Chapter 145: A Shadow on the Moon

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Why is there such a restriction? Why can't one just manipulate the energy around them? What is the logic here?

Questions floated in Fang Zhengzhi's mind.

This made him look at the lake once again. On the surface, a light breeze blew and the reflection of the fruit trees swayed.

The reflections moved with the water.

Is it because of the wind? The link between the pocket dimension and the world, the reflections, the different worlds and spaces...

Phrases kept popping up in his mind. Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to catch the link between them, however, he kept missing it by inches.

An introduction...

Yes, it needs an introduction!

An introduction was needed to link everything together.

”Zhengzhi... look up?!” At this point, Yan Xiu's voice rung out as he pointed at the moon in the sky.

”On top?” Fang Zhengzhi unconsciously raised his head to take a look.

And then, he saw Yan Xiu pointing at a faint figure on the moon. It kind of looked like a dark cloud.

Fang Zhengzhi had seen the same thing in the previous world.

The figure kept changing shape whilst on the moon.

As such, he was not too surprised initially. However, soon after, his eyes widened.

Because...

This figure was different from the previous one. The previous one took on the shape of various weapons, but this one was different.

It was a person, a lady, a dancing lady!”

”This was the lady you saw?” Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

”No, I didn't see a silhouette, I saw the real person...” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. He did not know if that was the real person, but it definitely wasn't a silhouette.

”Real person?” Yan Xiu was confused once again.

Fang Zhengzhi did not explain further. Right now, he was overwhelmed with emotions and questions.

What is the link between this silhouette... and the girl from the previous world?

Could this be her silhouette?!

Is this the silhouette that she has projected using the lake?

It could be explained, but all possible explanations were quite strange. They involved her real body being in a separate world from her silhouette.

If that was the case, then the shadow of the item which kept changing into different weapons...

Where was it situated?

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the moon, then back at the lake. All of a sudden, an audacious idea sprang into his mind.

”I would like to dive down once again to verify my hypothesis.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu and said seriously.

”Okay, I'll come with you!” Yan Xiu replied instantly.

”No, wait for me on the shore, I will tie a string to my waist. If I stop moving below, then... you pull me up!” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

”What are you thinking?” Yan Xiu could guess why Fang Zhengzhi was using such a method, but he didn't know what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to test.

”I don't know just yet, I will only know after I try it out.” Fang Zhengzhi really had no idea.

”Okay then.” Yan Xiu nodded.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at his surroundings. It was a habit of his to have some string on hand. He used it to lay traps and save his life when he jumped off cliffs. However, it was still not long enough, so he turned his attention to the surrounding fruit trees.

He found some slightly softer and flexible branches and rattan, forming a rattan rope with Yan Xiu's help.

He finally got it to the length he wanted...

He tugged at the rope to ensure it was strong enough.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi nodded to Yan Xiu and jumped into the lake.

Yan Xiu held on to the other end of the rope as he stood on the shore. He looked anxiously at the calm lake...

”Woosh!”

At this point, a head popped out on the surface. The moment he broke the surface, he began to pant.

Yan Xiu naturally heard this commotion and he looked in that direction.

When he saw who it was, his expression changed. It did not look good.

”Yan Xiu?!” The person in the lake also noticed Yan Xiu. His expression revealed traces of surprise. When he saw the orchard behind Yan Xiu, surprise consumed him.

The person who popped out of the lake was naturally Lu Yusheng. At this point, he found himself at a loss for words.

After all, the change in surroundings when he resurfaced was something that required time to process and accept.

Within moments, more heads broke through the surface of the water.

Upon seeing the change in the surroundings, they all looked on in disbelief.

Yan Xiu's expression was getting worse and worse.

Because...
