“Forget it,” Qi Chengyu said as she stepped forward. “To live or to die is up to fate. Feng Ying, you don’t have to-”
“No way!” Feng Ying sounded even more anxious. He ascended to immortality just to save her. How could he give up at this point in time? “Brother Lonemoon, do you know any way to get into the Heavens beyond Heaven? I will pay any price.” He had been cultivating for several years yet it was only recently that he met a woman he fancied!
Lonemoon sighed, “Tower Master Ying, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that we haven’t been in the upper world for very long and we’ve never been to the Heavens beyond Heaven. We don’t know anyone who have as well, so...”
“I know,” Shen Ying suddenly spoke up.
Everyone paused for a few seconds before they turned to face her. Each one of them looked shocked.
Especially Feng Ying, who had been terribly unwilling to show gratitude to Shen Ying earlier. Now, he rushed to kneel down in front of her. “Shen Ying, I know you are a good person. I’m begging you to save Little Yu. I’ll do anything you want me to. I would even give my life.”
“Er...” It’s not that she did not want to save her. She subconsciously shuffled away from Feng Ying. “It’s not that I don’t want to save her...” This man was so quick to make such elaborate gestures all the time. Did the parenting system teach him this?
Feng Ying thought Shen Ying was unwilling to help him. Suddenly, he began to panic. He thought for awhile, then tried his luck. “Grandma?”
Qi Chengyu: “...”
The crowd: “...”
Shen Ying: “...” Son of a b*tch!
“Heh... Tower Master Ying, please don’t be anxious!” Lonemoon looked absolutely helpless. He helped Feng Ying to his feet and glanced at Shen Ying. He asked, “Since when did you know anyone who have been to the Heavens beyond Heaven?”
“When I was sleep-walking,” Shen Ying answered. “Didn’t I tell you this before? The two little animals who wanted to kidnap the shortie were from the Heavens beyond Heaven. They were the ones who helped to bring her here.”
“Little animals... The immortals you met were demon immortals?” Lonemoon paused. He had thought she meant spirit beasts, but she actually meant demon immortals. And they were from the Heavens beyond Heaven at that. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Where are they now?”
“I don’t know.” That’s why she did not answer the baby immediately.
Lonemoon rolled his eyes. She’s absolutely unreliable! He began to think how exactly they could get into contact with the demon immortals.
Yu Hong, who had been standing by the side the entire time, suddenly spoke up, “Sect Master, are you referring to... two males, by any chance? One in a green robe and another in a black robe?”
“That’s right!” How did you know that?
“Yu Hong, have you seen them?” Lonemoon asked eagerly.
“I... have.” Yu Hong’s expression was getting a little strange. “They’re the ones who have been waiting at the bottom of this mountain to see Sect Master.”
“...”
“They’ve been standing there for half a month.”
“...”
——————
Almost as soon as the entrance to the mountain opened, the two figures flew toward the rear hall. In a flash, two strange figures appeared in front of everybody. Like Yu Hong described, one was in green and another in black.
“Greetings, Immortal...” Out of habit, Lonemoon began to greet the two immortals, but he was thrown backward by the gust of immortal Qi surrounding the two figures, which they had not suppressed in time. Lonemoon’s eyes widened. Holy shit! What the heck is that frighteningly intense immortal Qi? Exactly what cultivation level are these demon immortals at?
“Yi Qing?” He subconsciously tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, who was more sensitive to auras.
Yi Qing frowned and replied, “Celestial Emperors.”
What?
“...”
Shit! Little animals my ass! What exactly did this rotten foodie Shen Ying do while she was sleep-walking?
“Greetings, Exalted Goddess!”
Surprisingly, the two immortals bowed politely to Shen Ying. Not a hair was out of place.
“Hey, it’s been a long time since we last met!” Shen Ying waved at the two of them and gestured toward the empty space in front of her. “Come and sit down.”
The two of them started, then they immediately shook their heads profusely.
“No, no, no! Little Immortals do not dare to. We are fine to remain standing.”
“Yes, yes, yes, it suits me well to remain standing. We like to stand.”
You must be joking. They were here to ask for mercy. How would they dare to sit down? They had already been punished to stand at the foot of the mountain for half a month before Exalted Goddess’ anger finally subsided.
Now, she’s asking them to sit. Could it be...
The two of them subconsciously glanced at the table in front of Shen Ying. It was filled with various different types of meats, cooked in many different ways. The two of them began to tremble violently. Was this a threat? Was it a sign that she would cook them into one of these dishes if they did not do her bidding? She must have meant something along those lines!
How scary...
“Alright.” Seeing that the two of them were unwilling, Shen Ying did not bother to force them. She continued, “Well... Thanks for all the trouble you went to for the shortie.”
Indeed, she had not forgotten about this. They were lucky that they refused to sit down.
Blackbird and his companion sighed in relief. They had spent half a month preparing their hearts to do this. Finally, Blackbird sucked up the courage and stepped forward. “Exalted... Exalted... Exalted Goddess, please forgive us. It’s because... the immortal... immortal realm continent is way too... too big. We spent four days looking for Qu Shuang City and another day looking for this particular hill. That was why we were late.”
“Oh, it’s alright.” Shen Ying pointed to her side. “I asked you to come here for another matter. Come... Come over here and look at Roasted Chicken Gal’s situation.”
Roasted chicken!
The two of them exchanged a fearful look and trembled. Then, they spotted the woman lying on the floor. She looked exactly like the spirit seated next to Exalted Goddess.
“Yes!” The two of them rushed forward and took one hand each. The longer they studied her meridians, the paler they became. This person’s internal injuries... It’s obvious that she was burnt by something. They thought about Exalted Goddess referring to this woman as “Roasted Chicken Gal”...
Once again, they exchanged a fearful look. Horrible images began to fill their mind. Was this person really roasted alive? Did Exalted Goddess... not even spare human cultivators when she was hungry?
Σ(°△°|||)
They could not stop themselves from trembling as they continued to study the woman’s meridians.
“How is she? Can she be saved?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.
The two of them almost jumped in fright. Fortunately, half a month of preparation did not go to waste. They swallowed the squeak that almost escaped their mouths.
Blackbird sucked in a deep breath and replied, “Exalted... Exalted Goddess, this person’s body has been burnt... severely, but she can recover. A tenth-grade immortal pill will do the trick. It’s just that the life inside her body has ceased. If we want to allow the spirit to return to its body, we must restart the life inside the body.” It did not matter what was the reason that Exalted Goddess changed her mind and decided to save the woman. They would just pretend they did not know what happened... Yes, they did not know anything!
“Oh...” So that’s the reason why Roasted Chicken Gal could not return to her body.“Go on.”
“My Phoenix Cry Palace used to have Dry Half-Moons that could help the spirit return to its body, but...” But the Phoenix Cry Palace had already been destroyed by Biao Ting. He did not know if he could still obtain it.
Biao Ting started and immediately raised his hand. “I have some! I have some! I have Half Dry-Moons! It can definitely help her recover.” Stupid bird, didn’t we say we would be brothers through this calamity? How could he think about selling him out?
“Oh, sorry to trouble you, then.” Shen Ying sighed in relief. Finally, everything was settled.
“Exalted Goddess, you are way... way too kind. This is what we should... should do!” Biao Ting wiped the drops of cold perspiration from his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief himself. Suddenly, as if recalling something, he said, “The Half Dry-Moon must be eaten within half a minute of retrieving it for it to take effect, otherwise it would be useless. This... Immortal, if you want to recover, you must follow me to the Heavens beyond Heaven.”
“Thank you, Fellow Immortals!” Feng Ying was elated. He had not imagined that the matter would be resolved this easily. It felt just like a dream.
Roasted Chicken Gal immediately bowed in thanks as well. Then, she turned to face Shen Ying and said, “Shen Ying, you have saved me once again.”
“Don’t worry about it.” She had not done anything after all. She remembered something important, then turned to address the two demon immortals once more. “Oh yes, you two seem very proficient in diagnosing illnesses. Why don’t you take a look at him while you’re at it!”
She pointed to Yi Qing.
“Yes!” The two of them rushed to Yi Qing’s side and studied the immortal Qi surrounding him. He had the aura of one who was ascending to become an emperor, but it was clear that he had not made it to the Emperor Ascension Stage. They casually asked, “Fellow Immortal, I wonder who...”
“Oh, he’s my chef!” Shen Ying answered instinctively.
There was a strange silence.
Then, a thud.
The two of them were now on their knees because their jelly legs could no longer hold their weight.
Che... Che... Chef. She has even prepared her Chef.
Didn’t she say she would forgive them?
