Chapter 82: 082: Special Sign-in Reward
After the issue of Yue Ruxia's problem of not being able to graduate had been resolved, Yue Xuexia stayed at home after teaching her younger sister for three straight days. She had been tired lately and even forgot to sign in. Her sign-in chances had accumulated until today, and as for the main system, he had returned within those three days. It was already afternoon when Yue Xuexia was woken up by the notifications on her phone.
Ping. Ping… Ping!
Finally waking up, Yue Xuexia grabbed her phone at the side table and checked the time. When she saw that it was one in the afternoon, she finally sat up while yawning and read the chat notifications on her phone.
On the chat application:
Muen: Xue, are you awake? I have taken a leave of three days, as planned. It was approved.
Lanlan: Me too! I've already told Aunt and Uncle Lin about it. They had finished their preparations.
Ruri: That's good! I will wait for you guys here in Korea.
Snowy had signed in.
Snowy: I will have my secretary send the flight content this afternoon. See you guys soon!

After replying to the chat, Yue Xuexia poked the little sun not far from her and said, "I will sign in after taking a bath."
Yangyang groggily wakes up. Ever since spending time with Yue Xuexia, their sleeping time seems to have matched up.
[Oh~ sure. Good morning, Xue'er!]
"Good morning, Yangyang. Are you going to eat with me?" asked Yue Xuexia as she was looking through her wardrobe to get a change of clothes.
[If you are going out today, I will. Yawns~]
"Then you should change to your human form and wait for me downstairs. Ask Sister Bingyu to cook food. I want some pasta."
[Roger!]
They separated for a while, with one going to the bathroom and the other outside the subdivision, pretending to be Tai Yang, Yue Xuexia's secretary, again. After an hour of preparation, Yue Xuexia went downstairs to eat. She saw her parents watching in the living room, and as for her siblings, the youngest went to school for a graduation practice, and the second eldest was doing some internships in the city.
Mama Yue, who was holding an apple, turned back and said, "Your awake, Xue'er. Xiao Yang and Xiao Bing are in the kitchen cooking."
"Are you going out after eating?" asked Papa Yue.
Yue Xuexia said, "I'm going to buy a wedding gift. Ruri is going to get married this weekend. The location is Korea, so I have to fly there tomorrow."
Her parents knew about her three best friends: Xiao Muen, Lin Ruri, and Ru Lanyu. Though they've only met in college, the relationship between the four of them is great. They still have connections after all these years. Papa Yue and Mama Yue met those three themselves before, as they used to sleepover for their graduation thesis at home. So, they knew who Lin Ruri was.
Mama Yue said, "Xiao Ruri is getting married. Is her groom Korean?"
"Yes. He was a good man upon investigation, so Ruri should be okay," answered Yue Xuexia.
"How long will you be away?" asked Papa Yue.
Yue Xuexia replied, "Three to five days. I also need to check on my businesses in Korea, so it would take a while. Xiao Mu and Xiao Lan are also going, so I won't be alone."
"That's good. Then enjoy yourself. In December, we are going there as well. You go ahead and check the nice place so my father and I can make an itinerary," Mama Yue said.
"I will~" responded Yue Xuexia as she headed to the kitchen.

In the kitchen
Tan Bingyu and Tai Yang, wearing professional suits, were cooking, holding pans and pots. The two look like they got somewhere and ended up in the kitchen, being forced to cook while still wearing their business suits. There is even a cute apron wrapped around their bodies, making them look even cuter. Yue Xuexia looked at them with a smile and even commented.
She said, "You two look good on those."
"You're finally here! This mortal doesn't feed me without you here!" Tai Yang complained.
Tan Bingyu ignored him and said, "He is lying, Mistress. The food hasn't been fully heated yet, and he wanted to eat already. Can't he wait?"
"Hahaha~ you two got along well. Let's eat before leaving," Yue Xuexia said as she invited them to the table.
The two had gotten used to eating together with Yue Xuexia and didn't say anything as they joined her for this meal. After eating, the three of them left the Moonlight Lake Mansion and headed to the Marigold Mall.
Tai Yang asked, "Why did you go to the mall again?"
"Hm~ you know that I have to attend a wedding this weekend, right? I still haven't decided on the wedding gift yet," Yue Xuexia said.
Tan Bingyu asked, "Mistress, is this about your friend who will get married in Korea?"
"Un. I thought of gifting a bit of my shares of the Lotte World Tower, but..." said Yue Xuexia, but she was suddenly cut off in the middle of her words.
"Please don't!" "I told you not to!"
Both of Yue Xuexia's secretaries disagree with her giving some of her shares. After all, shares are expensive and important in business. It wasn't something one could give away as a gift just because one felt like it.
"I won't. So, calm down both of you!" Yue Xuexia was stunned by their reactions.
Tai Yang said, "I know you wanted to give something to your best friend, at least a big enough gift for her in-laws not to look down on her. You can give her a house or a car, but don't touch your hotel shares. Even a house is not enough to be compared to one percent of your shares."
"So, it's okay to buy a house or something for a gift?" asked Yue Xuexia, looking so delighted just based on the smile that appeared in the corner of her lips.
Tan Bingyu, who is also a rich lady, didn't think much about her mistress gifting a house. But the faces of those who were accidentally listening in the corner looked speechless.
"Mistress, a house is okay? But aren't couples supposed to buy a house first before getting married in preparation for being a family?" Tan Bingyu commented.
Yue Xuexia said, "That is, I think you are right. Maybe they've already bought a house. It would be redundant to buy another. How about a car?"
"Can your friend even drive?" retorted Tai Yang.
Yue Xuexia didn't know if Lin Ruri could drive. If she can't, then the car is useless for her, and her fiancé might already have a car for himself.
"What should I give then? Maybe the shares will do; I don't want to think anymore!" said Yue Xuexia.
"NO WAY!"
This three-person group roamed the mall looking for gifts, but none caught the eye of Yue Xuexia at all. In the end, they ended up going food shopping instead of buying wedding gifts. Yue Xuexia was so tired that they ended up resting their feet inside the café. Tan Bingyu ordered their drinks for them while Yue Xuexia sat on her seat, looking depressed.
"I didn't find the right gift; after walking for hours, my tummy is about to burst," Yue Xuexia complained.
Tai Yang said, "As if I'm the one who finished all those you can't eat more of but still ended up buying a new one."
"Hehe~ it looks all delicious. I need a taste of everything. Ah, right. Yangyang, I want to sign in. Is it possible?" asked Yue Xuexia. Before Yangyang could respond, the voice of the system rang in her head.
[You can. Do you wish to sign in for four days' worth?] The system's usual cool voice resounds in Yue Xuexia's head.
Yue Xuexia, who noticed something was wrong with the tone of the system's voice, hesitatingly asked, "System, are you not feeling well? Are the merits not enough? Let's donate a few more billions."
[....]
[I'm fine. No need to worry.]
Yue Xuexia said, "It's okay. Go donate 100 billion first. Then I can sign-in after."
[I will sign you in first, then donate money as you wish.]
"Don't be in a bad mood anymore. If the money isn't enough, you can donate more," said Yue Xuexia.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening a special physique, 'Yin Moon Physique'.
[It was detected that the host had awakened her ability to cultivate and the body had been enhanced for cultivation. You can now receive sign-in gifts that increase cultivation.]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 100 years of cultivation. Xue'er cultivation is now at 3rd level of the Qi Refinement stage.
[Ding! Congratulations! The Host had obtained Moon Lotus Sword Technique.]
[Please prepare to receive information about the Moon Lotus Sword Technique.]
[Ding! Congratulations! The Host had received an Artifact weapon, Moon Severing Fan.]
A gorgeous black fan with silver snow lotus pattern appeared in front of Yue Xuexia. The moment she saw the fan, she fell in love with it. The fan was exquisitely made and the shade of the black fan glistened under the light as if it were filled with stars and the silver-colored lotus imprinted on it looked like it was real. The moment Yue Xuexia touched it, a bit of coolness spread in her hands, which made her comfortable.
Tai Yang looked stunned at the Artifact weapon. This beautiful fan is a divine-grade weapon with a spirit. If the one who tried to touch it was not worthy of the weapon, the artifact spirit would have killed the one who reached for it on the spot.
This fan possessed a spirit, but for some reason, the moment Yue Xuexia had touched it, she was immediately accepted as its master. It can be said that Yue Xuexia's current cultivation strength is weak compared to a divine weapon; even so, she was still accepted and was completely harmed, leaving Yangyang dumbfounded.

Tai Yang looked at his main body in disbelief. He wanted to crack his head and see what the hell he was thinking. Why the hell did he gaze at a divine-grade artifact in the eyes of a mortal?! Though Yue Xuexia is no longer a mortal right now but a newbie cultivator, possessing such a dangerous weapon would indeed protect her, but it will also put her in great danger once those old monsters from the immortal realm heard about this fan.
Xue'er, you need to drop blood on your fan so it would recognize you as its master. Once it merged with your blood, you only needed to control it with your thoughts.
Yue Xuexia was dumbfounded for a while but still listened to the system. After pricking her right index finger, they all watched as a droplet of Yue Xuexia's blood fell on the black fan. All of a sudden, Yue Xuexia gains all the information about her fan.
[Moon Severing Fan
Grade: Divine
Elements: Moon, Ice and Wind
Description: A weapon that is said to be soaked in the moon essences for hundreds of years and gain a spirit weapon. This was said to be the former weapon of the Moon Goddess, who cut the moon into two. It can control both ice and wind elements. It can cut through anything, even time and space.]
In her disbelief, Yue Xuexia cursed, "What the f—!? This fan can cut the moon. Haha~ what a Chunibyo description. Whatever's beautiful anyway, let's keep it. Ah? Wait... I think I heard something about cultivation just? I become a cultivator just like this!?"
Taiyang who didn't know what to say anymore at this point just responded, [Yea.]
