“That’s right!” Lonemoon suddenly thought about something. He asked, “How did Fatty get all that merit around his body?” Yu Cang and the others made use of all that merit to cheat the Heavenly Dao, didn’t they? “He even maintained all that merit in his body in every single lifetime.” How much merit did he collect? How was it that it could endure through so many lifetimes?
The master and disciple duo hesitated. A moment later, they both broke into innocent grins.
“I don’t know. Let’s not bother about these details. Father Niu, do you want any fruit?”
“Master’s right. Father Niu, do you want any pastries?”
Lonemoon’s expression darkened as he looked at them suspiciously. “Do you… have something you’re hiding from me?”
“No!” Both of them exclaimed at the same time. He had hit the nail on the head!
“Heh heh heh!” They were definitely hiding something from him!
Just as Lonemoon was about to drill them, the realm gates opened. Fatty’s body appeared inside of it. His immortal bones had formed, and the spirit Qi in his body had all turned into immortal Qi. Perhaps it was because immortal Qi was much richer than spirit Qi, Fatty’s body looked different now that his body contained the former instead of the latter. The most obvious change was that his body was no longer round. The 300kg Fatty had slimmed down in a blink of an eye.
He was fat not because he had a lot of meat, but because his body was filled with spirit Qi!
Lonemoon sighed and walked toward him. The welcoming beam of light disappeared. in front of Lonemoon stood a man who was half the size of Fatty, with an exceptionally familiar face…
Lonemoon halted as his eyes widened. He looked at the face that made his hair stand and his blood pressure rise. Immediately, he spread out the fan in his hands and shouted, “Godfiend!”
Holy shit!
He turned around and found that the master and disciple duo were gone.
Shit, he was going to kill those bastards!
Fatty, however, stared blankly at Lonemoon. Immediately, he ran toward Lonemoon, overjoyed. “Master, I’ve successfully asce-”
“Get lost!”
“Eh?”
“From now on, you’re out of my sect!”
“…” No, Master!

Father Niu’s fuse had been quite short lately. He seemed to always be resisting the urge to beat others up, especially the two wastrels. It was obvious that the two of them had figured out much earlier on that Fatty was the reincarnated version of the Godfiend. Yet, they kept this from him until Fatty ascended. They had gone overboard!
“Ahya, Father Niu, let’s not be caught up in these details, alright?” Shen Ying said as she gnawed on her fruit.
“That’s right, Father Niu. I only found out about this when I went to the bottom of the lotus river,” Yi Qing added.
“What’s more, Fatty is Fatty and the Godfiend is the Godfiend. They’re no longer the same person.”
“Master is right! Let’s leave the past in the past. Fatty can’t even remember what happened before anyway.”
Lonemoon looked at them with a cool, hard glare. “Get lost!” was all he said. Don’t think I’m going to waste another cent on either of you.
It was no wonder that he had such a special body. It was no wonder that he had so much merit in his bones despite the number of times he reincarnated. He was one of the creator gods, and he had protected the plane for so long. It was no wonder that he had accumulated so much merit. What’s more, he was the god who was in charge of the Heavenly Dao in the first place. There was nothing strange about the fact that the Heavenly Dao would find him shortcuts at every turn.
The logic was simple, but Lonemoon still felt angry!
Even though he knew Fatty was no longer one of the gods of creation, and even though he understood that Fatty was Fatty, Lonemoon still felt the urge to shove him back to the lower realm when he thought about the fact that this man whom he had spent years training was actually the same man who had cheated him countless times.
He was not going to care about this man any longer!
“Master…” Fatty, who did not have a clue what was happening, looked at him confused. Why was Master looking at him in such a scary manner all of a sudden? Although Master had always treated him rudely, it was never this bad. Now, it seemed that the anger was exaggerated. As long as Fatty spoke just a little too loudly, he would receive a death glare from Lonemoon.
Could it be that he had ascended wrongly? Did he leave something out along the way?
Fatty’s heart ached as he hugged himself in a corner. He had no choice but to shrink back in the corner of the immortal boat that he was on, afraid that Lonemoon would kick him off the boat if he made him too angry.
Maybe Fatty was under a lot of pressure. Apart from training in the corner he was in, he could not do much else. Just like that… he became fat again! In fact, he became even fatter than he used to be.
Shen Ying: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Without doing anything, he became fat again. Indeed, his horoscope was “ball”.
Perhaps he looked too different from the scheming Godfiend before. Lonemoon’s anger slowly dissipated, and he became less cold toward Fatty. At least, Fatty no longer felt like there was a possibility he would be kicked off the boat.
Fatty seemed to understand something as time went by. So Master was angry because he had lost so much weight? Did Master’s heart ache for him?
Suddenly, Fatty’s heart melted. He resolved to always remain this round so that Lonemoon would no longer have to worry for him. Fatty became less afraid of Lonemoon as time went by. No matter how frightening Lonemoon’s glare was, he would always look back with warmth and a twinkle in his eye.
It made Lonemoon so uncomfortable that each time Fatty looked at him, he would feel goosebumps raising all over his body. Could it be that he had beaten Fatty up until he suffered some sort of brain damage? Hmph! The Godfiend was indeed a pervert!
Fatty ascended to the East Tsui. Since he was not in a rush for time, the few of them sailed back to the Invincible Palace on the immortal boat for nine days. Although they had been in the lower realm for a couple of years, due to the difference in the way time worked on both realms, they had only been away from the immortal realm for about two days. The long journey was instead a result of delays they met along the way in the immortal realm.
Lonemoon wanted to hand Fatty over to Yu Hong. However, he discovered that Yu Hong had gone to another continent for business. Even Si Yu was nowhere to be found in the sect. When they retreated to the rear hall for some rest, they discovered that the yard was filled with so many different types of small animals that they could no longer see the front door. From time to time, they would hear the small animals wailing.
“What is this?!” Lonemoon’s expression darkened. “Who was keeping all of these small animals here? Why, why were these animals emanating blue God Power?”
These were… divine beasts!
(⊙_⊙)
“Exalted Goddess, you’re back.” Little Black bounced out from nowhere. He seemed to have more confidence after marrying Yu Hong. He no longer trembled upon seeing Shen Ying. Now, he glanced at the animals in the yard. As if reading the question in their minds, he explained, “Oh, these are gifts from a certain person called Hong Meng. He said they’re meant for you, Exalted Goddess.”
“Hong Meng?” Lonemoon paused. It was then that he recalled what happened in the other plane. Shen Ying had helped to establish that plane, so it was expected that Hong Meng would send gifts over from time to time. But he did not have to send this many gifts, did he? These animals amounted to several years’ worth of meals for Shen Ying.
“Ever since you left, he has been coming over to look for Exalted Goddess each morning,” Little Black continued. “He also brought more and more gifts with him each time, so… we now have this many.”
