Chapter 298.2: Danger Averted, Problem Unraveled
“I can do that, but….. there are things I am scared of outside, so I do not dare to.” The little beast lowered its head sadly, staring into its paws.
Qing Yu could not help but raise an eyebrow, not knowing what could be out there that would frighten the little fella so much, though something so simple like concealing one’s aura was not difficult at all for her.
“Here. This elixir is not just able to conceal your aura to hide your presence, it can also make you invisible for a good six hours. As long as you do not touch any humans, you will remain invisible to them.” Qing Yu opened her palm and a pristine jade white elixir pill sat quietly in her hand.
The little beast blinked its eyes a couple of times and then leaned its head in to gulp down the elixir in its mouth.
“Mother, can you see me now?” The mushy sounding voice sounded once again, but the figure of the tiny ball of coal could no longer be seen.
Qing Yu laughed softly. “See for yourself over the water’s reflection.”
The air fell quiet for a moment, and then the little beast’s delighted squeal was heard. “I really do not see myself! I am hidden! I do not have to be afraid anymore!”
“Mother, what can I help you with now?”
Qing Yu opened her mouth to reply. “Go down to Cloud Heaven to see what the situation is like down there and come back to tell me all about it. If you happen to see Little Bei, tell him that I am doing very well and that he does not have to worry.”
“Got it Mother! I will bring him the message!”
“Be careful with everything that you do. If you encounter any danger, remember to keep yourself safe first.” Qing Yu reminded the little beast.
“Rest assured Mother. Meatball is very good at this. As long as I do not encounter that scary thing, nothing will happen to me.”
After those words were spoken, the place fell quiet, and not a single sliver of noise could be heard. Qing Yu knew at that moment that the little fella had left.
Hopefully, they are all still well.
At that moment where Cloud Heaven’s intersecting borders sat, a good part of the day has passed and the sun was starting to show signs of setting.
In that period, there were some who did not believe that it could really be that difficult and had gone out to attempt to try to scale those glass steps. In the end, not a single one had come back alive.
“Damn it! Since we can’t even make it up those steps, we might as well all just leave! It is clear that the Mind Free Peak is just intentionally making things difficult for us!”
The person who said that was a young disciple from the Divine Healers Sect. One of his fellow disciple he had been close to had gone up there earlier and though he had not encountered that vicious attack, the glass steps below his feet had suddenly disappeared completely when he was just at the halfway mark, causing him to plummet to the ground.
That had really infuriated a good number of them. From what they could see, it was impossible for anyone to make it up there. With the strange stairs that disappeared, and vicious attacks that struck out of the blue, it was impossible to guard themselves against them.
