Chapter 229 - The Godfiend’s Divine Abode (2/2)
Huh?
The next moment, the red light burst forth and covered the entire courtyard and the lightning bolts struck the ground, one after another, bringing with them a suppression that seemed great enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
What was strange was…
“Eh? I’m fine!” Blackie patted his body and realised that there was not a single scratch on him. He hurriedly tested out his demonic Qi. His cultivation, spirit and even meridians were perfectly unharmed. How could this be? This was obviously the lightning of divine punishment, that was supposed to be even scarier than the lightning tribulation. Yet, he came out of it unscathed. “Exalted Goddess, what exactly… Eh! Exalted Goddess? Where’s the Exalted Goddess?”
He looked around him and found that Shen Ying was nowhere to be seen.
“What’s the matter?”
“Not just her!” Zhan Ting said. “Even the other two immortal cultivators are missing.”
“…” What’s going on?

They were on the surface of a water body that did not seem to end. Everything was calm on the water surface. It was acting like a mirror for the sky, reflecting every single white cloud and the blue of the sky. A man in black robes was standing between the heaven and the sky. He had long hair that reached the ground, and he had a stern stance. He did not look as powerful as the highest-level cultivators in the demonic or immortal realms. Instead, he looked quite average. At best, he was gentlemanly. On his average looking face, his red eyes were what caught their attention. He was grinning. Beneath his feet, there were red lotus flowers that made it look just like he was standing on fire. He was very normal, yet he gave them the impression that he was extremely demonic.
“You wanted to see me?” He suddenly asked. His voice sounded ethereal, echoing throughout the entire place. “Shen Ying.”
“Mm,” Shen Ying nodded. She did not even look flustered even though she had just been dragged to an entirely new realm. “Godfiend?”
The man did not seem to notice that she was especially calm. He nodded curtly. Then, smiling somewhat kindly, he said, “Yes, I am the Godfiend.”
“Where are Chef and Father Niu?” She searched around her.
The Godfiend glanced at her, then raised his hand toward her. Suddenly, the water began to stir. An image appeared just beneath the surface. There were two huge lotus flowers. Lonemoon and Yi Qing were lying in one lotus flower each, looking like they were in a deep sleep.
“This is my divine abode. The bodies of the three realms are not able to withstand the divine suppression they experience here, that’s why they’re in a deep sleep,” he explained. He faced her. “Except for you.”
“Oh.” Shen Ying scanned the two bodies in the lotus flowers. She sat down on the water surface, crossing her legs and eating her fruit. “I have a few questions to ask you..”
“What do you want to know/?”
“Were you the one who gave Hui Ling that jade ornament?”
“Yes!”
“Was it your idea to merge the immortal and demonic realms?”
“Yes!”
“Were you the one who prepared that book that Father Niu had?”
“…. That’s right.”
“You were the one who transmigrated us to this world.”
“… Yes, basically.”
“Then I have one last question for you.”
“Go ahead.”
“Is it illegal for me to beat you up now?”
“…”
“I want to beat you until you’re not even able to take care of yourself.”
“…”
The Godfiend smiled faintly at her, then sighed. “Shen Ying, I know that your situation is special, but this is my divine abode. I am the god that created the three realms. You cannot hurt me.”
“Really?” Shen Ying tilted her head. She drew a fruit knife from out of nowhere and waved it at the water body. There was a whipping sound and a white scratch appeared on the surface. It looked like a crack on a mirror. “Do you want to try me?”
The Godfiend: “…”
