Lonemoon’s mouth twitched in frustration. He felt a sudden impulse to leave. He has had enough of being led on the nose by this cheat. Enough was enough!
Taking a deep breath, he managed to regain his composure. He flew down to where Yi Qing was standing, covered in blood.

Hey, Chef…
Are you still alive?
Just as Lonemoon was about to continue, he heard Yi Qing ask menacingly,
Tell me how to undo the spell you cast on my Master.

Ge You, the sorry heap of flesh lying on the ground, did not reply. Instead, a fountain of blood spurted out from his mouth.



Let me ask you once again. How to undo the spell?
Yi Qing stepped harder on Ge You, causing him to spit out even more blood.
Lonemoon’s mouth twitched in exasperation. Ge You was already so seriously injured, yet that cheat Yi Qing still persisted in questioning him. How the hell do you expect him to talk if you don’t remove your foot first?
Pui…
As he had expected, Ge You, who had been in no condition to speak, lost consciousness.

Yi Qing, calm down!
Lonemoon stepped in to intervene.
He won’t be able to tell you anything if you carry on like this.


But, what about Master…
Yi Qing looked at him anxiously.

There’s no point worrying. Xun Shu said that the spell won’t cause harm to her body.
Lonemoon added,
Killing him won’t help matters.

After giving the matter some thought, Yi Qing removed his leg from Ge You’s body. Then his erect body started to sway. It looked as if he was about to fall any moment.

Careful!
Xun Shu reached out his hand to steady him. He felt Yi Qing’s pulse and exclaimed in astonishment,
How is it you’re still alive…!

Taken aback by Xun Shu’s outburst, Lonemoon grabbed Yi Qing’s other wrist. He found that Yi Qing’s meridians were badly damaged and the immortal Qi in his body was totally depleted. His abdomen was badly crushed and his immortal bones were broken in several places. If they had arrived any later, he might not be able to lift a wok in the future.


Instead of regulating his meridians immediately, he was interrogating his enemy! Yi Qing must be mad!

Don’t you have any brains?
Lonemoon felt his anger erupting. Pointing to Yi Qing, he scolded,
You should retreat when you’re outnumbered. Why do you fight like there’s no tomorrow? All you’ve picked up from Shen Ying is her trouble-making skills, why don’t you learn some of her shameless methods?

Yi Qing whipped around immediately, staring daggers at him. Forcing down the blood that had surged up his throat, he hissed through gritted teeth,
Don’t you dare… insult Master!


Holy Shit!
 Will this brain-damaged fan ever be cured? 
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Lonemoon said,
Regulate your meridians quickly if you want to live!

Yi Qing sat down but his eyes were still looking at Ge You, whose bloodied body was now totally motionless.

Don’t worry, he’s in no condition to escape.

Reassured, Yi Qing closed his eyes and began regulating his meridians.
Although the injuries Yi Qing sustained had not damaged his foundation, they were serious nonetheless. His opponents had been emperor-level immortals and he had even fought against seven of them all at once. Indeed, it was a miracle that he was still alive. He would not be able to activate his sword Qi until his immortal bones were healed.
Yi Qing and Xun Shu set up a few array formations around Yi Qing. The two immortals then worked together to treat Yi Qing. Finally, after six hours, Yi Qing’s meridians were more or less restored to normal.
Lonemoon lifted the still unconscious Ge You, saying,
Let’s go back now. We’ll ask him how to wake Shen Ying up when he comes to.
Just as he was about to mount his sword, the message transmission talisman in his robes suddenly lit up. He fished it out and directed some immortal Qi to activate it. Immediately, his mind picked up the sound of Yu Hong’s voice. A look of bewilderment flashed across his face on hearing her message.



Did something happen in the sect?
asked a curious Xun Shu.

No.
There was a complicated look on Lonemoon’s face. Lowering his head to look at Ge You, he replied,
Yu Hong said… Shen Ying has awakened.

There was a whoosh and the next moment, Yi Qing had vanished from sight.
Xun Shu:
…

Lonemoon:
…


Shen Ying suddenly remembered that she was now a floaty who could not eat anything. So she abandoned the idea of having a barbecue.
Shen Ying then recalled that she had been out for quite some time, it was now time to return home for her meal. She was just about to head back home when the little girl who seemed to have sensed something, started to get flustered.

Divine Immortal, are you… leaving?
The little girl cried out in anguish and started running towards her. Along the way, she tripped over a twig and rolled down the hill until she reached the base of a tree. She sustained a long cut on her face but she seemed undisturbed by it. Looking straight at the trembling bird on her right, she asked,
Don’t you want to protect me anymore? I… I will be very obedient.


…
Shen Ying’s mouth twitched in dismay. Is this little rascal stalking me? What a bother! Maybe if I leave quietly, she won’t notice.


However, the little girl burst into tears.
Divine Immortal… Divine Immortal, don’t abandon me. Everyone… hates me. My parents are gone, I only… only have you now. Don’t… Don’t leave me!


…


Divine Immortal, Divine Immortal…
Not getting a response, the little girl became even more flustered. She looked everywhere but to no avail. Plucking up her courage, she climbed up the body of the bird whose flames had been long extinguished. She clambered around its body in her fruitless search, crying and whimpering,
Divine Immortal, Divine Immortal… Don’t leave… don’t leave me.

In view of the fact that she was under the protection of the Exalted Goddess, Wu Hong decided to stay calm and play dead. It was working fine until… she stepped on an unmentionable part of his anatomy.
Arh…!
Wu Hong leapt up immediately and threw the little girl off his body. Instantly he transformed back into human form. Crossing his legs, he clutched his injured body part in pain, curling his body up like a prawn.
He glared at the child in rage and roared,
You little rascal… You’re really …


She’s really what?
Shen Ying suddenly interrupted.
Her voice brought Wu Hong back to reality. His flushed face turned pale instantly and his mouth twitched involuntarily. Smiling stiffly, he said,
She’s really… kind, lovely and adorable.

┭┮_┭┮


This pain is killing me! What bad luck! If he had not damaged his immortal Qi, fallen down and broken his immortal bones, he would not be in such pain when that mortal hurt his sensitive area…
Ooh, ooh…. He had been defiled by that mortal. He felt that his whole demonic body was no longer chaste.

Divine Immortal…
The little girl happily stood up. Opening her arms, she started to running to a spot on her right, as if she wanted to hug someone.
I knew you would return…

Seeing that she was about to plunge into a pit, Shen Ying finally extended her hand to pull her back.
I’m here!
You’re headed in the wrong direction!

Divine Immortal?
The child halted in mid-step, then turned left.

This way!
Shen Ying steered the child towards her.
Little Shortie, do you really want to follow me?


Yes, yes, yes,
sniffed the little girl, nodding her head emphatically.

You won’t be able to return here once I take you with me, and life with me will be tough.


I’m not afraid!
She clenched her fist tightly, looking determined.

…
 Hai! What a bother!

Lowering her head, Shen Ying looked down at the little village hamlet. This led her to frown as she recalled the propensity of a certain someone to attract misfortune. She hoped Father Niu would not blow his top at her decision!

Yo, Bird!
Shen Ying turned to look at the man clad in green.

Bird here!
Wu Hong raised his hand weakly.

And that one still pretending to be dead…
She turned and looked down at the pit.
The huge beast at the bottom of the pitch-dark pit shuddered in fright. With tears in its eyes, it turned back into human form.
Exalted… Exalted… Exalted Immortal. What… What are your orders?


This child has a weak constitution, it’s not convenient for me to take her back with me to the immortal realm. The two of you will deliver this shortie safely to Qu Shuang City’s Invincible Sect.
She swept a look at the two beasts.
I want to see her there in three day’s time. Otherwise… heh, heh!

Although they could not see her, the two beasts shuddered involuntarily. They chorused in unison,
Understood, Exalted Goddess, no problem, Exalted Goddess!


Good.
Shen Ying closed her eyes and vanished.

Exalted Goddess… Exalted Goddess?
Wu Hong yelled a few times but received no response. When he realized that Shen Ying had left, his face immediately slumped in despair.
Exalted Goddess, you haven’t told us where in the world this Qu Shuang City is located?
