Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 815: Commotion at the Hall
After Yue Xuexia placed the small pill box on the table, the Stargazing Tower’s owner, Pei Xiu can barely move his eyes away from it. He had the feeling that whatever it is that is in this small box was something he needs the most, the right and is most likely capable of saving his father.
Pei Xiu didn’t grab the small box right away and asked politely instead.
He said, "Can I check on it?"
"Go ahead," said Yue Xuexia as she sipped her tea.
The owner of the Stargazing Tower carefully picked up the small box and slightly opened it revealing a high grade pill. According to its scent and luster, this pill had the effects of adding on vitality. As per his request of extending lifespan this pill had a similar effect. It’s a longevity pill with the lowest life extension. This can only extend one’s lifespan for three years.
Pei Xiu recognized the pill and exclaimed, "This is...!? Longevity Pill?!!"
"Yes but it can only extend one’s life for three years which can fit your description of downpayment," said Yue Xuexia. "Is this enough?"
"It’s enough. It is... But do you have something that can extend one’s life a hundred years or so?" Pei Xiu asked.
The Moon Goddess said, "First you must give me what I want. Only then we would be able to talk about the others."
"Of course! Of course, tomorrow I will have all the information for the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode to Miss Yuelei’s place. As for the other information, please give me three days to gather everything. We will definitely get all the information Miss Yuelei wanted!" The Stargazing Owner, Pei Xiu declares and suddenly remembers he didn’t know where this customer lives.
He can only ask, "Miss Yuelei, can I ask where you live? So we can deliver directly to your house."
"The newly made courtyard at the outskirts of the town. North Direction," said Yue Xuexia.
Pei Xiu remembered this and prepared some sweets as a gift for the Moon Goddess. He also plans to see her off when suddenly at the entrance hall of his tower. A commotion was taking place with lots of people gathering.
"What is wrong? Why are these people gathering here?" Pei Xiu asked.
One of the guards in the hall had come to report to him.
"Tower Master, something had gone wrong. The guest from the Thousand Vines sect started grabbing children saying that they are not children. One of the children cut off the hand of the guest from the Thousand Vines Sect," the guard said.
The moment Yue Xuexia heard about this her eyes narrowed dangerously making Pei Xiu and the others near her feel her murderous intent. It was so potent that it also affected them. The Moon Goddess ignored them and headed to where the commotion was.

AGH!!!
Meanwhile in the middle of the crowd a middle aged man wearing a green-white ancient robes with vines pattern at the edge was now crying out with his leg arm missing the scent of blood spreading in the area. The other two young disciples are supporting this man. One female and one male disciples, if the Moon Goddess’s foster son was here, he would immediately recognize these two young disciples. They are Daoist Cui and Daoist Qin from Ancient ruins and the middle aged man who lost his hand is none other than their master.
"You! How dare you cut off this old man’s hand!?"
The one who cut off his hand was none other than the Blue Lotus Flower Spirit, Yue Huashui holding a sword artifact.
Though he can fight without a sword, after he had grown his master had started teaching him sword for protection. After all, being exposed is no different than telling others that they are human children, but sentient flower spirits of Lotus flowers. Lotus flower is one of the flowers in the world that had great effects in medicine. Because of this, their kind was hunted and human cultivators loved picking them up.
But their Master is different, though she also likes to pick up flowers, she loves to nurture them. All she wanted from them was to give her some seeds for planting lotus flowers without intelligence as a hobby and sometimes used for medicine. She never forced them to give her anything and even helped them get promoted, even treating them as her own children.
This human cultivator was too much. They were only playing around doing some shopping at the tower when suddenly someone grabbed Yue Huaxue who had the mildest temper among them siblings wanting to take her away. Thankfully, Yue Zhiya noticed and stopped the old man. In anger, Yue Huashui cut off this man’s left arm.
"Master!" The two disciples of the Thousand Vines Sect call as they help their master up.
"You two! Capture these brats for me. I’m going to turn them into medicines!" said the middle aged man. "These children are all sentient lotus flowers. They are treasures that are not weaker than ginseng!"
However, none of his disciples followed his orders. To take away someone in front of the crowd is no different than theft. Moreover, since the children had successfully entered this tower unhindered meant that they had a master.
"Master, this is not good. Since they can enter the tower, someone must have taken them inside," said Disciple Cui.
The middle aged man said, "Who cares! Go grab them! I will just pay their master!!"
However, before this middle aged man could react, someone kicked him from behind and flew face first on the ground. In front of the children, when everyone looked up to see who dared to kick someone from the Thousand Vines Sect, they saw a young woman with half of her face hidden within a veil. Even though she looks ordinary, her demeanor alone makes it hard for others to stare at her for too long.
The Moon Goddess said, "Trying to touch my children. You do not want to live, old things."
"Mom! (Mommy!)(Aunt!)"
All of the four children had run towards Yue Xuexia signifying her standing as the seniors of these little guys. Moreover, what scared others was that they couldn’t see through her veil and her cultivation. This means her identity is not an ordinary one.
"You bitch! How dare you kick me!?"
Hearing this dead old thing called her bitch, annoyed the Moon Goddess. Everyone was stunned by the sudden spread of murderous intent that suppressed all of them.
Her cold voice resounds in the whole hall, "Since you don’t speak human, you don’t need to become one!"
Under everyone’s gaze, her eyes glow with faint purple shade and purple lightning surrounds her and her children horrifying everyone on the spot. She looked coldly at the middle aged man for the last time and snapped her fingers. The white lightning around her turned to phoenix shape and attacked the middle aged man. After the man was struck with lightning all that was left of him was a pile of black ashes and even soul was exterminated with it. The one Yue Xuexia had used is the Tribulation Lightning she had been saving in her body after every tribulation of hers.
Seeing the man turned into ashes as soon as the lightning had hit them, everyone was terrified. However, they have some guesses from which family this young lady had come from. After all, a family that can wield lightning as their ability, there is only one in the whole Immortal World.
Yue Xuexia coldly glanced at Daoist Cui and Daoist Qin who was frozen in fear seeing how their master had ended up as.
"I’ve spared you life before because I don’t think you are bad. It seems only the two of you have gained freedom. Now that you are free, you can do as you wanted.}
These words only resound in the mind of two people which are Daoist Cui and Daiost Qin. They looked up and met Yue Xuexia’s eyes only to witness it turn to silver in a split second before disappearing. They immediately recognized who this veiled woman was.
Thoughts of Daoist Cui: ’Is she... the Moon Goddess!?’
She turned her head and met shidi’s eyes who nodded at him. The two of them looked at the Moon Goddess and saluted her.
"Thank you so much, Senior!"
Only then did they run away from this place. After Junior Sister Meng and their other Junior Brother escaped from the sect, their master had been bullying them. If not for the protection of the great elder, they would be executed on the spot. After all, their master is the favorite son of their Sect Master. Now they hurried left the tower to send a message to the Great Elder asking the old man to leave with them. It’s better if the three of them leave the sect together than linger in such a rotten place.
After the two had left, Yue Xuexia took away her children and was about to leave. Before she walked through the door, she looked at Pei Xiu.
The Moon Goddess said, "Tower Owner, I will wait for you to deliver what I want tomorrow."
"Miss Yuelei, I will personally send it home. Please don’t worry," said Pei Xiu. Compared to before, he is even more respectful towards her. Like the others he had also mistaken her identity thinking that she is a part of that Regal Clan.
