Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Hei Yu, the leader of the Evernight Manor. A quasi-emperor realm cultivator who is a famous assassin who rules the night. It was said that he can even kill an emperor realm cultivator as long as he agrees and that there is enough payment. Now this grumpy assassin king is now awakened by an emergency report from their messenger. He is so angry that he threw a pillow on the messenger’s face to wake him up.

"Brat, if this emergency of yours is not as good as I thought, this lord is going to rip your head from your neck," Hei Yu said grumpily.

The face of the messenger remained calm as if the one who was hit by the pillow just now wasn’t him at all. When he opened his mouth, the grumpy lord laying on his bed suddenly jumped out of it.

"Master, the person who possessed the command jade token of the Evernight Pavilion had arrived in the territory."

"..."

"What did you say!?" Hei Yu, the Assassin King, jumped off his expensive king sized bed in shock.

THUD!

The Command Jade Token, the symbol of ownership of the Evernight Manor. A black rose motif with a crescent moon. This Evernight Manor was actually created without even Hei Yu knowing who the owner of this place truly is. His master, the former leader of the Evernight Manor, said that this place was created by the person who possessed the Command Jade Token but the old master had never told any of his disciples about this person’s identity. His last words are only about the Command Jade Token of a black rose with crescent moon which is also the symbol of their organization.

Hei Yu, who is now standing, was running around his room looking for proper attire to wear. The Command Jade Token is something that symbolizes the ownership of the Evernight Manor, and it is something no one from this place can defy. After all, before joining the Evernight Manor, they were asked to make an oath of servility towards the owner who possessed the Command Jade Token, even though all these years no one had appeared bearing this token, now that the owner had finally arrived that he, Hei Yu, had to formally meet this owner of theirs.

"It would take a while for me to be ready. Send our esteemed guest to the private receiving hall and you are all to treat them with greatest respect as if meeting your god. As long as the Command Jade Token is real then... Even this lord had to lower his head before this person," Hei Yu said.

Now that their leader had spoken, the messenger from before had shown fear for the first time. He is like their boss, an old member of the Evernight Manor. Before the old master was gone, he had also experienced what it’s like to sell yourself to the Manor and make an oath to the heavens to serve the owner of the Command Jade Token. Even the newly joined individuals had done this oath but after not meeting the owner of the Command Jade Token, almost everyone in the manor had forgotten about this token. If not for it appearing now they would most likely forget about it.

However, the existence of the Command Jade Token is absolute for the Evernight Manor and everyone from this place would listen to the holder of the command jade token as anyone who possessed this token meant the ownership of the manor and everyone one it including their lives and existence. Even the Assassin King’s life was in the ownership of the one who possessed the command jade token.

The whole manor was now filled in tension and silence. The other guests were suddenly sent out the moment Yue Xuexia, Shen Jueyang, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue had arrived. Aside from being the best assassination organization in the whole Immortal World, the Evernight Manor also possessed powerful intelligence connections and there is almost nothing they didn’t know about the Immortal World.

In the highest class, the receiving hall in the manor...

The group led by the Goddess of the Moon was escorted in the most private and high-class room in the manor. Almost everything on the table served to them was the best of the best which this manor can serve. However, in the face of the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Goddess of the Moon who was served the best from anywhere they had come from, what kind of luxury hadn’t they experienced.

The people of the manor were moving nervously around this group especially in front of the Moon Goddess who possessed the Command Jade Token they could never defy.

"Your majesty...."

"Call me Mistress. As my people you can call me that," said the Goddess of the Moon.

By the time Hei Yu had arrived in the hall, his eyes which were composed before he had arrived had suddenly widened when he saw the face of the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor. Even though the two of them were in disguise, in reality they had only changed their original hair and eye color. As one of the best intelligence and assassination organizations there is no way, Hei Yu will not recognize these two people.

Hei Yu’s thoughts upon seeing the faces of the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Moon Goddess.

’What the hell isn’t that the Immortal Sun Emperor?! Didn’t they say that he left his empire to the Great General and made him regent? For him to be here, is he accompanying the lady beside him? Didn’t they say he is devoted to the Moon Empress in this life, if so is this lady the Goddess of the Moon?’

Then he noticed the Command Jade Token near the Moon Goddess who was nonchalantly enjoying her tea. When her gaze met with Hei Yu, the latter instantly felt nervous and kneel before the Goddess of the Moon.

"This servant, Hei Yu, greets the owner!" Hei Yu greeted as he fell on his one knee before the Moon Goddess.

Hei Yu’s actions surprised no one in the room, after all the moment the command jade token was brought out by the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia, everyone in the Evernight Manor had fallen under her control.

"Call me Mistress. There is no need to be so nervous. I only wanted your help in gathering a little information. Stand up, Hei Yu and join us on the table," said the Goddess of the Moon.

With the permission of his owner, Hei Yu sat on the same table as Yue Xuexia and the rest. Actually, it wasn’t just him recognizing the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang immediately recognized this man, Hei Yu, the assassin king that even dares to kill emperors.

Hei Yu sat at the table and asked, "Mistress, what are your orders?"

"I want all the information about the treasure land Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Site," answered Yue Xuexia.

Hei Yu and the other members of the manor who were listening to their conversation didn’t expect this to happen. They thought that with the appearance of the Command Jade Token, things would change as the owner had appeared. Who would have thought that their new owner would only ask for such simple things like gathering information and not take over Hei Yu and the others had imagined in their mind.

"Information about a treasure land? Mistress, is this all you need?" Hei Yu looked at the Moon Goddess observing her reaction.

"Yes, is there a problem? Is it hard to get any information?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Even though the expression on their Mistress’s face was emotionless and as composed as always, when he had asked this question, the Goddess of the Moon looked at him with a bit of confusion in her eyes as if asking him what kind of question is that. Upon seeing this expression on their Mistress, Hei Yu’s nervousness had slowly started to fade.

Hei Yu, the Assassin King, said, "It’s not that hard, Mistress. I will get everything ready for you! Please wait a moment."

"Alright. You can go ahead," said the Moon Goddess.

After hearing the request from their owner, Hei Yu, immediately commanded everyone in the manor about the thing the Goddess of the Moon wanted and her relationship with the Evernight Manor. As soon as Hei Yu left the room, the servile attitude he showed in front of the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor had completely disappeared.

"Someone brought me all the information about the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Site within an hour. Gather all information about the place and bring it over to me!" Hei Yu commanded.

Everyone who was hiding in the shadows observing and listening to the conversation was also a bit confused. But now that the task was issued everyone had to make a move for faster completion of the request of the Evernight manor’s owner.

"Yes, Leader!" All assassins in the Manor had responded to the command of Hei Yu, the Assassin King.
