Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 702: Call
Seeing the three poor men who had now fainted from pain, Yue Xuexia had healed them after tying them up. She lets her godson drag the men as they head towards the area where Han Haerin is. Upon seeing that Han Haerin was safe, Ru Yunlan let out a breath of relief. He approached Han Haerin and checked whether she was hurt. Seeing no visible injuries on her, Ru Yunlan listened patiently as Han Haerin told him the details of how she captured her under her feet and she was so happy during the conversation. Ru Yunlan was also smiling with a doting gaze in his eyes. Yue Xuexia watches them happily.
After a while, Yue Xuexia brought the children and the captured guys towards the entrance, as she felt by now, the battle of Xiao Muen against two people should be finished.
As they arrived at the entrance, they saw Xiao Muen sheathing his sword while the two men were wounded as they leaned on each other seated on the ground.
"You two are not bad." Xiao Muen commented to his two opponents.
The Moon Goddess healed the two as she smiled at Xiao Muen.
She said, "You have mastered the first sword move. You can train the second move now."
"Haha~ that’s good news to hear," said Xiao Muen as he saw his nephew dragging people tied up like a train behind him.
The four adults look like they had seen a ghost when they saw that even their boss and vice leader was defeated. But the fact that the Moon Goddess had appeared, they immediately realized that this mountain is owned. For a goddess like Yue Xuexia’s caliber, a single mountain’s ownership is not surprising.
With a wave of her hands, the ropes which tied the other four had loosen. Seeing these the two immediately supported their boss and vice leader.
Yue Xuexia smiled at them and gave them a few jade bottles full of pills. For them, these pills are also a kind of treasure. There is also the fact that after watching the whole time, after learning that there were people around aside from them they didn’t go for killing right away after feeling that the people they had sensed possessed a weaker cultivation realm than theirs.
The Moon Goddess said, "There is no treasure on this mountain."
"I do think those weird herbs of yours are priceless," Xiao Muen mumbles.
He immediately shut up upon receiving the Moon Goddess’s glare.
Yue Xuexia said to the other group.
"That black mist from before is just a phenomenon from someone’s special physique’s awakening. Not a heaven and earth treasure being born. However, your group has helped me train the children on my side," Yue Xuexia said.
Xiao Muen said, "Oi! Who are you calling a child?"
Ignoring the complaining old man, Yue Xuexia continues to speak with the group of intruders whose lives were spared by her. After all, no one would love people trespassing someone’s property.
She said, "The pills are my payment for these sparring."
The group upon receiving the pill was delighted to salute the Moon Goddess.
"Thank you for your mercy, Goddess!"
They immediately leave the place after sensing that the Moon Goddess is allowing them to leave this place alive. She is a cultivator which is said to be the most powerful in the world. So, by not killing them for entering her property without permission and not killing them that is her mercy. So what if they had to battle the Sword Master, or the others were defeated by two youngsters standing behind the goddess? They are grateful enough that they were given precious pills that can aid their cultivation. Plus, there is enough for all of them.
The night had ended well with the three being able to control their newly learned skills and abilities.
Their days continued like this. Days turned to month, months turned to year. A year had finally passed and Han Haerin was still staying with her godmother, uncle and brother as they trained together. Until one day, Han Haerin received a call from her father saying that Old Master Han, her grandfather had fainted.
It was just a usual morning and Han Haerin had just recently mastered the third sword skill from her cultivation sword techniques. She heard her phone rang and seeing that the one who was calling was her father, she answered the phone with a good mood.
She greeted, "Joeun achimieyo, appa! Eommarang harabeojineun eotteoke jineseyo? Geogi jal jinaego gyesingayo?"
Translation: [Good morning, Papa! How is mother and grandfather? Are you guys doing well there?]
The joyous tone of Han Haerin’s voice resounds from the other side of the phone. A young boy who is barely at the age of ten held the phone while watching at the crib where a beautiful baby girl sleeps.
But thinking about the current situation, he couldn’t continue smiling. He had hesitated for a whole month thinking of his daughter’s happiness. But things at the Han Clan had gone worse, with his body being that as a child, people of the Han Clan could hardly listen to his commands. Those who were spared before had once again started acting like devils, especially this time the old man had truly been sent to the hospital and is currently in ICU.
Han Yoonjun responded to his daughter, "Haerina, chimchakage deureo. Sasir ne harabeojiga ICUe gyesyeo. Uisadeureun simjangmabi rago haetgo, han dal dongan honsusangtaee isseotdago hae. Cheoeumeneun ne hunryeone banghaega doelkka bwa malhaji anheuryeo haesseo. Geunyang choegeune gamun iri tongje bulneungi doeeobeoryeotgeodeun. Naneun ne eommareul jikiryeo choeseoneul dahal subakke eopjiman... Hoesaga got pasanhal sanghwangigo, geu chincheokdeuldo tto munjereul ireukigo isseo. Modeun ge anjeongdoel ttaekkaji sanghwang-eul cheryeohareo doraol su isseulkka?"
Translation: [Haerin’Ah, listen calmly. The truth is that your grandfather is in the ICU. The doctors said it was a heart attack and he had been in a coma for a month. At first I didn’t want to tell you as it would bother you in your training. It’s just that recently things at the clan had gotten out of control. I can only do my best to protect your mom but... the company is about to go bankrupt and those relatives. They are acting up again. Can you return to handle things until everything becomes stable?]
The cheerful and slightly childish mood of Han Haerin had faded after hearing this news. Her smile instantly faded as she tried to calm down her beat heart. She truly didn’t expect something had happened to her grandfather.
Han Haerin upon hearing her father’s fatigue, young voice, she felt bad for him.
So she responded, "Appa, gidaryeo . Jega dasi doraolgeyo. Geonganghaseyo!"
Translation: [Papa, wait for me. I will return there. Take care!]
The call was ended by Han Haerin after speaking some more with her father who keeps apologizing to her. Even though she is indeed upset that she had to go home and halt her training, she still wanted to protect her family, the clan and visit her grandfather. Her tears unconsciously fell in panic and when she turned around Han Haerin was surprised to see her brother, Ru Yunlan.
She calls, "Brother Ru?"
Ru Yunlan gently wipes her tears. After living in Huaxia for a year, Han Haerin is now capable of fluently speaking their language. This man in front of him was the one who had patiently taught him almost everything she didn’t know about this country and they had gotten along so well that they started dating.
"Don’t cry. I will go with you," said Ru Yunlan with a gentle voice.
This made Han Haerin unable to stop the tears she was trying to hold back and jump to hug her man.
Han Haerin said, "Brother Ru~, Grandpa is in the ICU. The clan is in chaos and... those bastards are at it again."
Hugging his lover back, Ru Yunlan comforted her by patting her back.
He said, "Don’t cry. I will help you handle them."
Within this year, Yue Xuexia’s appearance in the company had lessened a lot. Most of the companies are now handled by Ru Yunlan. Because of this, he was deemed as her successor and with Yue Xuexia training him well, he was able to handle everything with dominating presence and authority. Now the world knew that the face that represented the companies under the Moon Goddess’s name was Ru Yunlan. People started calling him the Moon Goddess’s Heir.
On the same day, this couple had sneaked out and flew towards the K country that afternoon. Of course, this didn’t escape the ears of Xiao Muen and Yue Xuexia who lived in the same mansion as the two.
Xiao Muen said, "Two brats who learn to keep secrets! Even the honest Xiao Rin is being influenced by that sly brat! Tsk!"
"With them handling things, it shouldn’t be that hard," said Yue Xuexia as she calmly sips on her milk tea.
Xiao Muen asked, "Will the old man be alright?"
"I gave Xiao Lan a longevity pill a week ago. That should have a use by now." Yue Xuexia said.
Xiao Muen said, "Can’t you just heal the old man yourself?"
"He is running out of lifespan, not truly sick. Plus, he didn’t ask for my help nor did he inform Xiao Rin." The Moon Goddess said.
Xiao Muen said, "I guess the old man didn’t want to make it awkward for his little girl. Truly an old fox."
"Old worry he will live. At least for another ten years," said Yue Xuexia.
