Chapter 769 (2/2)

“Come, let’s eat!”

Before Mu Chen could refuse, the youth in black had stuffed the roasted meat into Mu Chen’s hand. He then started to gorge himself on the meat. He ate so quickly, that Mu Chen stared at him blankly. Mu Chen had encountered weird things in the middle of the night.

He looked at the sky quietly. He was in no mood to think. The youth was so powerful, that Mu Chen was in no position to resist him. Mu Chen then started to eat as well.

As both of them were eating, the girl sat by the side and watched them, with her chin resting on her hands. The moon was high up in the sky, and there was a mess beside the fireplace.

Mu Chen rested himself against the huge tree and rubbed his stomach. He had not had such a big meal in a long time. When one had reached a certain level of cultivation, they seemed to fast easily.

“Hahaha, this friend is forthright. I am Gu Lin. This is my elder sister…” The youth wiped his mouth and said to Mu Chen with a satisfactorily look.

“Cai Xiao,” the girl glanced at the youth and said.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes. He was not good at making up a fake name. He let out a sigh and said, “I am Mu Chen. I am on my way to Dragon-Phoenix Rift.”

“Dragon-Phoenix Rift? I have been hearing this name recently,” Gu Lin scratched his head and said, with a puzzled look.

“Are you not from North Territory?” Mu Chen was shocked. All the people in North Territory would have known Dragon-Phoenix Rift.

“You are right. We are not from Tianluo Continent either. We just happened to pass by this place,” Gu Lin said with a smile.

Mu Chen nodded, then stared at Gu Lin for a long while before asking, “How long have you been cultivating?”

Gu Lin looked slightly older than Mu Chen, but he was extremely powerful. This was a blow to Mu Chen. If Gu Lin looked truly his age, Mu Chen would not have been able to take it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin gave an awkward smile. He said vaguely, “Do not compare yourself with me…I have been cultivating for a long time, definitely longer than you.”

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. If Gu Lin looked his age, he would be a monster, and not a human.

Mu Chen then turned to look at the charming girl. Her gaze looked weird. She should be Gu Lin’s sister, as they had mentioned. Since Gu Lin had been cultivating for many years, her age would be…

Mu Chen had goosebumps when he thought of the girl’s apparent age, as compared to her actual age. As though she had sensed what Mu Chen was thinking, Cai Xiao raised her eyebrows and said, “I am not a witch!”

Gu Lin, who was sitting beside Mu Chen, laughed, then went near Mu Chen and said, “My sister’s body is a bit unique. She often falls into a deep sleep, which is why she looks so youthful.”

Mu Chen smiled, embarrassed now. Although he was curious about the uniqueness in her body, he dared not ask, as they had just met each other.

Cai Xiao stared at Mu Chen and suddenly asked, “I have heard that there is real dragon blood in Dragon-Phoenix Rift. Is it true?”

Upon hearing this, he realized that both of them were ignorant of Dragon-Phoenix Rift. So, he told them everything about it.

“Truly there is real dragon blood.” After hearing what Mu Chen had said, Cai Xiao’s eyes sparkled.

When Gu Lin saw this, he jumped up in shock and quickly said, “Sis, we are not here for Dragon-Phoenix Rift. We have to finish the task that father has given us.”

“You will complete the task alone. I am going to Dragon-Phoenix Rift. If I can get ahold of the dragon blood, Xiao Cai will be able to evolve, and I will not go into a deep sleep constantly,” Cai Xiao said openly.

“Ah?” Gu Lin quickly said, “Are you going alone? No. Father has said that you cannot travel alone. If he found out about it…”

“If you keep it from him, he will not know about it,” Cai Xiao smiled at him and said. She waved her fist at him and continued, “You know the consequences of betraying me, don’t you?”

“Sis, don’t do that!” Gu Lin shouted. He instantly stared at Mu Chen. He regretted giving Mu Chen a treat.

Mu Chen pretended not to see it. He touched his nose and was prepared to set off. He wanted to stay away from the two of them.

“Hey.”

Before he could refuse, Cai Xiao looked at him seductively, with a smile, and said, “Please bring me to Dragon-Phoenix Rift.”

Mu Chen froze. He looked at the fiery glare on Gu Lin’s face, and instantly understood what it was like to shoot himself in the foot.
