Chapter 154 (2/2)
Still in a state of shock, Puppy turned his neck stiffly and looked at Xue Qilin. He clearly hasn't reacted to the accident yet.
“It really wan't on purpose… Do you hear me, Puppy?”
He isn't scared silly, is he? Anxious, Xue Qilin waved her hand in front of Puppy.
“Puppy?”
“Ah! I do!”
Puppy shook abruptly, and his sluggish eyes finally focused.
He looked at Xue Qilin and Phecda back and forth, and then looked at Phecda's arms embracing him from behind. He should be ascertaining if he is well and sound.
Puppy's gaze suddenly landed on a place.
“Big Sister Immortal Lady, it's there!”
“Really!” Xue Qilin looked in the direction Puppy is pointing with a finger, “Is it there?”
“Yes.”
Puppy nodded repeatedly.
Xue Qilin and Phecda exchanged a look, and then adjusted their flying trajectory.
Their destination is a meadow, an empty place that seems like it has been dug out in the forest. The meadow surrounded by a sea of trees looks like a sinkhole.
Instead of trees, there is a small wooden hut in the meadow. There is a brook flowing beside the wooden hut, and a simple wooden waterwheel is spinning on top of the brook, gurgling.
“Someone lives in this deserted place?”
Xue Qilin raised her eyebrows and murmured. If it was her, she wouldn't want to live in such a forsaken place like Martial Demon Realm.
“Puppy, we're going to land! Grit your teeth and bear with it!”
Xue Qilin adjusted her posture in the air and lowered her speed gradually, preparing to land.
“Ok, okay!”
Puppy took a deep breath, and then screamed, “Wahhhhh –!” He probably didn't expect the so-called “landing” to be so violent.
The three approached the ground in a near free fall.
“Big Big Big Big Sister Immortal Lady, we're going to crash, cras.h.!.+”
Of course, they didn't crash into the ground. But almost.
Before Xue Qilin and Phecda touched the ground, they made a sharp turn, almost cutting across the ground. After landing, due to the inertia, they took a few steps forward before steadying themselves.
Phecda let go of Puppy, letting his feet touch the ground. However, without calming down, the lad still screamed with his eyes closed.
“Why are you screaming?”
Xue Qilin stood up on tiptoes, leaned forward with one hand on her hips, and glanced at Puppy unhappily.
“We already arrived! You're a man, be more steady! Next time you see Little Jade, ask her how to be a reliable man! She is more manly than you!”
Only then Puppy recovered his composure and opened his eyes cautiously.
“So, sorry.”
“Don't say sorry so easily!”
Xue Qilin glared at him, upon which the latter shrank back in fright.
Just told him to be more steady, and he immediately says sorry, what is this? After sighing, Xue Qilin, no longer paying him attention, s.h.i.+fted her gaze and searched for a certain figure. Before long, she found a figure she hadn't seen in a long time next to the waterwheel, in front of the brook.
It's a pure white figure.
Gazing at the female figure from behind, she looks as ethereal as usual. Surrounded by an air of transcendence, she looks like a dandelion that will dissipate into the air at any time. Xue Qilin even has the misconception that the girl doesn't exist in the world.
Her sense of existence has turned faint!
