Lonemoon lowered his gaze and saw that deep wounds had indeed started to appear all over Chef’s body, as if something invincible was cutting into him. Bright red blood flowed out of the wounds and dyed Shen Ying’s top. Lonemoon saw Chef’s condition before. Given the conditions of this plane, he had no hope of recovering.

　　“I’m going to make a new body for him.” This is just a physical body. Given his powers, it would not be difficult to create a new one.

　　“No,” Shen Ying stopped him.

　　“Why not?”

　　“He already has the assistant’s seal on this body.” Shen Ying glanced at the black words surrounding the symbol. “If he’s in a body other than his own, the seal will be rejected.” And this seal could not be retracted.

　　“Rejected?” Lonemoon paused. Rejection of the body… Wouldn’t that mean…

　　“He’s going to become a Floaty?”

　　“Hmm.”

　　Shit! Shen Ying said before that she could only have two assistants and they could not be fired In other words, Shen Ying could not retract the seal on Yi Qing’s body.

　　“Then what should we do?”

　　“Actually, there’s another way to resolve this,” Godfiend said as he raised his hand.

　　“Speak, what other way is there?”

　　The Godfiend explained, “Only his body is injured. If he goes back to the mortal world and changes his body, he will be alright again.” The reincarnated body will belong to him.

　　“Isn’t that nonsense!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. Who didn’t know that? But…

　　“I’m not going!” Chef shouted. He grabbed Shen Ying’s hand. “If I reincarnate, I have to go through the River of Forgetfulness. I will forget everything and forget Master. If I don’t remember…” He turned pale, and his aura weakened. A few moments passed before he completed his sentence. “If I don’t remember, then… who’s going to cook for Master when she gets hungry?” What if she starves? What if nobody can cook food to her liking?

　　Lonemoon, “…”

　　Shen Ying, “…”

　　The Godfiend: “…”

　　Meng Po: “…”

　　Flips table!

　　(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻

　　Was cooking the most important thing! He was freaking going to collapse, yet all he could think about was cooking. How professional was he! Shen Ying wasn’t hiring him to be her assistant. Yi Qing was more like her personal nanny!

　　“Don’t you have any other solutions?” Lonemoon pursed his lips. Cooking aside, if Chef went through the River of Forgetfulness and forgot everything, would he still be the same Chef?

　　“Actually, you can… retain your memories,” the Godfiend suggested weakly.

　　“What do you mean?” Wasn’t it true that once a soul passed through the River of Forgetfulness, it would lose all its memories from its past life? How would it still retain memories?

　　“It’s just that Meng Po has to personally bring a part of him down to be reincarnated.” The Godfiend turned to Meng Po.

　　Meng Po started, as if suddenly recalling something. She nodded profusely. “That’s right, I can bring a part of him down. Then he would not have to go through the River of Forgetfulness and lose his memories.”

　　“There’s no need!” Shen Ying suddenly said. Everyone in the group turned to face her.

　　Shen Ying raised her arm to tap on the words and symbol in front of Yi Qing. The symbol and words immediately shot into Chef’s forehead, causing his entire body to glow with a white light. Slowly, the white light engulfed him.

　　“Master…” Yi Qing began to panic. He held onto Shen Ying’s arm.

　　“I will look for you!”

　　Shen Ying looked straight into Yi Qing’s eyes. His expression flickered, then he let go of her. A moment later, his body shrunk within the white light. Shen Ying raised her arm once again and Yi Qing flew far away that they could no longer see him.

　　“Where did you send him?” Lonemoon asked warily.

　　“Nowhere? I just sent a file back to the lower realm.”

　　“Huh?” What did she mean?

　　Shen Ying did not respond. Instead, she turned to face the Godfiend. “After this…” It was time to settle scores.

　　The Godfiend’s entire body became much heavier. A huge pressure filled the air all around him so that he could no longer resist it and fell to his knees. The Godfiend did not have a physical body, yet his figure twisted and writhed in pain. He looked like he was going to disappear before their eyes.

　　Shen Ying walked slowly toward him. With each step, the pressure around the Godfiend got heavier and heavier. Her voice was firm, and she no longer sounded as lazy as she normally did. Emphasising each word, she said, “Indeed, I would not feel settled before I beat you!”

　　“Wait, Boss…” the Godfiend began to beg for mercy. “I can explain. I did not know this would happen… Help!” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying swung her hand.

　　The entire divine realm echoed his terrifying scream.

　　Shen Ying was really angry this time. She showed no mercy at all. They heard the divine realm crack apart. As she continued to take her rage out on the Godfiend, his screams became louder and louder so that even the bystanders began to tear up.

　　So.. Lonemoon turned away, choosing not to look

　　╮(╯▽╰)╭

　　***

　　Shen Ying punished the Godfiend for over half an hour before she finally rested. She broke her own record. There was no more flesh left on the Godfiend. Nobody could use any technique to help him recover – they had no idea exactly what Shen Ying had done to him. All the Godfiend could do was continue lying on the floor, writhing and groaning in pain. This was the most suffering that the Godfiend had ever been through.

　　If not for the fact that Chef had already arrived at the lower realm, Shen Ying probably would not have stopped.

　　“Let’s go.” Shen Ying opened a passage and waved at Father Niu.

　　“Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon, how about I send the both of you there?” Meng Po hurriedly suggested after seeing what happened to the Godfiend. “I’m the most familiar with the lower realm. I can find Elder Yi Qing for you immediately.”

　　Lonemoon was just about to reply her when Shen Ying said, “No need.”

　　“But Sect Master…”

　　“Meng Po.” Meng Po was going to object but Shen Ying stopped her. “Don’t call me Sect Master anymore.”

　　“Huh?” Meng Po paused.

　　“I understand why you had to send us back the last time, but… I’m still mad.” Shen Ying looked seriously at Meng Po, the child she raised single handedly who chose to stand with the enemy. “So… you’re no longer Invincible Sect’s disciple.”

　　“…”

　　Once Shen Ying finished speaking, she turned and brought Father Niu into the lower realm.

　　They left behind a Meng Po whose face was completely drained of any colour. She stood where she was, as if she had lost her soul. She did not move for a long while.

　　Perhaps she had been standing there for too long. Godfiend, who was still lying on the ground, tugged at her sleeve. “Hey, are you alright?”

　　Meng Po remained where she was.

　　“What’s going on?”

　　“…” There was still no response. Then, he heard a splat. A drop of water fell onto the Godfiend’s arm.

　　“Eh? Why are you crying?”

　　It was then that Meng Po finally reacted. She fell down onto the ground and began wailing. “Wah… This is all your fault, all your fault, all your fault! I told you not to send Sect Master back, but you didn’t listen. You said it was for the benefit of the Three Realms… It’s all your fault – that’s why she’s angry with me!”

　　“You don’t have to be this devastated, do you? I didn’t know that she was the manager that Kai Tian found.”

　　“I don’t care! Return Sect Master to me, return her to me! Wah…” The more she spoke, the harder she cried, and the harder she hit the Godfiend.

　　“Wait, don’t hit me! Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

　　“Wah…”

　　“…” Why was everyone beating him!
