Gangluo City
Chu Family Courtyard
A woman with a beautifully curved figure stood on the cobblestone path, her eyes fixed on the blooming flowers in the courtyard. She wasn’t paying attention to the flowers. but iust gazing at a certain spot. lost in thought…
“You’re back…” A slightly deep male voice came from the courtyard door next to her. A man dressed in a long robe, tall and strong but slightly thin, walked slowly towards the woman.
“Mhm.” The woman nodded, her beautiful eyes watching the man. Her expression changed a little, but it was fleeting and quickly returned to its original state.
“Where do you plan to go next?” The man asked.
“No plans anymore, but I won’t be staying here.” The woman said.
The man’s eyes never left the woman, his expression very complex, soft but mixed with a sense of helplessness and bitterness, “If you ever feel tired someday, come back.”
The woman didn’t speak and hesitated for a moment, her eyes seemingly uncertain.
“Just say whatever you want to say.” The man clearly understood the woman very well.
The woman looked at the man again, then finally spoke: “Tiancheng, this time I want to bring Mut er with me.”
Chu Tiancheng’s expression changed immediately. Though he tried his best to hide it, his emotions still showed.
“Mu’er has already…” Chu Tiancheng began to speak, but couldn’t find the courage to continue.
“What happened? Did something happen to him?” The woman’s emotions always seemed indifferent and proud, but her mood fluctuated only on this matter.
Chu Tiancheng let out a bitter smile, swallowed his words, and said, “It’s nothing, I just sent him to train outside. He won’t be back for a year.”
“Who is going with him? Can his safety be guaranteed?” The woman continued to ask.
“He is only going to some relatively safe places, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Chu Tiancheng said.
“Alright, when he turns eighteen, I’ll bring him to my place and hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for him, and let him formally join the Soul Hall. I will then guide him to become a true Soul Pet Master.” The woman said.
If it had been in the past, Chu Tiancheng might have frowned upon hearing these words, and then pondered deeply. But now all he had left was a sense of desolation and bitterness, and he nodded woodenly.
The woman seemed to think Chu Tiancheng agreed a little too easily and looked confused.
However, she didn’t think too much about it. Seeing Chu Tiancheng’s somewhat downcast appearance, she seemed to feel a bit of heartache, but didn’t know what to say. After a long time, she finally said:
“I can get the Soul Covenant to lift their ban on you. You should join the Soul Hall too, staying here…”
“Whether the ban is lifted or not, does it mean anything to me now? Just leave.” Chu Tiancheng interrupted her and turned to leave. “Then, two years later, I’ll take Mu’er and leave here…”
“I have no objection. I can’t even protect him right now.”
The woman looked at the retreating figure of Chu Tiancheng, and a ripple surfaced in her heart. In the past, Chu Tiancheng would never have spoken to her in this tone, nor would he have turned away before she finished speaking.
She sensed the abnormality of Chu Tiancheng today, seemingly hiding something.
Not thinking too much, she stayed for a moment in the courtyard, then summoned her soul pet, ascending into the blue sky, disappearing into the white clouds.
Next to the courtyard, Chu Tiancheng stood on the sky corridor, looking up at the departing woman, his expression dimmed again. The shadow of the eaves made this slightly desolate man seem even more lonely and melancholic. “The whole Gangluo City knows that Mu’er is gone. Apart from Mu’er occupying your heart, millions of people in this vast city are not worth your attention…’
Prison Island is shrouded in fog all year round. There seemed to be no changing of seasons, no lashings of storms, but there was always an endless drizzle. At this time, the entire island became extremely muddy.
In the island’s gray sky, one could always see soul pets flying by. Amidst the vast mountain range, birds would sing and beasts would roar, even some plants would suddenly stand up, stretch their limbs and flick off the water accumulated on their bodies.
The rain kept dripping down, washing away the pool of blood under the plants…
“The fourth one.” Chu Mu stood in the rain veil, slowly unfolding the bloodstained scroll.
Although Chu Mu stood in the rain, there were no signs of dampness on his body. Above his head were peculiar branches and leaves, which absorbed all the raindrops falling down.
Next to Chu Mu stood a peculiar plant. If not for the branches and leaves and the canopy-like top, it would look like a brawny man covered in muscles from afar.
“Demon Tree Warrior, you’re tired too. Go back and rest.” Chu Mu recited a spell and recalled the Demon Tree Warrior into the Soul Pet Space.
Chu Mu tamed the Demon Tree Warrior when he reached the Seven-thought Soul Master level. At that time, Chu Mu, MO Ye, and Ice-Feathered Spirit nearly paid with their lives.
When Chu Mu obtained the Demon Tree Warrior, it was only a seed the size of a walnut. The reason they paid such a heavy price was that the Demon Tree Warrior seed was guarded by a Demon Tree Warrior with a strength of the Fourth Rank.
Demon Tree Warrior: Plant World – Wood Type – Demon Tree Clan – Demon
Tree Warrior Subclan – High-level War Marshal
The Demon Tree Warrior is definitely a monster in the Plant World, with terrifying combat power comparable to many pure Beast Attribute soul pets.
The Demon Tree Warrior can be said to have the best of both worlds, possessing not only considerable strength, defense, speed but also the ability to wield the Power of Nature. The likes of Demon Tree Warriors, unless faced with soul pets with attributes that suppress them, have few opponents in the
War Marshal domain. Chu Mu was able to defeat the Fourth-Rank Demon Tree Warrior because MO Ye’s Demon Fire Evil Flame restrained the wood attribute, otherwise, Chu Mu’s soul pets could not break through the terrifying defense of the Fourth-Rank Demon Tree Warrior.
After getting the Demon Tree seeds, Chu Mu planted them in his Space Ring, using wood attribute soul cores to cultivate them. After it grew up, he signed a soul contract with it.
Now, the Demon Tree seed has grown to the same height as Chu Mu, reaching Third Rank, Second Stage. Of course, Chu Mu also gave the Demon Tree seed the Wood Attribute Soul Crystal he obtained from Shang Shi’s Space Bag, or else it would still be around Second Rank, Eighth Stage now.
Chu Mu had already spent a year on Prison Island. During this time, he could not remember how many soul pets and prisoners he had killed. His only goal now was for all names other than his own on the scroll to fade away….
