“Who are you, and why have you invaded the City Lord’s abode?” The man flicked his wrist and sent yet another immortal sword flying toward Shen Ying. The sword stopped just two inches away from Shen Ying’s face. He shouted, “Talk!”
“Er…” Shen Ying hesitated. “If I said I got lost, will you believe me?”
“You got lost in someone else’s abode?” The man frowned even more deeply and tutted, “Hmph, you’re wearing a black robe and you’ve only just ascended to become an Earth Immortal. Don’t think I don’t know why you have come.”
“Well…” This is really just a normal black robe.
“I advise you to leave quickly and drop any ideas you have about Weighty Tower, or else… Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Weighty Tower?” Shen Ying paused. She looked up to see the tower behind the man. It was indeed so tall that it looked like it could reach the clouds. The tower was painted completely black, and it almost blended perfectly into the night sky. If she had not looked closely, she would not have noticed there was a tower there.
“Seeing as you have just ascended to immortality and are still relatively weak in your cultivation, the City Lord will surely deal with you mercifully if you repent now,” he said in a deep voice.
Shen Ying felt his immortal power surge, unsure if he was showing off or if it was subconscious.
She tilted her head but said nothing in response. She looked behind the man and suddenly said, “Hey, do you know where the main door is?”
“You’re still thinking of escaping at this stage?” He raised his eyebrows and glared art her, “The City Lord’s Abode is filled with highly skilled immortals. You will surely be caught again before you even reach the front yard.”
“Oh.”
“If you understand, you better… Wait! What are you doing?”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shen Ying began to walk toward the man. He went pale and shouted anxiously, “Stop right there! Don’t come any nearer, do you hear me?”
But Shen Ying paid no attention to him. She walked right past the immortal swords, as if they were not dangerous at all. She continued walking toward him and walked right through his body.
The man who had been so high and mighty earlier ran away so quickly that it looked like he had just disappeared into thin air.
Yet she could still hear his voice shouting nervously, “Stand still! Do not get any closer to the Weighty Tower, do you hear me!”
“I say…” Shen Ying ignored him and continued walking toward the tall tower. She pushed open the door with her hands and said to the small figure seated inside, “Little friend, the next time you try to bluff someone, remember to disguise your voices as well.”
A strong man who looked about twenty years old with a voice of a child coming from behind him – she gave this voice-over zero marks out of ten.
“You… you…” Seated in the middle of the room was a small child dressed in blue, with a look of pure panic on his face. He pointed to her with his little finger and said, “How did you get through my imaginary body and the defensive array outside the door?”
Shen Ying paused. Forget about the failure of an imaginary body – was there even a defensive array at the door?
“Little friend!” She shouted as she walked into the room. The child retreated in fear, and she could not help but kneel down and pull him back toward her. “Don’t be afraid, Auntie is only here to ask for directions. Tell me where the main door is.”
“You…” The child’s eyes widened as he studied her suspiciously. “You’re really… here to ask for directions?”
“Yes,” she answered, nodding. In order to prove she was not a weird auntie, she continued, “If you want, you can just point the direction in which the main door is located!”
“You… you’re not here to capture me?” The child asked. He looked confused and utterly shocked.
