449 Gathering Outside The Valley

Hui Ze felt that this young lady named Shen Ying might be a little problematic in the head, why would anyone call herself an immortal? But that she was willing to leave with him to search for an exit still made him heave a sigh of relief, after all the Sacred Nether Forest was really too dangerous. Though he did not know why she appeared here, but she had no cultivation and was a lady, even if she did have some divine power, she might not be able to escape from the claws of high level demon beasts.

He seemed to have thought of something and reached into his clothes, pulling out a pearl the size of a fist. Shaking it forcefully, the pearl released a white light after a moment and lit up the entire cave which was originally in darkness. After some thought, he then pushed the pearl to Shen Ying.

"Miss Shen, please help me hold on to it."

"Alright." Shen Ying took it.

Yet he began to dig around again, perhaps because he was too fat, though his entire body was squatting, he still did not manage to pull anything out for a long time. He could only draw his hands out then hugged his bulging belly like he was hugging a watermelon then lift it up at once and then jump up and down a few times.

Following a clatter, items fell out from under his belly skin one after another, forming a pile on the ground. There were artifacts, talismans, spirit stones, everything.

Shen Ying was speechless. Is there a cosmic bag under your belly?

"I found it!" Hui Ze delightfully picked up a crumpled piece of paper by his side and opened it up carefully. That seemed to be a map, there were crooked thin lines that were hard to read on it.

He stared at the map for a long time, then did some calculations while rifling his fingers and muttering to himself, joy creeping onto his face. As expected, he was right, he only needed to make it past the defenses outside the forest and he would truly be free.

"Miss Shen, where we are right now is not too far from the border of Sacred Nether Forest, if I have guessed correctly, this caves runs through the entire rock mountain, the exit should lead to the outside of the forest."

Shen Ying's countenance remained unchanged, but she still nodded and replied unconcernedly, "Oh."

Whereas Hui Ze continued happily, "Although this cave is huge, the terrain doesn't look to be very complicated, it should be rather easy to find an exit."

"Alright, let's go then!" Shen Ying turned and walked forward.

Hui Ze hurriedly picked up all the items on the ground, with Shen Ying around, he was too embarrassed to stuff them all back into his belly and could only hug them in his arms while quickly catching up.

He had calculated the distance earlier, they weren't far from the border, no matter how complicated this cave was, at the most, they ought to find the exit in half an hour's time, of course, that is in the situation where nothing crops up.

Two hours later.

"Miss, I think we were here just a while ago."

"Oh, then let's go the left side."

"We've already went there six times."

"Then the right?"

"We've gone to the right nine times already."

"What about the back?"

"The back is a dead end and we've just come from there."

"Err…" Shen Ying paused for a moment, then turned around and tapped her teammate's shoulder. "Fatty Hui! I think it's pretty cooling here, why don't… we just wait here for someone to pick us up?"

Hui Ze: "…"

I'm guessing you just don't recognize the paths? Also, what the heck is Fatty Hui? You are the one who will become for visiting.

Looking up at the other person, he questioned, "Both of you are… Miss Shen's friends?"

"No!" Lonemoon retorted right away, his expression darkening. "She's the creditor!" Children were all nuisances demanding their debt!

"…" Huh?

"I'll settle things with you later." Lonemoon ignored fatty and turned to give Shen Ying a glare, but habitually pulled out a table, chairs and cutlery, placing them right at the entrance of the cave. As if seeing that the ground wasn't very flat, he even used an elemental earth spell to even it out.

"…" Who were these people?

"Miss Shen…" He could only looked towards Shen Ying with a questioning look.

Yet he saw that she had already shifted to the Chef's side and was questioning him in a low voice.

"Chef, on your way here, did you pick up all the little animals?"

"Don't worry Master, all is good! Didn't even miss one out!" With that said, he even patted the storage bag beside him.

"Great Chef, put a big one on the grill."

"Yes Master, no problem Master!"

"Fatty Hui, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Hui Ze: "…." My name is Hui Ze!

Lonemoon: "…"

Damn! Turns out all those demon beasts on the way had been hunted for her? He was wondering why Chef insisted on going down to pick them up!The Chinese terms for 'Fatty Hui" and 'become fat' have the same intonation, there is a wordplay on his name to mean that he will become fat.
