After entering the plane, Yuan used his divine sense to look for the Manager, and sure enough, just like Qi Fang had said, she was lying on her bed with alcohol in one hand and food in another, and she was watching the television.
Compared to her image at the Dragon Spiral Mountain, she was like a different person.
After snapping out of his surprise, Yuan knocked on her door, which startled her, who was distracted by the television.
"Manager, we’re ready to return to the mountain." Yuan said to her.
"I-If you’re ready, press the button and fly back already. The plane is fueled up and ready to go." She said to him, not even bothering to leave the bed.
"Okay..."
Once Chu Liuxiang entered the plane, Yuan pressed the red button in the cockpit and started the plane.
"Where’s the Manager?" Chu Liuxiang asked once they were in the air.
"She’s in her room." Yuan said.
And he continued, "Anyways, we have a couple of hours before we return ho. Let’s cultivate while we are still in the air. For so reason, the spiritual energy up here is far superior."
"Maybe because it’s much purer up here than down there." Chu Liuxiang said.
They began cultivating shortly after until morning ca and the plane landed.
"Manager, we’ve returned ho." Yuan knocked on her door when they landed.
A few monts later, she ca out of the room looking like a professional businesswoman, and nothing about her could suggest that she was a lazy person.
They all exited the plane, but when Yuan saw the Manager getting into her car, he began having flashbacks of his traumatic experience with her.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get into the car." The Manager said to him when he was the only one standing outside.
Yuan swallowed nervously and entered the front seat.
The mont Yuan felt the car wheels turning, his heartbeat quickened.
However, to his surprise, the car didn’t move at the speed of light, and the Manager was actually driving responsibly!
"Are you okay?" Yuan asked the Manager in a worried voice.
She turned to look at him and frowned, "You think there’s sothing wrong with ?"
"Well... You’re acting... Weird..." He said.
"Is that so? Then I should probably act normal again, huh?"
"Huh? I don’t an—"
Before Yuan could even finish his sentence, the Manager stepped onto the accelerator all the way, and the car imdiately sped up.
"I-I’m sorry if I offended you, Manager! Just slow down!" Yuan exclaid.
"Too late for that."
And for the remainder of their journey back to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, they continued at maximum speed, which was over 150mph.
Once they reached the mountain, the Manager finally slowed down.
"We’re here. You can get out now— except you." The Manager looked at Yuan.
"You guys can go back first and let the others know that we have returned." Yuan said to ixiu and Chu Liuxiang.
"Okay."
Once they left, the Manager drove Yuan to the peak of the mountain.
"We’re going to see the Lord?" Yuan asked.
"What else are we going to do? Watch the scenery?"
Soti later, they entered the fog on foot until they reached the peak of the mountain.
Yuan approached the cave at the center while the Manager stayed behind and watched from a distance.
"How was the Qi Family? Did you make any new friends?" The Lord’s voice resounded from within the cave.
"Yes, I made a lot." Yuan said.
And he continued, "You know... You could’ve at least told that I was going to kill a demon for them before sending there."
"Oh? Did I not tell you? I must have forgotten."
"..." Yuan frowned, and he said, "If I cannot trust you now, why would I trust you in the future— when you tell about Cultivation Online?"
The Lord remained silent after hearing Yuan’s words.
"It was just a test— and you passed it flawlessly."
"Test? What kind of test is that?"
"To see whether you can really kill demons or not, and I wanted to see if you would deal with the demon even though it was not part of our agreent. This shows that you really care about dealing with demons."
"Anyways, now that you have returned... safely. Can you tell about what happened at the Qi Family?"
Yuan took a deep breath and recalled his experience there.
He spoke about defeating the demon, and he spoke about training the Qi Family.
"Hmm... Interesting..."
"This may seem sudden, but when do you plan on dealing with the demons on the mountain?"
"When...? How am I supposed to know? We don’t even know when the demons are breaking out of their seal—"
"It shook." The Lord suddenly interrupted.
"Excuse ?" Yuan raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner.
"The Dragon Spiral Mountain shook three days ago, and the crystal is a lot redder. The demons... They’re breaking out of their seals soon."
"Soon...?" Yuan swallowed nervously.
He was confident in handling one demon, but if he had to fight 11 demons at once...
"I really hope you’re ready by then." The Lord said.
After a mont of silence, Yuan said, "I will."
"Anyways, if there isn’t anything else, I’d like to return ho and prepare."
"You may go."
Soti later, Yuan returned ho to find everyone sitting around the diner table.
"Welco back, Yuan. We’ve heard everything already from ixiu." Wang Ming said.
"Not everything." Yuan shook his head.
"What do you an?"
"The mountain shook three days ago, right? The demons are close to breaking out of their seal, and I will be transferring the demon sealing techniques to you now so that we can prepare."
"Oh? We can finally learn the demon sealing techniques? Nice!"
"Yes. Get in line, I am going to transfer the techniques to you guys now."
Wang Ming and the others quickly got in line to receive their demon sealing techniques.
