Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 250: Fell in
Chapter 250: 250: Fell in
Sahara Desert
The largest desert in the whole mortal realm. Humans say that this dessert is too large and it’s hard to venture in it as it was filled with the unknown and danger. Many mutated animals were found in this place. From a huge rattle snake the size of a building, a man-eating cactus and even rumors saying that the desert eats people. Those who got lost and never returned were people who were deemed eaten by the desert and this story itself was considered a legend.
At this moment, a white jeep wrangler was moving along the sand dunes. Moving up and down, sometimes free falling and another time climbing up. There are no roads in the desert and the travelers can only move by following the sun to guess about the directions of north, south, east and west.
However, the four people inside the jeep wrangler didn’t care about directions and are currently having fun driving up and down in those sand dunes. At this moment, Yue Xuexia had already switched seats with Tan Bingyu and was screaming as she enjoyed the thrill of climbing and free falling from the sand dunes.
Woohoo~
Taiyang said, "Watch me drive at a 90 degree angle!"
"Step on it! Haha~" said Yue Xuexia. "I want to drive next!"
"Hehe! I will exchange after reaching the next sand dome! You can try it there~!" said Taiyang.
BOOM!
A huge sandworm pops out from the sand dunes. Four pairs of eyes watch this lone sandworm with expressionless eyes. They were no fear at all and they even looked a bit disgusted by how it looked. It looks like a huge slimy earthworm with a round mouth full of sharp teeth. The scent of rot was expelled from it.
Taiyang commented, "Are sandworms delicious?"
"You cook it on your own. I won’t touch something that disgusting!" rebuked Yue Xuexia.
Shen Jueyang said, "Let’s just kill it, or do you want to give up the corpse to the state?"
"I don’t like to put it in my inventory," Yue Xuexia said. Her response was the same as agreeing but not willing to place the thing in her bed. That kind of rejection.
Tan Bingyu said, "I will kill it for the mistress."
Blowing a cold wind full of ice elements, the huge sandworm slowly gets frozen until the ice reaches the sand. Shen Jueyang crooked his finger and the sandworm in front of him flew out of the sand as if something had pulled it up.
Taiyang and Yue Xuexia were clapping at such a smooth scene. Once the whole thing was frozen it was tucked away by Shen Jueyang somewhere. He didn’t put it in Yue Xuexia’s system inventory and placed it in his inventory instead.
After the huge sandworm was caught, Taiyang suddenly asked, "Do you want to drive next?"
"But there are no sand dunes anymore. That big worm flattened it," said Yue Xuexia.
Taiyang said, "No problem~ I will find one for you."
Contrast to the two who were enjoying themselves in front, Tan Bingyu and Shen Jueyang were quietly watching the two excited children. They can only watch helplessly as they get bored with playing. It was already almost nightfall when the two finished playing around with sand.
Unlike the blazing heat of the morning sun, the night in the desert is completely opposite. It was freezing cold. Though it wasn’t as cold as that of Antarctica, the temperature had completely dropped from the temperature when the sun was out. Taiyang and Shen Jueyang brought out the tents they placed in the system’s inventory.
Though as cultivators they truly don’t need to sleep like mortals, Yue Xuexia has a normal sleeping routine especially when she is not working. After spending months with her, these three had gotten used to sleeping time as well.
While the boys were making the tent, the two ladies were cooking. The ingredients were not ordinary. Aside from the sandworm, they also caught a scorpion that walks sideways like a crab. Unlike the sandworm, Yue Xuexia didn’t reject this scorpion. She was even saying that this thing tastes like lobsters. Thus, Taiyang and Shen Jueyang caught a lot of meal ingredients.
Bring out a huge pot from her system inventory, Yue Xuexia asked Tan Bingyu,
"Sister Bingyu, please clean this scorpion thoroughly with water."
"Please leave it to me, Mistress," said Tan Bingyu.
After the mutated scorpion was cleaned, she removed the stinger and poison pouch. Yue Xuexia treated it as crabs and boiled it with water. She happily seasoned it and cooked it thoroughly. After a few hours she called everyone for a meal.
"Dinner is ready!"
All four of them surrounded the big pot and started eating. Yue Xuexia and Taiyang tried it first.
Chomp!
Taiyang’s eyes glowed at the unique taste of the mutated scorpion.
Yue Xuexia was also amazed herself and commented, "This doesn’t taste like lobsters but instead a really good beef jerky."
"How can something that looks similar to a lobster taste like beef," said Shen Jueyang as he was amazed.
Tan Bingyu said, "This is amazing. Let’s post it online."
"Let me check if there’s a signal. Maybe it is better to buy our own satellite next time," mumbles Yue Xuexia, seeing that there is barely any signal in the desert.
Taiyang said, "Xue’er, don’t walk too far!"
"Okay~" Yue Xuexia responded while holding her phone up to find signal.
She was walking around the area and didn’t even notice that she ventured off somewhere away from the camp as she was busy looking at her phone. When finally a few signal bars appeared on her phone.
Yue Xuexia excitedly said, "Found a signal!"
Just as she turned around to run back to the camp, Yue Xuexia didn’t know what she had stepped on and immediately the sand under her foot collapsed. Under the eyes of Taiyang, Shen Jueyang and Tan Bingyu, not only they heard Yue Xuexia scream in surprise and saw her sink within the sand as if the desert had eaten her.
AHHH!!
"XUE’ER!!!"
"MISTRESS!"
The three collectively shouted as they literally flew towards her. The one among the three with strongest cultivation looked like he teleported but just as Shen Jueyang caught Yue Xuexia’s hands, it slipped from his grasp and the feeling of losing something again cooled his heart!
BAM!
WHOOSHED~
In his rage and anxiety, Shen Jueyang slammed his fist to the sand making it explode as if some bomb fell on it. Sand flew to the night sky like a fountain. Taiyang and Tan Bingyu didn’t expect Shen Jueyang to lose his cool at this moment. Moreover, the shocked expression and desolation cannot be ignored at this moment. He was so anxious that the corner of his eyes turned red at this moment.
Taiyang didn’t expect his original character to act like this. He had longed to be noticed right from the very beginning. He and Shen Jueyang had started to change in a direction they’ve never felt before. They started to gain the emotions they lost after becoming immortal. Those sentimental feelings only mortals possess.
Shen Jueyang didn’t know what he was thinking so he started digging the sand with his hands. Unfortunately before the great desert a pair of small hands cannot move it at all. This scene made Taiyang and Tan Bingyu calmer. It was indeed true that when someone is more nervous than you are that one will feel calmer.
"Where is she!?" Shen Jueyang grits his teeth as he says these words.
He was about to slam his fist to the sand once again but was stopped but Taiyang this time especially seeing that this former immortal emperor was so anxious that he even started to summon the sun which is the source of his power.
Taiyang held Shen Jueyang’s wrist and said, "Calm down! What if you first made it worse to the ones below!? Xue’er might be under all these sands!"
Trembles~
These words made the strength in Shen Jueyang leave. He calmed down enough to think more rationally than before. Taiyang watched over him until his original body stood up as if he calmed down. However, Taiyang can see it. At the depths of those crimson gold eyes of Shen Jueyang, a hidden madness was boiling over about to be turned over with one push.
Sigh~
Tan Bingyu had somehow calmed down at this moment and asked, "What should be done next?"
"Find the locals. Only they have a way to find someone in the desert," said Shen Jueyang, who rationally somehow returned.
Taiyang said, "You guys try to keep an eye. If possible try to search for her aura. I will grab somebody who can help me."
"Go. Come back as soon as possible. If we can find her within a day, I will wreck this whole place just to find her," said Shen Jueyang.
Tan Bingyu covered her mouth in shock, preventing herself from screaming. She is terrified by the sudden madness that appeared in Shen Jueyang’s eyes. Taiyang, on the other hand, had already expected this and just nodded as he watched Shen Jueyang spreading his qi trying to find a trace of Yue Xuexia.
Before Taiyang takes his leave, he sends his thoughts to Tan Bingyu through divine consciousness and speaks in her mind.
{Tan Bingyu. Watch over him. Don’t let him do anything to the desert. Xue’er is most likely under the sand. If he attacked the sand she might get squashed. Make sure to stop him by using Xue’er’s name.}
Tan Bingyu nods her head towards Taiyang. After seeing her response, Taiyang instantly flies back to the city to find someone leaving Tan Bingyu to watch over Shen Jueyang whose state wasn’t normal.
