Chapter 251: Chapter 130: Hundred Valleys, Blood Permanence Fruit
Translator: 549690339
Chu Mu wasn’t the type to hesitate or be pretentious, so he simply opened his arms, not caring whether Chu Qian was willing or not, he hugged his lovely sister first.
Chu Qian had a unique scent on her body, especially her hair. When Chu Mu held her in his arms, he purposely took a deep sniff of her hair.
That intoxicating fragrance was irresistible. Chu Mu initially only wanted a simple hug, but when he realized Chu Qian’s delicate arms were wrapped around his back, he held her even tighter.
The soft, boneless body, smooth, round skin, intense love and joy from the reunion, all inflamed Chu Mu’s imagination…
Chu Mu was a passionate young man, and he would often have various thoughts and fantasies about women. For example, his fondness for Ye Qingzi was to a certain extent due to her beautiful appearance and attractive figure.
Of course, Chu Mu had his own principles and would not touch a woman he didn’t like.
Chu Qian could be considered the first woman Chu Mu liked. They had always been getting along as siblings when they were younger. Due to their young age, Chu Mu always hid his feelings deep within his heart.
Now that Chu Mu’s state of mind has changed, tightly embracing the first woman he liked, he felt a strong desire to possess her. As he gazed at Chu Qian’s beautiful face, he really wanted to lean down and kiss her red lips.
Wonderful touch, tempting scent, exquisite face, rosy lips…
Chu Mu lowered his head slightly, his lips barely brushing pass Chu Qian’s full and sensual lips, without actually kissing her.
Chu Qian seemed to have felt Chu Mu’s subtle action, slightly startled. Lifting her head, her lips just brushed through Chu Mu’s mouth corner…
As their eyes met, both of them were stunned. Chu Mu’s heartstrings just fluttered for a moment, while Chu Qian’s heart was invaded by a deer’s pounding, her cheeks blushing furiously.
“Uh, Sister Qian, let’s talk about the matter at hand. What kind of trouble did you encounter here?” Chu Mu asked.
“Ah? Oh…Why don’t you talk about your experience over the years first?
Father’s letter only mentioned that you’ve safely returned but didn’t give any details,” Chu Qian said, her eyes dodging, loosening her embrace around Chu Mu’s arm. She became aware that she was now pressed against a man’s chest, and her tear-washed eyes flashed with embarrassment.
Chu Qian knew she had no blood relationship with Chu Mu, and it was embarrassing to be so intimate. Especially after the light brush against her lips, it seemed they still held the taste of the young man’s lips.
Chu Mu knew he should ease the awkwardness of the situation, so he briefly talked about his experiences. Of course, Chu Mu could not let Chu Qian know about the terrifying places like Nightmare Demon Island and Prison Island, only saying that he was forced to cultivate and had been out for training all this time.
Chu Qian’s emotions hadn’t completely calmed down yet, and after Chu Mu finished speaking, she uttered some incoherent worried words.
“What exactly happened?” Chu Mu was now more concerned with Chu Qian’s problem. Since Chu Qian had informed the family about this matter and her expression wasn’t easy to handle, he needed to figure out what was going on.
“No, nothing. I can handle it myself. Don’t worry. Since you’ve come such a long way, you must be tired. I’ll take you to rest first,” Chu Qian replied.
“No rush, let’s talk about your situation first,” Chu Mu insisted.
Chu Qian looked up at Chu Mu with hesitation, and after a moment, she finally spoke: “When I learned from the letter that you had returned safely, I decided to pack my things and return to Gangluo City. But my teacher refused to let me leave. When he noticed that I had left without permission, he wanted to punish me. At that time, someone I had harbored grudges against in the past took advantage of the situation and framed me. He said that I went to steal his spirit items on the night I left secretly, not returning to the family. If I don’t return his stuff, he will take back my soul pets and kick me out of here…”
As Chu Mu listened to Chu Qian’s account, he furrowed his brows. Chu Qian was on her own in the Great Chu Noble Family, and aside from her teacher, she had no one to rely on. Disobeying her teacher’s orders would definitely make him angry, and then that despicable person took advantage of the situation and created a dead end for Chu Qian.
“So what does the Great Chu Noble Family plan to do with you now?” asked Chu Mu, his face darkening.
“My teacher knows I wouldn’t do such a thing, but there’s irrefutable evidence, so it’s hard to refute… I was supposed to go to the Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley for training in half a month. Once I complete his training task, I can stay in the Great Chu Noble Family forever. Due to the incident, my teacher has significantly increased the difficulty of my training task – asking me to retrieve the lost spirit item in the Hundred Valleys — the Blood Permanence Fruit, and return it to him. Only then will I be punished lightly.” Chu Qian explained.
Speaking of the matter, Chu Qian was also filled with resentment in her heart, but now that she was in other people’s territory, many things couldn’t be explained clearly even if there was a reason. As for finding the Blood Permanence Fruit in Hundred Valleys, this was almost impossible to do. If it wasn’t for the dangers of the Hundred Valleys area and the difficulty of finding the Blood Permanence Fruit, the Insect-tribe-group guarding the Blood Permanence Fruit would not have been something Chu Qian could face.
“Fox Elder, what’s the situation with the Hundred Valleys?” Chu Mu immediately asked the Fox Elder he had thrown into his Space Ring.
“Ten Thousand Broken Insect Valleys are divided into several levels. The first level is Ten Valleys. Soul pets of low stages and levels live in the Ten Valleys, and the number of tribes will not exceed ten. The majority of Soul Pet Masters roam in the Ten Valleys. The Hundred Valleys are a more complex existence than the Ten Valleys, with higher stages and levels of soul pets inhabiting it. Due to the special environment, a variety of spirit items grow there, and Soul Pet Masters with strength will enter the Hundred Valleys.
It is worth mentioning that having hundreds of tribes in the Hundred Valleys is a common occurrence. If you’re not cautious, you’ll be bitten by those insects and there’ll be nothing left. If you don’t have three Seventh-rank Commander Soul Pets, it’s usually hard to blend in, and if you form a team, you should consider the quality of the team, because sometimes more people doesn’t mean more safety.”
“In addition to the Hundred Valleys, there are Thousand Valleys in the depths of Wogu Mountain Range. In places like Thousand Valleys, if you haven’t reached the Soul Lord Realm and don’t have a Monarch Soul Pet, it’s best to give up on the idea of even entering the edge. As for the Ten Thousand Valleys, not many people have found them, and they mainly exist in legends. Since the Ten Thousand Valleys cannot be involved by the Young Master for now, so I won’t go into details.”
Fox Elder also spoke in great detail, saving Chu Mu a bit of trouble inquiring.
“Let’s not talk about these unpleasant things for now. I’ll take you to my place. You look tired, so let’s rest first, there’s still some time, and we’ll find a solution.” With her tears stain yet dried, Chu Qian floated up a smile.
Seeing Chu Qian’s smile, Chu Mu felt a warmth in his heart. What he liked the most was Chu Qian’s infectious smile.
Chu Mu also knew that the matter about Chu Qian needed to be resolved slowly. He followed her advice and went with her to the main peak of Chu Mountain.
When they returned to the room, they heard the argument between Ye Wansheng and a woman named Chu Qian. Chu Qian was red-faced with anger, and Ye Wansheng was also agitated.
As for Ye Qingzi, she was as calm as ever, completely disregarding the conflict between Ye Wansheng and the woman, sitting alone, giving people a sense of ethereal elegance.
During that one month, Chu Mu also built some rapport with this pair of siblings. Chu Mu found it strange that a person like Ye Wansheng with an unrestrained, roguish reputation would have such a calm, intelligent, and refined sister.
“You guys finally stopped, Chu Chen, you come here, tell this guy how amazing I was when we defeated the Eighth Stage Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon. The main credit was mine, right?” As soon as Ye Wansheng saw Chu Mu coming, he immediately pulled Chu Mu over.
“Humph, someone like you, wanting to defeat an Eighth Stage
Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon. Even a Seventh Stage Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon is a dangerous creature for you!” Chu Qian retorted.
Chu Mu glanced at the calm and serene Ye Qingzi and saw her motioning for him not to engage with the brainless guy, Chu Mu couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly and said, “Forget it, there’s no need to quarrel. Let’s go to the main peak first, and discuss what to do next.”
Ye Wansheng’s moral character indeed didn’t have the demeanor of an expert, which let people see through at a glance that he belonged to the rogue, unemployed youth who bragged all over the streets.
“Chu Qian, don’t be like that, they are my brother’s friends. They have come a long way from the West Lingcheng Region and are tired from the journey. Let them rest first, and we’ll talk later.” Chu Qian also advised the talkative Chu Qian.
“Humph, I’ve never seen such a shameless person,” Chu Qian said as she turned her head and walked in front.
Chu Qian apologized with a smile and explained, “My junior sister’s personality is like this, please don’t mind.”
“No, no, I, Ye Wansheng, don’t have anything, but I do have magnanimity. I will not argue with this little maid who has a crush on handsome guys and strong ones.” Ye Wansheng immediately showed a gentlemanly demeanor, appearing completely different in front of Chu Qian and Chu Qian.
Chu Qian also gave a gentle smile, and she also made a point to look at the extremely beautiful and extraordinary sister of Ye Wansheng’s, also speaking a few friendly words with her.
Under Chu Qian’s guidance, the five of them gradually entered the main peak of Chu Mountain.
The main peak of Chu Mountain was the gathering place for the core members, and the peak was very high. It would be quite tiring to walk up slowly. The Great Chu Noble Family was also very considerate and prepared some specialized winged soul pets at the foot of the mountain to carry disciples up the mountain.
“Because of Princess Jinrou’s visit, most of the Blue Birds have been used to carry guests who have come to visit the princess. Now there are only four Blue Birds that can carry one person each. You guys figure it out.” The Mountain Guarding Disciple in charge of the youth at the foot of the mountain spoke with extreme arrogance.
“Isn’t there another Blue Bird right there? Why won’t you give it to us?” Chu Qian pointed at a Blue Bird lying on the straw heap on the other side and spoke angrily.
“That one is my own Soul Pet.” The Mountain Guarding Disciple spoke, and after finishing, he deliberately glanced at the three of Chu Mu, sneering, “Chu Qian, could it be that these three are your rescue troops? They should have Winged Soul Pets, right? Summon them directly to fly up, there’s no need to ride these low-level Blue Birds.”
Chu Qian’s face changed slightly, her gaze fell on Chu Mu, and she apologetically mustered a forced smile, explaining with Soul Sense, “He is from the same circle of people who framed me. Now my teacher is angry at me, no one is protecting me, and they are deliberately making things difficult for me.
It wasn’t like this before.”
Chu Qian held great importance in Chu Mu’s heart, so how could he let her be wronged? He gave the Mountain Guarding Disciple a cold glance.
“Chu Mu, there’s no need to argue with such people.” Feeling Chu Mu’s gaze become icy, Chu Qian worried that Chu Mu would act impulsively and immediately spoke to him.
Chu Mu had a sense of propriety since they were in the Great Chu Noble Family, but he wouldn’t let Chu Qian suffer this grievance. He recited a spell and summoned MO Ye.
“…Haha, Chu Qian, what kind of rescue troops are these? You even summoned the wrong Soul Pet, bringing out such a little pet, this thing might be crushed by just one person…” Seeing Chu Mu summon the fluffy MO Ye, the Mountain Guarding Disciple immediately let out a mocking laugh.
Ye Qingzi and Ye Wanshenq both knew about Chu Mu’s formidable fox Soul Pet
and had an attitude of watching a good show.
“Chu Qian, your little brother… is there any problem? Why did he summon such a cute little fox out of the blue…” Chu Qian whispered to Chu Qian.
Chu Mu didn’t pay attention to that guy’s mockery, and gave MO Ye an order using Soul Sense.
MO Ye also wagged its nine little tails, hopping and running towards the Blue Bird belonging to the Mountain Guarding Disciple.
Silver pupils flickered with a resplendent light, and a powerful spiritual force was forcibly poured into the resting Blue Bird’s spiritual world!
Evil Eye Demon Subdue! Soul Control!
The powerful spiritual power infusion made the Mountain Guarding Disciple’s Blue Bird’s gaze visibly dull, as if it had completely lost its soul…
A moment later, the Blue Bird began to flap its wings and, under the astonished gaze of the Mountain Guarding Disciple, took flight, flying directly to Chu Mu’s feet.
“Let’s go.” With a slight smile, Chu Mu didn’t pay any attention to the shocked Mountain Guarding Disciple. He stepped on the Blue Bird and soared into the sky.
..Damn it, come back, you stupid thing, who told you to take them up there!” The Mountain Guarding Disciple had no idea that his Soul Pet had been controlled by MO Ye, and continuously sent out Soul Sense commands. Yet his Soul Pet simply couldn’t receive his orders. The Blue Bird kept flapping its wings, acting entirely according to Chu Mu’s wishes, serving as a mount flying toward the main peak.
Chu Qian was also stunned for a while before she followed Chu Mu with her soul Pet.
“What happened? How can his Soul Pet obey your command?” Chu Qian’s Blue Bird quickly caught up to Chu Mu, and Chu Qian asked in disbelief.
“It’s a mind control skill. His Blue Bird’s mind is very weak, so it’s easily controlled.” Chu Mu explained with a smile.
“Is it a skill of your little fox?” Chu Qian’s eyes shone as she looked at the adorable MO Ye on Chu Mu’s shoulder.
MO Ye’s allure to women was far greater than Chu Mu’s handsome appearance. Almost no woman could resist it.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.
“Very impressive, haha.” Chu Qian also laughed immediately, deliberately looking back at the mountain-guarding disciple who was so angry he was stomping his feet. She felt that she had finally vented her anger. Otherwise, these guys would always take advantage of her teacher’s anger to come and cause her trouble. Chu Qian knew that their real purpose was to make her compromise, but she would never give in.
“Aren’t these two siblings your friends? Why did you deliberately hide your name, Chu Chen… it sounds strange when I say it.” Chu Qian asked.
“We only met in Cold Pool City, and I don’t know them very well yet. To be safe, I didn’t tell them my real name.” Chu Mu explained.
“Hehe, it’s interesting. Your name is the same as the famous Chu Mu recently, who is now in the main peak and following the princess. You might have a chance to meet him, two Chu Mus…” Chu Qian let out a pleasant laugh.
“Elder sister Qian, I am that Chu Mu.” Chu Mu said.
“Bluffing. I haven’t seen you for so many years, and you’ve become slick. You even dared to…” Chu Qian’s face turned pink as she thought back to when Chu Mu had lowered his head and touched her lips. Of course, she didn’t take Chu Mu’s words seriously.
” Chu Mu was speechless.
Due to Chu Mu’s sensitive identity and the fact that Chu Tianheng and Chu Qian’s communications were very brief, Chu Qian only knew that Chu Mu had returned but didn’t know that he and the now-famous Prison Island King Chu Mu were one and the same.
In fact, it was hard for Chu Qian to connect the two identities. After all, four or five years ago, Chu Mu was a Soul Pet Master who couldn’t even summon a soul pet, while the now-famous Chu Mu was a top expert with the qualifications to challenge Chu Ke of the Great Chu Noble Family…
Chu Qian took Chu Mu directly to her courtyard, which she shared with Chu Qian and was relatively spacious. Four servants cleaned and took care of the house and courtyard daily.
There were vacant rooms, and Chu Qian arranged lodging for the three of them. She also had the servants prepare dinner for them.
Chu Mu and the Ye siblings didn’t rest after entering the city. They went straight to Chu Mountain and then had to wait in the courtyard at Chu Mountain for a long time. They were indeed tired, so after dinner, Chu Qian went to see her teacher, and Chu Mu and the Ye siblings went to rest.
Chu Mu didn’t need much rest, as long as he washed away the fatigue from his continuous days of travel, he would be fine. At night, Ye Wansheng didn’t know when he had run over to Chu Qian’s side. He then went on to make a ruckus in the courtyard with Chu Qian, which was endless.
When Chu Mu walked out of the room, he saw Ye Qingzi sitting alone in the elegant courtyard, looking at the blooming night flowers in the center of the yard, as if she was contemplating something.
Ye Qingzi was indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than Chu Qian by a few points. With her unique temperament, Chu Mu was admiring her while she was focused on the flowers…
“You always walk without making any sounds…” After a while, Ye Qingzi noticed Chu Mu standing next to her and gave a faint smile.
“It’s a habit, no other meaning.” Chu Mu smiled and sat down next to Ye Qingzi.
Ye Qingzi subtly moved her body, not knowing if it was to give Chu Mu more room or because she didn’t want Chu Mu to touch her. Her eyes were still fixed on the flower petals, which were covered in dew…
“I guess you must be that Prison Island King Chu Mu, right?” After a long time, Ye Qingzi’s clear voice came to Chu Mu’s ears, bringing a not-so-small ripple in his heart.
Chu Mu was startled and looked at Ye Qingzi with surprise. After a while, he finally asked, “How did you know?”
It had to be said that Ye Qingzi’s mind was very meticulous. Many times, her appearance seemed out of place with her surroundings, but she could remember even the smallest and most overlooked details in her heart and make inferences from them.
“Your soul pet, your name, and your sister’s reaction. It is said in the rumors that Chu Mu has a Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox. Based on my observations, your little fox must be a Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox that has been kept in a delicate state using some method… Chu Chen and Chu Mu have similar names, and when my brother mentioned that he was Chu Chen’s big brother, your sister’s reaction was bewildered. This implies that Chu Chen might not be your real name…” Ye Qingzi explained.
