Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

The appearance of Du Yuming did not really affect Mama Yue and Papa Yue's visages. They had been accustomed to individuals attempting to win them over in order to get their eldest daughter's attention, even if it was just for a brief period of time. The elderly couple was a little more receptive to him because of his manners.

"Xiao Du, right? Come over and sit over there with Xue'er and Xiao Yang. Aunt's hand is a bit dirty from trimming the plants," Mama Yue said.

Du Yuming responded politely. "Yes, Madam Yue. Please receive these gifts for me, and I apologize for coming over uninvited."

"Don't worry, Xiao Du. We don't mind guests coming over," Papa Yue said as he commanded the household robots to accept the gifts.

Du Yuming was astounded by the Yue Family's high-tech attendants once more. Although there are robot and human housekeepers, the human ones only arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon. The Yue Family is accustomed to living alone in their home without any outsiders. Du Yuming observed that these were the AI robots that were exclusive to Japan. These robots are not available for purchase with cash. Instead, you need connections. It is evident that Miss Yue had contacts in Japan because of how many of these robots there are.

The guest had something to discuss with their daughter, Papa, and Mama Yue. They came up with an excuse to leave the gardeners to work somewhere else while they went back to the estate. Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, Yue Xuexia, Du Yuming, and the other guests are the only ones still in the garden.

"Well, Papa and I will make some early lunch preparations. What do you guys want to eat?" Mama Yue asked.

Yue Xuexia replied, "Fish Fillet."

"Aunt, Uncle, please cook a lot!" Taiyang requested.

Tan Bingyu said, "I'm okay with anything, Lord, Madam."

"Well, let's have seafood for lunch then. Are you staying for lunch, Xiao Du?" Mama Yue asked.

Du Yuming declines. "I won't be staying for long. Maybe next time, Aunt Yue."

"Well, that's too bad," Mama Yue said as she took her leave with her husband.

There was a little silence in the garden after the elderly Yue couple left the mansion, which made Du Yuming feel a little uncomfortable because he was not friends with the attractive young woman in front of him. Similarly, he dared not look at her too long, but once he did, he found it difficult to take his eyes off of her.

Du Yuming mumbled, "She is too beautiful to be a human."

Instinctively, he fled as he sensed a death aura looming over him and a chilly, menacing look next to him. Frightened, he stood up and turned to face the young man who was consuming every snack on the stone table.

Taiyang said he was munching on a big cream puff while trying to talk, so all his words were muffled and became worse than gibberish.

Moffu... mofumofu. Munches~

Tan Bingyu said, "The Lord says, 'If you can't control your eyes, I can dig it for you.' So please don't look at the mistress with such eyes."

"I'm sorry!" Du Yuming said.

Yue Xuexia spoke and said, "Stop scaring him. As if those gifts were what he came for, those gifts were an excuse to meet me. Why do you want to see me, Sir Du?"

"Miss Yue, I am here on behalf of the Du Clan to apologize for what happened to your siblings that night. The mother of my cousin is quite hard-headed as she came from quite a rich family and spoiled her only son rotten. So we would like to apologize once again." Du Yuming said, lowering his head and doing a 90-degree bow.

Yue Xuexia responded, "I've already punished the person who did the wrong thing. There is no need to apologize. Didn't I return him to you with no wounds?"

"Yes, we are grateful for that. I came personally to warn you about Aunt Xu. Like her son, she is quite spoiled as well and will do everything for revenge, so please be careful. We will try our best to stop her, but if by chance we cannot stop her, please do as you must. Just spare my Du Clan," Du Yuming said.

Yue Xuexia agreed by nodding her head. She could tell the man standing in front of her was real. He had even come to give an explanation. She had also become accustomed to the inner workings of a large and prosperous clan such as the Du. She does not give a damn about what happens to other people's families as long as her own is safe.

Mama Yue came out of the mansion to call them for lunch. She looked gentle as always and was currently wearing an apron on her.

"Kids, it's time to eat!"

"Do you wish to eat lunch before going?" Yue Xuexia asked. This time, she didn't send Du Yuming away.

Just as Du Yuming was ready to say no, he noticed a crimson dot on Yue Xuexia's face. He is terrified by the other one, Mama Yue. Du Yuming's yells caused Taiyang and Tan Bingyu to move simultaneously.

"BE CAREFUL!" Du Yuming pushed Yue Xuexia away, and a bullet grazed his arm.

Mama Yue's daughter had given her a jade amulet bracelet, which kept her safe and shielded her from the unexpected barrier. She saw the bullet hovering in front of her after it was stopped. She let out a terrified scream.

AAHHHH!!!

"What happened!?" Papa Yue shouted as he ran out of the mansion.

Regarding Taiyang, he had wished to instantly vanish in order to apprehend the assassins. He moved directly because, as snipers, it would take some time for the Mystic Guardians' bodyguards to get up to them. Mama Yue was horrified, but she and Yue Xuexia were safe. Tan Bingyu had managed to yank her mistress out of sight. In addition, there was the power with which Du Yuming shoved her aside.

"MA!"

After emerging from shock, Yue Xuexia went to see her mother. Fortunately, she is fine aside from the shock. When Papa Yue heard his wife scream, he came over right away to see his wife and daughter on the verge of being shot down. Now he is nudging his wife into his arms.

Du Yuming's bullet wound is presently being attended to by Tan Bingyu. It was only a graze, but his flesh was bleeding profusely and scorching. To stop the bleeding, it must be properly cleaned and bandaged.

Papa Yue asked with a dark face, "What happened? Is it assassination?!"

"Pa, Ma fainted, so please go back inside the mansion to rest. I will send more guards to the mansion and clean up the outside premises. Don't worry about anything and leave it to me," Yue Xuexia said.

Although there is no emotion on her face, there is a hidden anger and rage that is ready to surface in her icy eyes. With a nod, Papa Yue acknowledged that his daughter could handle the remaining tasks. They were formerly regular people who had never been involved in an assassination attempt of this kind. Papa Yue nearly lost both his wife and daughter due to his extreme shaking. Luckily, his father gifted them with a mystical jade amulet bracelet. He will see to it that everyone in the household wears it at all times.

Papa Yue carried his wife in his arms and said, "Xue'er, be careful. Bring Xian Yang with you. For a situation like this, it is better to bring a man with you." A group of cultivators wearing a uniformed bodyguard suit surrounded the Yue Old Couple.

"I understand, Pa. Please explain everything to Ma when she wakes up," Yue Xuexia said as she glanced coldly at Du Yuming as if she recalled something.

Papa Yue and Mama Yue were escorted back inside the mansion. Taiyang appeared carrying two unconscious men. There's also a sniping gun in his hands.

Taiyang said, "These are the humans who did it. Based on their skin, hair, and eye colors, they might not be from this country." He lifted the blonde hair of the man he knocked out with one punch and commented, "Is this dyed or not?"

After scanning the two unconscious males, Tan Bingyu tied their hands and legs together like shrimp. On the arms of these two men, she discovered two phones and an odd tattoo of a scorpion.

"They must be assassins from abroad. They are just humans who have been trained like a special force in this country. They look familiar, especially with this scorpion tattoo on them," Tan Bingyu said.

Du Yuming, who recognized the tattoo, turned pale; obviously, he knew where this man came from. Yue Xuexia noticed his change of expression and asked him with a cold tone of voice. "Speak. I know this had nothing to do with you personally, but it seems you know the culprit."

"They are from a famous assassination group in Italy, Scorpione Mortale. They have a hiring spot on the Dark Web. As for the client, it must be my aunt, the mother of my cousin. As I told you before, she is extremely vengeful, so she might..."

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Du Yuming's phone is ringing right now. He was in such a panic that he was unable to remove his phone from his jeans and could only move his unhurt hand. With a motion, Tan Bingyu signaled his own guards to pick up the phone and answer on speakerphone.

Clicked!

[Ming'er, this is Grandfather! You must warn Miss Yue and her family about the assassination. Your aunt had gone insane. She dares to do such a thing. We had her detained by the clan. I hope nothing bad will happen. Ming'er? Are you there?]

"Grandfather, I..."

"Detain all the family members of that bitch. I will come over right now." Yue Xuexia ended the call one-sidedly. Her face was completely icy at this moment.

Nobody anticipated that she would go for the sniping rifle and instantly shoot both assassins in the forehead. Du Yuming and those by his side were horrified as the environment fell silent. This is the first time they have witnessed a young woman kill someone without hesitation or trembling in her hands.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Using every bullet on the two assassins at close range, Yue Xuexia caused their heads to explode like watermelons. With courtesy, Tan Bingyu handed her the rifle. Her minor tremor might be heard if one were to look closely at her fingertips. But Taiyang is as composed as ever.

Taiyang said, "What would you like to do, Xue'er? I will help you with anything."

"Grab by the parents of that bitch alive and cripple everyone from the Xu Clan regardless of young, old, male or female," Yue Xuexia said.

Taiyang smiled as if entertained, and he even bowed slightly at her as if he were her loyal knight.

"As you wish, my Xue'er!" Taiyang disappeared on the spot after hearing Yue Xuexia's request.

"Bingyu, ask someone to clean up the garden," Yue Xuexia said, then she looked at Du Yuming Wo, who flinched under her gaze. "You. Bring me to your clan."

"Yes. Yes."

Du Yuming was shaking as his guards assisted him in getting to his feet. Although the wound on his arm is extremely painful and heated, all he is feeling right now is coldness throughout his entire body. He was aware that his aunt was done.

In Du Yuming's vehicle, they departed from the estate. Tan Bingyu was seated next to her Mistress. A few BMW vehicles carrying passengers from Mystic Pavilion trailed them.

Meanwhile, at the Du Clan's main mansion...

The grandfather of Du Yuming was taken aback when the call was disconnected. Particularly after hearing the young woman's voice on the phone a moment ago. They were aware that Miss Yue had to be the voice behind that. This time, she is directly visiting us. The other elders and the clan leader were all horrified to hear about this.

"This is the end. The Du Clan is now over!"

They all let forth an indignant yell toward the sky. It appears that their family had offended Miss Yue a second time before they had any contact with her.
