“What’s the matter? Why are there two both immortal and spirit Qis coming out of this realm gate?” Lonemoon was evidently confused. Suddenly, he thought about something and his eyes widened. “Could it be that realm beyond realms the last time?” When they were stuck with Meng Hong and the others earlier in that little realm, there were also both of these Qis present.
“I don’t think so,” Yi Qing responded. He studied the spirit Qi coming from the realm gate closer and said in a low voice, “This immortal Qi seems weak. I think it was the remnant immortal Qi from the immortal spring that formed earlier. I don’t think that the small world behind this realm gate contains any immortal Qi.”
Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief and frowned. “Whatever it is, I’m sure that it’s a trap left behind by that brat, the Godfiend. For all we know, something behind that gate is awaiting us.” He activated his assistant seal and used his investigation technique, only to find that his immortal Qi disappeared the moment it slipped behind the realm gate. There was no way of finding out where this gate led. to
“Eh! How can this be?” He looked shocked. “There’s no way I can find out where this realm gate leads to? Chef, when you opened the realm gate, did you find anything weird?”
Yi Qing shook his head. “No, the circumstances are the same as when other realm gates are opened.”
“Then where exactly does this gate lead to?”
“It seems like we would not know where it leads to until we enter it!” Lonemoon looked at the exceptional realm gate once again and his expression darkened. He glanced worriedly at Shen Ying. “Shen Ying, do you want to come along with us? Although this isn’t as serious as having an invader in our plane, you have not completely recovered your strength...”
Shen Ying looked at him. Was he worried about her? He was quite a good assistant – this was worth some praise.
“You’re all so confident despite having such low intellect. Do you think I would be as reckless as the two of you and have no means of self protection?”
Don’t worry, I will protect you!

Lonemoon, “...”
Yi Qing: “...”
She could just say she wanted to go with them – why did she have to make a personal attack?
The both of them frowned. If she did this to them daily, they were bound to get used to it one day.
╮(╯_╰)╭
Yu Hong and the other disciples had finished packing up by then. “Sect Master, Elders, we’re ready.”
Eh? What’s that? Yu Hong looked at the realm gate, which suddenly appeared in the middle of the space, with a little shock in her expression. Yet, she did not ask any questions. In any case, Sect Master always had a reason for doing what she did. “Are we... setting off for the heavenly palace now?”
“No, Yu Hong, you and Lan Hua should go ahead and lead the other disciples back first.” Lonemoon handed the high-key rainbow bird from earlier on to her and instructed, “We have some matters to attend to. We will join you as soon as we can.”
“Alright.” Yu Hong nodded. She received the dharmic artifact without any hesitation. Then, she turned to help the disciples up the bird’s back before going on their way.
“Come back soon!” Boss Lan waved to them. He continued trying to get close to Yu Hong, pestering her and saying sweet-nothing to her. Mm, afterall, they took a significant amount of resources for weapon refinement from Little Black. “Little Red, why don’t you see Little Black for awhile? Just awhile?”
“Get lost! If you say one more sentence, I will kick you off this bird’s back!”
Lan Hua, the lowest ranking guest of Invincible Sect: “...”
“Let’s go!” Lonemoon waved his hand at the master and disciple, who were standing closer to the realm gate than he was. He instructed them, “Chef, keep a close watch on her! Don’t let her get lost inside.”
Yi Qing immediately remembered Shen Ying’s record of getting lost and nodded. Thus, he turned around and grabbed Shen Ying’s hand out of habit. “Master, be careful.”
Shen Ying stiffened. She felt a warmth around her hand, which traveled up her arm and straight to the innermost portion of her heart. Even her face began to feel warm. Was this... this... considered hand holding?
“Hmph! How unnecessary!” It was common for people in relation to hold... hold hands! Mm, she was not bothered at all!
o(*つ////_////⊂*)o
“Alright, let’s go, let’s go,” Lonemoon rushed them. He set up a defensive array around the group of three. “If it’s really as Shen Ying said, and this immortal spring really has strange data, then there must be something wrong with that small world,” he said as he set up the array. Then, he added, “But Let’s hope that this small world will not be like that realm beyond realms, which caused Shen Ying to go into that deep sleep.”
The moment he said that, Shen Ying halted. She was just about to enter the realm gate, but she stopped just a step away from it, pulling Yi Qing back as a result.
Lonemoon stopped himself just before he bumped into her. “Holy shit, why did the both of you stop here?”
Shen Ying’s expression was still cold and hard as she turned to face him. “I’m not going anymore!”
“Huh? Ah!” Not only Lonemoon, but even Yi Qing stared blankly at her. “Why?” Why was she pulling this trick at the last minute?
“Master, have you sensed something out of the ordinary?”
Lonemoon’s chest tighten as he began to feel more nervous. “What did you notice?”
Shen Ying frowned even more deeply. She looked like she was having difficulty figuring out how to say what she wanted to say next. Mm, her assistants were very inquisitive! She had to make the effort to persuade them.
“Because...” She took a deep breath and looked at Father Niu, saying in an uncharacteristically strict fashion, “You just jinxed me, saying that I would definitely run into some kind of trouble if I step through this door. So I’ve decided not to go!”
Lonemoon, “...”
Yi Qing: “...”
What kind of rubbish was that? Did she have to be so childish!
Shen Ying, on the other hand, had already pulled out her screen. She was furiously tapping on it. Just like that, the realm gate closed. Hmph! Be it in movies or dramas, this was always how the main character died! She cherished her life – she was going to steer clear of such jinxes!
“Wait, did you not say that there were problems with the data?” Lonemoon was beginning to get extremely frustrated. He was wrong. This venomous Shen Ying was more unreliable than the lazy Shen Ying from before. “If we don’t go inside, how would we know what the problem is?”
Shen Ying raised her head and looked at him. Mm, this was a good question. As the manager, it was time for her to teach the newbies the many methods of solving a problem.
“Who says we cannot still investigate?” She said icily. “If you don’t have knowledge, at least use your common sense. If you don’t have common sense, at least depend on your memories! Use your small brain to think hard – What’s the correct process of dealing with and controlling small worlds?”
What freaking correct process?
The two of them stared blankly back at her. Finally, they thought of the answer. Could it be...
“The divine realm!”
“You’re not that hopeless after all!” Shen Ying nodded. Daily compliments – check!
That’s right – if they wanted to find out where this extraordinary realm gate led to, all they had to do was go to skies of the divine realm and take a look.
“Let’s go right now!” Lonemoon immediately cracked open the space next to him, opening a passage that led to the divine realm.
In a blink of an eye, the three of them had arrived at the expansive skies in the divine realm.
Lonemoon scanned his surroundings, taking in the dense stars. “Shen Ying, quick, look and see exactly which small world it is!”
Shen Ying was just about to pull out her screen when she paused. Thinking of something, she addressed the two of them and said, “Can’t you find it?”
“Wouldn’t this save much more time?” Lonemoon raised his hand and said, “I’m not very familiar with the way this wristband works. What’s more, this is your divine realm.”
“Who says you need to use the wristband to look for it?” Shen Ying looked at them strangely. “This is technology of a totally different plane. It has nothing to do with this realm. I use it only because I’m used to it. You’re basically...” She trailed off, finally understanding something. Looking at each of them, she said, “Don’t tell me... You have no idea about an assistant’s authorities?”
“...”
What?
