Qin Menger, the Qin Family woman, promptly had a slight change in her expression. She intentionally examined the handsome Chu MuâŠ
âYouâre willing to help the Chu Family?â asked Qin Menger.
âYes.â Chu Mu nodded his head.
âYoung lady, perhaps you shouldnât trust them so easily.â said Old Teng.
âBut how will we believe them then?â asked Qin Menger.
Qin Menger really did want to help the Chu Family. Unfortunately, Old Teng wasnât willing to do it, so if there was someone truly willing to help, then it couldnât be better.
âI am Wogu Cityâs Great Chu Familyâs Chu Chen. Iâve heard that Luo Regionâs Chu Family is in a desolate condition. While travelling, I happened to come here to take a lookâŠâ Chu Mu quickly composed a lie.
It wasnât that Chu Mu wanted to hide his true identity, but it was that Chu Mu knew that news of his death had already become a fact for everyone. Moreover, it had been four years, and Qin Menger and Old Teng didnât trust him. If he were to further say that he was Chu Mu, they wouldnât believe him even more. Thus, Chu Mu decided to create a suitable identity.
âOh? So you are someone from Wogu Cityâs Great Chu Family. It seems that the Chu Family can be saved this time.â Qin Menger seemed rather simple and instantly believed Chu Muâs words.
âYoung lady, perhaps we should be more cautiousâŠâ Old Teng promptly reminded her. He still didnât quite believe Chu Mu.
âUncle Teng, we canât help the Chu Family, but we canât stop others from helping them.â said Qin Menger.
âThis⊠fineâŠâ Old Teng let out an awkward expression, but seeing that this young lady was already so determined, he couldnât really say anything more.
âWhy didnât you inform the Chu Family people in the vicinity?â confusedly asked Chu Mu. He remembered that in the nearby cities there were Chu Family properties. Qin Menger should have warned the Chu Family people in advance, in order to let them prepare.
âThere are no Chu Family people in the vicinity. If we could have warned them, we would have already.â said Old Teng.
âThere arenât?â Chu Mu was stunned. He had not expected for his family to have degraded into such a state. In the nearby cities, there werenât any of his familyâs factionsâŠ
âThen, when do they plan on making a move? Where is the Chu Familyâs caravan right now?â Chu Mu continued to ask.
âIâve already sent my subordinates to scout it out. Itâll probably be a day before I know, but I would guess that they plan on attacking outside Manyin City, in Manyin Forest. How about this, you two can come with me to Manyin City and, after we wait for the concrete information to reach Manyin City, we can proceedâŠâ said Qin Menger.
âYoung ladyâŠâ Old Teng promptly whispered softly in her ear, ostensibly hoping for her to be more careful and for her not to tell everything to these strangers.
Yet, Qin Menger didnât really care; she seemed to really trust Chu Mu. Thus, after speaking with him, she wore a smile and returned to her own roomâŠ
âYoung master Chu, do you remember this Qin Family young lady?â Once Ting Yu saw that the Qin Family people had returned to their rooms to rest, she asked Chu Mu a question.
âMhm, I remember now.â Chu Mu nodded his head. In his mind surfaced the appearance of a small young lady who always loved to have a simple and sweet smile on her face.
Chu Mu really didnât recognize who this Qin Family girl was at first. But after carefully checking her out, he gradually began to recognize that this young lady, Qin Menger, seemed to be that same harmonious and young Qin Family girl whom he knew well. From his memory, this young girl would often run into his courtyard and light it up with her tinkling laughterâŠ
Four years later, this Qin Family young woman had grown into a beautiful woman, radiating with an elegant aura. If it werenât for her pure and simple temperament, Chu Mu probably wouldnât have connected the Qin Family young girl with the young lady who gave others a rather breathtaking feeling.
âThat young lady is very pretty.â Ting Yu profoundly praised as she intentionally glanced at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu also agreed and nodded his head, saying: âMhm, she really is good looking. You arenât bad either.â
Ting Yu originally wanted to understand the past relationship between Chu Mu and Qin Menger but didnât expect that Chu Mu would subtly drop this line. Instantly, her face flushed red, and she hastily walked ahead of him to her room. In a slightly flustered manner, she arranged Chu Muâs bed.
Just like the past Ting Yu that Chu Mu knew, she maintained her changed appearance within Nightmare Palace. It wasnât until she left Nightmare Palace that she revealed her original appearance.
In three years, Ting Yu had changed a lot. At least in Chu Muâs opinion, she was a beautiful woman, much better than the degenerated Xin Xue.
Since he maintained his habit of not sleeping, Chu Mu used seventy percent of his soul power to feed the White Nightmare, before he began to silently cultivate in order to recover his soul power quicker.
After reaching the seventh remembrance spirit teacher level, Chu Mu only had to use seventy percent of his soul power to feed the White Nightmare.
However, summoning a soul pet once required at least a tenth of his soul power. If only thirty percent of Chu Muâs soul power remained, he could only use it to summon, and he could not use any soul techniques.
âWuwuâ
Little Mo Xie lay on Chu Muâs shoulder, adorably yawning while in a drowsy state.
âGo to sleep. Thereâs going to be a fight very soon.â Chu Mu stroked little Mo Xieâs head and spoke to her.
âWuwuâ once a fight was mentioned, little Mo Xie was immediately excited. It had been nearly a month without fighting, and Mo Xie had been dispirited and downcast over these past few days. She lazily gnawed on her claws to prevent it from going dull because of a lack of fights.
âEat a soul core before sleeping. Donât get too excited.â Chu Mu retrieved a sixth grade beast fire dual attribute core to feed Mo Xie.
After little Mo Xie had finished gnawing on her midnight snack, she curled up and jumped into Chu Muâs embrace. She shifted her small bottom and, after setting down her six beautiful and small tails, she found a comfortable position to sleep.
Chu Mu continued to sit on the bed, cultivating. He did this until near daybreak, upon which he put Mo Xie beside him and fell asleep.
On the morning of the second day, when Chu Mu and Ting Yu woke up, the Qin Family people had already prepared their carriage, and were about to head towards Manyin City.
âWhere are your people?â asked Old Teng as he glanced at Chu Mu and Ting Yu.
âWhat people?â Chu Mu confusedly asked.
âOf course itâs the people who will be undertaking the task. Could it be that you two immature and inexperienced people want to deal with the Yang Familyâs experts?!â Old Teng snapped back.
âUncle Teng, your mannerism doesnât need to be so serious.â Qin Menger immediately advised Old Teng. Her gaze shifted to Chu Mu and quietly said: âThis young master Chu Chen, you didnât bring a servant to protect you when you went traveling?â
Chu Mu looked at Qin Menger and shook his head saying: âNo, I will be undertaking the task.â
âYou? Brat, are you joking with us? The Yang Familyâs Li Nan is someone who even I have difficulties dealing with. You inexperienced brat, this is no different from you committing suicide!â Old Tengâs temper immediately rose!
It wasnât that Old Teng looked down on Chu Mu. In reality, in Gangluo City, there werenât that many young experts who had reached the spirit teacher realm before reaching twenty years of age. Moreover, even if one was a spirit teacher, the Yang Familyâs Li Nan had two commander rank soul pets whose phase and stage wasnât low. If one didnât have a bit of qualifications, he or she wouldnât be his opponent.
From the start, Old Teng didnât believe that the person who would help the Chu Family would be this young man. Instead, he had believed that it would be this young manâs henchman. Who would have expected that this young man simply didnât have a henchman? Additionally, he shamelessly claimed that it would be him that would undertake the task.
âOld geezer, control your temper! Do you know who my familyâs young master is? If you are to truly provoke my familyâs young master, your Qin Family will henceforth disappear from Gangluo City!â Ting Yu was rather angry as she spoke.
Old Teng had been rude and contemptuous several times, making Ting Yu feel discontented. Presently, there wasnât anybody in Nightmare Palace who didnât know the name of Eternal Oceanâs Nightmare Prince, Chu Mu. In this entire Luo Region, there probably wasnât another young person who was Chu Muâs opponent, so why would this old servant from the Qin Family be anything significant.
âYou!!â Old Teng was immediately angered by Ting Yuâs fierce words. His face trembled, and it seemed as if he was about to explode.
âUncle Teng, donât get angry. We were wrong at first. I will apologize on his behalf.â Qin Menger gave a small polite gesture as an apology.
âThe Chu Familyâs matter is pressing. Letâs not senselessly argue here.â Chu Mu made Ting Yu back down.
Ting Yu had really been outraged on Chu Muâs behalf. What kind of a status did the Prison Island King now have? Perhaps even the Luo Regionâs region lord would have to politely address Chu Mu as Nightmare Prince Chu. Yet, these people still dared to contemptuously look upon Chu Mu.
âSince weâre going to set out, if you two donât have a mount, you can ride in our carriage.â Qin Menger also had a pleasant temper, and she didnât bicker with Ting Yu over the outburst just now.
âThereâs no need; we have our own mount.â
A minute later, Chu Mu and Ting Yu appeared in front of the Qin Familyâs carriage riding the Gale Colt.
The Gale Colt wasnât like the servant rank soul pets pulling the Qin Familyâs carriage. Once it appeared, these servant rank soul pets instantly let out panicked expressions, narrowly jerking the carriage!
âA commander⊠commander rank Gale Colt!â
âAmong the wind type commander rank soul pets, the Gale Colt has the highest inherent endurance abilities. It turns out that the two masters of the Gale Colt that I heard strangers talking about were them!â
A few servants of the Qin Family had their eyes open wide. Their gaze unwaveringly stared at the eminently flashy Gale Colt!
When Old Teng saw this commander rank soul pet, he opened his mouth wide and couldnât speak for a long time.
Old Teng was able to see that this young master Chuâs status wasnât normal. Yet, he never expected for his status to be so important that a commander rank soul pet would be his mount. One must know that this kind of honor was only held by the family heads of the large families!
Qin Menger was also amazed. Her gaze intentionally swept across Old Teng, carrying a bit of blame in her eyes.
Old Teng also realized that he really had underestimated these two people. His face flushed red, and he awkwardly said to Chu Mu, â This young master Chu is so prodigal that he even has a Gale Colt as his mount. Could it be that you are the son of Wogu Cityâs Great Chu Familyâs family head?â
Wogu Cityâs Great Chu Family was the ruler of the entire Wogu City. They were on a completely different level than the great families of these cities. Recalling the servant girlâs arrogant words before, Old Teng realized that he really had encountered people with exceptional status. If he were to offend them, it could really bring their Qin Family a lot of trouble.
âHmph, how could the son of the Great Chu Familyâs family head compare with my familyâs young master?â Ting Yu harrumphed.
Ting Yuâs words caused Qin Menger to be even more surprised. Could it be that the young master Chu in front of them had a status even higher than the son of the Great Chu Familyâs family head? Who on earth was this young master Chu?
