<h4>Chapter 298.1: Danger Averted, Problem Unraveled</h4>


    “This ce..... is able to iste the presence of your aura from outside?”


    Qing Yu’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as her hands reached up to her shoulder to bring the little creature before her. “Are you saying that people outside are not able to sense who is inside here?”


    “Yes.” Meatball nodded its head innocently. It then seemed to discover the predicament the youngdy was in at that moment where it then blinked its eyes at Qing Yu in puzzlement. “What happened to Mother here?”


    “As you see.....” Qing Yu said a little helplessly as she ruffled the little beast’s ears. “I am trapped here, and have no way of getting out.”


    Hearing that, the little beast’s eyes peered around for a while, before it slipped itself into the water with a soft ssh.


    “Meatball!” Qing Yu was shocked by the little beast’s sudden action and she quickly turned her eyes to look down into the water frantically.


    The water was actually not deep, barely reaching up to just over her chest. Although the water was red as blood, it was however clear and unclouded, allowing one to see through it thoroughly, the view below the water’s surface unobstructed.


    Gazing down through the water, Qing Yu saw the little fe hovering around her ankles as it approached the shackles inquisitively, and it even stretched out a paw to touch it gingerly as well.


    Qing Yu’s heart jumped immediately, watching the little beast intently. Fortunately, the little fe was not hurt.


    The little beast looked at the shackles for a short while more and came to discover something strange.


    “Mother, the metal ring is so big. Why can’t you just pull your feet out?”


    The width of the ring was at least one time wider than her ankle and she would only need to change her foot’s angle slightly to free herself from them.


    Upon hearing that, Qing Yu could not help but let out a resigned sigh. “Do you think I have not tried that?”


    After she said that, Qing Yu summoned up her spirit powers to shrink her ankles. She was just about to pull her foot out when the metal ring reacted as if it had eyes, shrinking in size in tandem with Qing Yu’s ankle.


    It was only when Qing Yu’s ankle reverted back to its original size that the metal ring followed suit and transformed back, before it settled back into inactivity.


    Meatball’s eyes widened in shock by what it saw, seemingly unable to believe its eyes. It could not resist stretching out a sharp w, and was just about to try to slice it open.


    When she saw that, Qing Yu immediately tried to stop the little fe by opening her mouth to say: “Don’t touch it so carelessly. I still have note up with a way to free myself from them. Brute force will not work here.”


    Hearing that, Meatball could only retract its w reluctantly.


    But having not been able to be of any help, the little fe was feeling a little dejected, it stood there with its head hanging gloomily.


    Qing Yu was silent for a while and then suddenly seemed to have an idea, her eyes lighting up in a sparkle. “That’s right! Meatball, are you able to go out from here?”
