Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Chapter 242: 242: Successor

As the seniors detained the intruders from the cultivation realm, Yue Xuexia, who fell unconscious after fighting, had a nice sleep all night and woke up the next morning without problems. It seems that the last comatose state she experienced before greatly refined her physique after the second level was awakened.

As the sun rose from the horizon the next morning, Yue Xuexia happily went to the kitchen of her presidential suite. She started to bring out some meat from the sea monsters they killed and was placed in the system inventory. She had made a lot of dishes, as this is something she had promised Taiyang and Shen Jueyang before.

As the scent of food spreads inside the suite, three guest room doors open abruptly, revealing two men and one female sniffing around while half asleep. It seems that Yue Xuexia woke up ahead of the three of them. As for Taiyang and Shen Jueyang, who actually didn't need to sleep, they were meditating to regulate the qi in their bodies, checking the current state of their vessels.

Yue Xuexia welcomed the three with a smile.

"You guys woke up. I haven't finished the fish stew yet. Well, the rest had been served. Let's eat what was served first."

The three had already taken their seats and served themselves. Even Tan Bingyu was eating a lot this time. Yue Xuexia ate at her own pace and smiled at them, enjoying her cooking. Just in a while, the last dish also entered the stomachs of the two men, Taiyang and Shen Jueyang.

In the living room, the four of them rested to digest what they ate and naturally started a conversation.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Sister Bingyu, you've stayed until the end. What happened after I fainted?"

"We won the war and the invasion had stopped. The rest of the sea monsters and mutated marine animals had retreated. According to the seniors, the God of Sea had made a vow not to kill mortals indiscriminately. Only for the mortals though, the cultivators flying above or entering the sea or water areas still need to be careful. After all, once those sea monsters were offended, they might start another invasion."

"Nothing can be done. Compared to the land, the seas are wider, and this means their population is bigger than those of us who live on land," said Yue Xuexia. "Sister Bingyu, can you help me send some things to my grandfather? Tell him to use them for the Xia Clan as resources."

A spatial ring she made with some gemstones and runes was given to Tan Bingyu. Inside it were some pills she made, immortal herbs, and some peak Nascent Soul Sea Monster bones and skin. After receiving the ring, Tan Bingyu immediately left the suite and headed to where Senior Xia Lianyu was.

After Tan Bingyu left the suite, Yue Xuexia suddenly looked at the two men beside them and asked, "Yangyang, Jueyang, there is something I wanted to ask of you."

"Go ahead," said Shen Jueyang.

Taiyang added, "Just ask away."

"The cultivation techniques, my physique, and those skills. That was something you chose and given to me, right?" asked Yue Xuexia.

A frown appeared on Shen Jueyang's face and said, "No. The only thing I have control of is material things like money, assets in the mortal realm, and some cultivation years. The techniques you got were something the system matched to what is most compatible with you."

"Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that those techniques you got from the sign-in system. I heard that this world has the legacy of the moon goddess. In the first place, that system we gave to you was something this world had given to us. There are other hosts before you, but most of them died from greed or because we had enough of their selfishness," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang was stunned when he heard Taiyang's words and mumbled, "Moon Goddess's Legacy? What do you mean by this Taiyang?"

His face suddenly turns serious, and there is urgency flashing within those crimson-gold eyes. It seems that the Moon Goddess had become an obsession he couldn't control.

Taiyang said, "Calm down. I will talk about it right now. Xue'er, what I am about to say right now might have something to do with your current abilities."

"Okay. I will listen carefully," said Yue Xuexia.

Only when Yue Xuexia spoke did Shen Jueyang wake up from his strange state and carefully look over to where Yue Xuexia was seated. Unlike his nervous state, Yue Xuexia just gave him a smile, though she looked a bit confused.

Shen Jueyang said, "I can't tell you much about the Moon Goddess. It's the same as our background. Knowing too much will just put you in great danger."

"Don't worry. I won't ask anything I can't know. Just tell me what I am allowed to know instead," said Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang felt a bit uncomfortable with Yue Xuexia's words and couldn't help but ask, "Are you not interested in our origins or our identities, Xue'er?"

These words of Taiyang were something that was in the mind of Shen Jueyang as well. Though Yue Xuexia doesn't treat them as strangers, there is still a clear line between them and her. That's why Shen Jueyang wanted to know the answer to this question as well.

Yue Xuexia said, "To say that I am not interested is incorrect, but I also don't want to put my loved ones in danger. Between curiosity and my loved one's safety, I choose the latter. Moreover, you can't stay in this world, right? In the end, you will leave my side as well. So there is no need to get too attached."

The smile on Yue Xuexia looked beautiful, but Taiyang and Shen Jueyang could feel the coldness in the depths of her silver eyes. This is something that she can control. But is it something the heavenly dao had placed in her? It's a seal that locks all her affection for the opposite sex. Once her emotions have gone beyond friends, the seal in her will is locked in all of it until she never feels what love between two people is.

An oath to the heavens is hard to break. This involves the dao and the laws of the divinity. Unless Yue Xuexia breaks free from the restrictions of this world, the seal in her heart will remain, and any affection beyond friends that a man has shown or given to her will be something she can never understand at her current strength.

This reaction rendered the two men speechless, as it wasn't hard for them to understand this reasoning. Moreover, Yue Xuexia's words were true. It was their plan to leave this Exiled Star as soon as the main body gathered enough faith to regain his divinity and once again ascend as an immortal.

"Damn, Heavenly Oath!" grumbles Taiyang, and Shen Jueyang's thoughts seem to be quite similar to this as well.

The merits he gains through Xuexia and the system are the only things that help him cure his injured soul. That's why they shouldn't have gotten too attached to Yue Xuexia. It was just too late for these two, as they had long treated Yue Xuexia as their own.

The silence in the room was deafening as the two suddenly stopped talking after hearing Yue Xuexia's answer. Their aura had become quiet and depressing as well, making Yue Xuexia even more confused about why these two were acting this way.

She decided to break the silence and said, "How about we talk about the techniques and skills I got from the sign-in system first?"

Cough!

"Okay. The sign-in system wasn't completely in our control. You can think of us as moderators. Except for not special things like material things that can be bought, the techniques and skills you got from it were something you got and based on," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang said, "The Yin Moon Physique, the Moon Lotus Dance Sword Technique, and the Moon Severing Fan were something the system had given to you. These three things only have one thing in common."

"The Moon Goddess? Is this her physique, techniques, and weapon?" asked Yue Xuexia. "But I don't know her at all; why did the system give it to me?"

"Because you are compatible with it, and it seems that you are chosen as her inheritor as well. So, it can be said that her, the Moon Goddess's legacy, had been given to you by the system," said Taiyang.

A frown appeared on Yue Xuexia's face, but it was more because of the discomfort provided by confusion.

"What is the connection of the Moon Goddess to our world?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang said, "We still haven't found out about the connection between her and this world. But her legacy indeed exists in this world. According to a sea monster that originally came from our world, they and the legacy of the moon goddess fell to this star after a space distortion appeared out of nowhere."

"Space distortion can be random or intentional. I still haven't found the answer in this case. However, if Taiyang's words are correct and the legacy of the Moon Goddess truly exists in this world, then... you are most likely chosen to become her successor," said Shen Jueyang.

Yue Xuexia asked, "But why would she choose me?"

"Well~ that is something we don't know about, and it's still under investigation. But don't worry much about the Moon Goddess," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang said, "Just use your powers as you will; you are different from her and will not become her. But those skills and techniques are something that is yours now. No need to hesitate at things that have become yours, Xue'er."

"For now, let's say I will accept this explanation," said Yue Xuexia.

Their conversation had lasted long enough that Tan Bingyu had returned from her task. But this time she didn't return alone, and there was someone following her.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, I have returned."

"Thanks for the hard work, Sister Bingyu. You can rest." Yue Xuexia's words changed in the middle as soon as she saw the one that appeared with her Sister Bingyu.

Yue Xuexia said, "Why are you here again, old man? I don't want to do any volunteer work anymore." She actually considered the battle at the seashore as charity work.
