Chapter 297 - Taking Over the Plane (2/2)
Kaitian: “…” Alright, just stab me with a knife.
“He can.” Shen Jing pointed at the man who had taken over their home’s kitchen. Then, she glanced at Lonemoon. “But he… he’s from this world. If he goes over there….” It could affect the plane.
“What if he becomes the manager’s assistant?” Shen Ying asked.
“Assistant?” Shen Jing frowned and turned to study the betrayer, Kaitian. Becoming a manager’s assistant would indeed change the dynamics of the plane. “You’ve thought about it. You can only have two assistants and you can never change them.” This was the only reason she was still letting Kaitian live!
“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded. “Father Niu is enough.” She could already smell the lifelong holiday she was about to get.
Lonemoon, who was suddenly being recognised: “…”
Shen Ying was only saying this so that the three of them could return to that world, right? That must be the case. Why was he feeling so uneasy then?
“Forget it, you already have a super-existence greater than this plane’s. I can no longer control you. Make your own decisions. But before that…”
She turned around and glared at Kaitian once again. Kicking him, she said, “Since Little Ying has already decided to take over that plane, I will not pursue your little actions. But make sure that you solve the mess that you’ve left behind there, otherwise…”
“Yes, Boss! No problem, Boss!” Kaitian hurt everywhere as he straightened his back. That’s great, his plane finally had a manager. His efforts all these years had not gone to waste.
He was elated, happy to the point of tears…

——————
Lonemoon did not dare imagine that he would be able to return to the immortal cultivator realm so soon. Shen Ying was now even the manager of that world. In other words, they could go anywhere they wanted in the Three Realms. Technically, they could already do that before. But now that they were returning to a familiar place, he felt especially emotional.
Shen Ying scratched the air lightly and a white passage opened up. A familiar gust of immortal Qi charged toward them. They could also faintly see the familiar horizon through the passage. Shen Ying was a manager after all – the passage that she opened was a notch better than the one the Godfiend opened for them.
Within seconds, they found themselves back in the Divine Territory of the Godfiend. Kaitian’s real name was Kai Tian [1. Sky Opener]. Indeed, he was the last of the three ancient gods. Perhaps because he had tolerated enough under Shen Jing, the moment he arrived back in the Divine Territory, he dragged the Godfiend and Meng Po out for a three-hour long lashing. The two of them stood in front of him quietly like a badly behaved grandchildren.
Actually, all of these only happened because the two of them did not recognise Shen Ying as the person whom Kai Tian had sent over to be their manager. Kai Tian travelled to many planes in search of a manager until he arrived at Shen Jing’s. When he met Shen Ying, he purposely hid the plane that he was from so as to create the impression that he could not be sent back. This was why Shen Jing agreed to keep him as her assistant.
Behind her back, he tried to connect his world with Shen Jing’s so that he could send Shen Ying over. Yet, Shen Jing was a control-freak with regards to her sister. She always kept a close watch on her, so he never had the chance. That was until Shen Ying went on a holiday. During that period, however, the Godfiend who had been waiting for a long time in his own world, predicted that Lonemoon could help their plane solve the problem. He found the connection with Lonemoon’s world that Kai Tian had earlier created and mistook Lonemoon as the one whom Kai Tian had found to fix their world’s problem. So the Godfiend took matters into his own hands and pulled Lonemoon over himself.
Lonemoon trained for several hundred years but never showed any potential of managing the plane. Moreover, Kai Tian never responded to the Godfiend. The Godfiend was beginning to give up hope of ever finding a manager for their world.
What’s more, ever since Shen Ying transmigrated over, she had practically been on a long-term holiday. She did not demonstrate her power to manage the plane at all. Instead, her powers became mutated after the transmigration so that even the Godfiend could not sense her limits. This threatened the Godfiend, causing him to treat her as an invader.
Once he found the chance, and after he got the demonic realm out of trouble, he sent Lonemoon and the invader Shen Ying back where they belonged.
Initially, Lonemoon really wanted to beat the Godfiend up. But since Kai Tian had already given him a good lashing, Lonemoon resisted the urge to do so. Kai Tian briefed them on what they had to do and was now heading back to Shen Jing’s plane. Afterall, he was already sealed as Shen Jing’s assistant. Even though he was one of the gods of creation of this plane, he no longer belonged here. He had no choice but to return to continue working his job.
Mm, he probably would also have to do what used to be Shen Ying’s job.
