“Who are you?” Shen Ying took a bite of her fruit and asked.

“Exalted Goddess, I’m Little Three[1, Slang for “mistress” in Mandarin[!” The Skyfiend raised his head and pointed at his own face. “I’m the Little Three in Exalted King Little Black’s house, remember?”

“...” What Little Three? Did Yu Hong know about this?

The skyfiend quickly added, “The third of the skyfiends – I’m Little Three. Exalted Goddess, you’re the one who gave me that name, remember?”

Lonemoon: “...”

Shen Ying: “...”

You should have told us earlier that you’re one of the ten skyfiends!

Lonemoon turned to glare at a certain someone. It’s all your fault for coming up with random nicknames for people!

“Supremacy?” Shu Yi was beginning to feel a little uneasy. She turned to the skyfiend in a panic and asked meekly, “Didn’t you... Didn’t you promise to destroy Gui Yi Sect for me?”

“Don’t spout nonsense!” The skyfiend straightened up on his knees. Was she courting death? How dare she say things like that in front of the Exalted Goddess? “What sect? Who was going to destroy the entire sect? Don’t get me into trouble. I’m a good demon. I have been at the Exalted Goddess’ beck and call ever since the lower and upper realm merged. I’ve always been harmonious, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve never done a single bad thing. Yesterday, I even went to the Invincible Heavenly Palace to help King Wu give out immortal pills to the various continents. Each month, I would even add to the merits of the sect. I’m not slacking at all!”

“But...” Shu Yi began to look a little confused. She said, “I’m the one who restored the skyfiend’s seal!”

“So what if you did? Who told you to do that anyway?” The skyfiend refused to admit that he was the one who left the instructions. Instead, he quickly clarified his position. “We didn’t give you the immortal stone. You created it of your own accord just because you had nothing better to do!” I’m not that familiar with you anyway! Stop trying to act like you were in cahoots with me all this time!

“You...” Shu Yi continued to stare blankly at the skyfiend. Was this really a skyfiend?

Little Three kowtowed toward Shen Ying once again. He emphasised each word as he said, “Exalted Goddess... Exalted Goddess, please believe me! Although I look black, I’m innocent!” After pondering for a moment, he added, “It’s all the other skyfiends’ faults. When the demonic gate opened, we played rock paper scissors. They cheated at the game, and I ended up losing. I had no choice but to come down here. I really did not want to!”

The more he explained himself, the louder his voice became. He sounded indignant. Tears began to fill his eyes. “Exalted Goddess, it really has nothing to do with me. When the immortal realm and demonic realm joined together earlier, I checked the entire place for remnants of demonic gates. I thought I had kept them all. This skyfiend seal had been broken. it could not summon any demonic gates at the time, and people from the lower realm should not know how to fix it. It’s Demonic King Little Black who said that we didn’t have to bother about this seal anymore. That was why we did not take it back from the lower realm. Now... Exalted Goddess, it’s all Demon King Little Black’s fault! He made me do this!”

Shen Ying: “...”

Lonemoon: “...”

Everyone: “...”

Was this skyfiend really so scared that he was betraying his own supervisor?

(⊙_⊙)

An electronic voice sounded in Shu Yi’s ear. It sounded like a judge.

[Ding! Original Owner’s grievous energy 5!]

[Ding! Grievous energy value has reached 100! Mission failed!]

[Ding! The Heavenly Dao on this plane has detected us. Prepare to leave this plane by force. Host, please be prepared. 10, 9, 8...]

A wave of indignance came over Shu Yi. She had no time to process the scene before her eyes before her angry gaze landed on Zuo Shuming. Her eyes were filled with strong murderous intent. The next thing she knew, everything in front of her eyes turned black and she lost all sense of logic.

Lonemoon and the others saw a green talisman filled with codes flash on top of Shu Yi’s soul. The black primary soul from an alternate world, which had been stuck inside the invader’s heart, seemed like it was being forcefully pulled out of her body. It immediately flew toward the demonic gate. Shu Yi fell to the ground, unconscious. But the original primary soul in the body did not re-appear.

The system was getting away. Lonemoon quickly called out, “Chef!”

Yi Qing, who had been in the kitchen, appeared in a flash in front of the demonic gate. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the demonic gate to close immediately. The passageway that led to the demonic realm was now closed. Then, he summoned his sword array to trap the entity that was made up of codes.

The system seemed to have noticed that it could no longer enter the demonic realm. Thus, it burst into green light. They had no idea what it was trying to do, but it charged through Chef’s sword array, and toward the ground.

Lonemoon stiffened and reacted immediately. “It’s heading for the River of Forgetfulness!”

He turned around and tried to stop it. Shen Ying, who had been opposite him just a second ago, suddenly appeared by his side. She reached out and grabbed him.

“What are you doing?” Lonemoon asked anxiously.

“Wait for awhile!” Shen Ying responded nonchalantly. She took another bite out of her fruit.

“What are you waiting for? He’s going to escape through the River of Forgetfulness!” The system wanted to enter the demonic gates to go back to the immortal realm, but it did not know that the hole had been closed. That was why it wanted to escape through the pathway outside Invincible Heavenly Palace. Since Chef locked the demonic gate, the system was now attempting to enter the River of Forgetfulness in the lower realm and drill a hole in it directly. “Shit! It’s gone in!”

Lonemoon paused. The system was already underground and in the River of Forgetfulness. His chest tightened. “It wants to run... Eh?” He trailed off mid-sentence when he realised that the system, which had been glowing green, had lost all of its light upon entering the golden source. The green light separated from the system and seemed to form another body. From the centre of that green light floated a white soul. It faintly looked like Shu Yi.

This was... the real Shu Yi that had been taken over by the system. In other words, this was the primary soul of the body. It was finally separated! The invader had not managed to accomplish her mission. Therefore, she would be unwilling to follow the system back. What’s more, under the current of the River of Forgetfulness, the system would not be able to keep a hold on the primary soul.

Everything was happening so quickly. In a blink of an eye, the original owner’s primary soul returned to the River of Forgetfulness. Yet, the system did not stop moving. After separating from the original owner, it continued to bring the invader’s black soul through the River of Forgetfulness forcefully. With pure brute force, it opened a hole in the plane.

“It’s done!” Shen Ying threw the core of the fruit aside and jumped into the River of Forgetfulness.

Lonemoon looked up at Chef, who was still in mid-air. They quickly followed Shen Ying. In a flash, the three of them disappeared into the ground.

The people and skyfiend, who could not see the system nor the River of Forgetfulness: “...”

Σ(°△°|||)

What was going on? What just happened? Why did Shu Yi fall to the ground unconscious all of a sudden? And how did the three of them disappear?

They turned around to look at Zuo Shuming – the only one who had been close to the three of them...

“I... I don’t know either,” Zuo Shuming said, confused.

“...” Were all the Soul Formation Supremacies so mysterious?

They turned to face one another, then looked down at the skyfiend, who was still on his knees. The skyfiend really did look pure and kind.

Speaking of which – was this a real Skyfiend?

For some reason, the fear that Yu Luan felt in his heart completely dissipated. He squared his shoulders and said, “Well... Fellow Daoist, we don’t know when the three Supremacies will be back. Why not you... Come back to the main hall with us and have a cup of tea?” After all, he did not seem to want to pick a fight with them. It was in all of their interests to remain harmonious!

“No!” Little Three quickly shook his head vigorously. Determined, he responded, “Exalted Goddess has not permitted me to get up. I cannot get up on my own. I’m a skyfiend that knows better – don’t even think about lying to me!”

Yu Luan pursed his lips and changed his approach. “Why not we send a cup of tea over here?” You can drink while you kneel?

“Sure!” Little Three nodded. “Remember to add more tea leaves! It perks me up!” For all he knew, he could be kneeling for another 500 years!

Yu Luan: “...”

Zuo Shuming: “...”

Everyone: “...”

F*cking retard!
