Chapter 80: I promise not to be as indulgent as I was last time (1/2)

”Fakery?” Gu Yunjue's face instantly froze, and he glared at Bai Xiaoyue with freezing eyes.
”No! It is real.” Bai Xiaoyue was so scared that he rolled and retreated to the edge of the statue’s palm, jittering, ”It’s genuine Ice Soul Pearl. How dare I deceive God?”
Gu Yunjue sneered, ”God?” Gu had lost his patience. ‘The fatty is so dishonest and slippery. I’d rather deprive his divine soul and search for the answer. After all, a dead man does not lie.’
Seeing Gu Yune wielded his power and reached out for Bai Xiaoyue’s head, Mu Chen hurried to grab Gu’s wrist and said in a gentle voice, “Now that you are injured, behave yourself and refrain from killing.”
As for cultivators, they had to go through thunder and lightning calamity, only through which could they ascend to deity. However, demon cultivators, because of too much killing, often faced much tougher challenges. As causes led to effects, one’s deeds were destined to have certain results. As for Gu Yunjue, he had claimed few lives in this life, and Mu Chen did not allow Gu to get red-handed.
As Gu Yunjue and Mu Chen were bonded by the couple contract, they could know each other's thoughts instantly. Gu perceived Mu Chen’s worries, and thus was soothed. He quenched his desire of killing immediately. Instead, Gu grabbed Mu Chen, kissed his hair and said in a deep voice, “Well noted.”
Mu Chen’s body was rigid and then relaxed soon. Mu held Gu Yunjue’s arm and rubbed healing lotion on it carefully. Even though Mu did not speak up, he wore a soft face. Seeing the frost on Gu Yunjue’s arm retreated and it looked well after double check, Mu Chen turned to Bai Xiaoyue and suddenly put on a cold face.
Forbidding his disciple to kill Bai Xiaoyue didn’t mean Mu Chen himself would not do it himself. What’s more, the fatty city master was quite dishonest, and teaching him a lesson was necessary.
Bai Xiaoyue, being in relief of escaping a disaster, suddenly caught the danger in Mu Chen’s stare. Bai wailed at once, “My Goddess…”
Hearing the crying, Mu Chen’s eyelids twitched. Mu Chen kicked Bai Xiaoyue directly off the palm of the statue without letting him finish his words. Seeing Bai fell down like a round balloon, in a flash Gu followed Bai’s dropping body and kicked him again onto the ice. While Bai lied on the ice, Mu Chen stuffed a pill into Bai’s mouth, held his chin and made sure Bai swallowed the pill.
”Cough...cough...” Bai Xiaoyue was so scared that his chubby face turned ghastly pale. He involuntarily poked his throat with his fingers, and tried to dig the pill out, while coughing violently.
Mu Chen squinted carefully at Bai with mild excitement, and said, ”It is said that when Master of Snow City cries, Snow Girl will show up, and her tears will turn into Ice Soul Pearls. I am desperate to find out if it is true. That’s why I want you to give it a try.”
Bai Xiaoyue was so distressed that he couldn’t talk, but wailed instead, whose tears dropped like falling beads and wetted the front of his clothes.
”No wonder you stayed up late in last couple of days. Were you studying the Crying Pill?” asked Gu Yunjue.
Mu Chen took out a pot of medicine, held it up and sneered. ”I have a lot more here to make him cry and shed his last drop of tears.”
Hearing Mu’s words, Bai Xiaoyue blubbered desperately.
Gu Yunjue was speechless, “Master took the rumor as s a nonsense earlier, but stealthily undertook experiment on his own. What a lovely master.”
The fatty was crying out of breath, when suddenly his body glowed with a white light. To everyone’s great surprise, a soul of a woman gradually appeared in front of Bai Xiaoyue.
Mu Chen was amazed, grabbed Gu Yunjue by the arm and couldn’t help rocking it. Eyes twinkling, Mu ejaculated, “Look! His cry truly can summon Snow Girl!”
Gu Yunjue observed the arm seized by Mu Chen. On an impulse, Gu couldn't help but hold Mu's face and kiss him. How could little Master be so lovely. Gu Yunjue should better hide him and save others’ yearning.
Being kissed by Gu Yunjue, Mu Chen cooled down, stared at Gu, and slapped him on the forehead. “Such a wicked disciple. How dare he kiss me now?!”
The girl bowed to Mu Chen and said politely, ”My younger brother is ignorant. Should you want to know something, please put it forward and I will tell you everything I know. Please let him go.”
Mu Chen was slightly disappointed. The female soul turned out to be the fatty’s sister, rather than the legendary Snow Girl. With a close look, Mu found resemblance between the two, but the sister was with magnified merits of their bloodline, as she, though not gorgeous, was fairly beautiful and graceful. What’s more, the sister came with heroic spirit, which was not common among ladies. These merits undoubtedly gave Mu Chen a good feeling, so Mu reached out to the fatty brother, hit Bai Xiaoyue at several acu-points. Only by then did Bai stopped crying.
Bai Xiaoyue took a deep breath and turned promptly to embrace his sister, and burst into a rage of tears, ”Dear sister, finally, you are here!”
The lady helplessly touched the younger brother's head to console him, and explained, “I am Bai Xiaoyue, the owner of Snow City, and this is my younger brother, Bai Shengyu. Thirty years ago, my body was destroyed, but my divine soul survived. As we were in the same bloodline, I could live inside his body. From then on, my brother had been governing Snow City in my name. My apology for offending you.”
After the explanation, Mu Chen nodded his head, yet was still disappointed. “If the lady was the legendary Snow Girl and her tears can turn into Ice Soul Pearl, I might take her back. But unfortunately, she is but a common woman.”
Bai Xiaoyue looked at Mu Chen and asked carefully, ”May I know if My Saint is looking for Ice Soul Pearl?”
Mu Chen frowned, “SAINT?”
Bai Xiaoyue was surprised too, “Didn’t he know? He and the statue are so alike.”
Gu Yunjue suddenly interrupted and said, ”Since City Master Bai mentioned Ice Soul Pearl. I guess it does exist.”
Bai Xiaoyue confirmed with a nod and said, ”Yes. But in fact, the Ice Soul Pearl is not an ice pearl. The one my brother brought with him was not real but was meant to make you leave. Actually Ice Soul Pearl is extremely precious. Ice Soul Pearl is the fruit of the Spirit Lifeline of Snow Land, which has been supporting life here and keeping Snow City from melting for thousands of years. If My Lord need the Ice Soul Pearl, you may find it deep in the Spirit Lifeline. You may get it if you are lucky.”
