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 grass in a corner, blue light is flashing 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 passed 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 petite 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 shivering . 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…”
Unable to finish his sentence, the timid Puppy suddenly closed his mouth, and his eyes wandered around .
Suspicious, he’s really suspicious! Xue Qilin can’t help but wonder if the suspicious Puppy has some intentions, bad intentions, towards her .
Xue Qilin gave Phecda a glance to make her alert, and Phecda nodded her head in return .
Then Xue Qilin grinned at Puppy .
“Puppy, what’s the matter? Just speak your mind!”
Puppy hesitated, appearing like he’s struggling to open his mouth .
Is he stalling for time? Xue Qilin frowned as her suspicion grew .
“Puppy, I am in a hurry, so just spill it out . ”
Xue Qilin is a little impatient . Worried about Qi Qiqi and them, she doesn’t have time to waste here .
In fact, Xue Qilin could have left without asking Puppy to come out . But at the thought that he may really have something urgent that he needs her help with, she couldn’t bring herself to abandon him .
Really, I’m such a hypocrite… Xue Qilin suddenly has a misconception of a bitter taste in her mouth .
She often describes herself as “selfish” and advocates that things are unrelated to her . But in fact, she actually cares about a person — a martial demon — whom she only met once . She’s being self-contradictory .
It may be difficult to describe it clearly, but Xue Qilin has an inexplicable sense of guilt towards martial demons .
Could it be because she didn’t save the martial demon that was auctioned in Luotian Town last time? To be honest, she’s not very clear about it herself . Anyway, it is difficult to express a person’s feelings in words .
Whatever the case may be, there is indeed a sense of guilt floating deep in her heart .
Still silent, Puppy is rubbing his hands together and standing still .
What’s going on? Anxious to meet Qi Qiqi and them and ensure their safety, the last trace of Xue Qilin’s patience was finally eliminated at this moment .
“If there is nothing, then I’ll be going . ”
Xue Qilin raised her voice a little . Appearing to be frightened, Puppy shuddered violently .
When Xue Qilin turned to leave, he finally gathered his courage .
“See, see you!”
Because he was in a hurry, Puppy bit his tongue, and tears emerged from his eyes due to the pain . He covered his mouth and squatted down .
Without waiting for him to recover, Xue Qilin asked mercilessly, “See me? Did you come specially to see me?”
Does he want to learn magic from me? Xue Qilin squashed this thought as soon as it emerged . Impossible . As a member of Martial Demon Realm, Puppy can’t possibly not know the current situation of Martial Demon Realm . No matter how useless he is, he is still an irregular martial demon with Earth Realm cultivation base . With his perception ability, there’s no way he wouldn’t pick up such a disturbance .
“If this is the case, since you have already seen me, I will be going!”
Xue Qilin urged the other party indirectly . Puppy jumped up like someone has stepped on his tail and waved his hands .
“No, no, that’s not it!”
Xue Qilin responded with a soft snort and motioned him to continue .
“It’s not that I want to see you, but that someone else wants to see you, Big Sister Immortal Lady!”
“Who is it?”
Who wants to see me? Suspicion filled Xue Qilin’s belly instantly .
In the end, Xue Qilin heard an unexpected name .
“Big Sister Beiming wants to see you . ”
“Beiming? Do you mean Beiming Youyu?”
Xue Qilin finds this hard to believe .
“Yes, Big Sister Beiming asked me to call you . ”
Beiming Youyu wants to see me? Why choose this place and this time? Why didn’t she come to me in person? Xue Qilin suddenly felt like she has fallen into a mist, and her thoughts filled with questions .
At this time, Puppy has turned his back to the two .
“Big Sister Immortal Lady, come with me . Big Sister Beiming is already waiting for you . ”
