Chapter 77: God! (1/2)
Translator: Claire.KK
In view of Mu Chen’s cultivation of Late Demigod Stage, it was really unnecessary for him to use any spirit power to kill a cultivator who was in Foundation Establishment Stage. Only physical power would be enough. He could kick such a man to death as long as he wanted. However, having been stamped for so many times, the fat guy looked a little untidy while no scratch could be found on his body.
The man picked himself up with one hand holding the back of his head and the other covering his face. Then he couldn’t help crying loudly, “You are so unreasonable! Love of beauty is common to all men. You can impede my body from getting close to a romantic relationship, but you will never be able to force me to give up my will of pursuing true love!”
Hearing his words, Mu Chen’s eyes got cold in a sudden. ‘Pursuing true love? Body? Will? Go to pursue true love in the hell!’ cursed Mu Chen in his heart.
Noticing the murderous intent around Mu Chen, Gu Yunjue immediately held his waist tightly with his arms, persuading, “Master, please keep calm! It’s not advisable to kill him now. I will sort him out when we get into the city.”
“What?” asked the fat guy fearfully, as if he had heard something pretty scaring, “You are going to get into the city?”
Mu Chen gave a snort of contempt, reluctant to pay any attention or give any response to the fat man in front of him.
“Well, there is something wrong now. It seems that we are heading for different destinations. So I have to say goodbye to you. We will meet again if fate allows!” Finishing his words, the fat man was about to flee away, holding the corner of his robe in his hands.
Gu Yunjue raised his foot and kicked the fat guy to the ground. It was obvious that he did it more fiercely than Mu Chen did.
That fat man’s face quickly twisted in pain. As he held his waist with his hand and was about to curse, he caught sight of a pair of deep dark eyes. His mind then got blank in a sudden. A strong feeling of suppression made him suffocated and swallow hard out of fear. His forehead was wet with cold sweats. “What... What do you want to do?” The fat guy couldn’t speak his words smoothly because of nervousness.
There was a smile on Gu Yunjue’s face, but the murderous atmosphere around Gu’s body made the fat man feel that he was going to be killed.
“I just want to ask you a question. Did you just come out of Snow City?” asked Gu Yunjue in a gentle but dangerous voice.
“Yes, I did.” The fat guy sat rigidly upright.
Gu Yunjue took out a superb spirit stone, suggesting, “How about leading the way for us?”
The fat guy quickly shook his head without casting a glance at Gu Yunjue. “No, I can’t go back. Otherwise, I will be killed!”
Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes replying, “Don’t worry. We will protect you.”
“No, no, no, I can’t go back.” Finishing his words, the fat man stood up and tried to escape.
Gu Yunjue had already figured out that the man was abnormal. He absolutely would not let the guy run away so easily. In a flash, a long black rope appeared in his hand. As Gu Yunjue moved his hand, the rope automatically locked the man. Since the man didn’t want to go with them, he would take the fat guy away in his own way.
“Why are you so unreasonable? You can’t enter Snow City in the end even if I lead you there!”
“Why?” asked Mu Chen coldly.
“Because you’re ugly. It’s obvious that you are pretty ugly, otherwise you won’t cover your face. The local people of Snow City are open-minded and only beautiful people will be welcome. I...”
Before he could finish his words, Mu Chen suddenly stuck a Silence Talisman to the man and the world got silent instantly. Considering for a while, he stuck another talisman to the man to let him be invisible.
Gu Yunjue stretched out a finger, raised Mu Chen’s hat and stared at him; a bright smile curved his lips. “Master, you are the best and the most beautiful in my heart. Those who can’t see your beauty must be blind.”
Mu Chen turned his head aside and his ears hidden in the hat had already been pink. Mu Chen got angry and picked off the hand in front of him. His evil apprentice was so glib-tongued and it seemed that he should gave Gu some lessons one day!
Gu Yunjue quickly seized his hand, held it in his own hands and rubbed it. “Are you cold?” asked Gu Yunjue with great concern.
Mu Chen shook his head. His spirit power was of fire attribute, so how could he be cold? Furthermore, he was protected by the ancient Nine Yang Dark Fire. Seeing that his apprentice cared about him so much, Mu Chen recalled the idea again that he should take the initiate. In this case, he put out his hand and stroked Gu Yunjue’s face saying coldly, “If you feel cold...” He had meant to say that Gu Yunjue could hide in his arms if feeling cold. However, as he saw Gu Yunjue’s tall figure, Mu Chen finally said, “…You can put on more clothes.”
Gu Yunjue stifled his laugh answering, “Okay, I will take your advice.”
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, questioning discontentedly, “Is it so funny?”
Gu Yunjue instantly hardened his face answering, “Not at all!”
Mu Chen’s face got cold too. “Isn’t it funny?”
Gu got a bit confused about Mu Chen’s intention, so he asked vaguely, “It, it is a bit funny?”
Mu Chen snorted and flew away first. How could this bad apprentice feel his concern funny? What a stupid person Gu Yunjue was!
Gu Yunjue touched his chin with grievance as if he had been treated unjustly.
Holding the Locking-immortal Rope with one hand, Gu Yunjue hastened to chase after Mu Chen, held his waist and pestered him. They kept entangling with each other all the way and finally arrived at Snow City.
At the entrance of Snow City, Mu Chen was surprised to find the jade identification card was not obtained by dint of spirits stones but one’s face.
It was until they entered Snow City that Mu Chen found it was actually an ice city. The buildings in Snow City were the same in shape with those in other cities. Well-designed attics and pavilions stood in great numbers. Marks of carving could be seen on every building and people could easily figure out that these buildings were built with great care. Under the bright sunshine, they looked more limpid and gorgeous.
The street was made of a whole piece of smooth ice too, which looked more like a huge mirror. Sometimes great shadows could be seen under the thick ice. It seemed that there were monsters beneath the water, which made Mu Chen who came to the city for the first time feel so surprised. He couldn’t help fixing his eyes on the unique creatures for a while.
“I can catch several of them for you to have a research if you like,” said Gu Yunjue faithfully.
“You must come from some other places,” an old man smoothed his beard, a smile appearing on his face, “The ice is blessed by the god, and it won’t melt in ten thousand years. No matter how powerful a man is, he will find it pretty hard to break the freezing ice. If someone happens to break it, it will recover itself soon.”
