Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Chapter 48: 048: Tan Bingyu (2)



Yue Xuexia stood before the sleeping lady on the bed and whispered,

"I will definitely help you. Believe in me!"

She then produced her Golden Dragon Acupuncture Needles, and although at first, she was hesitant to use them because the information in her head told her that she needed to use yang flame, hers is a yin flame that is fully incompatible with the lady Nine Yin Meridians. She also skillfully controlled her natal fire, which glows in a white shade. Her gold needles were suddenly burning with a white flame.

She intended to ask Taiyang for his flame because, being a man and a cultivator, he had a Yang natal flame, and she knew that using her own to melt her ice would bring backlash upon her during the defrosting process. Because Yin Ice and Yin Flames are both from Yin origin.

Yue Xuexia no longer hesitated as she made the decision, "Whatever happens, happens."

"I will help you." A man's voice and breath touches her ears.

A familiar voice reached Yue Xuexia's ears just as she was going to turn around and beat up the person who dared to do such a thing, but before she could even throw her needles, someone behind her grabbed her waist and caught her off guard.

"Focus on what you want to do. I will lend you my fire." A man's hoarse and deep voice lingers in Yue Xuexia's ears.

Yue Xuexia frowned and called, "System?"

"It's me. Since Little Yang isn't helping you, let me help."

"Thank you!" Yue Xuexia said as she watched her white flame fade and be replaced with a golden red flame. She mumbled, "Golden red flame. How pretty~"

Chuckles~

Yue Xuexia blushed a bit and shook her head. With a flick of her fingers, the golden needles fell on the lady's meridians burning all her clothes.

"Ah. Ah. Don't look!" Yue Xuexia turned around and saw Little Taiyang in his human form. He looks a bit smaller than the man who was supposed to be a head taller than her before. It seems the system left as soon as he lent her his fire.

Taiyang was pouting as his eyes were covered. Moreover, the main body just took over, and it had forcedly take over of his body.

Yue Xuexia said, "Oh! He's gone. Well, he is more helpful than Yangyang."

"I'm only afraid of burning you, okay? Next time I will help you instead of him. I will really do it!" Little Taiyang said.

She closed her eyes and felt the golden flame. For some reason, there is something in her quietly waiting for her to take control. It suppressed itself so as not to burn the woman. Only when Yue Xuexia tried to control it did it start spreading all over the veins and meridians, and the ice in Tan Bingyu's meridians slowly melted. Yue Xuexia could not help but laugh as she pushed him away after turning him around. She still needs to control the flame and help Tan Bingyu fully awaken her physique. She started emitted a thick white mist as ice around her melted completely, but before the frost reached Yue Xuexia, the golden-red flame created a flame barrier that completely shielded her inside before it vanished without a trace. The room itself was long covered in ice, and in the corner, Taiyang was protecting Tan Shenyu.

The lady with long white hair slowly opened her eyes. Tan Bingyu smiled when she saw Yue Xuexia. She pulled in a hug.

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Sister," Tan Bingyu said.

Yue Xuexia didn't know where to put her hands, as the lady was completely naked. Seeing the two men about to approach, Yue Xuexia shouted.

"Stop! Turn around!" Her stern voice stopped Tan Shenyu and Taiyang from approaching and immediately turned around.

Yue Xuexia said, "Sis, Sister. Clothes. You need to wear clothes!"

Tan Bingyu looked down on her body and saw that she was completely naked. She realized that it might have been burned when she was being treated just now.

"Dad, give me clothes and that little brother over there. Get out of the room unless you want to see this lady naked~" Tan Bingyu said.

Taiyang snorted and said, "This lord is not interested." He walked out without hesitation while Tan Shenyu had longed to run out to get her daughter some clothes.

After the two men left, Tan Bingyu smiled at Yue Xuexia and kneeled before her.

"My name is Bingyu, and surnamed Tan, Mistress. I will serve you my whole life. You've woke me up from my nightmare. Without your help, I would just die in that darkness without being able to say goodbye to my father."

"Please stand up. There is no need to kneel," Yue Xuexia said as she wanted to help the elder sister in front of her stand up, but she didn't know where to touch as the latter wasn't wearing anything.

She even felt embarrassed and covered her face with her two hands. She first removed her jacket and gave it to Tan Bingyu to wear while waiting for her father to bring her clothes.

"S-Sister... you wear my jacket first. It's better than not wearing anything!" Yue Xuexia said as she didn't dare open her eyes.

As someone who grew up cultivating, Tan Bingyu laughs at how naive the girl in front of her is, explaining that while embarrassment is one thing, it is not as important as one's life—after all, one might be killed with a single blink of an eye. So who would care if you did not wear anything?

"My little darling, you're too kind," Tan Bingyu said, then mumbled, "too pure."

"That's not true. I'm willing to kill if it's to protect those who I care for," Yue Xuexia said as she put down her hand and looked at Tan Bingyu indifferently as if she wasn't looking at her as a living being

Tan Bingyu was left speechless by the sudden shift in Yue Xuexia. The room had a tense atmosphere that made Tan Bingyu feel uncomfortable for a moment. Yue Xuexia's eyes had such a coldness that Tan Bingyu was unable to comprehend; it seemed as though the young woman in front of her had lost everything once and had only recently managed to regain it after making every sacrifice imaginable. Regardless of how Tan Bingyu chooses to view Yue Xuexia, she remains an ordinary person with a mysterious quality.

Tan Bingyu took a deep breath and murmured with extreme hardship, "S-Sorry."

Yue Xuexia's cold-bloodedness vanished as if it never happened. The only people who saw this shift were Tan Bingyu, who would later become Yue Xuexia's right-hand woman, and the system, which was taken aback as well.

Yue Xuexia smiled. "You didn't do anything wrong. There is no need to apologize."

Taiyang and Tan Shenyu returned to the room at this very moment, the latter carrying a plethora of clothing that his female subordinates had gathered for his daughter. Taiyang, how can he not be able to enter since Tan Shenyu was allowed to? Fortunately, Yue Xuexia gave Tan Bingyu her oversized jacket, which covered most of her important parts, though her legs remained bare.

As for Taiyang, he showed no interest in Tan Bingyu; he was entirely unmoved when he saw her butt bare previously and was just gazing at Yue Xuexia. Tan Shenyu is her father, so as long as the former does not look, there is no problem.

Yue Xuexia said, "It seems you guys had something to talk about with each other. Yangyang and I will go home now. See you again later~"

After Tan Shenyu and Tan Bingyu respectfully bid them farewell with a bow, Taiyang was taken away by Yue Xuexia, who urged them to cease. Tan Shenyu then dispatched the strongest fighter under him to send their mistress back home.

Tan Shenyu was crying as he hugged her daughter when they finally reunited after Yue Xuexia and Taiyang left. His wife had already been abducted by her clan, and his daughter was the only member of his family left. He had tried every doctor under the sun to wake her up, but to no avail, so he wasted a lot of money that ultimately led to the sale of his security company, which is essentially an upfront of their sect.

The system used Yue Xuexia's name as the one who purchased his security company. Tan Shenyu had the new owner investigated, but all he discovered about her was the common knowledge the system had permitted others to view. No one was aware of his presence. Yue Xuexia was living a normal life until he eventually met her and become her system.

The Yue Clan is just an ordinary, loving family. They live in a large mansion, but all of the family members always get together in the living room to spend time together and eat together. In addition, their way of life is not much different from that of ordinary families, which is why Tan Shenyu was surprised that they could afford to purchase a company connected to a clan like the Hidden Tan Clan, which had ties to the military, cultivators, and other hidden figures in this world.

Tan Shenyu did not realize that things were not as normal as he thought until he met Taiyang and Yue Xuexia. He could not read the young man's cultivation, but if this young man could suppress him and the team he brought with his aura alone, then he is definitely a powerful cultivator. Later, when Yue Xuexia used her medical skills and unintentionally loosened the meridian of his disciple, that is when he realized that these two had never been ordinary from the start. For this reason, he was extremely grateful to the gods for having met these two, and only then could he finally be reunited with his beloved daughter.

After both of them calmed down, Tan Bingyu coaxed her father to stop crying. She couldn't help but feel helpless at his sentiment.

Tan Bingyu said, "Father, I'm okay now. There will be no more elapse in the future. The mistress fully activated my physique. I can control it completely." She looked at her hand, and an icy aura gathered on it. A big snowflake appeared afloat above her palms. Such a detailed snowflake shows her precise control over her power.

Tan Shenyu said, "We should thank the young miss more next time."

"Dad, you should send powerful people to protect her loved ones. As for the mistress's protection, I alone should be enough. Or you can say that the man beside her will keep her safe. No need to send more to the Mistress's side. Well, unless we wanted to offend the dangerous man beside her." Tan Bingyu was mentioning the mysterious yet powerful Taiyang who stood beside Yue Xuexia.

Tan Shenyu realized that her daughter was right when she said that the young man was currently sealing his true self. He nearly passed out when he saw an adult man with an extremely powerful aura moments ago. For Tan Shenyu, it seemed like years, even though it was only a matter of seconds. This man represents the sun, and that is how Tan Shenyu views the system.

"I understand. I will arrange everything immediately. Thankfully, I have investigated her family background and know those she treats as important. But it seems her family and her grandmother are her top priorities," Tan Shenyu said.

Tan Bingyu said, "I will train for a bit to regain my senses. In a week, I will resume my position as her bodyguard."

"Sigh~ don't push yourself too much, Bing'er. But since you already decided, I will arrange everything as you said," Tan Shenyu said.

Their mistress genuinely has two faces: one is a face she uses when she is with her loved ones, and the other is a face she uses for her enemies—a cold self that looks down on everything in this world. Tan Bingyu is the only one who knows that things are not as simple as how Yue Xuexia looks. That sudden change of demeanor was something that could be achieved simply by acting out.

Tan Bingyu's thoughts: 'Dad don't understand what kind of person the mistress truly is. If something truly happens to those under her wings, the consequences would be enough to move the whole world.'
