“Shen Ying, what are you doing tying us up?” Lonemoon subconsciously wanted to struggle out of the light rays around him, yet in the next moment the white light brightened, and another sharp pain came. That light ray actually tied even tighter. More importantly, he actually couldn’t activate his immortal qi at all, as though it was sealed.
“Good prep work you’ve done.” The expression of the person underneath grew even colder, and she said with some irony, “You even know my name. Tell me… how long have you invaded the plane?”
Yi Qing grew even more anxious, as he subconsciously wanted to move over. “Master, what on earth are you…”
“It hurts, it hurts…” Lonemoon explained, as the light rays tightened even more. “Chef, don’t anyhow move, okay?”
“Master?” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed. “Is it a bit too late to claim kinship now?”
“Are you serious, Shen Ying?” Disbelief was written all over Lonemoon’s face. “Could you really have lost your memory?”
Wait…
He looked at the person sitting on the chair very carefully, and his eyes went wide open. “How is it that I feel you’ve gotten shorter?” He glanced at her once more. It wasn’t an illusion. The person opposite them was really shorter. Even the dharma clothing on her body became too long.
“Shen Ying, you-”
“It seems that you don’t intend to speak the truth without some suffering!” Before he could finish, Shen Ying seemed to have lost her patience. She lifted her hand to click at something, and in the next moment, the balls that surrounded the two suddenly opened up into flower petals. From the two sides two red light rays appeared, which connected together, forming a loop. It slowly descended and stopped about their heads.
“Never mind. I can scan your brains directly. It’s the same.
In the next moment, the red loop became smaller and smaller. The red light was about to cut into their heads.
Lonemoon was so shocked that he started sweating. “Holy **! Can’t it be. Shen Ying you’re being serious!”
“You have the courage to invade a plane, so you must be prepared to pay the cost.”
“Invade?” Only then did Lonemoon understand that she misunderstood something and he hurried to say loudly, “Wait! We aren’t intruders. You’re not in Shen Jing’s plane at all. This is your Divine Realm!”
Shen Ying was stunned, and that red light loop paused as well. She sat up straight on the chair. “What did you say?”
Lonemoon was relieved. He just confirmed that she didn’t really lose her memory, not completely, but only about them.
“You’re not in your original plane any more. This is an immortal plane The starry sky behind you are the Three Realms of the plane.” Lonemoon recollected briefly everything that happened since their transmigration in the fastest speed possible, including her going into dormancy.
The more Shen Ying listened, the deeper she frowned. Her whole body released an aura of defensiveness against strangers. She glanced at the two people to and fro several times. After a long while she said with a deep voice, “You mean, I am the Manager of this plane right now?”
“Exactly!” Lonemoon hurried to nod. “If you don’t believe us, you can contact Shen Jing directly. Her words you’ve got to believe!”
Shen Ying’s face stiffened. Something flashed across her eyes, but she didn’t open up the communication. Instead, she walked over directly and reached out her hand. In the way one measures body temperature, she placed her hand on the foreheads each of the two and closed her eyes to sense for a while.
After a long time, she withdrew her hand and looked at the two with some surprise. Only then did she click at the light screen beside her. In the next moment, Lonemoon felt a relief all over his body. The light rays that tied them up suddenly disappeared. The two fell to the ground hard.
And that small light loop changed back to some balls, shrunk to the size of beads and flew back to Shen Ying’s palm.
“Master…” Yi Qing stood up immediately and subconsciously wanted to take her hand for examination. Shen Ying frowned and stepped back directly. Her look towards him was completely cold and distant. His stretched hand stiffened, and a bit of pain flashed in his eyes. “Are you… fine?”
Shen Ying frowned, and like she was not very used to it, she didn’t answer his question. Instead, she turned to say to them in all seriousness, “There are indeed assistant seals on you, so I’ll believe what you said for now. Besides, this place can indeed change according to my wishes.”
“This is your divine realm to begin with, of course it does whatever you want.” Lonemoon rubbed his waist, which was painful from being tied up, and then got up. “How many things have you forgotten after all?” How did he feel that not only her height was shorter, even her character changed completely. There was not a hint of the lazy look from before. And she didn’t talk so much as this before, because she was too lazy to talk.
Shen Ying’s expression darkened and she waved. In the next moment, the original pitch-black starry sky changed into a totally different scene, like a veil lifted. In an instant, the three were in a house several dozen meter squares large. In front of them was a tea table, and at the side was a familiar couch. This was the look of Shen Ying’s home in the past.
She turned to sit down directly on the sofa, and then asked, “How old is the me that you knew?”
Lonemoon exchanged a look with Yi Qing, and then answered, “This is a bit hard. The time after transmigration… was a bit hard to calculate. But I remember that the first time I met you, you said you were twenty-eight.
The corner of her mouth twitched, as though with some disdain. After a while she turned towards the two. “I remember that this year I am… fifteen!”
“Fifteen!” Lonemoon glanced at her up and down. No wonder she was short. It appeared that not only her memory but also her body returned to fifteen years old.
“Was it because we arbitrarily used the assistant seal and failed?” Yi Qing’s hands tightened beside his body and a bit of pain flashed in his heart. “That’s why Master you’d…”
“Are you an idiot?!” Shen Ying suddenly interrupted him unmercifully, rolling her eyes at Chef for the first time. “If you didn’t do that, I may not wake up forever.”
The two were stunned. What did that mean?
“You don’t understand?” Seeing their blank face, Shen Ying explained. “Didn’t you say that my sister told you I went dormant because of over-consumption and lack of energy? You guessed right. Assistant seal was indeed the most suitable energy for my recovery.”
“Then why…” Would their assistant seals be still on them.
“I must have set up a protection mechanism on your seals beforehand.” Shen Ying glanced at the two. “That’s why you couldn’t return it to me. Instead, you sent me another form of energy in the body.”
“Immortal Qi?”
“God Power?”
The two asked together.
“I don’t know what that’s called as well.” She flexed her hand. “But apparently, those two waves of energy wasn’t enough to make up for my consumption, so though I woke up, I returned to fifteen years old, instead of turning back to the Manager as before.”
“Then is Master going to continue being like this?” Yi Qing couldn’t help but ask.
Her look deepened, as she shook her head. “I don’t know.”
“How about… going to ask Shen Jing?” suggested Lonemoon. “She’s also a Manager. Even if she can’t resolve it, she must be able to help you. Besides, you’ve already woken up. You’d only have to lift the plane seal.”
Yi Qing also nodded. “That’s right. Right now Shen Jing is the only person who can possibly help Master.”
Yet Shen Ying didn’t move. Instead, she glanced at the two to and fro with a strange look. Her eyes opened wide, and she looked like the two like they were idiots.
After a long while, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she spit out several ice-cold words,
“Do you… want to die?”
Huh?
“How about, you shake your heads and check if you hear sea waves?”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
They suddenly felt that Shen Ying at fifteen was… so sinister!
