The smile that spread across Lonemoon's face as he patted the wall of the sect's storehouse was one of a satisfied profiteer . The storehouse was getting fuller and fuller by the day . Even the blow of Yi Qing's breakthrough to the rank of Exalted Immortal seemed much more bearable now . Feeling generous, he waved his hand airily and announced, "I hereby approve your request for a supper allowance . "

When Lonemoon did not hear the expected whoop of joy from a certain someone, he frowned and muttered, "What? Still not satisfied with supper…" He abruptly stopped in mid-sentence and turned to look at the person beside him .

He discovered that Shen Ying, who had been eating just a moment ago, was now sprawled on the table, fast asleep .

Good heavens! This foodie could even fall asleep while having her meal? Her sleeping skills had definitely advanced!

Thinking it a small matter, Lonemoon transmitted a voice message to Yi Qing in the kitchen to arrange for someone to take Shen Ying back to her room . Then he continued to work on his holy land development project . Recently, the cultivation of their disciples had risen very quickly . Most of them had formed immortal bones and become immortals . Even he himself had risen to the level of Mystic Immortal, due to his frequent entries into the demonic Qi . During this period, Xun Shu had also sent more than half of the immortal weapons over . It was a busy period for him .

However, he was surprised to learn that Shen Ying had still not awakened after sleeping for several days . And this was a foodie who never failed to turn up punctually at the dining hall at mealtimes . Even when her meals were brought into her room, she showed no response at all .

"Is Master all right?" A frowning Yi Qing looked worriedly at Shen Ying's bed room .

"What could possibly be wrong with her?" snorted Lonemoon rolling his eyes . After thinking for a while, he asked, "How long has she been like this?"

"Five days…"

"So long! Did she say anything to you before she slept?" Lazy Shen Ying might be, but dumb she was not; in fact she was even more quick-witted than the average person . She would definitely have given them hints had she discovered something amiss .

Yi Qing shook his head after thinking it over . "No!" There was nothing out of the ordinary in her behaviour that day .

"Then it should be fine . " Lonemoon let out a sigh of relief and said, "As you know, although she is lazy, she is actually as smart as a whip . She would not have kept quiet if something was wrong . Besides, didn't she once sleep for two whole days?"

"But I feel that this time Sect Master has been sleeping much too long . " Yu Hong stepped forward and suggested hesitantly, "Shall we… try waking her up?"

Yi Qing and Lonemoon mulled over her suggestion . It was a sound idea … but…

"Who's going to do it?"

Yi Qing: "…"

Lonemoon: "…"

Yu Hong: "…"

A while later…

"Ahem! Maybe she's just too tired…" Lonemoon gave an awkward laugh . "She went without sleep for several days when we were at Yu Feng Immortal City . She's making up for lost sleep… nothing unusual about it . "

I think…?

"But…" The trip to the immortal city was over half a year ago! Although Yu Hong had her doubts, she could think of no better explanation . Sect Master was so powerful, who could possibly set her up? Maybe she was… really to tired?

Yi Qing clenched his fists and gazed fixedly at the room . Then, he walked up to the door and pushed it open suddenly .

"Yi Qing!" exclaimed Lonemoon in shock, "Do you want to… die?"

Huh?

He scanned the room . Oddly, the person lying on the bed had not been aroused by the commotion . He could hear the faint sound of her breathing; it seemed she was sound asleep .

"Master, it's mealtime!" Yi Qing walked up to Shen Ying's bed and gave her a gentle shove .

There was no response from her .

"I cooked your favourite food… a.s.sorted meat dishes . "

"…"

"There's fried crab, steamed crab, immortal noodles…"

"…"

"Toad fish, Ba Dai fish, spicy wild hen…"

"…"

He went on to enumerate a whole list of dishes, but still failed to elicit a response from her . An inexplicable feeling of dread overwhelmed him . His head buzzed and his hands trembled . "Master…?"

It was then that Lonemoon realized something was not right . His expression changed . He strode quickly into the room and instructed an obviously panicking Yi Qing, "Quickly, check her pulse . "

Yi Qing calmed down a little and proceeded to use his immortal Qi to check her pulse . Everything seemed normal . He repeated the procedure a few times, but could find nothing wrong with her .

"How is it? What's wrong with this foodie?" asked Lonemoon .

"I… don't know," answered Yi Qing, shaking his head .

"How can it be? Let me take a look!" Lonemoon grabbed Shen Ying's hand from him to take her pulse . The expression on his face grew increasingly grim . He too could not find anything wrong with her . He gripped the flute in his hand in exasperation . He thought for a while, then turned to Yu Hong . "Yu Hong, go to Shang Dong immortal abode quickly . " Perhaps their cultivation was not strong enough to diagnose the problem . "Tell Xun Shu to come over . Say it's a matter of life and death… Forget it! I'll go instead . "

He was about to leave when Yi Qing said, "I'll go!" In a flash he was gone .

Fortunately, to facilitate the production of the immortal weapons, the Invincible Sect and Shang Dong Immortal Abode had already set up a transportation array between them . Within moments, Yi Qing was back with Xun Shu .

"Hey, why did you drag me here?" Xun Shu, who had been in the midst of weapon refinement, grumbled . "Don't blame me if this immortal sword breaks…"

Midway through his sentence, Xun Shu noticed the person sleeping soundly on her bed . Aghast, he struggled free from Yi Qing's grip and cowered behind the door . Through voice transmission, they could hear his trembling voice as he cursed them, "Hey, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Are you trying to get me killed!" I thought we were friends? Why did Yi Qing bring me to Shen Ying when they know she's sleeping? Haven't I suffered enough beatings from her?

"Don't worry!" Lonemoon a.s.sured Xun Shu, who had obviously not gotten over his mental trauma . "Come and tell us what's wrong with her?"

Xun Shu looked suspiciously at them, still afraid to step out from behind the door . Lonemoon had to repeatedly a.s.sure him and even yelled out a couple of times to convince him of Shen Ying's unresponsiveness before he slowly emerged from behind the door .

Taking a few deep breaths, Xun Shu checked Shen Ying's pulse briefly before quickly retracting his hand . Still maintaining his whispering tone, he said, "Her aura is calm, her pulse is stable . There's no abnormal signs . She's just sleeping . Why did you call me over?" To test my courage?

"Master has been asleep for five days . " Yi Qing explained .

"What? Can't be!" exclaimed Xun Shu . Suddenly a thought crossed his mind . Pressing his two fingers to Shen Ying's forehead, he transmitted a stream of immortal Qi inside to explore her divine perception . He found that it was totally empty . He cried out in surprise, "Could this be due to… the Soul Detachment Spell?"

"No!" Before anyone could speak, Xun Shu immediately dismissed this notion . "Her soul shows no signs of having left her body, how can it…"

"What Soul Detachment Spell?" asked Yi Qing anxiously .

"The Soul Detachment Spell is a type of soul controlling technique!" explained Xun Shu, "Soul controlling techniques can extract a person's soul but this Soul Detachment spell just causes the soul to leave the body . This is a weak spell, it causes its victim to fall into a deep sleep, but does no harm to his body . That's why most immortals have never heard of it . I only got to know of it from the ancient memories that I inherited from my ancestors . "

"You mean that someone cast this spell on Shen Ying?" asked Lonemoon .

"Very likely," replied Xun Shu, nodding, "The strange thing is that her soul has not left her, but a part of her divine perception is missing from her body . Someone must have cast a spell on her . Looks like you are in trouble . "

"…"

Everyone looked grim, especially Yi Qing, who gripped his fist tightly .

Shen Ying's divine perception, who was standing beside them all along: "…"

Er… Didn't anyone discover that she was only sleep walking?

The smile that spread across Lonemoons face as he patted the wall of the sects storehouse was one of a satisfied profiteer . The storehouse was getting fuller and fuller by the day . Even the blow of Yi Qings breakthrough to the rank of Exalted Immortal seemed much more bearable now .
