The man continued in his own reverie, looking exasperatedly at Shen Ying . One second, he wanted to kill her; the next, he was unable to resist offering items to her, insisting that she accepted them . All this time, his black sword did not come within a metre of Shen Ying . Instead, a whole mountain of objects lay in front of her: immortal weapons, treasures, immortal talismans, immortal pills and even a couple of immortal fruits and plants .

Shen Ying confirmed that this man… was mental!

Until…

He ran out of things to offer and finally stopped his insane behaviour . Looking absolutely helpless, he sat down next to a tree . A few dried leaves fell and landed on him, but he did not even bother to sweep them away . He looked vastly different from the way he did a moment ago .

Out of nowhere, Shen Ying felt a sense of guilt .

"About this…"

"Grand-aunt . . I'm begging you not to come any closer . " Lan Hua looked like he was about to burst into tears . "I have even given you the clothes that I was wearing . What else can I offer?" If she took one more step toward him, he might have had to take his pants off .

He had not known that the good-heartedness in him was such a wastrel! He was already well on his way to becoming an immortal demon . The demonic Qi was supposed to turn him into a Skyfiend . Yet, this accident had to occur .

He must have been the only one in the entire realm who ended up like that while on the path to becoming a demon . How his heart hurt…

"Er…" Shen Ying frowned and glanced at the mountain of treasures in front of her . Then, she surveyed what was left of the demonic Qi . She felt another overwhelming rush of guilt . Sighing, she said, "Do you have immortal stones?"

Lan Hua: "…"

Who was the demon here?

The corners of Lan Hua's mouth twitched . He surrendered . He reached out and conjured a seal . Suddenly, a full storage back appeared in his hands . He threw it at Shen Ying . "Take it, take it! Take it all!" He has nothing left anyway .

"Thank you, Boss!" Shen Ying glanced at the bag and sn.i.g.g.e.red . "You might not know, but this fog was part of Father Niu's business . You can't take it all at will . You took in so much of it at that . Of course you'd have to pay for it . "

Thankfully, she was the one who found him . If it had been Father Niu…

She looked at the man who was sitting there in just his pants . Hmm, I'm rather kind! At least he still has his pants .

"…" Did he underpay her?

Shen Ying reached out for the robe he took off earlier and tossed it over .

"I don't need this . You can put it on, otherwise you might catch a cold . "

Lan Hua caught it . Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his chest . This was a familiar feeling . He felt a strange urge to take his pants off and toss it to Shen Ying, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed the embarra.s.sing urge .

This darned good-heartedness!

He sucked in a deep breath and successfully put his robes on . Keeping his eyes on the woman seated opposite him, he cautiously took a step back to ensure that there was a safe distance between them . He did not want to be affected by his good-heartedness anymore .

"Hey, who exactly…" He wanted to take the chance to clarify her ident.i.ty, but he suddenly felt strong immortal forces charging toward him . Among the forces, he sensed a particularly strong one which belonged to… a Young Emperor!

His expression changed . He did not think that there would be a Young Emperor not far away from him . He was too careless indeed . Given the situation he was in now, he could not afford to get into a fight with them .

He turned around to glare at the woman who was now buried in the mountain of immortal weapons . Lowering his voice, he warned, "Hey! If you don't want to die, don't tell anyone you saw me here . " He could not stop himself before he added, "Of course, I would never hurt you . "

d.a.m.n!

After he said this, his expression immediately became one of regret . Yet, he did not stick around to take back his words . In a flash, he disappeared from the field .

Shen Ying: "…"

Shen Ying looked at the mountain of items he left behind . Would it make a difference even if he did not leave, given that there was so much evidence of his presence?

Lonemoon and Yi Qing flew over at that moment .

"Master, I sensed some demonic Qi here . Did you…" Yi Qing's trailed off when he realised the mountain of immortal treasures in front of him . "Master, this…"

"Holy s.h.i.+t!" Lonemoon's expression was one of utter shock . "You've only been gone for 15 minutes . Whose treasure did you steal?"

"The mental hospital's . Do you believe me?"

"…"

"Cut the c.r.a.p . Quick, Chef, help… help me out . " She reached out from inside the mountain of items . "I'm buried in here and I can't come out . Radish is on my thigh . Quick, we're getting squashed . "

Yi Qing: "…"

Lonemoon: "…"

——————

As a trustworthy person, Shen Ying… did not utter a word to Father Niu about what happened at the bottom of the hill!

What a joke . They had suffered such substantial losses – she did not want it to be known that she had a part to play in it . Afterall, she did not know the stranger very well .

Lonemoon heard her explanation, sighed, and then retrieved the items on the floor . He did not seem affected . He just responded with a dull "Oh" .

Shen Ying stared blankly at him . She could not help but ask, "The demonic Qi is mostly gone . That's alright?" She thought Father Niu had said that the demonic Qi was the sect's special a.s.sets, and its selling point? Father Niu's reaction was not quite right .

"I was thinking of a way to get rid of the demonic Qi one of these days . " This saved him a great deal of trouble .

When he said that, even Yi Qing turned to look at him with his mouth ajar .

"Why?"

"This method of selling demonic Qi using spirit transmission talismans was not meant to last long," Lonemoon answered matter-of-factly . "From the beginning, the sense of mystery got our business going . But one of these days, someone was bound to discover our secret . "

He auctioned the talismans in order to keep the sense of mystery . As long as people were not able to guess that it was demonic Qi, the talismans would sell . But people weren't silly . The more talismans sold, the greater the chances that people would discuss this mysterious place . It was only a matter of time before they discovered that it was filled with demonic Qi . That was why he had stopped working with Shu Jiang since six months ago .

What's more, all of the sect's disciples had already become Earth Immortals, apart from Xuan Tong . With Yi Qing, the Young Emperor, around, they did not need to fear anything unless the ten Celestial Emperors came knocking on their door . Of course, that was not even taking into account the fact that they had the cheat, Shen Ying .

I have already discussed with Celestial Emperors Blackbird and Biao Ting about the immortal herbs . Before long, the first batch of immortal herb seeds will arrive," Lonemoon continued . "Oh yes, please clear the vegetables you have in the rear mountain . Stop wasting s.p.a.ce and growing those useless plants . In future, get Radish to plant the immortal herbs from the Heavens beyond Heaven . We have already discussed our avenues of sales . "

Yi Qing: "…"

Shen Ying: "…"

When did he discuss all of this? Why don't we know anything about it?

Shen Ying immediately regretted handing all the immortal stones over to him . She should have kept some for her own benefit!

——————

Lonemoon had not thought that Bao Feiping would appear at his doorstep before the two Celestial Emperors even arrived . His cultivation level had increased by a fair bit – he was now a Stygian Immortal . When he saw Lonemoon's and Yi Qing's cultivation level, he was not at all surprised . It was as if he had known all along .

He bowed at them and smiled a little too broadly . For some reason, there seemed to be something missing from the innocent City Lord Bao who was only worried about his son . There was a certain arrogance about him . He reached out and handed a golden card over to Lonemoon .

"The Mystic Spirits and Immortals Meeting?" Lonemoon frowned and set down the card in his hand . He looked at Bao Feiping and asked, "This is…"

"This is an invitation extended by the Celestial Emperor himself . He specifically instructed that there would be an immortals meeting in the Heaven beyond Heavens in half a month . He also invited your honourable sect to attend the meeting," Bao Feiping said, grinning even wider .

"…"
