Chapter 539: Deploying the Formation (2/2)

Han Shuo was slightly bothered by the statement and asked, “What’s the matter with that Brayshaw, anyway?”

“Uncle Brayshaw came from a eccentric race that lived far from civilization. People of their kind all looked like that. When he first came to War Demon Valley, Uncle Brayshaw was discriminated by many. However, under my father’s protection, and his own powerful strength, he gradually gained a footing in War Demon Valley.

Uncle Brayshaw even regularly played with me when I was little. He’s a modest and approachable person. It’s just that his voice sometimes alternates between male and female. He’s certainly not someone like Brakyah who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I truly hope you do no harm to Uncle Brayshaw over some small matter,” Jasper said those words of persuasion to Han Shuo for fear that he would dispose of Brayshaw with any random excuse that arose. She seemed to care a lot for Brayshaw.

Han Shuo nodded with creased brows and replied, “I see. Not to worry. As long as he doesn’t try to provoke me, I wouldn’t do a thing to him.”

With Han Shuo’s reassurance, Jasper’s heart loosened up. She put on a smile and mentioned the task that Han Shuo had given her two days prior, “Oh, by the way, about that bone tablet you asked me to check, I have found its origins. ”

Han Shuo’s look jolted. He hastily asked, “So what did you find?”

“You might really need to take a trip to Black Jade City. This bone tablet was obtained from Lord Manticole. Back then at Black Jade City, my father managed to advance to the level of Demon with the assistance of Great Demon King Manticole. Lord Manticole was delighted with him and let my father choose anything he liked from his weaponry depot. This bone tablet was one of the items that he selected. My father later found out that this bone tablet served no function and just threw it into the depot,” explained Jasper.

“Manticole… From the looks of it, he definitely knows about it…” Han Shuo mumbled to himself and turned to Jasper, “Alright. Why don’t you go home and continue meditating? I reckon that in just a few days, you will be able to sense the presence of mental strength.”

After having interacted with Han Shuo for the days now, Jasper had grown the utmost respect for the mysterious Han Shuo. Therefore, upon hearing Han Shuo’s words, she put on a smile, nodded, and left without saying another word. However, she mumbled to herself as she left, “Hmph, I know he’s rushing back to his manor for Hemanna and Sylph, those the two little vixens…”

Han Shuo’s sharp ears managed to pick up with total clarity those soft mutterings of Jasper’s. He couldn’t help but laugh, and thought to himself, It seems that it’s time to find a chance and pluck down Jasper. Otherwise she’ll just keep cursing me behind my back.

Han Shuo was welcomed back to his own manor by the two tender and beautiful ladies, none other than Hemanna and Sylph. All smiles, they each took one of Han Shuo’s arms and lead Han Shuo straight to the room. Their eyes revealed strong indications of love.

“We will postpone it for today. I need to cultivate for a while in the secret chamber,” Han Shuo apologetically explained to the two as they walked inside. Afterwards, he entered the secret chamber exclusively found in this manor all alone. Once inside, he went deep underground, and finally withdrew the ring that contained Gilbert’s soul.

Han Shuo had been communicating with Gilbert these days and Gilbert was aware of the environment they were in. Now that Han Shuo had sufficient materials and Gilbert’s soul was mighty enough, he said to Gilbert, “Gilbert, I have gathered all the materials needed to refine you a body. Even without your original skeleton, I can forge you a pretty good physical body. Would you like to try?”

“Nevermind, master. I can wait a little longer and I much prefer my original body. I’d rather wait until we have returned to Profound Continent, and forge a new one with my original body as the foundation.” After having cultivated his soul for so long, Gilbert now possessed an extremely tenacious soul. Han Shuo believed that if Gilbert had a new physical body, he would be able to make leaps and bounds.

“Alright, then. We shall wait a little longer. But don’t you worry, it won’t be too long. I have already made some progress. After the matter of these two days are over, we will head to Black Jade City right away and look for an interplanar transportation array.” Han Shuo knew that Gilbert had gotten somewhat anxious, especially when he informed Gilbert the little lewd dragon of the brilliance of alien abyssal ladies. He was beginning to grow restless.

After consoling Gilbert, Han Shuo chanted an incantation and summoned the Little Skeleton with the intention of transferring necromancy memories to him.

But when Little Skeleton traveled across planes from the netherworld and stepped onto the Abyss realm, Han Shuo was immediately shocked by the Little Skeleton he saw.
