Chapter 448 - Picking Up A Fatty (2/2)

(⊙_⊙)

“Oh, I found a cave!” Shen Ying pointed at the collapsed entrance and exclaimed in all seriousness.

“…”

Are you sure it was found, this obviously something that you smashed and created?!

“We can hide now, let’s hide!” Shen Ying crawled directly into the cave.

After creating such a loud din, was there still any use in hiding now?

The man wanted to cry but had no tears, turning back to glance at the two figures in the air that seemed to have stopped moving, he gritted his teeth, deciding to throw everything to the back of his head and turned to follow her into the cave, then, he was… st… stuck…

His tummy had been caught in a circle of rubble, his upper half was in, but his lower half wouldn’t move no matter how he tried to push. He forcefully kicked his feet against the ground to boost himself but still failed. He could only reach out to the person inside. “Miss… p.. pull me.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying turned back and glanced at him, then reached out, held his wrist and tugged lightly. Following another rumble, he made it in and the entrance had also collapsed, the broken stones fell and blocked the hole.

The man realized that the interior of this rock wall was hollow after entering, it was very spacious.

Recalling what had just happened, he looked at the lady before him with disbelief, what happened to not being a cultivator?

As he was about to speak, a whoosh came from outside, shivering as the terror in his eyes grew he did not even dare to budge an inch. He even wished he could stop breathing.

Sure enough, sounds of landing came from outside in the next moment, coupled with two unfamiliar male voices.

“Did Senior Brother manage to trace his presence?”

“No. My searching spell suddenly had no reaction, I wonder where he is hiding?”

“That’s odd, we followed him all the way, how did he disappear? Has it got to do with the strange earthquake earlier?”

“It’s possible, let’s continue to search around nearby.”

With that, two swords riding away sounded from outside.

Shen Ying turned to look towards fatty but saw him hurriedly making a shushing gesture, indicating for her to keep quiet.

As expected, in less than five minutes, the two male voices sounded again.

“Could it be that he really isn’t hiding near here? But for a person with no cultivation, the furthest he would be able to walk would be here.”

“Senior Brother, just in case, let us go back the same way and search again, who knows he might not have made it here.”

“Mm, you’re right, let’s go!”

The duo left again, but fatty still did not dare to move, looking nervous as he continued to listen on for any sounds from outside.

This time, more than ten minutes passed before the two voices sounded again, cursing with exasperation.

“Damn it, I didn’t think we really let him escape!”

“What do we do, with him leaving, Yu Uncle-Master…”

“It’s impossible that he managed to escape by himself, he must have had help, we’ll go back and report this to Sect Master before anything else!”

With that said, these two people finally left, fatty who had stood stiff for a good half an hour finally exhaled, his entire being seeming as if he had gone through a battle, sprawled on the ground as he panted heavily.

Shen Ying stole a look at him before continuing to nibble on her fruit. The crunching sound was especially resounding in the stone room.

“They should have left.” the Fatty panted for a long while before pushing himself to sit up, he sent a grateful smile to her, but ending squeezing his face such that the flesh on his face shook. “If it wasn’t for you, we would have been caught.”

“Oh.” Being caught might be a little hard, being lost would be easier.

He looked around and continued, “They might still be standing guard outside, we can’t leave through the original path, this stone cave is huge, there must be other exists, why don’t we search around.”

“Mm.” Shen Ying had no objections.

Fatty then stood up and said merrily, “Oh yes, my name is Hui Ze, may I know how to address you?”

“Shen Ying.”

“So it’s Miss Shen.” He cupped his fists politely, his eyes slightly bright, he hesitated for a moment before he sighed. “Miss Shen, were you… born with this divine power?”

Shen Ying paused in her steps, turning back to glance at him, her eyes narrowed. “That’s not divine power.”

“Then?”

“I am an immortal.”
