Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: People Resemble Each Other (1)
Everything happened in just a few seconds, the slim old man reached the big tree where An Yiqing was hiding in just a few breaths!
"Get out here!"
With a furious shout, like a bolt from the blue, the old man’s hand transformed into a claw, furiously reaching towards the direction where An Yiqing was hiding!
...
In that instant, the whole world seemed to freeze, the skinny old man’s outstretched hand paused mid-air, his eyes wide as saucers, staring dead ahead as if he had seen a ghost.
Shi Yimeng and Huang Yiyi exchanged baffled looks, quickly running over.
"Nobody?!"
With a cry of surprise, Huang Yiyi circled the big tree several times, her face filled with disbelief.
Shi Yimeng was also puzzled; he glanced at the stiff old man and cautiously asked, "Uncle, do you see..."
"How can there be no one? I clearly sensed a presence just now!" The old man was furious, like a lion in a frenzy. If looks could kill, he would have annihilated the entire forest.
"Um... maybe, it could be just a small animal in the woods, haven’t we encountered such situations before..." Shi Yimeng touched his nose, murmuring softly.
Out of everyone in the Poison Medicine Sect, Uncle Zhang had the worst temper, easily flying off the handle for the slightest reason, and Shi Yimeng had already learned his lesson many times.
Thus, this time, he cleverly provided Uncle Zhang with an out.
Given an out, Uncle Zhang didn’t pursue the matter further. Reluctantly scanning around, he huffed coldly, fiercely flinging his sleeves before striding away.
Seeing Uncle Zhang stomp toward Shimen, Shi Yimeng and Huang Yiyi didn’t linger. With lingering fear, they glanced back and quickly ran through the gate. Soon, the pitch-black gate vanished again amidst the trees.
The woods were quiet, with only the sound of the wind and rustling leaves, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.
About two thousand meters away from where the gate of the Poison Medicine Sect had been, a slender white figure suddenly appeared.
An Yiqing patted her fiercely throbbing chest, looked back at the now invisible Poison Medicine Sect, and heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Fortunately, when that old man charged over, she remembered her ability to turn invisible.
Under the severe circumstances, right as Uncle Zhang’s claw-like hand almost touched An Yiqing, Fatty Mao Er’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind. Triggered by the thought, An Yiqing swiftly moved and vanished completely into thin air.
While hiding her body, she also perfectly concealed her presence without a trace.
Touching the bracelet on her wrist, An Yiqing silently celebrated; if it weren’t for Fatty Mao Er’s reminder, she might have been severely injured or even killed!
"Boss, shouldn’t you thank me this time? If I hadn’t reminded you in time, you wouldn’t have even remembered your ability to become invisible!" a certain Fatty Mao Er said proudly.
Indeed, because the ability to become invisible was newly acquired, An Yiqing truly hadn’t thought of it in that moment.
"You saved me this time, when we get back home, I’ll buy you a bunch of dried fish to enjoy the smell!"
"Mmm-hmm, that sounds about right!"
An Yiqing smiled and gently touched her bracelet, as if she could see Fatty Mao Er’s proudly prancing little figure.
Since she had just started cultivating, her invisibility could only last for less than half an hour. Once this time was exceeded, both her presence and body would be exposed.
