The tiger demon was stunned as it turned its head rapidly, and its eyes actually suddenly brightened as if some delicacy was in front of it- its saliva dripped. “A woman! Hahaha, how lucky I am today that all the good food has come right to me. The meat of young women is my favorite.”
After that, he immediately dropped the two children in his hands and walked towards Shen Ying. The boy coughed loudly, not yet able to breathe properly. He hurried to cry out loudly towards Shen Ying, “Big sister, run! It’s a demon, run!”
Yet Shen Ying did not move, and the tiger demon was reaching right towards her.
The child grew anxious, rushed forward and hugged a leg of the tiger demon tightly.
The tiger demon’s steps slowed. It looked at the person on its leg, and its brows tightened. “You are seeking your own death!” A flash of light appeared in his hands, which turned into sharp claws, reaching for the back of the boy.”
“Hey...” Shen Ying suddenly stepped forward, “Doesn’t the Demon Monarch care that all of you come out and eat people?”
The tiger demon stopped short, turned his head and grinned at her. “The Demon Monarch? Hahaha... Our Demon Monarch would only tell us to eat a few more mortals to increase our cultivation.”
“Oh,” Shen Ying stunned for a moment, “Isn’t the Demon Monarch a rabbit?”
“What rabbit?” The tiger demon laughed. “Little girl, if you stay obedient and let me eat you, I will give you a quick death!” As he talked, he turned, and his hand reached towards her heart.
“Big sister!” The child cried out loud.
“Oh, I am relieved then.” Shen Ying only murmured. Yet just before the sharp claws were going to penetrate her chest, she suddenly inclined her body to the side, her one hand reached out to the back of the tiger demon’s head, and pressed forcefully.
At the next instant, there was a loud bang. The tiger demon, who was arrogant but a moment ago was pressed into the ground, sank and stopped drawing breath. The ground was also affected, and with a snapping sound, it showed a crack as wide as a person and extended into the village.
“...”
(⊙_⊙)
The child looked dumbfounded. He looked up blankly at Shen Ying, unsure how to react for a long while. “Big... sister?” That was... great!
“Do you want to learn it?” Shen Ying inclined her head.
He stunned for a moment, before his eyes brightened immensely, and his little head nodded hard. “Yes.”
(?′?`?)
“Good.” Shen Ying clapped her hands and stood up. “My name is Shen Ying. From now on, I am your Master.”
The child was confused for a moment, but after that, his eyes were even brighter, and a sense of fulfillment he had never felt before filled his heart.
A while later...
He tightened his hand for support and stood up. He patted the dust over his body, knelt known in front of her in all seriousness, gave her three kowtows, before he clenched his fist and said, “Master!”
“Well, since you are my disciple now...” Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction, before she pointed to the tiger demon on the ground, who had already changed back to its original tiger shape. “Do you know how to cook tiger meat?”
The child was speechless.
And so was Lonemoon, who had just reached.
——————
It didn’t take Lonemoon too long to take care of those demons. Although they came in large numbers, all of them were small demons of fifth or sixth level. Defeating them was a piece of cake for him. The sky had already started to brighten, and the immortal sects nearby would be sending someone over soon. He was too lazy to explain. Besides the shock, the villagers suffered no real harm, except for Mother Wang who lived in the periphery – the exact person who gave salted fish to Chef.
That was an old woman of more than 60 years old. She lived alone with her granddaughter of five or six years old. Probably due to the proximity, she sometimes helped Chef, who completely lost his memory. That was why he rushed out so anxiously just now.
The injury was not serious, though. Lonemoon cured her with a simple hand seal, gave her a Longevity Extending Pill, and left with Shen Ying and Chef. Before he left, he made another protective array formation in the village, apparently much more effective than the previous one. No demons would be able to enter and eat people after this, unless an immortal demon comes down.
“Why do you set the center of the array formation at Mother Wang’s house?” Shen Ying couldn’t help asking.
“And you actually dare ask about this!” Lonemoon turned and stared at her. “Why would I ever need to do that, if not for that huge crack you made over there!”
He was angry every time he thought of this. He was doing well dealing with the demons, before a crack suddenly appeared from behind him, dividing the whole village into two, and he almost fell inside. If not for this, why would they have to run away early in the morning?
“Oh.” She didn’t use a lot of strength, though.
“Stop saying ‘oh’!” Lonemoon was out of temper. “Can’t you please take care next time? Did you know that...”
Just when he was doing his scolding, the child who was standing at the side the whole time suddenly placed himself before him, his small arms spread in a protective way in front of Shen Ying. He looked Lonemoon and said, somewhat angrily, “I... I will not let you scold my Master, she did that trying to save me.”
Lonemoon stopped short, looked and the little kid in front him, and instantly rolled his eyes. “Ho, how are you still a Master-flatterer after losing memory.” Without paying him any heed, he looked up at Shen Ying, “You took him back as disciple?”
“Yup.” Shen Ying nodded, smothered the hair of the little kid and said, “Come, call him Father Niu!”
“...”
“Go away!” Lonemoon gave her an angry look. He looked at the confused child and said, “It’s good that we have him back now. Oh yeah, kid, what are you called now?”
The child shook his head. “I have no name.” Since he remembered anything, he had been living in the broken house in that little village, without anyone around him to give him a name.
“That’s just nice.” Lonemoon felt relieved, indeed fearing that it would be awkward to use any new name of his. He nudged Shen Ying, “You are the Master. Tell him, what’s his name?”
The child’s eyes brightened immediately, as he looked towards Shen Ying. “Master, you are naming me?”
“Ah?” Shen Ying stunned, looked down at the person in front of her, before she sighed and said, “Oh, you will be called Che-”
“Yi Qing!” Before she was able to finish, Lonemoon intercepted her words forcefully, caught the child and said slowly and clearly, “Your Dao name is called Yi Qing, do you understand?”
What Chef! It is okay that you call him Chef in daily life, but you can’t go that far as to change his name.
Shen Ying, “...” Didn’t I just get used to it?
“Yi Qing...” The child said the name aloud happily, and somehow a sense of familiarity rose in the bottom of his heart. He turned to Shen Ying and said happily, “Thank you, Master.”
Lonemoon, “...” What the hell! He was the one who said it.
“Father Niu, where are we in fact going?” Shen Ying looked at the clouds which had been passing by them for more than ten minutes. “I’m so hungry!”
Lonemoon grinned. Didn’t you just finish dinner?
He looked back at her angrily, looked in front again, before replying, “We are going to the Upper Azure World, Honesty Sect.”
“What?” Where the hell is that?
