Chapter 180: Strange Changes-II (1/2)

”Damn, this will take a while to clean. Those bedsheets and my clothes are as good as useless now.” Lin Mu muttered to himself in frustration.

~Sniff~

~Sniff~

Finally, Lin Mu could feel the stench assault his nose.

'I need to take a bath too now.' Lin Mu thought.

He then laid there for another hour, after which he could finally feel the strange fatigue fading away. He then stood up and stretched.

~Pop~ ~Pop~ ~Pop~

Popping and cracking sounds were heard as Lin Mu stretched. The stiffness in his joints was being relieved with each moment. Lin Mu clenched and unclenched his fist, finding that the movements seem to be slightly better.

Lin Mu did not think much of it and started cleaning up the mess in his room. After he was done with it, he gathered up the bedsheets and his clothes in a ball to be thrown away. Finally, he went to and took a bath to clean himself of the blood and bits of flesh.

Lin Mu didn't even bother heating the water and took the bath with ice-cold water, not wanting to bear the disgusting feeling anymore. Thankfully, his body tempering realm cultivation was very high, allowing him to bear the cold without shivering or with his teeth chattering.

Steam could be seen rising from his body after he was done with his bath due to the difference between his body temperature and the surrounding temperature. It was still snowing right now, and the snowflakes would melt away as soon as they touched his bare body.

Lin Mu quickly switched to a new and clean set of clothes before checking out the area around his house. He knew he had yelled out in pain and was wondering if it was loud enough to escape the confines of his house. He had expected for at least Hei Ping to have heard it as he was standing outside his house.

Fortunately, it seemed like he had not yelled out as loud as he had thought. No one else seemed to have heard him or they would have definitely been wondering what was happening in there and the guards would have been gathered outside his house by now.

~Phew~

”At least I escaped that. It would have been far too bothersome and difficult to explain to them what had happened.” Lin Mu muttered to himself as he took a breath of relief.

Lin Mu decided to return to his house to continue his cultivation. He did check his dantian and saw that he only had half of his spirit qi for now, as only that much was replenished while he had slept. He thus sat down cross-legged and chanted the severing heart sutra to replenish his spirit qi.

Two hours later, the snow had stopped falling and even the sun had come out from behind the clouds as they had finally scattered away. Lin Mu opened his eyes as he could feel his stomach rumble with hunger.

”What!? I ate an entire spirit beast earlier, how am I still hungry?” Lin Mu exclaimed with astonishment.

~Sigh~

'This just keeps on getting more confusing.' Lin Mu thought before standing up and going towards the kitchen.

He quickly cooked some beast meat and ate it. But unlike before, this time his stomach was bulging like it should have been.
