Chapter 960: Chapter 854 Meaningless Letter Paper
Qian Qin was a female disciple of an Elder of the Nightmare Demon Palace. Initially, she came from a fairly average background but was taken under the wing of the Elder by chance and became a female Spirit Master of the Nightmare Demon Palace. Today, she also enjoys a rather high reputation within the Demon Palace.
Spirit Masters have always been very popular, and they never lack friends. Many Strong Ones require the help of a Spirit Master’s fusion art in the late stage of multi-attribute Soul Pet training. The scarcity of Spirit Masters in the Nightmare Demon Palace means they place even more emphasis on nurturing Qian Qin.
…
Qian Qin came to Spirit City this time to represent the Nightmare Demon Palace in the contest.
However, what she never expected on her way to the competition in Spirit City was that she would encounter that legendary youth who should have already “lived” in the legends…
She was stunned!
When she called out the name Chu Mu, the shock in her heart made her completely unable to speak!
And Chu Mu’s face was still very dark.
Seeing that there was no one by Qian Qin’s side, he simply reached out, pulled her into the room, and with the same motion dragged in that disaster-magnet, then closed the door.
Chu Mu also knew that denying it was no use now; Qian Qin had seen him many times and had seen both his appearances, making it impossible for him to explain away.
As for killing her to silence her, Chu Mu couldn’t do such a thing, especially since he still owed Qian Qin a favor.
During the plague, under total unfamiliarity, Qian Qin followed him to Barbarian Valley to treat the plague. How could Chu Mu harm such a kind-hearted woman?
“You… you… you really are Chu Mu!!” Qian Qin’s heart churned with even greater tumult as she saw Chu Mu acting so sneakily.
King of the World – Chu Mu, when Qian Qin first met him, she only knew that this youth had unlimited potential. But then, after the disaster of World City, Chu Mu instantly became a legendary figure on the Divine Altar. Afterwards, Qian Qin often heard the Soul Emperors of the Nightmare Demon Palace recounting Chu Mu’s story in Immortal City from beginning to end.
From first being trapped in Immortal City, to unleashing the Holy Pet, then the half-demonized battle against the Four Great Leaders of Immortal City, to the arrival of Bai Yu, facing Bai Yu alone, and finally summoning the mighty Azure Sky Hidden Dragon to repel the strongest half-demon Bai Yu…
Now, in the entire World Realm, there was no one who didn’t know of Chu Mu.
And the most regrettable thing was that this epic figure had turned into a demon and disappeared from the realm of humans.
After listening to the whole story, Qian Qin felt it was both lamentable and honorable; she felt a bit of pride in having helped and known him.
But why would someone who should be commemorated so boldly appear in a city of the Wanxiang Realm, standing alive right in front of her!!
“Weren’t you demonized? Could it be that the rumors are false? Are they protecting you? But that’s impossible, Elder Ye Tao said you turned into a demon? Although I have never seen it with my own eyes…” A series of questions spilled out, and Qian Qin looked at Chu Mu, her watery eyes fixed on him, filled with shock, disbelief, joy, and mostly incredulity!
“This is a long story, have a seat first, and I’ll explain it slowly,” Chu Mu told Qian Qin to sit down.
Chu Mu actually didn’t really want to divulge too much to this woman with whom he was not very familiar, but if he wanted Qian Qin to keep a secret, he indeed needed a reason.
The reason was actually quite simple; Chu Mu didn’t directly mention the role of Monument Tears, instead, he said that his Soul Sense struggled and broke through, then he obtained a Spirit Item that lowered soul temperature, and after a long period of torment, gradually woke up.
Qian Qin didn’t know much about the half-demon situation, so she half-understood and half-guessed and nodded along.
Then, Chu Mu explained to Qian Qin the sensitive issues related to his identity.
Qian Qin understood what Chu Mu was saying; Elder Ye Tao had also mentioned that if he was still alive, it might really force the Soul Alliance Master and the Four Heroes to act to extinguish Chu Mu.
“In any case, even if it’s your teacher, you can’t reveal this to anyone. It must, must remain a secret!” Chu Mu said very seriously.
Qian Qin nodded earnestly in agreement and then sizing up Chu Mu, whispered, “Isn’t it a bit too ostentatious to maintain your original appearance and move around in the Wanxiang Realm?”
“…” Upon saying this, Chu Mu also felt speechless.
Really too flashy?
The only ones who had seen Chu Mu’s real face were from World City, and with the vastness of the Wanxiang Realm, the chance of Chu Mu encountering them was very low. Besides, Chu Mu would also deliberately disguise himself, such as dressing differently and getting haircuts. Generally, only people who had previous dealings with him like Qian Qin would recognize him.
Those who had really interacted with Chu Mu were actually very few; how would Chu Mu know that in this distant Wanxiang Realm, he would run into one.
After chatting for a while, Chu Mu finally understood that as a Spirit Master, Qian Qin was heading to Spirit City to participate in the competition.
It was said that the final victor of this Spirit Art competition would be able to obtain the recipe for a Seventh Level Emperor Spirit Item, which was undoubtedly a very generous reward.
“A recipe for a Seventh Level Emperor Spirit Item? With such a recipe, can one endlessly concoct Seventh Level Emperor Spirit Items and produce High-level Emperors?” Chu Mu asked with some surprise.
Such a recipe existing in this world, if it fell into the hands of a Spirit Master, wouldn’t it make it a snap to strengthen High Emperor Level Soul Pets?
“This formula is for one-time use. It is actually a fusion potion. Based on the scents emitted by this potion, the Spirit Master must find the corresponding matching Spirit Items, which requires certain judgment ability. With countless scents and potential Spirit Item matches, choosing the wrong one results in failure and the potion will be destroyed. Of course, experienced Spirit Masters usually don’t have an issue with matching Spirit Items, as long as they find this type of fusion potion formula…” Qian Qin explained.
With such an explanation from Qian Qin, Chu Mu had come to understand.
If mass production of the formula were possible, the average strength level of Soul Pet Masters should increase by one or two levels, and Soul Emperors would not be so rare.
Since Qian Qin was also heading to Ling City, Chu Mu planned to hit the road with her tomorrow.
Qian Qin was quite understanding. Before leaving, she used her Soul Sense to place a restriction on herself, a prohibition sworn upon her soul not to reveal Chu Mu’s secrets.
This kind of soul oath can only be self-imposed, and if reality contradicts one’s thoughts, the prohibition will cause great damage to the soul.
It’s considered a type of Soul Skill, and not many know how to use it.
However, Chu Mu had heard from Master Li that this type of prohibition actually had methods to break it, and it could not form real authority. It only had some restraining power between individuals.
…
…
Spirit City
Soul Temple in Spirit City Main Hall.
“Alright, I’ll keep it safe for you,” the Soul Hall Female Attendant nodded and carefully stored the letter, which was just a few lines on paper.
The one leaving the letter was a woman with beautiful eyes that could mesmerize anyone who looked at them for too long.
However, her cold demeanor, like autumn water in her spiritual eyes, added to her arrogant posture wrapped in a robe, and a rose collar that slightly covered her stunning side profile, all contributed to a sexy and exotic temperament that fascinated men while simultaneously making her seem unapproachable.
“Why bother? He won’t see it again. Such self-deception isn’t good,” the casual-looking man beside the woman commented as he glanced at the letter now put away, sounding somewhat helpless.
“Mind your own business,” the woman glared at him, sounding very unfriendly.
“Alright, forget I said anything,” Ye Wansheng said with a bitter smile.
After leaving Snow City, Ye Wansheng knew about her habit of leaving a letter at the Soul Hall in every city they passed through. Although she had maintained this practice for over two years, the persistence during the past year and a half had been meaningless.
Ye Wansheng was at his wit’s end with his stubborn younger sister, and he wasn’t even sure if the man with whom she had barely spent any time was worth all the years she was waiting for him.
Ye Qingzi continued to leave letters, which wasn’t a big deal, but what worried Ye Wansheng was the fact that his younger sister had become less and less talkative.
Since receiving that so-called “hero’s” message over a year ago, she went into closed-door cultivation for a long time. But ever since then, Ye Wansheng felt as though her mind wasn’t focused.
Sometimes, even he, her brother, found it difficult to share a few words with her. As for others, she was even less willing to speak, with a frost on her face that could freeze someone.
This was not good, and Ye Wansheng was very worried about it. He himself had plans to get married, and his younger sister had to marry someone too. With her current nature, plus her strength far exceeding her peers, he estimated that no one would be able to get close to her.
There was also a severe problem recently. In an effort to create higher-grade Spirit Items, she often harmed her soul during the process!
This self-inflicted soul damage led to consequences such as black poison spreading throughout her body, requiring a very long period of recuperation to recover.
A young beauty should value her appearance highly, yet in her impatience for success, she had repeatedly transformed herself into something even Ye Wansheng couldn’t bear to witness.
“You are not allowed to act recklessly these few days. If you hurt your soul again and it becomes irreparable, if that guy’s soul truly awakens one day and finds this place, will he dare to have you looking like a ghost?” Ye Wansheng solemnly warned Ye Qingzi, firmly forbidding her from pushing herself too hard.
Ye Qingzi didn’t say a word and indifferently drifted past Ye Wansheng.
Ye Qingzi was the person who knew the most about Chu Mu’s physical condition. She was very clear that if Chu Mu truly became a demon, there was no hope of him waking up, so she remained indifferent about the consequences of backlash.
Watching his disobedient younger sister, Ye Wansheng felt truly helpless.
Ye Wansheng didn’t know how to counsel her. On one hand, she would leave a letter in every city they passed through, as agreed, to continue to inform that person of her whereabouts with a glimmer of hope; on the other hand, she was completely reckless in her research of Spirit Arts, not caring about soul damage or poison backlash, as if her appearance didn’t matter anymore.
This inner conflict and extreme mindset gave Ye Wansheng an immense headache.
Ye Wansheng had always worried about Ye Qingzi’s personality. It was difficult for people to get into her heart, but once someone did, they could cause her great harm.
