Chapter 740: Chapter 739: A Little Drinking Game, Jinling Thirteen Beauties
As a Cultivator at the Peak Divinity Transformation Realm, Huang Mao wouldn’t die from just having his head chopped off.
His head, which had rolled onto the floor, was filled with shock and terror as it stared fixedly at the woman in the qipao.
"Your Cultivation isn’t at the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
"You’re not a Human Cultivator!"
"Just who in the world are you?!!"
As he spoke, he tried to activate his Lifebound Magical Treasure to fight her to the death.
But the woman in the qipao was clearly far more professional, giving him no chance to resist.
She parted her red lips slightly and took a gentle breath.
A green arc of light, glowing with a faint halo, flew out from the stump of Huang Mao’s neck and drifted straight into the woman’s mouth.
This green arc of light was Huang Mao’s Divine Soul Origin.
Once his Divine Soul Origin was extracted, Huang Mao’s eyes rolled back, and he was completely gone.
The woman in the qipao chewed for a moment, her brows knitting slightly.
She was clearly not very satisfied with the taste.
She wiped the corner of her mouth, her gaze turning to the window and toward the Drunken Immortal Bar.
She recalled the young man in the bar earlier, the one who had proactively offered to help.
The expression on her face suddenly grew excited, and she licked her lips.
’What a fragrant scent... so pure.’
’Much better than this piece of trash.’
’Unfortunately, I can’t go back to the bar tonight.’
’Otherwise, those old geezers might figure something out.’
The woman in the qipao shook her head regretfully.
With a casual wave of her hand, a ghostly blue flame landed on Huang Mao’s corpse and head.
In the blink of an eye, the blue flame completely engulfed Huang Mao.
Not even a speck of ash remained.
Standing by the window, the woman in the qipao murmured softly.
"Little cutie, I hope we can meet again."
As her voice faded, her figure shimmered, distorting like a ripple in water before vanishing completely from the hotel room.
In a shady hotel like this, one that didn’t even require identity registration, who would care about the life or death of some nameless Loose Cultivator?
「Meanwhile, inside the Drunken Immortal Bar.」
Having broken the ice, Chu Sheng completely let loose.
It sat by the bar.
It constantly scouted for targets, then found excuses to get close.
Either it would pretend to mistake them for someone else, ask for a light, or accidentally bump into them and apologize.
The humanoid form created by the Spirit Beast Battle Armor would handle the small talk and distract the target.
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng’s true body would take the opportunity to fly out and sneak a bite from the person’s neck.
Just a small taste, and then it would leave.
The target would, at most, feel a little dizzy and assume the alcohol was just kicking in, not thinking anything more of it.
Before long, every Cultivator in the bar who was at least half-drunk, regardless of gender, had been preyed upon by Chu Sheng.
This included a few experts at the Integration Realm, who also completely failed to notice Chu Sheng’s subtle movements.
It made sense. People came to the bar to have fun and relax.
If they still couldn’t unwind and had to keep their nerves on edge the whole time, what would be the point!
Although Chu Sheng had fed on over a hundred Cultivators in one fell swoop, reaping a hefty harvest, it still hadn’t found an opportunity to get close to the few True God Realm Cultivators in the corner.
Those few were drinking very slowly.
They spent most of their time chatting in low voices, discussing some secret Sect matters.
If Chu Sheng’s true body got close, it would most likely be discovered immediately.
The risk was too high.
There was no need for it to take that chance.
It was just a bit of a shame.
’Forget it. I’ll feed on this last one and then slip away.’
’Tonight’s haul is already pretty good.’
Chu Sheng thought to itself as it aimed its proboscis at the last drunken Integration Realm expert.
[Ding! Absorbed 10 points of Divine Blood. Estimated digestion time: 20 seconds. Estimated gain: 1 point of Divine Essence.]
[Ding! A large amount of the Law of Darkness detected. Now automatically comprehending...]
[Ding! Host has comprehended a new ability—the Dark Realm.]
[Ding! Dark Realm Comprehension +200,000]
[Ding! The Dark Realm has been upgraded to the Law of Darkness!]
A series of system notifications rang out, and Chu Sheng froze for a moment.
’The Law of Darkness?’
In its memory, the Law of Darkness had only appeared once before—back in the Capital City, when the three great Life and Death Realm experts surrounded and tried to kill it. One of them, the Nether Scythe Emperor Luo Guocha, had used it.
At the time, Chu Sheng had directly summoned the Ancestral Witch Statue and the Insect Race army to crush and kill him.
It hadn’t studied the specific abilities of the Law of Darkness in detail.
It immediately pulled up the system panel to look at the description of the Law of Darkness’s Domain.
[Dark Domain: As long as the Host is within the Domain or in shadow, others cannot perceive the Host’s true strength or appearance. Your aura will completely merge with the darkness.]
After reading the description of the Law of Darkness, Chu Sheng’s compound eyes lit up.
It looked again at the few True God Realm experts in the corner.
A brilliant idea began to form in its mind.
The Law of Darkness could prevent others from seeing its true appearance.
This meant it could get right up close to those True God Realm experts.
And then, it could take them for a "ride"!
Although it couldn’t deploy the Dark Domain in the bar, this was a bar. The lighting was dim, shadows filled every corner, and partitions separated the booths.
Otherwise, wouldn’t all those men and women getting up to no good in secret be completely exposed?
The natural shadowy environment was more than enough for the Law of Darkness to take effect.
Chu Sheng took off its mask and hat.
Then, it ordered several bottles of expensive, top-shelf Spiritual Wine.
Carrying a tray, it slowly walked toward the corner booth where the few True God Realm experts were sitting.
The body it had created with the Spirit Beast Battle Armor looked no different from a human’s when clothed.
But if it took off its clothes, or if one looked closely at its skin, you could see a faint purple glow emanating from its entire body.
That was the color of a Soul-Collecting Butterfly.
Soul-Collecting Butterflies were naturally purple.
No matter how realistic Chu Sheng made its form, it couldn’t completely change this fact.
Under normal circumstances, this would easily arouse suspicion.
That’s why it had kept itself so thoroughly covered.
But now, under the influence of the Law of Darkness, the faint purple glow was completely concealed by the shadows.
The Chu Sheng others saw was no longer some weirdo glowing purple.
Instead, he was a cheerful and sunny six-foot-three young man.
If you had to say what was special about him...
It would be just one word...
Handsome!!!
This wasn’t to say that it was absolutely impossible for others to see through Chu Sheng’s Law of Darkness.
To see through Chu Sheng’s Law of Darkness, one’s own Comprehension of the Law of Darkness had to be higher than Chu Sheng’s. Furthermore, one would have to deliberately deploy their Divine Thought or Domain to investigate closely.
This was a bar, a place to get drunk and relax, not a place to fight and duel.
Who would be bored enough to keep their Domain active all the time?!
Besides, activating a Domain in a bar was a classic way to start trouble.
The moment you activated your Domain to probe someone, the bar’s security would come over and politely ask you to leave.
So, there was no need to worry about the risk of exposure at all!
Carrying the wine, Chu Sheng walked up to the True God Realm experts’ booth and stopped.
The True God Realm experts, deep in an animated conversation, all looked over in confusion when they suddenly saw a strange young man approach.
One of them, a portly, middle-aged man, frowned and asked,
"What can I do for you, young man?"
"Oh, nothing much."
Chu Sheng smiled, placed the Spiritual Wine on the table, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"I saw you gentlemen have been chatting for a while. Just drinking seems a bit dull, and it doesn’t look like you’re having much fun."
"I just learned a little drinking game that’s pretty interesting. I thought you might be interested."
The True God Realm experts, who had been engrossed in their plain conversation and drinking, were suddenly intrigued.
They exchanged glances, and each saw a flicker of curiosity in the others’ eyes.
The portly man raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest,
"Oh? What game is it? Tell us about it."
Chu Sheng gave a mysterious smile and uttered three words.
"Jinling Thirteen Beauties!"
