Mu Chen helplessly looked at the arc that Luo Li made with her mouth. It felt dangerous, but, at the same time, he couldn’t help wanting to laugh as he could sense a rare jealousy from her tone.

“You’re still not explaining!” Luo Li understood Mu Chen too well. The moment she saw the smile in Mu Chen’s eyes, her face immediately turned red as she pretended to the angry and stared at him.

Mu Chen held onto the beauty’s slender waist and tightly embraced it. After some silence, he did not intent on hiding the existence of the Nine Netherbird from Luo Li. Hence, he simply briefed on the matters regarding the Nine Netherbird.

“Nine Netherbird?” when Luo Li heard his explanation, she was faintly startled. Especially when he heard that earlier on, the Nine Netherbird managed to succeed in the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation, the astonishment on her face grew even richer.

She was, after all, from the Luo Shen Clan. Henceforth, she had some knowledge towards powerful Spiritual Beast Clans. Among the Spiritual Beast Clans, the Nine Netherbird was rather powerful. However, she never expected one to be hidden in Mu Chen’s body.

“You actually dared to take the Divine Black Lightning?!” However, her eyes widened shortly with palpitation filling her eyes.

Not even Sovereign experts would dare to come in contact with the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation and with Mu Chen’s strength, if there was any mistake, it would mean turning into ashes.

“I have contracted the Bloodline Bond with the Nine Netherbird. If she dies, I will also suffer the backlash.” Mu Chen helplessly smiled and added, “But looking from any direction, it was impossible for me to watch her get destroyed by the Lightning Tribulation.”

“A Bloodline Bond!?”

Luo Li couldn’t help opening her small mouth and take a ruthless bite at Mu Chen’s chest, “You’re killing me from the anger.”

She naturally had some understanding towards the Bloodline Bond. Thus, Mu Chen and the life of the Nine Netherbird was linked together and no matter which side suffered a threat to their life, the other party would suffer a backlash from the Bloodline Bond.

Mu Chen scratched his head and didn’t know how to explain it. Back then, there wasn’t any other choice but to establish the Bloodline Bond. However, the girl that was in his embrace was just jealous, so he didn’t make any explanations but embraced her tightly.

“But, it’s good. She had succeeded the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation and when she awakens, she will be an existence comparable to Sovereigns. And, in the future, you will be safer and I’ll be more at ease.” Luo Li wasn’t someone that would pester endlessly. After releasing some of her jealousy, she recovered.

Mu Chen looked at the young girl, remembering that she will leave him to return to the Luo Shen Clan to bear a huge responsibility and was trying her best to endure everything, becoming the new Empress of the Luo Shen Clan. Mu Chen felt a faint heartache as he lowered his head to the young girl’s forehead, “But, I’m not at ease about you.”

“Even you’ve lost to me in the past, what is there not be at ease about?” Luo Li faintly smiled.

Mu Chen didn’t have the heart to joke with her. His black pupils stared at her seriously. Luo Li’s pretty eyes slightly move away and said in a soft voice, “What?”

“Luo Li.”

Mu Chen’s tone was grave and serious as he slowly spoke, “Remember, no matter what happens, you have to wait for me. Perhaps it will be hard for you in the Luo Shen Clan, but believe me, for you, I will become stronger, no matter how hard it will be, until the day I can fulfil my promise to you.”

Luo Li’s eyes turned red from looking at Mu Chen’s grave gaze. She knew how difficult Mu Chen had to work hard in order to fulfil his promise. The path of experts was enough to cover someone in wounds and lose their formal clean smile.

Perhaps all that hard work and tempering could refine this youth’s face to be more mature. But, at the same time, it made her feel some heartache.

“Okay, I promise you.” Luo Li’s voice was gentle, as though it was about to melt. Her clear eyes flickered with affection.

Mu Chen’s eyes turned slightly heated from looking at the touching appearance of the girl that was in his embrace. The arm that he used to embrace the girl became even more forceful, as though he wanted to merge her into his body.

He lowered his head.

“Don’t.” The girl emitted a sound that was as faint as a fly as she seemed to have sensed something. However, it was disregarded by the youth and with a tyrannical method, he planted a kiss on those rosy red lips.

The girl slightly struggled, but quickly relaxed her body. She was like a puddle of water as she melted in Mu Chen’s embrace.

In the next three days, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy turned more and more heated with an astonishing speed. The entire atmosphere in the academy felt as though it had been ignited.

The origin of that fire was, naturally, the Hunting War.

This was the biggest annual event in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Every single year, there would be countless black horses that would soar into the heavens and expose their achievements in that year.

Every time the Hunting War ended, there would be a huge change in the rankings of the Heavenly Ranking.
