Yi Qing’s thoughts moved, and he tried to call out the assistant seal in the sea of consciousness. Almost instantly, a line of crooked and twisted black fonts appeared in the air, and the three words, “letter of appointment”, hung high up on the top. Even his cores were immediately pushed away, and fell down.

Yi Qing gritted his teeth, activated his Divine Perception and started to touch that line of black fonts. Familiar assistant energy came out from the letter of appointment, filling his body instantly, His meridians which were already drying up felt a significant relief, not unlike the previous times.

But no!

There were some differences. He looked over carefully, and saw that in the last line of the letter of appointment, the final punctuation mark seemed much fainter than others in color.

Could it be that the assistant energy that he used to use were only this little bit?

His heart sank, and he hesitated no more. His divine perception swept right towards those fonts in the air. Immediately, an energy surprisingly huge burst out. The black fonts in the air melted and smashed over his whole sea of consciousness instantly, the way thick ink was splashed. The sea of consciousness which was originally totally white dimmed down immediately, with only the two cores at the bottom shining.

That huge wave of energy swept across his body. His whole body looked as though it was going to burst.

“Chef! What’s up with you? Holy **! Don’t scare me!” Seeing that the man suddenly started spitting blood, Lonemoon was shocked. “I already said that you should just stop. What on earth is up with you?”

Yi Qing couldn’t hear Father Niu’s voice at all. His whole sea of consciousness was almost going to burst from the energy that kept increasing. He breathed in deeply, gritted his teeth and struggled to activate his cores in the sea of consciousness. He moved them in the way he usually cultivated on ordinary days.

Master said that every plane is different. Theirs was an immortal-spiritual plane, so every existence of the plane is supposed to appear in the form of immortal spells. It should also be the same for that assistant seal.

The cores started spinning faster and faster, as though they directly moved all the aura around them. In a short while, the energy which was at first increasing rapidly started gathering towards the cores in the middle. And the speed of gathering became faster and faster. That bursting sensation on his body died down as well.

The two cores worked together and spun in the same direction. One gathered the black gas from the assistant seal, and another gathered the whiteness which originally existed in the sea of consciousness.

In a short while, the assistant seal which had “letter of appointment” written on it disappeared as well, leaving only two constantly spinning cores. And the blackness and whiteness about them were clearly segregated, but complementary, forming a Yin-Yang symbol.

At the same time, he felt the originally dried-up meridians recover fully in an instant. There was a relaxed feeling over his body as he had never felt before. In a moment, it was as though everything in the whole world was in front of his eyes. There was a change to the empty sea of consciousness as well. A golden plane tree identical to that in the Divine Realm appeared in the middle of it.

He finally opened his eyes.

“Che-Chef?” Lonemoon was stunned. He looked at the person who was in pain a moment ago but seemed to recover suddenly. He somehow felt that he was a bit different from before. Even the aura on his body had an inexplicable suppression about it, making him step back subconsciously.

Yi Qing felt lost as well. So this was what a real assistant was. He turned back at the person behind him, “Father Niu…”

“Huh?”

Lonemoon couldn’t yet react, when Yi Qing suddenly raised a finger and pressed it to the area between his eyebrows. A strange energy was directed into him, and he felt a lightness in his body. Those injuries from Shen Ying’s beating recovered instantly. The injured Divine Perception was immediately fixed as well. Even the dried-up immortal power started filling up.

“Holy **! You’ve gone beyond a god?” Lonemoon looked at his hands with disbelief, and subconsciousness touched his face. Even the swollen baozi face was gone. He became a handsome dad once more. Hmm, he was going to show his daughter his original look.

He turned back subconsciously, but got dragged back by Yi Qing who saw through him.

“Get back!” The corner of Yi Qing’s mouth twitched. “Observe your sea of consciousness internally and integrate the assistant seal completely. That’s the real power of assistants!”

“Integrate!” Lonemoon was shocked. That thing is supposed to need integrating? He’d never thought that way before. He looked at him, awed. Thinking about the terrifying abilities that he suddenly gained, he understood it immediately. He closed his eyes and went into the sea of consciousness right away.

With Chef’s prior reminder, Father Niu worked ever quicker. Within less than two minutes, he opened his eyes. The aura on him was changed instantly as well. It was exactly the same as Chef’s.

“Wow! This is too awesome!” Lonemoon looked down at himself in disbelief. So a plane assistant is actually so great? He suddenly remembered all those shocking special abilities of Shen Ying in the past: Tearing up realm gates with bare hands, cutting up an ocean with a sword, etc. He suddenly felt that he could also do it right now!

His look fell, and he turned towards that small world in front of him which was still trapped by spells. His eyes grew cold. He turned towards Chef beside him and said deeply, “Get rid of that little mushroom!”

With that said, the two moved together. They grabbed at the void and then pulled. The mushroom which couldn’t be broken off just now was pulled out immediately like a carrot being pulled from the earth. It flew away from the plane tree.

Seeing that it was about to fly further and further away Yi Qing suddenly produced a spell. Instantly, blue lights shone around the floating mushroom. Four rays of translucent blue light connected to form the shape of a box, locking the whole small world inside. The mushroom was fixed to a position three or four meters from the plane.

“What are you doing?” Lonemoon didn’t understand. “Why don’t you just let it drift out into the void and disappear?” At any rate, it was evicted from their plane.

“Master only told us to get it out of the plane, not to destroy it directly.” Yi Qing said in a deep voice. “She must have other plans for it.”

Lonemoon nodded and looked once more at that faraway mushroom. Never mind. Those intruders couldn’t invade other small worlds for the time being, anyway. The matter was finally resolved and he could also be relieved. What was more important now was…

“Little Ying…” He suddenly turned back, and the serious face instantly changed, as he wore on a milk dad-like smile. “Daddy is back…”

“Get lost!”

Little bitch! Don’t you think of touching my Master.

——————

The people of Invincible Sect felt deeply that Elder Lonemoon was sick. Within a night, he seemed to have gotten a sickness which propelled him to show off his daughter non stop. And it couldn’t be cured.

Ever since he came back from the immortal-demon border, he brought back a little girl from nobody knew where, and declared that she was his daughter. After that, his whole character changed. He no longer nagged at the disciples to cultivate, earn money, and work. Every day, all he did was going around the sect idly, showing off his daughter to every single person that he met.

“Little Hong, come and see, come and see! This is Little Ying of my family! How do you find her? Cute, right? My daughter!”

“Little Bai, this is my daughter, Little Ying. The cutest thing in the whole universe. My daughter! Cute, right?”

“Little Black, come here, come here. I’ll let you take one look at my Little Ying. Only one look, okay! My daughter is cute, right? You are Little Hong have to work hard! Hahahaha….”

“Hey, there! Let me introduce you to Little Ying here. Cute, right? My daughter!”

“…”

Within a day, almost every disciple was stopped by him once. Yet before anyone could see the look of the child he was holding, he turned away once more, as though it would hurt him to give others one extra look.

The whole Invincible Sect was immensely confused. Not to mention that they didn’t see what the child looked like at all, Elder Lonemoon was single until now, and he didn’t even have one female cultivator which he was close to. The only one, Little Hong, was already married to Little Black. Where did this daughter of his come from?

So here was the question: Who was the mother of the child?
