Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Seeking dical Advice in Xuandu City (7)
Her face was slightly pale, and cold sweat was breaking out at her fingertips.
Ever since entering Xuandu City, the pain in the back of her head had been getting worse and worse, with countless fragnts flashing through her mind. Although she couldn’t see anything, the air and atmosphere here felt hauntingly familiar to Xiao Yu. On the way from the airport to the hotel earlier, she was absolutely certain she had visited several of those places before. Yet no matter how hard she tried to rember, she couldn’t recall a single detail.
She cautiously reached out both hands, inching her way forward step by step until she reached the floor-to-ceiling window. Though she couldn’t see anything, she could feel the warm sunlight streaming in from outside.
Once upon a ti, she seed to have reclined in a rocking chair just like this, with a tall man leaning softly by her side and a proud cat and an adorable dog resting at her feet.
Deep in Xiao Yu’s heart, a voice told her: she absolutely had to rember everything. Those mories were more precious than her own life!
The dead of night, An Family Mansion.
“How about it? Did you sense anything? Any hint of the owner’s presence?”
In An Yiqing’s bedroom, Xiao Hei’s round, glimring eyes were filled with eager anticipation as he gazed at Old Jin.
Old Jin kept his eyes tightly shut, squatting motionlessly as if in deep concentration. If at this mont his fur were to be shaved off, you’d see his brows twisted into knotted creases.
A mont later, he abruptly opened his eyes and shook his head dejectedly.
“No, still no trace of the owner’s presence.”
The hopeful look on Xiao Hei’s face instantly drooped, his eyes losing their sparkle.
The room fell silent. Under the moonlight, a cat and a dog sat dispiritedly on the carpet. Everything in the room, from its furnishings to its scent, was so familiar to them, yet the owner of the room hadn’t returned for far too long.
“It’s been over half a month since she went missing—how is it that we still can’t sense her presence? Old Jin, do you think it’s possible that the owner was swept too far away by the vortex?”
Old Jin shook his head weakly. “No, not unless the owner left Earth or went into another dinsion. Otherwise, I would surely sense the existence of her presence. As things stand now, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the owner is no longer alive. The second is that sothing has obscured her presence.”
“Obscured? I recall the owner’s brother once said that at the ti, the only items she had on her were a wristwatch, a necklace, and the bracelet Fatty Mao Er was guarding—bracelet?! Of course! Why didn’t we think of Fatty Mao Er before?!”
Xiao Hei’s tail suddenly began wagging frantically as he spun around in excitent. Even the previously disheartened Old Jin abruptly rose to his feet, his eyes narrowing into slits as he fixed a sharp gaze on Xiao Hei.
“Old Black, are you saying the reason I can’t sense the owner’s presence might be because Fatty Mao Er is involved?”
“It’s possible. Think about it, Old Jin! Normally, we’re all able to communicate with Fatty Mao Er using spiritual consciousness. Based on the usual bond, you and the owner are bound by a blood recognition pact, and Fatty Mao Er is bound too. Reasonably speaking, you two should be able to sense each other’s presence!”
“Damned whiskers! Of course! How could Master Cat have overlooked this connection? Fatty Mao Er should indeed have a resonant link with ! Even if the owner truly t her end, how could a bracelet, of all things, die? Old Black, are you saying that my current inability to sense even its presence might be because sothing’s happened to Fatty Mao Er itself?”
Adorable Xiao Hei blinked his large, round eyes and nodded cutely, his head bobbing like a doll.
“It’s possible. Suppose the owner isn’t dead. But by all rights, considering how fragile her body was at the ti, combined with being struck by that man’s palm and falling off the cliff… With the raging waters below, the only way she could have survived is if sothing protected her. That protector could very well have been Fatty Mao Er. However, given it had just awakened with limited energy, it might have damaged its own power while protecting the owner. As for the owner, it’s possible her presence has been suppressed due to certain issues.”
