Chapter 100: A Mutual Exchange of Visits

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Thank you, Patriarch Yi, for your hospitality. The Yi Family is truly a great aristocratic family. I’ve benefited a lot from this visit.” A beaming Lonemoon saluted Yi Feng with cupped fists.

“Supremacy Lonemoon is too kind,” said Yi Feng returning the salute. “Sect Master Shen and you are the ones who have honored our Yi Family with your visit.” Yi Feng heart warmed towards her as he thought about the contract wyrm he gotten for free. Turning to Shen Ying, he said sincerely, “I won’t forget Sect Master Shen’s help.”

Although the method used terrified him a little, the rewards more than made up for it.

“You’re welcome,” said Shen Ying blithely. “We’ll come again.”

Yi Feng: “…” Come again!

(=@__@=)

“Then we’ll take our leave.” Lonemoon nodded in acknowledgement and even turned to smile at Yi Feng’s housekeeper.

But the housekeeper’s expression darkened, as if recalling something unpleasant.

Only then did Lonemoon summon his flying sword and left with Shen Ying.

Yi Feng and his house manager heaved a collective sigh of relief. They finally sent these two off. It was just three days, but they felt that their life span had shortened by ten years.

Huh?

Wait a moment!

“Spirit Master, where are you going?” We’re just sending them off, why are you flying off with them!

——————

“Fellow Daoist, do you have any other matters?” Lonemoon asked Bai Ze. They stopped at the transportation array and Lonemoon turned to glance at this oddball who had been following them. At first Lonemoon thought he was a disciple sent by the Yi Family to send them off but this seemed unlikely given the distance they covered. Moreover, he was unable to detect this man’s cultivation level.

“Furball?” Shen Ying turned her head and asked, “You have other matters to discuss with us?”

Bai Ze looked nonplussed. He seemed to have only just realized that he was outside the boundary of the Yi Family estate. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at her for a while, he blushed and turned his back to her.

Shen Ying: “…” Not this move again?

“Who’s he?” Lonemoon nudged her and whispered, “You know him?”

“He’s the furball reared by the Director. He said he has had it for thousands of years.” Shen Ying added as an afterthought, “It was originally a white-furred animal. We even went on the trip to the Mirage Sea together.”

“Spirit Beast?” asked Lonemoon, a little surprised. To be able to manifest, Spirit Beasts had to be at least at the eleventh level. “So why is he following us?”

“How would I know?” said Shen Ying shaking her head. “He has social phobia, doesn’t like to talk. Don’t tell me… he has a thing for seafood too?” She thought of the hoard of seafood in her bag.

“What seafood?”

“Father Niu.” Shen Ying did not answer his question. As if recalling something, she gave him a push and said, “Lend me your storage bag.”

“What for?”

“To store something.”

Lonemoon looked at her questioningly but nevertheless took out a storage bag beside him. After giving it some thought, he dug out a brand new green storage bag and passed it to her, saying,

“Here. Take.”.

Taking the bag from Lonemoon, Shen Ying in turn opened the blue bag that Bai Ze had given her, and fishing out a fish head that was even taller than a man, transferred it to the new storage bag. Whereupon she reached her hand into the blue bag again and fished out…

Shen Ying retrieved sections after sections of dead beast corpses from her bag. All the beasts had been bisected in two and came from a wide variety of species that were more comprehensive than could be found in any spirit beast encyclopedia.

Lonemoon: “…”

He had just taken his eyes off her for one day and look what she had done! Where did she get all these creatures?

(๑ŐдŐ)b

They were supposed to hunt for beasts but it seemed that she had been filling the sea with these creatures instead. Did she think she was Jing Wei 1 ?

Shen Ying kept at it for half an hour before finally stopping.

She passed the bag with half its original contents to Bai Ze and said, “Sorry, I forgot to divide the spoils.”

“…”

When Bai Ze showed no signs of taking the bag, she directly stuffed it into his hands and said, “You worked hard today. Take it! Don’t bother sending me off. Come visit Invincible Sect when you are free. Bye!”

With that, she pulled Father Niu with her into the transportation array.

Bai Ze, who had the bag of seafood forcibly stuffed at him: “…” He had not asked for this?

(⊙_⊙)

“By the way, Shen Ying, what’s this spirit beast called?” asked Lonemoon casually.

“I think he was called Bai… Bai…” Bai something or other. “I can’t remember. Anyway, he was white, had a long horn and looked like a tasty animal.”

“Oh.”

“And the Director called him Spirit Master.”

“Spirit… Master?” Lonemoon paused for a moment. Suddenly a thought struck him and he

almost fell off from his sword.

“Divine Beast Bai Ze!”

Holy shit. It can’t be, it’s way too soon!

——————

Yi Family, Myriad Beast Peak.

“Spirit Master,” Yi Feng bowed and saluted the man in front of him. “May I know what is it you have summoned me for?”

“Where’s the Invincible Sect?” Before Yi Feng could straighten up, he heard the familiar cool voice ask.

“Invincible Sect?” Surprised by his question, Yi Feng paused for a moment before answering, “I heard it’s… in the Demon Realm.”

“Lead the way.”

“Huh? Huh!” Lead where?

“She invited me for a visit,” Bai Ze answered gravely.

Yi Feng’s mouth twitched. He could not believe his ears. “Spirit Master… Didn’t they just leave?” It had only been an hour since they left. Even if they invited him, wasn’t this a little too soon?!

“We’ll leave in five minutes.” Not bothering to reply, Bai Ze turned and walked back to his cave.

“…”

What did he just hear? The Spirit Master actually wanted to visit the frightening Sect Master Shen. Was it because he was disturbed by the way she had defeated the beasts and wanted to win his pride back?

Yes, that could be it. Spirit Beasts were the most arrogant of species.

Hey, wait.

“Spirit Master, why are you carrying the Black Spirit Blossom? Didn’t you say that nobody was allowed to touch this holy artifact of your divine race?”

“It’s a gift!” Naturally I have to bring her a gift on my first visit.

“…”

You must be kidding me!

————

It took Shen Ying and Lonemoon five days of non-stop traveling before they finally arrived at Invincible Sect. Once at the palace, Shen Ying flopped herself down on a chair, utterly exhausted.

She had stayed at the Yi Family for two days but been on the road for half a month.

Shen Ying suddenly realized why everyone could fly in this world; it was because this world was really too big. She used up a few years of her exercise quota just on this one trip. And the key issue was… she had not had a good meal!

“Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon.” As Shen Ying was thinking of a way to get Father Niu to take her to the city for a meal, Yu Hong walked in with a red card in her hand. With a queer look on her face, she said, “This is… the Yi Family’s visiting card.”

Visiting card?

“A visiting card so soon? They are really in a hurry.” Lonemoon was a little taken aback. They had just arrived back to their sect. Thinking it was just the usual exchange of visits, he took the card from her but did not read it, his mind being preoccupied with the deal he concluded earlier. He instructed, “Write them a reply, say that our Invincible Sect is always ready to receive them.”

“No… No.” With an odd expression on her face, Yu Hong explained, “This card was not sent over by sorcery.”

“You mean the someone from the Yi Family actually came here with the message?” asked Lonemoon in surprise. This was quite an expression of sincerity. “They’re really courteous. Then tell him that they can pick a date and we’ll be happy to receive them.”

“No…” Yu Hong’s mouth twitched. “The Yi Family Patriarch is… already here.”

“They’re already on their way?” Lonemoon was even more surprised. “Did they have to be in such a hurry? In that case, inform Rabbit King to let them in when they arrive.”

“No, Elder Lonemoon.” Yu Hong hurriedly stepped forwards and pointed outside. “I mean they’re… already at the foot of the mountain.”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

What the hell?!

(*Φ皿Φ*)

Two pairs of accusing eyes immediately locked on a certain person…

“What are you looking at me for?” Lonemoon glared indignantly at them in return. “It was a legitimate business deal. I didn’t cheat them!”

“Oh…” *2

“…”

Oh, my foot! Stop giving me that accusing look!
