Chapter 453: Fatty to the South

Hui Ze didn’t imagine that he could actually get out of the city safely and walked out casually in front of two Soul Formation cultivators besides. The group of Divine Imperial Sect disciples at the city gate ignored him completely as if they all went blind together. Just like that, he followed behind Shen Ying and went all the way out of the city gates.

At first, he thought that they didn’t recognize him because he was busy running these few days and never took care of his grooming. But after leaving the city, he couldn’t help but go and look in the river, and then realized that his look, albeit dirty, remained quite recognizable. Besides, cultivators recognized people not solely by looks, but more importantly, by aura. But just so amazingly, nobody recognized him.

He couldn’t help but look towards Shen Ying beside him, who was nibbling at a fruit. Remembering the happenings at the inn yesterday, he finally understood that Miss Shen must have done something, such that he could leave the city safely. He didn’t expect that she, being just a mortal, could be so capable, so kind, and so quiet with her help without asking for repayments. So different from those beautiful sluts he had seen before.

Hui Ze’s heart was all moved. The look that he gave Shen Ying was shining like a light.

A certain chef who was peeling a fruit at the side couldn’t help but add force to his hand. With a crack, the cast iron fruit knife was directly broken into two. Coldness all over him was released directly towards the Fatty. Temperature around them plummeted immediately.

He knew that this was another little bitch who came to fight with him for Master!

凸(艹皿艹)

He directly stepped forward, placing himself between the two, cutting off a certain person’s heated look forcefully. At the same time, he handed the peeled fruit in his hand to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying was stunned briefly. She looked at Chef who suddenly squeezed over, took the fruit casually, and then looked at the fat man behind him who was not blocked because of his size.

Something flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly asked in a light tone, “Fatty, you hungry?”

Huh?

Hui Ze was a bit stunned. He wasn’t.

Just as he was about to answer, Shen Ying had already turned with a serious look towards Lonemoon beside her, “Father Niu, Fatty is hungry. How about stopping for a bit and eat lunch first!”

To hell with eating!

Lonemoon gave her a stare. You sure it was because he was hungry, not because you wanted to eat?

“F*cking enough, we just had breakfast an hour ago! Now…”

“Father Niu,” Before he could finish, Shen Ying added, “He is the boss.”

“…”

He wanted so much to kick this one out! Did you come to work or to travel? Hello?

The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. He looked at the sky, and made a seal- controlling the Dharma artifact to land down, stopping by a river.

“We’ll have a rest and go on later.” With that said, he gave Chef a warning stare. “Just resting, no cooking!”

Yi Qing who was just about to take out kitchenware was stunned momentarily. Seeing Master beside him whose face fell instantly, he hurried to take out a few bags of snacks when Father Niu was not looking, and stuffed it into the storage bag beside Shen Ying quietly.

Hmm. These were all the snacks that he accumulated for Master behind a certain parent’s back over these few days. Before Father Niu could discover it, he had to hurry and sneak it away.

The beneficiary’s eyes lit up. She gave him a quiet thumbs up.

Hui Ze who watched the whole thing, “…”

How did he suddenly feel that Miss Shen’s life was rather difficult?

( ̄△̄;)

Lonemoon went to the riverside and took some water. He thought about it and made a fire-elemental spell to boil the water and then cool it into warm water. His hand turned to hand the warm water to Shen Ying. “There!” Cold water may give one stomachache.

Another bottle was handed over to Chef to keep for cooking. After all, water called out by a spell couldn’t be as good as natural ones.

With all these done, Lonemoon was finally free to look at the fat man at the side, who still looked slightly confused.

“Brother,” He gave him a bright smile. Obviously, mild aura was released from his whole body. Yet Hui Ze shivered for no reason at all. He felt a faint illusion as if his spirit stones were flowing into the other person’s pocket.

“Now that we are out of the immortal city, what plans do you have for the future?” asked Lonemoon. “Any place that you want to go? We can escort you.”

“I…” Hui Ze was stunned. The confusion on his face was even thicker. He wanted to say that he had nowhere to go and would just go anywhere that he came by. But he also understood that he couldn’t possibly always follow them, as they had no relation at all and even Miss Shen and him were mere acquaintances. They had taken risks twice in a row to get him out of danger, and with all those behind him… he can’t trouble them forever.

He thought about it. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “I… heard that in the extreme south there is a thick forest rarely visited by cultivators. The scenery inside… must be spectacular.” His face changed, but then managed to make out a naive smile. “I’ve always wanted… to go and see. Would you be willing to send me?”

“The extreme south…”

“Yes.” He nodded hard. His eyes flickered, but he remained smiling while saying, “Only that it was quite a distance from here, and with no transportation array, it would have taken a few days on swords.”

“You sure you want to go somewhere like that?” Lonemoon frowned and looked at him in surprise. “Do you know what kind of places are dense forests seldom visited by people and avoided by cultivators?”

“…” His face stiffened, but he didn’t answer.

Lonemoon continued, “Places like this were full of high-level demonic beasts or rampant with demonic aura, places which few who entered could make it out alive. Are you sure you want us to send you to some place like this to look for your own death?”

Hui Ze’s face was instantly pale as paper.

“Do you believe that all the flesh and fat you have on you would have nothing leftover once you’re in those woods?”

His body stiffened even more. He took a few deep breaths. After a long while he forced himself to laugh, and said, “Hahaha… Fellow Daoist, don’t scare me, I will be careful! Besides… besides, I have the Aura-Concealing Talismans!” With that said, he started taking out those messy talisman papers again and said with a forced ease, “It will be fine!” Worried that he’d not believe him, he thought about it and then added rapidly, “Don’t worry about being affected by me. You’ll only need to send me near the southern area, don’t need to go deep inside. Really!”

Lonemoon fell silent. He looked at the man in front of him who smiled in an almost fawning way. His heart was immediately full of agitation. He kneaded the fan in his hand. After a long while, he cursed to himself,

“Shit!”

Obviously, he didn’t intend to take care of the troublesome affairs of this man at all. He looked him up and down. “So… what did you take from Divine Imperial Sect after all?” Such that he had to hide in such a place.

The fat man was stunned. “Wha- What?”

“We took you out of the city to save you.” Lonemoon sighed. “Never mind, it was just wasting a bit more time. Now that we did, it makes no sense to send you to die. You may as well tell us the whole matter. For the sake of those spirit stones from last time, we may be able to help you.”
