Chapter 770 (2/2)

Cai Xiao lifted her alluring face, alighting gracefully onto a tree, without any effort. Her slender figure was concealed between the dense leaves.

Gu Lin turned his gaze towards Mu Chen, holding up his fist, as he said, “Brother Mu Chen, thank you for your help. I will remember this favor of yours. And if you require any help next time, just ask me for it.”

Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders, and replied, “You have the upperhand. If I continued to refuse, I would have been the one losing out regardless.”

Generally, the stronger ones, like Gu Lin, would not have cared about the choice made. Gu Lin could have forced him to agree, since he was powerless against both of them. However, both of them did not stoop to that level, which actually left some good impression on Mu Chen.

“Hehe, even if you really refused us, we would not do anything to you. For if we did, and our mother were to hear about it, we would get it from her!” Gu Lin smiled.

Mu Chen laughed out loud, his fondness for Gu Lin having significantly increased. The two of them were now sitting around the campfire, chatting happily.

While on the tree, the girl was leaning against the branch. She closed her bewitching eyes, raising her lip lines while listening to their laughter her perch above.

“Hee, Mu Chen?”

The next day, early morning.

In the midst of the mountain range, which was filled with nothing but trees, Mu Chen looked at Cai Xiao, who was standing beside him. Once again, he sighed helplessly. He looked at Gu Lin, who was standing in front, shrugging his shoulders as well.

Both of them could not handle her, evidently.

“Brother Mu Chen, I shall leave my sis in your care. If you see any ignorant fellow, just take him out. I will take care of the consequences.” Gu Lin held his fist up and smiled.

In his long black robe, he looked delicate and fine. Mu Chen could tell that both of them came from an extraordinary family.

Mu Chen nodded his head, smiling in his reply, “It’s almost time, and we have to go. Once you are done with your mission, you can wait for her outside the Dragon-Phoenix Rift.”

“Goodbye.”

Mu Chen held his fist up, cast a glance at Cai Xiao, and took his leave first.

Gu Lin watched his back as he left, before he turned to Cai Xiao and sulked, “Sis, don’t be too harsh. If our parents find out, I will be getting a scolding again.”

“Be good. Keep a secret for me, and I will reward you.” Cai Xiao grinned, as she bid goodbye, “I’m leaving!”

She did not wait for Gu Lin to continue. Without any hesitation, she waved her hand and vanished into a beam of light, sweeping across the sky to chase after Mu Chen, who has already gone far.

Gu Lin gazed as they slowly disappeared. He sighed resignedly.

“Little Lord, will Missy be alright with him alone?” A space behind Gu Lin started to twist open in the air. A dark and unclear shadow mystically surfaced, with an old and hoarse voice asking.

Gu Lin nodded, but scratched his head, his face filled with helplessness. It is true that the Real Dragon Blood is precious, and hard to get, but this sister of his had seen all sorts of treasures. Logically speaking, she should not get too tempted with the Real Dragon Blood. But why had she decided to go Dragon-Phoenix Rift then?

“Don’t worry, although her power has been suppressed, I doubt anyone from the younger generation in the North Territory will be her match. If the rest of the Sovereigns are ignorant, they should consider themselves unlucky. Our dad has left his Soul Mark in mine and her bodies.”

“Let’s go, we have to move, too.”

Gu Lin swung his arm, turned around, and stepped forward. He disappeared into the twisted space in front of him, vanishing into thin air. The dark shadow went missing as well.

The forest was back to its peacefulness once again.

On the other hand, Mu Chen moved at full speed across the sky. Within a few minutes, he was out of the mountain range. He glanced aside and saw the girl, her arm behind her, following after him effortlessly.

He did not manage to shake her off.

Mu Chen curled his lips and slowed down his speed.

“You wouldn’t be so naive to think that you could shake me off, right?” Cai Xiao and Mu Chen were moving side by side now, as she tilted her head and asked mockingly.

Mu Chen touched his nose, feeling embarrassed. “Can we have a deal?”

“Speak out.”

“Can you put on a veil? If you smile at anyone like this, that would be a huge problem.” Mu Chen gave her his honest suggestion.

The girl stared at him with her bright eyes, ignoring his suggestion entirely. As soon as her fair-skinned foot stepped itself forward gracefully, she darted to the faraway land, and only her crisp and clear voice could be heard from afar:

“No way!”
