Five days later, Shen Ying had finished what the rainbow sisters had made for lunch and was sitting at the table having dessert. Although the food was not as good as Chef’s, it wasn’t bad. She was just thinking about whether she should ask them to make more food when a figure landed on the ground in front of her.

“Master!”

“Hey, Chef!” Shen Ying exclaimed. She pushed aside the dessert in front of her and acted like she had not eaten. “You’re back!”

“You’re… alright?” Yi Qing stared at the woman seated at the table, not daring to blink.

“Huh?” She paused. “What could ha-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Yi Qing ran toward her side in a flash. She clenched her fists and the next moment, she found herself in Yi Qing’s arms. Er… it’s a little stuffy.

She started to push him aside, but she heard soft sobbing by her ears. “You’re alright… that’s great… that’s great!”

“Er…?” What’s happening? “Chef, you… Hey, Chef! Chef?”

The man who had been holding her in a deadlock earlier suddenly slid down toward the ground before Shen Ying could question him.

“Hey, hey, hey. Are you alright?” She caught him just in time and found that he had passed out. Then, she noticed that his entire body was covered in blood and wounds. He looked absolutely miserable.

Shen Ying frowned. She had not seen Chef in some time – how did he become so pathetic?

“Yi Qing, you freaking flew too quickly…” Lonemoon and Xun Shu landed, panting. They looked around the yard and spotted Shen Ying. Lonemoon sighed in relief. “The scourge of the millennium indeed. You’re really awake.”

“Father Niu, what happened to Chef?” Shen Ying asked, still supporting the unconscious Chef.

“What could have happened?” Lonemoon glared at her, as if blaming her. He stepped forward hand helped to support Yi Qing up, replying as he did so, “He’s retarded. He thought you would not come to, so he ran up to the capital and picked a fight with eight other emperors!”

“Then…” Shen Ying tilted her head. “Did he win?”

“…” The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. Was that the point? At least act like a master. Wouldn’t your first reaction be to give him a lecture?

Xun Shu, who had been standing beside him, answered quickly, “He won!”

“Oh, that’s good!”

“Good your ass!” Can you be normal for once? Lonemoon controlled the urge to lash out at her and focused his attention on helping Yi Qing to his feet. “He’s seriously injured. I think he will be unconscious for some time. Let’s bring him into the house.”

As he finished speaking, Xun Shu came to his aid and together, they brought Yi Qing into the house. They inspected his injuries and finally relaxed.

“How is he?” Shen Ying asked.

“He’s alright. He flew for several days, so he’s drained of immortal Qi and extremely exhausted. He should be fine after a few days.”

“Oh.”

“Speaking of that…” He turned to glare at her once more and asked, “What happened to you these few days? You actually woke up on your own. That proves you weren’t even affected by that Soul Detachment Spell, right?”

“What spell?” What’s that?

“Weren’t you under a spell?”

“No!”

“Then why did your divine perception…”

“Oh, I’ve always had the habit of sleepwalking,” Shen Ying answered matter-of-factly. “But I am always too lazy to move. Just before I fell asleep, I was thinking about the customer you cheated back at the capital. I thought and thought, and then I became… a floaty.”

Customer? Shu Jiang!

“In other words… you weren’t affected at all by the Soul Detachment Spell?”

“That’s right!”

Lonemoon: “…”
