Chapter 7: You Best Be Obedient, Or I’ll Smack Your Bottom (1/2)

Gu Yunjue grabbed Mu Chen’s hand, “Master, don’t you feel that hanging it here isn’t suitable?”

Mu Chen did not understand what Gu Yunjue meant and tilted his head. “How is it not suitable?” Mu Chen asked Gu Yunjue.

This type of thing needed to have someone use their spiritual power often to support it. It couldn’t just be simply placed into a storage ring. People often say that the most important things should be hidden near the chest. Not only that, the color of the bell was vermillion, so it looked nice hanging from Gu Yunjue’s neck.

Gu Yunjue helplessly smiled. “Master, I can make it recognize me as it’s master.”

“All divine things have a spirit. Your physique will be harmed if it refuses to accept you as it’s master. It’s better if you wait until it becomes familiar with your spiritual power.” Mu Chen appeared to be firm on the matter. Mu Chen always did things at his own pace, so Gu Yunjue didn’t have a chance to refute. He held his neck and let it hang there. While Gu Yunjue did that, Mu Chen spoke again, “Your Master doesn’t want to smack your bottom, so you best be obedient.” With those words, Mu Chen glanced towards the small whip on top of the table, making the meaning of his threat clear.

Gu Yunjue hung his head in defeat. However in his heart, he was plotting for that day when he could return those words back to his Master. That day, he would also grip his Master’s neck to scare him while telling him, “I don’t want to spank your bottom, so Master best be obedient.” After thinking about that scene, Gu Yunjue started thinking about more ways to take advantage of his Master. It was all quite interesting to Gu Yunjue.

A bell hanging on Gu Yunjue’s neck as he ran around the place was a sight that was beautiful to the point that Gu Yunjue couldn’t bear to see it. Gu Yunjue spent the entire afternoon in a meditation pose, not making any movements. This was because the bell would jingle with any movements that he made.

Contrary to Gu Yunjue’s attitude, Jing Ming was extremely envious of him. He excitedly ran around Gu Yunjue, trying to get him to remove the bell and let him wear it for a moment. Gu Yunjue had not said a word before Jing Ting flew over and sent his brother flying with a kick. After kicking his brother, Jing Ting grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him away. Gu Yunjue helplessly shook his head. He took this moment when nobody was paying attention to him to make the Protection Soul Bell recognize him as its Master.

It was later that night once Mu Chen had entered into meditation mode that Yanyang Palace turned so quiet that only the rustling sounds of the wind brushing against the bamboo forest could be heard. Gu Yunjue took out a summoning talisman to see the entire story of how Mu Chen had obtained the Protection Soul Bell. Gu Yunjue’s face gradually became more serious as time went by. Why must it be the Protection Soul Bell? Why not give him something else? Despite having suspicions earlier, he had brushed it off as just a coincidence. He didn’t expect that the Protection Soul Bell was really what Mu Chen had demanded from the Sect Master.

Gu Yunjue had a faint idea of what may be going on based on the timing of Mu Chen’s appearance into his life. However, he felt that it was too unbelievable. He could have a second chance at life because he had practiced Spirit Devil Cultivation. What was the reason for Mu Chen’s current behavior and deeds? If he knew what happens in the future, why was he being so good to him instead of just killing him?

Gu Yunjue could not think of a reason no matter how much he thought about it. He knitted his brows together in annoyance and asked the person on the other side, “What is that Cave Master doing right now?”

The other side respectfully replied to him, “He is currently reconstructing his body.”

“Kill him once he succeeds. Make sure that you do this cleanly and do it in a way that Yanyang Palace won’t be involved.” The Cave Master must be bearing grudges against Mu Chen for having his corporeal body abolished. In the future, if there is anyone that bears any enmity towards his Master, then they will be handled by him so that his Master’s hands could always remain clean.

“Young Master, would these types of side missions ruin the actual mission that Master has handed to us?” The man who was summoned asked Gu Yunjue, feeling uneasy.

Gu Yunjue’s lips were slightly raised, revealing a warm smile. However, it caused the other to tremble all over and lower his head even more. He didn’t dare to leak any other thoughts that he had. He knew just how frightening this five year old child could be. His body was so small yet it contained a terrible demon inside. His spirit soul might even be of a higher caliber than that of the Upper Lord. His ambition even surpassed him as well. On the way here, a piece of his spirit soul was taken away by Gu Yunjue. He now had his life and death completely in the child’s control. The only thing that he could now was to obey him.

After noticing that the other didn’t fight back, Gu Yunjue chuckled. “Remember who your Master is. Don’t make me unhappy.”

The other let out a breath and hurriedly agreed with Gu Yunjue, “Your subordinate understands and will take care of your orders.”

Gu Yunjue’s smile held no warmth in it. “You guys do not need to worry about my Lord Father,” Gu Yunjue paused for a moment and in that moment, his smile became even more brilliant, “His lifespan is about to come to an end. Instead of dealing with me, he would rather spend his final moments trying to think about how he can live a few more years.”

It was early in the morning when Mu Chen was sitting on his bed meditating that he could feel the boundary that he placed around himself sway. He opened his eyes to see his little disciple running energetically towards him. He was excitedly yelling, “Master!”

Mu Chen quickly caught him in his arms. He was in a good mood from being able to see his little disciple’s smiling face so early in the morning.

“Look, Master!” Mu Chen saw that Gu Yunjue held the little bell in his palm. The Protection Soul Bell emitted a white light that gradually became transparent until it completely melted into Gu Yunjue’s body.

“How did you do that?” Mu Chen pulled his little disciple’s hand closer and looked at it in amazement. Even though he knew that Gu Yunjue would be to get this thing to recognize him as its master in the future, he didn’t expect that Gu Yunjue at five years old would be able to do so.

“It voluntarily recognized this disciple as its master.”

“Voluntarily?” Mu Chen happily picked up his little disciple and hugged him. He patted the other’s head while he genuinely praised him. “You are such a genius.”

Gu Yunjue gently laughed. The tinkling sound of his laugh was full of childishness. It was actually very simple to make this divine tool recognize him as its Master. In his past lifetime, since the Protection Soul Bell was his magical tool, he knew what it wanted most. Anything with a spirit had a weak point. All he had to do was to completely grasp the nature of the tool.

Gu Yunjue’s eyes swept around in his room, and he unconsciously smacked his lips. His little Master had lived for many years and the things in this room were so dull. His life had always been so simple. It was so simple to the point that the arrangement within the room hadn’t changed for a hundred years. There was nothing that was different. Gu Yunjue had an indescribable feeling that he should throw away everything and change them to something more luxurious. His Master’s identity was deserving of only great and luxurious things!
