Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: A Step Away, As If Separated By A Chasm (3rd Update)

Especially the younger girl, whose age was very close to that of Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian.

Moreover, her appearance was extremely delicate and lovely.

Children always like to play with peers.

Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian were no exception.

Therefore, the two little girls kept looking at the opposite side with their bright, twinkling eyes.

When the little girl saw the fervent gazes of the two young misses, her eyes also lit up, and then she revealed a delighted smile.

However, the young lady looked over at Xue An’s side with a wary glance and then whispered something.

The brightness in the little girl’s eyes gradually faded, and she lowered her head.

At that moment, the dishes the young lady had ordered were successively brought to the table.

The two girls began to focus on eating their food.

It must be said, although they ate quickly, their movements were still filled with grace.

This was a kind of temperament that seeped out from their bones, something that couldn’t be feigned.

Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, feeling somewhat disappointed, said to Xue An, “Daddy, why doesn’t that miss want to play with us?”

Xue An smiled faintly, “That’s because… some people venture out at great risk, naturally, they are filled with caution towards everyone!”

Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian didn’t understand the meaning of Xue An’s words.

They just felt a little sad.

Because they really wanted to play with the little girl opposite them.

Even Quintina couldn’t help being curious about the origins of these two girls.

“Master, they…,” she began.

Xue An shook his head.

Quintina closed her mouth.

If the master didn’t speak, there must be a reason for it. It was better not to ask any further.

The two girls ate very fast, and soon, they had cleared all the dishes on the table.

“Sister, I’m full!” the little girl said softly.

The young lady nodded and then called for the waiter.

“Please make another portion for us, we would like to take it away!”

“Of course!”

The waiter went to instruct the kitchen to prepare the food and meanwhile brought over a few desserts.

Only then did the young lady’s face relax a little, and she rarely showed a smile.

The two girls just ate their desserts and waited quietly.

Finally.

A boy around seventeen or eighteen years old couldn’t resist approaching them, and with some shyness said, “Excuse me, Miss, my name is John, may I get to know…”

Before the boy could finish his hesitant speech,

the young lady’s expression instantly became tense, and then she shook her head, “I’m sorry, I can’t!”

The boy was so bluntly rejected that he became a bit stunned and after a while managed a forced smile, “Alright, please believe me, I really mean no harm!”

But the young lady, like a startled rabbit, placed a few banknotes on the table, then grabbed her sister’s hand, stood up, and rapidly made her way outside.

“Miss, here is the food you wanted to take away…” At that moment, the waiter just happened to come out with the package, saw the girl’s panicky retreat, and hurriedly called out.

But the young lady ran even faster, practically fleeing the scene.

The boy was somewhat dumbfounded; he had never expected that a simple attempt at conversation could provoke such a huge reaction from the young lady.

Many other people also looked at each other, perplexed.

Wasn’t the young lady’s reaction a bit too extreme for just an attempt at conversation?

At this moment, Xue An spoke with a smile, “Have you all eaten your fill?”

An Yan nodded, “I’m so full!”

“If you’re full, then I shall take you to see the excitement,” Xue An said calmly.

“What’s all the commotion?” Xiang Xiang asked.

Xue An smiled, “Naturally, it’s the commotion about those two young girls!”

Outside the restaurant.

The London sky began to drizzle again.

On the streets, most of the pedestrians carried black umbrellas, walking at a comfortable pace.

For them, it was an everyday occurrence for it to rain in London; it would be news if it didn’t.

Thus, they were used to it.

But on this rainy night, a young girl was running through the streets, her hand tightly holding her little sister’s, as if she were a startled bird, their pace astonishingly fast, leaving behind traces of afterimages.

As they whisked past, the disturbed droplets of rain made many pedestrians wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Finally, they arrived at a quiet street far from the bustle of the city center.

They leaned against a wall, warily observing the surrounding night. After a long while, the older girl let out a long sigh of relief.

“Sister, have the bad people caught up to us?” the little girl asked, her voice tremulous and uneasy.

The older girl shook her head, “I don’t think so, I haven’t sensed their presence.”

“Sister, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have craved steak. If we had stayed at home, this would have never happened,” the little girl said with a downcast expression.

The older girl tenderly stroked her sister’s head, “It’s okay, don’t talk about it. Let’s hurry home. The elders will be so worried if they find out we’ve gone missing!”

The two girls were about to leave the alley.

The falling raindrops suddenly ceased.

The world around them also fell silent.

It was as if a membrane had enveloped the entire alley, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

The older girl’s expression changed dramatically, she exclaimed in a panic, “Hold on tight to me!”

The little girl turned as pale as death, clutching her sister’s hand firmly.

The older girl dashed toward the entrance of the alley like an arrow released from a bowstring.

She moved so fast, the night itself seemed to quiver slightly.

But just then, a voice full of greed and delight sounded.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such fine goods!”

At that moment, the older girl had almost reached the mouth of the alley, merely a step away from bursting onto the street beyond.

But that step proved as vast as a chasm, utterly impossible to cross.

In desperation, she raised her hand, and streams of dark radiance began to converge in her palm, then she chopped at the barrier.

No matter how she hacked at it, the thin screen of light only trembled slightly, showing no sign of breaking.

Another voice came, “It’s no use. Even your elders can’t break through this Barrier of Light, let alone the two of you!”

The older girl’s face gradually filled with despair.

As the voice spoke, two clergymen dressed in purple robes slowly approached from deep within the alley.

Behind them followed a man in a scarlet robe.

Despair washed over the girl completely.

Two purple-robed church officials, one scarlet-robed Executor!

Such forces were beyond her power to contend with.

At that moment, all three of them were looking at her with blatant greed.

“Such a rare and perfect piece! Bishop John will be most pleased!”

“This little one isn’t bad either. Many gentlemen have a taste for such! To raise her slowly until she matures, that would be quite a delicacy.”

They discussed openly and without restraint, while the girl became increasingly pale.

Then she clenched her teeth, a determined look flashing in her eyes.

“Little sister, it might hurt a bit soon, but you need to be strong!”
