Chapter 264 : You Rock, Highgod! 14 (1/2)

Along the way, Dong Jing was still massacring people. By the time Shi Sheng finally learned where the exit of The Great Desert was from the bunch of ‘dumb beasts’, Dong Jing had killed nearly every single living thing in The Great Desert.

System had repeatedly warned her about this, but Shi Sheng had long turned a deaf ear to it. ‘If he wants to kill so badly, let him! It’s very immoral to get between someone and their goal, y’know?’

Hence, Shi Sheng chose to allow Dong Jing’s little killing spree in The Great Desert while she headed back to the Heavenly Realm.

But…

‘Why the hell are these dunces following me?!’

“Boss, wait for us! Ow ow ow!”

“Ah ah, don’t push! I’m not going to be able to catch up to her! Boss, wait for us!!!”

“Whoa whoa whoa, I’ve almost caught up! Boss look! I can fly!”

Shi Sheng silently increased her speed, shaking off the group of idiots.

……

The Heavenly Realm.

“Highgod Qing Guan.” Several minor immortals who caught sight of Shi Sheng immediately bowed in greeting. But their gazes were rather… odd.

Shi Sheng didn’t mind as she continued on her way. But this wasn’t a one-off thing; almost every immortal she came across had the same odd expression when they saw her.

Shi Sheng grew suspicious. ‘Just what happened while I was away? If it’s something to do with me…then it almost definitely has something to do with the leads.’

She reached out to grab a minor immortal who was coincidentally passing by. “What exactly happened while I was gone?”

His expression changed and he couldn’t help but start trembling. “H-High-Highgod… I-I-I…”

“If you can’t even speak a simple sentence, what use are you?” Shi Sheng pretended like she was going to strangle him.

“Ancient God Zi Huan has taken Yue Yao in as his disciple and she’s been promoted to Highlord… she’s also been reinstated as Moon Elder.” Faced with the threat of dying, the minor immortal could only blurt out everything he knew to save himself from this Highgod’s wrath.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘There’s no such thing as most melodramatic, only more melodramatic…

The life of an FL is simply full of pleasant surprises. Even reflecting at a cliff meant for criminals can get you the attention of an Ancient God and a promotion to Highlord!’

So, what happened basically went like this:

Yue Yao was punished to go to the Reflection Cliff. But while she was there, she met the Ancient God Zi Huan, who had been trapped there by someone.

This Ancient God was seriously powerful! Even more so than Shi Sheng and Cang Lan.

You’d know just from the title of “Ancient God.”

The full title was Ancient Highgod, which was clearly a step up from Highgod—the rank Shi Sheng and Cang Lan were at.

Just how incredible was he? Why, he was the one and only Ancient Highgod currently still alive.

He was from the same generation as Qing Guan’s parents. With the rest of the Ancient Highgods dead, how could he not be the most amazing?

He wasn’t involved much in the original plot, only showing up at the very end when Yue Yao’s true identity was being revealed.

‘So Plot-sama decided to give the FL a new cheat after I(bbb) broke her last one? Plot-sama, you’re going to be struck by lightning for being so wilful!’

“Then what’s with those stares you lot have been giving me?”

‘Even if the FL ended up getting off the hook scot-free, they don’t have to look at me with those weird gazes, do they?’

The minor immortal wanted to cry but had no tears. ‘There are so many people here, why grab me? Why am I so unlucky?’

“Highgod, er, you should…take a look at the Stone of Three Lifetimes for yourself.”

‘Stone of Three Lifetimes? What’s this have to do with that stone?’

But she soon understood why everyone cast such odd glances at her. Shi Sheng had forgotten to retrieve her red string before leaving, so it was still with Yue Yao. The Stone of Three Lifetimes allowed others to see who your red string was tied to.

‘So… Yue Yao abused her authority to tie me to someone?!’

Shi Sheng stormed over to the Stone of Three Lifetimes. The immortal child standing guard over the stone was scared into kneeling and trembled fearfully in front of Shi Sheng’s murderous expression.

Shi Sheng placed her hand on the Stone of Three Lifetimes. It flickered several times before a name appeared on it.

Dong Jing.

Shi Sheng stared at that name for ten whole seconds, her expression unreadable. Her eyes were as calm as eternally still water with nary a single ripple.

‘Very good, FL-sama. You dared to matchmake me(bbb) with that imbecile who only knows how to kill people, Dong Jing!’
