Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 313 - 313 60 The only present plan is

Chapter 313: Chapter 60: The only present plan is… Chapter 313: Chapter 60: The only present plan is… At this very moment.

Sky Stealer, who was still outside putting in work, felt a sudden sensation that there was enough space inside. He finally relaxed inside.

This time, it was much easier than the previous times. It was completed much faster than expected, and he would definitely escape in time.

With a pull of his green knife, a large hollow appeared in the tree trunk.

Sky Stealer dashed into the hole, then turned around and restored the bark to its original position. With the green knife in his hand, he flashed it and started to heal the damage he had caused. He completely fixed the outer bark of the tree.

In just a few seconds, the tree returned to its original appearance without any harm. Even the divine eyes wouldn’t be able to tell that this perfect tree was ever slashed open and had a large hole carved out of it.

What’s even more surprising is that the large hollow is still there.

At this point, Sky Stealer heaved a sigh of relief.

In his lifetime, he met many dangerous situations, but even in the most dangerous times, he used this method to escape, and it never failed!

After such an operation, it was unbelievable that someone could hide inside this apparently intact tree trunk.

Even the gods couldn’t think of it!

This was his most powerful treasure and the biggest secret, as well as his last card!

And this little green knife, his life-saving treasure, had the magical ability to steal and restore the vitality of trees. No one knew that he had such a counter-heaven treasure in his hand!

Ding Hou naturally relaxed, his body suddenly softened, and he sat down in the tree hole.

He was already extremely tired. After letting out a breath, his mental tension and the huge fatigue caused by the large consumption of spirit power overwhelmed him!

But for Sky Stealer, this feeling of weakness was not strange, but familiar, therefore he wasn’t worried at all.

But just as Ding Hou was about to take a rest, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened in shock!

Because . . . It seemed that the spirit power he had just consumed . . . wasn’t enough to create such a huge hole!

This hole seemed too big, almost as big as half a house….

What’s going on?

Sky Stealer knew something was wrong; he forced himself to turn around hurriedly and take a closer look. His first thought was, could there be some structural weakness inside the tree?

As he took a closer look, his eyes opened wider, almost popping out of their sockets!

Even though he had thought of the possibility of tree decay, it was still hard to imagine that there was someone…someone living in the hole he had just made?!!!

Holy crap!

In front of Sky Stealer, there was a man, and a cat.

The man and the cat were staring at him in astonishment!

Sky Stealer nearly passed out!

What the hell…what’s going on?

Did this tree get pregnant?

And gave birth to twins?

But that’s not right either, even if they were twins, they can’t possibly be a human and a cat, right?

No matter how shameless this tree is, it wouldn’t have a human and get a cat pregnant, right? It doesn’t have that function, and no one would have such a taste….

But this….

Sky Stealer could swear that even at the absolute worst moments of his desperate flight, he had never been this flustered, never this surprised, shocking him beyond belief!

Even if it is a dream, he has never dreamt of such a thing happening!

Feng Yin, on the other side, was also feeling the same way, in the same state, experiencing the same things.

He was even more flustered than Sky Stealer!

Because Feng Yin knew his own strength: I can’t beat him!

And what’s even worse, he can’t even escape!

At this moment, in this place, with this situation, it’s a never-before-seen nightmare!

But it seems that the other party is also in a dazed state, maybe…maybe there’s still a chance?

Sky Stealer gulped, blinking his eyes, wanting to say something, but his throat was dry.

Trying his best to speak, he looked at the stunned Feng Yin, asking, “You… are… still alive?”

Feng Yin blinked his eyes in response.

Sky Stealer broke into a cold sweat!

I actually met someone alive in a complete tree?!

This is too shocking!

And terrifying, isn’t it?

There’s certainly some room to move in here, but if you tried to make a real move, there wouldn’t be much space left to maneuver.

What should I do now? I’m waiting online, urgent!

And Feng Yin has the same feelings, only they were even more intense!

I met Sky Stealer in a tree.

I can’t beat him.

And he’s discovered me.

What should I do? What can I do?

I’m waiting online, urgent!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

In the tree hole, eerie tranquility prevailed.

For a moment, two men and a cat stared at each other wide-eyed, none daring to make any sudden move.

This tranquillity was disrupted only by the loud noises seeping in from outside, the howling of the wind, the flash of lightning and thunder resounding from mid-air, and the swaying of the great tree in the violent wind.

Finally, finally…

Inside the tree hole, Feng Yin, being a man of two lifetimes and having read countless novels far more fantastical and wondrous than his current predicament, came to his senses before the Sky Stealer, who was far more cultivated than he.

At times like these, to remain calm was the paramount means of survival.

And deception, the only solution.

If the deception failed, only death awaited.

Feng Yin quickly recomposed his shocked expression, revealing a faint smile, and said softly to Sky Stealer: “Sky Stealer?”

“!!”

Sky Stealer trembled all over, his hairs standing on end!

A layer of cold sweat percolated on his lean, monkey-like face, and his protruding eyes were filled with shock.

Damn… I’ve seen a ghost!

I’ve met a human being in a tree hole, an uncanny and unprecedented encounter, and this person actually recognizes me? Identifying me by name?

This…

Thunder and lightning rumbled even louder in Sky Stealer’s mind.

“Hmm… Ding Hou?” Feng Yin continued to smile.

At this moment, his warm smile was Physician Feng’s greatest weapon and also the only means to mask his inner unease!

As soon as the name Ding Hou was spoken, a storm raged in Sky Stealer’s heart.

“Ding Xiaoqian? The Landlord from Yuezhou?”

Feng Yin continued to smile.

“!!!”

Sky Stealer felt as if his world was spinning and turning pitch black. His eyes darkened!

Have I met a godly figure!?

I must have met a god!

Does he even know my true identity that I’ve kept hidden for so long?!

Do I have any secrets left to hide from him?

Even in the entire continent of Anping, besides myself, there’s nobody who knew of my identity as Ding Xiaoqian!

Even my wife, my concubines, all my partners… Nobody knew that I, Ding Xiaoqian, was Sky Stealer!

This is the greatest secret I’ve held in my heart.

This is my most significant asset for my secluded life!

Other than a godly figure, who could know this?

Thinking of this, Sky Stealer began to shudder all over, his eyes even filled with pleading: “You…you are…”

Sky Stealer could swear to the heavens!

At this moment, he was the most cowardly he’d ever been in his life!

But right now, he had no choice but to be cowardly!

The person across him appeared to be a celestial being, at least someone superior beyond his understanding!

Although this celestial being didn’t seem powerful, Sky Stealer still dared not make a move.

Those who know nothing have nothing to fear. But once they become aware and conclude that the other party has a mysterious origin, they would not dare to make rash moves!

What if the other party is merely concealing his real strength? What if he provokes the other party by acting rashly, causing the other party to launch a deadly bolt of lightning at him?

These were all possible outcomes!

My biggest secret was unexpectedly revealed without any prior warning!

Sky Stealer was panic-stricken.

“Dare to ask…Dare to ask…” Sky Stealer’s forehead was drenched with sweat, his demeanor pitiful.

Feng Yin continued smiling gently: “Do you want to ask who I am?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Sky Stealer nodded fervently, his forehead beads of sweat raining down with the vigorous nodding.

Feng Yin continued to smile faintly. He was a man who had lived through two lives, highly familiar with human weaknesses. He knew of those experts, their reverence towards superior beings beyond their understanding. Many plots in novels, many storylines, time and time again demonstrated this world where power was respected. The more powerful ones were even less likely to act rashly against forces unknown or unpredictable.

It must be said that Feng Yin was particularly adept at discerning the thoughts of those highly skilled individuals.

Understanding the situation clearly and comprehensively analyzing Sky Stealer’s current state, Feng Yin was fully aware of what Sky Stealer was thinking.

Therefore, the more flustered Sky Stealer got, the calmer Feng Yin became.

The more frightened Sky Stealer was, the less afraid Feng Yin was. He just needed to maintain his calm!

While it was alright for Sky Stealer to have wild thoughts and elaborate plans, Feng Yin was wary of him acting rashly!

At this time, the smarter you are, the safer I am.

“In your recognition, I am called Gentle, right?”

With a faint smile on his face and a dignified look in his eyes Feng Yin said, humorously, “Didn’t you come all this way just to chase after me?”
