Cheat Awakening

Chapter 250: Chapter 250. Myne's disappearance

"It's been quite late; why hasn't Myne returned yet? Normally, he always informs us if he plans to stay outside," Aisha said, looking at the clock on the wall, which read 9 o'clock.

"Yes, it is really quite weird indeed. Lord Husband never wanders outside at night. At most, he goes to Sister-in-law to stay with her once a week. Even then, he always informs us first. Today is really something wrong," Sylphy added, putting down her notebook and speaking with a frown.

"Maybe Myne is still on the road, traveling at night? He looked very excited when he left; maybe he wanted to go to the elf kingdom as quickly as possible," Amy suggested, meekly offering her opinion while making powder from herbs on the ground.

"Myne still on the road?"

"And that too at night?"

"Nah, this can't be possible. We know Myne very well. That guy is scared of darkness and ghosts like a little child. There is no way he would be travelling at night in the middle of a creepy forest," Aisha and Sylphy replied in unison, clearly showing that Myne is fortunate to have wives who understand him so well.

"Wait a minute, where is Waffle? He can contact Myne through telepathy, right?" Sylphy suddenly remembered Waffle and hastily said.

"Yes, you're right. Let me wake him up; he's sleeping in his house."

Saying so, Aisha quickly walked toward the kitchen, where a medium-sized movable doghouse filled with comfortable quilts and cushions was placed in a corner. Waffle and Ted were peacefully sleeping there. After numerous attempts to find Aisha's hidden compartment where she stored her previous cooking ingredients like honey, Waffle and Ted found nothing.

Still not wanting to give up, they directly sniffed their personal house, originally created for Waffle, so they could start their mission in the middle of the night. Later Ted also joined in because of their secret nightly activities, which were only a secret in their eyes. Everyone else long ago knew about it, including the newest member, Amy.

"Waffle, wake up. I need your help," Aisha gently shook Waffle's body, but he didn't show any response.

It seemed like I had to use that trick, Thinking such Aisha opened up two wooden frames on top of the Waffle House, revealing a small space underneath them. She picked up a storage bag from within and took out a small honey bottle. After placing the storage bag back into her secret compartment, which Waffle and Ted trying to find desperately.

"Finally, Waffle is sleeping. Now I can eat this honey alone, hehehe..."

"What, honey?! Who is eating honey...? Aisha! I knew it! You secretly eat honey at night, hiding from everyone. Now hand that bottle to me; otherwise, I will tell everyone about your evil secret."

Upon hearing about honey, Waffle immediately woke up like a soldier on the border hearing a bullet sound. He looked at the honey in Aisha's hand and directly threatened her with greedy eyes.

"Okay, here you go. But now, since you're already awake, can you please contact Myne and ask him where he is and why he hasn't come home yet?" Aisha made a face like she was scared by Waffle's threat and obediently handed him the small honey bottle. Then, she asked with a worried expression.

"Ahmm, sure, I'll do it immediately." Waffle nodded his head happily and quickly used telepathy to contact Myne.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Seeing Waffle's confused face, Aisha suddenly started having a bad feeling and quickly asked.

"I can't reach Myne. This has never happened before." Waffle confusedly replied while scratching his head.

"What do you mean you can't reach Myne..."

Bang, Bang, Bang...

Loud banging sounds at the door interrupted Aisha and Waffle's conversation. Aisha quickly walked out of the kitchen and showed Sylphy opening the door.

"Where is Myne?"

What greeted them were none other than Maya and Jin. Maya didn't waste time on formalities; she entered the house and hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong, Mother-in-law? You look tense. Is everything alright?" Sylphy, still scared from Maya, didn't dare to be carefree in front of her. She politely called her mother-in-law, a decision she and Aisha had made to avoid getting on her wrong side, and asked with a frown.

"Don't waste time. Tell me where Myne is. I can't sense his life signal. This kind of thing shouldn't happen unless he is dead. But the defensive magic on him still didn't show any sign of activation until the last moment of his disappearance, so his life shouldn't be in danger. But somehow, I can't trace his whereabouts, which is making me nuts.

Damn it, this time, this brat is done for. Hundreds of times I told him not to do anything weird, but that bastard never listens to me. This time, I'll break his legs so he won't be able to run wild." Maya angrily yelled while hammering her fist on the wall to vent her anger. However, she seemed to use too much power, directly blasting away and creating a two-meter-tall new entrance.

Shit, so powerful! Aisha, Sylphy, and Amy all thought simultaneously. The force was overwhelming, causing all three of them to take a step back in fear.

"Now, will anyone tell me where that brat ran this time?" Maya's anger was escalating with each passing second. Aisha, taking on the role of the elder wife, quickly explained Myne's whereabouts and the reason for his absence.

"Just a moment ago, I asked Waffle to contact him, but he said he can't reach Myne..."

"That little one is the child of the Divine Beast whom Myne saved and now lives with you, right?" Maya pointed at Waffle, who was happily licking an empty honey bottle.

"Um, yes, he is," Aisha replied, her mouth twisting at calling Waffle a Divine Beast, as he mostly behaved like a gluttonous child. Nevertheless, she answered honestly.

"If a Divine Beast can't reach Myne, and even my life-sensing magic isn't working, then there are only two possibilities. Either Myne is dead, which is impossible without me knowing, or there's only one possibility left..."

"And what is that?" Sylphy asked nervously, gulping down her saliva. She was extremely worried about Myne now.

"The second possibility is that Myne is no longer in our world..."

...

"Myne, what do you think we should do now?" Kane asked with a frown, observing the encroaching darkness just an arm's distance away.

"Grandpa, do you think there will be monsters or ghosts waiting for us if we enter this fog?" Tailar innocently asked, about to touch the fog with his finger when Kane pulled him back in a hurry.

"If you don't want to be eaten by monsters, then better throw away your useless curiosity. Who told you that you can touch this fog?" Kane scolded Tailar, who was about to touch the fog for the greater good. He then looked at Myne, who was casting various spells like Fireballs, Wind blades, Tornadoes, Fists of light, Fire pillars, and Water jets into the fog.

However, like stones thrown into the sea, they only made a small ripple for a second before being completely devoured by the dark fog.

"Sigh, how long have we been here?" Myne asked, looking up. The entire sky was pitch black without any stars or moon, let alone a sign of the Sun he longed for. Myne had to admit he never dreamed he would miss the sun so much in his life.

"Maybe half a day? We've already retreated quite a bit. Although our watches aren't working properly, having lived for so long, I can at least guess such a small thing," Kane replied, rubbing his forehead in a headache. With a deep sigh, he continued, "But I can't understand why there's no sign of the Sun yet, this fog shouldn't be able to block Sunlight right?"

"Maybe because this dark fog is so dense that Sunlight couldn't reach here. Myne, when did you wake up? I think you need to take more rest. You couldn't think properly without sufficient rest, and worrying about things over which we have no control is not the solution," Velvet said with concern, grabbing Myne's hand.

She and Myne, after discussing the dark fog and deciding on their next steps, finally decided to take some rest inside the carriage, while Kane and Tailar stayed outside to maintain distance from the dark fog. However, when Velvet woke up just now, she found no trace of Myne beside her, which made her a little worried about his condition.

"I just woke up. I had taken more than enough rest. Thank you for your concern, honey. I don't know what I would have done without you," Myne said tightening his grip on Velvet's hand, he gently rubbed her head with a forced smile. He then turned his head toward his backside seriously. After two minutes of eerie silence, he spoke again, making everyone tense.

"We are heading toward the town..."
