Chapter 130.3: There’s Treasure at the Bottom of the Lake
It was only when she went closer that she discovered that the little fella was plopped there soundly asleep, its delicate little mouth open like it was dreaming of something delicious to eat. A thin transparent sliver of drool was flowing out from the corner of its mouth as it dripped with a soft patter, forming into a tiny puddle below.
Qing Yu shook her head in amusement and she went over to carry the little fella up.
Although the little beast was asleep, but it was still alert as it quickly came awake. It was only when its smelled the familiar scent that it then let down its guard, to softly call out to its “Mother”.
“Shush, Mother will carry you over to the soft lounge to sleep. It is too cold there on the table at night.” Qing Yu cooed in a gentle voice, and then put the little beast down on the soft lounge that was quite near to the bed, even covering a blanket over it.
Although Meatball had a nice coat of fur to keep itself warm and was not afraid of the cold, but the young lady’s actions made the little beast feel highly touched. Its limpid wide blue eyes looked lovingly at her for a moment, but it could not fight off the dozy bug, its eyelids closing as it drifted back to sleep.
The little beast was not as active and wild as most spirit beasts but was obedient and quiet, usually either only eating or sleeping. What was strange was that it did not grow in size at all, but was still just a tiny fluff ball.
She really did not know what species of a spirit beast it really was, but she liked it quite a lot, so she just continued to keep it by her side.
She was just about to undress and go to bed when she suddenly froze in her actions, her gaze turning to a particular spot, her expression seemingly a little impatient before she went walking outside with light quiet steps.
Her sense of hearing was just too sharp, so she would always come to pick up noises that others were not able to hear.
It was the same remote courtyard where noody stayed in, but there was never a speck of dust throughout the years. Circle upon circle of ripples splashed across the lake’s surface, as if something had fallen into the water.
Qing Yu walked over there feeling a little suspicious. [It was probably that bunch of guys again. What could they really be up to coming all the way here instead of sleeping so late into the night?]
But when she got closer to the place, she did not see anything at all. Besides the ripples over the water’s surface, it was quiet without any other sound.
[Could she have heard wrongly?]
But as she was going to raise her foot to walk away, she felt a chill behind her back, the hair on the back of her neck standing.
The weather had been great the past few days and hence the moon was exceptionally bright and clear. But a huge shadow of something suddenly appeared slowly, gradually blocking out the moon, turning the surroundings a pitch dark black.
She sensed danger that made her skin crawl, like all her blood had suddenly froze, turning her already chilly body temperature an icy cold.
[What is that…..]
Just when she wanted to turn around to look, a hand suddenly stretched out from the edge of the lake and grabbed onto her ankle, quickly dragging her into the water. At that same moment, the enormous shadow flew fleetingly over the lake’s surface at an alarming speed.
