Chapter 298: Hiring an Assistant

“Boss, we have been waiting for you for a long time. You are finally here.” The Godfiend who finally understood what was going on looked at Shen Ying with his eyes twinkling. He no longer had a fake smile plastered on his face. Instead, he looked absolutely obedient.

Lonemoon pursed his lips. Waiting my ass. He was the one who kicked them back to the plane they came from.

“Sect Master, I knew you were different from others.” Meng Po, who had been dragged down by Godfiend, gazed at Shen Ying excitedly.

“Boss, I was blind to not have been able to recognise you earlier. From this day forward, we will fight to the death to create a harmonious and perfect Three Realms.”

“Sect Master, under your leadership, the Three Realms will surely get better and better.”

“Boss, may all the living spirits on the Three Realms become one.”

“Sect Master, may the plane continue to boast in glory from now until forever.”

Shen Ying, “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Lonemoon, “...”

Enough, the two of you ancient gods only got where you are by bootlicking others, isn’t it!

“Shen Ying!” Lonemoon nudged the woman next to her. “Didn’t Shen Jing say that you’re supposed to subdue this plane before you become its manager? You should know how to operate this plane, right?”

“Huh?” Shen Ying paused just before she bit down on the fruit in her hand. Without any pressure from Shen Jing, the lazy Shen Ying was back once again.

“What huh? You can start now!” She would only be able to open the gates to the plane if she subdued the plane. What’s more, according to Shen Jing, it would be extremely dangerous to attempt to do so. It was only reasonable that Lonemoon felt extremely anxious.

“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded. She walked forward lazily and closed her eyes. Within two seconds, she opened her eyes again and declared, “It’s done!”

“... What? That’s it?” Didn’t Shen Jing say there would be danger? Didn’t she warn them to be careful?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded.

That was way too fast. There was no lightning and no special effects. Shouldn’t there at least have been a contract for her to sign? Why was it so easy to take control of this plane? Were there no standard procedures in place at all?

“That’s right!” Shen Ying exclaimed, as if recalling something. She turned to the Godfiend. “Do you have paper and pen?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The Godfiend immediately nodded, causing his head to move as fast as a woodpecker’s. Immediately, a table and chair appeared before their eyes. He smiled brightly and said, “Boss, please.”

Shen Ying sat down and picked up the brush on the table. She began to write with it. A moment later, she picked up the piece of paper and asked, “Give?”

“What’s this?” Lonemoon took hold of it.

“Proof that you and Chef are my assistants!”

Lonemoon paused and looked closely at the paper. Then, he managed to read what was written on it.

[This order proves that Father Niu has been honourably designated as assistant manager of <Q23333 Immortal Cultivator Plane>. By order of the committee of managers, * year, * month, * day]

( ???;)

What the hell? Was it so easy to designate an assistant manager? Just a piece of paper did the trick? What’s more, the handwriting on the paper was almost illegible. If this woman did not know how to use a brush, why did she not just retrieve a pen? And why did an “official document” refer to him as freaking Father Niu!

Lonemoon was dangerously close to vomiting blood. The next moment, the paper in his hand lit up, and the light slowly spread around his body. He felt a chill shoot through his body and a strange symbol floated toward him. It was an inverted 8. Before he could make out what it was, the handwriting from the paper also began to float, as if it had come alive. They surrounded the inverted 8 and closed in around it. The inverted 8 seemed to explode between the words. Then, everything disappeared.

Lonemoon’s body relaxed. He could not comprehend what just happened, yet some strange connection that had been pulling against his body seemed to break. He found that the immortal Qi in his body was flowing out steadily, and his cultivation level was also dropping. As he lost his Young Emperor cultivation, he realised the immortal Qi remaining in his body was insufficient for him to even train.

He clenched his fists. Far from feeling like a mortal, he felt... invincible! He felt like all 3000 worlds were within his reach. Even the Godfiend and Meng Po, who seemed immeasurably strong earlier, seemed to become weaker before his very eyes. They seemed almost as weak as babies now.

All except... Shen Ying, who was still looking at him lazily, looked like a mere mortal. For some reason, he felt like he would be unbeatable.

Was this how it felt to be an assistant manager? He felt like the equivalent of a General Manager in his company.

Lonemoon’s heart jumped. He turned to look at Yi Qing, who was also holding onto a piece of paper. “Chef, you...” Lonemoon trailed off mid-sentence and his eyes widened. “Holy shit!”

Yi Qing did not look as relaxed as Lonemoon did earlier. Instead, Chef looked extremely pale. He was even breaking out in a cold sweat. There were many symbols floating all around him, but Shen Ying’s ugly handwriting continued to float next to all of those symbols, not breaking any one of them. As time went by, Chef looked more and more sickly. He began to sway and lose balance..

“Chef!” Shen Ying reached out and caught him just in time. Her expression hardened as she saw the countless symbols floating all around him. Turning to the Godfiend, she asked, “What did you do to him?” These were the limits this plane was placing on Yi Qing.

The Godfiend tensed up as his legs turned to jelly. He fell to his knees and said, “Boss, this... this has nothing to do with me. He was the one who chose to transmigrate earlier. I could not stop him.”

“Sect Master,” Meng Po interjected. “When Elder Yi Qing transmigrated to look for you, he used all of his cultivation to open the plane gates. Now, his body is close to the breaking point. It is no wonder that he is unable to withstand the sealing as assistant manager.”

“What!” Lonemoon exclaimed in disbelief. “He transmigrated on his own! Isn’t it only the Godfiend who can open the plane gates?”

“I... Even we don’t have the power to open the plane gates as and when we want to,” the Godfiend answered. Otherwise, he would not have waited so long before sending Shen Ying and Lonemoon back to where they came from. “What’s more, there’s a manager in that plane.” He had already used all his powers to ensure that he would not be discovered.

“But Shen Ying already healed him earlier.” Chef did look close to death when they first saw him after he transmigrated. But Shen Ying had already used her special healing techniques to heal him. On the planet of death, Yi Qing also managed to transform into a phoenix. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him. What was happening to him now?

“This is caused by him being in a different plane. He was not from there,” the Godfiend continued. “There was no manager in this plane before you arrived. That is why although you healed Yi Qing in the other plane, he reverted to the state he was in before he left here.”
