(Ninth place now, Little Fish did indeed stay up late to finish this chapter.)
(By the way, there was an error in uploading the last chapter, missing a thousand words, it’s not that Little Fish deliberately cut corners. This chapter is 4,000 words, making up for the last chapter’s deficiency.)
Princess Jinrou would stay in the Nightmare Demon Palace for some time, and Chu Mu, her personal attendant, was only responsible for following her when she went out. So Chu Mu didn’t have to stay in the Nightmare Demon Palace.
After being granted permission, Chu Mu didn’t linger in the Nightmare Demon Palace at all and went straight to Luo Region.
“Young Master Chu, you just gained fame in the Nightmare Demon Palace, why not strike while the iron is hot and instead leave the Nightmare Demon Palace in such a hurry to go to this Luo Region?” Ting Yu, who was riding the Wind Demon Steed with Chu Mu, asked.
Chu Mu glanced at Ting Yu and broke into a grin. saving. “Ting Yu. are vou still
calling me Young Master Chu now?”
Ting Yu was stunned, not expecting Chu Mu to suddenly say this.
In fact, when Ting Yu learned Chu Mu’s name, she immediately thought of the Chu Mu from three years ago, but she never thought that Chu Mu, who had caused a huge commotion on Green Nightmare Demon Island, had been thrown into the Prison Island and then reappeared forcefully in the Nightmare Demon Palace three years later.
During those days, Ting Yu was actually always hoping for Chu Mu to notice her, after all, they had been under the same roof for nearly half a year before. But Ting Yu found out that Chu Mu seemed to have forgotten her…
Ting Yu naturally felt lost because Chu Mu forgot about her, but she also knew that Chu Mu now was different from before, having become a dazzling new star in Nightmare Demon Palace, while she was now a maid.
“I… Young Master Chu… I thought you had forgotten about me…” Ting Yu’s cheeks flushed, making her appear somewhat flustered, but she still didn’t change her way of addressing Chu Mu by his name.
“Having survived in Prison Island for three years, many things have indeed become blurred in memory due to the constant numbness of killing, and I cannot recall them immediately.” Chu Mu said.
“Oh… oh… You’re rushing back to Luo Region because…” Ting Yu didn’t know what to say for a moment and immediately brought the conversation back to the topic.
“The Gangluo City in Luo Region is my home, and I’ve been away for four years…” Chu Mu said.
Ting Yu stole a glance at Chu Mu and quickly turned away, but she could read a hint of sadness in Chu Mu’s eyes.
“Now that you have such a high status in Nightmare Demon Palace, you can say that you are returning to your home with glory, which will certainly make your family proud.” Ting Yu said.
“Perhaps.” Chu Mu nodded and looked at the distant Purple Mountain.
Glory for Chu Mu was not important, what really mattered to him was being able to return to his long-separated home and see the slightly vicissitudinous middle-aged man…
Luo Region is a beautiful and rich territory, with boundless plains, winding mountain ranges, and vast dense forests…
In this world, the distribution of soul pets is often used to measure an area.
The complex terrain of Luo Domain can be said to create the perfect habitat for all kinds of soul pets. Here, you can see groups of servant-level soul pets running around, while in some rarely visited places, you can find footprints of commander-level soul pets. Even in some ancient villages or mountain fortresses deep within, there are old totems with valuable information about Monarch-level soul pets.
Chu Mu likes freedom and also yearns for it. The habitat of Luo Domain is a reflection of Chu Mu’s inner feelings. Since entering Luo Domain, Chu Mu’s mood has always been very pleasant, even his indifferent character had slightly changed, and he had conversations with Ting Yu along the way.
In fact, Chu Mu is not a purely indifferent young man. Under the influence of his father-like and friend-like old man, he has a rebellious, wild, and free-spirited heart. As long as he can face a vast and free world again, Chu Mu’s cold and numb temperament will gradually fade away, revealing the essence of a free-spirited young man!
“Young Master Chu, it is only a three-day journey to Gangluo City. We will stay in this city tonight and continue our journey tomorrow. The Wind Demon Steed also needs to rest,” Ting Yu said.
“Alright, that’s fine.” Chu Mu nodded, guiding the Wind Demon Steed directly into the city, which was probably only of fifth-level rank.
As a result, when Chu Mu and Ting Yu rode the Wind Demon Steed through the main street of the city, they caused a wave of sighs. Those riding servant-level soul pets could only bite their fists and stamp their feet in frustration, especially when they saw the Wind Demon Steed being ridden by a young man and woman, the older soul pet masters could only quietly call back their startled servant-level soul pets…
After entering the city, Chu Mu and Ting Yu went directly to the Soul Pet Palace and left their Wind Demon Steed, which had not signed a soul contract, for storage.
The Soul Pet Palace was one of the most authoritative forces in the soul pet field and was different from the Nightmare Demon Palace and other forces. The Soul Pet Palace was open to almost any soul pet master, covering all kinds of commercial transactions related to soul pets, including buying, hosting, renting endurance soul pets, and selling soul pets.
Although the Soul Pet Palace might not be the strongest force in the world, it was definitely the one with the widest coverage and the most members.
There were tens of thousands of human cities in the world, but almost every central area of a city above the fifth level had a Soul Pet Palace, providing all kinds of services for soul pet masters.
“Young Master, don’t you still have a soul pet you can own?” Ting Yu asked.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.
Actually, Chu Mu still had two soul pet vacancies. After the White Nightmare Demon swallowed the fifth-stage ninth-level Blue Nightmare Demon, it mysteriously fed back some of its soul power to Chu Mu, helping him break through the sixth-level Thought Soul Master stage, entering the realm of seventh-level Thought Soul Master.
Seven thoughts meant that Chu Mu was in a high-thought state, and his third soul could have three soul pets.
Chu Mu’s third soul had only signed a soul contract with the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and it still had two vacancies. Chu Mu was also considering that he needed to visit some places where powerful soul pets might appear to capture a new soul pet to enhance his strength.
During a fight, it’s hard for a soul pet master to summon and replace all his soul pets because summoning soul pets consumes a lot of soul power. But if there are more soul pets, one can have certain advantages in attributes and race during a battle.
“Young Master Chu must have an ideal soul pet model in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to choose,” Ting Yu said.
“Not really, maybe I just set my requirements too high,” Chu Mu replied.
Speaking of new soul pets, Chu Mu could easily think of the unhatched Zhe Dragon egg in his space ring.
The Zhe Dragon egg had been quietly lying in Chu Mu’s space ring. If it weren’t for the occasional sound it made, it would be just like a hard, unremarkable rock.
The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon is very likely to be a soul pet surpassing the Monarch level. The Zhe Dragon egg, which came from the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, was at least the descendant of a Monarch level Zhe Dragon.
It’s not very suitable for a Soul Master to sign a soul contract with a
Monarch-level soul pet, so the two empty slots for Chu Mu’s soul pet can’t be occupied by the Little Hiding Dragon. He could only limit the species ranking to the Commander level.
Actually, the species ranking does not necessarily determine the value of a soul pet. As long as a low-level soul pet is well-trained and its stage is raised, it’s possible for it to challenge a higher-level soul pet in battle.
There are many different types and qualities of soul pets in the Soul Pet Palace. Chu Mu definitely didn’t have much interest in them. If he really wanted to buy a soul pet, he wouldn’t need to do so in such a small city. In a level 10 city like Nightmare Demon City, as long as Chu Mu had enough money, he could buy even the most powerful soul pets.
After leaving the Soul Pet Palace, Chu Mu and Ting Yu walked along the bustling streets looking for a place to stay.
“Young Master Chu, what’s the matter? Is that carriage very special?” Ting Yu stopped and noticed Chu Mu staring at a slowly passing carriage, so she asked curiously.
“The symbol on the carriage looks familiar. It seems like it belongs to a big family in Gangluo City, but it’s been too long, and I can’t recall it exactly,” Chu Mu explained.
Now, Chu Mu only had a deep impression of the symbols of his own family and the Yang Family. The symbols of the other two big families in Gangluo City, the Zhou Clan and the Qin Family, were somewhat blurred in Chu Mu’s memory.
“When we entered the Soul Pet Palace just now, that carriage was nearby. I saw a beautiful woman inside the carriage, and her servant called her Miss Qin,” Ting Yu said.
“Oh, a woman from the Qin Family,” Chu Mu suddenly realized, no wonder it seemed familiar.
In the past, Chu Family and the Qin Family had a good relationship. Chu Mu often went to the Qin Family, and their members would also visit Chu Family frequently.
“Young Master Chu, do you know her?” Ting Yu asked.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, “I might have known her before, but it would be difficult to tell now.”
Chu Mu didn’t pay much attention to the woman from the Qin Family and continued walking with Ting Yu. They found a luxurious place to stay and entered it.
By coincidence, the carriage of the Qin Family was also there. As Chu Mu and Ting Yu entered, they saw the beautiful Qin Family woman and her attendants.
“Uncle Chu is very worried. If you can help, please do,” The woman said to a middle-aged man next to her in a very low voice as she walked up to the second floor.
She spoke very softly. Chu Mu, who had trained his hearing ability well while imprisoned on the island, could hear such quiet conversations.
“Miss, it’s not that I, Old Teng, don’t want to help Chu Family, but this time the one trying to intercept Chu Family’s trade caravan is an expert from the Yang Family, Li Nan. I, Old Teng, can’t deal with him, but the cost would be significant and the Qin Family’s involvement would definitely be discovered by the Yang Family…” The self-proclaimed Old Teng, a servant of the Qin Family, whispered.
“So we’re just going to stand by and watch Chu Family’s trade team get ambushed? The Yang Family has really gone too far. Chu Family’s situation has already been very bleak in recent years, yet they still resort to such despicable means, pushing Chu Family to near extinction?” the lady from the Qin Family said anxiously.
“Miss, our Qin Family has been secretly helping the Chu Family quite a bit. But as you know, the Yang Family now dominates Gangluo City, followed by the Zhou Family. These two powerful families are in cahoots and have practically monopolized the entire Gangluo City. Our Qin Family’s situation is not very optimistic either… we can only provide secret assistance, but openly opposing Yang Family like this is indeed very difficult…” The servant Old Teng said.
Chu Mu furrowed his brows upon hearing the conversation between the two. He immediately walked closer, trying to hear all the details of their conversation.
“Do not approach the young lady!” As soon as Chu Mu approached, the few servants immediately showed their fierce and ferocious appearances.
Seeing someone approaching, the young lady from the Chu Family and Old Teng immediately stopped their conversation and turned to walk toward the resting area pointed out by the maid.
“Is it true that the Chu Family’s trade team is about to be ambushed by thieves, as you two just mentioned?” Chu Mu ignored the few servants, looking straight at the young lady from the Qin Family, and asked directly.
Both the young lady from the Qin Family and Old Teng furrowed their brows as Chu Mu spoke.
“Don’t you know that eavesdropping on other people’s conversation is the most impolite and offensive thing to do! ” Old Teng’s face immediately darkened, turning around and giving Chu Mu a fierce glare.
Chu Mu didn’t know anything about impoliteness or offense right now. In the past, when Old Teng had given this kind of look, Chu Mu would have directly killed him, but now Chu Mu was already restraining himself since he was no longer living on Prison Island and there was no need to kill anyone he met…
“I just want to know if this matter is true.” Chu Mu repeated.
“Kid, do I need to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders for your impolite behavior!” Old Teng’s face looked even worse. The Qin family’s assistance to the Chu family had always been secretly done, and Old Teng did not want outsiders to know about it. If word got to the Yang Family, their Qin Family would also be in trouble.
“Old Teng, let it be. He might have just overheard it unintentionally.” The Qin Family’s young lady seemed relatively gentle, signaling Old Teng not to clash with Chu Mu.
After diffusing the conflict, the young lady from the Qin Family did not linger and slowly walked up to the second floor.
Chu Mu couldn’t possibly not care about the Chu Family’s affairs, and it seemed that the trade team was very important to his family.
“Wait, are you Qin Meng’er?” Chu Mu immediately asked.
The Qin Family’s young lady turned her head, her eyes doubtful as she looked at Chu Mu. She seemed to not understand how this stranger, who she had never met before, would know her name.
“Miss, you have been cultivating in the Luo region for years, and although you don’t often return, you have gained a small reputation from it. It’s not strange for outsiders to recognize you. Let me discipline this nonsense-speaking kid for you,” Old Teng explained.
“Miss, please don’t take offense. My young master has exceptional hearing and must have unintentionally overheard your conversation. The young master has some connections with the Chu Family and wants to help them when they are in trouble. We hope that you can inform us of the details of this matter…” Ting Yu immediately stood up and spoke on Chu Mu’s behalf.
Chu Mu glanced at Ting Yu. He had been living on Prison Island for too long and hadn’t yet recovered from that tense environment. He was not good at dealing with people.
