Chapter 404: Seemingly Familiar (1/2)
The winds outside gradually grew stronger, and the blue robes of the girl started to flutter in the wind. Even her long silky hair flew up, making her seem as though she was a fairy descending from the heavens, incomparably exquisite and beautiful! She suddenly floated up with the wind, drifting to where Ling Tian was hidden in the tree.
Ling Tian clearly saw in her eyes a certain type of playful and mischievous expression. Unknowingly, he started to feel a sense of warmth in his heart. This was a result almost impossible to achieve, as Ling Tian would never have this sort of impression towards someone he just met. Then just why did he feel this way?!
The blue-robed girl stretched out her slim fingers, and gently rapped twice outside the tree, directly at the place where Ling Tian had filled in the hole of the tree. She acted as though she was a visitor coming up to a house, and knocking on the door while saying in a soft voice, ”Is anyone home?”
Ling Tian was totally tongue-tied! This la.s.s actually discovered him, how did she do it? This was borderline demonic! Ling Tian believed that even Justice would not be able to discover this hiding place, and so accurately!
”Are you still not coming out? Your house is too tiny, so I won't go in to visit. If you insist on staying there, I can only set this place on fire.” The lady snorted before saying, ”If young n.o.ble Ling turns into roasted pig Ling, then that would not be nice.” As she spoke, she floated five feet away from where Ling Tian was, quietly standing there as though showing her lack of killing intent.
Ling Tian laughed helplessly to himself in the dark, before using a hand to lightly push out the piece of bark. As he floated out, he activated the Divine Bone Shrinking Art. With a few 'ka ka' sounds, his shrunken body recovered back to its original shape.
”I never thought that you would have actually succeeded in cultivating the Divine Bone Shrinking Formula, and even to such an advanced degree!” The soft whisper of the girl traveled over. She still stood with her back towards Ling Tian, but she gave off the feeling of being unmoved by everything, a feeling of lonesomeness and solitude. To think that such a young and pretty la.s.s could give off such a feeling of isolation!
It was as though in this wide world, in the boundless mortal dust, she had already withstood endless generations of solitude!
Desolation and loneliness!
”Miss really has good eyesight! Just one look and you immediately saw through my hiding place, and can even tell the skill that I used at one glance. Ling Tian really bows down to you!” Ling Tian was originally very confident about his hiding place, thinking that it was a seamless plan, but to think that he got ferreted out. He touched his nose, feeling depressed as well as unwilling to concede his defeat, but suddenly was struck by his words. How did the girl recognize his own Divine Bone Shrinking Art?
”Hehe… are you at a loss for words?” The blue-robed girl lightly giggled as she slowly turned to face Ling Tian. Ling Tian failed to notice that, at the moment she turned, her body actually trembled a bit.
With eyes deep like the endless ocean, she gazed across Ling Tian's face, with countless thoughts flas.h.i.+ng past her head. If Ling Tian had carefully looked into her eyes, he might have found out a fluctuation within her eyes, much like the revolving of a wheel of samsara!
Exceeding the boundaries of this world!
”How could I be at a loss for words? Haha… since Miss called me out from my humble abode, you must have something to instruct me about.” Ling Tian smiled and spoke. ”May I know what matter has caused you to invite me out?”
”Are you very satisfied with your hiding spot? Believing that it's seamless?” The blue-robed la.s.s had settled down her turbulent feelings, and her tone became sharper all of a sudden. ”Do you know that, in another few hours at most, if no one can find any traces of you, then this entire forest will turn into a firestorm? If by then you're still sitting self-satisfied in your tree hole, may I ask young n.o.ble Ling how he plans to escape?”
Ling Tian was immediately overwhelmed with shock! His whole body burst out in cold sweat, if what the lady before him said was true, then by the time he realized that the forest was burning, he would no longer have a chance to escape!
But thinking about it, Ling Tian felt as though something was wrong. Based on the haughty temperment of Justice, why would he lower himself to do something that would anger the heavens and earth? Furthermore, why would such a proud person use such methods in order to deal with him? If it were any other person, that might be the case, but Ling Tian believed that Justice would never do so!
Even if Justice were to give up on killing him, he would not use such an extreme method!
Then, could the lady be lying to him?!
As though she had seen through Ling Tian's thoughts, the blue-robed girl suddenly let out a faint smile as she spoke, ”There's no need to overthink, this order was not set by your extremely frightening opponent, but instead a person called the Second Master of DongFang family.”
