Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 139: 139: Who the hell are you!?

Chapter 139: 139: Who the hell are you!?

Under everyone's gaze, who were witnessing the heavenly-defying scene of the handsome man with long red-orange hair and crimson-gold eyes summoning the sun, they were all looking at the scene of the sun and moon appearing side by side. It was only at this moment that they were able to see a phenomenon where the sky was split into both day and night. Such a surreal scene; it was gorgeous and, at the same time, eerie.

Once the dark cloud dispersed, so did the huge sun. Yet no one could move their eyes in the sky, where both the sun and the moon appeared at the same time. They could hardly forget what they had seen and were questioning what life was like at that moment. Only a few had remained calm. No, instead of saying that they are calm, it is more right to say that they don't know what to say at all.

After all this commotion, a golden light fell from the sky and fell on Yue Xuexia. Under the blessing of the heavens, Yue Xuexia was forced to meditate and accept the rewards for a successful breakthrough. This breakthrough was done by cheating with an immortal emperor's support; there are hardly any immortal emperors ever to exist in the mortal realm. Shen Jueyang is the only one.

Yue Xuexia, who had fallen into a state of meditation, didn't know that almost everyone had kneeled before the appearance of Shen Jueyang, and this includes Tan Bingyu and all of her kinsmen who had seen the event themselves.

"Greetings to the Lord!" They collectively shouted as they lowered their heads before Shen Jueyang.

Shen Jueyang didn't even look at them or stare at Yue Xuexia's current situation. Seeing that she was completely unharmed except that some of the edges of her clothes were burned, Shen Jueyang was relieved.

He said it without looking at anyone. "Continue to serve, Xue'er."

"As you wish, my Lord!"

Under everyone's eyes, this handsome man once again changed in appearance from those they were familiar with, which was Taiyang. It took a while before Taiyang had once again taken over his vessel. When he opened his eyes, he saw the mortals collectively kneeling before him.

He couldn't help but comment, "What is this? Are you kneeling to this grandpa? Stand up! He is gone."

The cultivators in the area looked at one another and peered at Taiyang. Seeing that he was no longer that godly man from before, they stood up, looking so tense that their legs trembled as they moved. It seems that the picturesque scene just now gave them a feeling of incredulity, as if they were dreaming while still awake.

Taiyang, as if reading their thoughts, commented, "It's not a dream. That was real. You should forget it if you can't return to normal. I will have you replaced if you can't even do your tasks completely."

This threat was effective, and most cultivators in the area had returned to normal, at least on the surface. Taiyang, on the other hand, upon seeing that Yue Xuexia is safe, no longer bothers her. Instead, he approached the old man, who fainted. He pressed a few acupoints to forcibly wake the old man. With a deep gasp, Great Elder Xia opened his eyes, his iris darting around from right to left.

GASP!

"Old man, if you are awake, get the hell up already. If you remain here the moment Xue'er woke up, you will get a beating you might never forget in your whole life," said Taiyang.

Great Elder Xia sat up and looked at Taiyang with round eyes. He even lifted an arm and used a finger to point it at Taiyang. With his whole body trembling, he said, "Y-you... Who the hell are you!? Why do you stay by my granddaughter's side!? Bastard, are you a devil?"

"Devil, your ass~," said Taiyang as he pinched the old man's finger pointing at him, making the latter retract his finger.

Hiss~

Great Elder Xia continued to glare at Taiyang, waiting for his answer. This old man was indeed Yue Xuexia's grandfather. She might hate this old thing, but that was only on the surface. He is still her grandfather, and he is the husband of her beloved grandmother. She never had the intention of killing the old man, but wanting to beat him up is another thing. Thus, Taiyang had no choice but to treat this old man the same as the Yue family.

"Stop being rude, old man! How could you point a finger at your age!?" Taiyang said. "I am not joking, old man. If Xue'er sees you when she wakes up with her early innateness stage and her Moon Severing Fan, she will definitely beat you up mercilessly. You don't want to meet your wife looking like a pig head, don't you?"

Xia Lianyu knew that the young lad was not joking. He also noticed that the man from before and the young lad in front of him are different people, yet they have a connection to one another. If not, how could that powerful man from before borrow this lad's body? That was usually impossible without compatibility. He had so many unanswered questions, and he knew that they wouldn't be answered by this young man. He can ask his granddaughter. Sadly, Yue Xuexia was still angry at him, and there was not a huge misunderstanding between the two of them.

The Great Elder Xia said, "I didn't abandon my wife and children! I only left to protect them!"

"No use telling that to me, old man. Plus, Xue'er won't believe you. It would take a while for her to wake up from her meditative state. I will allow you to visit your wife and explain it to her. But don't tell the old lady unnecessary things that involve us," Taiyang said.

Great Elder Xia remained silent. He wanted to say something, but the indifferent attitude of the young man made it hard for the old man to say something. Instead, he just agreed to his advice and stood up from the ground while looking at the RV where his wife was sleeping.

"Please take care of her." He was talking about Yue Xuexia.

Snort!

Taiyang responded, "There is no need to say it. We will take care of her."

Tan Bingyu said this to the Great Elder of the Starfield Sect. "Senior, let this junior send you inside."

"Thank you, little girl," said Xia Lianyu.

The two walked towards the RV while having a conversation.

"Yatou, are you a subordinate of that guy?" asked the old man, Xia.

Tan Bingyu responded politely. "I am Lady Yue Xuexia's secretary. I work for the mistress."

"I see. I think I saw my wife waking up. Let's hurry."

---

Inside the RV, Grandma Hialun had a nice sleep after sniffing the scent of lavender from the scented sachet Yue Xuexia had hanging around her. Lavender has the effect of allowing one to relax and sleep comfortably. Adding to the fact that the scented sachet is a special blend of one of the divine doctors, its effect is close to that of a knockout drug.

Um~

Grandma Hialun slowly opened her eyes, which are now a bit painful and swollen thanks to her crying for a long time. Before she could completely see where she was, a slightly cooled tower gently fell above her eyes, comforting her swollen eyelids with the coolness of the cold towel. She heard a familiar voice lingering near her ears. This is a voice that she only heard in her dreams. The voice of his deceased husband, Xia Lianyu.

Great Elder Xia spoke with a gentle tone, which is more like a whisper instead. "Rest your eyes. You have been crying for such a long time that your eyes are all swollen. You truly love to cry, Lun'er."

Grandma Hialun thought she was still dreaming, but the coolness of her eyes made her realize that this was reality. That was indeed the voice of her deceased husband, which made her abruptly sit up, allowing the towel to fall to her lap as she looked at the man who was sitting beside the bed where she rested.

Even though Grandpa Xia had aged quite a lot due to the loss of his lifespan after divining about his wife, similar features from before still remain. Like those phoenix-shaped eyes that made the handsome old gentleman Xia Lianyu look sly and cold. In reality, he is a warm-hearted man who is only cold on the outside but hot on the inside.

With tears threatening to fall from her eyes again, Grandma Hialun reached out a hand, wanting to touch the face of Xia Lianyu in front of her. She was incredibly hesitant, as she thought that this must be an illusion like her many delusions from before.

Great Elder Xia, as if reading the thoughts of his wife, directly placed his face in the trembling hand of his beloved. "Lun'er, it is truly me. I am back."

Sobs!

Grandma Hialun, upon feeling the warmth that landed on her palm, made her tears fall like waterfalls once again.

"You are alive. You are not dead! Haha~ does this mean you faked your death? Your promise to stay with me was broken. You tricked me. You are a liar. An old bastard!"

In her rage, Grandma Hialun acted like Yue Xuexia. She moved her hand before she decided to listen. In the end, Grandpa Xia had taken a twin slap on both cheeks from her wife. A few punches on his chest and pinches on his arm. Those who were watching from the outside happily listened to the cries of pain of the old man being beaten by his wife, and he couldn't even retaliate against her.

Taiyang, Tan Bingyu, and the others who were watching from the inside were enjoying the scene of domestic violence happening inside the RV. They even prepared some popcorn and drinks as they acted like melon eaters. Their comments were all over the place.

"Oh, that looks painful!"

"Um. He didn't get fully beaten up by his granddaughter, but got badly battered by his own wife."

"Isn't that something he deserves? Who told him to fake his death?"

"Cultivators from the Cultivation Realm weren't good people. They might have indeed threatened him with the lives of his wife and children. There is only him at that time, and to save them, leaving is the only way."

Tsk!

Taiyang commented, "If he had enough strength, a mere sect wouldn't be able to restrain him. He should blame himself for being weaker instead of making excuses like this."

Sigh~

"Not everyone is as strong as you. His choice at that time was already the ideal one," said Tan Bingyu.

"Only the weak give such excuses. For a really powerful person, the only choice they have is to win for success and death for failure," said Taiyang.

Silence descended in the area. The old couple in the RV took a few hours before the domestic violence had ended. Once the old lady calmed down, the old man finally had time to explain everything. They didn't directly eavesdrop, but based on the reaction of Grandma Hialun, she will most likely forgive the old man and accept his explanation. The old couple was now hugging as they reminisced about their old memories when they were still together and spent more time now that they had reunited.
