Chapter 420: Calm Down, Master

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

Father Niu left with Little Shortie to fix the River of Forgetfulness at mushroom world. They were away for days, and Shen Ying and Yi Qing were super free. However, Shen Ying felt clearly that Chef was avoiding her.

Though on the outside, it was the same as usual. None of the five meals per day were amiss. Yet Shen Ying just couldn't see him. Everyday when she woke up, breakfast was already on the table. When she left to water the plants, lunch would be ready. It was the same for dinner, night snacks and afternoon tea. All of them appeared on time, but she just didn't see Chef appear before him. Everyday, he was either hiding in the kitchen, or on the way to the kitchen.

Shen Ying seriously reflected on her own words and actions and became even more sure that Big Sister did something unspeakable to him. Or he wouldn't be so abnormal. She must have accidentally touched his emotional wounds that day. Though she was already very euphemistic. But with the sorcery of this world, he was supposed to have fixed it. Could there be some special condition? She heard that men who suffered this kind of injury are usually left with some trauma. Suddenly getting pointed out, it was normal that he couldn't accept it for a while, that was why he kept avoiding her.

She turned and looked at a certain figure who had been busy in the kitchen for days. She took up the last piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, before getting up and walking towards the kitchen. Whether as Master, Girlfriend, or Manager, she felt that she should take a look at it, and ascertain the truth.

"Chef!" She stopped right at the kitchen door and called out.

The busying figure stiffened, and his hand trembled, almost throwing away the spatula. After a long while his head turned back awkwardly. "Ma- Master. Is it that you finished the pastries?"

"Yeah..." And no.

Shen Ying's eyes fixed on the pastries on the kitchen table. This one looked very tasty as well...

( ̄『̄)

"I'll send it right over." With that said, as though hiding something, he hurried to take those long-prepared pastries, and walked out rapidly like escaping. A wave of redness rose on his face uncontrollably.

He put down the pastries right on the table in the yard and taking the empty dish on there at the same time.

Shen Ying followed him over. Seeing the delicacies on the table, and seeing that a certain person was about to retreat back into the kitchen, she finally remembered something, and grabbed him. "Wait a moment, don't go."

Chef stopped, and his whole body stiffened even more. He looked down at his hand which was grabbed subconsciously. His heartbeat was like drum beats. "Ma-Master?"

Shen Ying actually turned her head and pulled, pressing him down at the chair at the side. Her two hands holding the arms of the chair, she pressed him down on the chair abruptly, and said in all seriousness, "As a professional Manager, I feel that I should have a proper chat with you."

Yi Qing looked at the person who suddenly came close and heard a bang in his head. His whole body felt like a boiled shrimp. His eyes opened wide, and even his speaking voice trembled. "Wh- What?"

"Don't be afraid. I'm different from my big sister. I'm very gentle." Shen Ying said in the mildest tone she could manage. "I have to know that such things are nothing so long as you are mentally prepared. But you've got to face it properly. It's no good to avoid treatment. Maybe you still take off your pants and let me take a look? I will be soft?" In any case, she learned treatment theories for a period of time. As she said, she directly started pulling at his belt. "Just one look."

"Master!" Only then did Yi Qing return to himself, and he stopped her hands right away. "Don't!" This was still daytime.

"Oh?" Shen Ying was stunned. Looking at his severely blushing complexion, she suddenly got something. "Is it that I can't look?"

"No, Master, I..." What to do if Master kept wanting to take off my pants?

"I get it." She nodded, and finally drew back her hands. Yi Qing felt an emptiness in his heart for no reason at all. Yet in the next instant he heard her say, "Then I'll get Father Niu here to see, okay? You'd be willing for him to see."

"Huh?" Wait, what's this got to do with Father Niu?

Can't Master think that he and Father Niu...

Σ(°△°|||)

"Hmm, I don't remember the things from before, but you and him seem quite close... closer than with me. If you're only willing for him to see, I have nothing against it. Rest assured, I will get him here right away.

Yi Qing's face turned green instantly. He stood up directly from the chair and said resolutely and decisively, "Him and I are not that are not in that kind of relationship!"

Huh?

"What relationship?"

"Anyway, in my heart there is only Master. Though it is not time yet.." He grabbed Shen Ying's hand, and as if he was cornered, he said loudly, "I will never anyone else besides you take off my pants, including Father Niu!"

Shen Ying, "..."

Lonemoon, who just entered: "..."

Did he come into the wrong place?

( ̄△̄;)

***

"What are you doing?" Lonemoon couldn't help but ask, as he looked at the two in front of him speechlessly.

The two were stunned, and only then turned back. Shen Ying hurried to change from the understanding older sister mode back to that cold look, though in the eyes of others there wasn't any difference at all.

"You're back?" She looked down at the timing on her wristband. So fast. "128 hours 45 minutes 6 seconds. Such efficiency is barely passable for an assistant."

Lonemoon walked right over, sat down at the side, before continuing, "We only ran over that small world and re-arranged the River of Forgetfulness. Of course it was fast."

"Where's Little Shortie?" Yi Qing looked towards the door, not seeing Meng Po back with him.

"Oh, she's back to the Underworld." Lonemoon answered casually. "It's reconnecting a world, after all. There are some follow-ups for her to deal with."

Yi Qing nodded not asking any further.

"I'm here to tell you to be assured, that the matter over there has been resolved. In case you two trouble yourselves unnecessarily." Lonemoon gave the two a look and said, "These days, matters of the sect have been piling up, you two'd better not make trouble for me. I'll go to work for now." With that said, he didn't stay any more, but got up and went right out.

Shen Ying looked at the pastries on the table which were not touched at all, and suddenly said, "Father Niu..."

"What?" Lonemoon's feet paused, and he turned back.

Shen Ying took up a pastry, held it between her fingers, and turned towards Yi Qing beside her. "It seems that the end of the month is coming."

Yi Qing was stunned. After a long while, something went across his eyes. His eyes widened, and he turned to Lonemoon at the door and said cooperatively, "Master is right, Father Niu, the living allowance for next month should be paid."

The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched, and then he took out a bag of spirit stones from the storage bag beside his body. "Alright. When have I missed giving it to you?" With that said, he waved and threw the bag out.

Seeing that the bag flew across the air in a curve, Shen Ying's face actually fell, and as though she had ascertained something, she called out loudly, "Chef!"

In the next instant, Yi Qing beside her had already rushed out with his sword. The sharp edge of the sword went straight towards Lonemoon in front of him, and a trapping array lit up at the same time. Sword Qi filled the whole back palace instantly.

Lonemoon was taken aback, and when he moved to retreat, it was already too late. The sword in Yi Qing's hand hit right at him. He hurried to dodge, but still didn't manage to. His whole chest was opened up by one movement of Yi Qing's sword. Immediately, blood flowed out like a river. Should he not be an immortal to begin with, he'd be killed by now.

Lonemoon's face was full of disbelief, as he turned to look at the person who made the attack. "Holy shit! Yi Qing what are you..."

Before he could finish, about a dozen swords made from God Power fell from the sky, each went right at his bones, nailing him down on the ground, making him unable to move in the array.

"You've called wrongly!" Yi Qing replied word by word, "Father Niu never called my Dao name except when necessary."

His pretense was good indeed, but while Father Niu never forgot to give them living allowances, he never gave it so readily. Was there even one time when he didn't nag for a whole hour?

"Who are you?" Shen Ying also walked over and looked at the person on the ground up and down. "Or rather... what are you?"

"..."
