Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 748: Caught off guard

Ru Yunlan had just punched the last demonic enemy that jumped on him. His fist and clothes were covered in the blood of his enemies. He was a bit out of breath with his ragged breathing echoing in the quiet area. He had never felt so fatigued that his knees wavered and fell on the small piles of corpses behind his seat. He was surrounded with all kinds of corpses around him. They were all killed by his punch which is why his fist turned crimson after being soaked in blood for quite a long time.

Pants~

"Senior, how long do I need to do this?" Ru Yunlan asked in thin air.

A few seconds later, the air trembles and the transparent figure of the Death God’s soul remnant appeared before him. It was under this soul wisp who calls himself the Primordial God of Death that he was doing this kind of hunting for evil beings as training. His life has been in danger multiple times in this journey. After all, most of his opponents were not only in great numbers but also had a realm higher than his current Yuanying realm. He was told to kill beings who were not only well known for their cruelty but also with how ruthless these beings fight.

However, it was also thanks to this that his fighting capabilities and ability to survive had become enhanced. He is now capable of using Death Qi to kill an early Huashen realm cultivator if he fought hard.

{Not bad. Once you rested, gather the Death Qi in their bodies and refined it like how I taught you. Never directly absorb this kind of unrefined Death Qi or you would become a real demon in the end.}

The death god’s soul fragment instructed. He and the artifact spirit of his death scythe had been watching the young man change from someone who wasn’t used to killing to someone who can kill without batting an eye. It was unknown when a demonic cultivator pretended to be dead and sneak near Ru Yunlan. This man took the opportunity to attack from behind when he thought that Ru Yunlan was not looking.

"Die, Demon!"

However, before the knife in the man’s hand stabs Ru Yunlan’s back his head was suddenly detached. All the man saw as his head flew was that slight movement of the young man’s finger. Tainted by his blood he saw a glint of red string under the moonlight and realized that this young man had deployed transparent strings in the area as a hidden weapon.

Ru Yunlan said coldly, "With how loud your heartbeat is, do you think I will not hear it?"

Thud!

The head rolls over near Ru Yunlan’s foot which he unhesitatingly stomps on it, crushing it like a rotten watermelon with an emotionless face. The ability to hear even the slightest heartbeat was taught by his godmother. This is something that was taught to not only him but also to everyone in their group. Afterwards there are lots of villains who love to pretend to be dead just to lower your guard.

The death scythe spirit said to his master, {Master, did you teach the little master how to listen to even the slightest heartbeat? This is an assassin’s ability.}

{His godmother taught him. Not only the he was even taught how to use all kinds of poison as well as how to torture an enemy to get the information he wanted for the shortest time.} The Death God’s soul fragment said.

The death scythe’s spirit felt terrified and said, {Since when did the Goddess of the Moon become this ruthless?!}

After staying with these two for weeks, he had learned about his little master’s family background and special connections. Well, Ru Yunlan has a common and simple family background. If there is something unique, that is his mother is one of the best friends of the Moon Goddess when she was reincarnated in this world as a mortal. There are also small facts that this Moon Goddess is also the Divine Doctor of this era.

The Death God’s soul fragment said, {With how she lived in her previous life and how she died, even the former gentle goddess of the moon would change. By the way, you almost accidentally kill Yunlan, if he went home one day you will definitely meet the Moon Goddess. How about I prepare to melt you for the future?}

{No~, Little Master please save me!}

"Too clingy! Let go!" said Ru Yunlan. "Senior, I’ve finished refining the death qi. Should I absorb it here?"

{No. There is a lake nearby that has history with the river of the underworld. You should be able to sense the afterlife this time. As long as you make a connection with the Underworld, you would be able to command my subordinates.} The death god’s soul remnant said.

Though Ru Yunlan hadn’t seen the afterlife before, according to his mother, that place is too crowded and ruthless to those who deserve to be punished. Learning that this place used to be under the jurisdiction of the Death God and is something he needs to inherit in the future, Ru Yunlan felt some anticipation for it.

Ru Yunlan had already sensed this river his senior is talking about. It was indeed an eerie river whose surroundings were devoid of life. There is nothing alive in this part of the water. Normally, this kind of area was something people absolutely avoided but not for Ru Yunlan the heir of the Primordial Death God. The stillness of the river and silence in the surrounding made him attracted to the place. After all, since he started training his Death Qi he started to hear voices in the area. Most of these voices came from the death or spirits lingering in the area. What annoyed him the most is that he can’t control not listen to the gossips among the dead.

After reaching the eerie river, Ru Yunlan approached the place without hesitation and looked at his reflection on the river. He had longer heard the voices of the water ghosts chatting from within it.

"Look for another fresh meat to scare!"

"Hehehe~ such a young man. Would he cry in fear?"

"Let’s bet. The one who scares him and makes him scream first wins!"

"Deal!"

"This I agree!"

"Let me do that as well!"

These water ghosts were used to having humans coming over in their river due to curiosity and all. This river is special as it possessed qi that enhanced sensory perception allowing even those who can’t see ghosts able to see spirits after being exposed to the smog scattered above the river.

But when the water spirits raised their heads to look at Ru Yunlan, they met his eyes which had turned to crimson at some point. Meeting eyes with one another both were dumbfounded. The water spirits were stunned and bewildered. For some reason, they didn’t dare to avert their eyes, acting foolish as if playing a staring game with Ru Yunlan.

Silence~

Only when Ru Yunlan broke the ice and greeted them that things had turned to worse.

He said, "Hello?"

GYAAAA~!!

"How the hell can he see us!?"

"Did he just greet us?"

"He is looking!"

"Oh my god!!"

"He is so fucking handsome!!!"

Before Ru Yunlan could speak another word, the water ghost or spirits in the river had scattered until he could no longer see even one within the river. The interaction between Ru Yunlan and the water ghosts was so hilarious that both the death god’s soul fragment and the fragment death scythe’s weapon spirit were laughing from behind Ru Yunlan as they witnessed the whole scene.

HAHAHAHA~

Ru Yunlan murmurs, "Am I that scary?"

{Alright enough playing around and moving to the center of the lake to start absorbing the Death Qi you had refined before. Try to digest as much as possible and if you cannot finish absorbing store it at your dantian for future uses.} The God of Death’s remnant soul said.

Ru Yunlan did as he was told to do so. He walked towards the center of the river without falling into the waters and finally sat at the lotus form to start meditating. As soon as he closed his eyes, the Death Qi he had refined and was hidden in his spatial storage had slowly slipped out and Ru Yunlan started absorbing it in his body.

Months had passed as Ru Yunlan absorbed the Death Qi and he was still absorbing when suddenly someone had unexpectedly attacked him catching him off guard.

The death god’s soul fragment and the death scythe’s weapon spirit shouted at the same time.

{Be careful, Yunlan!} {Little Master, look out!}

Whooshs~~

A wave of black thorns had attacked Ru Yunlan from all sides. Feeling the danger and how serious this attack is, that the avatar of Yue Xuexia hidden inside the jade token had protected Ru Yunlan from imminent death.

Thud!

The Moon Goddess Jade Token flashed a golden light and blocked this life threatening attack for Ru Yunlan. This is an attack that caught off guard not Ru Yunlan but also the two spirits that were with him.

A middle aged looking man in dark green ancient robes descends from the sky and looks at Ru Yunlan who barely coughs a bit of blood from that impact before. As for the Moon Jade Token hanging on Ru Yunlan’s waist had slowly broken as it got attacked instead of Ru Yunlan.

This uninvited guest seems to have an original strength beyond the Huashen realm even though his original realm seems to be suppressed in this world.

This man said, "Brat! Give this old man the god’s legacy or else... Snorts~"
