Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

[Would you like to sign in for today, Xue'er?]

Yue Xuexia saw that she was being referred to by her name instead of her system, and she answered the system without complaining.

"Sign in, please~"

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations Xue'er, you've received the Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series! The car is in the System's inventory.]

"Wow~ another car. I'll drive it when I go to Korea. Will my driving license be useful abroad too?" asked Yue Xuexia.

[Don't worry. It's useful in any country.]

Yue Xuexia asked, "How many Novice gift bags do I have in inventory?"

[You've been lazy. You didn't wake up on time or eat on time except for dinner. This is for three days. But you fed the dogs every day and went to the greenhouse, helping your parents water the plants in it. You've accumulated 39 Novice gift bags for three days.]

"Isn't 39 already many?"

[If you did all your daily missions, you should at least get 80+ gift bags. What you got is not even half of it. You're really a salted fish.]

Yue Xuexia pouted and murmured, "I'm lazy~ that's normal. Let's open 9 gift bags first. Help me open them please and also leave the empty bags as usual."

[What are you going to use the bag for?]

"It's useful. I put cookies or candies in it and give it to children in an orphanage or something?"

[I will help you keep it.]

When Yue Xuexia learned of this, she grinned. Her method is genuinely compassionate and kind, but she was unaware that it would do anything for merit—the more pleased the recipient is, the more merits he is eligible to get.

[Ping! Miss Yue's Strength value had been Max. The system would transform Miss Yue's overall physique and increase her power physically. Now Xue'er had the strength to beat up all male average humans in this world.]

Yue Xuexia commented, "I don't want to look like a female version of Hulk! (QwQ)"

[You won't. Don't cry. Your physique would have changed, but your muscle strength is beyond normal. Don't get caught or you'll get experimented on.]

"D-D-Don't scare me!!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting Luan Level Attribute Value: Agility Value Max.]

[Ping! Miss Yue's agility value had been Max. Now Xue'er had the speed race against a Ferrari.]

Yue Xuexia commented, "Am I a female version of Flash or something!?"

Yue Xuexia asked, "Can the Blue and Indigo skills be upgraded?"

[Yes, you need three of the same blue skills to upgrade to the Indigo level and three Indigo skills to the Violet level.]

"Is there something above Master Level?" asked Yue Xuexia.

[You need five of the same Violet skills to raise it to a Godly level.]

"Wow~ that's not bad. Let's open up 10 more. Maybe I can upgrade a few skills. Please help me open it again."

Yue Xuexia's head nearly exploded from the overload of fresh information processing after gaining all those skills; the excruciating throbbing ache in her head was almost like having a migraine.

Ugh~

"My head hurts~ too much information~ I feel sick," said Yue Xuexia as she fell back down to her bed and closed her eyes. She can see things twirling with her eyes open. She can only close her eyes and wait for the dizziness to pass.

[Next time, you can ask Taiyang to beat up the people you wanted to beat up. There is no need to put yourself in danger.]

The system was talking about how she had confronted Shi Lang that day in the hotel.

Yue Xuexia said, "Don't worry~ didn't you give me close combat skill? That is extremely useful for things like that."

[He is your assistant. His job is to serve and protect you from harm.]

Little Taiyang materialized in his chibi form and said, "Don't worry, Xue'er! I will protect you next time. Just don't forget to buy me some food or cook some for me. You have cooking and baking skills, right?"

"Now that you said it, I'm bored. So let's make some cakes and pastries!" said Yue Xuexia as she jumped off the bed and changed her pajamas into homely clothes. She wore cotton black shorts and a plain white shirt. "There should be an apron in the kitchen. Sigh~ my sisters are going to their driving lesson. I need another helping hand."

She was murmuring those words when she saw the chibi little cultivator, Little Taiyang is right now. She grins and thinks of something.

"Yangyang~ my family hasn't met you yet, right? Go appear at my house as my office assistant, then you can help me in the kitchen to make sweets. Don't worry, we will make a lot~ I promise to give you half of everything."

"Deal!" Then Little Taiyang instantly disappeared, obviously preparing to materialize in his human form outside the mansion.

Yue Xuexia mumbles, "What should I make? Cheesecake, strawberry shortcakes, tarts, and a fruit cake with a little alcohol for my parents." with a happy humming as she makes her way down to the kitchen.

In the living, Yue Xuexia bumps into her parents, who were on their way to the greenhouse wearing comfortable farming clothes and straw hats.

"Xue'er, you're finally awake. There is lunch in the kitchen. Go reheat some if you are hungry," said Mama Yue.

Yue Xuexia, "Okay~ wait Ma, Pa, are the strawberries in the greenhouse ripe? Can I have a small basket? I want to make some desserts."

"It should be ripe. Your mother and I will pick some for you. What kind of dessert do you want to make?" asked Papa Yue.

Yue Xuexia listed down her cravings. "Well, I want to make a raspberry cheesecake, fruit tarts, strawberry shortcakes, brownies, and fruit cakes. I'll make a lot and give some next door as thanks to what my sister gave. Rou-Jiejie gave us a huge bowl of carbonara yesterday. It was delicious. Are there leftovers?"

"Check the fridge. There should be some of your sisters who didn't finish it all last night. Go! I'll send you the strawberries later," said Mama Yue.

Yue Xuexia heads to the kitchen on a run, as if in a hurry to eat. Seeing this, her parents couldn't help but shake their heads with a smile.

Mama Yue said, "She still acts like a child at such an age. Sigh~ when will she give me a grandchild?"

"Don't pressure her. She is busy with work, and... you know her health. I'm afraid it wouldn't fit her to give birth with such a weak body. It's fine. We still have two more daughters. We can still wait for a while," said Papa Yue.

Mama Yue understood what her husband had said. "Hm~ she was born with problems in the heart and grew up with asthma. She was sick all her life and hasn't enjoyed much excitement. It's good now that she is better."

With their baskets in hand, the Yue couple headed to the greenhouse to inspect their indoor mini-farms. If they were bored with this, they could visit the ranch to ride horses, milk cows, or even butcher a pig or some cattle. If they were still bored, they could swim in the pool or go fishing in the fish pond. Lastly, they could visit the orchard to gather fruit because their eldest had made sure to plant all the seasonal fruit trees, so they would always have something to pick from the trees.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen...

Put on an apron overall, Yue Xuexia pulled out all the ingredients she would need to make the pastries she had planned, starting with a large bowl in front of her and filling it with flour and baking powder to make the batter for a milky chiffon cake that would serve as the foundation for her strawberry shortcake.

Humming~

Yue Xuexia had all the necessary tools in the kitchen; she just needed to mix everything that needed to be mixed. After a while, she began pouring the mixture into the cake molds; instead of creating a large cake, Yue Xuexia created mini cakes (she used 6 mold trays with 9 mold shapers), so she could have a total of 54 mini cakes—most of which an adult could finish in two to three bites.

Yue Xuexia started preparing the icings or different flavors after she put the mold in the large oven in the kitchen. She made a white one for strawberry shortcakes, a mango-flavored icing, a chocolate-flavored one, etc., because she knew it would take some time for the cake to bake. She also started slicing fruits of all shapes and freezing them before combining the ingredients for tarts, macaroons, cookies, and brownies. She was so focused on the kitchen that she forgot to ask Little Taiyang for assistance.

Little Taiyang had been standing outside the mansion's gates and was ringing the doorbell under the gaze of the guards outside the mansion.

"Tsk! Has she forgotten she called me here? I want to leave but if I leave, my cakes and sweets would be all gone. No way! I need to get her to bring me inside," mumbled Little Taiyang as he just finished ringing the doorbell multiple times.

Beep~

He was about to contact Yue Xuexia through her mind when Mama Yue's face appeared on the security screen in front of him.

[Hello! Who may you be? My~ what a handsome guy. Are you looking for someone in our family? You look the same age as my youngest. Are you in college, son?]

Little Taiyang felt a bit helpless yet shy when Mama Yue mentioned his baby face appearance and said,

"Um, ~ is Miss Yue Xuexia around? I am her assistant, Tai Yang. She told me to come over to bring the files she needs to sign. And... Cough! Madam Yue... I am an adult that is only a few years younger than your eldest daughter. I am a working adult," said Taiyang as he showed his ID showing his age as 26 years old. He is indeed older than her youngest and as old as her second daughter.

[Uhmo! I'm sorry. You just look so young, so I thought... Hehe~ you came for Xue'er, right? Did you bring a car over? I will open the gates now.]

"Thank you, Madam Yue," said assistant Taiyang politely.

The discussion came to an end at that point, and the enormous gates of the Moonlight Lake Mansion opened. Taiyang returned to his black BMW M760i xDrive Sedan and drove inside, where he was greeted by Mama and Papa Yue in the living room. In his role as a true assistant, he bowed his head to the parents of the great Yue Xuexia and made an official introduction.

"A pleasure to meet you, Sir Yue and Madam Yue. I am Yang, surnamed Tai. The personal assistant of Miss Yue Xuexia. I help with buying assets of her wish and handling everything with regards to all her companies."

"This is Tai Yang's first visit. Please accept these gifts from me, Sir Yue, and Madama Yue."

As always, Little Taiyang behaved politely, but even more so in front of Yue Xuexia's parents, for whom he even prepared gifts: a priceless bottle of Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon for Papa Yue and a set of pink diamond jewelry for Madam Yue. These gifts would be out of the ordinary for them, but who made Assistant Tai their eldest daughter's assistant? They knew that these kinds of gifts were now commonplace given Xue'er's social status and had even received some land deeds as gifts or offers to attract Yue Xuexia's attention.

When Yue Xuexia emerged from the kitchen at this very moment, Papa Yue had no choice but to accept, and Mama Yue was thrilled to see such rare colored diamonds. They greeted him in the living room.

Yue Xuexia said, "Ma, where are the strawberries I've asked for...? Hm? You're finally here, Yangyang. Come to the kitchen and bring the strawberries with you. There is an extra apron in the cabinet beside the fridge. Help me. The first batch has been made. You can eat that if you want to. Bring some over to the living room for my parents as well."

She went back to the kitchen without even waiting for him to arrive; Assistant Taiyang appeared hesitant to move because Yue Xuexia's parents were still speaking with him.

Mama Yue chuckles, seeing his embarrassment, "Go now. Leave those papers to Papa Yue to hold them for you. That child... she is even making the guest do chores with her. Sigh~"

"T-Then please excuse me for a bit," said Taiyang as he gave the folders to Papa Yue.

He began to undo his handcuffs, to roll up his sleeves, to take off his coat that was hanging on the living room coat rack; he changed into slippers, carried the basket of fresh strawberries that had evidently been harvested that very morning, and made his way to the kitchen.

Mama Yue and Papa Yue looked at this situation with unknown expressions on their faces.

"What do you think, Papa? Is he Xue'er's boyfriend?" asked Mama Yue.

Papa Yue took a cup of tea from the table and sipped slowly. Before answering his wife's question, and said,

"No. Xue'er looks at him like a little brother. Not a boyfriend."

Mama Yue said, "Sigh~ I thought so too. Our Xue'er like mature men instead. She doesn't like younger ones as she treats them all as younger brothers. By the way, what's in the folder?"

The pair took a seat next to each other and opened the folder containing three new transfer ownership deeds. The properties included were large properties that had been frequently featured on television, such as the Blue Sea Mansion. They had also heard about the HYBE Entertainment Company and the Lotte Tower Building in Korea.

Mama Yue and Papa Yue were no longer shocked; in fact, when Fu Rue and Lin Xiyu visited the previous time, they had a few businesses registered in the names of their eldest daughters; they were aware of the Crowned Regent Hotel, but they were astonished to learn that the Island Hospital 'Sanctuaries Gardens' and BlackApp Company are also owned by Xuexia. Nevertheless, they were no longer shocked to learn that the Moonlight Lake Mansion was also carelessly purchased by their eldest daughter.

Mama Yue said, "Does this mean we don't need to look for accommodation when we go on vacation in Korea? Not only does our family have a private jet, but now we also have a hotel in Korea. Sigh~ I guess I should plan for routes and visit all tourist spots in Korea before we go there."

"Don't worry. I will help you, wife~" said Papa Yue as they cuddled in the living room.
