Chapter 630: Chapter 501: The Shimmering 200 Million Gold Coins, Level 8 Prisoner Cai Ji

Soul Pet Masters have very limited Soul Power, and during this half-month competition, if one cannot reasonably summon and control the number of Soul Pets battling, it is easy to run out of Soul Power in the late stage. After all, Soul Power is consumed very quickly and recovers slowly, making it hard to find time for meditation during continuous battles.

Jiang Yiteng was well aware of this factor. It was only the first day now, and if he started with double or triple control, he would fall behind in Soul Power later when he encountered the strongest players from major powers.

On the other hand, Chu Mu didn’t need to worry as much, mainly because of Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi brought plenty of Soul Power potions, so Chu Mu’s Soul Power would be sufficient as long as he didn’t engage in excessive fights. Moreover, Ye Qingzi’s healing and recovery abilities were strong, allowing Chu Mu’s Soul Pets’ physical strength to increase at least twofold and solving the injury problems within a short time.

“Only weak people will get angry and fight when provoked by weak opponents…” Jiang Yiteng muttered to himself.

Finally, the Little Prince of the Nightmare Demon Palace took a deep breath, gave up his intention to fight, and said indifferently,

“You guys are lucky this time. I hope that the next time we meet, you will have enough Prisoner Rings on your hands to make me genuinely consider using my Soul Power to kill you.”

Truly rational strong players wouldn’t engage in meaningless actions over such disputes. Jiang Yiteng felt the need to control his temper. Wasting time and energy on troublesome small fries would only affect his performance in later battles against real strong adversaries.

“Qin, come back.” Chu Mu called the Wind-binding Spirit back to his side, having anticipated Jiang Yiteng’s move.

Chu Mu also didn’t want to expose his strength too early, so he confronted Jiang Yiteng to make him back off first. 50 million was still money, and Chu Mu had always been snatching money from others – it wasn’t reasonable for others to snatch from him.

“You don’t mind giving way, do you?” Jiang Yiteng seemed to have controlled his temper, walking with the White Nightmare Demon back onto the Rainbow Bridge.

Chu Mu didn’t stand at the end of the Rainbow Bridge to continue the standoff with Jiang Yiteng, letting him walk over from the bridge’s position.

Of course, to guard against any deceit, Chu Mu was also prepared to resume the fight if needed.

Jiang Yiteng didn’t continue the fight, maintaining his superior appearance as he walked past Chu Mu’s side, deliberately memorizing Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s appearances, then slowly walked into the mist along the plank road that had been somewhat distorted by the Wind-binding Spirit.

As Jiang Yiteng memorized Chu Mu’s appearance, Chu Mu also kept in mind this fellow. The most threatening people in Nightmare Demon Palace were Jiang Yiteng, followed by Lushan Li and finally the hiding Princess Jinrou.

In the coming Eighth and Ninth realms, clashes with them were inevitable. Having some understanding of them would prevent being too passive if they engaged in battle.

“Young Master, this Nightmare Demon Palace kid is really arrogant. If he knew that you killed Ling He, the strongest of the second-tier, I bet his jaw would drop,” said the Fox Elder, who appeared after Jiang Yiteng left.

“Indeed, very arrogant, but not stupid,” Chu Mu nodded.

“You killed Ling He?” Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu with a surprised expression. At the Seventh Realm, Chu Mu had filtered out many dangerous encounters, telling Ye Qingzi only about meeting the defecting Puppet Girl and asking her to analyze the situation for him…

So Ye Qingzi was unaware that Chu Mu had killed the Puppet Girl’s minion, the most hidden powerhouse of the Second-tier, Ling He!

Ye Qingzi learned about Ling He’s existence through reminders from her teacher’s old friends. She had specifically warned Chu Mu to be extra cautious because of his strength, but she didn’t expect Chu Mu to have eliminated the person with high hopes for the final honor at the Seventh Realm itself.

Chu Mu nodded and said, “It was an accident. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to deal with him, as his strength is stronger than Jiang Yiteng’s.”

It was indeed an accident that Zhan Ye’s strength erupted so explosively, reaching the Tenth Rank Peak Monarch level. Such an abnormal outbreak would only appear again if there were another peculiar environment and terrain like the Thousand-leg Centipede, allowing Zhan Ye’s strength to slowly rise. Besides, Zhan Ye’s upgrade from high-level Monarch to Peak Monarch was due to Chu Mu’s appearance that truly triggered Zhan Ye’s soul, enabling him to enhance to his final state…

Zhan Ye was now Chu Mu’s secret weapon, but Chu Mu couldn’t pin his hopes on the impractical surge to Tenth Rank High-level Monarch or even Tenth Rank Peak Monarch.

“How many more secrets are you hiding?” Ye Qingzi muttered, seemingly unable to see through Chu Mu.

Chu Mu’s half-demonization had already shocked Ye Qingzi. After all, he had unleashed a combat power more terrifying than an Emperor-level Qingzhe Dragon at that time, annihilating countless strong opponents’ Soul Pets.

Now, Chu Mu had another humanoid defector Soul Pet who seemed to be lurking throughout the World Decree. In the beginning, Ye Qingzi had found it hard to believe all this since humanoid Soul Pets were so rare indeed!

“I have been honest about everything I should tell you,” Chu Mu said with an awkward smile.

“Have you? At least, you never mentioned the secret the Little Princess of Nightmare Demon Palace knows about you,” Ye Qingzi said calmly.

After saying this, she chanted a spell and took Water Moon back into her Soul Pet Space, leaving only the Pan Wood Spirit by her side.

Carrying too many Soul Pets in a non-battle state not only makes it easy to expose oneself, but also reduces mobility. Ye Qingzi had Soul Power potions and didn’t care about the consumption of Soul Power.

“…” After hearing Ye Qingzi’s words, Chu Mu felt embarrassed. He hadn’t expected her thoughts to be so sharp, making it difficult to lie to her in the future.

The secret that Princess Jinrou knows is about Mo Ye, and indeed Ye Qingzi doesn’t know about Mo Ye’s continuous mutations. Chu Mu doesn’t distrust Ye Qingzi, but he just feels that there’s no need to tell her…

“Don’t be nervous, I’m not subjecting you to torture for interrogation. Keep your secret well hidden, otherwise, if I find out and expose it, you’ll say I’m terrible,” Ye Qingzi smiled lightly, and didn’t press Chu Mu further.

Ye Qingzi also knew that Chu Mu wasn’t the kind of person who would reveal everything. He would speak up when the time was right.

“Hehe, that won’t happen…” Chu Mu laughed awkwardly.

“It won’t be detected by me?” Ye Qingzi pretended to be angry like a little woman.

“What I mean is, I won’t say you’re terrible because you’ve been so good to me.” Chu Mu thickened his face and got closer to Ye Qingzi.

“Who’s been good to you… it’s just… just that you helped me a lot, and I should help you too…” Ye Qingzi felt Chu Mu deliberately getting closer, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

In the end, Ye Qingzi still ran away embarrassedly, covering her burning cheeks and hiding to the side…

Chu Mu had just intentionally lowered his head slightly, trying to kiss her lips. Ye Qingzi, hit by Chu Mu’s hot masculine breath, had her heart pounding.

Chu Mu looked at Ye Qingzi, who had hidden from him, and saw her delicate side face blushing, and he couldn’t help but grin. It seemed that the timing was not right, and he should take the opportunity to deepen their relationship if there’s a chance.

Actually, Chu Mu didn’t know when he began to like Ye Qingzi. Perhaps it was the elegant, calm, and wise feeling she gave him when they first met, and then, as they got to know each other more, this feeling gradually evolved into love. There wasn’t any abruptness or obstruction during this period, just a very natural accumulation of goodwill…

When Chu Mu truly realized that Ye Qingzi had already occupied a significant part of his heart, it was when he saw her curled up and crying in the corner of West Street. His anger at that time couldn’t help but be uncontrollable, and he understood at that moment how much he cared about her, and couldn’t bear her any grievances or pain.

…

“Chu Mu, come quickly.” Suddenly, Ye Qingzi’s soul sense entered Chu Mu’s spiritual world.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu came back to his senses, hastening to run to Ye Qingzi’s side.

“Hold me.” Ye Qingzi said suddenly.

Chu Mu was stunned, and then his eyes lit up. When did Ye Qingzi attain this level of enlightenment? Could it be that she was greatly moved?

“My Dream Beast senses a soul sense fluctuation below, and standing here, I also feel like I’m being watched.” Ye Qingzi spoke to Chu Mu through soul sense.

As she spoke, Ye Qingzi pretended to be intimate with Chu Mu, wrapping her arms gently around Chu Mu from below, and actively hugging his strong and tall body.

Chu Mu opened his mouth and gave a bitter smile, suppressing his wild thoughts.

Chu Mu quickly understood Ye Qingzi’s intention, however, he didn’t pretend to be anything, and instead just held Ye Qingzi in a relaxed manner. While enjoying the beauty’s soft and wonderful embrace, he released his own soul sense to search for any clues below the Rainbow Bridge.

At first, Chu Mu didn’t notice anything, but with his experience, he could tell there was likely someone hiding in a position where the air currents were chaotic beneath the cliff.

Chu Mu deliberately focused his soul sense on that position and found a faint familiar presence!

“How is it?” Ye Qingzi asked, pressing her lips against Chu Mu’s ear and breathing hotly.

“It’s the leader of the four prisoners, Cai Ji!” Chu Mu whispered.

When the four of them were talking under the pool, the other three had revealed that Cai Ji was a Level 8 prisoner.

…

“You guys really know how to pick the right place. You couldn’t help but be affectionate even in this kind of place. No wonder young people are so restless. That Nightmare Demon Palace boy is too lazy to deal with you, but I don’t mind!” Cai Ji, who was hiding below, had a more vicious look in his eyes.

Cai Ji’s soul pet was quietly climbing up to ambush Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

With their arms still embracing each other, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi didn’t look infatuated. Their eyes gleamed with wisdom, and they calmly waited for the two hundred million gold coins to take the bait.
