Chapter 84: I’m your elder brother! (1/2)
Translator: Claire.KK
Gu Yunjue had fought fiercely with Feng Jiuli, and their intense fire spirit power had caused several hilltops to melt outside Snowy City. Mu Chen concerned that their battle would lead to calamity, as snow had accumulated for tens of thousands of years here, which could result in avalanche or snow slide under the impact of Gu’s and Feng’s spirit power fluctuations. Should these disasters happen, Snow City would be buried. However, to Mu Chen’s great surprise, the two fighters had not only melted mountain tops, but also vaporized the snow, which posed no danger.
Gu Yunjue and Feng Jiuli had engaged in fierce fight, which couldn’t be intervened by anyone. Mu Chen stood in the distance silently, and had no intention to help Gu Yunjue. As a matter of fact, though Feng looked evil-minded and vicious, he was a true gentlemen, which could be seen obviously in his attacking.
Hence, Mu Chen cast away his prejudice against Feng Jiuli. Feng and Gu Yunjue both had practiced abnormal cultivation, yet they all intentionally avoided affecting Snow City’s people. Like Gu Yunjue, Feng Jiuli wasn’t a bad man. Mu Chen didn’t care if a cultivator was a demon or a devil, of which the difference was but doctrine of practicing cultivation. Mu Chen would consider a person good as long as he didn’t do bad things for his own benefits
Suddenly, fire exploded in front of Mu Chen, and he immediately strengthened boundary setting and added another layer of protection to block the two strings of crimson flames caused by the two fighters. There was a melodious phoenix crow from the flames; and an enormous figure flew out, stepped on blazes while against colorful clouds, shading the bright sun and dying the blue sky red.
Mu Chen twitched his mouth, “My stupid disciple went so far as to force out Feng’s to real body. He hasn’t loafed on the fight.”
When Feng Jiuli's real body showed up, Mu Chen felt something was agitated in Gu Yunjue’s spirit pet bag and it was Black Egg. Mu Chen took out Black Egg, only to find its eyes turned red and he was instantly irritated at the sight of a huge phoenix in front of him. Black Egg ejaculated, ”Fuck me! It truly is a phoenix!”
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows. Phoenix was known as the king of birds. A phoenix was born with majesty, which made birds bow their head and impacted beasts’ mind. However, Black Egg was not affected at all. On the contrary, it swore at the phoenix! Mu Chen wore a cold face, and grabbled Black Egg by the throat. Whatever Black Egg was, he should be punished for swearing.
Black Egg groaned an “Ouch”, held Mu Chen’s hands with its wings and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice, “Palace Master, please show mercy and spare my life. It’s not worthwhile to kill me after having raised me for so many years!”
Mu Chen twitched his mouth and loosened his hand, yet he didn’t let go of Black Egg’s throat.
Black Egg didn't mind being held by the neck, while his eyes were glued to Feng Jiuli. When it flapped his wings, its intent of fight suddenly surged.
Seeing Black Egg’s abnormality, Mu Chen threw it up into the air. And black flame instantly burned around its feathers, and its body gradually expanded. Black Egg, which had been taken as a fat black duck, now unexpectedly turned into a devil beast, Three-legged Golden Crow!
Phoenix and three-legged golden crow were originally enemies. A phoenix brought auspiciousness and represented justice. In contrast, a golden crow stood for evil, as it was born in the abyss of Devil Realm, and fed itself evil souls. When these two species met, there would definitely be a fight. As Black Egg had swallowed countless evil souls, and now entered its youth stage. Now it was right at the aggressive age. However, it had been suppressed by Gu Yunjue to release its nature. Now seeing its enemy, Black Egg was stimulated as fighting intent soared!
Finding out Black Egg’s true identity, Mu Chen sulked. “Bastard disciple, how dare he still keep secrets from me!”
In a while, Feng Jiuli and Gu Yunjue ended their fight with their last crash of spirit power. Feng Jiuli changed himself into a human again and said helplessly, ”I lost.”
Gu Yunjue sheathed his sword and smiled, ”The result would be hard to say, shouldn’t he have helped me at the beginning.”
”Winning or losing is quite clear at the moment, regardless of the causes.” Feng Jiuli snapped his fingers to Mu Chen and smiled, ”Snow City is yours. I will see you two again.”
Mu Chen nodded, yet didn’t speak a word. Though Mu wore a cool face, his attitude was much milder than before.
Feng Jiuli clicked his tongue and teased, “What a surprise! A fight could change your attitude. Interesting.”
Mu Chen gave Feng a cold look, then took out Golden Egg from Gu Yunjue’s spirit pet bag and smashed it at Black Egg, who, wearing black flames, were busy provoking Feng Jiu but received no response. ,Moreover, it was slammed into the snow and a snow pit was left on the ground. Seeing this, Mu Chen waved with his sleeve and flew away. “Bastard disciple, shouldn’t he follow up and explain everything the Golden Crow to me, I would have him kneel in front of my room forever.”
Gu Yunjue gloated and hurried to catch Mu Chen up, while Black Egg, stunned by Golden Egg, held in his mouth the small tail of Golden Egg and wriggled to keep path with Mu Chen too. After a few flutters, Black Egg heard a smack and found Golden Egg’s shell suddenly fall off its body and down towards snow-capped mountain. To save the trouble of searching the shell in the snow, Black Egg quickly flew over to catch the shell. At the moment, Black Egg carried the turtle shell on his back and snake-like Golden Egg in his mouth and busily fluttered its wings in chasing his masters.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuli curved his mouth into a meaningful smile. He said to himself, ”All creatures want to be close to Mu Chen, and he is being protected by Heaven...Well! Well. Whether it’s a blessing or a curse. It’s hard to tell.”
When it came to Feng Jiuli that his destiny once was set around Mu Chen, he twitched his lips and felt kind of rejoiced that Gu Yunjue came up and messed up all Heaven’s arrangements. To Feng, should he love someone, he would compete for him or her, rather than to be arranged by some Heaven.
Feng Jiuli originally intended to kill Mu Chen to fight against the arrangement, but now... In fact, it might not be impossible for him to take the challenge and woo the icy and beautiful Mu Chen. However, Mu obviously wasn’t interested in him. Forcing Mu to be with him wasn’t Feng’s option. Feng Jiuli rubbed his chin in hesitation and then made his mind. Lingering any longer here didn’t make any sense, and he’d rather find something interesting to do.
As soon as Feng had a decision, his red figure flashed and Feng left Snow Land.
Mu Chen looked back at Feng Jiuli. As he kept the promise, he left a good impression on Mu. However, Gu Yunjue came alongside in dissatisfaction, circled around Mu Chen’s waist with his arms, and said in grievance, “Why do Master look at the man again? Isn’t your disciple more charming?”
