal Herbs?" Fu Lili asked.

Di Lou asked, "Is it all right with the goddess if the two of us come with you?"

"Yes. However, you can only pick the ones she allowed you to take," said Mo Jue.

Di Lou and Hou Wen agreed without problems. In a place that looks gorgeous yet full of danger, having someone as powerful as Yue Xuexia is like an extra life itself. The four of them followed Yue Xuexia without question. If they saw a rare herb, but Yue Xuexia ignored it, they didn’t dare pick it up. When Yue Xuexia suddenly stopped walking, they finally appeared in a place full of common yet healing herbs. Everyone was delighted when they saw such a huge field.

Yue Xuexia spoke as a small basket appeared in her hands. "Pick every two strands per three. Keep the roots if you have no plans to replant. Don’t go to the center of the field."

After saying these words, Yue Xuexia walked ahead of them and started picking some herbs with the highest potency of healing effects. She doesn’t need it and plans to give it to Fu Lili.

Yue Xuexia said to Fu Lili, "Don’t worry about the third-grade healing herb. We can find it in this place. Even if we don’t find one, I will treat Qi Shiru instead."

Only then did Fu Lili and Mo Jue recall that Yue Xuexia is the Divine Doctor. Hearing her promise, they now pick the herbs for the sake of their sect. Di Lou and Hou Wen followed Yue Xuexia’s words as they picked the herb. But for Hou Wen, who had no sense of direction. He accidentally stepped into the center of the herb field.

It was already too late when Di Lou noticed he was gone.

"Stupid Wen! Don’t go in that direction!" shouted Di Lou.

Rumbles~

But Hou Wen had already stepped into the center of the herb, and the whole area started shaking. Yue Xuexia looked at Hou Wen with a helpless look. After the rumbling, Mo Jue and the others notice a big mouth full of sharp teeth under Hou Wen. It’s a big flytrap lily. But in this world, it’s a demonic plant called a flesh-eating flower.

Mo Jue warned, "Look out below!"

"What the fuck!?" exclaimed Hou Wen as he used his flying artifact to dodge the big mouth.

Fu Lili shouted, "That thing can jump! You must not fly. You must attack it!"

"Oh, shit!"

"Eat this!!"

Di Lou took out his whip and used it to drag away the huge flower and prevent it from eating Hou Wen. Hou Wen, on the other hand, snapped his fingers and created firebirds around him, which he used to feed the devil plant.

Yue Xuexia sighed and brought out her fan. Shen Jueyang commented, {That’s a Jindan realm Devil Plant. Such a small and ordinary fire can’t hurt it at all. It seems to have mutated to become fireproof as well.}

In the end, it was Yue Xuexia who made a move and cut the flesh-eating flower into pieces, freeing Hou Wen from death. Only a few white flashes were seen by everyone, and the flower was minced into small parts. She didn’t unroot it, though. She flew and dragged Hou Wen by his back collar and threw him to Di Lou. Yue Xuexia noticed that this man didn’t do it intentionally and is most likely the type to get lost on his own.

Yue Xuexia said, "Watch over him. If he strays from my instructions one more time, I’ll feed him to the plants instead. Also, prepare to leave; we have caused a commotion, and the spirit beasts will be coming over soon."

"Yes!" The four said as they hurriedly prepared to leave.

Yue Xuexia, on the other hand, descended at the center of the field and gave the roots of the flesh-eating plants some of her wood qi. After her grandmother had awakened her ancient elf bloodline, those who are connected to her by blood were given the affinity to control wood elements.

She usually only used this wood qi when planting her immortal herbs, nurturing it to the highest level. It was also thanks to this ancient elf bloodline that she could somehow read the emotions of the plants and knew that this flesh-eating flower was hibernating, and if not for Hou Wen stepping on its head, it wouldn’t have attacked.

She whispers to the poor plant. "Sorry. Grow well with this qi."
