Chapter 876: Chapter 743: Bai Jinrou, the Daughter of Demon Emperor Bai Yu
Chu Mu opened his eyes and saw a flustered Xiang Yunyin, feeling baffled.
He tried to move his body and found that he had been frozen stiff. If he forced himself to move, he might break a bone with a crisp snap.
âDonâtâŠdonât move around,â Xiang Yunyin quickly came to her senses, her face flushed. She didnât know what she was panicking about.
This was a normal reaction for Xiang Yunyin; any Soul Emperor standing in front of Chu Mu would be flustered for a while, after all, this young man was a half-demon!
Chu Mu merely blinked his eyes as an answer.
It wasnât long before Liu Binglan floated into the ice hall, looking at Chu Mu with a delighted expression on her face.
...
As she grew older, time left no trace on Liu Binglan; however, her maternal aura deepened. When she saw that Chu Mu had finally woken up, her eyes welled up with tears as she continuously asked if he was feeling unwell.
Ever since Chu Mu was thrown onto Nightmare Demon Island, he had spent most of his time alone. Now his mentality was mature, and he didnât need anyoneâs care. Still, the feeling of someone caring warmed his heart, especially considering that it was his birth mother.
This caused a subtle change in the mindset of Chu Mu, who hadnât interacted much with his mother since childhood.
Liu Binglan gently wiped away her tears. She had been strong, never shedding a tear for over a decade, but now she couldnât stop crying.
Barely able to move his frozen hand, Chu Mu stiffly wiped Liu Binglanâs tears for her.
This unintentional act caused Liu Binglan to pause before her face broke into a tearful smile.
Chu Mu did this subconsciously, but to Liu Binglan, it was undoubtedly Chu Muâs genuine acceptance of her as his mother.
Liu Binglan knew that Chu Mu hadnât denied her as his mother, but he had always held a faint indifference and unfamiliarity towards her.
It wasnât until now that she saw a hint of emotion in Chu Muâs eyes. This subtle change was essential for a mother filled with guilt and shame.
Watching Liu Binglan, Xiang Yunyin couldnât help but stare in awe. The cold beautyâs elegance could leave one breathless, but who could know that when she showed a warm and touched smile, it would be another breathtaking sight? Even Xiang Yunyin, a woman, had trouble looking away.
âWhatâs wrong?â Liu Binglan held Chu Muâs frozen hand, noticing a change in his expression and asked worriedly.
Chu Mu spoke with difficulty, using his Soul Sense to tell Liu Binglan, âNothing, thereâs just something that emits strange light when in contact with tears.â
Liu Binglan didnât pay much attention, saying, âYou must be hungry, let me get you something to eat.â
âIâm not hungry. Iâve used too much ice attribute spirit items, and my soul is already immune to them. Just help me defrostâŠâ Chu Mu said through Soul Sense.
While Liu Binglan exhausted her Soul Power to help Chu Mu alleviate the high temperature, Chu Muâs consciousness had been awake; he decided to follow Old Foxâs advice and sleep for a few days.
After sleeping for a few days, Chu Mu found that the effect of reducing the high temperature in his soul was minimal if at all. When Xiang Yunyin helped guide the ice attribute spirit items into him, their effect was minimal as well. Chu Mu decided to stop wasting these Emperor-Level ice attribute spirit items and opened his eyes.
âAlright, Iâll help you remove the chill,â Liu Binglan nodded.
Old Fox had already said that only Heavenly Immortal Ice, a pure spirit item, could directly affect Chu Muâs soul high temperature. Liu Binglan planned to take Chu Mu directly to the Desolate Forbidden Zone as her Soul Power recovered.
âSister Lan, let me help you remove the cold. You havenât recovered your Soul Power yet,â Xiang Yunyin didnât want to bother Liu Binglan and recited a spell to use the power of her Soul Sense to draw out the ice attribute energy from Chu Muâs body.
This process wasnât difficult, and in about half an hour, Chu Mu regained control and movement of his body. As he struggled to sit up, the bones in his body cracked and popped.
âWho made this ice coffin for meâŠâ Chu Mu muttered. The ice bed had been displeasing at first glance, and now that he looked closely, it was even more irritating. It was an ice coffin!
Chu Mu instinctively tried to climb out, but suddenly noticed Xiang Yunyin blushing.
âUh⊠my clothes were burned offâŠâ Chu Mu said with an embarrassed expression. He had no idea that he was naked and quickly pulled a set of long robes from his Space Ring to wrap himself up.
He never expected that he had been exposed to two women. Liu Binglan was his mother, so Chu Mu didnât mind, but with Xiang Yunyin⊠it was a bit of an issue since Chu Mu was waiting to share his first time with Ye Qingzi!
Of course, if Chu Mu knew that he had been briefly exposed in front of countless men and women Soul Emperors while washing away the gastric juice of the Little Hiding Dragon, he wouldnât know what kind of expression to have on his face.
âŠ
Chu Mu knew Liu Binglan had consumed a lot of Soul Power trying to reduce his body temperature, so he let her rest and exercised his body.
Liu Binglan was worried about Chu Mu and followed closely.
As they walked around Soul Hall, Chu Mu noticed that many people looked at him strangely, with a few of the older generation even showing a hint of reverence in their eyes.
Chu Mu had spent some time in the World City Soul Hall and was familiar with a few people. Their gazes were the same as those of strangers, making him feel even more peculiar.
âThe Inverted Reflection Spring can reveal the situation near the Demon Suppression Tablet. Many people know about your ability to transform into a half-demon,â Liu Binglan explained.
âWhat, they know?!â Chu Mu exclaimed in shock!
This half-demon was Chu Muâs most secret secret, and it must never be known to others. Otherwise, Chu Mu wouldnât be able to survive in the realm of Soul Pet Masters, and would face the suppression of the Soul Covenant, his archenemy!
Most importantly, it would implicate Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, Little Hiding Dragon, Mo Ye, and others!
âDonât worry, your grandfather has set an example. After you saved World City, the forces of our Soul Hall, Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Pet Palace, Elemental Gate, Business Association, and Hunting Association from various Earth Realms will support you as the ruler of the Ten-year Throne. After the unrest in Immortal City is quelled, you will be the King of World City. No matter how powerful and authoritarian the Soul Covenant is, they dare not do anything to you, at least not during the ten years of your reign.â Liu Binglan said gently.
âKing of the World? Support me as king?â Chu Muâs expression wasnât very rich, but now his face showed the same excitement as an ordinary person who got a great benefit!
It wasnât that Chu Mu wasnât calm enough, but the unexpected crown had simply overwhelmed him!
Back when he first set foot in World City and saw the magnificent Throne statue, Chu Muâs heart was filled with tumultuous feelings, setting the Throne as his ultimate goal. But now, only a few years had passed, and he was about to sit on the royal throne. It felt like a dream!!!
Seeing Chu Muâs astonishment, Liu Binglan told him the conditions required for the Ten-year Throne. Chu Mu realized that the Throne required contributions to World City, not just relying on strength. Of course, without absolute strength, it would be impossible to make a contribution that would impact a city rich in thousands of years of human civilization.
Becoming the King of the World, one couldnât help but be excited, especially for someone as young as Chu Mu. He might be the youngest person to ascend the royal throne in thousands of years!
Most importantly, with the backing of the three major powers, it seemed that there was no need to worry about the Soul Covenant coming to cause trouble for him. So what if they found out about his half-demon? Maybe the three major forces would take care of everything he needed to enhance his Soul Petsâ strength, and he would just have to work hard, and everything would naturally fall into place!
âŠ
Later, Chu Mu asked Liu Binglan about the situation of the Immortal City rebellion.
Liu Binglanâs response was that the unrest in Immortal City was not optimistic, and it would take a long time to suppress it.
âThe situation has been suppressed to the minimum, and itâs just a matter of time before things settle down,â Liu Binglan thought Chu Mu cared about the Worldâs well-being, so she said with a smile.
Chu Mu cared not about the World, but he couldnât help thinking that if he hadnât been able to control this disaster at the cost of his life, it would have been too worthless. And how could he give the scheming defector girl a resounding slap?
âMom, you mentioned earlier that youâre planning on pardoning the prisoners and letting them reclaim their Soul Pets in Immortal City?â Chu Mu recalled this and asked immediately.
âYes, why?â Liu Binglan wondered why Chu Mu was interested in this.
âCan⊠can the princess be pardoned as well?â Chu Mu remembered Princess Jinrou and couldnât bear the thought of a young girl like her being imprisoned for twenty whole years.
Seeing Chu Muâs concern for a girl, Liu Binglan seemed to understand, gave a knowing smile, and said softly, âOnce you become the King, who canât be pardoned?â
Chu Mu knew that Liu Binglan had misunderstood and shook his head helplessly.
âI have the list of pardons here, and her name is Bai Jinrou.â Liu Binglan knew that Chu Mu already had a girl, but as a mother, she didnât mind her son having more girls. Whatâs more, Liu Binglan had met Princess Jinrou and felt that they were a good match.
âSo her family name is BaiâŠâ Chu Mu learned Princess Jinrouâs full name for the first time.
âYes, didnât I tell you that she is the daughter of the previous Demon Emperor?â Liu Binglan said.
âWait⊠her full name is Bai Jinrou?â Chu Mu suddenly froze, standing still.
Liu Binglan looked at her son with puzzlement.
âThe previous Demon Emperor, wasnât he called Bai Yu, the one who transformed into the strongest half-demon?â Chu Mu asked anxiously.
Liu Binglan didnât understand why Chu Muâs face became so serious and nodded, âYes, thatâs him!â
Bai Yu, the strongest half-demon in history, had to be controlled by sacrificing countless Peak Emperor experts. The older generation was terrified of half-demons because the loss back then was too tragic. The current decline of World City had its direct cause in the half-demon Bai Yu.â
Liu Binglanâs words made Chu Mu feel a wave of coldness engulf him!!
This cold feeling welled up from his heart and spread to every part of his body, making him shiver!!
âHalf-demon⊠Bai Yu didnât die, did he?â Chu Mu asked in a very, very cold voice.
âHow did you know?â Liu Binglan asked in astonishment.
Only the elders of World City knew the secret of Bai Yuâs survival, and the only high-level people that Chu Mu could have got in touch with were Liu Binglan and Elder Liu. Even Master Li couldnât possibly know this secret!
âSo⊠was half-demon Bai Yu⊠was he sealed in Immortal City?â When Chu Mu asked this question, he could already feel his breath becoming suffocated.
Because he had a premonition that this conspiracy had not been suppressedâŠ
Perhaps, this conspiracy was just reaching its true climax!!
