After Shen Jing left, the place remained silent for two full minutes, before the mood of the three relaxed. As if they had agreed, they let out a long, relieved sigh together. Lonemoon sat down directly upon the sofa.
They were so scared!
She was finally gone. Big Boss Shen was much scarier than the intruders.
“Master…” Yi Qing went took a step forward, his face full of concern. He looked over Shen Ying carefully. “Are you… alright? Did that intruder hurt you?” With that said, he pulled his hand and started checking her pulse, uncertain.
Shen Ying’s face blushed, and her heart was warm. Was her boyfriend so worried about her? Hmm, he was a passable boyfriend, and worth some encouragement.
With that said, he tried to keep up a smile. He said with a face full of seriousness, “Hmph! Just a mere intruder, I have seen enough of such. How could he hurt me?” With that said, her icy look glanced up and down the person opposite her. Remember his injuries from just now, she felt a bit of pity and then added, “By the way… you’ve already mastered the real ability of the assistant, how stupid were you to still get beaten up so badly by intruders.”
“…” That was a knife in the heart!
Pui…
Even Chef had a day of getting despised for combat ability. Lonemoon couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Yet Shen Ying’s glance swept towards him next, “What right does another who was also beaten badly to laugh at him?”
Lonemoon, “…” Also a knife in the heart!
“Hey, hey…” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but say, “That intruder was a Manager of another plane, and someone who has destroyed ten planes! We held on for so long at least. Besides, who was that one who cried so sadly and called for parent?”
“…” Shen Ying’s face paled. She seemed to just remember that, and her whole person stiffened. The things after returning to three years old, though she hasn’t much impression of them, she still vaguely remembered some of it. The reason that Big Sister suddenly appeared here seemed… perhaps… probably… really because she called for her.
Her face went darker and darker. So… so shameful. She actually called for a parent for rescue. This was absolutely her single worst history in fifteen years!
(*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
What to do? What to do? She lost face in front of her inferiors.
Fifteen-year-old Shen Ying felt a great panic in her heart! Yet the indifference on her face remained exactly the same. She turned away directly, and said with a look of seriousness, “Next, we still have to deal with the problem of intrusion leftovers.”
Lonemoon, “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
She was changing the subject, right? Absolutely! She didn’t even dare to meet his eyes any more!
“Master, what leftovers problem?” Yi Qing felt relieved, letting go of her hand, giving his own Master a way out.
“With those small worlds, of course.” Shen Ying hurried to click open a light screen. Perhaps intentionally, it covered her face perfectly. Very good, the subject was changed successfully.

She pointed to the plane tree in front and said with an expression that was still cold, “Didn’t you realize that the plane tree still hasn’t recovered? Even the Manager himself came for the intrusion, which proved that their whole plane intruded together. Though the Manager is dead, those people who had already intruded into the small worlds will still affect this world if we don’t hurry up and deal with them.”
The faces of the two sank. They turned towards that golden plane tree, and just as Shen Ying said, those white patterns which occupied the River of Forgetfulness was fainter than before, with signs of turning back to golden, but still didn’t disappear. The whole tree looked sick and malnourished, there were even leaves dropping to the ground occasionally.
“What do we do then?” Lonemoon frowned. There were really too many intruders, those who attacked the immortal realm alone was countless. Besides, their real forms were that kind of invisible white light. Not only that, they could also invade one’s consciousness, and with purposeful camouflage, it was hard to tell. “We can’t possibly go to every small world to find them. How long that would take!” Besides, most of those things occupied the River of Forgetfulness, which meant that they were constantly on the move. It was simply impossible to get them out completely.
“Of course we can’t look for every one of them.” Shen Ying’s hand which manipulated the light screen didn’t stop. Lines and lines of data swept through it. She looked for a long while before saying, “I analyzed the data of that Manager. Their existence was based on communal living in the form of beehives. Their original plane should have disappeared long ago. The Manager was like the bee queen. With him dead now, the other intruders won’t live long before they disappear slowly. Only that, this time may be between several decades and several centuries.”
“So long!” Lonemoon was shocked, and he felt anxious. “Those things will occupy consciousness. The longer they were on a person, the more consumption it caused the soul. “It was better for immortals or cultivators, who can perhaps sustain several decades, but if it is on a mortal, the person’s soul and spirit would dissipate completely.”
“That’s why I said they’re to be dealt with immediately.” Shen Ying closed the light screen and took a deep breath. “Luckily, most of them intruded into the small worlds through the River of Forgetfulness, and the time elapsed was not long. The aura has yet to disappear I should be able to track them, and try to clear them out at one go.”
With that said, she reached out with one hand and directly pressed on the tree trunk. Chef who never spoke just now suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. “Master…” He looked at the person in front of him with concern. Alerted by previous occurrences, he was even more worried about her. “Maybe… let me do it first?” Shen Jing said her body had yet to recover completely. He was really afraid something unpredictable might happen.
Shen Ying was stunned briefly. Her head tilted. “But you’re not a Manager, you can’t control the whole plane.”
Yi Qing turned to look at the tree in front of him. For some reason, a strange sensation went across his heart, and he felt as though he could do it. “I’ll just try once!”
“Alright.” Shen Ying stepped back.
He took a step forward, pressed one hand onto the tree trunk, and closed his eyes. Suddenly, something came out from his body. As compared to the assistant ability from last time, it was much milder this time. For a time, the whole tree rustled, as though replying to something.
In a short while, a golden glow started coming out of the whole tree, and it became brighter and brighter. Even the meadows in their surroundings looked like they were dyed golden. Suddenly, dots of white light drifted from the tree, and went towards the surroundings like snowflakes. Those white patterns on the tree which occupied the River of Forgetfulness also disappeared slowly, returning to the original gold color. In less than ten minutes, the originally sickly tree returned to liveliness like spring had come for a dried-up tree. Even those leaves which fell upon the ground floated back up and onto the twigs, like a video played backwards.
In another ten minutes, those drifting white light dots grew lesser, and eventually disappeared completely. At this time, the plane tree had already returned to its original state. Yi Qing opened his eyes and withdrew his hand. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he felt that the plane tree looked even stronger than before.
“Well done, Chef!” Lonemoon was slightly shocked as well. At first he thought he was only worried about Shen Ying, but he didn’t expect him to really chase off all those intruders. “I didn’t expect you to actually have such an ability?” Looking at those white light dots which drifted out, one could know how horrible the number of intruders was. Though he himself had already completely mastered the power of assistants, he couldn’t be confident of doing as well as such. “Tell me, how did you do it?”
“I… I don’t know.” Yi Qing looked at his palm blankly. In the moment that he touched the plane tree, he only did that subconsciously, and then those intruders were gone. It was like… an instinct?
“Never mind, good that it’s dealt with.” Lonemoon didn’t care about it as well. He said as he opened the plane passage, “We’d better hurry back. I don’t know what’s it like in the sect right now.”
Yi Qing nodded, and caught Shen Ying habitually, “Master! Time to go home and eat.”
“Oh.” Only then did Shen Ying follow. She turned back to look at the plane tree, and then at the boyfriend in front of her. Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
Hmm? Could it be that…
