My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Shen Ying’s hands trembled as she read the words on the paper. It was taking every ounce of her willpower to stop herself from throwing the paper aside. She stared into blank space, face becoming red and then pale, and then greenish, and then purplish. In just a few seconds, she was completely cured of her long-term facial paralysis.

“Shen Ying?” Lonemoon nudged her as she stood rooted to the ground. “What’s going on? What does the letter say?” He could not help but step forward to look at what was written on the letter.

Shen Ying retracted her hands and heaved a long sigh. Then, her expression changed. She suddenly smiled warmly at the Godfiend. She fluttered her eyelids and sweetened her voice. “Mr Godfiend, may I ask if there’s any other way I can help you? Forget merging the two realms – even if you want to merge four, five, six, or seven realms with the Three Realms, I will help you! Would you like to give it a shot?”

The Godfiend: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

“No matter, you can take your time to think about it. Once you decide, you can leave it to me. You won’t even have to pay me.” Her tone took a hundred and eighty degree turn.

“Shen Ying, you must be crazy!” Lonemoon glared at her in disbelief. This was such a sudden change in attitude!

Shen Ying acted like she could not hear him and smiled even more brightly “Whether you want to move the world to save it, merge the realms or build walls, I’m professional about it all. Just tell me, don’t worry!”

“No… No, thank you!” The Godfiend looked slightly fearful. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? The woman who was smiling so brightly at him was really Shen Ying?

“Alright, no worries! Your satisfaction is my goal.” She fluttered her eyelids once more. She was just short of asking him if he wanted a kiss!

“Hey, hey, hey! Shen Ying…” Lonemoon reached out and touched her forehead with the back of his palm. “Are you crazy?”

Shen Ying slapped his hand away and glared at him coldly. “Get away!” She turned to the Godfiend and plastered a bright smile onto her face once more.

“Mr Godfiend, do you have anything else for us?”

“N- N- No.”

“Alright, then we’ll be off.” Shen Ying waved at him and said, “Take care, Mr Godfiend. Till we meet you again, Mr Godfiend.”

“Good.. bye?”

“Shen-” Lonemoon just started to say something when Shen Ying tugged at him.

The next thing he knew, she was picking up the fruit knife and stabbing the rift. She cut up a huge hole. Then, she picked up Chef in her left hand and Father Niu with her right, jumping into the hole without any hesitation. In a second, they were all gone.

The Godfiend: “…” Was I imagining all of that?

There was a blur before Lonemoon’s eyes. Then, he found that they were back in the demonic realm. Little Black’s eyes twinkled. He was just about to go toward them, but Shen Ying showed no signs of wanting to stop.

She shouted, “Let’s go home!” Then, she picked up the two of them and flew out of the demonic city in a flash. She did not stop until they flew out of the demonic realm and into the Bo Sea Heavenly Palace.

When they reached the rear hall, she kicked open the door and lay down on the floor like a dead dog. She panted for a long while before she finally calmed down.

A while later…

“Chef, nobody followed us, right?”

“N- N- No.”

“That’s good, that’s good!” That scared her.

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

What… in the world was going on?

Lonemoon saw that Shen Ying was still clutching the paper in her hands. He snatched it and read the letter. There was only one sentence written on it in neat penmanship.

Little Ying:

Go and help them out! If you don’t finish it, you’re dead!

Big Sister, Jing.

Jing?

“Your older sister wrote this letter?” Something clicked in Lonemoon’s mind. He finally figured something out. Instinctively, he asked, “Shen Ying, your older sister isn’t Shen-”

“No!” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying jumped up from her place on the floor and covered his mouth. She looked like she was going to burst into tears. “Father Niu! My dearest father. I’m begging you – don’t say that name! I want to live for a couple more years. I really do!” Just stop your rotten mouth from giving away our location, alright?

Σ(°△°|||)

“Mas… ter?” Not just Lonemoon, but Yi Qing was taken aback by her reaction.

Was she that scary? Looking at the way Shen Ying wanted to bury herself at the prospect of hearing her older sister’s name, the two of them really wanted to know what exactly her older sister did to Shen Ying.

“You must be kidding me, Shen Ying!” Lonemoon had never seen her act this way before. “I was just going to say her name. Do you have to overreact?”

“I have to, of course! What if she hears you?” It’s scary, alright?

“She can’t hear me.”

“No!” Shen Ying shook her head furiously and looked around. “My older sister’s ears are very sharp!”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing: “…”

Even if her ears are sharp, she wouldn’t be able to hear what they’re saying in an alternate world, right?

“This letter doesn’t say anything!” Lonemoon looked at the letter once again. “Why are you so afraid? She’s your older sister after all, she wouldn’t eat you up, would she?”

Shen Ying turned green. Awhile later, she heaved a long sigh. “Ah, you have no idea! My older sister is even scarier than a cannibal!”

“…”

“What kind of person is Master’s older sister?” Yi Qing could not help but ask.

Shen Ying subconsciously trembled. Her expression was twisted once again. “My older sister…”

“Wait!” Lonemoon pursed his lips and studied the two of them. “Before you tell your story, can we please come out from under the bed?”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

What the f*ck? You can hide under the bed by yourself – why must you drag the two of us along with you?

——————

An hour later.

“Master, have some tea to calm your nerves.” Yi Qing handed the cup of tea over.

Shen Ying was finally calm again. She gulped down a mouthful of tea and handed the empty cup back to Yi Qing. “I’ll have one more- No, three more cups!”

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He immediately snatched the cup from her hands. “That’s enough from you. What’re you doing! Can you talk now? What exactly is the problem? Why are you so scared of your older sister?”

Shen Ying’s hand trembled. She looked like she was resisting the urge to hide again. After looking around her, she sighed again and said, “You don’t understand!”

“Then help us understand!” Lonemoon could not contain his curiosity. What kind of person could cause the cheater Ying to be this afraid?

Shen Ying sat in silence, drinking a few cups of tea. She scanned the two people around her and finally resolved to speak. “Let me put it this way – all my skills now are a result of my sister’s demonic training.”

“What?” Lonemoon paused, recalling something. He jumped to his feet. “Your out-of-the-world powers were trained by your older sister?”

“Oh, no! I only got them after I transmigrated.” She shook her head. “Other than that.”

Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. He sat back down and rolled his eyes. “Other than your cheater powers, you have other skills?” Eating and sleeping?

“Hey… I do have some!” Shen Ying thought very seriously for awhile. “Like folding techniques, spatial control, spiritual development, third language skills, brain development, creativity…” She kept throwing these strange-sounding nouns out to them.

Lonemoon: “…”

What is all of this? He had never heard of these things before.

“What are you talking about?” This isn’t some kind of cult training, right?

“They’re very difficult!”

“Alright, what kind of achievements do you have from learning all of these things for so long?”

Shen Ying frowned. She counted with her fingers very seriously, and then replied, “I obtained more than ten qualifier medals. Do they count?”

“What?” What the hell? Were those awards granted by small district administrators?
