Chapter 153 – Messenger

The ruby tied to the other end of the rope lost its power.

It split apart and landed on the ground, and then dispersed in the wind like dust.

“It broke!”

Stunned, Phecda tried to grab the gem fragments. But she just grabbed empty air. As if streams of light, the fragments drifted away from between her fingers.

A bitter look on her face, Xue Qilin untied the rope tied to her index finger.

“Thus, I dislike divination the most!”

According to Xue Qilin, divination is very troublesome.

But strictly speaking, the difficulty of the preceding preparation process and casting are not so complicated as to be daunting.

In fact, she dislikes divination because it is too costly.

It takes one gem just to divine a direction, yet its just some very simple divination. The more difficult the divination, the more mediums — gems and precious metals — have to be consumed. More importantly, not every gem and precious metal works. Divination has extremely strict requirements on the specifications and quality of mediums.

In Xue Qilin's previous world, a divination master has spent thousands of gems in order to predict the major events of the coming 100 years, But the result was underwhelming in both accuracy and clarity.

Taking Xue Qilin's divination just now as an example. She clearly has divined the eastern direction. However, the actual direction they walked is slightly slanted to the northeast. Divination has a very minute but real deviation. Besides, the deviation will increase with the complexity of the divination.

Xue Qilin, who has no extra cash, cannot afford to spend the minimum of one gem at a time to perform divination.

To put it bluntly, she is broke.

What's more, she is unwilling to spend money on divination at all, feeling that the price-performance ratio is too low.

“It seems that we have come out…”

Xue Qilin looked around.

They are no longer being pestered by the white fog.

They didn't spend much time to leave the dense fog area and return to the embrace of the forest.

In the gra.s.s in a corner, blue light is flas.h.i.+ng indistinctly. It is the sapphire that was dropped earlier.

Xue Qilin looked back and discovered that the area covered by the dense fog is smaller than she has expected. She estimates that it is less than 20 square meters. This means that the effect of the fog on the cognitive ability is greater than expected.

It turns out that I've been going around in circles in such a small area? Xue Qilin couldn't help but feel fearful.

This fog is basically an invisible prison. Except for Xihe, who holds the key, few people in the world can get out of it by themselves. If Xue Qilin hadn't luckily picked up a few gems, she would have to struggle a lot to get out of that prison.

For some reason the fog started to disperse.

Xue Qilin's line of sight therefore pa.s.sed through it and reached the distant cloudy sky.

It wasn't until the fog melted into the air as if it has never emerged to begin with, that she retracted her gaze.

Then she looked in a certain direction.

A towering tree stands in her line of sight. But Xue Qilin is not looking at the tree. She is looking at some person hiding behind a tree… no, it should be said, some martial demon.

“Puppy, although I am happy to see you… but shouldn't you give me an explanation…”

Xue Qilin's gaze became sharp and, as if it has substance, pierced through the tree and stabbed into the pet.i.te existence behind it.

She didn't see Puppy. But she can sense his aura.

“Why are you here.”

There is no response.

But…

With only one step, he appeared from behind the tree.

A pair of dog ears, dressed in burlap clothing, and still s.h.i.+vering. As expected, Puppy appeared from behind the tree.

Why is he here? Curiosity killed the cat — was it out of curiosity? Was it by chance? Impossible, it's too coincidental.

Due to his timid personality, he wouldn't get close to a place with abnormal activity. Xue Qilin isn't sure. But it looks like Puppy is waiting for someone.

Who is he waiting for? Xue Qilin doesn't know the answer to this question. But her intuition tells her that Puppy is waiting for her.

“Uh, Big Sister Immortal Lady… I…”
