Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

After dinner, everyone drank a lot and ate as much as they could so that they only returned to their quarters after dinner. A lot of the teachers had drank too much and fainted. Hei Yu had to summon his people to bring these people to their places without annoying the mistress for sleeping on the ground. The clean up was left to Wu Zhou, Hei Yu and Su Kan. The unexpected guests like Hei Yu and Su Kan who wanted to escape after dinner were caught by Shen Jueyang to help with the clean up afterwards.

After everyone had been sent to their respective homes, Shen Jueyang who was carrying a wooden tub following Yue Xuexia who was carrying a basket of herbs had bumped into Wu Zhou, Hei Yue and Su Kan.

"Mistress, we’ve finished sending the people to their homes!" Hei Yue said.

Su Kan added, "The kitchen and dining hall is also cleaned!"

"Xue’er, how is my elder brother?" Wu Zhou asked.

The Goddess of the Moon nodded at her subordinates and told them. "You two can go back. If you are free, send some people to help with the renovation of the academy. I will issue the rewards after the renovation is completed."

Upon hearing about the rewards and it was something from the Goddess of the Moon it, the Assassin king and the grand elder were definitely interested. After all, things from the Moon Goddess were all considered treasures.

"We will definitely help!" Hei Yu and Su Kan said before bidding their farewell and leaving.

After the two had left, Yue Xuexia looked at Wu Zhou and said, "Master is alright. But he just woke up and hasn’t fully adjusted to his current body and I need to give him a medicinal bath."

"Come with us and continue the conversation from this afternoon," said Shen Jueyang.

The three of them head to the quarters of Wu Yao. When they had arrived, they saw him sitting with a fish bowl on his lap playing with the glass caterpillar inside. They can hear the laughter of the little one echoing inside the room.

Wu Zhou was confused as he didn’t know anything about the Little Gu his elder brother is keeping.

He asked, "What is that sound? Is my brother keeping a child?" He looked at the small caterpillar in the fish bowl and was startled.

"Brother, are you keeping a bug?" Wu Zhou asked.

The little one inside the fish bowl was immediately angered and started shouting at Wu Zhou.

{You are a bug. Your whole family is a bug!}

Wu Yao said, "Baobao, you can insult him but not me. I might be his elder brother but I have never called you a bug."

{Master, you have just done so. Hmp! Master is bad. I’m not going to play with you anymore!}

In his disbelief, Wu Zhou who had just heard the voice of a little baby coming from the caterpillar was speechless as if waking up one day hearing a cat talking to him.

"Have you heard of a sentient Life Gu? It was this little thing who had made it so your brother can survive until now. If not for the little one almost sacrificing himself for your brother, he wouldn’t have lasted those long years. Moreover, according to my diagnosis, he isn’t ill but someone had given him poison. A poison called Blood Seed Curse." The Moon Goddess said, as she instructed Shen Jueyang to put down on the wooden tub and she started filling it with water to start concocting the medicinal bath her master needs to use for tonight.

Shen Jueyang said, "Blood Seed Poison is something you can only get from the Blood Sea Tribe as the ingredients of this poison can only grow in their territory. In the end, someone is intentionally targeting your academy and it was someone from the Blood Sea Tribe. Did you offend someone from that place?"

"I don’t remember offending anyone from the Blood Sea Tribe," said Wu Zhou as he reached out a finger poking the pouting cure glass caterpillar inside the fist bowl.

{Stop poking. Baobao is going to bite you!}

Seeing the reaction of the little guy, Wu Zhou felt that it was extremely adorable and immediately liked him upon seeing him.

He crouched down to look directly at the fish bowl and said, "Hello. I am Wu Zhou, your master’s younger brother. Nice to meet you, Baobao."

{Master’s brother, then you are uncle. Uncle, Baobao is happy to meet you too!}

"Oh my god, he is so cute! Brother, I want one as well!" Wu Zhou said.

Wu Yao kicked his brother and said, "I only have this one little guy. He was given to me by your Saozi before he was taken away by his tribe."

Once the word ’Saozi’ was mentioned, Wu Zhou’s face turned serious and melancholic at the same time. How could he forget the beautiful sister-in-law who had accompanied him and his brother and also the scene that day, his elder brother was almost killed and his sister-in-law was taken away.

The Immortal Sun Emperor and the Goddess of the Moon who was listening into their conversation finally learned where the Little Gu came from. It seems it came from Wu Yao’s lover who was taken away by her family. Obviously, this is because they do not agree in the relationship between Wu Yao and their tribesmen.

Silence suddenly descended in the room making the whole atmosphere a bit awkward. This stillness was broken when Yue Xuexia who had just finished the medicinal bath spoke up to call her master.

She said, "Master, your bath is ready. Please meditate for an hour inside and absorb as much of the medicine effect you can. This bath can heal your soul. The little one can take a dip as well."

{I can take a bath as well, Fairy Sister!?}

Yue Xuexia smiled and said, "Of course. This is good for you too. It can increase your vitality."

{Thank you, Fairy Sister! Master let’s go. Take a bath! Go. Go.}

Wu Yao, looking worried at the small one and the wooden tub which would definitely not be as different as the sea for him, felt that letting him take a bath with him was dangerous. Only to see his beloved disciple take out a shallow bowl and scoop water from the tub and place it beside the tub. This bowl is obviously for the little one. It was shallow enough it won’t drown even if it fell asleep in it.

The Moon Goddess even melted a little longevity on the bowl and took the little one from the fish ball and gently transferred him to the bowl. Like a fish in the water, the glass caterpillar started swimming inside the bowl happily.

{Master, this is fun~. Hehehe!}

"Master, you should take a bath as well. There is no need to remove all your robes. Just wear your inner robes as you dip inside. You just need to absorb the medicinal effects," said Yue Xuexia.

After Wu Yao started meditating in the tube, everyone had taken their seat in the couches and started talking about the contract, the blood parasite and the Blood Sea itself.

The Immortal Sun Emperor asked, "Have you found out the content of the contract that was signed with your name?"

As the contract was suddenly mentioned, the face of Wu Yao turned dark and gloomy. One can see the hatred and suppressed fear in his instinctive gestures like grasping his hands into fist, his deep frown and how he grits his teeth. Just based on these reactions clearly, whatever the vice-principal had told them didn’t seem to be good news. Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia didn’t urge him to speak and waited for him to restart the conversation. The Moon Goddess even served him a calming tea.

Smelling the scent of herb that gradually helps in calming his emotions down, Wu Zhou enjoyed the tea first before he started talking.

"The contents of the contracts are simple. The contract says that the academy is to give away half of the population of the whole Black Cloud Academy and the collateral are the half of the names of the students in our academy," said Wu Zhou.

The atmosphere within the room suddenly turned cold. For the Blood Sea Tribe, the blood they wanted is equivalent to a whole person’s worth. Asking a half of the population of the Black Cloud Academy, is no different from them asking to kill half of the students’ population for their blood.

The Immortal Sun Emperor suddenly asked an important question, "What is the date they would come to retrieve the item and the place to meet up?"

"...Blood Sea shore on the first blood moon of this month," Wu Zhou answered.

Yue Xuexia who was expressionless yet emitting a murderous intent after learning that the students of the Black Cloud Academy was involved in the contract they are meant to be considered as products. Right now, even if they wanted to know what the supreme elder had exchanged for this contract, the man is already dead and there is no way of asking him. Just what the hell would be worth half of the entire student population which he had exchanged with?

Wu Zhou asked while looking at the two majesties before him. "What should we do?"

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "There is nothing to talk about."

"Let them come if they dare," said the Moon Goddess.
