Chapter 399: Going into Hibernation

After this beating, Little Black didn’t appear in the sect for a whole month. Yu Hong seemed very angry indeed, such that every time Little Black wanted to creep back secretly, she’d find out and throw him out without mercy. She didn’t even have a good face for other members of the demonic clan with whom she was usually in contact.

Lonemoon finally became a bit more free. He had originally thought that he’d have to give this newly wed couple a wedding leave. From the look of it now, he needn’t worry about that anymore. Yet though the matters of the sect was solved, something else came up.

“What’s this?” Shen Ying poked the huge colorful bird on the table.

“Hong Meng sent it. He said that this was the first phoenix that appeared in their plane.” Lonemoon explained casually.

“Phoenix?” Shen Ying turned instantly towards Chef.

“It’s just a similarity in appearance.” Yi Qing glanced at the bird on the table. “This is a beast without spirit.” A large bird at most.

“Oh.” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed. “What’s it for?”

“He heard that he had some special abilities. Hong Meng specially sent it to you to thank you for the last time.”

“For me?” Is it a meal?

( ̄『̄)

“Hmm.” nodded Lonemoon. Ever since sending Hong Meng’s group to their plane, they would send over gifts from time to time. Just that their plane was only recently opened and there was really nothing special. This was the first time that they saw a living thing. “But he also didn’t elaborate on what this bird was exactly good for.”

When they were thinking, the bird on the table suddenly fluttered her wings and flew up, making a crisp cockle. She flew one round in the audience hall, and white light started shining all over her body. In the next moment, her long tail waved and a white light flashed. Something dropped from the sky and fell right on the table with a bang. Instantly, a crack appeared on the table surface.

They looked down, and an object, crystal clear, the size of a fist, appeared on the table. Bright light shone in it and Immortal Qi overflowed from it.

This was…

“A spirit stone!” Lonemoon was shocked. Taking up the stone for a look, he realized that it was supreme-grade spirit stone besides. “This bird can actually produce spirit stones!”

Even Yi Qing looked at the bird which already flew down with some shock. This was simply a moving spirit stone library. With it in the sect, they would never need to worry about the lack of spirit stone. Though of course, they had no lack of it now.

“Hong Meng is generous indeed!” Satisfactorily, Lonemoon touched the bird which laid back on the table. He smiled like a bank-owner. “Even for such a precious bird, he sent it straight over.” Hmm, he was a sensible god.

“Wow.” Shen Ying pulled the bird’s hair curiously. “So… can it be eaten?”

Lonemoon, “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

“Is there anything in your brain besides eating?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her, and then he hugged that bird and said, “This is a spirit stone-producing bird! How can it be eaten casually?”

“Can’t a stone-producing one be eaten?” The meat smelled sweet indeed.

“You are wasting! Of course we have to keep it to get spirit stones first. What a pity it is to eat it like this! In any case, you’ve already eaten six meals today!”

“Six…” Was there so many? Shen Ying stunned briefly, and she looked at the bird in his hands. But it looked really delicious indeed!

“Is it so important to have spirit stones?”

“Nonsense. Without spirit stones, what are you gonna eat and drink?” Lonemoon was seriously dispelling her desire to eat. “These are supreme-grade spirit stones, and the immortal qi in it was the purest. It will be very beneficial if disciples of the sect directly absorb the immortal qi from it during cultivation. In the worst case, they could be exchanged for something else.”

“Like that…” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed and something flashed in her eyes. She said slowly, “But isn’t this stone produced from that bird’s… butt? To take what it produced from there and absorb it again… isn’t it a bit unsanitary?

“…”

“And also, you’re using what it produced to exchange for food and drinks, then…”

“Shut up!” Lonemoon’s face was almost turning green. If she continued further, he was going to puke. Why a proper thing changes its taste completely when spoken from her mouth. “There, there!” He stuffed the bird into her hands directly. “For your additional dish. Happy?” Is it worth being like this for a mouthful of food?

“Chef!” Shen Ying was overjoyed, and she turned to stuff the bird to into Yi Qing’s hand, “Chili chicken, the super spicy kind!”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

Lonemoon: “…” F*cking retards.

A while later…

“Eh? Father Niu, where are you going?”

“To, wash, my, hands!” He suddenly felt that his hands smelled like bird shit!

“Oh.”

Only then did Shen Ying straighten up her body, and on a rare occasion, took the initiative to set up the plates. One hand holding a pair of chopsticks, she waited for her meal, looking like a hungry ghost.

The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. He was too lazy to bother with this foodie. He threw away the spirit stones in her hand and turned to the kitchen to wash his hands. At that time, a dead bird was already lying on the chopping board. He felt a stuffiness in his chest. His heart was so painful. My cash-printing machine!

He withdrew his look in silence, sped up the washing of hands, and then walked out. What somebody doesn’t see can’t hurt them.

When he went out, Shen Ying still maintained the previous posture. Only that her eyes narrowed, and she no longer had the energetic look from just now.

“Foodie Shen.” Lonemoon waved, and seeing that she didn’t respond, he couldn’t help but gave her a push. “The sun’s not down yet, how are you already sleepy? Not eating the bird anymore?”

Shen Ying turned to give her a look, and her eyes were misty. She looked as though she only heard his words after a long while. “Ah… Not eating any more.”

“Holy shit! Why didn’t you say earlier?” Even its feathers were all plucked. “You purposely… Hey, are you okay?” Lonemoon only just realized something was wrong with her. “What’s up? Why are you like this? What happened?”

“Father Niu… Let me discuss something with you!”

“What matter?”

Her look became even more blur, as if she was going to drift into sleep the next moment. “I might… need to hibernate for a while.”

“What hibernate? There’s no winter in the sky palace! What… is really wrong with you?” Lonemoon panicked. Suddenly thinking of something, his heart tightened. “Was it because of opening the plane last time? Did you…”

“Only a bit sleepy and want to sleep.” Shen Ying tilted her head, not giving a direct answer. “Just that… it will be a rather long sleep.”

His heart sank suddenly. “How long?!”

“Hmm… pretty long!”

Lonemoon’s hands tightened beside his body. He took a deep breath, before he could suppress the emotions in the bottom of his heart. He said word by word, “I’ll just ask you one thing. Tell me honestly, nothing will happen to you, right?”

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she nodded hard. “Of course!”

“Okay… That’s good.”

She suddenly clicked on her wristband, drew out a light screen and did some manipulation lazily. “During this period, I will seal all the plane passages. Don’t open them under any circumstances. And…” She stopped halfway and her tone changed. “Save that bird for me. I’ll eat it after I wake up!”

“How does the bird still matter now?” Lonemoon grew even more anxious. “Tell me first, what can we do to help…” He struggled to calm down, and then turned towards the kitchen and called out, “Chef… Chef!”

Yi Qing happened to be walking out of the kitchen. “It’ll be ready in a minute. Master, I…” Yet Shen Ying looked that she finally couldn’t keep up anymore. She directly fell over to the side.

With a bang, the dish which she held in her hand fell over the floor.

The color on her face faded completely, and it became pale as snow…

“Ma-ster?!”
