Chapter 2752: Return Quietly
She stood still and thought carefully. As she looked at the unfamiliar place around her, a place without her family and friends, she felt the sudden urge to return to their side.
After standing still for a long time, she took out the teleportation device from s.p.a.ce. There was no record of Penglai Immortal Island on the teleportation device that she had fooled and obtained from the old man. That was why she was unable to use the teleportation device to come here from Hundred Rivers City. However, she could use the teleportation device to return to Hundred Rivers City.
She lowered her head and raised her hand. She looked at her conspicuous red clothes on her body and thought to herself: Even if she did go back, she couldn’t go back in such a conspicuous manner. So, she went into s.p.a.ce and changed her appearance and attire from top to toe.
In s.p.a.ce, she wore a tattered beggar’s clothing, and her face had been disguised to make herself look ordinary and inconspicuous. Her whole body looked dirty and there were a few small holes under the soles of her shoes exposing two little toes.
She looked at her outfit and smiled inexplicably. Back then, it was this disguise that had caught the eye of Mo Ze. She had also used this disguise to move about quite often. Now, she felt that this disguise was the most inconspicuous and most suitable for her to move around in.
However, if she left like this, those people would no doubt go there to look for her again. She had to find a way to blur their vision.
Therefore, she thought of puppets.
She walked to the corner where a wooden box was placed and found a book on the art of puppets. She sat down on her knees and perused the book earnestly, learning the art of puppets from the book…
Three days later
She tied up ten scarecrows and wrapped a piece of her hair around each scarecrow and injected a strand of spirit intent into each of them.
“Phantom take shape, change!”
With the sound of her clear shout, she saw a flash of light on one of the scarecrows. Next, a young man in red robes who looked exactly like her appeared in front of her and blinked, watching her
She couldn’t help but was stunned for a while at the first time she saw herself transformed by the puppet technique. It felt very similar to her, and she was afraid that even Mo Ze and the others wouldn’t recognise this was a puppet, an illusion.
“Say something.” Feng Jiu smiled and said to the person in front of her.
“What do you want me to say? Is it interesting to talk to yourself?” The red-clothed puppet reb.u.t.ted Feng Jiu, almost instinctively.
Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled softly: “It’s fine. This is good, just like that.” With these puppets transformed from her original shape, those people would think that she was still here on Penglai Immortal Island. She could do whatever she wanted.
So, she set up all her puppets, and because her hair and spirit intent was on all their bodies, she was able to control their actions and words, and deeds. After she had finished arranging everything, she took out her teleportation device and thought silently about a forest outside of Hundred Rivers City.
With the thought in her mind, the light flashed and her whole body disappeared from the spot…
In the afternoon, there was a slight breeze blowing through the woods. As she walked through the woods, there was a little less heat and a little cooler because the trees covered her overhead.
The breeze blew, and the birds chirped. It seemed quiet and comfortable.
Feng Jiu, dressed as a beggar, picked up a twig from the forest, and a large bowl that was missing a section from somewhere, and walked leisurely into the city…
