Xiao Ming and Yu Huang looked at where Huang Xie was pointing, but they found that they couldn’t see a single thing.
They carefully looked in the direction that Huang Xie was pointing in and found that there was just an empty spot at the bottom of the pond.
The two of them then looked at Huang Xie as if they were questioning his sanity.
Seeing this, Huang Xie immediately said, “Don’t you see it? It’s right there.”
But Xiao Ming came forward to place her hand on his forehead before saying, “There’s no fever? Could it be that you hit your head on the way down?”
Huang Xie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
Though there was a part of him that did enjoy the feeling of Xiao Ming’s hand on his forehead.
Yu Huang also saw this, so he quickly came forward to separate the two of them. He grabbed Huang Xie by the shoulder and pulled him away before acting like he was examining him too.
But the two of them could see the look in each other’s eyes, so Huang Xie threw him off right away.
Huang Xie pointed back at the spot in the pond and said, “It’s right there. Can you really not see it?”
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang looked at each other before turning back to shake their heads. They really couldn’t see what Huang Xie was referring to, all they saw was just an empty pond.
Huang Xie slightly knitted his brows when he saw this before turning back to look at the pond.
He could see that there was this skeleton that was sitting there cross legged at the bottom of the pond, yet they were saying that they couldn’t see it at all.
So was there something wrong with him?
No…then that meant that there was something off with this skeleton.
It was very likely that this skeleton had some kind of protection around it that was obscuring their vision of it.
Since that was the case, the only thing that he could do now was…
Huang Xie suddenly grabbed his shirt and pulled it off.
When Xiao Ming saw this, she immediately turned away and covered her eyes as she said, “What are you doing?”
Though she did peek through the slits in her fingers as he started stripping.
She was a young girl who was in puberty, so it wasn’t as if she wasn’t interested in these things. It was just that earlier, the situation was too embarrassing that she couldn’t take it.
In this situation where she could secretly peek, she would happily do so.
But Yu Huang moved forward to block her view before she could see anything else which made her a bit unhappy.
Still, Yu Huang did it since he didn’t want her seeing this.
“You’re trying to seduce her at a time like this? I won’t let you.” Yu Huang muttered under his breath.
There was also a part of him that wanted to start stripping as well to compete with Huang Xie, but he held himself back in the end.
After Huang Xie took off everything but his underwear, he suddenly jumped forward and dived into the pond.
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang were completely caught off guard by this, but they came forward to say, “What are you doing? Get back here! There’s no knowing what’s in this pond!”
But Huang Xie completely ignored them as he dived towards the skeleton at the bottom.
The two of them thought about following him, but when they tried…they found that they couldn’t even touch the water without feeling pain. It was as if there was something in the water that was rejecting them.
Yet they could see that Huang Xie was fine.
Why was that?
The faint layer of green light that was around him, that was what was protecting him.
That was the reason why he didn’t faint earlier and had been able to drag them out of the pond.
So the only thing that they could do now was wait and see what happened.
Perhaps there really was a skeleton at the bottom of the pond that they couldn’t see?
Huang Xie dove right to the bottom and then grabbed the skeleton, but he found that he wasn’t able to move it at all. No matter how he tried to move the skeleton, it was as if this skeleton was completely stuck to the bottom of the pond.
Huang Xie stabilized himself at the bottom of the pond and then started to pull with all his might, but even then he wasn’t able to do a single thing to this skeleton sitting there.
It really was like pulling at something that was completely bolted down.
However, with his strength as a cultivator, he should be able to pull out most things like this.
Eventually, Huang Xie had no choice but to go up for a breath. He could hold his breath longer than normal people as a cultivator, but that didn’t mean that he could breathe underwater.
Plus, he was straining himself by trying to pull up the skeleton, so he ran out of breath faster than normal.
After coming up for a breath, he didn’t get the chance to go back down again as he was pulled out of the water by Xiao Ming and Yu Huang.
The two of them firmly held him, so he didn’t get a chance to go back down.
With a bitter smile, Huang Xie asked, “What are you doing?”
Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes to say in a strict voice, “We should be asking you the same. You’re the one that suddenly jumped into this water without a word.”
Yu Huang nodded in agreement to this.
Huang Xie just calmly said, “You can’t see the skeleton, so I might as well take care of it myself. But it really is too hard to pull out, I couldn’t do anything to it.”
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang slightly knitted their brows.
They might not be able to see the skeleton, but they had seen Huang Xie pulling at it, so they knew that there really was a skeleton that they couldn’t see down there.
They knew that they should be helping him pull it out or at least trying to find out what that skeleton was.
Yu Huang was the one that suggested, “How about cutting it up? Or at least cutting up a bit of it to bring back so we can see what it is?”
Xiao Ming nodded in agreement to this before pulling out a knife for Huang Xie.
Huang Xie raised a brow in doubt of this, but he nodded in agreement still since he didn’t really seem to have any other ways. He had tried all that he could to pull the skeleton, but it just wouldn’t budge.

He knew how strong this skeleton was, so he didn’t think that cutting it would work.
Still, he had no other ways, so he could only give it a try.
But before diving down, he suddenly asked, “Why don’t you come down with me? We can work together to pull the skeleton out.”
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang revealed bitter smiles before saying, “We can’t go with you.”
“Why?” Huang Xie asked with one raised brow.
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang both explained the sensation they felt from touching the water and then had Huang Xie stick his hand in. When he did, there was a layer of faint green light that appeared around his hand that showed him what was protecting him from the water.
Huang Xie realized that there was something special about the water, but he couldn’t help looking at the skeleton.
If the skeleton was down in that water, then did that mean…
Huang Xie seemed to have realized something, so he quickly took a deep breath and dived back down again.
When he was down there, he didn’t pull out the knife that Xiao Ming gave him and instead suddenly punched the skeleton.
When he did, there was a faint layer of green light that appeared around the skeleton as well. This faint layer of green light was just like the one that was around Huang Xie.
Seeing this, it was as if Huang Xie confirmed something as he reached his hand out to grab the arm of the skeleton.
Once he grabbed the arm of the skeleton, Huang Xie started channeling the faint green light around him. The faint green light around him started flowing towards the skeleton and entering the skeleton.
Though when it entered the skeleton, it disappeared without a trace.
It seemed like this was futile as Huang Xie was just getting weaker and weaker from using up his spiritual energy.
But all of a sudden, there was a transparent figure that appeared in front of him. This was a figure that completely matched the skeleton, but this figure looked like a human instead.
That figure suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Huang Xie grabbing his arm before revealing a smile.
Without a word, he flicked off Huang Xie’s hand and grabbed Huang Xie’s arm instead. After grabbing his arm, that figure suddenly started flying up, pulling Huang Xie along with him.
That figure flew all out of the pond and just remained floating there in the air while holding Huang Xie by the arm.
That figure looked down at Xiao Ming and Yu Huang who were standing at the edge of the pond before suddenly saying…
“So which one is it?”
