Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-One Mutation

Chapter 1137: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-One: Mutation Chapter 1137: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-One: Mutation Loving peace and prospering through trade was once the main theme of the Yun Clan, but after that devastating disaster, the Hawk Faction within the Clan rose to prominence.

No longer excited about coexisting in peace, they became extremely utilitarian, and thanks to the Hawk Faction’s swift and decisive actions, over the last couple of decades, the remaining members of the Yun Clan, which had dwindled to next to nothing, are rising rapidly. Today, their power is close to that of a mid-sized noble family.

By leveraging the power of the Ancient Blood Tower, they have even collected dozens of sects’ diverse secret techniques and otherworldly mystical abilities.

This has greatly encouraged the young members of the Hawk Faction of the Yun Clan, who feel they have finally found the right path.

Yet within the Clan, there are still many like Xiu’er, who cling to the old beliefs, which causes Yun Quan’s heartache and, at the same time, rage at their lack of spirit.

Yun Quan, carrying his anger, left directly through the Spirit World Passage. Soon after, the door sealed by the Illusionary Dream Space was opened, and a refined middle-aged scholar leaped out to see the young lady Xiu’er crouched in a corner of the courtyard.

Chen Menglu stepped forward and stood in front of Sister Xiu’er, then took out a fist-sized colored glaze bead from his sleeve and passed it to her.

Sister Xiu’er received the bead respectfully and saw a small spirit figure sitting inside the transparent colored glaze bead, looking very much like Chen Menglu. She looked up in confusion, only to hear Chen Menglu explain, “If you encounter any danger in the future, crush the colored glaze. This spirit contains the true essence of the four spirits, and it’s powerful enough to repel an ordinary warrior from the Fierce Realm.”

Having witnessed Master Chen’s formidable strength, Sister Xiu’er understood that this was an item to protect her life, and she felt relieved.

This must be his way of repaying her for saving Gou Chen. It’s for the best. Now that the Devil Lord has left with Master Chen, her uncle will not be consumed with such desires. This is good for everyone.

Stowing the colored glaze bead into her sleeve, Sister Xiu’er breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to look up to thank Master Chen, she saw him smiling and saying, “I entrust that old friend of mine to you, young lady.”

Her words of gratitude caught in her throat as the person before her became blurry and disappeared without a trace.

“What kind of situation is this!”

With a sigh, Xiu’er turned and walked into the house, where Tang Luo was neatly sitting on the bed, seemingly waiting for her to come in.

Taking the colored glaze bead from her sleeve, she threw it onto the bed and snapped, “Why didn’t you leave with Master Chen? Why are you hanging around here? Are you trying to swindle me!?”

“???” Tang Luo, who caught the colored glaze bead, was utterly puzzled: “Why should I leave? Didn’t we agree that you were going to teach me how to run a business and make money? Are you going back on your word?”

“Yes, I’m going back on my word! You’re too stupid; I can’t teach you. Hurry up and go, hurry up!”

“Hey!” Tang Luo tossed the colored glaze bead back onto the bed, propped himself up by the bed frame, and retorted with dissatisfaction, “I’m stupid? I can bring peace to the land and defend the city with martial prowess; you say I’m stupid? And you want me to leave? If I were to go, how would you explain it to your uncle!?”

“What did you say!?” Sister Xiu’er, suddenly feeling exposed, appeared somewhat flustered but still forcibly said, “I’m kicking you out because you’re stupid. It has nothing to do with my uncle.”

“Stop pretending!” Tang Luo scoffed, lifting his left hand wrapped in thick bandages and poking his chest as he said, “Me, the Devil Lord Gou Chen, with the current situation of the Yun Clan, not taking such a great opportunity to make connections, instead wanting to drive me away? I don’t believe it! Even if you don’t get it, your uncle would, wouldn’t he? I don’t believe he didn’t give you instructions before leaving. Maybe he even asked you to charm me with your wiles and to offer yourself to me!”

“Tsk, shameless!” Sister Xiu’er spat at Tang Luo to cover her embarrassment and said with a fierce look, “Since you already know, then why don’t you leave with Master Chen? Are you waiting to be taken advantage of!?”

“I haven’t even repaid you for saving my life.” Tang Luo waved his hand, speaking indifferently, “Besides, your charm techniques have no effect on me, so what is there to worry about!”

“Really ineffective?” Sister Xiu’er snorted coldly, “Perhaps you’ve been affected by the spell without realizing it. Otherwise, why would the great Devil Lord Gou Chen insist on staying here shamelessly, refusing to leave!”

“You’re laying it on a bit thick with that reverse psychology.” Tang Luo was unfazed, extending his hand that was wrapped like a pillar and waved it, “I’m hungry, I need to eat!”

“You… Humph!”

With a huff, Sister Xiu’er turned and left the room, closing the door behind her, while Tang Luo, lying on the bed with a sly smile, suddenly became expressionless.

During the battle at the passage, he had stuffed the Asura Divine Heart into the Void Main Stomach, and it was still uncertain how much this would affect him, so he must test it as soon as possible.

Because the Void Main Stomach is different from the other stomachs–it is specifically for digesting food and is the manifestation of the Divine Storage of Earth, where all things can be converted.

But even divine powers have their limits, like the Asura Divine Heart, which he couldn’t digest. Not only could he not digest it, but the heart had settled in the Void Main Stomach and was emitting an endless stream of Evil Qi, filling up the main stomach space.

Since the day Sister Xiu’er had left, Tang Luo hadn’t touched a drop of water, so he had no idea how this current situation would affect his body, which is why he desperately needed some food to verify this.

Although Sister Xiu’er was nagging about driving Tang Luo away, it was also because she didn’t want him to be used by Uncle Yun Quan. Considering that he hadn’t had anything to drink for several days, her heart softened instantly, and she turned to prepare a serving of fresh porridge and dishes and brought them into the room.

And Tang Luo was not polite. In the spirit of experimentation, he slurped down the entire table of food into his stomach, then entered into introspection to observe the impact on himself after the Asura Divine Heart had settled in the Void Main Stomach.

After a moment, he came out of introspection with a face full of dismay and met Sister Xiu’er’s worried eyes. But just as their eyes met, Sister Xiu’er immediately became calm again, moving her gaze away as though she had only accidentally made eye contact.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Luo would have certainly teased her a bit, but after having just witnessed the changes in the Void Main Stomach, he was in no mood for that, only letting out a heavy sigh.

“What’s wrong?” Hearing the sigh, Sister Xiu’er casually asked, pretending it was unintentional, “Didn’t the food suit your taste?”

“The flavor was fine, but the dishes were a bit bland.”

“Is that what you’re sighing about? Then I’ll make a couple of stronger dishes!”

“No need.” Tang Luo stopped Sister Xiu’er as she stood up, speaking disheartenedly, “For quite a while, I won’t need to eat.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t I stuff the Asura Divine Heart into the Void Stomach earlier? Now with Evil Qi filling the stomach space, the moment food enters, it’s corroded into gas. Eating is futile.”

“What should we do?” Sister Xiu’er couldn’t help expressing her concern, “If you don’t eat, what about your body?”

“I will find a way to remove the Asura Divine Heart as soon as possible, I should be able to hold on.” Tang Luo said earnestly, “But there’s another matter I need your help with. I’ve promised Master Chen that I’d help him select some disciples. Could you trouble yourself to visit the agency and see how many young ones Chaochang has for sale and inquire about the prices?”
