My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“The Godfiend’s Mark!” Before Zhan Ting could finish, Little Black had already exclaimed.

“What Godfiend’s Mark?” Lonemoon frowned and asked in an irritated tone.

“The Godfiend’s Mark is my clan’s contract seal.” Little Black explained, “The seal will only appear when someone swears by their Demon Soul and sets up a Demon Contract. Just like the immortals’ Heavenly Dao vow, once it is established, they are bound by the Godfiend to accomplish it. Otherwise, the Mark will make the person who set up the contract pay an even bigger price. However, the Demon Contract cannot be set up unless the cultivator is at least a Skyfiend, otherwise the Godfiend will not respond.”

“Contract?” Lonemoon looked closely at the pattern on the pendant, “Shen Ying, where did you see this pattern… Wait a minute! This pendant can’t be the one that Hui Ling was wearing on her neck?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded.

“F*ck!” It really was, “You think that… the person who gave Hui Ling the pendant set up a Demon Contract with her, so she was able to pull you into the Fringe Realm?”

“Not a contract.” Shen Ying tilted her head and replied, “It was the person himself.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” He had not reacted to it, “What person… the Godfiend! You’re saying that the Godfiend gave Hui Ling the pendant?” He stood up abruptly and looked at Shen Ying astoundingly. The other people were equally shocked.

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded nonchalantly and turned to Yi Qing, “Did you bring fruits?” She kept feeling as though something was missing.

“I… did.” Yi Qing instinctively reached for his storage bag.

“This isn’t possible.” Little Black shook his head vigorously, “Exalted Goddess, the Godfiend is the earliest ancestor of my clan, the Demon World and even the entire demon clan was created by him. He is like the Heavenly Dao or even the God of Creation. He has only ever appeared in legends and none of us knows if he actually exists. Even if he did exist, why would he grant such a pendant not to us demons but to an immortal cultivator.” There was no purpose in doing so.

“No, it’s possible…” Yi Qing raised his head and looked at them, “To combine the two worlds.”

Everybody was stunned, but immediately reacted.

If the Godfiend really existed, he indeed had the power to make the two worlds assimilate and he naturally could make him and Shen Ying transmigrate to this world.

Yi Qing and Lonemoon thought even further. Back then, Hui Ling had used the pendant to pull Shen Ying into the Fringe Realm. By right, crossing realms should not be an easy thing to do, if it was entering the mortal world, it was still fine. However, to enter a higher-level realm such as the Divine World, it was extremely difficult if it was not an Immortal Ascension. Moreover, that Fringe Realm that no one had ever heard of, probably only the Godfiend had that ability.

Moreover, with Shen Ying’s power, someone who had never witnessed her power could never understand. The only person in the Celestial World who had the power to stop the Celestial World and Demon World combining into one was probably Shen Ying. Trapping her in the Fringe Realm was indeed the best idea, even if they were unable to keep her there, they could at least stall for time.

In reality, although the method that Hui Ling was clumsy, it had indeed diverted their attention. Even after they had fought off the enemies, they focused their attention on getting the Celestial Emperors back from their radish bodies into their actual bodies and ignored the gate to the Demon World.

“You mean… it was the Godfiend who combined the Celestial and Demon World?” Zhuo Hua, who had finally understood the entire flow of events frowned. She turned and looked at Zhan Ting, asking, “Where is that Godfiend now?”

The two Demon Kings were both stunned. After a while, Zhan Ting said with a fawning expression, “Darling, just like Li Yin said, the Godfiend’s existence is merely a legend. Nobody knows if it’s actually true and nobody has ever seen the real Godfiend. It’s impossible to find him.”

“Then let him come and find us!” Shen Ying said suddenly.

“…”

Everybody was shocked and turned to look at her.

What do you mean?

“Does Exalted Goddess have a plan?” Little Black’s eyes lit up and he habitually sucked up to her, “As expected of the Exalted Goddess, so wise, brave, omniscient. How will we make the Godfiend look for us?”

Shen Ying finished the fruit in her hand with a few crunches, then turned to look at Little Black. She suddenly smiled at him, revealing her teeth, showing him a never-before seen, gentle expression that felt like flowers blooming.

Little Black shivered uncontrollably, the hair on his body standing on ends.

“Little Black!”

“Here… here, here?”

“Today’s weather is pretty good, how about… you make a vow, the kind that needs the Godfiend’s Mark.”

“… Huh?”

∑q|゚Д゚|p

Was he deaf?

————————

Six hours later.

“Exalted Goddess, do I really have to draft the contract?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded.

“Exalted Goddess, making a vow with your Demon Soul is a serious matter, I need to consider it carefully, can we change it to tomorrow?”

“Oh?”

“Exalted Goddess, why not we change the contents of the contract? I am a Demon King after all, my first time using my Demon Soul to draft a contract should at least be to help Exalted Goddess conquer all the Three Realms or something grand like that.”

“Not interested.”

“Exalted Goddess, why not you try conquering the Demon World first? Our Demon World is especially fun.”

“Not fun.”

“Exalted Goddess, Zhan Ting is also a Demon King and he has been Demon King longer than me. The effects of his contract will definitely be better, why not we use him?”

“Not familiar.”

“Exalted Goddess….”

“Shut up and go!”

“Alright.”

A certain Demon King then gave up and hung his head with a sour expression, like he was about to cry. He walked to the center of the courtyard with his puffy red eyes and set up an array formation while conjuring seals.

He never wanted to be a Demon King!

┭┮_┭┮

“Shen Ying.” Perhaps Little Black’s expression was too resentful, Lonemoon couldn’t help pushing the person next to him, “Are you sure that this Demon Contract can lure out that supposed Godfiend?”

“Nope!” Shen Ying shook her head in all seriousness.

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Black and White: “…”

So… You’re just sending Little Black to his death as an experiment?

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” It’s not that big of a contract. Shen Ying instinctively walked forward and stood nearer to a certain wailing Demon King.

Little Black had already finish setting up his array formation and set up another dozen of defensive array formations in one breath. He then stood in the middle of the array formation and took a few deep breaths, as though he was desperately preparing himself for something. After a while, he then looked at Shen Ying, looking as though he would die.

“Exalted Goddess, can we really not change to another vow?”

Shen Ying did not reply but raised the fruit in her hand and crunched down hard on it.

Little Black shrunk back into the formation, then raised one hand and channeled demonic Qi into his voice and shouted:

I, king of the Demon World, Li Yin, use my Demon Soul to establish a contract with the supreme Godfiend. Abiding by the rules and laws of the heavens — Tonight, I will make Exalted Goddess Shen Ying eat sweet dumplings. If I defy this, I am willing to accept severe punishment by the Godfiend.

For a moment, the rumbling voice sounded throughout the entire demon city and did not dissipate.

The entire city: “…”

Little Black: “…”

How shameful, he wanted to cry!

〒▽〒

“Chef!”

“Here!”

“Tonight, make salted dumplings.”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

Little Black: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Little Black: “…”

This was different from what they agreed on?!
