Chapter 596: Spirit Seed's Manifestation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While waiting for the food to be ready, Lonemoon forced all the information he needed out of the garlic demon. The Boss it was talking about was indeed the spirit seed. The entire forest full of tree demons had indeed turned into demons because of the spirit seed. And this garlic was the first among all the plants to form a consciousness. That was why all the trees listened to its orders.
Not long ago, however, the spirit seed suddenly got captured by a foreign demon. These trees kept chasing the demons in order to snatch the spirit seed back. Those demons were forced into the volcano. Since the trees were afraid of fire, they did not dare to go near them again. That was why they had no choice but to wait where they were, so that the demons would not be allowed to escape. But doing that was not very effective. All it did was to put both sides at a standstill.
"So from the looks of it, the spirit seed has already manifested?" Lonemoon frowned. He thought back to the scene of the moving trees. Turning to Shen Ying, he said, "Not only could the spirit seed mimic other forms, it could also manifest?"
"That's right!" Shen Ying nodded. "The spirit seed has a sentience. Its true form is that of a human!"
You should have said so earlier!
Lonemoon pursed his lips and quickly kept all his cutleries away. "Let's go and find it quickly!" It was then that they flew toward the volcano. The closer they got to the volcano, the higher the temperature of the surroundings became. Even Lonemoon began to feel extremely heated up. However, the entire group sensed a familiar aura being overwhelmed by the thickness of the heat and ashes, mixed with some demonic Qi.
Lonemoon conjured an isolation array around the three of them. Immediately, the hot air dissipated. Lonemoon turned around and said to the other two, "Look at the demonic Qi within the volcano. There must be some high-level demons inside. Be careful!" With that, they entered the volcano.
Indeed, the moment they entered, the demonic Qi mixed with the essential Qi charged at them. Everything around them was a fiery red. From time to time, hot ash and lava spewed out of the ground. The few of them tried to dodge the ash and lava as they followed the essential Qi into the inner parts of the volcano.
The further in they got, the wider the path became. Everything was pitch-black. Visibility was deteriorating.
"Master, the stone wall..." Yi Qing suddenly said.

Lonemoon turned and saw that on the stone wall inside the volcano, there were many little caves. It looked like somebody had dug them up on purpose. His heart fell. Holy shit! Did the demons that captured the spirit seed dig those caves? That garnishing garlic demon was indeed unreliable!
"There's demonic Qi and essential Qi on this," Yi Qing said. It was obvious that these caves were dug by the demons.
"Shit!" Lonemoon cursed under his breath. There were so many caves – where were they supposed to begin? "Let's pick the cave with the thickest demonic Qi."
"Are we going to crawl in?" Shen Ying tilted her head and glanced at Lonemoon questioningly.
"Nonsense!" Lonemoon instinctively replied. "If we don't chase after them, do you think the spirit seed will bounce out-"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud crash. Something fell down below them. Immediately, the tallest pillar of ash and lava fell before their eyes. Two figures appeared underneath their feet. Strong demonic Qi rushed up toward the group.
"It's bouncing out," Shen Ying pointed below and replied.
Lonemoon: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
It really did bounce out of its own accord!
(⊙_⊙)
Lonemoon pursed his lips and looked down. There were two men standing underneath them, one taller and the other shorter. The shorter man was only teen, and he looked terrified. The taller man was dressed in a green robe. He looked extremely muscular – Lonemoon could make out the shape of his muscles underneath. He was holding the teen by the collar and raising his fist to his face.
The important thing was ever since the two men appeared, thick essential Qi and demonic Qi filled the entire volcano The strong man looked extremely angry. He kept dealing blows onto the teenager's face. With each punch, the essential Qi became weaker and weaker, and the demonic Qi around the muscular man became thicker and thicker.
"That's the spirit seed?" Lonemoon turned back to look at Shen Ying.
"Mm, yes!" Shen Ying nodded.
The teenager's Qi was getting weaker and weaker. The muscular man pressed two fingers onto his forehead. Suddenly, the essential Qi around the teenager's body charged straight into the muscular man's body. He was feeding on his essential Qi!
Lonemoon's heart fell. He shouted, "Demon, stop it!"
Shen Ying jumped. She called out, "Father Niu..."
But Lonemoon was already flying over. At the same time, a strong surge of sword Qi flew toward the muscular man. As if realizing he was in danger, the man turned around. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was transfixed on Lonemoon.
The next moment, the muscular man flew backward and landed on the ground with a loud thud.
Lonemoon conjured another seal and caused the man to be pinned down where he was. He turned to look at the teenager on the floor. His breathing was already getting thin. Lonemoon frowned. He used his water-elemental healing techniques to cause the teenager to relax just a little more. The essential Qi around his body stabilized. He opened his eyes to scan the group standing in front of him and retracted backward.
"Don't worry," Lonemoon said soothingly. "We're here to bring you back!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The fear in the teenager's eyes remained. He looked at Lonemoon even more cautiously, not daring to move after realizing how strong the aura around Lonemoon's body was.
The muscular man who had just been attacked, however, looked up in a rage. He wanted to charge at Lonemoon out of indignance, but he was being locked down by the spell Lonemoon cast on him. No matter how many times he tried, he could not get back on his feet. All he could do was glare in Lonemoon's direction, willing himself free.
Lonemoon glanced at the muscular man and caused his own sword Qi to press down on him even harder. "Beast, how dare you mess with the spirit seed!" It was a good thing that they had arrived just in time. Otherwise, all the teenager's essential Qi would have been swallowed by this demon.
The muscular man stared blankly at them, and a crazed look flashed across his face. He was struggling even more by now. His mouth was moving, but he could not speak. Once again, Lonemoon's sword Qi pressed down harder on him. Lonemoon frowned. The strange thing was that Lonemoon could not tell what the demon's true form was. This demon from the Void Land was strange indeed.
Without bothering to look further into it, Lonemoon turned to the teenager. After searching far and wide, they had finally found the spirit see. Suddenly, Lonemoon couldn't care less about whether the spirit seed wanted to or not. He picked the spirit seed up by the collar and turned to Shen Ying. "When can we open the plane gates and go home?" He needed to complete this task before doing anything else.
"Mm... tomorrow?" Shen Ying replied.
"Then let's get out of here first." Lonemoon retrieved his flying sword and mounted it, ready to leave the volcano.
But Shen Ying turned around to look at the muscular man. Pointing at him, she said, "Chef, take him!"
Yi Qing hesitated, but picked the muscular man up obediently. "Yes, Master."
"Why are you bringing this demon along?" Lonemoon turned to Shen Ying. If they could survive in the volcano for so long, it was likely that the demons were fire-elemental. They would be alright even if they left them there.
Shen Ying's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.
"Forget it!" Lonemoon turned back around, not bothering any further. "Remember to open the plane gates tomorrow. I've had enough of this wretched place."
"..."
With that, the group flew out and toward the plains in the middle of the forest just outside. The tree demons were still there. On seeing them emerge from the volcano, even the garlic plant stood upright.
Before they could land, the garlic plant bounced toward the group. Agitated, it shouted, "Boss! You're finally back!" It bounced high up in the sky and buried its own head into... the arms of the muscular man that Yi Qing was carrying!
"Boss, I've missed you to death!"
Huh?
Yi Qing: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
Holy shit! What the hell?

Chapter 597: Spirit Seed's Spirit Returns
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"What's the matter? He's the spirit seed?" Lonemoon looked in confusion at the muscular man. How could this be? There was demonic Qi all around his body, and not even a bit of the essential Qi. What's more, if this was what the spirit seed looked like after manifestation, it had a bit too much nutrition in its body, didn't it?
Chef jumped backward and raised his hands to undo the sorcery around the muscular man. He released his divine perception to scan him and found that the demonic Qi was floating around his body. HIs expression darkened as he said, "This demonic Qi doesn't seem to be his."
With that, he conjured another seal and tapped the muscular man in the middle of his forehead so that all the demonic Qi around his body disappeared at once. He looked like a ruptured balloon. Immediately, he became thin. Even his muscles began to disappear. The spirit seed looked like it was going backward in time – from a grown and muscular man, he slowly turned into a little boy who did not even reach Lonemoon's waist. Immediately, his body emitted strong essential Qi that was several times thicker than that around the teenager.
He really was the spirit seed!
"Boss! What happened to you?" The garlic jumped and exclaimed. He turned back to Chef and waved his leaves frantically. "What did you do to Boss?"
"I just helped it to recover its true appearance." It was bloated with demonic Qi earlier.
The spirit seed, that was now a child, looked at his own small body several times before finally looking up at Lonemoon. Suddenly, he scrunched up his nose and began to cry.
"Wah.... His wails were heart-wrenching – he sounded like he had been put through a lot of injustice.
Lonemoon pursed his lips. He had not recovered from the shock of seeing the muscular man shrink down to this little boy. Suddenly, he felt guilty. "Why are you crying?"
"Boss, don't cry! Don't cry..." The garlic demon was beginning to panic as well. It waved its leaves to comfort him. "Don't worry! If they bully you, I will... I will spice them to death! With that, the garlic bore with the pain of plucking off one garlic root from its own body and then threw it toward the group of three.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Don't spice them!" The spirit seed suddenly snapped out of his crying, opened his arms and defended the group of three.
"Boss..." The garlic demon stared blankly at him.
The spirit seed turned around and hugged Lonemoon, who was standing behind him. In an indignant voice, he called out, "Father!"
Huh?
Shen Ying: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
What the hell?!
w(゚Д゚)w
"Stinky brat, don't call just anyone that!" Lonemoon pursed his lips and tried to push the child away, but the child tightened his grip around Lonemoon's thigh.
As he hugged Lonemoon's thigh, he began to cry once again. Sniffling, he wailed, "Wah... Father, Father, don't you want me anymore?"
"Who doesn't want... Who are you calling Father?"
"Father..."
"Shut up! Stop calling me that! Wait..." He turned around and glared at the master and disciple duo next to him. "Why are the two of you looking at me like I'm someone who walked out on his own family? Wouldn't the both of you know better if I had any children?"
The master and disciple exchanged a meaningful look, then turned back to Lonemoon. In a voice that said they did not want to stir any trouble, they said, "We don't!"
"My ass!" Lonemoon's rage was rising up his chest and threatening to overwhelm him. His dharmic robes were becoming increasingly drenched from the little boy's tears. No matter how hard he tried to peel the boy off of him, the boy would not budge. Instead, he kept trying to climb up Lonemoon's body, determined to cling on to him. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me! If you want this month's allowance, you'd better help me peel him off!"
The two of them stepped forward and peeled the spirit seed off Lonemoon's body. As if suddenly thinking about something, Shen Ying asked, "Well... Father Niu, may I ask you who's the mother of this child?"
"Shut-"
Before he could finish speaking, the little boy turned and buried his face in Shen Ying's arms. He began to wail again.
"Mom!"
Lonemoon: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Yi Qing: "..."
The next moment, Chef's expression turned extremely dark. With a swoosh, he drew his sword and emphasized each word as he said,"Master, I don't think this person is the spirit seed. Let's slaughter him!"
Who was he calling Mom?!
"..."
—————
Lonemoon guessed that the spirit seed referred to himself and Shen Ying as his father and mother because he could tell that they were managers. He was this plane's spirit seed. He was meant to be able to sense their managers' aura. What's more, he had just manifested, so he was not yet mature. With the added unreliability of that big garlic demon, it was natural that he thought he was to address the plane's managers as the people closest to him.
The only person whom the spirit seed addressed unnaturally was Chef...
"Second Younger Brother!"
"..." What the hell was Second Younger Brother?
"Master, are we really not allowed to kill him?" Chef asked with a serious expression. "Why not I cut off both of his legs? He'll grow them again soon, anyway!" He would grow them every month!
Shen Ying: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
"Enough, enough, enough. Stop bullying the little child." It was rare to see Chef with the short end of the stick. Lonemoon quickly stepped forward to pull the child back before scanning him from head to toe. This was one fat and healthy child – how could he bear for him to grow up handicapped? "Talk, Little Spirit Seed. What happened? What's the matter with this guy?"
Lonemoon pointed at the teenager who still had essential Qi surrounding his body. Earlier, he had only sensed the essential Qi. On closer inspection, it was clear that this teenager was the real demon. Lonemoon raised his hand to conjure a seal, causing the teenager to take on its true form – a fiery red demon covered in scales. Although it was a high-level demon, it looked injured. Its true form was several times smaller than an average-sized human.
"He's a baddie! He wanted to eat me!" The spirit seed's little face suddenly became filled with rage as he spat, "When I was sleeping, he tried to eat me! That's why I wanted to eat him!"
Eat?
Lonemoon hesitated and recalled the scene they stumbled upon earlier. Did he mean the demonic Qi? It was no wonder that he had so much demonic Qi in his body. He had obtained all of that by sucking demonic Qi from the demons. On the other hand, the essential Qi around the demons' bodies was obviously from the spirit seed
So the demons had consumed the essential spirit Qi in the spirit seed's body, so the spirit seed consumed their demonic Qi? Wasn't he putting himself at a major disadvantage then? It was no wonder that the demon they caught now looked so frightened of them. It had very little demonic Qi left in its own body.
"Who taught you to protect yourself so that you don't get cheated?" Lonemoon instinctively asked.
The moment he asked the question, the master and disciple both turned to look at him.
"What are you looking at!" He glared at them. "Poke your nose out of my affairs!" Did they really think he was the child's father?
Yi Qing: "..." Heh heh heh, as long as you're happy...
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Shen Ying tilted her head and studied the little child, as if deep in thought.
Unless...
——————
Now that they found the spirit seed, Shen Ying and the rest had no reason to stay any longer. Early the next morning, they decided to set off. Lonemoon forced the essential Qi out of the demon and returned it to the spirit seed, before throwing the demon back into the volcano. It was not easy to deal with the garlic demon, however. No matter what, it refused to let the spirit seed go. It was like it could not let the spirit seed be stolen out of its sight once again. The more it panicked, the more the garlic plant would throw garlic at the group of three.
Since it was the first complete living spirit that the spirit seed produced, the group decided that it would not be good to leave the garlic plant behind. Therefore, Lonemoon produced a flower pot and placed the garlic demon inside. He allowed the spirit seed to carry the garlic back with them. After all, once they got back, Mi Le would be there to take care of it.
Once it was time, Shen Ying opened the plane gates. In a blink of an eye, they found themselves back in the divine realm.

"You're back!" The moment they landed, they saw Mi Le dressed in a tuxedo, seated on the sofa. He was smiling warmly at the few of them, as if he had been waiting a long time. "That was fast. You're Little Ying indeed – you found the spirit seed so quickly."
"You gave him the authorization to open and close the divine realm?" Lonemoon turned to Shen Ying.
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded. "I gave it to him the previous time."
"..." Lonemoon frowned. Even Chef's expression darkened. Were they that close?
Mi Le set down the cup of tea in his hands and walked over to them. He was still smiling warmly as his gaze fell on the little child carrying the pot. He hesitated. "Eh? The spirit seed manifested so early?" He reached out toward the child.
Immediately, the little spirit seed took one step back to avoid his touch. He hid behind Lonemoon's legs, staring cautiously at the man in front of him. The spirit seed tugged at Lonemoon's robes. "Father."
Lonemoon pursed his lips and pulled the child out from behind him. He pointed to Mi Le and said, "That's your father!"
The little spirit seed stared blankly at Lonemoon, then at Mi Le. He looked absolutely confused as to what to do next.
Shen Ying stepped forward and asked, "Flower, what's the result?"
Mi Le looked at her, confused. "Little Ying, can't you call me by my actual name?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"No!"
"..." He sighed and gave her a look that said he did not know what to do with her. Shrugging, he said, "I've already asked around, but I didn't get much. It seems like the other party isn't even clear about things either."
"So..." Shen Ying narrowed her eyes. "You came here empty-handed?"
"Er..." Mi Le hesitated, his grin widening. "Little Ying, don't say that. At least I confirmed that your previous guess was correct. It really did exist."
"Is that right?" Shen Ying broke into a grin. "Flower, we haven't met for a long time. Have you forgotten what I said before?"
"N-N-No, I haven't," Mi Le's face drained of all color.
"Wait!" The longer Lonemoon listened to this conversation, the more he could not help himself from stepping in. "What are the two of you talking about?" Why did this scene look like a failed business negotiation?
Shen Ying sucked in a deep breath and turned to address Chef and Lonemoon. "Both of you, wait for awhile. I'm trying to keep to the promise I made a long time ago."
What promise?
Before either of them could respond, Shen Ying walked toward Mi Le. Suddenly, a strong aura filled the entire divine realm. She picked Mi Le up by the collar and threw him toward the space in front.
"Wait, Little Ying! You're for real?" Mi Le's perfect and warm smile was wiped off his face. In its place was a look of horror.
"What are you trying to do? If you have something to say, say it nicely. You promised Older Sister Jing that you wouldn't hit me!"
"Doing this is wrong, Little Ying. How can you bear to hurt me? We were your only classmates... Ah!"
"Little Ying, I know I'm wrong. I'm wrong. But it's not my fault she didn't know. Ah ya ya..."
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Calm down, calm down, Little Ying... Wait, you can't kick me there! Ah.... Ah~!"
Shen Ying was over the top with rage. Each blow she dealt on Mi Le seemed harder than the one before. What's more, she was aiming right for his face. The entire divine realm began to shake from the impact.
All of Mi Le's poise and grace were gone by now. His screams and wails echoed throughout the entire realm.
Lonemoon, who was in the audience but could not understand what was going on, took one look at the man who was being beaten out of shape. He could not help but nudge at Chef and ask, "Don't you think that Shen Ying... is hitting him a bit too harshly?" They were classmates after all.
"I don't think so!" Yi Qing answered without hesitation. He walked over and retrieved his sword. "Master, you'll injure your hands if you keep this up. Why not use the sword instead?"
Lonemoon: "..."
Chef was really kicking the man when he was down, wasn't he?
Indeed, when dealing with love rivals, even the most principled people would throw their own logic and ideals aside. Lonemoon had to say that Chef was doing the right thing.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Thus ,he summoned his own storage bag and threw it over. "If you don't have enough swords, there are more here!" Go for it!
Don't stand on ceremony – please hit him as hard as you can!
Mi Le: "..."
Are you devils?
o(≧口≦)o
Shen Ying's beating lasted for an entire hour. The divine realm was threatening to fall apart before she finally stopped. Mi Le's face was so swollen that he resembled a pig. There was not one patch of skin untouched on his entire body.
He lay on the floor, tears streaming down his cheeks as he looked at the group of three of them. He wiped his cheeks as he whined disgustingly, "Little Ying, I've been so loyal to you. How can you bear to do this to me?"
Shen Ying's expression hardened. She tutted, "You're still itching to be beaten, aren't you?"
"No, no, no!" He trembled and wiped the disgusting expression off his face. Sucking in shallow breaths, he said, "You're still as violent as you were before. You didn't even bother to talk before you took action..." Mi Le trailed off mid-sentence as he reached up and touched his own deformed face. From out of nowhere, he pulled out a mirror and looked at himself before screaming.
"Ah!!! My face!" His expression changed immediately, he looked so angry that it was almost as if he could bring the entire sky down. Supporting his own heavily swollen face, he pointed at the group of them and said, "You... you... how can you bear to destroy my perfect face?!"
Lonemoon: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Damn it! Now even the two of them had the urge to beat him up!
"Little Ying, you're too much! You're just jealous, that's why you targeted my face." Perhaps he had been triggered by seeing his own deformed face. The gentlemanliness that he put on earlier was now completely cast aside – he was showing his true colors. Again, from out of nowhere, he pulled up a little white box. As he looked into the mirror, he stroked his own face gingerly in an attempt to regain his looks. "I'm so seriously injured. I don't even know how many hours it would take me to recover. All I can do is hide this. Little Ying, do you have concealer?"
"Shut up!" Shen Ying glared at him.
"If you don't have concealer, foundation will work as well!"
"Do you want to die?"
"..." He finally sealed his mouth shut and turned around to retrieve a huge make-up bag. He began to work on his own face.
Lonemoon pursed his lips. He could not stop himself from asking Shen Ying, "Has he always been this way?"
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Normally, he'll be like that after someone exposes his true colors." Otherwise, he could be quite the actor.
"..." Indeed, those from the administrative committee were all crazy!
Shen Ying seemed to have thought of something. Her expression darkened. "Back in school, whenever we went out on missions, he would always hide in a corner to touch up his make-up after fighting halfway." Not only did he cause Shen Ying to have to fight for two, she even had to drag him back home after she was done. If she did not do that, he would turn around and report all her misdeeds to her older sister! Shen Ying could graduate from the administrative committee so quickly, partly because she was so disgusted by Mi Le.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"What was the promise that Master was talking about earlier then?" Yi Qing could not help but ask.
Shen Ying's expression darkened. A moment later, she said, "When I graduated, I swore that I would beat him each time I saw him atfer that!" Hmph, she still owed him a beating from the previous time. Once the swelling went down on his face, she would hit him again!
Yi Qing: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
Alright, that was Shen Ying! Lonemoon was beginning to doubt what the people from the administrative committee said earlier. These two people did not seem to have any affection for each other – instead, it seemed like all they had was vengeance! The fact that Mi Le could live to this day was already impressive.
Chapter 599: Mi Le's Lie
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mi Le took two whole hours to do his makeup. Midway through, Shen Ying gave him another meeting. He quickly used his own assistant's powers to heal the wounds on his face. He kept complaining the entire time that this was not good for the skin. He was complaining so much that even Lonemoon began itching to give him a beating. It could be said that the gentlemanly facade was completely gone and he was now at ease with being himself. To put it nicely, he was now a full high-class boy. Suddenly, they wanted to light a candle for the manager of his plane!
"He doesn't have a manager," Shen Ying said casually.
"What?" Lonemoon and Yi Qing stared blankly at her. How could there be an assistant without a manager?
Just as the two of them started to ask, Shen Ying stepped forward and kicked the person on the ground. "How exactly did you tell my older sister?"
"How else could I tell her?" Mi Le guarded his face like it was the most precious part of his body. Then, he continued, "I told her honestly about what you said about that Big Dao Organization the last time, that's all."
"You told my older sister about that!" Shen Ying clenched her fists by her side.
"No, no!" He quickly added. Taking one step back, he said, "Since when did I say I talked about you! I only said I chanced upon it. She asked around and said that there was no monitor there. But she did not tell me much about what a physical monitor looked like."
Shen Ying frowned and scanned Mi Le from head to toe. Mi Le trembled, then took another step backward, with his hands still guarding his face.
"Stop hitting me!" He quickly exclaimed. "You know what your sister is like. If she doesn't want to tell me something, it wouldn't matter how much I ask her. I've tried my best. You can't blame me for going back on my word."
Going back on his word?
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon paused and turned to Chef. They both exchanged a meaningful glance. Did Shen Ying go all the way to the Void Land to find the spirit seed just so that Mi Le could go back to Shen Jing and find out more about monitors? How afraid of her own older sister was she?
"What would I want you for?" Shen Ying rolled her eyes.
"I've always been this useless!" Mi Le responded, looking at her as if to ask if this was the first day she had known him. He did not seem at all ashamed about his inabilities. In fact, he seemed proud of them. Mm, I want to hit him even more at this point. "Alright, alright. Matters have already turned out this way. If it helps, I can just send several boxes of makeup to you in the future, Little Ying. How's that?"
"Get out!" You freaking sissy.
"Alright, I'm getting out now then." Mi Le opened the plane gates, fully aware of what he needed to do next. After pausing for a moment, he walked toward Lonemoon. "I'll bring your spirit seed with me!"
He made a move for the little boy who was the spirit seed, but the little boy avoided his hand and hid behind Lonemoon once again. The boy looked up at Mi Le with caution, then turned to Lonemoon and whined, "Father, I don't want to go with him!"
Lonemoon sighed, squatted down and touched the little boy's head. "Be good, listen to me. You belong to his world. Go back with him."
"No!" Perhaps because Mi Le was only an assistant and not a manager, the little boy wanted nothing to do with him. What's more, he seemed to have been terribly frightened. He had thrown aside the pot containing the garlic demon and hidden behind Lonemoon just to avoid Mi Le's touch. Now, he ran toward Shen Ying and clung on to her leg. The little boy began to wail. "Wah ah... I don't want to go! Don't give me away!"
"..." Was he trying to stick with them?
"Why have you become so disobedient after manifesting?" Mi Le sighed. He turned and walked toward the spirit seed. "Now you're making me look like a kidnapper."
"Mother... Mother..." The spirit seed was crying even harder by now as he tugged on Shen Ying's sleeve.
"Mother? Father?" Mi Le's eyes widened and darted between Shen Ying and Lonemoon in shock. Then, he narrowed his eyes. It was a long while later before he spoke. "Oh~ No wonder you don't dare to approach Older Sister Jing. So-"
Lonemoon and Yi Qing's expressions darkened at once. "You can get out now!" Stop jumping to conclusions.
"Alright, alright, alright." He was looking at them with more suspicion now. He nudged Lonemoon and asked, "I'm just going to ask – is your third leg any good?"
Lonemoon: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Chef drew his sword. Indeed, it would be far better to kill this man!
"I'm off." Seeing that Yi Qing was about to explode with anger, Mi Le immediately turned around and reached out for the little boy, prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Shen Ying suddenly stretched her hand out to stop them.
"What's the matter?" Mi Le paused. As if thinking of something, he grinned. "Can you not bear to see this handsome man leave?"
Shen Ying's expression darkened. "You can leave, but he cannot!"
"Why not?" Mi Le stared blankly at Shen Ying. "You're regretting this, aren't you? Hey, hey, hey, Little Ying, you cannot do this! Even if you're jealous of my good looks, you cannot take this spirit seed away. You cannot joke about these matters."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Who says I'm joking!" Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and looked down at the boy who was still clinging on to her robes and wailing. "We've already talked about this before. If you find out about monitors for me, I would help you locate the spirit seed. You didn't keep your part of the bargain, so this deal has fallen through."
"Little Ying..." Mi Le frowned and said in a strict tone, "You knew that the spirit seed is important to my plane. Now he's already manifested. Huge changes will take place if he remains in this plane. He absolutely cannot remain here."
"What if I keep him here no matter what?"
"Little Ying!" Mi Le was getting anxious now. "His sentience is almost mature. He's only sticking to the both of you because you are managers. You cannot let your emotions get the better of you."
"Oh." She reached out and stroked the little boy's head. "But I'm not a manager."
"Huh?" He stared blankly at her. Something flickered across his face, but he recovered in a flash and frowned. "What did you say? Older Sister Jing already told us that you accepted this plane. How can you not be a manager? In any case, he cannot stay here. He must leave with me!"
Shen Ying lowered her gaze. "What if I refuse to give him over to you?"
"Little Ying, stop your nonsense!" Mi Le was beginning to look angry. As if recalling something a moment later, he raised his voice and threatened, "If you insist on doing this, then I... I'll have no choice but to tell Older Sister Jing about this. Don't blame me for that."
Shen Ying's expression darkened. She glared at Mi Le and did not say anything else for a long while.
Mi Le's grin widened. He was satisfied with himself. "Alright, Little Ying. Let's stop this. Take the spirit-"
"So this has something to do with my older sister as well!" Shen Ying suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh?" Mi Le looked at her, confused.
"You didn't even ask my older sister about monitors." Shen Ying's expression darkened as she looked him dead in the eye. "No! I should say that right from the beginning, you wanted nothing to do with my older sister. The only reason for this could be that this thing about monitors is related to me."
Mi Le remained confused and said nothing.
"The spirit seed is not yours indeed. You're not doing this for his own good either." Shen Ying pushed the little child over to the two men behind her. Stepping forward, she said, "Mi Le, you've bluffed me into the Void Land. What exactly did you want to do?"
"..."
Mi Le stood rooted to the ground. The grin on his face was completely gone by now. A moment later, he sighed, looking defeated. "Little Ying... How can you test me like that?" Indeed, it was difficult to trick the school bully. "Actually, I-"
"Say no more!" Shen Ying raised her hand to stop him from speaking. "Whatever you say can't be trusted, anyway. I'll ask myself."
The moment she finished speaking, she activated the communication button on her wristband.
Eh?!

"Wait, Little Ying!" Mi Le paled, wanting to stop her but it was already too late, Shen Ying had dialed Shen Jing on her communications device.
In almost the next second, a lighted screen sprung up and a face that looked 80% similar to Shen Ying's appeared on it.
"Little Ying, what's up? It's rare that you would take the initiative to contact me." Shen Jing's voice sounded immediately, as her gaze swept over, when she saw Mi Le, her eyes stopped and narrowed on him for a moment before widening again. "Hey, Flower is there too! Are you guys having a gathering?"
"HI~~~~ Sister Jing!" Mi Le raised his hand trembly, his smile looking slightly strained.
"Sister, do you have time to come over?" Shen Ying went right to the point. "I have some things I want to ask you in person."
"Why are you..." Shen Jing was about to ask what had happened when she glanced at Mi Le and seemed to be reminded of something. Her expression changed and she said, "Alright, hold on, I'll be there right away."
The screen switched off with a flash.
Mi Le's face became even paler. "You all chat, I have something on, I shall leave first!" With that said, he immediately turned and reached to open the plane gate but was pulled back by Shen Ying. "What's the rush!"
"Little Ying, don't be like this! I will really die!" Mi Le was miserable all over, looking like he was about to break out in tears. Your sister will really beat me to death!
Pity it was already too late, a white light flashed, Shen Jing walked out of the plane gate.

"Little Ying, why..."
Before she could finish, Mi Le broke free of Shen Ying's arms like a runaway horse and charged towards her in the next second. Then with a thud, he was on all fours, fitting in perfectly with the ground before her and cried out loudly, "Sister Jing, I was wrong!"
Lonemoon: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Such a strong desire to survive...
Shen Jing lowered her head to glance at him while asking subconsciously, "Your legs are broken?"
Mi Le shivered before he tittered and replied, "No no no Sister Jing. I just find that you look extremely pretty when I look at you kneeling down! Really!"
The three others: "..." Where are your principles?
"What's going on?" Shen Jing looked up at Shen Ying and the two others.
The few of them exchanged glances before Shen Ying came forward, asking, "Sister, do you know what's a monitor?"
Shen Jing was shocked, her eyes widening abruptly. "How did you know..." She was reminded of something and glanced down at Mi Le on the ground. "What have you said?"
"..." Mi Le shuddered as he lowered himself even more.
"He tricked us to make a trip to Void Land!" Shen Ying replied.
"Void L..." Shen Jing thought for a moment then abruptly glared at the person on the ground, her eyes instantly becoming a bursting red as she spat out her next words, "You tricked her to go participate in the qualifications test!"
For a few moments, the surrounding air stagnated, as if some terrifying energy was sweeping across the entire divine realm at once. Shen Jing looked like she'd been set on fire, the flames of her anger raging. The whole divine realm shook, cracks started to appear on the ground, as if it was about to collapse in the next second.
"Calm down, calm down, Sister Jing, listen to me. Isn't she fine now!" Mi Le trembled as he urged on. "Being angry isn't good for your body, wrinkles will grow easily. Besides, this is her divine realm, Sister Jing..."
"Sister!" Watching as the divine realm was about to collapse, Shen Ying could not help but called out.
The fury raging throughout Shen Jing was then slightly suppressed. She lifted the person on the ground in one hold and raised the other to draw open a special door, then instructed, "You all wait here for half an hour, we'll talk when I'm back!"
With that said, she walked into the door with Mi Le in tow, just as the door was about to close, Mi Le's quaking begging sounded faintly, "Sister Jing, I beg you, don't hit my face pl... ow~~~"
In the next moment, the door was shut, leaving behind an indistinct trace of aura of chaos.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing: "..."

Sisters indeed? Even the way they beat people up was so similar.
"Shen Ying, the door that Sister Jing opened earlier..." Lonemoon could not help but ask, "Don't tell me it leads to Chaos?"
"... Mm." Shen Ying nodded.
"..." Lonemoon froze. Why was she able to open the entrance to Chaos so casually, back before he took over the plane, just dealing with a beast of chaos already exhausted all his efforts, they were both managers but this difference was way too big.
Indeed proving herself to be part of the cheat family clan!
——————
Shen Jing said to wait for half an hour, but they waited for a whole one hour, yet the two of them still did not leave the Chaos. Instead, waves of movement would hit the entire divine realm from time to time, even the two plane trees would shake occasionally, as if they'd been hit by some impact.
On top of that, the flow of time differed in the Chaos, none of them dared to think about exactly how long Shen Jing had beat up Mi Le for. Anyway, two hours later, they saw Shen Jing walked through the door to Chaos again, she was dressed in another set of clothes, but there was no one else following behind her.
"Where is Mi Le?" Lonemoon asked instinctively.
"Why? Are you very concerned about him?" Shen Jing's icy cold gaze swept over immediately.
Lonemoon froze instantly and chose his side immediately. "N... No."
Shen Jing then turned and sat onto a sofa formed using a spell, took a sip of tea before answering, "Hmph! That bastard won't die for now."
"Sister, what exactly is a monitor?" Shen Ying also sat down and asked, "Why did Flower trick me into going to Void Land? What was the qualifications test that you mentioned?"
Shen Jing's brows instantly knitted together as she glanced at Shen Ying like she was a total letdown, her anger burning up instantly. "You're another one! Didn't you dislike him the most when you were young? Why did you go just because he told you to, have you got any brains?"
Shen Ying habitually became cowardly at once. "I was wrong!"
"Fortunately, the test wasn't really triggered this time, otherwise..." Her expression darkened, as if she was recalling something really dangerous, her hand tightened and the teacup in it turned into powder.
"Sister Jing." Lonemoon could not help but speak up. "Then what exactly is a monitor?"
Her eyes sank and she said slowly after a sigh. "Monitors are supervisors of plane management. People responsible for supervising and determining how to handle managers of each plane and their actions."
"Supervise managers!" All three of them were shocked at the same time.
"Why?" Shen Jing laughed. "Did you all think that managers were invincible?"
"..."
"Monitors are the only people who can pass through every plane without limit and will not be repelled by any. She continued to explain. "The capabilities of monitors are usually above managers. They're not responsible for the stability of planes, only examining the actions of managers."

"Planes cannot invade each other, managers can evict invaders to maintain the stability of the plane. But if the invader is also a manager, it becomes a whole other story." She frowned. "And managers exist mutually with their plane, if the plane isn't exterminated, the manager doesn't die. It's not that every plane faces invasion, but when they're tired of the long life, there will always be some who tries to stir trouble."
"The existence of monitors is to restrict such situations." Shen Jing explained, "If managers exist to maintain stability of the plane, then monitors exist to maintain the stability of managers."
"They're responsible for supervising and examining all managers and intervening when managers present actions of invasion. And also helping to select succeeding managers!" She turned her head to look towards the three. "Mi Le, is a monitor!"
Lonemoon and Yi Qing were both stunned!
What? That sissy!
"Sister." Whereas Shen Ying wasn't too surprised and looked to Shen Jing, asking, "How about you?"
Shen Jing faltered before chuckling. "Me too!"
"..."
