Chapter 771 - 342-2
"Thank you, but I am injured, and to avoid any misunderstanding, I won’t keep the lady today,"
Xu Guang said.
Chu Monarch’s face fell, and her voice turned cold.
"Little brother, you wouldn’t want me to lead these lost souls onto you, right? When the people of the Soul Ridge hunt you down, it’ll be troublesome."
Xu Guang’s eyes turned slightly cold, "Is Miss Chu threatening me?"
Chu Monarch ignored the threat in Xu Guang’s tone, just smiled while looking at him.
"See, I helped you so much, and yet when you met me before, you didn’t even think of helping me. You’re such a bad man."
Xu Guang frowned, a shiver running through his heart. The last time he saw Chu Monarch, she was fighting the soul image of a Refining Pattern Master, and he didn’t expect that she had already noticed his presence back then.
This was the second time he had been discovered after comprehending the Formless Magic Garment in the Fire Domain.
The first time was by Chen Yue, but that was due to Chen Yue discovering the traces of his fight with Gui Luo.
But Chu Monarch...
She discovered him during a battle, her perception...
"Sorry, but my strength is too low to be of any help to you, miss,"
Xu Guang paused, and then seriously said.
"I will repay today’s favor when I have enough strength. But how did the lady appear here? Could it be that you’ve been following me all the way?"
"Just passing by." Chu Monarch tilted her head innocently, "I sensed some excitement here, so I came to take a look. Didn’t expect to see you so impressive, even defeating Chen Yue." She stepped closer, looking at Xu Guang with interest, "But you don’t seem to be in good shape. Need an elder sister to protect you?"
Xu Guang didn’t respond, seeing that Chu Monarch didn’t seem to have any intentions against him. He silently adjusted his breath in her presence, while signaling General Wei to put away General Teng and stay on guard.
He was testing.
Chu Monarch didn’t mind, picking up the Soul Bell from the ground and toying with it, she pouted: "The stuff from Soul Ridge, too filled with Yin Qi, not fun."
Saying so, she casually tossed it toward where Xu Guang was.
Xu Guang caught the Soul Bell, feeling its icy touch and faint soul wailing. He glanced at Chu Monarch, put it away, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your help, Miss Chu. Do you know where Miss Ling is now?"
"Ling Xiao, that crazy woman?" Chu Monarch’s eyes twinkled, "She went to find the real good stuff left by that old Han Cuo. But..."
She suddenly leaned close to Xu Guang, lowered her voice, adding a touch of mystery: "Little brother, don’t you want to know, what color underwear that crazy Ling Xiao likes to wear?"
Xu Guang: ...
Compared to Ling Xiao, he felt Chu Monarch was more like the crazy woman.
"I don’t want to know."
"No, you definitely want to know."
Xu Guang: ...
"I really don’t want to know."
"Recently, she was quite fond of blue, you know."
Xu Guang: ...
"Now that you know her secret, you should listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll tell her you know her secret, and she definitely won’t let you go."
Chu Monarch spoke in an innocent tone, saying things that left Xu Guang speechless.
He had no words to refute.
Fortunately, for now, Chu Monarch didn’t seem to have any malice, so Xu Guang just ignored her and began regulating his breath.
Earlier, he forcibly fused the Five Emperors Physique with the Demonic Thought Power using the Extreme Soul Power, producing terrifying effects, but he also paid a great price. The Extreme Soul Power was greatly compressed, and he was considerably affected by the Demonic Thought Power.
After assessing his condition, Xu Guang began to refine Chen Yue’s divine soul.
Strands and strands of memories merged.
He suddenly discovered a shocking secret!
Chen Yue, actually knew the location of the Refining Pattern Master’s legacy!
The other wasn’t lying before, indeed, in the depths of this valley, a Saint had passed on, leaving behind a Holy Artifact.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
However, he wasn’t in a good state to retrieve the treasure now, especially with the unpredictable Chu Monarch by his side.
He could only temporarily suppress the joy in his heart.
"I just helped you, but you still don’t like me?"
