Chapter 287: Slumber
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
On the messy ground, the beautiful lady’s nude body flickered with a jade-like luster. The temptation from her could make any man unable to shift their gaze from her.
However, the beautiful lady that was before him wasn’t sweet tempered. When she heard Mu Chen’s muttering, her brows knitted together. Her figure moved, a fragrance swept over and Mu Chen’s body was knocked into the rock behind him. Thereafter, a fragile yet tight body stuck to him. At the same time, her slender jade-like hands grabbed Mu Chen’s throat.
“Do you believe that I won’t kill you?” Her voice was clear, like a spring stream streaking down the mountain, mixed with a cold temperature, causing the spring to be a little cold as well.
Mu Chen leaned against the rock, facing her threats. He couldn’t help flinging his mouth as he said in helplessness, “Kill me, then.”
It seemed like even though she had taken a human form, the Nine Netherbird’s character still didn’t know any tenderness.
Pffffft.
The beautiful lady before him smiled. Her jade-like hands gently touched Mu Chen’s face as she smiled tenderly, “Considering your previous action by withstanding that last lightning strike, I’ll not bother about you taking advantage of me.”
Mu Chen felt funny and extremely embarrassed. He couldn’t help shrinking his body to prevent himself from coming into contact with that body. Her body was certainly sexy and filled with wildness. She was like a female leopard that could easily evoke the temptation of men.
“Can you wear some clothes? Although you’re a Nine Netherbird, you’re in human form right now. So it’s still best if you take note of it.” said Mu Chen. This advantage wasn’t something that he wanted to take.
“Human forms are so troublesome.” the Nine Netherbird shook her head. Lustrous light surged over her body and some green-black clothing formed, covering all the spots that were revealed. Even with those clothes, her graceful physique looked extremely tempting, with her slender, yet fine waist and ample chest.
Only then, did Mu Chen feel relieved. That nearly wanted his life.
“Your Tribulation should have succeeded, right?” Mu Chen looked towards the Nine Netherbird and hesitated a little before adding on, “I still don’t know your name. Am I supposed to keep calling you Nine Netherbird?”
“Call me Nine Nether, then.” As she had successfully passed through the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation, she was extremely happy. She smiled as she patted Mu Chen’s shoulders, “in the future, let this older sister take care of you.”
“However, it was still impossible right now…” Nine Nether suddenly frowned her brows and added, “I still have not completed the last step.”
“What?” Mu Chen asked in doubt.
“Although I have successfully gone through the tribulation, my physical body still has yet to evolve into the physique of a Divine Beast. Therefore, for a period of time, I’ll be in a slumber to evolve my physical body. Wait till I appear again, then I would have successfully evolved into a Nine Netherworld Bird!” Nine Nether’s eyes, filled with ambition, surged forth with anticipation.
“Nine Netherworld Bird…” Mu Chen nodded. That should be the evolved state of the Nine Netherbird. Although there was a word difference, Spiritual Beasts and Divine Beasts were extreme opposites.
“In the period of time that I’m asleep, don’t lose that life of yours. We are contracted through the Bloodline Bond, so I don’t want to suffer a backlash from the Bloodline Bond unknowingly, after I’d just succeeded the Tribulation.” Nine Nether’s eyes glanced at Mu Chen as she said.
Mu Chen felt a little regretful. He thought that he could have a powerful bodyguard, who could have thought that she would need to be in a deep slumber. If that’s the case, didn’t he lose a trump card instead?
“In this period of time, if you can’t afford to offend, then hide. Wait until I wake up, I’ll kill everyone that’s bullied you. Understood?” Nine Nether smiled tenderly.
“I’m not that weak.” Mu Chen said helplessly.
“Okay then, I’ll start. You should leave after waiting awhile. The commotion caused by my tribulation was too huge. I’m afraid that it’d be noticed by those old fellas of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and they might come over to take a look.”
Nine Nether reminded him before the black flames surged over her body, while her long and narrow eyes streaked with traces of the mysterious purple flames.
The raging black flames rose, turning into a light screen as it shrouded Nine Nether. The black flames started to solidify, bit by bit, before turning into a huge black egg that was roughly the size of a human’s height.
Feathery winged runes appeared on the huge black egg, they were ancient and cryptic as the flickering purple light could be vaguely seen.
When Mu Chen saw that Nine Nether had turned into a huge egg, having falling into a deep slumber to start her last evolution, he made a waving action and stored the egg in his Mustard Seed Bracelet. It seemed like, for a period of time in the near future, he could only depend on himself.
However, he was filled with anticipation. When Nine Nether wakes up, with her strength, she should be able to contend against Sovereigns, right? At that time, this bodyguard of his would be very powerful.
“Time to leave.”
Mu Chen took another glance at the chaotic land, before making a move, soaring up into the sky and made several flickering moves before disappearing into the horizon.
