Chapter 241 - “Bribing” Future Father-in-Law (1/2)

Luckily, Huang Juyun soon arrived, saving Zhang Che from further “torture”.

Rushing here all the way from Qian Wei City, Huang Juyun didn’t take things slowly and indicated Zhang Che should follow him to the study for a talk after greeting his parents.

After entering the study, Huang Juyun directly dove into the main topic, asking, “Tell me, what happened after you were sucked into the black door?”

Zhang Che didn’t directly answer the question. Instead, he asked one of his own, “Uncle Huang, do you still remember me telling you about the matter about me eating a strange spiritual flower in the beast world?”

Zhang Che felt that he needed to talk about that demonic flower first, because he kept feeling there was some huge secret behind it, and it was very likely that it involves the safety of every person on Mercury.

Huang Juyun was slightly taken aback. He nodded, indicating for Zhang Che to continue.

“Actually, I didn’t eat the spiritual flower, but was nearly eaten by that strange spiritual flower…” Zhang Che started talking about his experience in the southeastern swamp in the beast world behind the Qian Wei City spatial gateway. Of course, he wasn’t silly enough to talk about the rainbow crystal. He only said that he suddenly woke up when he realized the demonic flower was about to consume him, and subsequently winning the battle of souls.

Huang Juyun’s brow started furrowing. He didn’t pursue on how Zhang Che managed to triumph over the demonic flower’s soul. After all, it was but a plant, no matter how powerful it was. How strong could its soul be? Naturally it wouldn’t be a match for a human soul.

What he paid more attention to was the origin of the demonic flower.

“So, you getting sucked into the black door is related to that demonic flower?”

Zhang Che nodded. He continued, “That’s right. When I got pulled in, that irresistible force seemed to latch directly onto every cell in my body. I couldn’t move at all. It was only afterwards that I thought of the possibility that it was a kind of mysterious strength the demonic flower had hidden in my body.”

Huang Juyun’s expression grew serious. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of the truth of this mysterious disappearance incident.

“Then, how did you struggle free from the vacuum from that mysterious force in the end and escape from it?”

This was the most crucial part. Zhang Che focused himself and said, “Uncle Huang, I once spotted a divine bird with golden lightning all over its body and a wingspan of over a hundred meters in the beast world behind the Qian Wei City spatial gateway.”

-Huh? What is he talking about?-

Huang Juyun looked at Zhang Che doubtfully as the latter continued, “I saw that divine bird again after I was nearly consumed by that demonic flower. At that time it was chasing a huge dragon and it seemed to have taken a glance at me when it flew through the sky.

“After I got sucked into that spatial tunnel-like plane by that mysterious vacuum, I suddenly thought of that glance the divine bird shot at me. Afterwards, I suddenly felt a surge of strength in me and it directly pulled me out from that tunnel.”

Zhang Che, who was lying through his teeth, had no idea that he had almost hit the nail on the head about the truth of the matter. Well, that was if he were really discovered by that divine bird after his body got altered by the demonic flower.

Huang Juyun fell silent for a long while. He spoke with a stern look, “Don’t tell anyone else about this matter… right, did you tell Tielan and the others about this?”

Zhang Che hurriedly shook his head. “Why would I? I know this is no small matter. I wouldn’t tell anyone who shouldn’t know about it.”

When they were done talking about this somewhat serious part, Huang Juyun revealed a faint smile and asked, “Tell me, where exactly did you go when you came out of that spatial tunnel, and how did you return here afterwards?”

Zhang Che didn’t hide much. He told him about his arrival at an area filled with prehistoric ferocious beasts, and gaining benefits from the side through a stroke of luck, pretty much picking up a legend-quality beast card on the ground.

Well, the legend-quality beast card Zhang Che was referring to was the Purple Crystal Tortoise…
