My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 448: Picking Up A Fatty

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A few hundred miles away, a certain empty land.

Shen -professional in getting lost- Ying was seated on a large rock, a hand under her chin as she looked opposite at the... shabby looking, huge fatty, who’d just crawled out from the pile of weeds, sweating profusely.

Seeming like he didn’t expect to encounter someone, the man was stunned even his few hundred pounds physique froze, on the features that had already been squeezed together, a panicky and bewildered expression surfaced. He stood rooted to the ground, a piece of yellowed weed was still swinging before his forehead.

The two met eyes for a good while,

“Hey, good afternoon.” Shen Ying greeted.

“... Hi?” The man instinctively replied.

Yet Shen Ying had looked away, seeming not very interested and habitually pulled out a pack of pastries to munch on. The man remained unmoved, his entire body tense, his eyes filled with inquiry, as if recalling something, his eyes fixed onto her sleeves.

No... no drawing.

Looking to be reassured then, he heaved a deep sigh of relief, even his waistline instantly grew wider, making him appear even rounder. Thank goodness, thank goodness, she’s not part of the pursuing troops. He lifted his hand and wiped the perspiration on his forehead, his expression that was still stiff earlier gradually eased, relaxing his entire body, he dropped to the ground and panted.

All at once, the relatively small area of land was left with the sounds of his panting and the chewing sounds of a certain person. The aroma of the pastries drifted faintly in the air, causing the man to look towards the other’s hand.

Perhaps because his appetite had been whetted, the longer he stared, the stronger the aroma seemed to be, causing his mouth to water as if he had been possessed, his eyes remained glued. Yet he was too embarrassed to ask the young lady for some and could only stare, as the pastry in her hands lessened piece by piece, he subconsciously swallowed, letting out a very loud- gulp.

Shen Ying faltered and looked over with some questioning in her eyes, he instantly turned red, embarrassment flashed across his eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes, picked up the last piece of pastry and handed it over on an outstretched hand. “Want this?”

The man’s eyes lit up, staring right at that piece of pastry, he gave a hard nod, he hadn’t eaten for a few days already. Instinctively reaching out to receive it, he replied, “Mm mm mm, then...”

Before he finished his sentence, Shen Ying suddenly retracted his hand and stuffed it all into her widely opened mouth, with a speed twice as fast as earlier, she swallowed it all in a few seconds and even dusted off her hands at the end. “I’ve got none left too.” Heh heh, I refuse to give it.

The man was speechless.

His entire being was dazed, his outstretched hand was still frozen midair, and remained so for a long time.

He only came back to his senses moments after she’d done it on purpose. A hint of grievance flashed across the face that was as big as a basin, but there wasn’t any anger,.After all, the food belonged to her, he had misunderstood her, meekly retracting his meaty hands, he rubbed them together slightly embarrassed.

Appearing to have gotten enough rest a while later, he lifted he looked up at Shen Ying, saying, “Miss... are you not a cultivator?” Cultivators do not need to eat.

Shen Ying who was now munching on some fruits cocked her head to one side. “I’m not!”

“Oh.” He seemed to be even more relaxed as he forced out a good-natured smile, then reminded after seeming to have recalled something, “Demon beasts have always been spotted in this forest, Miss, you have no cultivation and all alone, you better not stay here, leave as soon as possible.”

“It’s fine.” Shen Ying shook her head, completely nonchalant. “I’m waiting to be picked up.”

“....” What does waiting to be picked up mean?

The man was baffled, seeing that she had no intention of getting up, he could only stand up and prepare to leave. After taking just two steps out, he was still worried and turned back to suggest, “Miss, why not you leave with me, on top of demon beasts, there are also disciples of the Imperial Sacred Sect patrolling this forest, if they find you, they won’t let you off.”

“Imperial Sacred disciples?” Shen Ying tilted her head.

“Yes, this is the Sacred Nether Forest, forbidden territory of the Imperial Sacred Sect, people have been prohibited from entering all along.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t dismiss me so easily, even the regular disciples who patrol here are all of Golden Core cultivation and above, if they see you here, they won’t listen to your explanation.”

“The Imperial Sacred disciples that you’re referring to, are they those dressed in white, with several circles drawn on their sleeves?”

“Those aren’t circles.” The man corrected. “That is the Sacred Fire weave.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying suddenly lifted her finger and pointed to her right front. “Like those two?”

The man was stunned, then abruptly turned back, before he spotted two black dots far in the sky, flying in their direction. He instantly turned pale, terror slowly filled his eyes. He reached out and tugged Shen Ying off the rock. “Quickly hide!”

With a turn, he hid both of them behind the rock, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed out like a shower head, his entire being started to tremble. Moments after, he stood up again, as if knowing that such a small rock wouldn’t being to hide them from the sight of the two people approaching, and definitely wouldn’t be able to block their search using divine powers. His expression became more frantic. “What do we do? What do we do? They’re gonna spot us in a second, they would definitely find us.”

Looking all around, he realized that it was a huge rock wall behind them, yet they were being forced to retreat when there was absolutely nowhere to retreat to. Watching as the two people came closer and closer, he hammered the rock helplessly. “Why isn’t there a place to hide at all!”

To hide?

Shen Ying glanced at the fatty who was spinning around like a moving meatball, then swept a look at the rock wall and narrowed her eyes. Then looking up, she lightly slapped the rock wall, her form similar to how the fatty had done so earlier.

In the next moment, a loud rumble sounded, the entire rock wall instantly sank in, a crack extended downwards, even the ground had been split open, just like an earthquake, the entire world shook.

A crack more than two meters wide appeared by their feet, as if it was about to rip the entire forest up, it continued to extend forward.

The man was speechless.

What was going on?

(⊙_⊙)

“Oh, I found a cave!” Shen Ying pointed at the collapsed entrance and exclaimed in all seriousness.

“...”

Are you sure it was found, this obviously something that you smashed and created?!

“We can hide now, let’s hide!” Shen Ying crawled directly into the cave.

After creating such a loud din, was there still any use in hiding now?

The man wanted to cry but had no tears, turning back to glance at the two figures in the air that seemed to have stopped moving, he gritted his teeth, deciding to throw everything to the back of his head and turned to follow her into the cave, then, he was... st... stuck...

His tummy had been caught in a circle of rubble, his upper half was in, but his lower half wouldn’t move no matter how he tried to push. He forcefully kicked his feet against the ground to boost himself but still failed. He could only reach out to the person inside. “Miss... p.. pull me.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying turned back and glanced at him, then reached out, held his wrist and tugged lightly. Following another rumble, he made it in and the entrance had also collapsed, the broken stones fell and blocked the hole.

The man realized that the interior of this rock wall was hollow after entering, it was very spacious.

Recalling what had just happened, he looked at the lady before him with disbelief, what happened to not being a cultivator?

As he was about to speak, a whoosh came from outside, shivering as the terror in his eyes grew he did not even dare to budge an inch. He even wished he could stop breathing.

Sure enough, sounds of landing came from outside in the next moment, coupled with two unfamiliar male voices.

“Did Senior Brother manage to trace his presence?”

“No. My searching spell suddenly had no reaction, I wonder where he is hiding?”

“That’s odd, we followed him all the way, how did he disappear? Has it got to do with the strange earthquake earlier?”

“It’s possible, let’s continue to search around nearby.”

With that, two swords riding away sounded from outside.

Shen Ying turned to look towards fatty but saw him hurriedly making a shushing gesture, indicating for her to keep quiet.

As expected, in less than five minutes, the two male voices sounded again.

“Could it be that he really isn’t hiding near here? But for a person with no cultivation, the furthest he would be able to walk would be here.”

“Senior Brother, just in case, let us go back the same way and search again, who knows he might not have made it here.”

“Mm, you’re right, let’s go!”

The duo left again, but fatty still did not dare to move, looking nervous as he continued to listen on for any sounds from outside.

This time, more than ten minutes passed before the two voices sounded again, cursing with exasperation.

“Damn it, I didn’t think we really let him escape!”

“What do we do, with him leaving, Yu Uncle-Master...”

“It’s impossible that he managed to escape by himself, he must have had help, we’ll go back and report this to Sect Master before anything else!”

With that said, these two people finally left, fatty who had stood stiff for a good half an hour finally exhaled, his entire being seeming as if he had gone through a battle, sprawled on the ground as he panted heavily.

Shen Ying stole a look at him before continuing to nibble on her fruit. The crunching sound was especially resounding in the stone room.

“They should have left.” the Fatty panted for a long while before pushing himself to sit up, he sent a grateful smile to her, but ending squeezing his face such that the flesh on his face shook. “If it wasn’t for you, we would have been caught.”

“Oh.” Being caught might be a little hard, being lost would be easier.

He looked around and continued, “They might still be standing guard outside, we can’t leave through the original path, this stone cave is huge, there must be other exists, why don’t we search around.”

“Mm.” Shen Ying had no objections.

Fatty then stood up and said merrily, “Oh yes, my name is Hui Ze, may I know how to address you?”

“Shen Ying.”

“So it’s Miss Shen.” He cupped his fists politely, his eyes slightly bright, he hesitated for a moment before he sighed. “Miss Shen, were you... born with this divine power?”

Shen Ying paused in her steps, turning back to glance at him, her eyes narrowed. “That’s not divine power.”

“Then?”

“I am an immortal.”
