Yi Qing turned and directly pushed two plates of dishes he just finished into his hands, “Father Niu, you take them to Master first. It’s already one hour late.”
“You… you…” Lonemoon took the two plates subconsciously, and his eyes widened in even more surprise. Only after a long while did he say loud, “You’ve remembered!”
Holy shit! No wonder he suddenly reached Soul Formation. It was actually because he had restored his original state.
“Yeah!” Yi Qing nodded.
“Why didn’t you say just now then?”
“I thought you have realized it.” Master did.
“…” Motherf*cker!
What does he mean by realized. Does this master-disciple pair have to be the same in manners too? Are you worthy of all my worries?
——————
Perhaps because of that last lightning, Yi Qing’s memories recovered, and his cultivation speed naturally returned to that of a divine race. Yet only due to the limitations of his body, it had yet to return to his original level.
The reason that he was Soul Formation now might be because this was the lower realm. Since he had not received the assistant seal completely, he was limited by the rules of the lower realm, and his cultivation was suppressed to Soul Formation.
Lonemoon thought that this was good news indeed. It seemed that before that, they would be able to return to the Celestial World. It’s just that…
“What the hell is this?” Before Lonemoon was able to put down the two plates of dishes, he saw that there was a vague shadow beside the lazy Shen Ying. Ghost Qi came out of its body. It was a ghost indeed, where on earth did it come from?
“It came out of someone’s body!” Shen Ying replied casually.
“What bo-” Lonemoon stopped halfway through the sentence, and as if he remembered something, his face tightened. “The original soul that was trapped inside the intruder’s body!”
“Hmm.” Shen Ying took over the dishes in his hands, and grabbed the chopsticks and immediately started eating, “So hungry.”
Lonemoon looked towards that ghostly shadow, whose expression was all horrified. Upon a closer look, he indeed had the identical body to Jing Qi at the moment. But it was extremely weak, and translucent like smoke that would disperse with the slightest gust of wind.
“How did he end up here?” His expression was blank. “Wasn’t he suppressed by Jing Qi inside the body, and unable to get out?”
Shen Ying replied in the break between eating, “Chef’s Sword Qi.”
Lonemoon was stunned, remembering the contest just now. “You mean Chef’s Sword Qi directly forced him out?”
“Hmm.”
“But it can’t be. How can Sword Qi be enough to force it out? The intruder was able to suppress it because of the karma…”
Wait. When they brought Chef back just now, the karma on that Jing Qi seemed… pretty much gone. Is it due to this, beside Chef’s sudden burst of Sword Qi, that it lost the suppression on the original soul, letting this one be squeezed out?
“Did you guess early on that this would happen, so you let Chef fight?” Apparently, before he fought with Chef, the karma on that boy was abundant. After the fight, there wasn’t much left, and even the original soul was squeezed out.
Shen Ying didn’t reply, but actually used the break when drinking water to say, “Father Niu, after eating you go and get that little girlfriend of Chef here for a moment.”
“For what?” Lonemoon glanced at her. Isn’t she your new girl fan?
“Master, let me go!” Yi Qing had already come out of the kitchen. He laid out the finished dishes on the table in front of Shen Ying one by one. Then his body shape flashed, and he disappeared.
In a short while, he brought a girl, whose expression was all excited, to the two.
“Big sister!” Lily’s eyes brightened instantly, and she was already jumping and rushing towards Shen Ying.
Chef moved fast and dragged her back at once.
Lily immediately stared towards Yi Qing behind her like a fireball.
“This person is in your charge!” Shen Ying suddenly spoke, pointing towards the ghost which wore a blank expression, and was already starting to lose consciousness.
“What person?” Lily was shocked too, and as though she had only seen the ghost at the side, she cried out, “Gh-Ghost! Big sister, it’s so scary!” Her little face whitened, and she turned to rush towards Shen Ying again.
But again she was stopped by Yi Qing, who with a height advantage, grabbed the girl’s collar and threw her out.
Hmph! Little bitch! If I really let you near Master, I’m not called Chef!
╭(╯^╰)╮
“Shen Ying, what are you doing?” Lonemoon’s face was all confused. “Why are you giving him to a little girl?” What if she got possessed by the intruder again?
“Ah?” Shen Ying’s head inclined. “Aren’t ghosts in the charge by Meng Po?”
“Ghost are in Meng Po’s charge indeed. But what’s it to do with…” He stopped mid-sentence, and as if something in his mind clicked, he turned towards the girl at the side. “You are Meng Po!”
Lily was stunned, her face in complete confusion. “What Meng…” Just as she was about to ask, her look suddenly changed. The original innocent expression was replaced with a knowing looking, and the aura all over her body changed at the same time, as though some seal was suddenly broken. After a while, she smiled at them regretfully. “Sect master is a manager indeed. Even this gets recognized by you.”
His body changed suddenly from the look of Lily back to that of a little dwarf. She said, a bit upset, “I’ve clearly sealed the memory already.”
Lonemoon, “…” It was real!
Holy shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!
“You knew it early on!” Lonemoon stared at Shen Ying in disbelief, and as he remembered something, looked also towards Chef, “You knew it too!”
“Yup!” The two nodded together. Isn’t this very obvious?
“What ‘yup’!” He went a little crazy. “Why did neither of you tell me?” What happened to your love for teammates? Would it hurt to give a notice?
“Eh?” The two looked at one another and said together like one, “I thought you knew!”
“How can I possibly know!” It would be strange if he did okay?
Seeing that the person in front of her was going to go away in a craze, Shen Ying suddenly looked up and said, “Father Niu! Have you never activated the assistant authority?”
“What assistant…” He was stunned for a moment. With a movement in his mind, some light seemed to suddenly flash in front of his eyes. In the next instant, everything in front of him looked different, especially Lily: the words “turbid residual consciousness” suddenly appeared above her head. All the info about her also appeared suddenly in his mind, as if a character intro was suddenly opened. Even the ghost at the side had the words “Jing Qi” appearing above his head. Yet his info was only up till ten years old, and there was nothing afterwards.
Shit! So the manager assistant actually has such a special function!
“Next time, with any assistant functions, can you please give me a notice beforehand!” He stared towards Shen Ying. I am an assistant, not a nanny!
“Don’t so concerned over these small details.”
“Get lost!”
You’re just freaking lazy, aren’t you?
“Wait!” He suddenly remembered a problem. He turned towards Chef. Shen Ying was a manager, it was not strange that she recognized Meng Po. “How did you recognize her then?” He wasn’t a real assistant yet.
Yi Qing looked at him and replied in all seriousness, “Because nobody can see Master at first sight!”
Lonemoon, “…”
Meng Po: “…”
Shen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!
She felt like she was stabbed somewhere!
