The Charm of Soul Pets

Liu Binglan frowned.

Recently, she did receive the news of missing people from the various borders in Northern Territory.

At first, Liu Binglan assumed that they were attacked by soul pet tribes they missed out in the cleanup. However, after hearing Princess Jinrou’s story, she also noticed that in some of the letters she received, it did mention that those people were eaten by a demonic creature with membrane wings.

Other than that, other regions in Zhengming Continent also seemed to have similar news. It meant that this Heaven Demon did not only appear in Northern Territory. They might appear in all places covered by Solar Eclipse.

“Hunting and eating living people? How can there be such a monster?” said Chao Lengchuan with a grim tone.

That explained why those people in the smaller cities who started migrating later would go missing mysteriously. To think that they were eaten alive by these Heaven Demons, Chao Lengchuan felt a chill.

“We have to handle this matter properly. Send more experts to escort the remaining people. Try to let those people living in rural area gather with Realm City or Border City as the center,” said Liu Binglan.

“Yes, I will issue the order now,” Chao Lengchuan nodded.

After Chao Lengchuan left, Liu Binglan got up and walked towards Chu Mu’s yard.

Chu Mu was still cultivating. She sat in the room like a statue, with his eyes shut tight.

When Liu Binglan entered the room, Ye Qingzi was not inside, there was only Chu Mu sitting still in the room.

For some reason, when Chu Mu returned this time, Liu Binglan clearly sensed a change in his aura.

This change caused Liu Binglan to feel somewhat unfamiliar, as if she and Chu Mu were no longer people in the same world.

......

She walked next to Chu Mu and stroked his cheek.

Liu Binglan knew that he had already reached a domain insurmountable by others. What he had to bear was not something she could even touch.

She was really worried whether there would come a day when they would no longer be in contact.

This caused Liu Binglan to harbor a strange fear.

Liu Binglan sat next to Chu Mu and began thinking in silence.

After some time, Liu Binglan felt a light weight on her shoulder.

She opened her eyes and noticed that Chu Mu was already awake. He was lightly hugging her shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” asked Chu Mu.

He could tell that Liu Binglan had some worries.

“A feeling, a very strange feeling,” said Liu Binglan.

“What kind of feeling?”

“I can’t explain it,” Liu Binglan shook her head did not continue.

The dark night loomed in the sky as usual. People could not see a trace of light. When such kind of darkness continued for a long time, not only would people not get used to it, they would even began to feel greater fear.

Perhaps, it was this darkness that caused Liu Binglan to suddenly harbor some bizarre worries.

Seeing Liu Binglan keeping quiet, Chu Mu scratched his head and did not know how to console her.

“Has your power stabilized?” asked Liu Binglan.

“Yes,” answered Chu Mu.

“Why did she give this power to you?” asked Liu Binglan.

“I don’t know either. Oh, I also want to ask you why she did that,” said Chu Mu.

Yu Suo’s strange behavior troubled Chu Mu. She just left like that, making him feel as if he owed her something.

“She likes you?” asked Liu Binglan.

“......” Chu Mu became speechless, then explained, “That’s not possible.”

Liu Binglan thought carefully and also felt that it was unlikely to happen. Their relationship was complicated, but it would be far-fetched to consider about love.

“Uhh......” Chu Mu hesitated for a moment.

Eventually, he decided to tell Liu Binglan about that ridiculous event in Heaven Palace.

After Liu Binglan heard about it, she looked at Chu Mu in astonishment with her mouth opened.

Chu Mu saw Liu Binglan’s expression and did not know what to say.

“Fine, forget what I said,” Chu Mu started laughing bitterly.

“Does Qingzi know?”

“I don’t dare to say......”

Liu Binglan rolled her eyes. He sure had some great luck with women. He and Yu Suo had been in a complicated relationship, but that woman eventually fell into his hand.

“You shouldn’t let her go,” said Liu Binglan.

“I also don’t know what to do, I feel really confused.”

“But it’s good that you returned her the pendant. She’s probably as confused as you are, and needs to calm down alone,” said Liu Binglan.

Hearing Liu Binglan’s tone, Chu Mu felt that she wanted him to find Yu Suo and bring her back? That did not seem suitable.

Liu Binglan saw through Chu Mu’s concern and smiled, “Just do what you feel in your heart. If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself. She’s not someone who wants sympathy.”

“Yes,” Chu Mu nodded.

......

After walking out of the yard, he raised his head and saw the darkness covering the sky above his head.

In this ten thousand year wheel, how long would this Solar Eclipse last??

Chu Mu himself could not tell.

“Young master, young master......” Old Li hurriedly ran to Chu Mu while waving its short arms.

“What’s wrong?” asked Chu Mu.

“Umm...... My grandfather is here,” said Old Li.

“Your grandfather?” Chu Mu looked at the elderly Old Li.

Then, he suddenly realized that it should be the demon agent Elder Li who came.

As expected, the silver beard Elder Li appeared with a walking stick. Following Elder Li were a few Green Demons with very strong aura. The Green Demons’ eyes gleamed with intellectual light. They clearly had a very high rank and possessed intelligence.

“They are the subordinates of Demon Ancestor,” Old Li pointed at the three Green Demons.

Those Green Demons clearly reached the peak of Immortal rank. If it was him in the past, he would have trouble dealing with just one of them.

Chu Mu found it weird that it was Demon race’s Demon Ancestor who came first instead of Yellow Spring Emperor’s subordinates.

Demon Ancestor was Hades Purple Emperor, the strongest individual with the same race as Mo Xie, similarly an Undying rank era’s strongest!

“I thought that you inherited the power of Monument Tears and became the fourth era’s strongest. To think that you absorbed Crimson Sol energy......” Elder Li stroked its beard and examined Chu Mu.

Chu Mu shook his head, the person who inherited the fourth era’s strongest was his father, Chu Tianmang. However, Chu Mu did not know where he went, whether he really inherited the power of Monument Tears completely. After all, most of the energy in the Monument Tears were used to neutralize the tyrannical Crimson Sol energy.

“The ten thousand year wheel has been activated. It won’t be long before Heaven Palace send the invitation letter,” said Elder Li.

“Invitation letter? What invitation letter?” asked Chu Mu.

“Amongst the ten era’s strongest, a wheel’s strongest must be decided......”
