My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“You retard, go to hell with ‘love’!” Lonemoon really couldn’t help himself anymore, that he no longer cared whether his immortal power had recovered, and rushed up to give him a severe beating. And he deliberately punched into that square face full of stubbles. “Dare you say any more nonsense!”

Tao Chu still seemed to be in an infatuation.

“My husband, even if you beat me, I won’t change my love! Ouch!”

“My husband, since the moment you saved me, I have fancied you!”

“My husband, so long as you agree to marry me, I will love you with all my heart despite the numerous concubines in my palace.”

“Wait… you can’t hit that place… My husband… Ouch! My husband… Sir!”

“So painful, so painful… Sir Lonemoon, Great Immortal, please save my life, ahhhhhh!”

Tao Chu’s looked was completely terrified, as he stepped back, hands pressed to his lower body. Unfortunately, there were sword arrays set by Chef all around them- he had nowhere to retreat to.

Lonemoon held his longsword, apparently angry to the point of craziness, such that there was even a bit of a smile on his face, but the smile was freezing cold. He closed in step by step towards. “Numerous concubines in the palace, eh? Love me with all your heart, eh? Then I’ll clean it up for you so that you can cease this thought!”

With that said, he raised a sword and it fell towards a certain indescribable body part.

“Wait! Great Immortal… You have to calm down. Great… Great…” Tao Chu’s face went pale like paper instantly. His face was full of terror. Seeing that the sword was about to fall, at that critical moment, he remembered something, and cried out loud, “I… I know where the thing you’re looking for is!”

The sword edge paused and stopped in time, right beside his pants.

Some reason was finally recovered in Lonemoon’s eyes. He turned towards Tao Chu, his look was as cold as ice. He spoke word by word, “What’s ‘the thing’?”

“Just that… that egg you all are looking for!” Tao Chu swallowed his saliva and replied hurriedly, his eyes totally frightened, with not a bit of the earlier infatuation left.

Egg! He meant the spirit seed?

“Talk! Where is it?” asked Lonemoon.

“It’s… it’s at Yang City.” replied Tao Chu hurriedly. “I have seen that colorful egg before at Immortal Academy in Central District of Yang City.”

“Immortal Academy?” Lonemoon’s face sank. So there was such a place.

“Yes, yes.” He nodded hurriedly. “I will never lie to Great Immortal, but please spare my life, Great Immortal!”

Lonemoon looked back towards Yi Qing and Shen Ying, before putting away the sword in his hand. “Count yourself fortunate!” He turned his hand and threw the sword back towards Chef. Then, he looked back towards the man. “Tell me, where is that Yang City?”

“Right in the… the east.” He pointed to the right weakly.

Chef’s face sank. He took two steps forward and said, “True or false, it’s better to go and take a look.”

“Yup.” Lonemoon nodded.

Tao Chu finally let out a sigh of relief and embraced his own strong body. Yet Lonemoon turned and looked back again, then suddenly smiled. It scared him to shake again.

“Next…” He suddenly walked back once more, took out a pen and paper from nobody knew where, and said word by word, “Let’s have a chat about the matter of my various compensations, including costs of missed work, fright, travel, mental loss, reputation loss, etc, over these days!” Death could be avoided, but debt could not! Not a dollar could go missing!

Tao Chu, “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

It was Father Niu indeed. He didn’t even forget to make money from a forced marriage!

——————

The Yang City that Tao Chu mentioned was the largest city in this area around the end of void. It took the three half a month before they reached there. Coupled with the vagueness of Tao Chu’s description, they had to settle down in the city first and gather some information about it. Fortunately, with Tao Chu’s compensation using most of what he owned, this time they didn’t have to worry about money any more.

And the restrictions on Father Niu had already been lifted. He recalled carefully, and realized that despite his carelessness early on which subjected him to the tricks of that peach demon, the demon himself might have some special racial talent which could freeze other people’s Dharmic powers. Therefore, once he left, his body recovered automatically.

He had no time for a careful study of this chaotic “end of void” until now. This place was a bit like a mixture of cultivators’ world and many other types of worlds. There were not only cultivators but also demons, fiends, all kinds of elves and dwarves, etc. It was like a world of mixed Chinese and Western properties and it had contained many things that they didn’t understand and had to defend themselves against.

“Eh? Where’s Shen Ying?” Lonemoon looked at Chef who sat alone at the table. Wasn’t it time for breakfast?

“Perhaps Master is tired from yesterday’s traveling,” replied Chef, “She’s not awake yet.”

“Psst, how tired can it be for her?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. Wasn’t it Chef who always rode the sword? She stood behind and nibbled at fruits at best.

Ridiculing aside, he still turned back to tell the waiter in the hall to serve their food later.

Yi Qing looked out at the streets full of people, and thinking about that spirit seed, he spoke subconsciously, “I wonder where that so-called Immortal Academy is actually at.”

“We can only try to ask about it.” Lonemoon also frowned. “But since it’s called an academy, it must be a place to educate students. I only don’t know what it teaches.”

“Are two sirs talking about Immortal Academy?” When he was talking, a person from the table beside them suddenly came over and looked at the two with enthusiasm. “If you would like to know about something, you can ask me!”

The two were stunned for a moment. The person speaking wore a long green robe. He was not tall and looked somewhat thin. Most importantly, on his forehead there were two skin-colored antennas, and two balls of fluorescent light actually shone at its top.

They had already seen all kinds of strange people when they entered the city yesterday, and the people here seemed totally used to them as well. Lonemoon couldn’t guess his identity, but still smiled politely, “Oh, have you heard of the Immortal Academy, sir?”

“Who hasn’t?” The young man sat down himself like he was around someone familiar, and said smiling, “This Immortal Academy is the largest Academy in Central District, and it’s long been known by everyone. Only that I know it in more details, with some information that none of the others know.”

“Oh?” Lonemoon’s eyes narrowed. He smiled even more politely and said, “Sir, you actually have such abilities?”

“Of course!” He said with a face full of pride. “I’m from the insect race, whom are best with information. There’s nothing that we don’t know in this Central District.” With that said, the antennas on his head shook slightly. “You understand, this is a racial talent.”

They actually didn’t understand it!

But Lonemoon didn’t show that on the surface. He continued smiling and said, “Sir, you are actually an insect race, I’ve been disrespectful!”

“No worries, no worries!” The young man smiled even more brilliantly. “If you both have any need in the future, you may find me for information any time. I promise that there’s nothing you want to know that we insects can’t find out.” With that said, he even handed over a name card made from earth. “There, sir! It’s the address of our city branch. You will always be welcome.”
