“Do you think we should go or not?” Lonemoon frowned. He answered too quickly earlier – now he was troubled.

Xuan Tong was now in the Divine Underworld and they did not know exactly how she is. Although the Godfiend said she was not in any real danger now, it did not mean she would never be. What’s more, she was only a Stygian Immortal and yet she was surrounded by divine beings. It would be a joke to think she would be safe there, especially given her unlucky character…

She was a disciple of his sect after all. All things considered, it would be hard for him to turn a blind eye.

But if all three of them go to the Divine Underworld, whether they would find Meng Po aside, they might not even be able to make it out alive. Given the immortal realm’s current situation, it looked like everything was fine. But Lonemoon knew it was only because Shen Ying was holding things together. The moment she left for the divine world, the immortal and demonic realms would commence battle. The first place that would come under attack would then be their Invincible Heavenly Palace.

“Although the ten Skyfiends have not fully recovered from that time that you defeated them, the Celestial Emperors would be very different. Even if the ten of them combine forces, the demonic realm would stand an equal chance against them. With Blackie in the picture…” They were not being biased, but the skills of the immortal realm were really subpar. “What’s more, the demonic realm has Zhan Ting.”

Emperor Zhao Hua was still around, but she would not be of much help. If it really came down to it, they were not even sure if the demons would let her off.

“What do you guys think? What should we do now?”

“Huh?” Shen Ying stuttered. She was chewing on food as she turned to look at Lonemoon. “What did you say?”

Lonemoon felt something in his mind snap. “All you can care about is food!” Could she not see that he was extremely anxious? Furious, he turned to glare at the man who was walking toward the kitchen. “And you! Stop frying food! You’ve cooked about twenty dishes now!”

“Father Niu…” Shen Ying said as a strand of vegetables hung out the side of her mouth. “We have to eat our fill so that we’ll be strong enough to discuss these things. Chef, cook some tomato fried omelettes!”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

“That’s enough from the both of you!” It was taking all Lonemoon’s willpower to keep from slamming the table. “Could you two spare a thought for Shortie?” After all, they’ve interacted for a couple of years. They practically watched her grow up!

“We’re worried!” Shen Ying nodded. “That’s why I’m asking Chef to cook more dishes for us to eat on the road.” What if there’s nothing to eat there?

“You’re… really planning to go to the Divine Underworld?” And you’re planning to leave immediately?

“What else?”

“But if we go, the sect and the two realms-”

“Father Niu!” Shen Ying suddenly interrupted him. She lowered her voice and said, “Why did you leave the Blackheaven Sect?”

Lonemoon paused. He stared blankly at her. Why? Because the Blackheaven Sect was planning to make Shen Ying and Yi Qing their scapegoats. The sect leaders who were supposed to protect those in the sect were so willing to give up the lives of those under their care at such a critical time. That was why he grew cold toward Blackheaven Sect. Then… he joined Shen Ying!

“Now we’re acting the same way as them.” Shen Ying pondered for a moment and continued, “Shortie is a disciple of our sect.”

Lonemoon stiffened. The knot that had formed in his heart finally undid itself. That’s right! Why was he still hesitating? That was one of the Invincible Sect’s disciples that they were talking about – how could he allow others to bully her! As for whether they can return, with the cheat around, he had absolutely nothing to fear! The worst case scenario would be that they grab a certain demon and make him swear.

“I understand now!” Lonemoon smiled. He felt his entire body relax. Everything suddenly became clear. Out of instinct, he turned to glare at Shen Ying. “And… get your filthy hands off my shoulder!”

Damn it, she even took the chance to wipe her hands on his shoulder. What did she take him for – a cloth?! Don’t think I didn’t see that!

“Do you believe that I would chop them off?”

Shen Ying immediately retracted her hands and turned to face her bowl once again. They were having prawns tonight! Ah, too bad she did not prepare some paper towels. Now that her hands were so oily, she was having difficulty grabbing the other food.
