Chapter 1483 1343

Chapter 1483: Chapter 1343 Chapter 1483: Chapter 1343 “Today, the people from the Struggle Territory Court came and said that we’re invited to the territorial conference held once every ten years. At that time, the city masters of the major frontier cities, owners of private territories, heads of major powers, and some extremely prestigious individuals will all attend. Our New Moon Land has just recently gained independence and has never participated in such a meeting before, so we don’t know what matters will be discussed,” Liu Binglan said.

“Then let’s attend,” Chu Mu replied, still pondering over the matter of Chu Tianmang and not paying much attention to what Liu Binglan said.

“Aren’t you going to Struggle Capital next?” asked Liu Binglan.

“Do you want me to take part in this meeting?” Chu Mu inquired.

Liu Binglan shook her head and replied, “I know you don’t like these things. Of course, I will go. Why? It’s rare for your mother to accompany you on a trip, and you look unhappy. Do you think I’m in the way?”

Chu Mu then realized and quickly forced a smile, saying, “How could that be? It would be an honor.”

“That’s more like it,” said Liu Binglan.

“Perhaps if you make an appearance, Father might show up as well,” Chu Mu felt that this possibility was quite likely.

In Chu Mu’s memory, Chu Tianmang was supposed to be a very devoted man; at least during the time he was growing up, Chu Mu had not noticed him having any involvement with other women. However, whenever Liu Binglan appeared, his emotions always seemed a mix of complexity and helplessness.

“He is so arrogant and conceited. Maybe he already has brought you many brothers and sisters without our knowledge. It’s normal that he doesn’t dare to see us,” Liu Binglan huffed coldly.

“…” Chu Mu was at a loss for words for a moment.

It was clear that Liu Binglan’s resentment toward Chu Tianmang was very deep.

Originally, the relationship between Liu Binglan and Chu Tianmang was not very harmonious; both had their own thoughts, and both were stubborn-minded.

Furthermore, after so many years, Chu Tianmang had never appeared, which only intensified Liu Binglan’s resentment. Even if he couldn’t be bothered to see her, how could he not dare to see his own son? Little did she know how many years Chu Mu had been searching for him.

“He might have his own difficulties,” Chu Mu felt that he should speak well of his father, lest there be no chance for reconciliation between them.

Liu Binglan didn’t want to mention him and changed the subject.

Chu Mu felt even more helpless, now understanding why, when he was young and saw Liu Binglan, she always had a frosty expression on her face. Clearly, that coldness was meant for Chu Tianmang, but it inadvertently affected him too, causing him to inexplicably become somewhat afraid of his mother.

Chu Mu silently felt that, in the future, he must be extremely careful when mentioning his father in front of Liu Binglan.

After chatting with Liu Binglan for a while and setting a departure time, Chu Mu returned to his room.

Back in his room, Chu Mu’s mind was still preoccupied with the matter of Chu Tianmang. He didn’t understand why his father refused to show up and what was holding him back—could it genuinely be because of his association with the Dark Sect?

Regardless of whether it was the Divine Sect or Dark Sect, it had nothing to do with Chu Mu; Chu Mu didn’t care if he had joined the Dark Sect.

After much thought without a clear answer, Chu Mu simply stopped pondering it.

Instead, he remembered that Ye had now reached the immortal level. Along with his own possession of the powerful Double Evil Powers, he figured that there shouldn’t be too much trouble on his trip to Struggle Capital.

Changing out of his clothes, Chu Mu lay on his bed without turning on the lights, casually pulling over the blanket next to him.

As he did so, a soft squeal suddenly came from beside him. Turning his head, he saw a supple, curvaceous teenage girl wearing a semi-transparent nightgown lying on his bed, her smooth, ample skin and the enticing virgin fragrance making Chu Mu freeze for several seconds…

“Brother, what are you doing…” Ning Man’er blushed deeply, her voice barely a whisper.

Looking at Ning Man’er’s enticing and delicate appearance, Chu Mu was unsure of what to say for a moment.

He had been lost in thought until then. Although their souls were connected and he had sensed Ning Man’er nearby, Chu Mu always assumed she might be in the next room…

“I forgot this used to be your room,” Chu Mu said, his face turning red with embarrassment, scratching his head awkwardly.

Indeed, this used to be Ning Man’er’s room. Later, Ning Man’er left, and Ye Qingzi, who liked the place, moved in. Thus, this room became Chu Mu’s…

“Oh, so this is Brother’s room now. But Aunt Liu told me to sleep here…” Ning Man’er said. After finishing this sentence, Ning Man’er suddenly realized something, and her fair, pretty cheeks blushed even more.

“You sleep; I’ll go next door,” Chu Mu got up, feeling that if he stayed any longer, there might be trouble.

That young girl was no longer the little maid from before; her whole being radiated youthful allure. She possessed a supple, seductive figure and a face pure and beautiful like a fairy’s. If he didn’t maintain some distance, abstinence-strained Chu Mu feared he might entertain improper thoughts.

“Brother, not long ago, a very beautiful ghost princess suddenly flew in. She saw me changing clothes and then flew away…” Ning Man’er reminded Chu Mu as he was leaving.

“…” Chu Mu became even more speechless; the misunderstanding had grown even greater.

“I feel like she’s still at the Lakeside Pavilion,” Ning Man’er said.

“Okay, I got it.” Chu Mu closed the door of his room. With little desire to sleep anyhow, he simply headed towards the location of the Lakeside Pavilion.

Indeed, it had been a while since he had returned, and he hadn’t even greeted Princess Jinrou.

Inside the Soul Hall, there was a lake with a pavilion in the center, reachable by a wooden bridge. This pavilion was located behind Madame Liu Binglan’s Female Venerate Hall and was usually her exclusive spot.

The lake water was very clean, reflecting the deep blue stars in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a piece of the starry heavens had descended to the mortal world, but the occasional drifting leaf, creating ripples, reminded one that it was merely a reflection.

By the water’s edge, a pure soul dragged her white dress, standing there in silence.

She cautiously leaned her body over the water, her gaze fixed on the tranquil lake.

But in the water was only darkness and the stars above; her own reflection was absent.

A trace of loss and bitterness appeared on her face.

Princess Bai Jinrou did not know how long it had been since she had seen her own visage. After becoming a ghost, she could freely travel into the world behind mirrors, but that world was after all an illusion; in reality, her image didn’t exist, or perhaps she didn’t exist in this true world at all.

At this moment, Chu Mu stood not far away. He knew she loved water and loved gazing at its serenity, but seeing the fleeting loss and bitterness on her face, Chu Mu felt a pang in his heart as well.

It made Chu Mu think of the question the Sea Maiden had asked him on the ship.

“Jinrou,” Chu Mu approached the Ghost Princess and called out to her.

“Am I like the wronged spirits and fierce ghosts described in books? Is my hair very long, so long that it makes me seem like a demon? Are my eyes empty without eyeballs, hollow like a corpse…” Since transforming into a ghost, Princess Jinrou rarely appeared in front of strangers. She feared everyone did not want to sadden her, so they told her she was still beautiful even in her ghostly state. She could not see herself and had no idea if what they said was true.

“Don’t think like that. You are as beautiful as before, the most beautiful person I have ever seen…” Chu Mu hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “The most beautiful person I have ever seen.”

Princess Jinrou was stunned, her clear, water-like eyes fixed on Chu Mu.

Then, she lowered her head and said, “There are some things I’ve never dared to use my Mind Reading Technique on you for. I’m afraid knowing them would only make me sadder.”

“Go ahead and read,” Chu Mu said. “Some things I don’t even know the answers to, or perhaps, I don’t know how to express them.”

Princess Jinrou shook her head; even knowing the answers she sought, what significance would they hold? She was, after all, someone who had already died.

“I will help you find the Naihe Flower,” Chu Mu said earnestly.

Princess Jinrou did not reply. She sat beside Chu Mu, gazing at the lake water just as he did.

“Where will you go next?” Princess Jinrou asked.

“Struggle Capital. Will you come with me?” Chu Mu said.

“My father is taking me to the Struggle Sky Forest. The map indicates that there seems to be a Heavenly Stele there,” Princess Jinrou said.

Speaking of the Heavenly Stele, Chu Mu remembered the words Ning Man’er had shared with him.

Only Princess Jinrou could decipher the text on the Heavenly Stele. To unravel the mystery of the stele, Princess Jinrou’s help was indispensable. Chu Mu then told her what he had learned about the Heavenly Stele.

“Monument Weepers, Fake Monument Weepers?” Princess Jinrou fell into thought.

During the time Chu Mu had been away, Princess Jinrou had explored two Heavenly Steles in New Moon Land again, uncovering deeper information that coincided with what the Monument Weepers had told Chu Mu.

“Can you read memories?” Chu Mu asked.

“I can, but the one whose memories are being read cannot resist, otherwise it would cause severe damage to my soul,” Princess Jinrou said.

“I spent a long time gazing at the Lin City Heavenly Stele, and with my memory, I should have inscribed the text from the stele into my mind. Read my memories, and see what is written on the Lin City Heavenly Stele,” Chu Mu said.

“Alright.” Princess Jinrou nodded, reaching out with her finger to gently touch Chu Mu’s forehead.

Reading someone’s memory was a lengthy process and also drained her spiritual energy. During the process, Princess Jinrou had Chu Mu write down what she recited from his memories.

Chu Mu wielded the power of Space, and following Princess Jinrou’s reading, wrote the words in the air, forming a sequence of special symbols.

However, Chu Mu himself could not understand these incomprehensible symbols.
