CH 18

After the system voice passed.

Jiang Mu then felt that his body, was being filled with a mysterious power.

Clearly, the body had been transformed and strengthened.

“Ooh!”

“The Body That Bears All Poisons?”

“This rewards awesome!”

“I won’t be afraid of being tormented by poisons in the future!”

“Moreover, the Poison Explosion Pill formed from the absorbed poisons can be used to attack enemies!”

“It’s simply both offensive and defensive!”

Jiang Mu was very pleased with this reward.

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

“This ‘The Body That Bears All Poisons’ doesn’t say how much poison it can withstand.”

“Does that mean that I can infinitely absorb poisons and infinitely condense Poison Explosion Pills?”

“If that’s true, then if I condense an …. Atomic Bomb level Poison Pill ….”

” Hehe! It’s terrifying to think about!”

At this time, the airship began to descend and Jiang Mu felt a slight feeling of weightlessness.

” Hmm, we’re almost at the Demon Beast Mountain Range.”

Then he got up from the bathtub and put on his jade white, handsome patriarch’s robe.

Get ready for the second main storyline: the hunting season.

…

Demon Beast Mountain Range, outer mountain forest.

“Death to the pig-headed!”

An angry, delicate cry.

Xue Menghan used her sword to thrust a large black-tusked wild boar, alive, to death.

Then she drew her sword and headed straight for the depths of the mountain forest, with the five guards of the City Lord’s residence following close behind.

As for Ling Aotian at the back.

He used his dagger to break open the black-tusked boar’s skull to see if there was a demon core inside.

It turned out that there was indeed one.

“Menghan, it’s a demon core, don’t you want it?”

Ling Aotian happily held up a dark red crystal, the size of an egg, which was cold in his hand.

“No! You are not allowed to follow me!”

Xue Menghan dropped an irritated remark and continued to walk deeper without looking back.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Damn Jiang Mu!”

“How dare you treat me like a graveyard and cry for mercy?”

“If you dare to come later, I’ll make you cry!”

As she walked, she picked the trees that were good-looking and cut them off fiercely as if they were Jiang Mu.

Seeing this, Ling Aotian laughed helplessly.

“It seems that she is not satisfied with Lord’s arrangement.”

He knew the reason why Xue Menghan was angry.

It was because just a moment ago on the airship, Xue Menghan had said that she wanted to have a solo hunting adventure by herself. but City Lord Xue had objected and arranged for him, Ling Aotian, to accompany her, saying that they would have a lookout for each other.

“With her rebellious nature, that’s why she’s been angry until now, I guess.”

Laughing and shaking his head, Ling Aotian put the demon nucleus away in his Soul Ring and said to it.

“Master, this demon core, you can absorb it, it’s a little bit to recover a bit of strength.”

[Hmm.]

In the nano-ring, a little girl’s voice came out, hoarse with a bit of coldness, resembling a human and a snake.

Ling Aotian gruffly said to the ring.

“Master, I bought news from the Dark Night House.”

“The murderer who exterminated the Ling family village five years ago is a Spirit Devouring Sand Worm, and it’s in the Demon Beast Mountain Range!”

“This Spirit Devouring Sand Worm has a very high cultivation realm, and the disciple is no match for it.”

“But the disciple must take revenge! Otherwise, the disciple may give birth to a heart demon, which will in turn affect cultivation!”

“Therefore, I hope that Master can help the disciple!”

In the ring, a little girl’s voice, which sounded like a human and a snake, came out, hoarse and cold.

[Your current cultivation level is only at the Spirit Gathering realm, if you use the demonic power of this god, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to withstand the backlash for a long time].

Ling Aotian’s face was resolute and overbearing.

” The disciple is not afraid!”

“Even if my body dies, even if my soul flies away.”

“Disciple, I will still take revenge and avenge!!!”

[Then go to hell.]

” Th-This ….”

Ling Aotian, who was so domineering one moment, was like being poured down with cold water the next moment, speechless, and embarrassed:.

“Master …. The disciple is only speaking to express his feelings of revenge ….”

[Don’t talk nonsense.]

[It’s okay to help you, but once you’re defeated, retreat immediately and don’t linger on the battle.]

“Yes, Master!”

Ling Aotian regained his resolute face.

[But since you want revenge, that girl called Xue Menghan, leave her alone, silly love will only lead to becoming a burden on you.]

“Don’t worry, Master, I will only accompany her today.”

“Because City Lord Xue has told me, that Jiang Mu, who is also attending the hunting season today, will also be sure to stalk Menghan.”

“So, Lord Xue City wants me to protect Menghan.”

“After all, Jiang Mu was humiliated by the withdrawal of his marriage and will probably do something crazy to Menghan.”

[Jiang Mu….]

“Yes, a dandy and arrogant incompetent patriarch.”

” Menghan is the woman that I, Ling Aotian, am determined to win, if he dares to touch a single hair on Menghan’s head, I will cut him into pieces!”

[Jiang Mu cannot be killed!]

“For… Why?”

Ling Aotian was amazed.

From his Master’s tone, he heard a strong sense of importance.

Why would Master value Jiang Mu?

[There is no reason, don’t ask.]

“So what if …. He really hurt Menghan ….”

[Even if he took Xue Menghan’s virginity, he must not be killed.]

“That ……”

Ling Aotian felt a choking sensation in his chest.

He did not believe that his ruthless master was joking, so he had to say back in a depressed voice.

“Disciple… Understood.”

Although he didn’t know why his master had commanded this.

But seriously, think about it.

All along, Master had never harmed him.

If Master didn’t say why, she must have her reason!

Maybe it’s to protect me …. (T/N: What a hypocrite. Talking about it as if he owns it all.)

After he thought about it, Ling Aotian felt much better.

Using his dagger, he cut open the skin, flesh and bones of the black-toothed wild boar and put them into his other Nano Soul Ring.

He worked for a while before chasing up in Xue Menghan’s direction.

***

Inside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, in the middle of the open forest, there was a private airship parked.

On the deck of the airship.

Jiang Mu sat in a wooden wheelchair, staring worriedly at the woods ahead.

“It’s strange.”

“Why hasn’t Xue Menghan come out of the woods yet?”

“According to the plot, by this time, she should have come out with five guards, ah.”

“I’m not too early, am I?”

Jiang Mu pondered hard, unable to figure it out.

He had calculated the right time.

In the original plot, he would have met Xue Menghan on his private airship when he had just landed in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

But now five minutes had passed.

There was no sign of Xue Menghan either.

Suddenly.

Deep in the forest, a young girl’s panicked scream was heard.

“Help! Ah! No!!!”

?????

Why would someone scream for help?

That wasn’t part of the original plot!

And that voice… How come it sounded so much like Xue Menghan’s?

It couldn’t really be her, could it?

Jiang Mu’s heart grew even more worried and he hurriedly instructed Ding Nanrong next to him.

“Rong’er, someone is shouting for help, push me to check it out!”

As he didn’t understand what was going on and was afraid that it might affect the main plot, he had to go and check it out himself.

Ding Nanrong glanced faintly at Jiang Mu, knowing that he was faking being in a wheelchair and was just putting on an act.

But she didn’t provoke it either.

She was curious how Jiang Mu ended up kneeling to Xue Menghan, and was taught a lesson by Ling Aotian’s beating face.

So, walking up behind him, she grabbed the wheelchair with her hand and leapt off the airship with him in tow.

Then, pushing him, she quickly headed deeper into the forest.

Soon.

The duo arrived at the lake.

“Help!!!”

Another shrill cry for help from a young girl came from ahead.

“Crap nigga!”

Jiang Mu’s eyes nearly fell out of his sockets.

He was so shocked by the scene at the lake in front of him that he wanted to split on the spot!
