Chapter 1265: Chapter 1129: The Xuan Object that Steps into the Soul Master Grade Chapter 1265: Chapter 1129: The Xuan Object that Steps into the Soul Master Grade Chu Mu nodded, roughly grasping what Lan Rao meant.
âIf thereâs nothing else, you can go back,â Chu Mu said.
Lan Rao performed a courtesy and spoke, âKing Chu, if there are any decisions made, you can come and find me.â
Chu Mu called for a Holy Guard and instructed him to lead Lan Rao to the guest courtyard, allowing Lan Rao to pick a place to stay at her leisure.
Reciprocating manners, Chu Mu couldnât be bothered to quibble with someone from outside the Dark Sky Sea World anymore. Since they had come to protect this place, they might as well stay; it could be considered an increase in combat power for the Wanxiang Realm.
After Lan Rao left, Chu Mu quietly chanted the spell, summoning Yu Suo to his presence.
As Lan Rao was speaking just now, Chu Mu had already lifted the prohibition of the First Soul Contract. After summoning her, Chu Mu directly asked, âAre the things she mentioned true?â
âYes,â Yu Suo nodded.
After two years of rigor, this prideful and arrogant queen had somewhat realized that she couldnât escape Chu Muâs grasp anytime soon, so she was much more obedient than at the beginning, answering whatever Chu Mu asked.
Naturally, Chu Mu knew that with the womanâs personality, it was impossible for her to submit so easily. As for what she was scheming, Chu Mu had a rough idea in his mind.
âA war on the scale of millions, the Wanxiang Realm would no doubt be defeated. Isnât there any other way?â Chu Mu asked.
âThere is. The Cloud Realm has the power to reclaim, and the independent leaders have the right to choose the manner of battle. A million-scale war is one type, another is for the territory owner to confront it, and they must defeat the ruler directly above that independent territory,â Yu Suo replied.
âThen who is the upper ruler of the Wanxiang Realm?â Chu Mu inquired.
âI donât know,â Yu Suo said.
âYou donât know?â
Yu Suo, during her time as Empress, seemed to have already taken care of matters in the Cloud Realm, knowing clearly who the ruler was ought to be.
Yu Suo glanced at Chu Mu, seeing this fellow looking at her with skepticism, she huffed and said, âHow could I possibly remember the name of such a character?â
âWhat about his strength?â Chu Mu asked.
âI donât know,â Yu Suo continued to reply expressionlessly.
âThen you can go back,â Chu Mu chanted the spell, intending to send her back to the Soul Pet Space.
Upon hearing she was about to be sent back, Yu Suo immediately became anxious, her stubborn eyes carrying a trace of pleading, looking as though she had something to say but hesitated.
âAll right, if you have something to say, just say it,â Chu Mu showed rare compassion.
âGive me three days to cultivate,â Yu Suo hurriedly said. Just like Chu Muâs strength came from the combination of Soul Sense and White Demon Power, Yu Suoâs power also derived from the fusion of her own Soul Sense and the Good and Evil Flower King.
Rarely, after nearly two years of being scorched by Demon Flame, her mental power was about to step into the Dominator Level, and with this breakthrough, her strength would increase significantly once more.
âDo you think I would give you that time?â Chu Mu said, finding it amusing.
The increase in her strength could potentially free her from his constraints.
âYou⊠your own strength has been improving so slowly!â Yu Suo said, somewhat annoyed.
Chu Mu didnât mind the abrupt shift from gentleness to fiery anger in Yu Suo. He said leisurely, âSeems like my Soul Pet Master talent was taken by you, right?â
âNo!â Yu Suo reacted quite quickly.
The Old Raccoon Li had already indicated that Liu Binglan was clearly a First Level Species Ranking human, meaning that as her son, Chu Mu should also inherit the talent that allowed her to easily reach Soul Emperor without cultivating. However, Chu Mu did not have it, and Liu Binglan also suggested it might have been taken by the Defector Girl.
As for how to take it back, Chu Mu was also considering that now.
Yu Suo seemed to realize something was amiss. Chu Muâs talent was very important to her power increase. If it were to be taken back, she didnât know how long it would take for her Good and Evil Flower King to grow to the Tenth Rank.
With the nasty Old Raccoon Li around, Yu Suo wasnât sure if that wretched elder would be able to find a way to steal back the talent.
Her heart became flustered, and she quickly spoke, âTalent isnât meaningful at your current level. I can help you step into the Soul Master GradeâŠâ
âHow can you help?â Chu Mu was indeed eager to step into the Soul Master Grade. Otherwise, apart from the Mutant Mo Ye, it would be very difficult for the strength of his other Soul Pets to advance any further.
âIt requires some Xuan Objects for assistance, which Wanxiang Realm and The World Realm definitely lack. Havenât you already planned to head to the Cloud Realm? I know a place that has Xuan Objects that can help you step into the Soul Master Grade,â Yu Suo said.
Yu Suoâs tone had softened quite a lot, smooth and soothing to hear, almost like singing. It caused the nearby Holy Guards who couldnât help but look over here, secretly wondering when a woman had appeared beside King Chu.
Chu Mu could roughly discern whether the woman was telling the truth or lying.
To tell the truth, Chu Mu had already asked the Fox Elder if there was a way to snatch back his talent, but the Fox Elder had said that he couldnât think of any effective method.
Interestingly, the moment Chu Mu mentioned it, this woman confessed without being coerced.
At Chu Muâs current level, talent wasnât really useful anymore. What mattered most now was stepping into the Soul Controller grade. Once he ascended to the Soul Controller grade, he would focus on crazily enhancing his Soul Petsâ combat power, and his Soul Sense would naturally grow stronger. Since Yu Suo said she had a way to help him reach the Soul Controller grade, it was certainly good news.
While they were talking, the Crown Prince and Mu Qingyi slowly approached.
Both of them glanced at Yu Suo standing beside Chu Mu and showed a hint of wariness, but then they thought that since this woman was already a prisoner, there was probably nothing to fear.
âChu Mu, we heard that youâre planning to go outside Yunmen?â the Crown Prince was the first to speak up.
âYeah, weâll leave once Qingzi finishes her refining,â Chu Mu said.
âIt seems you and your wife are going to continue wandering the world,â the Crown Prince said with a smile. But, suddenly realizing that Mu Qingyi was beside him, he stealthily glanced at her and quickly covered it up with a dry laugh.
The words of the Crown Prince really made it difficult for Mu Qingyi to speak up.
Mu Qingyi herself was very committed to the path of Soul Pets and, knowing that there was an outside world, she also longed to venture out and seek higher realms of cultivation. But since the Crown Prince suggested that Chu Mu and Qingzi were the ones to wander the world, it put her in a position where she was unsure whether to join them or not.
Even though rumors were spreading about her extraordinary relationship with Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi could sense that Chu Muâs heart was filled only with Ye Qingzi. She didnât want to join them if it might disrupt their relationship, as her pride wouldnât allow her to do such a thing.
After much hesitation, Mu Qingyi decided it would be better to go on her own.
The news that King Mu was not dead but in the Cloud Realm gave Mu Qingyi a direction. She planned to find this great-grandfather first; perhaps some of her family members were also there.
âWhat, youâre not planning to come with us?â Chu Mu was somewhat puzzled by the Crown Princeâs comment.
The Crown Princeâs eyes lit up, and he said hastily, âYou mean to include us too?â
The Crown Prince and Mu Qingyi had both stepped into the Dominator Level. If they wanted to ascend further, they would have to seek the outside world, and Chu Mu was well aware that both were eager and desiring of reaching a higher level. If they werenât interested in venturing beyond, that would be more surprising to him.
âHaha, I was just afraid youâd think weâre too weak to go with you,â blurted out the Crown Prince.
Chu Mu could only give a wry smile. Strength was always growing, and the area outside Yunmen was unfamiliar. Having more people join was at least a form of mutual assistance.
âWhat about you, Qingyi?â Chu Mu asked.
Since it wasnât just Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi going on an adventure, Mu Qingyi no longer had the problem of intruding. She nodded her head, obviously feeling it was better for everyone to go together.
As the three talked, a Holy Guard accompanied by Lan Rao slowly approached.
âWhy is she here again?â Chu Mu said, somewhat baffled as he watched Lan Rao approach.
Lan Rao had returned because she thought it necessary to inform King Chu of the other method of choosing combat when claiming independent territory. Intentional omission could backfire.
However, Lan Rao had not anticipated there would be someone beside Chu Mu who was quite informed about the outside world.
âKing Chu, I forgot to mention, thereâs another method of combatâŠâ Lan Rao once again bowed and, with a glance upward, said,
She first looked at Chu Mu, then her gaze swept over the Crown Prince and Mu Qingyi.
Lan Rao had seen the Crown Prince and Mu Qingyi before, and being a woman, she subconsciously compared herself with Mu Qingyi.
Then Lan Raoâs gaze fell upon Empress Yu Suo, who stood behind and to the side of Chu Mu, and suddenly, the smile on her face froze.
Could there really be someone this beautiful in the world?
After a moment of distraction, Lan Rao hurriedly averted her eyes. When she encountered women with superior looks and aura, it was natural for Lan Rao to make comparisons, as it perhaps is for most women.
However, standing in front of this woman dressed in blue petal garments, she felt an instant sense of self-reproach. Such flawlessly beautiful visage was almost irresistible even to other women; the noble and proud aura she unconsciously exuded was like a snow lotus blossoming on the summit of an iceberg â utterly out of reach!
Lan Rao could hardly believe that such an extraordinary woman existed here.
What shocked her even more was that this woman stood submissively beside the King Chu, whom she wanted to tempt, yet the King remained unmoved.
âI already know,â Chu Mu didnât let Lan Rao continue, and said, âI will leave this place soon. If any unexpected incidents occur, I hope Miss Lan can provide timely assistance.â
âOf course⊠thatâs natural, our purpose here is to protect this territory,â Lan Rao said, her smile returning, âWell⊠Lan Rao will take her leave first.â
Watching Lan Rao leave, the Crown Prince made a point of observing Empress Yu Suo, who stood obediently beside Chu Mu, and couldnât help but chuckle quietly to himself, âIt seems sheâs had her pride wounded.â
