Chapter 702: Going Home Together
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
At last, Lonemoon did not accept Shen Jing's plane. After all, Shen Jing still had a plane assistant. Although she looked down on Kaitian, he did work under her for all those years. Apart from Shen Ying, he was the most familiar with that plane. Before the new manager appeared, all he had to do was look after the plane. That was within his means. At most, his workload would increase by... just three times!
Shen Jing accepted her job as the judge pretty quickly and without much conflict. Lonemoon thought that this had to do with Shen Ying on the one hand, and the amount of experience she had on the other.
Shen Ying once mentioned in passing that when she was younger, she would often be attacked by invaders. They had all experienced Shen Jing's prowess. Those invaders could not beat Shen Jing - they had no choice but to go after Shen Ying. Invaders like that were at the very most just managers. At the time, in order to protect Shen Ying and protect the plane, the pain that Shen Jing had to go through was unimaginable. That was why she had such a strong urge to destroy all the other planes before - it was all because of her painful past.
Shen Jing was very different from the judge before. In the past, even monitors did not know that the judge existed. All he did was do some work from the background. Shen Jing, on the other hand, got in touch with the monitors immediately to announce her presence.
The message was clear: Do not cause trouble or I will cause trouble for you!
Although this was a little dangerous - there would always be blind people who think that they are unbeatable and who would want to come and challenge Shen Jing - nobody would really be Shen Jing's match given that she's so powerful. What's more, her only weak point, Shen Ying, was now much more powerful than she was.
Thus, there was no need for her to remain in hiding.
As for the parenting system, its name had been changed to the Chaos Void Monitoring System. Its main job was to assist Shen Jing in crossing the various planes and collecting information. This allowed Shen Jing to solve problems more quickly.
It had the same job of entering various planes. While it did so illegally before, it was now doing so proudly. With the judge's assurance, so many planes issued permit passes to the system that it collected an entire stack of it. The best thing was the system no longer needed to possess anyone's body in order to get its work done.
Of course, Cheff's and Lonemoon's planes were the first to issue the permits to the system. The parenting system carefully crafted a supplementary system for Feng Ying to take back with him. After all, he has been the system's living place for so many years. It was its duty to come up with a replacement now that they were going to part ways for good.
Shen Ying and her two other companions did not remain long in the plane. After looking around at the place and watching Kaitian get busier, they took the chance while Shen Jing was editing the system's data to go back to their plane's Divine Realm. If they did not leave then, they guessed that they would not have gotten another chance.
As to the master and disciple's reaction to sell their father out earlier, Lonemoon expressed great annoyance. He deducted three months' allowance and told them to reflect on their own behaviour.
"I'm so hungry!" Shen Ying rubbed her ear, which Father Niu had pulled on earlier. Then, she patted her stomach. "Why don't we eat before reflecting?"
"Alright, Mas-"
"Dream on!" Before Chef could finish speaking, Lonemoon roared at him. He was so close to exploding that he immediately turned down Shen Ying's ridiculous request. Do you think you freaking would reflect? He turned to glare at the two of them, saying, "Eat, eat, eat... Eat until you're dead! Let's get back to Invincible Sect before talking." She just had three bags of potato chips and six fruits - was she really a bottomless pit?
"But..."
"No buts!" Lonemoon opened a realm gate.
He was just about to step in when Chef reached out to stop him. "Father Niu."
"What's the matter?" Lonemoon turned and scanned him from head to toe. He was still mad. Are you trying to cheat me again?
Chef retrieved a fruit for Shen Ying and said, "The assistant's seal!"
Lonemoon stared blankly at him for several seconds before he finally understood what Yi Qing was saying. He turned back around to look at the two plane trees For some reason, he felt like the purple tree was lacking in nutrition. It looked slightly... limp.
"The plane tree is not going to hang on for very long," Chef reminded him.
"Shit!" It was then that he recalled something and said, "I know." He turned to glare at Shen Ying. "You caused this?"
Shen Ying was speechless. Meow meow meow?
(⊙o⊙?)
But Lonemoon kept walking toward her. He reached out and grabbed Chef's collar, giving him a hard tug. There was a loud rip as Chef's shirt tore where Lonemoon was pulling on it. His strong chest was exposed.
Huh?
Chef was unprepared. His body swayed from the impact.
"What are you causing all of this trouble for!" Lonemoon shouted at them. Chef immediately stood where he was, not daring to speak. Instead, he stepped forward again.
Shen Ying: "..."
What the hell is going on? Was he going to violate her right there and then?
(⊙_⊙)
Was she not going to stop him, or should she not stop him, or was she not going to stop him?
Lonemoon reached out to touch Chef's chest. He pressed down where his hand was, and then quickly retracted his hand. There was a white glow, and a black seal that floated out of Chef's chest. It gathered in Lonemoon's palm, forming half a circle. It looked especially familiar and had a familiar aura about it as well. The seal stayed on Lonemoon's plm for a second before it entered his body.
Chef looked like he just felt some kind of attack. His expression looked funny and his body began to sway. He stepped back a couple of steps.
Shen Ying frowned and held on to him. "What is that?"
"What else? It's the assistant's seal you gave us in the beginning!" Lonemoon set up a recovery array next to Chef as he replied Shen Ying.
"An assistant's seal?" Shen Ying hesitated. "Yours?" Why was Lonemoon's seal in Chef's body?
"This is all because you cheated your father!" Lonemoon rolled his eyes as he activated the array. "You did not say anything before pushing both Chef and I back here before. Then, you locked the plane. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I had no choice but to put both halves of the seal in one person's body. That would make it easier to help you!" Who knew that she would return the moment they finished transferring the seal. Cheats would be cheats.
"Oh." So they were not doing anything funny when she got back - they were just transferring the seal.
"We are managers. Our powers are connected." Lonemoon pointed to the plane tree beside him that seemed to be perking up already. "Managers' powers cannot be transferred for too long or it would affect the plane." That was why he accepted his half of the seal back.
He turned to glance at Chef, and realised that he was already recovering. It was then that Lonemoon retracted the array around him. He turned around and opened another passage. "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's go back!"
Shen Ying's expression fell. Was she really not allowed to eat?
Chef kept digging in his storage back as he whispered, "Master, I took a lot of ingredients from Elder Shen's refrigerator. I can get to cooking once we get back."
Shen Ying's eyes brightened. She patted Yi Qing hard on the shoulder and said, "Good chef!"
The two of them finally entered the passage.
Lonemoon turned to glance at the master and disciple. He wanted to say something, but then decided against it. Forget it! If what he said was effective, he would no longer be a father. Sigh, he was getting used to it by now!
Ever since he met Shen Ying, his proper business ways had turned into openings for Shen Ying to keep cheating him. But what was more important was that he was still her father!
With a daughter like that, what more could he do? He had lost all hope!
But Shen Jing was a judge now. At least there would no longer be anymore blind monitors and managers who would invade their planes. In the future, they would finally be able to enjoy days of peace. What's more, with an "accident" like Shen Ying, they had nothing to fear anyway!
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since the three of them returned to Invincible Sect. At first, they thought that dealing with invaders would not take them too long. Who knew that so many things would have happened since then. Now that they had entered the Chaos Void, time seemed to be working differently too. They had no idea how long had passed in the plane. The good thing was that everything was over now - it was finally time to return!
Tian Yi must have arrived at Invincible Sect by now. Invincible Sect's medicinal business can reap in more profits again. Lonemoon's mind turned to wonder whether Zuo Shuming - that silly man - had ascended to immortality yet.
Mm, he seemed to be forgetting something. Forget it! It probably wasn't important anyway.
The unimportant Little Biao: "..."
Didn't they say they would return with my scale?
