n“What did you come back for?” Didn’t she say she will leave to nurture a new plane?

nAs she walked over, she helped them fend off the attacks and said, “You all have helped me before! I can’t bring myself to do something as disloyal as walking away and letting you fend for yourselves!” She gritted her teeth and her expression turned aggressive. “Shit, it’s just one life. If I lose it, then so be it!”

n“…” Lonemoon stared blankly at her. Faintly, he felt like he was looking at the disciples of the Invincible Sect once again.

n“That’s right, where’s that lady Shen Ying? Is she alright?” Fang Fang looked around and asked anxiously.

nAlright, this was not just Lonemoon hallucinating! This freaking Shen Ying – did she steal the role of the male lead in some novel by accident? Why were all the girls so obsessed with her?

n“She’s alright!” Lonemoon pursed his lips. “I’ve already left the big boss to her – we’re just in charge of dealing with these people.

nThe pear girl heaved a sigh of relief and focused on the people charging toward them. Now that she was here to help them out, Lonemoon and Yi Qing had a much easier time. What’s more, she had already gotten rid of two more enemies as well. It was now three against nine. Given Fang Fang’s powers, she could only deal with one other manager at a time. However, Lonemoon and Yi Qing were more than powerful enough to deal with four each.

nSuddenly, there was a power shift in the battle. The remaining managers were getting more and more injured by the minute. Within two minutes, another two became severely injured. Yu Heng, who had been standing on the stage observing the battle, suddenly looked somber. He frowned and tutted, “Hmph, you little ants!”

nHe stepped forward and stopped in front of the light wall that Lonemoon had set up to trap two managers earlier. He started to reach out to break the light wall and let the two people out. Just as he clenched his fists, a hand reached out from beside to stop him.

nHe turned and saw a relaxed face with a smile on it. “I’m sorry, you’re my task!”

nHuh?

nYu Heng paused. Who was this person? Where did she come from? He instinctively twisted his hand to escape her grip, but found that… he could not move at all!

nShen Ying narrowed her eyes. “So… can we start?”

nStart… what?

nBefore he could react, he felt a huge force overcoming him. He felt his heart drop. With his other hand, he mustered all of his strength and reached out to strike Shen Ying.

nShen Ying immediately loosened her grip and blocked off his attack. Yu Heng’s palm came into contact with her arm. This blow contained all of Yu Heng’s strength. Ordinary managers would become paralysed if not dead. Yet… Shen Ying did not flinch even one bit. Instead, Yu Heng flew backward!

nThe impact from his blow rebounded and sent him flying at least ten feet backward.

nOn the other side… Shen Ying felt a slap on her arm like somebody had just been trying to kill an ant.

nYu Heng: “…”

nShen Ying: “…”

nYu Heng jumped in shock. He stared in disbelief at the woman in front of him. She could actually fend off his attack. “What kind of person are you?”

n“Er…” That was a good question. The key was she had no idea how she did it as well. So she shot back, “Why are you bad guys always asking the same questions?” Did they have some kind of internal meeting to decide these things?

nYu Heng’s expression darkened. His confusion suddenly turned to rage. “I don’t care who you are! Don’t even think about leaving this place alive today.” He lowered his gaze and the aura around his body shifted. Suddenly, it grew at a frightening rate, with several times the power that he seemed to have earlier. It was almost as if he had guessed that Shen Ying was no easy target. He was determined to give this fight his all. The fact that she could escape from the blow he dealt her at such close proximity proved to him that she was good at close-proximity battles. As long as he kept his distance, she might not be his mat-

n“Is that so?” He heard her voice by her ear. The woman who had been more than ten feet away from him was now standing right behind him, so that he could not even see her.

nThe next thing he knew, a bone-shattering blow hit his back and a sharp pain shot through his entire body. Faintly, he felt something inside him crack. It was like his body had been shot out of a cannon. He flew over the water body and fell into it, sliding right through the water surface and causing a huge wave. As he cut through the water body, he dragged down three other managers who had been fighting Lonemoon.

nLonemoon: “…”

nYi Qing: “…”

nFang Fang: “…”

nWere they redundant?

n“Master.” Yi Qing kept his sword and retreated. Lonemoon and Fang Fang also flew back toward Shen Ying.

n“Shen Ying, are you alright?” Fang Fang asked worriedly.

nShen Ying paused, having just realised Fang Fang was here. She raised her hand and greeted, “Hey, Pear Girl!”

n“…” Fang Fang stared blankly back at Shen Ying. Was the pear all she remembered about her?

nThe huge wave finally settled. Yu Heng swayed as he tried to get back on his feet. He was the only one who could still stand up. The other three managers who had been knocked over by him were sprawled on the floor, unconscious.

nYu Heng was quite gravely injured. The superficial wound he suffered from the punch Shen Ying dealt to his back was only secondary. The key thing was all the power in his body seemed to be drained right out. There was no way he could muster up anymore strength. He barely had enough power in him to remain standing. Suddenly, he stiffened. With hatred and extreme caution, he looked up at the woman standing opposite from him. He never imagined that she would have such a frightening amount of power in her little body. It was just one blow, yet he was nearly keeling over from it. Who exactly was this person? This was not the powers of an ordinary manager! Unless…

nAs if suddenly thinking of something, his face drained of colour and his eyes widened. He stared at Shen Ying in disbelief. “You’re a… monitor?”

nWhat?

nAll four of them stared blankly back at him. What the hell was that?

nYu Heng, however, took their silence as confirmation. His gaze turned ruthless and his beautiful face became increasingly twisted. “Hmph, I didn’t think that monitors still existed.” The fear in his eyes deepened. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, as if having made up his mind about something. “If that’s the case, all I can do is give it my all. I’ll see if monitors are really as powerful as the stories say you are.”

nHis expression changed and the aura around his body became richer still. The water body around him seemed to be activated and started to stir.

nLonemoon paused. He had a really bad feeling.

n“What’s going on?” Fang Fang was shocked too. The next thing she knew, her body was sinking. She felt like an overwhelming force was pushing her downward. Her legs trembled and her blood pressure began to surge. She felt like she was going to break into pieces at any moment. Shen Ying reached out and grabbed on to her. A warm feeling suddenly filled Fang Fang, and her entire body relaxed. She could stand upright again.

nShe turned back and saw that both Lonemoon and Yi Qing had somber expressions on their faces as well. Something opened up beneath Yu Heng’s feet. The patch of black under his feet spread outward rapidly, covering the entire water body. It was like someone was dying the entire place black with ink, and the black ink was fast approaching where the four of them were standing.

nLonemoon’s heart fell. He turned around instinctively and started. “The managers we locked up are missing! Shen Ying!”
