Chapter 383 - Heart Demon
Hm?” Shou Nanren, who was currently lounging at a chair in the Palace of the Gods, suddenly jerked up as if something just jolted his body. “This feeling…” Shou Nanren muttered as his gaze swiveled towards the direction of the Immortal Continent.
Actually, his gaze was directed at the Central Divine Empire, at the place where its volcano was destroyed.
“Krrr…” Shou Nanren’s chair created a scraping sound as he stood up. His face seemed to be tense as he left his room.
“Hey, where are you going?” Shou Nanren felt a hand clasping on his shoulders. Shou Nanren turned his head around, and there he saw Merlin, with his right hand grasping Shou Nanren’s left shoulder.
Shou Nanren was the tallest out of all the envoys, so he easily towered over Merlin. Shou Nanren bent his head until his eyes were level with Merlin’s. “I am going to the Immortal Continent right now.” Shou Nanren said as his face looked more tense. “I have a very important thing to do there.”
“And what is that important thing huh?” Merlin said as he rubbed his beard. “If you want to leave, then you must explain this thing. If not, then you cannot leave.”
Shou Nanren rubbed his head as frustration appeared in his features. “It’s hard to explain ok….”
“Then you cannot leave.” Merlin replied stoically. “S**t!” Shou Nanren stomped his foot as he glared at Merlin angrily. “You want me to explain? Then fine!” Shou Nanren took a deep breath before letting out what was inside him.
“While I was sitting at my chair earlier, I suddenly felt a dreadful sensation inside me. This feeling…. It was something that makes me have chills, even right now!” This seemed to be true as Merlin saw Shou Nanren’s skin slightly sweaty and his palms slightly trembling.
“I do not know why I am feeling this, but I am sure something just appeared at the Immortal Continent that was a great threat to me”! Shou Nanren roared out as his face became flushed red.
While Shou Nanren was happy with getting Merlin’s help, Merlin was inwardly smirking as he realized that he succeeded on pressuring Shou Nanren on giving up some of his branches.
A branch of a Wisdom Treant was very valuable, as it had miraculous properties that will make someone like Merlin salivate. Merlin of course asked for a branch from Shou Nanren before, but he always refused.
It was only now when Shou Nanren’s mind was affected by his Heart Demon that he was pressured on giving Merlin some branches. “If it was before, this stingy bastard won’t even give me one branch! Hehehe…. Whatever that threat to Shou Nanren is, I must thank it later for allowing me to get not just 1, but 5 branches!”
Merlin and Shou Nanren then left the Palace of the Gods, with Merlin reminding his other companions that he and Shou Nanren has a ‘very important’ business to deal with. This statement of Merlin of course brought confusion on Jian Chen and the other Godly Divine Beasts, but after seeing the crazed expression on Shou Nanren’s face and the evil glint on Merlin’s eyes, they decided to just stay at the Palace of the Gods and let Merlin and Shou Nanren ‘play’ their game.
“Your base and hideout?” Wu Meng tilted her head as her gaze alternated between the golden bull on Wang Hao’s hands and the golden bull erected at the middle of the village. “This place does not seem to be….. that good of a hideout.” What Wu Meng said was right, as she could see that even though there was a golden dome covering the whole village, this golden dome would not be able to tank the strikes of Fifth Stage Practitioners and above.
“Hmph, so what? I am careful on going in this place, so I have no worries on going here.” Wang Hao said proudly as Jorm clambered on Wang Hao’s head. Jorm was drooling as his gaze was concentrated on the golden bull in Wang Hao’s hands. He stretched his chubby hands to that bull as his drooling began to intensify. “Mama, I want to eat!”
“Nah uh uh.” Wang Hao hastily hid the golden bull as he gave a reproaching look to Jorm. “Jorm, do not just eat anything that you like. That is bad! If you want to eat something good, wait a little. I will personally cook it for you!” “Ok….” The scary Jorm seemed to be polite as he listened on Wang Hao’s instructions.
Wu Meng just scratched her head upon hearing this, as she felt more and more confused by what was happening. After pacifying Jorm down, Wang Hao’s face turned grim as he pulled out another object from his storage. This object was the orb that trapped the silver-clad lady that tried to attack Wang Hao earlier.
Wang Hao shook the orb a little, as if he was trying to calm the trapped entity in the orb. This did not do anything, as the entity continued on banging the orb, with her eyes focused only on Wang Hao. “Tsk, seems like I have to research you more.” Wang Hao muttered as he walked forward. Wu Meng followed suit and seconds later, Wang Hao and Wu Meng entered the village, completely unaware that one crazed tree and an aged wizard was hot on their trails now.
Goddess Planet, after Tang Li helped Fang Yu on healing her injuries. After minutes of travelling, Fang Yu and Genie, who was dragged by her, arrived at Andromeda’s spaceship. As they arrived, Genie saw a grumpy-looking Andromeda glaring at Fang Yu. But aside from anger, Genie could also see expressions of worry and relief on her face.
“Hohoho, seems like someone’s extremely worried for me!” Fang Yu said smugly as she approached Andromeda with outstretched arms. “Come, I am fine now. You can hug me all you want!”
“Hmph, suit yourself!” Andromeda huffed angrily as she boarded her spaceship. Fang Yu just smiled at Andromeda’s actions as she and Genie also entered the spaceship. “So where will we go now?” Genie asked as she saw Andromeda fiddling the controls of the spaceship. “Will we go and meet Solomon now?”
“Something like that…” Fang Yu said as she woke up the sleepy Tang Li. “But for us to do that, we will not do it the normal way. We will do it, my way!” “Your way?” Genie asked skeptically. “What do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean by that? I mean it to be like this!” The spaceship that Genie was in suddenly let out a monstrous roar as it dived headfirst to the ground. “Don’t tell me….” Genie’s teeth chattered as she realized what Andromeda was doing. “That we are going straight through the ground now?”
“Well yes, we are doing that.” Fang Yu replied with relish. “Going through the layers of the Underground was already a pain, so let us just dig with our spaceship right through this planet until we reach the core!”
“What the hell!” That’s the only thing Genie could say before the ground swallowed the spaceship up, leaving Genie with no places to escape now. “Bon voyage~”
