Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 365: Annoyance
Chapter 365: 365: Annoyance
It took a while before Grandma Su came out of those branches. What is more surprising is that the moment she completed her awakening, another heavenly insignia had appeared above the plateau, even dispersing the clouds that the formation had gathered to hide the interior of the place. Due to the second appearance of the heavenly insignia, the Long Clan was summoned to check the area. With the excuse to send them in and check the treasure, the other cultivation clans and sects had pressured the government for a reason.
Unfortunately, the Long Clan is not an ordinary clan but the descendants of the dragon race. Those clans and sects that wanted to use them against the Xia and Yue clans were terrified upon meeting Long Shendi, who had just finished his dao companionship marriage with his wife. His wife had her bloodline transformed into half-dragon using his reverse scale as a catalyst. Other races that married into the dragon race can transform into half dragons using the reverse scale of their counterpart.
Of course, this is something that can only be done once in the lifetime of a dragon, as going to a ritual while using his reverse scale, which is considered the weakness of the dragon race, is something that cannot be reversed once done. It’s a lifetime compliment, as their spouse will share half of the dragon’s lifespan, so they can live for a very long time together.
Long Shendi and Long Sia had finished the ritual and wanted to visit their child and grandchild, only to hear about the situation forced by some cultivators of the human race on their children.
"Leader, a heavenly treasure appeared, and it landed in the Moon Goddess’s blessed land. However, don’t you think it’s unfair that the Xia Clan is hoarding it on their own?"
"That’s right. It’s unfair. They should let us inside the blessed land to look for treasures!"
"How can the Moon Goddess be so unfair? The treasure from the heavens must be shared."
Long Juedi and Ling Wen were both quietly listening to the nonsense big words from these people. They talk big and like to scheme. They were greedy and didn’t fear death. How stupid are these fools? How can they target the Moon Goddess? Even though the goddess is kindhearted, the two men beside her aren’t. If those two learned what these idiots are trying to do, they would definitely be killed on the spot.
"Yeah. Yeah. If you want to seek death, go ahead and shout outside the barrier of the plateau. Once you turn to ashes, I will send someone to gather it for you and send it to your families. You... MPFFT!" said Long Juedi. He had been listening to this kind of annoyance all morning, and he finally had enough.
Ling Wen, who had more patience than him, covered Long Juedi’s mouth before he said more things.
"What the leader meant is that we cannot do anything about the Moon Goddess. If you have some complaints, then you can find her grandfather, the Xia Clan’s god, for complaints. Or do you not think that you can make the Long family move with your words alone, do you? Since when did the family of the protectors have to move just because of a few simple complaints about treasures that weren’t there?"
The smiling Ling Wen made the other cultivators back away. After all, his alias as the smiling devil is not just for show. No one knew how many people had been scammed by his smile, and most of these people had ended up in jail or become crippled. The people in front of Ling Wen and Long Juedi couldn’t help but step back, seeing this smile.
All of a sudden, the smile on Ling Wen became real as he saw the couple coming over at this moment. He had long forgotten how he was covering half of Long Juedi’s face and greeted the couple.
Long Juedi calls, "Grandaunt Long, Granduncle Long, you are back!"
All the cultivators in the area couldn’t help but turn around to look to see the couple. They know that the grandparents of this country’s current leader, Long Juedi, are from the dragon race. After the dragon race had shown itself to the world, Long Juedi no longer hid his horns and scales in his human form.
Because of that, it is easier to recognize what race he is by his appearance alone. After her transformation as a half-dragon was completed, Long Sia also grew a horn. But compared to the big one on Long Shendi’s head, hers looks more like a crown.
The cultivators in the area saluted towards the dragon couple. "We greet the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Lady!"
Long Shendi waved his hand and didn’t literally respond to their greetings. After all, in his eyes there are people who gathered here to make things hard for his grandson. Unfortunately, his son was still in the village undergoing training under the Crimson Dragon King after he was finally accepted by him as his second disciple after Xia Lianyu.
"I heard you came for the treasure of the Moon Goddess. Listen well. Our dragon race will not make a move against the other gods of the country unless they are in the wrong. You wanted to take advantage of my descendants; don’t make me visit your clans and sects for being an annoyance!" said Long Shendi as his golden irises turned vertical as he used coercion to send these people running.
In just a few minutes, all the guests had taken their leave. Long Sia looked at her dying son and Ling Wen, who didn’t notice what was wrong and voiced it out for him instead.
"Xiao Wen, I don’t think my stupid grandson will see the sun the next morning with how securely you hide half of his face like that~," said Long Sia while giggling.
Ling Wen was confused at first and finally turned his head to look at Long Juedi, who reached out a hand weakly, about to roll his eyes at this moment. He immediately let him go and heard a gasp as if a fish had taken a breath outside the water for the first time.
Gasp!
Cough. Cough.
"Oh my god, I thought I was going to die!" Long Juedi complained.
Ling Wen said, "S-Sorry. I kind of... forgot? Hehe~"
"Hehe~ your face. You want to be dead, don’t you?" Long Juedi said. Of course, he was only kidding and got his hair pulled with this sick joke.
"Of course not!"
Seeing the children getting along too well, as always. The couple finally asked what was happening and why those human cultivators were gathering like that, wanting to pressure the Long Clan. Long Juedi and Ling Wen didn’t hide any information and told the couple before them everything that had appeared all this time. They told them all the details about what happened.
Long Shendi, as one of the oldest dragons of his generation, said, "Whatever had appeared that night might not be a treasure."
"Not a treasure? Why do you think so, Grandfather?" asked Long Juedi.
Long Shendi explained, "It would take time for the treasure of heaven to be born. It would first expose itself with an aura one couldn’t help but be affected by. The insignia that appeared that night, you said it’s a tree that is golden in color, including its leaves. I heard about these features, which are similar to my memories. However, this is definitely not a treasure."
"If it’s not a treasure, is it a living being then?" Long Sia asked.
Long Shendi said, "Correct. Phenomena like what appeared that night are similar to the ones I’ve heard before. The oldest world tree, Anastasia, is said to have golden trees, including their leaves. However, it is impossible for it to appear in his world. The oldest world tree was rooted in the immortal world. It can only mean someone connected to the world tree has awakened, and there is only one race connected to the oldest world tree."
"What race is it, Granduncle Long?" asked Ling Wen.
Long Shendi answered, "Ancient Elf Race."
"Elves?! Long Juedi, Ling Wen, and Long Sia were stunned by the sudden existence of the elves.
The only elf they knew was the one that appeared in the international news a few months ago. Moreover, they didn’t know if he had returned to the Moonlight Forest or disappeared somewhere. They didn’t expect that this Elf King had been hiding in the mountain owned by the Xia Clan.
Long Sia said, "Since the location happened to be where the Mistress lives, does that mean this ancient elf had something to do with the Mistress? Do you want me to ask?"
Before restoring her previous life memories, she was a top lawyer who worked under the Moon Goddess. Even though she had become a half-dragon, she had no intention of leaving her workplace, and her husband allowed it as well. Thus, continuing their connection with the Moon Goddess.
Long Juedi said, "Grandma! Make a call. The Moon Goddess should still be at her plateau at this time." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Alright! You need to calm down for a moment! This child..." Long Sia said as she dialed the number of her mistress and inquired about the situation on the other side.
