The sky seemed to have darkened. They were in a valley already. The dark clouds and the huge winds made everything around them seem pitch black as the air thickened.

They did not have time to react when they saw a purple flash of lightning strike the center of Blackie’s forehead. The next moment, a red graphic appeared in between his eyebrow. It looked just like the image carved onto the jade token.

“It really is the seal of the Godfiend!” Lonemoon exclaimed. He had never thought that such a lame chant would be able to activate the seal of the Godfiend. Was it true then that as long as one was at least a Celestial Emperor, they would be able to obtain the seal?

Blackie subconsciously touched his forehead and surveyed the rest of his body. Fortunately, he was not missing any limbs or meridians. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Shen Ying saying, “Exalted Goddess, I didn’t-”

“Master, your dumplings are done.” Yi Qing interrupted, presenting a bundle of dumplings to Shen Ying.

Did he have to be so quick? He was doing this on purpose – he must have been!

O(≧口≦)O

“Exalted Goddess, you’ve just eaten pastries. You’ll bloat if you eat this now. Do you want to have it later?” He asked with a serious expression.

“Master, I’ve prepared your spirit tea.” Yi Qing served it.

“…”

“Exalted Goddess, pastries and dumplings are so dry. They’re going to dehydrate you if you have them together,” Blackie tried again.

“Master, I’ve cut some fruits.” Yi Qing served fruits.

“…”

“Exalted Goddess, look at the dumplings. They’re wrapped so well. They definitely need to be cooked for awhile longer – why don’t you have something sweet first?”

“Water Negation Deviant Fire Art. Master, it’s done.” Yi Qing handed the dumplings over.

“…”

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Flips table! Was he not going to allow Blackie to become a demon!

Yi Qing: Nobody can doubt my professionalism!

“Exalted Goddess!” Blackie squatted on the floor and began to wail as loudly as thunder , “Betraying the Godfiend is a very serious matter and the consequences will be dire. Why don’t you reconsider-”

Burp¬

Shen Ying, who had just finished the dumpling, asked, “What are you saying?”

Little Black: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Crash!

The black clouds that had dissipated gathered once again, blacker than before. A white string of light appeared in the sky and there was a faint red lightning flashing intermittently. All around them, the wind became stronger, running through the entire demon city so that even the grounds began to shake. The others were fine, but Blackie and Zhan Ting seemed to sense something. They fell to their knees.

Suddenly, something bright red flashed past them. The sky seemed to break apart and a blinding red flash of lightning struck down toward where Blackie was kneeling.

“The divine punishment!” Blackie became instantly pale. The suppression coming from the red light caused him to be unable to even lift up his head. Even the demonic spirit within him was stirring. His heart seemed to stop. All he did was go back on the contract – the divine punishment was way too severe for such a matter! He watched as the divine lightning headed toward him. Instinctively, he turned to Shen Ying and cried, “Exalted Goddess, I-”

“Move!” Before he could finish, he felt something tighten on his shoulder. Shen Ying reached out and carried him out of reach of the lightning bolt.

Immediately, there was a huge crash. The red deviant lightning exploded on Shen Ying. Blackie’s ten plus arrays all fell apart and the ground lit up in the same bright red of the lightning bolt. Shen Ying stood amid the red light, looking up at the dark sky.

“Master!” Yi Qing stepped forward, anxious. Seeing that she was unhurt, he sighed in relief. “That divine lightning-”

“Move!” Shen Ying shouted, cutting him off. Nobody had time to react. They looked up and saw two more bolts of deviant lightning overhead. It was travelling at the speed of light toward the entire group.

“Holy shit!” Lonemoon jumped. The lightning seemed to be coming from nowhere. Nobody could do anything about it. What was going on? Was the Godfiend blind? It was Blackie who should be punished – why was it attacking them?

“Chef…” Shen Ying was just about to pull him aside when she sensed something. She retracted her hand.
