CH 96

—I don’t know how long it had been.

Jiang Mu woke up to the smell of blood.

Reflecting in his eyes was a narrow cave.

Half of the cavern was a fishy, sticky pool of blood.

The other half, was where he was lying against.

“It hurts…”

“My chest hurts…”

“It’s like I’m locked in a steel pipe…”

Jiang Mu felt his body, bound by the steel pipe, and his chest was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

Looking down.

He saw that his chest was being firmly clasped by a pair of small, withered and white hands.

Turning his head to look.

It was the Black Water Fury.

She was leaning against the cave wall, her eyes closed.

Was hugging him tightly.

“Little cutie? Wake up.”

Jiang Mu shouted softly.

The Black Water Fury’s eyelashes fluttered for a moment and suddenly opened her eyes.

Those fierce golden vertical pupils were locked on Jiang Mu’s face in a deadly

Immediately.

A look of surprise filled those golden pupils.

“Bastard! You’ve finally woken up!!!”

The Black Water Fury was overjoyed, hugging Jiang Mu’s arms and uncontrollably tightening them a few times.

“Let go let go! My ribs are going to break!”

Jiang Mu seemed to hear a ‘cackling’ crunching sound from his ribs and hurriedly slapped Black Water Fury’s hand.

“Ah!”

Black Water Fury hurriedly let go of his arm, worry written all over her face.

“Are you alright?”

She hurriedly rubbed and patted Jiang Mu’s chest.

Only those fingers had withered like dried branches, with little flesh.

The rubbing caused Jiang Mu a raw pain.

“Your hand…”

Jiang Mu frowned and carried Black Water Fury to the front and placed her on his lap.

He scanned her body a bit.

She was already a loli and now had lost a few times more weight than she had at the beginning.

So he grabbed both of her arms.

Upon inspection, he found that there was little flesh left, and that they had become dry, leathery bones.

Her collarbones and shoulders were also extremely bony.

With his palms, he reached inside her skirt and held her ribs.

The bones felt extremely strong.

Upwards, there was only a slight obstruction.

Downwards, the pelvis felt extremely strong.

Further down, the humerus, the calf, the foot…

All of them felt like skin and bones.

Jiang Mu frowned in confusion and asked Black Water Fury.

“What’s going on?

“The Demon God realm can even manage to regenerate severed limbs.

“It should also be easy if you want to recover some flesh, right?

“Why aren’t you recovering?”

Black Water Fury narrowed her eyes and stared at Jiang Mu’s eyes as she answered back.

“Because the lifespan I overdrew by performing the Serpent God Jidai is the lifespan of my soul!”

????

The overdraft was the life span of the soul?

“Meaning, you can’t return to your original form?”

Jiang Mu’s frown deepened.

He felt frustrated for Black Water Fury.

Originally, she was petite and loli-like, how cute she was.

Now she was as thin as a bone.

No one could accept that.

The Black Water Fury smoothed her long white hair with her withered fingers and stared at Jiang Mu with a grim smile, saying.

“What, are you disgusted to see this god with this withered bone look?”

“….”

Jiang Mu was speechless.

Because of the master-servant relationship, the Black Water Fury was able to sense his emotions.

He didn’t dislike her at all.

Now that she could make jokes about it, it meant she didn’t care about appearances either.

“Bastard! You dislike this god!”

The Black Water Fury grabbed Jiang Mu’s shoulder and her gaze turned a few shades more hostile.

Jiang Mu didn’t say anything back.

He looked around the narrow cave for a week and found that there were only the two of them.

Where is he?

Then he asked urgently.

“Where are we? Where is that guy?”

Blackwater Fury coldly said back.

“This is a dark cave within the ancient tomb of the Serpent God.

“It is also a secret blood pool that I used to open secretly.

“As for that beast, Black Water Seat.

“He is still sleeping in the ancient tomb.

“It will be sleeping for at least another day.”

So that was it.

Then why come here again?

Looking at the slimy pool of blood in front of him, Jiang Mu asked curiously.

“What did you bring me here for? What is the use of this pool of blood?”

The Black Water Fury said discontentedly.

“You haven’t answered this god yet, say! Do you dislike this god now?”

“….”

Jiang Mu was speechless once again and just looked straight at her.

The look made her ears start to flush and burn.

“What are you looking at! You just dislike this god! Hmph!”

Hm?

Good lord.

Why does it feel like she’s… Spoiled Child?

Jiang Mu’s face turned odd.

So he moved closer to her face and stared at her intently.

“You… You’re still staring! Speak up! Do you dislike this god or not?”

Black Water Fury’s ears turned even redder at the stare.

Her little heart also started pounding.

Her withered fingers, which were gripping Jiang Mu’s shoulders, also unconsciously tightened a few points.

But she still had a fierce look on her face.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu, he had already understood.

She was pouting.

It was…

It was so new.

It was so funny.

Ha.

Jiang Mu felt a bit like laughing.

He found that Black Water Fury was really getting cuter and cuter.

The Black Water Fury saw how Jiang Mu wanted to laugh but held it back.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She didn’t know why she was holding on to the ‘dislike’ issue.

In fact, deep in her soul, she had long known that Jiang Mu did not dislike her.

But she didn’t know why.

She just wanted Jiang Mu to say it himself.

She wanted, wanted, wanted to hear Jiang Mu say it with her own ears, saying that he didn’t dislike her.

“Say it! Or else… Or else this god will beat you to death!”

“Pfft hahahahahahahahaha!”

Jiang Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“You dare to Laugh! Speak up!!!”

Black Water Fury was laughed at so much that she wanted to find a hole to burrow into, and was even more eager to gag him with a punch.

“Fine, I’ll say it, I’ll say it alright.”

Jiang Mu slowly stopped laughing.

Then he coughed lightly and stared seriously into her eyes.

He could see that there was anticipation and nervousness embedded in her eyes.

What a little cutie.

Hmm?

It was…

Jiang Mu was stunned.

He saw that there was a light mark at the corner of each of Black Water Fury’s eyes.

That was… Traces of tears!

Did she cry?

Then he asked directly.

“Little cutie, did you cry before?”

The anticipation and tension in Black Water Fury’s eyes were instantly replaced by panic.

So panicked that she slurred her words.

But she still had a ruthless face.

“Crying… So what if I cried!”

“If it weren’t for the fear of you losing all your soul power and never waking up from your sleep, this God wouldn’t be crying at all!”

“This God is the head of a clan!”

“And the peak powerhouse of the Demon God realm!”

“How can I cry like a child?”

“What a… Shame on me!”

“Superficial!!!”

“Blah blah blah!!!”

Hmmm.

No shame in hiding.

As expected of you, Blackwater Fury.

Jiang Mu was a little touched.

He smiled slightly and cupped his hands around her face.

Then Chu~ He slowly kissed the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

The Black Water Fury was surprised by his action.

But there was no escape.

She just waited with her big golden eyes open.

Bar-kee!

Bar – ki!

Jiang Mu kissed the tear marks off both corners of her eyes.

Only then did he naturally say that.

“I don’t mind you, never have.”

He had just finished speaking.

Black Water Fury’s breath caught.

Then she threw him to the ground.

A pair of withered hands grabbed his belt and hissed, !!

“Rub! Don’t pay for the clothes! You pay for it!”
