“Do you think I don’t know about all that messy data you’ve brought back from the deviant plane?”

Lonemoon jumped. Data? His cultivation!

“You did not transmigrate of your own accord, but if this carries on, you will create unpredictable outcomes in this world.” Shen Jing scanned Shen Ying from head to toe. “I’m only letting you be temporarily.”

“…”

“Don’t you all forget – apart from being Shen Ying’s older sister, I am also the manager of this plane.” She began to walk forward. Each step she took was akin to a stomp on their hearts, so that they felt a chill right through to their bones. They lowered their heads instinctively, as if knowing that the person in front of them was the most powerful force in the world. “Whether you’re an invader or someone with messy data, as long as you’re causing my plane to be unstable, I will not allow you to exist!”

The moment she finished speaking, Lonemoon felt an extremely strong suppressive force on his body. He retreated. If not for the fact that Shen Ying was holding on to him, he might have already fallen to his knees. At that moment, he realised what a manager meant. Shen Jing had not even done anything to him, yet he felt an extraordinary force pressing down on him. Slowly, he felt his cultivation level seeping out of him.

“Older Sister!” Shen Ying shouted. Lonemoon’s body finally relaxed. Free of the pressure, he turned to check on Chef and saw that he had undergone the same treatment.

“Don’t call out to me!” Shen Jing turned to glare at Shen Ying. “Have you forgotten everything I’ve taught you since you were young?”

“… I haven’t.” Shen Ying lowered her head even further.

“You haven’t? Look at what you’ve done! I allowed you to help me manage the plane in my absence, and this is how you do so?” Shen Ying was enraged. Her demeanour was extremely cold. “I thought that you would restore this person’s data while I was gone, yet you only brought another invader into this plane.”

“…”

Her tone got harder and harder as she continued to glare at Shen Ying like she was an utter letdown. “You’ve really become more daring after wandering around for just a few days! You won’t even listen to me anymore!”

“… No.”

“No?” Shen Jing laughed mirthlessly and activated a screen. “Alright! We can’t drag this out any further. Whether you kill this invader or drag him out, I want you to settle it. And this person with the messy data – restore him to his original state. Wipe their memories while you’re at it!”

Shen Jing was for real this time. Lonemoon’s heart tightened as he tugged at Shen Ying’s sleeve. Didn’t she have a plan? Why was she not carrying it out?

Shen Ying pursed her lips and shot him an inexplicable look.

A moment later, she raised her head. “Older Sister… is this really necessary?”

“What? You want me to do it myself?” Shen Jing’s expression hardened.

“Alright…” Shen Ying suddenly sucked in a deep breath, as if making up her mind about something. She turned around and looked warningly at Lonemoon and Yi Qing. Her expression seemed to say, “Don’t laugh!”

“Huh?” Lonemoon did not understand what she meant.

She stepped forward, her expression returning to normal. She blinked twice, causing her eyes to well up. Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she pouted and looked pitiful. The slothball they always knew Shen Ying to be turned into a cutie in a second. Even her voice became an octave higher. She sounded a bit… whiny.

“Older Sister~ Don’t be this fierce. Let me off just once… Promise Little Ying that you will let them off, alright?” She pouted and blinked hard like she was looking into the sun. “I promise to listen to you in the future, I’ll be good~”

Lonemoon thought he saw something shoot out from her body.

Good… good… good plan! She’s especially adorable! She saved them with her adorableness!

o(*////▽////*)q

Lonemoon could hear his own heartbeat in his ears as his breathing got more shallow.

Suddenly, there was a silence following Shen Ying’s implementation of her plan

The next second…

“Alright, I promise you!” Shen Jing’s hard expression softened immediately.

“Then the two of them…”

“Whatever you want? You can do whatever you want, as long as Little Ying is happy!”

“Thank you, Older Sister. You’re so good to Little Ying!”

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re so adorable – everything you say is right!”

“Little Ying loves Older Sister the most!”

“Me too! You haven’t wheedled in front of me since you were three. I’m so touched. My adorable Little Ying is back.”

What… What the hell?

Lonemoon sucked in a deep breath and placed his hand on top of his pounding heart. Finally, he regained his composure. Indeed, Shen Ying’s was a killer move. She used her own adorableness to save them. It was too scary! Shen Ying’s back was turned toward them at first and Lonemoon thought that they were about to die. Faintly, he heard a special reminder in his ear.

[Ding! Shen Ying activated a killer move: Acting cute!]

[Ding! Shen Jing suffered a blow to her heart!]

Thank goodness they reacted quickly. Otherwise, they would probably be dragged into the mess. This was such a cheater move. It was an utterly shameless attack.

“Chef, we… Wait, Chef, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

“Why is your face so red? Are you alright?”

“Holy shit! Why is your nose bleeding!”

An hour later.

“Heh, since Little Ying pleaded on your behalf, I will not pursue the matter with the two of you.” Shen Jing was finally back to normal. She cleared her throat and turned into her usual cold self. “Even though I’m not taking any action, the two of your existence would still cause instability in his plane. The manager of your realm is not replying me either. I have no choice but to send you back. If you stay here, I can’t be certain that nothing would go wrong in this world.”

“Can’t we apply for an access pass first like Kaitian did prior?” Shen Ying asked.

“Do you think the access pass is a type of vegetable – that you can plant as many as you want?” Shen Jing rolled her eyes.

Shen Ying pouted. “Older Sister¬!

Shen Jing paused, her heart softening. “Heh… well, it’s not impossible to grant them an access pass. But they must possess the skills to pass the test.”

“Test?” Lonemoon paused.

“You must take a test even to learn foreign languages now. Naturally, you’ll have to take a test to get the access pass!” Shen Jing scanned the two of them and continued, “Both of your numbers are really high, but I can’t be sure that you’d both pass the test.”

So… they had to apply for a temporary resident permit?

“What kind of test?”

“We’ll use the task I intended to hand to Shen Ying as the test.” She activated a screen and immediately two black and red planets appeared in front of them. “Both of these are known as the Planets of Death. They were the planets that were infected by the deviant planets involved in the spatial storm earlier. There is no civilisation there, but all the plants have been infected. Each of you can choose one planet. Use any method you can to disinfect it. Then, I’ll pass you!”
