The sky seemed to have darkened. They were in a valley already. The dark clouds and the huge winds made everything around them seem pitch black as the air thickened.

They did not have time to react when they saw a purple flash of lightning strike the center of Blackie’s forehead. The next moment, a red graphic appeared in between his eyebrow. It looked just like the image carved onto the jade token.

“It really is the seal of the Godfiend!” Lonemoon exclaimed. He had never thought that such a lame chant would be able to activate the seal of the Godfiend. Was it true then that as long as one was at least a Celestial Emperor, they would be able to obtain the seal?

Blackie subconsciously touched his forehead and surveyed the rest of his body. Fortunately, he was not missing any limbs or meridians. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Shen Ying saying, “Exalted Goddess, I didn’t-”

“Master, your dumplings are done.” Yi Qing interrupted, presenting a bundle of dumplings to Shen Ying.

Did he have to be so quick? He was doing this on purpose – he must have been!

O(≧口≦)O

“Exalted Goddess, you’ve just eaten pastries. You’ll bloat if you eat this now. Do you want to have it later?” He asked with a serious expression.

“Master, I’ve prepared your spirit tea.” Yi Qing served it.

“...”

“Exalted Goddess, pastries and dumplings are so dry. They’re going to dehydrate you if you have them together,” Blackie tried again.

“Master, I’ve cut some fruits.” Yi Qing served fruits.

“...”

“Exalted Goddess, look at the dumplings. They’re wrapped so well. They definitely need to be cooked for awhile longer – why don’t you have something sweet first?”

“Water Negation Deviant Fire Art. Master, it’s done.” Yi Qing handed the dumplings over.

“...”

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Flips table! Was he not going to allow Blackie to become a demon!

Yi Qing: Nobody can doubt my professionalism!

“Exalted Goddess!” Blackie squatted on the floor and began to wail as loudly as thunder , “Betraying the Godfiend is a very serious matter and the consequences will be dire. Why don’t you reconsider-”

Burp¬

Shen Ying, who had just finished the dumpling, asked, “What are you saying?”

Little Black: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Everyone: “...”

Crash!

The black clouds that had dissipated gathered once again, blacker than before. A white string of light appeared in the sky and there was a faint red lightning flashing intermittently. All around them, the wind became stronger, running through the entire demon city so that even the grounds began to shake. The others were fine, but Blackie and Zhan Ting seemed to sense something. They fell to their knees.

Suddenly, something bright red flashed past them. The sky seemed to break apart and a blinding red flash of lightning struck down toward where Blackie was kneeling.

“The divine punishment!” Blackie became instantly pale. The suppression coming from the red light caused him to be unable to even lift up his head. Even the demonic spirit within him was stirring. His heart seemed to stop. All he did was go back on the contract – the divine punishment was way too severe for such a matter! He watched as the divine lightning headed toward him. Instinctively, he turned to Shen Ying and cried, “Exalted Goddess, I-”

“Move!” Before he could finish, he felt something tighten on his shoulder. Shen Ying reached out and carried him out of reach of the lightning bolt.

Immediately, there was a huge crash. The red deviant lightning exploded on Shen Ying. Blackie’s ten plus arrays all fell apart and the ground lit up in the same bright red of the lightning bolt. Shen Ying stood amid the red light, looking up at the dark sky.

“Master!” Yi Qing stepped forward, anxious. Seeing that she was unhurt, he sighed in relief. “That divine lightning-”

“Move!” Shen Ying shouted, cutting him off. Nobody had time to react. They looked up and saw two more bolts of deviant lightning overhead. It was travelling at the speed of light toward the entire group.

“Holy shit!” Lonemoon jumped. The lightning seemed to be coming from nowhere. Nobody could do anything about it. What was going on? Was the Godfiend blind? It was Blackie who should be punished – why was it attacking them?

“Chef...” Shen Ying was just about to pull him aside when she sensed something. She retracted her hand.

Huh?

The next moment, the red light burst forth and covered the entire courtyard and the lightning bolts struck the ground, one after another, bringing with them a suppression that seemed great enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

What was strange was...

“Eh? I’m fine!” Blackie patted his body and realised that there was not a single scratch on him. He hurriedly tested out his demonic Qi. His cultivation, spirit and even meridians were perfectly unharmed. How could this be? This was obviously the lightning of divine punishment, that was supposed to be even scarier than the lightning tribulation. Yet, he came out of it unscathed. “Exalted Goddess, what exactly... Eh! Exalted Goddess? Where’s the Exalted Goddess?”

He looked around him and found that Shen Ying was nowhere to be seen.

“What’s the matter?”

“Not just her!” Zhan Ting said. “Even the other two immortal cultivators are missing.”

“...” What’s going on?

They were on the surface of a water body that did not seem to end. Everything was calm on the water surface. It was acting like a mirror for the sky, reflecting every single white cloud and the blue of the sky. A man in black robes was standing between the heaven and the sky. He had long hair that reached the ground, and he had a stern stance. He did not look as powerful as the highest-level cultivators in the demonic or immortal realms. Instead, he looked quite average. At best, he was gentlemanly. On his average looking face, his red eyes were what caught their attention. He was grinning. Beneath his feet, there were red lotus flowers that made it look just like he was standing on fire. He was very normal, yet he gave them the impression that he was extremely demonic.

“You wanted to see me?” He suddenly asked. His voice sounded ethereal, echoing throughout the entire place. “Shen Ying.”

“Mm,” Shen Ying nodded. She did not even look flustered even though she had just been dragged to an entirely new realm. “Godfiend?”

The man did not seem to notice that she was especially calm. He nodded curtly. Then, smiling somewhat kindly, he said, “Yes, I am the Godfiend.”

“Where are Chef and Father Niu?” She searched around her.

The Godfiend glanced at her, then raised his hand toward her. Suddenly, the water began to stir. An image appeared just beneath the surface. There were two huge lotus flowers. Lonemoon and Yi Qing were lying in one lotus flower each, looking like they were in a deep sleep.

“This is my divine abode. The bodies of the three realms are not able to withstand the divine suppression they experience here, that’s why they’re in a deep sleep,” he explained. He faced her. “Except for you.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying scanned the two bodies in the lotus flowers. She sat down on the water surface, crossing her legs and eating her fruit. “I have a few questions to ask you..”

“What do you want to know/?”

“Were you the one who gave Hui Ling that jade ornament?”

“Yes!”

“Was it your idea to merge the immortal and demonic realms?”

“Yes!”

“Were you the one who prepared that book that Father Niu had?”

“.... That’s right.”

“You were the one who transmigrated us to this world.”

“... Yes, basically.”

“Then I have one last question for you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Is it illegal for me to beat you up now?”

“...”

“I want to beat you until you’re not even able to take care of yourself.”

“...”

The Godfiend smiled faintly at her, then sighed. “Shen Ying, I know that your situation is special, but this is my divine abode. I am the god that created the three realms. You cannot hurt me.”

“Really?” Shen Ying tilted her head. She drew a fruit knife from out of nowhere and waved it at the water body. There was a whipping sound and a white scratch appeared on the surface. It looked like a crack on a mirror. “Do you want to try me?”

The Godfiend: “...”
