Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Yue Xuexia asked, "What is this for?"

This was all Yue Xuexia had said, surrounded by a room full of treasure. It seemed that the treasures were not enough to divert her attention, and instead, she became even more serious. The two old men and Lin Chiyu noticed the unexpected shift in the atmosphere surrounding Yue Xuexia.

"Divine Doctor, please don't be angry. We don't mean anything else. We agree with the doctor's plans to cure our little disciple."

"It's just that we didn't know what the Divine Doctor wanted as a reward, and we brought all these things for you to choose from."

"It's just a simple gift for our first meeting. We have no intention of offending the Divine Doctor," Lin Chiyu said politely. He heard from his masters and his subordinates how this young lady removed the vicious gu in one of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was amazed and believed that this lady's identity was real.

Yue Xuexia said, "Why do you need to give me a gift?" She is a bit confused as she wasn't used to receiving gifts but instead giving them.

Taiyang said, "Didn't you fall asleep just now and say you missed the auctions and bought only a few? You can choose all that you want in this room. Since you didn't enjoy the auction much, just think of this as compensation for them. You will treat the poison of their little disciple after all. This much is okay."

When Yue Xuexia turned to look around, she discovered that there were many herbs mingled among the room's riches. Tan Bingyu, sensing that her mistress was on board, pulled a basket out of her inventory and trailed after her.

Tan Bingyu saw that her mistress picked out a large number of the room's herbs and put them in her basket. Yue Xuexia also selected some defensive artifacts in the form of accessories, such as the Starlight Ore she needs. The treasures she carried in her arms appeared to be her favorite things among the treasures. Even the most costly ones that could be purchased with money were passed over by her, with the exception of a beast egg she discovered in the room's corner.

Yue Xuexia crouched down and inspected the black and white egg in front of her.

"What is this? An ostrich egg?" she asked. "I heard ostrich eggs are delicious."

Everyone was startled when she called the spiritual egg an ostrich egg.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, that's not an ostrich egg! You can't eat it!"

"Really?" Yue Xuexia said, as for some unknown reason, some unknown energy gathered in her eyes, making her able to see through the egg and see a small silhouette inside.

Taiyang was a bit interested in seeing a spiritual beast egg in the mortal realm. These things were usually found only in the immortal realm.

"Xue'er, let me borrow the egg," Taiyang said.

After passing the egg to him, Yue Xuexia went back to searching the room for wealth, followed by Tan Bingyu. Taiyang was encircled by Lin Chiyu and the two ancient masters.

"My lord, this is an egg we found on one of the hidden ruins in the mortal realm. We actually can't see through it, and it hasn't hatched all these years. Maybe it's already a dead egg."

"There have been no movements since we brought it away, so we just stashed it in our treasure grove. Is it dead?"

"No. It's not. It's just in deep sleep. It would only react when a compatible aura touched it," Taiyang said.

Lin Chiyu asked, "What compatible aura?" He suddenly felt a terrible aura coming from Taiyang, which made him shut his mouth almost immediately.

The egg shook violently as if it were being boiled, but instead of responding kindly to Taiyang, it wanted to smack his skull with his thick egg. Taiyang utilized his qi, which exudes a powerful aroma of sun and fire.

Bonk!

Taiyang was taken off guard, not expecting the dang egg to react, and he was also unable to peer through the eggshell to reveal the figure inside before the egg jumped away from its hand and struck his forehead.

"Ouch! What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm going to turn you into a boiled egg!" Taiyang said, but the said egg had rolled away towards the location where Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu were.

The egg only shivers briefly before becoming motionless when Tan Bingyu uses ice elements to chill it down after noticing that it is a little too hot.

"Mistress, this egg has rolled over," Tan Bingyu said.

Yue Xuexia looked at the egg and poked it with her finger. She continued to observe the inside of it and still felt she was seeing things. "How weird~ how come there is a kitten inside of an egg? Are kittens now born in eggs?"

"Xue'er, just now you can see through it? There's a kitten inside?" Taiyang asked in surprise.

Yue Xuexia looked at him strangely but still nodded her head. "Yes, it's a kitten. That's why this egg is weird. You said you want to check it. So what's wrong with it? Is this a toy? A monster?"

"A kitten? But I can't see through this egg. Is there really something like that inside, Mistress?" Tan Bingyu said.

"Why? You can't see it?" Yue Xuexia asked in confusion. She looked around and saw that everyone shook their heads. "How weird. It's too clear in my eyes. I'm just a mortal, though."

Taiyang thought of something and said, "Xue'er, how about you drop blood on it?"

"Blood? No! I don't like pain!" Yue Xuexia said, but before she could react, her hands were caught by Taiyang, and a small cut was made on the tip of her index finger, which landed on the egg.

The egg erupted into a silvery radiance that nearly blinded everyone in the room. Before anybody could open their eyes, a short roar was heard, and the next thing they knew, Yue Xuexia held the cracked and empty egg, the thing within was gone.

Yue Xuexia said, "Woa! I didn't break it!" Even though she was holding a broken eggshell, everyone was looking at the top of her head instead.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Taiyang stares at the small cat on her head. It had black fur and silver stripes. There are even small wings on its back and a crown-shaped imprint on its forehead. This seems to be a black tiger cub.

"This seems to be a Beast King bloodline. A winged tiger. That's rare, but where have I seen it before?" mumbled Taiyang, and he even noticed the glint in those silver irises of the small cub. All of a sudden, it jumped on him and scratched his face

Meow!

"Ouch! Fuck! This wild little shit!" Taiyang wanted to grab it, but it fell on Yue Xuexia's embrace, giving her a teary-eyed look as if it were being bullied.

Yue Xuexia has always been weak to cute things like this kitten with wings. She immediately liked it a lot upon seeing it.

"Ahhh, so cute. Did you hatch from that egg?"

The cat nods its head.

"Are you a monster, then?"

The cat once again nods its head.

"Do you have a name?"

 The cat shook its head.

"I'll give you my surname and call you Yue! Yueyue, you're so cute~ mua~" Yue Xuexia said as he cuddled with the small kitten and laughed with it.

Meanwhile, Taiyang is pissed as it glares at that kitten that gave him a smug look while being hugged by its master. It was a taunting look, as if saying to him, 'What can you do to me now?'.

Taiyang mumbled in anger, "This stupid brat!" But no matter what, he can't take it forcefully away from Yue Xuexia, or she would be angry.

Yue Xuexia saw that Lin Chiyu and the two old men were watching at her and her cat after she had had enough fun playing with her; she remembered that the egg belonged to them, but she did not want to give her Yue away.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Ahno, I really like Yue, so that egg..."

"Yes, it's yours. Please don't worry too much, my lady. It was us who told you to choose anything, so what you found is yours," Lin Chiyu said while smiling.

The two old masters also noticed her hesitation and smiled. In reality, they can feel the murderous intent of the Beast King in her arms, glaring at them. If they say so, otherwise they would most likely be killed. This Beast Cub is already at peak innateness as it was born. It's stronger than anyone in this room except Taiyang.

"That's right, young lady. It's yours. We won't take it away. Don't worry."

"Moreover, you were the one who hatched it. It can only be yours."

Yue Xuexia said, "But I feel bad taking it away. So I will cure him for free and help him break through to the foundation stage. Is that okay?"

The old masters and Lin Chiyu were shocked, unable to believe what they were hearing; after all, in the mortal world, breaking through requires having the chance to do so. In the cultivation world, the strongest is only the Golden Core; and beyond that, the stronger people departed Earth and entered the immortal realm. After all, once they reach Yuan Ying (Nascent soul), they can leave the planet's surface and discover other worlds. WIth how scarce the world qi on this planet, most of them had left.

"Is that possible?" Lin Chiyu asked in shock.

Yue Xuexia nodded her head and said, "It only needs a few needles to do so. Let me help you break through first, then I will give you the prescription to bathe in for a month so you can be cured completely." She brought out her Golden Dragon Acupuncture Needles once more and flicked them on Lin Chiyu's meridians.

Lin Chiyu's meridians and veins opened wider than before as a flood of pure power cleaned them. She also grabbed one lotus seed and brought out the snow lotus she had purchased from the auction house, passing it on to Lin Chiyu.

"Eat it. It will help you cleanse your body faster. You need to meditate first," Yue Xuexia said.

Without hesitation, Lin Chiyu ate the lotus seed, crossed his legs there, and then meditated in the room while Yue Xuexia wrote down the materials and directions for the bathing mixture Lin Chiyu needed to soak in.

Yue Xuexia explained the procedure to the two old men as the patient was still meditating. "Please follow the ratio of herbs properly. It cannot be more or less. He needs to soak twice a week for one month. After one month, I will come back to check again to see if there is still some remnant poison in him. I should be going now. I took what I wanted from the pile of treasure; the others I didn't need. See you again in a month."

"Please let us see you guys out!"

 "There is no need. You will have to stay here to protect him after all," Taiyang said as he helped put all Yue Xuexia chose in the system's inventory and took their leave. The two old men watched them take their leave with smiles on their faces.

"Hah~ the prediction of Starfield Sect is truly accurate."

"Indeed. We came here wanting to find a cure for Lin'er. It was fate that we could meet the Divine Doctoress."

"She is so amazing. Using the world aura as her own and that Golden Dragon Acupuncture Needles is a divine artifact itself, I wonder who is her master."

"Maybe it's that man beside her. It can be seen that that is a mere clone capable of suppressing even us. He must be an extremely powerful individual."

"They don't look like master and disciple though. Instead, they look like ambiguous lovers?"

"Well, that's their personal problem. Not for us to worry about. I guess when Lin'er wakes up, he will be a foundation stage cultivator like us. Hohoho~"

"That's the greatest news our Crimson Cloud Sect can have."
