The soul skills sold in Heng City were indeed much cheaper than those at the old vendorās place, requiring only forty gold coins. Chu Mu decisively bought the book and, instead of learning it right away, went directly to the Soul Pet Palace to see if there were any decent soul pets available.
Chu Mu took a look around the Soul Pet Palace but didnāt find any suitable soul pets. Or rather, even if there were soul pets that Chu Mu was very satisfied with, their prices were in the hundreds or thousands of gold coins, something Chu Mu simply couldnāt afford at the moment.
āIt seems Iāll still have to capture one myself. I just donāt know where Xia Guanghan is taking me to,ā Chu Mu said.
With twenty-four gold coins left, Chu Mu spent ten gold coins on buying food for MO Ye. MO Ye now needed to eat second-rank dual-attributed soul cores, and they couldnāt be of poor quality, so feeding MO Ye was quite a big expense. At present, it required at least ten gold coins a month.
Of course, the better MO Yeās food was, the faster MO Yeās growth, strength improvement, and attribute growth would be amplified, so Chu Mu was willing to spend the money.
With the remaining fourteen gold coins, Chu Mu bought two more soul skill books. The two soul skills were Whirlwind and Riding Wind.
Whirlwind, many soul pets that controlled wind power could use this skill, and it was very practical.
Riding Wind, this skill was naturally for assistance, allowing soul pets or oneself to speed up with the power of the wind.
After White Nightmare Demon reached the second rank, Chu Mu became a Four Thoughts Soul Master, and the balance between soul powers was not broken; Chu Mu still only had 20% of his soul power available for use.
Of course, Chu Muās current 20% soul power was definitely more than before, as his soul sense had become stronger now, and he could accommodate more soul power.
About two days after waiting in Heng City, Xia Guanghan appeared as expected.
This time, Xia Guanghan was not alone. Beside him was a veiled young girl. The girlās attire wasn.chain t very flamboyant, but one could see that every piece of decoration on her body was of high value.
āIs he the one you spoke of?ā The veiled young girl looked at Chu Mu after seeing him, her expression showing no change.
The girlās eyes were very beautiful. Chu Mu had seen various celebrated beauties in his clan in Gangluo City, but he had rarely seen a girl with eyes as captivating as hers. Even without seeing her face, Chu Mu was sure that the girl must have an extremely gorgeous appearance.
āNo, heās just one of my slaves. Iāll discard him halfway through the journey,ā Xia Guanghan indifferently replied.
Chu Mu remained silent, carefully listening to the conversation between the two. Both of their tones were bland, but Chu Mu could still capture some details. At the very least, when he listened to Xia Guanghan, he could hear an air of respect for the mysterious girl.
Chu Mu didnāt say a word and followed Xia Guanghan when he asked him to come along. He quietly guessed the identity of the girl that could command even the extremely haughty Xia Guanghan to show a hint of respect.
Chu Mu followed Xia Guanghan and the young girl for a day in Heng City before leaving the city and entering the Heng Sea again.
Seemingly to accommodate the veiled young girl, Xia Guanghan didnāt summon his Lan Jia Dragon Turtle but rode a luxurious ship deep into the
ocean.
Xia Guanghan placed no restrictions on Chu Muās actions and didnāt pay any attention if Chu Mu had any minor moves.
As of now, Chu Mu still hadnāt figured out where Xia Guanghan was taking him and could only follow them blindly.
Late at night, Chu Mu sat alone on the deck railing, facing the sea breeze, and stared at the black ocean ahead.
Half a year of isolated life had already made Chu Mu somewhat disgusted with the oceanās taste. Yet when feeling lost, Chu Mu would still sit in the wind with a view of the distant, unknown world ā the ocean, the starry sky..
āIs that your pet?ā A clear, bell-like voice rang in his ears. Chu Muās thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head around.
What appeared before him was an elegant, curvy young woman. Her veil fluttered lightly with the sea breeze, revealing a delicate chin and pink lips. āItās my Soul Pet.ā Chu Mu corrected the womanās words and gently stroked Little MO Xieās head.
Little MO Xie had a unique charm when not maintaining Chu Lianās state. When Chu Mu walked with her in the city streets, she always drew the excited screams of many girls, who wanted to touch and hug the beautiful little creature. But, seeing Chu Muās cold demeanor, they lost their courage.
āSoul Pet?ā The girl showed a bit of surprise, obviously not realizing that a cold and indifferent teenager like Chu Mu would have such a Soul Pet.
Chu Mu didnāt feel like explaining further.
The veiled girl seemed not to like Chu Muās lukewarm attitude either. After
glancing at Chu Muās Moonlight Fox, she stood alone on the other side, gazing at the sea.
Chu Mu slanted his eyes, watching the girlās enchanting silhouette.
At this point, MO Yeās claws, previously showing some gentleness, quietly stretched out. The pair of silver eyes became sharp, staring intently at the young lady ten meters away.
āForget it⦠Itās too risky like thisā¦ā
In the end, Chu Mu shook his head, his hand caressing MO Yeās soft fur. MO Yeās claws retracted, and her eyes returned to their gentle state. She lay on Chu Muās thighs like a coquettish little girl.
As MO Ye lay comfortably sleeping on Chu Muās thighs, Chu Mu took out the three Soul Skill books he had purchased and began to familiarize himself with the spells.
Soul Skill ā Flame Attachment was a Soul Warrior skill. Chu Mu would probably need ten days to recite the spell thoroughly, and as for actually casting it, it might be hard to accomplish without practicing for half a monthā¦
The sea journey was dull and continued like this for nearly half a month.
During this half month, the White Nightmare Demon grew by one stage, and MO Ye, despite not fighting much, reached the Second Rank Ninth Stage under the nourishment of high-quality Soul Cores.
As for Chu Mu himself, he finally completed learning the Soul Skill Flame Attachment and could fully attach fire power to MO Yeās body.
āPrison Island is a special island of our Nightmare Demon Palace. People who have committed crimes and are sentenced to death are thrown there, giving them a chanceā¦ā Standing on the deck, Xia Guanghan looked at the vast sea and said to Chu Mu,
āThis island opens once every three years, and each time, three thousand prisoners are sent in. Three years later, Prison Island will open once more, and at that time, the Demon Palace Executors will send a ship to take away the one who survivedā¦
Xia Guanghan recounted slowly, his tone so bland. But to Chu Mu, these words sent chills down his spine!
Xia Guanghan deliberately emphasized āthe one who survived,ā which meant that out of three thousand prisoners, only one person would survive!
