When the Venerate saw Chu Mu waking up, a shallow smile floated onto her face. She didn’t smile often and was unwilling to reveal her smile to anyone.
Chu Mu felt strange, especially when someone who didn’t seem to be very fond of smiling suddenly showed him a smiling face. It had to be said that his naturally beautiful mother was captivating when she smiled, but Chu Mu was still not used to it.
Chu Mu wasn’t foolish. The thousand-year-old cold ice that melted inexplicably must have recognized him.
“Young Master, sure enough, you have boundless blessing and good fortune in life. For ordinary people, they may remain unconscious from the terrible symptoms, but you can overcome it in just a month, which is really extraordinary. I, Illusion Elder, have lived for many years and have rarely seen Soul Pet Masters with such good constitution like you. It’s a once in a hundred, no, once in a thousand years occurrence. Your Highness the Venerate, you have such a….”
Before Chu Mu could figure out what was going on, a suddenly deceitful old voice in his ear spoke a string of inexplicable words. Chu Mu looked back in amazement and found a creature with a sinister raccoon-like head and a small, skinny, and short body like an old man waving arms before him, saying something…
“Get out,” the Venerate’s cold ice immediately solidified on her face, and she glared fiercely at the creature whispering nonsense in Chu Mu’s ear. With one finger, she flicked it away.
The short raccoon-like creature was caught off guard and was immediately flung from the bed’s edge and slammed into the wooden wall. Its huge head and small body were stuck to the wall, its body soft as if boneless.
Chu Mu saw this special creature for the first time, not only able to speak, but also show a flattering raccoon-like face. It had to be said that this was a peculiarity of the soul pet world.
“Mu’er, what happened to your body? Why does your soul feel like it’s burning?” The Venerate, not knowing how to talk to her long-lost son, turned the topic around.
Chu Mu looked at her, but his gaze avoided her, and he said lightly, “I’ve made a soul contract with the White Nightmare Demon.”
“Your Highness the Venerate, the Young Master not only signed a soul contract with the White Nightmare Demon, but he came close to having his soul devoured by the White Nightmare Demon. This phenomenon was once observed on a high-ranking figure in the Nightmare Demon Palace. His soul was devoured by the exceptionally talented White Nightmare Demon, turning into a terrifying half-demon, and eventually his soul and consciousness were completely consumed,” Illusion Elder explained, jumping back in like it was no big deal and waving his short arms, saliva flying as he spoke.
“I’m asking for a solution, not for your pointless talk.” The Venerate coldly spoke to this clown-like figure full of nonsense.
“There’s only a temporary solution here, not a permanent one. To completely eradicate it and leave no consequences, we must find the Heavenly Earth
Immortal Ice. Heavenly Earth Immortal Ice can not only dispel the residual Soul Demon Flames on him, but it can also strengthen his body a bit, so it won’t be like it is now…” The Illusion Elder realized that his words seemed to clash with his previous statement about a “good constitution,” so he immediately stopped talking.
Chu Mu furrowed his brow, not knowing what they were talking about. Indeed, he had devoured the soul of the White Nightmare Demon, but what impact would this have on his own soul after the White Nightmare Demon’s soul separated from him and returned to the Third Soul Pet Space as his soul pet?
Seeing Chu Mu’s confusion, the Venerate immediately sat down at the bedside and explained, “Your soul’s temperature is continually at a burning state, which will gradually burn away your consciousness and memory, turning you into a Flame Demon that knows nothing. Fortunately, your soul has a good resistance to demon flames, so there’s no immediate danger, but if this goes on for a long time, there will definitely be problems. Your mother has already used some ice-attribute spirit items to suppress the burning of your soul, but it’s not a permanent solution…”
Indeed, Chu Mu felt his body constantly burning unconsciously. The burning sensation was incredibly long, as if he would never wake up and be eternally tormented by the demonic flames.
Hearing his mother’s explanation, Chu Mu couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. It seemed that the soul of the White Nightmare Demon wasn’t so easy to devour, and the half-demon state clearly had terrifying consequences. If not eradicated, one day his consciousness and memory would be destroyed by the high-temperature demon flames of the half-demon state, turning him into a madman who could control demon flames.
“Mu’er, what’s the matter with you?” The Venerate leaned closer to Chu Mu and asked softly.
Chu Mu felt her gaze and revealed a bitter smile on his face. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I used my Charming Pet skill to devour the soul of the White Nightmare Demon.”
Chu Mu also realized that his body should have a certain amount of illness now, and it was necessary to deal with it in time.
“Swallowing the soul of the White Nightmare Demon?” Madame was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t until Chu Mu nodded in confirmation that she suddenly realized why Chu Mu’s soul was so hot!
The White Nightmare Demon is an evil soul pet. The scariest thing about this evil soul pet is that they can directly devour and burn human souls. In the soul pet field, almost everyone knows that Nightmare Demons are one of the most evil soul pets. Aside from the Nightmare Demon Palace’s cruel cultivation methods, others dare not easily sign a soul pact with the Nightmare Demon.
What Madame couldn’t figure out was how Chu Mu, who had lost one spirit, would join the Nightmare Demon Palace and sign a soul pact with the terrifying White Nightmare Demon.
Seeing Madame show such a surprised look, the raccoon-faced Illusion Elder by her side seemed to suddenly think of something. He immediately jumped in front of her and said, “Your Highness the Venerate, you are often in the Soul Hall, so you are not aware of some things in our Western Region. As far as I Imow, the Young Master was once snatched away by Xia Guanghan to be used as a demon disciple for feeding the White Nightmare Demon. Later, he was thrown into Prison Island, where he survived for three years among the three thousand prisoners of the Nightmare Demon Palace and became the only surviving Prison Island King…”
Indeed, Madame was not very familiar with the affairs of the West Region.
Upon hearing what the Illusion Elder said, her face instantly changed, and she stared closely at Chu Mu, asking him, “Mu’er, have you really been suppressed by Xia Guanghan in the Nightmare Demon Palace all these years?”
Chu Mu did not nod, feeling that this woman really hadn’t fulfilled her responsibility as a mother. Talking more with her would be meaningless. Instead, Chu Mu now wanted to see Chu Tiancheng even more.
“However, Your Highness the Venerate, the young master is indeed your and… oh, your son. If I’m not mistaken, the young master must have extraordinary talent, and our Young Master’s growth in strength is more than enough to feed a Monarch-level White Nightmare Demon, even reaching the Soul Lord level at a young age…”
“Stop talking nonsense and spit out everything you know!” Madame’s face was already visibly angry.
Two or three years ago, she went to Gangluo City on purpose, intending to bring Chu Mu to the Soul Hall, where she might find a solution to Chu Mu’s lost spirit. Even if she couldn’t, she would have Chu Mu sign a soul pact with the most potential soul pet. However, Chu Tiancheng thought Chu Mu was already dead and did not tell her the truth. It was only recently that she planned to take Chu Mu away and learned from Chu Tiancheng about Chu Mu’s disappearance four years ago.
Madame didn’t know the specifics of how Chu Mu disappeared and was determined to be dead from Chu Tiancheng. Not wanting to talk much with
Chu Tiancheng, she rushed directly to the Western Region, intending to kill Xia Guanghan to vent her anger. What rekindled her hope from the brink of despair was that Chu Mu was not dead and was found during the pursuit of Xia Guanghan.
After quieting down over the years, she thought it was time to take Chu Mu from Chu Tiancheng and take care of him, but she received the shocking news that Chu Mu had been dead for four years.
Now, unexpectedly finding Chu Mu again, the ice-cold heart of the Madame that had lasted for a thousand years suddenly melted as well. The feelings of blood being thicker than water were not so easily estranged or became cold just because they rarely spent time together—especially knowing that Chu Mu was now in a very dangerous physical condition.
The ups and downs of her emotions made Madame aware of the importance Chu Mu held in her heart. So this time, Chu Mu was injured, and she had to find a way to help Chu Mu resolve the hidden danger of his soul burning, no matter what.
Of course, Madame also realized that she was not very approachable as a woman. Chu Tiancheng had told her before not to use that kind of expression to treat her child. So this time when Chu Mu woke up, even if she didn’t like to smile, she would try to show Chu Mu her gentle side.
“Your Highness the Venerate, I only heard what others were saying. I only know that recently, the young master’s fame has skyrocketed in the Western Region, becoming the fastest-rising top young warrior in these territories. You also know that I, Illusion Elder, like to snoop around for news, so I learned more or less from other people. But the specifics still need to be told by the young master himself. However, that Xia Guanghan is really a piece of shit.
Doesn’t he know that the young master is the son of Her Highness the Venerate? If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll really think of himself as someone important. Your Highness the Venerate, do you think I, Illusion Elder, am right?” Illusion Elder said again in one breath.
