Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess
Chapter 827: Shan Du
The two maids after welcoming Lei Liye and Huan Li inside were dumbfounded by the powerful qi in this area. There are also lots of unique and fun things in the open area. Like a small garden, a playground and even a small pond used as a pool by the children. However, this time it’s already late in the afternoon and most of the children were inside the house taking a nap together in the nap room. The two young guests were invited to see the Mistress of the place which is the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia.
The puppet maids said, "Please come and meet the owner of the house first."
Lei Liye and Huan Li didn’t mind meeting the owner of the place. After all, they come here to look for people because they are interested in both the scent of food and the joyous sounds of the children’s laughter coming from this courtyard. The puppet maid brought them over to see Yue Xuexia who was in the kitchen making some afternoon snacks for her children before they woke up.
The puppet maid said, "Mistress, these two are the little guests."
The scene of the Moon Goddess moving around in the kitchen with some puppet chefs was what welcomed Lei Liye and Huan Li. The two children were actually stunned when they saw the appearance of Yue Xuexia when she turned to look at the two children.
Lei Liye’s thoughts: ’Except for the fact that she looks younger without any silver hair or eyes, but this woman looks so much like Grandma Empress Yue!’
Yue Xuexia said, "Hello I am the owner of this house. You can call me Aunt Xue. What are your names, little ones?" The gentle gaze and smile on her lips made the children comfortable before her presence.
The two little ones acted like adults and showed mannerisms that didn’t fit their age. They clasp their hands together and formally introduce themselves.
"My name is Lei Liye. I’m 9 years old!"
"I am Huan Li, 11 years old. Pleasure to meet Aunt Xue. We temporarily live in the courtyard next door."
"Nice to meet you two as well. Would you like to eat snacks? My children are currently taking an afternoon nap. Would you like to join them?" Yue Xuexia said with a smile. Despite hearing their names, she remained calm which left the two children confused.
"No sleeping. This prince... Liye is already a big boy!"
"Haha~ alright. How about some snacks then?" Yue Xuexia asked.
Huan Li asked, "Aunt Xue, have you just arrived in this world?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Is it that obvious?" Yue Xuexia said, showing an innocent look. This was enough to convince two children.
It was alright if she couldn’t recognize the surname of Huan, but Lei Clan isn’t something that others wouldn’t have known unless they come from the outside of this world. Yue Xuexia ushers the two children to sit at the table in the kitchen and serve them two plates of souffle bear pancakes, one chocolate flavor and the other is strawberry cream. There is even an ice cream scoop on the side.
The two children had watched the whole process of food making to ensure that no other drugs were put on it. But Lei Liye and Huan Li were already continuously swallowing at the sight of this delicious looking food before them. Most children were weak to desserts after all.
Gulps~
"What is this?" Lei Liye asked.
Yue Xuexia smiled and answered, "Souffle Pancakes. This and the other is chocolate. Have a taste. I will prepare some milk tea for you as well."
The two children didn’t eat right away. Huan Li brought a tool that checked poison only when there was no warning coming that he had allowed his little prince to eat.
"No poison. It is safe to eat," whispered Huan Li, which made Lei Liye smile.
Lei Liye whispered back, "Good. Split both so we can try both flavors."
"Alright," said Huan Li as he grabbed the small knife placed beside his plate. He had cut his pancake into two and placed the one half to his master’s plate and likewise he also took the other half of his master’s pancake to his. Though the plating was destroyed for the children who only know how to eat they didn’t mind and started eating.
The first bite made them question life. How can there be something this delicious in this world? What they didn’t know is that this is a modern civilization’s dessert. Though some ingredients are hard to find, for Yue Xuexia everything that can grow in soul can be planted by her. As for the other materials she can only find something similar in the market place.
Yue Xuexia came back with two cups of slightly cold wintermelon milk tea and served them to the two children who were eating like pigs with creams and chocolate all over their faces.
She said while wiping their faces, "Eat slowly. No one is going to take it away. Here, have some Wintermelon Milk tea. This tastes good as well."
As if a devil had whispered through their ears, Lei Liye and Huan Li stretched both their hands to hold the glass of milk tea. Like before Lei Liye didn’t drink right away as Huan Li still needed to check for poison. So the first sip of milk tea was done by Huan Li.
Huan Li was stunned and immediately took big gulfs after the first taste. "This is so delicious. Milk and tea!! A good combination."
Meanwhile, upon seeing Huan Li okay after finishing half a cup of milk tea, Lei Liye also took a sip. Like Huan Li had enjoyed it as well.
After finishing his first cup, he said to the Moon Goddess, "One more cup, please!"
"Alright~" said Yue Xuexia as she grabbed the glass jar and served the two children another serving of Wintermelon Milk tea.
Only when the children had enough that they were feeling sleepy that Yue Xuexia had sent the two of them to sleep with the other children. What they didn’t know was that while Lei Liye and Huan Li were enjoying their afternoon nap, the seniors who were supposed to be their protectors had almost turned the whole town upside down just to try to find their clan’s little prince, Lei Liye.

Senior Shan Du at the Town Master’s mansion...
His state was not good when he had arrived at Town Master Shan Xu’s mansion. He had been looking for the young prince of the Regal Lei Clan all over the town but couldn’t even find a trace of him. What made him a bit comforted is that the little prince’s aide and bodyguard had also disappeared with him.
"Town Master! Help me find the little prince, Lei Liye! He had suddenly disappeared this morning!" Shan Du said as he barged into the town master’s place.
Like before he never cared about the standing of this town master. Though he had some connections and came from the same clan as he is, he still looked down on him. After all, the latter is so old yet the two of them had the same realm despite him being younger by a few hundred years. However, Shan Du never thought that the next time he would meet this town master, everything about him had changed.
Seeing a clean looking man in his thirties playing chinese chess with a little boy that looks so much like someone from the Pei Clan, left Shan Du speechless especially when he tried to sense their realm only to be suppressed by their neutral aura.
Ugh~
"Aren’t you that one? The protector of this batch of younger generations from the Lei Clan. What are you doing here?" Pei Ju asked.
Only when Shan Du heard the voice of Pei Ju did he recognize who he was. After all, what changed is only his appearance but not his soul or his voice. He still sounds like a jolly uncle.
Dumbfounded. Shan Du said, "Are you... Clan Master Pei? What happened to you? You look... so young."
"Just think of it as a side effect for my treatment. I will return to normal in a year," said Pei Ju.
Shan Xu, who had just placed a white stone on the board, finally turned his head to look at Shan Du.
He said, "Little Prince Liye is missing? How is that possible? I haven’t seen any of his figures leaving the town."
"But he was just at home and even ate breakfast together with the others. After lunch he and his guard, Huan Li, disappeared," Shan Du said.
Pei Ju frowned while holding a black stone and said, "Maybe they were only playing somewhere else. Some areas in this town are protected by formations and barriers. How would you be able to sense them if they are just in one of those houses?"
"Lao Pei is right. How about you wait until after dinner? If they still haven’t returned by then, then we will go with you to find them outside the town," Shan Xu said.
Seeing that the two in front of them were both seniors, he can only grit his teeth to agree. Moreover, they were stronger than him. How did they suddenly become king in just a few days? This is simply unbelievable!
Shan Du said, "Then if the prince doesn’t return tonight, I will ask the seniors for help."
After leaving the town master’s place, he immediately grabbed the communication orb and reported to the clan. Shan Xu and Pei Ju were actually watching as Shan Du left the mansion.
"What would you do if he reported you?" Pei Ju asked.
Shan Xu said, "I have the princess’s backing. They won’t make a move on me."
"Tsk! Lucky old bastard!" Pei Ju said.
