“You… How did you…” She still looked lost in her senses as she stared baffled at the person before her. She had trapped her, why was it so easy…
Shen Ying had already held her to the ground with a slap and she followed to sit down cross-legged beside her, bringing out a few plates of pastries at the same time, looking like she was intending to have a long and deep talk.
Sitting in a momentary daze, she seemed to recall something and suddenly lifted her head to shout towards the two people who were in a heated battle, “Chef, Father Niu, stop fighting! Come! Let’s have a good talk.”
With that, she reached towards the white light under her and tapped forcefully. With a resounding slap, some indistinct energy seemed to scatter out instantly. It swept towards the battlefield and the giant beasts instantly became a million motes of tiny sparks like shattered glass and returned to the original source.
Whereas Fang Fang who’d been forced to sit down felt some familiar energy return into her body at once. In the next moment, those ghastly wounds on her body healed.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing who were now missing their opponents then shared a look, put their swords away and walked back, seating themselves right opposite the other two. Lonemoon even glared at Shen Ying, should have said earlier if you’re gonna act, making them fight all day.
Shen Ying supported her head with a hand and turned towards Fang Fang once again. “Alright, come, tell us your story!”
Fang Fang: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Fang Fang faltered for a good while before coming back to her senses. Still staring at the trio with resentment, but she did not strike again. That seemingly casual slap of Shen Ying earlier was utterly shocking. She’d also understood that with her capabilities, she wouldn’t be a match for them at all. Shen Ying had only refrained from acting earlier, no, even if she did not act, she might not be able to beat the other two Managers.
“Oh, yes!” Shen Ying swept a look across her and seemed to have thought of something as she turned towards Yi Qing and said, “Chef, let her use the what… washing machine spell?”
The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he interrupted, “That’s the dust-removing spell!” Screw your washing machine.
“Oh, yes, the dust-removing spell.” Shen Ying nodded. “Otherwise, with the blood all over her, it makes it seem like she’s telling a ghost story.”
“Yes, Master!”
“What yes? We can’t use spells! As if you’ll be able… F*ck!” Before he could finish, he saw a spell of Chef go and the bloodstains on her body disappeared completely, with the exception of a few holes, it was as clean as a new set of clothes. “How is it that he could suddenly…” Hold on, he sensed instinctively and realized that the divine power in his body had returned, not to mention being able to switch between Immortal Qi and Spirit Qi at will.
What’s going on?
“Oh. I just opened a back door.” From their plane.
Lonemoon: “…”
He vaguely felt something snap in his mind.
“If you could open a back door, would it kill you to do it earlier!” Made them work so hard for a good half of the day.
“You didn’t ask me to open it either!” Shen Ying wore an innocent expression.
“…” A mouthful of blood.
Fang Fang who was looking on: “…”
Were these three people really managers? Why did they look to be so unreliable? She somehow wanted to ask, was their plane still alive?
——————
The never-ending story of Fang Fang’s plane in short was the story of a successful intrusion. Only it wasn’t done by one intruder but a dozen managers at once. In the end it led to the collapse of her plane, only leaving an area the size of this little world now.
And that Big Dao Organization was indeed as Shen Ying had said, a union made up of the managers of every plane. According to Fang Fang, there were already more than a dozen managers in it and most of them came from an immortal spirit plane similar to Yi Qing and Lonemoon’s.
But the nature of it was different from the administrative committee that Shen Ying had once interacted with. The administrative committee was formed to resolve internal communications and interactions, whereas this was formed as an alliance against external forces. Though they did not initiate wars, they will charge forward in a crowd and counter-intrude the other party’s plane.
Although it is self-preservation in name, their approach was relentless and arbitrary, without listening to any explanations. They were also continuously recruiting new members, Fang Fang was also one of the invited members back then, but she had seen through their despotic nature and had rejected them directly.
Even so, she suffered the revenge of the Big Dao Organization. Those people saw her as a threat and attacked. After exhausting all means, she managed to retain the last bit of the plane’s original source. Initially, she had thought she could start afresh but was still found by those people.
“They trapped me in this little world and locked up the last of the original source so I cannot escape, neither can I save my own plane.” Her eyes were empty, as if her entire person had lost its life, completely filled with despair. “I could only watch as my plane move towards death, what’s laughable is that they even used this broken land of mine as the location for their trials to select their allies, that’s thoroughly making use of things too!”
She suddenly looked up and broke into a mocking smile. “All of you are the selected members for the trial this time.”
Shen Ying turned silent, Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s expression also did not look too good, they did not expect that what Big Dao Organization was such a bunch of people.
After a good while, Lonemoon then spoke up. “What’s the criterion for their selection?”
Her smile became even colder as she inhaled deeply and said, “Find out the truth about this world, find the correct path that leads to the Big Dao Organization.”
“So simple?”
“Simple?” Fang Fang turned her head and glanced at him, the deeply ingrained resentment from earlier surfacing again. “To you all it is naturally simple, but to me it is a disaster time and time again!”
“What do you mean?” Lonemoon frowned.
“Did you think that you three are the first batch of managers I met?” She chuckled coldly. “Not many of them were like you three, totally oblivious about what the Big Dao Organization was. Most had long heard about the existence of the Big Dao Organization and were so eager to join them. Of course, they also knew there would be such a test, but when they totally cannot find the way, what did you think they did?”
“…” Lonemoon faltered, his gaze dimming at once.
While Fang Fang continued to smile coldly. “The best idea they could come with, was of course to find me and ask for the correct path. But they have no way of finding me easily, so they could only force me to show myself. Some would still voice some threats, others simply massacred the city, forcing me to obey! The people in this city are already the last of my living beings, they’re not afraid that I won’t obey and their methods are effective every single time.”
“…”
“So, instead of sitting passively and await doom, why not strike first to gain the upper hand!” Her gaze swept across them. “Even if I must die, why shouldn’t I cause some trouble to annoy these bastards.”
