“Shut up!” If you continue to go on, you will feel even colder, have you got any idea how hard I am working to hold him back? “Shen Ying already has a Dao partner, don't even think about it!”

“She already has a Dao partner!” Zuo Shuming was shocked, a hint of regret flashed across his face, but he'd only seen her a few times, so there wasn't too much disappointment. Sighing, he said, “Someone who is worthy of Miss Shen, I guess he must be extremely outstanding.”

“…” Not only is he outstanding, he can even cut you down with a sword! The kind he holds against your neck.

Chef listen to me and put the sword away. Shen Ying was still sleeping in the room, if she was disturbed and woken up, Gui Yi Sect will be wiped out!

Yi Qing's expression turned colder. A while later, he then slowly lowered the sword in his hand, the invisible sword array in the air was also retracted as he glared at the little b*tch opposite again. Sneering coldly, he turned and walked deeper into the room, the icy air around him was blasting, even the door was slammed open and shocked Zuo Shuming.

“Huh? The wind is rising?”

Lonemoon: “…” No, someone is about to go crazy! Chef be gentler, Shen Ying might not be up yet!

Yet Yi Qing stomped angrily into the room, heading in the direction of the bed and suddenly bent down to hug a certain person who was sitting at the head of the bed, munching on a fruit. He buried his head into her hair, his entire being radiating an aura of grievance.

Shen Ying who was suddenly hugged: “…”

What's the matter? Lost to Father Niu in an argument?

How many months of food allowance was deducted that he looked so aggrieved?

Ever since being driven away by Zuo Shuming last time, Shu Yi never came again. She'd probably given up on the route of tormenting both his body and heart and turned to focus on just physical tormenting. Lonemoon released his divine perception for a sense and found that she'd indeed been in training in isolation all these time. In just a few days' time, she'd already perfected Foundation Establishment and was about to enter core formation.

He calculated carefully, her core formation would happen soon. On the contrary, there'd been no change Zuo Shuming's cultivation ever since he entered Foundation Establishment. Though he'd been working hard with the sword in recent days and was so very diligent in learning the sword dharma, his cultivation just wouldn't grow. Although his speed wasn't considered slow for a triple spirit root, he was slightly less now, compared to the invader.

“Could it be that that scale of Scoop's is really so special?” Lonemoon frowned, slightly confused.

“No matter how weak Scoop is, he's still a Celestial Emperor!” Yi Qing said in a low voice. “A scale that fell off his true form is naturally special to the Lower realm.” What's more, that was a heart-protecting scale.

“But no matter how special it was, it's just a piece of scale.” Lonemoon still couldn't figure it out. “And it has fallen off for so many years, it would already be wonderful if it could be made into an immortal artifact, since when did it become beneficial to cultivation too?”

Yi Qing shook his head. “I'm not sure either.”

“Why don't we get a piece from Scoop and study it.” Lonemoon suggested.

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Are you a devil?

“It's set then!” Each time he heard the broadcasting station of that invader boasting about how good and how great and how wonderful the effect of that scale was, it made him displeased! Wasn't it just Scoop's scale? Did she think they didn't have one too?

Hence he brought out the communicating jade token, at the thought that this was the lower realm, he added an array formation on it then sent a trace of immortal qi in. The next second, Scoop's image appeared before them.

“Young Lord Lonemoon!” Scoop's voice sounded, coupled with some excitement. “Have you found my heart-protecting scale!”

“Well, we did…”

“Really! I'm so thankful, especially thankful to Exalted G.o.ddess! I finally…”

“But we cannot get it back for now.” Lonemoon's tune changed.

“Ah? Ah!” Scoop's smile froze, what did that mean?

“The situation is a little complicated, I cannot explain it fully to you in a few words. We need to know exactly what's special about your scale in the lower realm. So we decided…” Lonemoon coughed and said in all seriousness, “To get you to pull out another piece for us to study!”

“What did you say? Pull… pull out another piece?” Its eyes were round and wide as it shot to its feet.

“Yes, this is Shen Ying's idea!” Lonemoon suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Ying over to face Scoop's image.

Shen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!

“…” Scoop was instantly stumped, he instinctively s.h.i.+vered and instantly shrunk back, his entire face twisted into a miserable look, like he was about to break out in tears. “Su… sure Exalted G.o.ddess; no… no problem Exalted G.o.ddess!”

“Oh yes!” Lonemoon then added, “It'll be best if it's a scale from your chest!”

“…” Are you a devil?

Scoop's expression became even wretched, turning back into its true form, it stretched out a claw with tears pooling. Gritting its teeth, it pulled out a heart-shaped scale from its chest. “Will this do?”

“Hmm…” Lonemoon looked at the scale. “Is this piece smaller than the previous one, why don't you…”

“Young Lord Lonemoon, I really cannot pull out anymore!” Scoop said slowly, emphasizing each word, any more and it'll become a pink monster!

“Alright!” Lonemoon then nodded reluctantly. Turning, he nudged Chef. “Open a door and bring the scale over.”

Chef looked at him complicated before waving his hand and opening a small realm gate that led right to Scoop's hand.

In the next moment, a piece of scale that still had remnants of a b.l.o.o.d.y red on its edges appeared on the table.

“Young Lord Lonemoon, Exalted G.o.ddess, remember to bring my scales back, a total of two pieces! Don't miss out any.” Scoop repeatedly instructed with worry.

“Right, we got it! Rest a.s.sured Scoop, all's good!” Lonemoon replied.

Scoop: “…” That's what you said the previous time too!

But Lonemoon directly retracted the jade token and cut off the image. Then he went forth and examined the piece of scale in detail.

“There's… nothing different!” It just looks cleaner than average scales, evident that Scoop had been taking good care of it.

Yi Qing also went forward and pressed a hand on that scale, sensing carefully, his eyes suddenly widened. “Huh!”

“What's wrong?” Lonemoon asked, “What did you sense?”

Chef frowned before answering, “Immortal Qi!”

“Of course! Scoop is a Celestial Emperor in any case, this scale came from its true form, it would be odd if there weren't any Immortal Qi.”

“It's normal for it to contain Immortal Qi!” Chef glanced at him and went on slowly, “But don't you think… there's a little too much Immortal Qi on this?”

“What do you mean?” Lonemoon frowned and directly picked up the scale on the table, sending a trace of spirit qi into it. He was shocked at once. “Wow! Indeed a little too much, but these immortal qi probably wouldn't last for long!” That heart-protecting scale in Shu Yi's hands had fallen off Scoop for more than 3000 years, not to mention the time difference between the immortal realm and mortal realm. “Unless the Immortal Qi has been stored in it the whole time!”

His words fell, struck with a sudden thought, he turned abruptly towards Chef. “d.a.m.n it, no way!”
