Chapter 401 - Waking the Manager. (2/2)

Yi Qing nodded. “Hmm.”

“Let’s begin!”

Only then did the two start conjuring seals together. They sensed for the assistant seal within their bodies, and in the next moment, an enormous power immediately filled their whole bodies. Lonemoon breathed in deeply and carefully directed that special power and sent it towards the person in front of him.

He had a vague feeling that something was drawn out of his body and was going to enter Shen Ying’s body. Yet suddenly, a stinging pain was felt in his Divine Perception. That power couldn’t get through at all. Instead, it directly rebounded back at him.

Lonemoon felt a blow in his heart and tasted blood in his mouth. He subconsciously looked at the person beside him, yet found that his complexion was even paler than himself. It seemed that Shen Jing was right. It couldn’t be returned indeed. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t. The assistant power bounced back, but the immortal qi in his body started draining very rapidly, which rushed wildly in Shen Ying’s direction.

What was going on?

“Chef, stop it, quickly!” Lonemoon reminded him, but it was already too late. The immortal qi in his body drained even faster, and in but a short while, he felt an emptiness in his Dantian and a blackness in front of his eyes. He fainted directly.

“Niu…” Yi Qing was anxious, yet in the next instant, he himself fell down with a blackness in front of him.

Both of them sank into darkness.

In the instant that they closed their eyes, they seemed to see something…

——————

They didn’t know how much time had passed before they woke again. But when they did, they sensed vaguely that something was so bright that it was difficult for them to open their eyes. Lonemoon subconsciously moved to cover his eyes, yet realized that he couldn’t move at all. And a sharp pain went through his body. He opened his eyes directly, but a strong light went straight towards him, making him almost dizzy.

“You’re awake?” An extremely cold but somewhat familiar voice was head. After that was several clanging sounds which seemed to be some clicking machines.

Lonemoon looked up, and only then saw the vague reflection not far in front of him. The figure was not tall, and it looked like someone young, sitting cross-legged on an armchair, staring coldly in their direction. He closed his eyes briefly to suppress that sense of dizziness which went over him. Only then did he see that face. Despite the coldness, it was pretty familiar. It seemed a few inches smaller than in his impression.

This was Shen… Jing?!

Before he could react, Chef beside already burst out in excitement. “Master! You’re awake! That’s so great!”

What? This is Shen Ying?

Chef subconsciously tried to move over, yet once his body moved, a wave of pain went over both their bodies. There was also a vague burning scent. Lonemoon was stunned. He looked down.

Holy shit! Who tied both of them up? And they were tied together and hung upside down!

The person on the chair frowned, looking at the two even more coldly. “Who are you? Where is this? What purpose do you have?” As her voice fell, immediately, four or five balls shining with red lights appeared out of thin air all around them. Pitch back gun points on the balls pointed towards the two.

That voice was cold as ice…

“Speak!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon, “…”

Huh?

What was happening?
