Chapter 241 - 239. They Are Our Masters II

Third-person POV

Tao Qi stared at Yin Yu with bewildered eyes. He had hoped that his speculation was false so he wouldn't get punished by Hei An for offending him when Hei An's soul went back to his original form.

"So that's why his eyes can change like that! How stupid I am to offend master?! Wait! So Hong er is Goddess Sheng Jie?!" Tao Qi exclaimed as his hands started to tremble.

"I assume it is. Goddess Sheng Jie has the holy power that soothes one's negative power. Usually, people would think that holy power is the most effective power to hurt demons, well, they are not wrong. But because of that, our unstable power can be easily calmed by only the presence of Goddess Sheng Jie's power." Yin Yu's lips curled into a soft smile when she thought of Sheng Jie's gentle personality.

"No wonder her face is so familiar, I saw her when Master Hei An lost control of his power and she suddenly appeared out of nowhere then started to scold our master." Tao Qi knocked on his forehead as he punished himself for forgetting such an important event.

(A/N: The event that Tao Qi was talking about is when Sheng Jie visited Hei An because the human world became chaotic because of his unstable power. More like, Hei An fell in love with Sheng Jie moment.)

"From what I know, this Hong er you are talking about is the empress of Da Qi, the current strongest country. And maybe that Liu brat you asked is the emperor of Da Qi, her husband." Yin Yu explained calmly.

On the other side, Tao Qi was freaking out within his heart. His face turned whiter than Yin Yu's white fox fur bed.

"I am dead, even though I am still alive right now, I am literally dead. Master Hei An will destroy my soul when he comes back." Tao Qi murmured while pulling on his hair.

Yin Yu also became anxious when she saw the petrified expression on Tao Qi's face, "What is going on?"

Tao Qi exhaled a deep sigh and started to freak out, "I literally kicked Master Hei An out from Cursed Land! I also lied to him and swore under his name that no one came into the Cursed Land other than him! The meaning is that I literally separated Master Hei An and Goddess Sheng Jie! And I am literally dead!" Tao Qi profusely slammed his head to the floor.

Yin Yu's face instantly paled, the maids around her also looked around in worry. Hei An was known to be cruel and merciless before he met Sheng Jie, therefore, little and high-ranked demons like them really grateful of Sheng Jie for taking control of Hei An's emotion.

Sometimes Sheng Jie would help them to get out when they were in a pinch such as getting punished for talking in a vulgar way in front of Sheng Jie. They were demons, it was hard for them to change old habits so they often get into trouble because of it.

Yin Yu touched her chin with her long fingers as her brows furrowed in contemplation.

"Maybe this is one of the Creator's test?" Yin Yu stated with a tint of uncertainty tone in her voice.

"Probably! But I am making it harder for them, Master Hei An will come for me." Tao Qi continued to slam his head onto the floor.

Yin Yu couldn't help but agree with Tao Qi. The first trial was where both Hei An and Sheng Jie were punished in the most gruesome place and most painful torture that could exist for god, the Fallen God.

Hei An had been mentally tortured by watching Sheng Jie being tortured relentlessly for thousands of years, therefore, the frustration inside of him was piling up and they fear that Hei An would be merciless towards Tao Qi.

"I know what I am going to say is only an assumption but how about you request help from Goddess Sheng Jie as soon as she returned to heaven." Yin Yu's face brightened as she suggested.

"It is easier to say than do, will she even help the me that hinder her fate?! Even if she is extremely kind, she isn't that stupid to help someone that did wrong to her!" Tao Qi hopelessly spread out on the floor.

Yin Yu picked him up and threw him to her bed with her magic, "Yes, she is not stupid. In fact, she is a very smart woman. It is just that her heart is stupidly kind that sometimes I wonder how her brain works."

"Can't I just bring Hong er to Master Hei An? Everything will be done!" Tao Qi excitedly rose from the bed and looked at Yin Yu with sparkling eyes.

"The Creator is very complex, no one can guess what is in his mind. But I am sure that this is one the test that Master Hei An and Goddess Sheng Jie have to pass. Human has a short life, they want to enjoy as much as possible during their short life.

For us, immortals, 100 years just pass by in a blink of an eye. But if we look from a human's perspective, the long separation between Master Hei An and Goddess Sheng Jie is very torturing.

So if you interfere by purposely helping them, I am afraid you are only making it harder for them. You just need to take good care of her while she is staying in your place. She will definitely help you as long as you don't get into her bad side." Yin Yu

Tao Qi stared at Yin Yu with dead eyes, "Ughhh~ Why does it have to be me?! For a high-ranked demon, I haven't lived that long!"

Yin Yu smacked Tao Qi's head and scolded, "Because you are the only high-ranked demon that resides in the human world! I had told you many times to get back to your own territory and do your job! But because you said 'Oh~ I wanna pull some pranks on human so I will live there until I get bored' sh*t, you reap what you sow."

Tao Qi rubbed his head that was smacked by Yin Yu and sulked. Seeing that the boy that was once taken care of was in a difficult place, anxiety mixed with worries filled her heart.

"Fine, I will help you beg Goddess Sheng Jie in case you fail, but you probably won't. Just treat her carefully because she is the most important person to Master Hei An. You hear me?" Yin Yu pulled Tao Qi's ear.

Tao Qi weakly nodded his head.

"Now go back before anything happens to her. If you need any help just call me. Don't look at her n.a.k.e.d body or I can't assure your safety from Master Hei An." Yin Yu swept her hand and a mirror portal appeared.

Tao Qi spiritlessly floated to the portal and closes the portal. After ensuring that Tao Qi went back to his cave to attend Hong er, Yin Yu sighed and regained her cold composure. She raised her hand and the maids swiftly retreated from the room.

Yin Yu stared at the mirror in front of her with eyes full of yearning. In the mirror, it was a projector of Tao Qi's cave. And currently, Tao Qi was writing on the woman in bandages' palm, meanwhile, the woman in bandages giggled from the story that Tao Qi wrote for her.

Yin Yu's fingers gently brushed over the woman in bandages' face, "You are still the same even after so long."

The gentle smile on Hong er's lips was exactly the same as the smile that Sheng Jie showed to her at that day. A crystal tear trickled down her cheek as her trembling lips struggled to spell out the name that she hadn't said for a long time.

"Sheng Jiejie."

(A/N: Sheng Jie's name（圣洁: holy and pure）, meanwhile the 'Sheng Jiejie' that Yin Yu used means Sister Sheng (圣 sheng: holy/sacred, 姐姐 jiejie: older sister) )
