Lonemoon sensed it for a moment, sure enough the entire Divine Realm was connected to that plane, this seemed to be the common space of the two planes. Perhaps because Hong Meng was still dividing the worlds, that purple tree was still growing, it did not look as thick and strong as the big gold tree, even on its branches, there were only one or two pitifully small leaves, they were newly born little worlds after all.
Lonemoon stop paying attention to it after one look and waited for the division and formation of worlds to be completed. With a thought, the pitch dark Divine Realm instantly changed, a field of green grass appeared other than the two plane trees.
Chef informed, “Master, I’ll go make lunch!” With that said, he turned and walked away, skillfully pulling out pots and pans.
Lonemoon waved his hand and tables and chairs appeared, on second thought, he changed them to an even more comfortable set of sofa and side table. For once, he even kindly made two cups of tea and handed one to Shen Ying. “Here!”
“Oh.” Shen Ying immediately took it and drank a sip, then continued to nibble on her fruit.
Whereas Lonemoon turned and sat on the sofa beside them, then fixed his gaze on the person opposite…
Until a certain person felt her goosebumps rise and the taste of her fruit a little different, did she finally speak up, “Sigh, go ahead and ask.”
“Honestly speaking, why did you do that?” Lonemoon asked bluntly. “If it is just being lazy and not wanting to manage it, you’re not any much more hardworking right now? There’s no need for such an unnecessary move.”
“Er…”
“I am not Chef!” Lonemoon’s eyes darkened, his expression solemn, only there was some worry faintly caught in his eyes. Something suddenly came to mind as he abruptly widened his eyes, “Is anything going to happen to you again?!”
“It’s… not really!” Shen Ying sighed, turning to glance at Chef who was cooking at the other side, she put down the fruit in her hand before saying seriously, “It’s just that after I woke up from my dormancy the previous time, I realized there’s been some changes.”
“What changes?!” Lonemoon tensed up at once.
“I can’t put it in words.” Shen Ying shook her head. “I just felt that I shouldn’t continue managing the plane, so I transferred them to you two.”
“Then will anything happen to you?”
“No, this is not a bad change.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
Father Niu’s tensed up nerves then relaxed. He thought for a moment before asking again, “Does your sister know? Why don’t we inform her!” Though she was a Demon King, but in critical times, she was much more reliable than Shen Ying.
Shen Ying’s figure froze. “No need, if she did know, she should have noticed after I woke up the previous time.”
Lonemoon agreed on further thought, with the extent of Shen Jing’s sister complex, she should have found out long ago. If she hasn’t, it could only be that Shen Ying’s changes were something even she could not notice.
“Don’t worry Father Niu.” Shen Ying continued eating her fruit and said, “Who knows, I might be able to find out the reason in no time.”
“But now that you’ve transferred the plane to us, then… then what are you now?” He was really bad at asking questions. “Weren’t we your assistants? But now…”
Before he could finish, Shen Ying suddenly touched the middle of his forehead. He felt a cooling sensation at the spot and instantly a black and white image floated out of his body.
This was…
“The assistant seal!” Lonemoon was shocked, this was the assistant’s mark that Shen Ying gave them in the past. “Why is it still here?”
Shen Ying retracted her hand, the mark floated back into Lonemoon’s body again.
“So it means that, even if I’m no longer the Manager, you both are still my assistants.”
“…” In other words they’d only changed to a nicer sounding position but in reality, they were still working for her? What’s with the feeling of suddenly wanting to resign?
However, it was great she was fine. That the assistant’s mark was still around, proved that there was no problem with her cheat function and he could not sense the situation that she was in the previous time she had over-expended herself. He did not want to the Shen Fifteen period in her dormancy again, Baby Ying, he could still consider.
Lonemoon glanced at her, his eyes dimmed and he downed half a cup of tea before continuing to ask, “Since you’re fine, why didn’t you tell me about taking over the plane right at the start?”
Shen Ying paused, turning her head to look at him, she only replied with her head tilted after a while. “To get a few more months of food allowance?”
“No conscience, scram!” Lonemoon rolled her eyes. “When have I given you less?” Even after saying he’d deduct each time, he still gave it in the end! He snatched the fruit away from her hand in one grab. “You little heartless one! You were probably afraid that I would overthink? That’s why you got Chef to hide it from me too?”
“…” Shen Ying did not say anything, only took out a new fruit and continued to nibble on it lazily.
Lonemoon did not continue to persist and instead asked, “What’s with Chef then? I didn’t see any changes with him previously, how is he suddenly a Manager?”
“Because it’s time.” Shen Ying lazily explained, “He was the original Manager that the plane’s consciousness chose, and Godfiend and Kai Tian, they’d been too anxious and brought me to this plane. Previously Chef had not grown up and my capabilities were above his.”
“So…” Lonemoon was shocked, “Back when you took over the plane, the plane chose you directly and gave up on Chef.”
“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded and added after some thought, “It’s not considered giving up, his capabilities has always been growing. He only completely developed into a Manager after that battle with the intruding Manager so I just handed things over.”
“Damn, no wonder he was a little cheat the whole time!” Turns out the plane had opened the back door for him right from the start, this bunch of cheating dogs!
Lonemoon ranted, then as if having thought of something in the next moment, he turned towards Shen Ying with an odd expression. “Don’t tell me that you were worried I would feel indignant, so you kept it from me the whole time, then stuffed the other plane to me as a consolation prize?” After all, they were both plane assistants, if one was suddenly promoted, the other would definitely feel a little upset. Besides, if they were to get to the bottom of it, he was the one who was innocently dragged into this world.
Shen Ying paused in the munching of her fruit, then turned to look towards him, her expression serious for once. “It’s not a consolation prize, I intended to do that from the very start, because… Father Niu is indeed very outstanding.”
Lonemoon choked, suddenly feeling awkward, he subconsciously put a hand to her forehead. “Praising me so seriously, have you gone silly?” He was not used to her without her sharp remarks.
“…” Could they have a proper conversation?
Shen Ying’s mouth twitched and she continued speaking after a moment.
“Father Niu, getting the approval of the plane, isn’t a simple matter.” She inhaled deeply. “My sister had to block multiple intrusions into her plane before she got complete control; Chef worked hard for three thousand years and even reloaded once to pass through the plane to find us; and me, I didn’t even have the right to be born at the very start.They could not take a wrong step, otherwise they might lose the whole game.”
Lonemoon faltered, that’s why they did not tell him the truth beforehand, to not distract him and allow him to focus on taking over that plane.
As for whether he wanted to be a Manager, cut the crap, he naturally did!
