Chapter 44: Such an adorable person, I really want to hide you somewhere only I know. (1/2)

Translator: DragonRider

“Mu Chen, do you want to participate in the pill concocting competition?”

“Mu Chen, let’s duke it out!”

“It’s said that your master defeated my father a hundred years ago and won the title of ‘the best pill alchemist in the world’. This time I’m gonna seize the reputation back.”

“All pill alchemists gather together for the competition. You really have no interest in it?”

“Mu Chen…”

Mu Chen, “…you are so annoying!”

According to Mu Chen’s temper, he would just frown and walk off toward those he had no interest. Now he just said “annoying”, which proved how aggravating the man was.

Gu Yunjue was intended to intervene, but he just got spirit to enjoy the lively expression on Mu Chen’s irritated face. ‘It’s so lucky to see my sweetheart having so many kinds of expressions!’ he thought. Mu Chen was always too indifferent, which gave him a delusion that master didn’t belong here and would someday ignore all worldly affairs and fly away in a blink.

Gu Yunjue had already heard about the pill concocting competition. No wonder the devil realm was busy in capturing pill alchemists. It turned out father wanted to seize this opportunity to take in some talents for his personal benefits. He was so eager to survive, but he’d killed too many innocent people. In order to hide his inner devil from the heaven, he finally got the idea to possess the body of his closest kin to retake charge of the devil realm in the future.

The devil robbed what he wanted all the time. Humans, in his eyes, were just tools to be used. Back when he wanted a son, he just captured so many beautiful women to bear children and never gave their lives a damn.

As Gu Yunjue thought of that, a trace of mockery flashed beneath his eyes, and it was hard to tell whether he was mocking his devil father or how he himself was born.

Seeing Mu Chen was not a bit tempted, Bo Jinyu gritted his teeth as if he had made a tough decision and whispered, “Friendly reminder—there are quite generous awards!”

Mu Chen speeded up and meant to get rid of him. Unfortunately, although Bo Jinyu might have nothing to match Mu Chen, the no named blanket beneath him should help to keep pace with Mu Chen’s flying sword, “The awards include blue lotus, Collecting-soul and Cultivating-body Grass, Demon King’s Horn, Green-glass and Red-fire Ding, and Jade Zoysia Pungens…”

Jade Zoysia Pundens?!

Mu Chen stopped abruptly, while Bo Jinyu had exceeded for miles and hastened to turn around before he timely responded to Mu Chen’s crash-stop. The master and the servant were just like two lanterns floating in the air, trembling as they flew.

Mu Chen turned his head with slight disdain for their poor taste, recalling that in his last life he had obtained Jade Zoysia Pundens by killing an evil pill alchemist within a secret boundary.

‘The pill alchemist won Jade Zoysia Pundens in the Pill Concocting Competition?’

“If master is interested, we can go there to have a look.” Gu Yunjue uttered in a sudden, his words full of irrepressible favor, which certainly sounded obedient as to Mu Chen. Although Gu Yunjue didn’t mind robbing the herb over, he did want to walk around with his master. Restrained by the master-disciple relationship within Lofty Cloudy Sect, he had to be cautious when doing something because there always were some people standing in his way. ‘Little master is quite blank and dull at that kind of stuff. If we are out…’ Gu Yunjue snickered more obviously, but what he’d thought about was known to nobody.

“After your birthday, you are supposed to experience more things.” Mu Chen rubbed his little disciple’s head and sighed with thoughts.

‘A few days later little disciple will reach manhood and it’s time for him to see the world.’

With that thought, Mu Chen replied, “All right! As you said, we go and have a look.”

“You agreed?” Bo Jinyu was so excited and turned back to stay beside Mu Chen, “How about we go there together, so that we can look after each other on the way.” He talked to Mu Chen while his eyes stared at Gu Yunjue because his intuition told him that only getting Gu Yunjue involved could help him to irritate Mu Chen. Anyhow he had forgotten the reason to get Mu Chen angry. It seemed that he was just so sulky to see that look of indifference and superiority on Mu Chen’s face.

Mu Chen recalled Chu Qianshuang’s words again—“It’s hard to get rid of him once you are pestered by him! So terrible!” This person should dare to look at little disciple with such infatuated eyes. So he had been attracted by little disciple’s valiant look at the first sight and expected to establish a relationship?

Mu Chen had forgotten that his little disciple was not at all valiant while embracing him for consolation. At present, his eyes were full of hostilities toward Bo Jinyu, his heart feeling a little suffocated, ‘Why so many people come to scramble for my disciple with me?’

Thereupon, Mu Chen suddenly turned his face, “Get away!”

Bo Jinyu, “…You!” Totally a psycho!

“Puff…” Gu Yunjue couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He was completely amused by Mu Chen.

‘Such an adorable person, I really want to hide you somewhere only I know.’

Mu Chen stretched out to pinch his little disciple’s face. Anyhow he was not happy and just wanted to punish his disciple to give vent to his anger.

Since then, Mu Chen found himself pestered by the ‘lantern’ all the time. No matter where he went, Bo Jinyu just followed him in a decent distance.

As Bo Jinyu was the young master of Pill City, Yue Mingze revered him as a distinguished guest and prepared him a seat in the viewing stand, just beside Mu Chen’s, so he just stuck like a leech to Mu Chen and wouldn’t leave.

Mu Chen stared at Yue Mingze with a cold look, which scared the little Sect Master. Yue daren’t to look over but grabbed tightly Yu Tianyi’s sleeves and simpered, “Sect Master Yu, let’s continue the conversation about the cooperation between our two sects. There are some details I still can’t understand.”

Yu Tianyi, “…” He’d been pestered recently by this little sect master so that he couldn’t even spare a moment to visit Mu Chen.
