Chapter 153: Rice-Eater

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Five days later, Shen Ying had finished what the rainbow sisters had made for lunch and was sitting at the table having dessert. Although the food was not as good as Chef’s, it wasn’t bad. She was just thinking about whether she should ask them to make more food when a figure landed on the ground in front of her.

“Master!”

“Hey, Chef!” Shen Ying exclaimed. She pushed aside the dessert in front of her and acted like she had not eaten. “You’re back!”

“You’re... alright?” Yi Qing stared at the woman seated at the table, not daring to blink.

“Huh?” She paused. “What could ha-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Yi Qing ran toward her side in a flash. She clenched her fists and the next moment, she found herself in Yi Qing’s arms. Er... it’s a little stuffy.

She started to push him aside, but she heard soft sobbing by her ears. “You’re alright... that’s great... that’s great!”

“Er...?” What’s happening? “Chef, you... Hey, Chef! Chef?”

The man who had been holding her in a deadlock earlier suddenly slid down toward the ground before Shen Ying could question him.

“Hey, hey, hey. Are you alright?” She caught him just in time and found that he had passed out. Then, she noticed that his entire body was covered in blood and wounds. He looked absolutely miserable.

Shen Ying frowned. She had not seen Chef in some time – how did he become so pathetic?

“Yi Qing, you freaking flew too quickly...” Lonemoon and Xun Shu landed, panting. They looked around the yard and spotted Shen Ying. Lonemoon sighed in relief. “The scourge of the millennium indeed. You’re really awake.”

“Father Niu, what happened to Chef?” Shen Ying asked, still supporting the unconscious Chef.

“What could have happened?” Lonemoon glared at her, as if blaming her. He stepped forward hand helped to support Yi Qing up, replying as he did so, “He’s retarded. He thought you would not come to, so he ran up to the capital and picked a fight with eight other emperors!”

“Then...” Shen Ying tilted her head. “Did he win?”

“...” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. Was that the point? At least act like a master. Wouldn’t your first reaction be to give him a lecture?

Xun Shu, who had been standing beside him, answered quickly, “He won!”

“Oh, that’s good!”

“Good your ass!” Can you be normal for once? Lonemoon controlled the urge to lash out at her and focused his attention on helping Yi Qing to his feet. “He’s seriously injured. I think he will be unconscious for some time. Let’s bring him into the house.”

As he finished speaking, Xun Shu came to his aid and together, they brought Yi Qing into the house. They inspected his injuries and finally relaxed.

“How is he?” Shen Ying asked.

“He’s alright. He flew for several days, so he’s drained of immortal Qi and extremely exhausted. He should be fine after a few days.”

“Oh.”

“Speaking of that...” He turned to glare at her once more and asked, “What happened to you these few days? You actually woke up on your own. That proves you weren’t even affected by that Soul Detachment Spell, right?”

“What spell?” What’s that?

“Weren’t you under a spell?”

“No!”

“Then why did your divine perception...”

“Oh, I’ve always had the habit of sleepwalking,” Shen Ying answered matter-of-factly. “But I am always too lazy to move. Just before I fell asleep, I was thinking about the customer you cheated back at the capital. I thought and thought, and then I became... a floaty.”

Customer? Shu Jiang!

“In other words... you weren’t affected at all by the Soul Detachment Spell?”

“That’s right!”

Lonemoon: “...”

Xun Shu: “...”

Everyone: “...”

They all glanced at the man on the bed and thought about the eight immortals in the capital who had been beaten to a pulp.

“Then where did your divine perception wander to for so many days? Why did you only come to now?”

“I wandered to the mortal realm.”

“What?” Lonemoon started. He was about to question her further when Si Yu walked into the hall.

“Reporting to Sect Master – two people have come to send a child here. They say... Sect Master gave them permission to enter.”

“Oh, yes!” Shen Ying nodded. She gave Si Yu permission to show them into the hall and then she walked out to meet them. As she was walking, she summarised what happened in the mortal realm.

Father Niu’s expression darkened and his glare became cutting. “You mean to say... you’ve found one more rice-eater? And you’ve brought her back?”

“Er... Father Niu, have some love! Didn’t you always do good things before?”

Lonemoon threw her a dirty look and did not bother to reply. “We’ll talk after we determine her quality.” If he didn’t have such high EQ, he would throw her to the lower realm immediately.

The few of them sat down for only awhile before Si Yu led the small child back into the hall. They had not met for just a few days, but the child already looked much taller. She looked about 12- to 13-years-old. She was no longer dressed in rags. Instead, she looked very presentable and sharp. Those little animals were good to her. The only thing was that she had fear in her eyes, like a rabbit who was ready to be caught any second.

Lonemoon frowned. For some reason, he really did not like her.

The child raised her head and looked at the group. Perhaps she did not find anyone familiar. She paused, then took a step back in caution. She lost her footing on the ground and fell forward instead, landing on the ground with a loud thump.

Si Yu started. She bent down to help the child up, and the child looked up at the exact same time. Her little head knocked Si Yu’s arm and rebounded because of the immortal Qi surrounding Si Yu’s body. Instinctively, she hugged her head as her entire body was thrown forward from the impact. She rolled all the way from the entrance to the feet of the group from Invincible Sect. She only stopped when she knocked into the leg of the stone table next to them. Bruises began to form on her forehead.

The beautiful robes she was wearing were now dirtied.

Everyone: “...”

Shen Ying pursed her lips. This unlucky jinx was indeed the original shortie she met in the mortal realm.

“Sor... sorry! I didn’t... do it on purpose!” The little child rubbed her forehead and raised her head in fear. Her eyes began to well up with tears. She looked like she was using all her willpower to hold back her tears. The uncle that brought her here told her that if she behaved, she would have a chance to meet the divine immortal who had protected her.

“This is the child?” Lonemoon reached out to support her arm, intending to help her to her feet. Yet, for some reason, his hand slipped so that he found himself only holding on to a portion of the child’s sleeve. The child fell down and hit the leg of the stone table once more.

Damn it, yet another bruise!

Lonemoon: “...”

At that moment, the entire group was staring at him.

“What are you staring at?” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. Why were they all staring at him as if he bullied the child? “I didn’t do it on purpose!” She was wearing a charmed robe, right? Why did it rip so easily? He immediately conjured a spell to mend her sleeve.

“I said before... this child is quite special!” Shen Ying explained. She was extremely unlucky.

Just as she said this, the child started. She looked up immediately and her eyes widened as she spotted Shen Ying. Suddenly, she was filled with joy and excitement.

“Divine... Divine Immortal? You’re Divine Immortal!” That voice – she must be right! The child could no longer hold her tears back. They began to flow down her cheeks, and she was reduced to tears in at once. She turned and ran toward Shen Ying, crying, “Divine Immortal, Divine Immortal...”

Er... she was not going to wipe her tears on Shen Ying, right?

“You’re not to be rude to Sect Master!” At that crucial moment, Yu Hong reached out and carried the child a few steps away from Shen Ying. The child might be their junior sister in future, but she still needed to learn her manners. They had not even had the chance to hug Master!

The child glanced at Shen Ying and then at Yu Hong, who stopped her. She pulled herself together, wiped the tears from her face and obediently retreated further. Yet, she kept her eyes fixed on Shen Ying. They seemed to be twinkling.

“Good girl!” Shen Ying patted her head.

“Child, come here!” Lonemoon gestured toward her and ordered. “You might have been brought here by Shen Ying, but if you want to join Invincible Sect, you must be of the right quality.”

He put two fingers to the centre of her forehead and released his divine perception into her spirit root.

“Water spirit root!” As if recalling something, Lonemoon frowned and quickly reached for her hand. He inspected her constitution and his expression darkened at once. “Holy shit! A natural Yin-type body! Shen Ying, what the f*ck are you doing!”
