My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Shen Ying waved a hand, and immediately, many familiar-looking furniture appeared on the lawn. Several sofas, a tea table, and a cup of hot coffee upon it. She directly walked towards the largest sofa, and put Little Ying who was already asleep in her arms on it. Then she took out a white apparatus, and with a beeping sound, that apparatus flew up, letting out red lights, which swept over Shen Ying’s body. Instantly, lines and lines of data went across a light screen. It seemed to be examining something.

Yi Qing and Lonemoon exchanged a look, before walking to the opposite side of Shen Jing and started to sit down.

“Did I tell you to sit?” Shen Jing suddenly spoke. Her eyes glanced over, cold as ice.

The two shivered, got up immediately and stood properly beside the sofa.

Only then did Shen Jing draw back her sight. She took up the coffee on the sofa, drank it, while looking at the data beside her hand at the same time.

A creepy silence fell.

The two who were left aside looked at each other. Neither dared to make a sound. Big Boss Shen was being serious this time. If Little Ying didn’t use her own intrinsic weapon of cuteness just now, she’d really kill them. Now that Little Ying was asleep and had no support, she might really burst out once more if they annoyed her.

The two looked at each other for a long time. After a long while, Yi Qing finally couldn’t help it. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, “Senior Shen, I will be so bold as to ask, what happened to Master when she was young? Why would she think… think that she made Senior suffer.”

Only then did Shen Jing look up. Her icy cold glance swept towards them immediately, and then she looked back at the person on the sofa. Something flashed in her eyes. After a long moment of hesitation, she finally sighed and said, “Those were all from very long ago. Since you are the person that Shen Ying liked, you will be her man sooner or later. You should know about these matters indeed.” With that said, she put down the coffee in her hand, pointed at the sofa opposite her and said, “Sit.”

“Thanks, Senior!” Only then did Yi Qing walk over to sit down. Lonemoon beside him followed subconsciously, but at the glance of Shen Jing, his figure shivered and he went back standing.

Shen Jing took a deep breath. After a long while she said with a deep breath. “It started when I became a Manager. Shen Ying and I…” She turned back and patted Little Ying subconsciously, making a gesture for sending a child to sleep. “are actually twins.”

“What?” Lonemoon’s eyes opened abruptly. He answered subconsciously, “You two are related by blood? Wasn’t she a gift from your telephone company?”

“Master said she was picked up from the garbage bin.” Yi Qing also answered.

The corner of Shen Jing’s mouth twitched, and her ice-cold look turned towards them again, freezing the two instantly. “Are you blind? If she and I were not twins, how can we possibly look so alike?”

“…” Okay, you are the boss, whatever you say is right.

Only then did Shen Jing continue, “We were just ordinary people at first. But before we were born, I was chosen by the World Consciousness to be a Manager. At that time, the power belonged to a Manager went inside my body. I was just starting to have consciousness, and hadn’t started to sense my surroundings, so I instinctively started absorbing all energy around me, such that…” Her look darkened as though at the memory of something sad, before she continued, “such that I didn’t realize that Little Ying was beside me. So unknowingly, I sucked in even her vitality.”

The two’s hearts sank. Without vitality, wouldn’t it be impossible for Shen Ying to even be born?

“When I sensed it, it was already too late.” Shen Jing frowned, took up the coffee beside her, took a sip, before continuing, “I pleaded at the World Consciousness to seal her consciousness and last bit of vitality inside my body, for me to wake her when the time comes. World Consciousness agreed, and then I became the Manager of that world.”

“Then Master…” Yi Qing asked with some concern.

“I kept looking for ways to revive her but couldn’t find it. Later, I thought that her vitality was gone because of the power of a Manager, so maybe with the same power, I could return it to her. Indeed, her vitality was revived. But because it took so long, her consciousness which was sealed inside my body fell into sleep.” She took a deep breath. “I thought of many ways, but nothing could wake her consciousness. After 3000 years, during a plane intrusion, I was in a crisis. That was when her consciousness suddenly woke up and helped me chase off that intruder. After that, she finally was completely revived. I watched her grow up little by little.”

“And then?” Lonemoon couldn’t help but ask. Being the little sister of a Manager wouldn’t be so easy.

“The power of a Manager wasn’t what an ordinary person could bear.” She took up the coffee cup once more but realized that it was already empty. She frowned and put it back. “Because she had my power, she had the same aura as me. So intruders thought that she was the real Manager. Despite me watching over, in her early life, she was still kidnapped by various intruders who desired the power of the Manager. I wasn’t like what I am now, and I have already lost half of my power from the start, so the price for saving her was slightly high.”

“…” That was why Little Ying felt that she made Shen Jing suffer?

“When Little Ying was three, she knew about the matter of assistants from I didn’t know where. She suddenly said to me that she wanted to grow up quickly and be my assistant.” Shen Jing sighed and shook her head. “At that time, I thought it was just a momentary playful thought of hers. But from then on, she really never laughed at me once, never acted cute once, and even secretly lifted the seal which suppressed the Manager power on her, almost killing herself. Only then did I realize that she was serious. So when she was five, I agreed. But… to become an assistant, how could that be an easy matter.”

The two were stunned. They exchanged a look, and looked up at her together. Was it not easy? Shen Ying only gave them a little piece of paper back then!

As if knowing what they were thinking, Shen Jing gave them a only-idiots-like-you-think-a-piece-of-paper-makes-assistants look. “As an assistant, one must go through the testing of plane power, before he or she could qualify to be an assistant. And plane power only appear when crossing over planes. But crossing over planes forcefully is likely to cause one to get devoured by the void directly.”

“So we have also been through it?” Lonemoon was stunned momentarily, and then he thought about it. When Chef came to find them back then, he did forcefully cross through planes indeed. So that was the test? “But… I didn’t?” How did he become an assistant?

“That was because you were lucky that somebody protected you and let you cheat every time!” Shen Jing rolled her eyes. “You crossed over three times in total. In the first time, the void consciousness of this world risked its life to drag you over. In the second and third time, there was Little Ying to protect you, so you naturally were fine.” But that was still a forceful crossing of planes, because he didn’t have the permission to pass.

Lonemoon, “…” So he was the only one who cheated.

Never mind. At any rate, he cheated with his abilities.
