My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Panda Novel

Shortie, who had soaked herself in the spirit spring for four whole days, finally woke up. Lonemoon greeted her and told her to get Bai Ze to gather in the side hall where Shen Ying was. Then, Lonemoon went to look for Chef.

Chef looked like he had not rested the entire time. His body was listless, as if there was a difficult problem that he could not solve. When he finally met Shen Ying, he looked constipated. Even his food tasted an entire standard lower.

Lonemoon glanced at the breakfast on the table. Mm, this was a breakfast that did not have any soul in it. He scanned a certain someone who was still calm and lazy. The corner of his mouth twitched. Damn it, she’s enjoying this meal in particular. Why was it that she despised all the other meals that Chef cooked for her before this?

He looked around and realised that somebody was missing.

“Where’s Bai Ze?”

“Elder, I did not manage to find Supreme Divinity Bai Ze,” Shortie answered. “I tried searching the entire Bai Yun Mountain and I still could not find him.”

Lonemoon’s expression hardened as he glared at the foodie. He turned to Yi Qing and said, “Chef, you go! I don’t care how you do it, just find the man for me!”

Yi Qing had just been staring into blank space. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked alive again. “Alright!” He turned and disappeared out of the door looking extremely excited.

Shortie: “…” Elder Yi Qing went to search for him right? Why did he bring his sword? And why did he have so much murderous intent?

Shortie could not find Bai Ze anywhere on the mountain. Chef, whose cultivation level was much higher, took less than 20 minutes to locate Bai Ze and bring him into the hall. The two of them were covered in dust and looked extremely messy – especially Bai Ze. Ordinarily, he would be dressed in white robes. This time, his robes were brown from the dust and his face looked bruised.

“He’s here,” Chef announced before keeping his sword. He carried his small body and stopped behind Shen Ying as he always did. It was then that he realised he was being blocked. He turned around and moved a stool to a spot behind Shen Ying, then climbed on top of it so that he was a full head taller than Shen Ying. He glared across the hall at Bai Ze.

Little bastard, stop trying to cheat my master! I will keep my eyes on you!

Bai Ze, upon entering the hall and spotting Shen Ying in front of him, seemed to have recalled something. His rage disappeared and his face flushed as red as a shrimp. He wanted so badly to turn around and fly away.

Lonemoon’s reaction, however, was quick. He cast a spell to close the door and set up an isolation array. “Hey, you’re almost done. We have some serious business to talk to you about.” He turned and glared at the lazy bum.. “Shen Ying.”

“Huh?”

“Huh your ass. Settle your matter first!”

“Oh.” Shen Ying stood up and walked toward Bai Ze. She looked him in the eyes and said, “You ran away too quickly yesterday. I did not have time to reply you.”

Bai Ze’s heart skipped a beat and he felt the temperature in his face rise. “Shen… Ying… Well… Well…”

“Thank you, I don’t accept!”

“…” Bai Ze stared blankly back at her, his face turning pale. “Then I-”

“I don’t like you!”

“I… I can-”

“I will not like you in the future.”

“I-”

“I have never liked you.”

“…”

Shen Ying patted him on the shoulder comfortingly before turning around and plonking back down at her seat.

Lonemoon: “…”

Xuan Tong: “…”

Was she… stomping all over his heart? She was being a bit too brash about it, wasn’t she?

Xuan Tong looked meekly at Lonemoon. “Elder, why do I feel pity for Supreme Divinity?”

“It’s better to deal with painful things quickly than to allow them to drag on. Shen Ying already rejected him before. He is considered quite experienced with this pain.”

“Will he… be alright then?”

“Don’t worry, he’s just fallen out of love. He won’t die.” It was just a crush too.

“But he looks extremely heartbroken. Eh? He’s kneeling at the corner of the room! He looks so weak, like he’s going to be blown away by the wind any second. Will he really be alright?”

“…”

“Heh… Well, let’s talk about some serious business.” Lonemoon stepped forward and said in a serious tone.

Elder, you’re changing the topic, aren’t you?

“Shortie, is your primordial spirit alright?” He suddenly asked.

Xuan Tong nodded and looked thankfully at the man who was still kneeling at the corner of the room. “Supreme Divinity’s spirit spring is indeed miraculous. I feel like my primordial spirit is stronger than it was before. Even my cultivation level feels like it’s going to breakthrough anytime soon. I think I will soon be able to return to the immortal realm.”

“We can’t return to the immortal realm for now.” Lonemoon’s expression sank. “Because not only your primordial spirit is injured, but Chef’s as well.”

The moment he finished speaking, everybody but Shen Ying looked at him in shock.

“What!” Xuan Tong jumped to her feet. “Elder Yi Qing is injured as well! How can that be? Isn’t he a divine being now? What kind of person can hurt… Eh? Why are you all looking at me?” She paused mid-sentence and found that everybody was staring at her with eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”

“Shortie, you…” Lonemoon pointed at her lower body.

Xuan Tong looked down to find that there was a very familiar body lying on the table… it was her body!

She was transparent and floating in the air.

“Ah ah ah.. What’s going on?” Xuan Tong screamed. She instinctively flew back to her body. Suddenly, the body on the table sat up. Xuan Tong’s soul had returned.

“Indeed, there’s still a problem with Xuan Tong’s soul.” Lonemoon’s face fell.

“That can’t be!” Even Bai Ze was frightened to see what had just happened to Xuan Tong. He scanned her from head to toe and said, “My spirit spring does have recuperating functions. I even checked her primordial spirit myself – it was recovered. How can it be that her soul can still leave her body for no reason?”

“This has nothing to do with her primordial spirit,” Lonemoon answered. “This is because a part of her soul is missing.”

“You mean… that remnant soul!” Yi Qing suddenly remembered that array Mother Feng had.

“She is missing a part of her soul! But aren’t you and Bai Ze as well?”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you realise…” Lonemoon glanced from one to the other. “Each of you have a part of your soul missing as well?”

Bai Ze: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon frowned deeply and his expression darkened. “Shen Ying and I just found out about this as well. From the beginning, we thought only Shortie had a problem. Especially so when we realised that her remnant soul was trapped in the array we found in the Divine Underworld. But later, when I checked Shortie, I realised that apart from her unstable primordial spirit, there was nothing missing from her soul. At first I thought that the remnant soul was left behind before Shortie reincarnated. Perhaps the power of reincarnation made Shortie’s soul whole again, and that’s why her remnant soul from her previous life was left behind, but…”

“If her soul is complete, the remnant soul should disappear,” Bai Ze completed Lonemoon’s train of thought.

“That’s right.” Lonemoon nodded. “The weird thing was that the remnant soul did not just remain for a day or two. That proved that it did not exist from her previous life. The issue being Shortie did not have such a problem until she got injured by the ghost immortal’s Yin Qi. Later, Shen Ying reminded me that when Chef was in the egg, he too was exposed to Yin Qi. Hence, I decided to check on him as well. I found that although not obvious, his primordial soul was also in a state of mess.”
