Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1103 - Chapter 1103 Chapter 968 Someday You Must Learn to Stand on

Chapter 1103: Chapter 968: Someday, You Must Learn to Stand on Your Own Chapter 1103: Chapter 968: Someday, You Must Learn to Stand on Your Own The strength of the Fox King of Seven Sins was stronger than even Mu Qingyi in her complete victorious state. Mu Qingyi, with her ability to control five elements, wasn’t the match of the Fox while leading the battle with the Crowned Phoenix King and being surrounded by other Invincible Emperors. This revealed just how terrifying the strength of this Fox of Absolving Sin, the guardian of the Demonic Realm, truly was.

Therefore, entering the Demonic Realm, Chu Mu and others would certainly not choose to enter from a location guarded by the Fox King of Seven Sins; instead, they opted for another ancient path with special prohibitions to sneak in.

This ancient path was also extremely dangerous, and Mu Qingyi didn’t dare to guarantee that they could pass through it safely, so she was in favor of forming a team to go there. This team must include the presence of soul pets of various attributes; otherwise, once a group of guardians with opposing attributes appeared, it would be very difficult for them to cope.

Among the six of them, Pang Yue was a Support Soul Pet Master. Although she wasn’t as professional as Ye Qingzi, she should be able to perform all the basic battle support functions. She was one of the strongest among the younger generation of support soul pet masters. Since Ye Qingzi couldn’t go, it was natural for her to take on the role of support soul pet master.

Teng Lang relied on the Peak Emperor Grade Ice Mountain Lion, and Mu Qingyi said that Ice Element soul pets were indispensable in that ancient path. And instead of letting some Elders go, it was better to include Teng Lang with greater potential in the team; at least for him, it was a good opportunity to gain experience, and if he got hold of some fortune, it would be greatly beneficial for him.

Crown Prince Chao Lengcuan was rather mysterious, and had not appeared yet. However, from what Chu Mu learned from Tu Zun Ke Yin, this Crown Prince had already successfully acquired the Inheritance of Zuo Zun and was definitely capable of standing on his own. If he went with them, there would be a great assurance of safety, and since Chao Lengcuan was a soul pet master who wholeheartedly sought the path of cultivation, venturing into the unknown demonic realm would likely be a rare opportunity for self-cultivation.

Shen Mo was a man with a very low profile and excelled in hiding his strength; no one among the Three Great Palaces was his match in this art. According to Chu Mu’s estimation, this guy’s strength definitely did not lose to the characters holding the Soul Alliance’s Top Position.

Among the six, perhaps only Pang Yue and Teng Lang would be weaker. Pang Yue was a Support Soul Pet Master, so being weaker didn’t matter much. As for Teng Lang, it was estimated that he would have to rely on an Ice Mountain Lion to hold his ground. Fortunately, this time the ancient path required more of flexible actions, where great strength might be also limited.

On the evening before their departure, the six gathered in Chu Mu’s courtyard, where Mu Qingyi wanted to discuss some detailed issues with everyone.

Teng Lang indicated that Chao Lengcuan would appear tonight, so when the five of them were already seated in the pavilion, they all waited with great interest for the appearance of the elusive Crown Prince of Soul Hall.

Chu Mu had heard of the Crown Prince of Soul Hall back in World City–a truly legendary figure whom Chu Mu was indeed eager to befriend.

However, after a lengthy wait, Chao Lengcuan still had not shown up. Instead, a very shy man appeared, seemingly one of the disciples from Soul Hall who greatly admired Chu Mu and had come to see him in particular.

“Sorry, we have matters to discuss tonight, you should head back first,” Chu Mu instinctively waved his hand, telling the somewhat awkward admirer to leave.

Such people came to see him almost every day; Chu Mu did not have the time to provide signatures or encouragement to all of them.

“Er… Brother Chu, he is the Crown Prince…” It was then that Teng Lang awkwardly whispered in Chu Mu’s ear.

This statement made everyone there, including Mu Qingyi, widen their eyes in disbelief, looking at the shy man in front of them!!

Out of the five people present, only Teng Lang had really seen the Crown Prince. Until now, everyone had heard that the Crown Prince was a handsome and spirited man with a dignified presence. Who would have imagined that this guy looked just like a fledgling scholar, lacking any trace of the confidence or composure of a high-ranking person, not to mention the overbearing aura that was rumored to surround the young soul of the Three Great Palaces!

“Everyone, my apologies, I’m sorry. With the travels tomorrow, my mother had endless concerns after dinner… So I’m late…” This Crown Prince, who should have been carefree, was actually a bit embarrassed providing such a reason.

“Teng Lang, are you sure this undeveloped kid is the Crown Prince?” Shen Mo asked with a slanted glance, whispering.

“That… everyone who sees the Crown Prince reacts just like you guys. Actually, this guy isn’t as impressive as the rumors suggest, not lightning in his eyes or a storm in his presence, but rather just a fanatic who has been immersed in cultivation since young. He rarely interacts with others, especially females…” Teng Lang spoke telepathically.

“This must be Lady Tianji. I’ve long admired you.” Chao Lengcuan, looking slightly downward, greeted Mu Qingyi with some polite words.

Next to him, Shen Mo looked even more odd, finding it strange that this mythical Crown Prince blushed at the sight of Mu Qingyi and Pang Yue, two great beauties!!!!

My heavens, the thought that this youthful figure in front of him was that mysterious and powerful youth who had ranked above him for so many years made Shen Mo feel an urge to bash his head in!

Couldn’t he have a bit more of the demeanor fitting of a super strong one and the charisma befitting the Crown Prince who attracts countless followers?

“Okay, I’ll be the one to speak. I thought that when Chu Fangchen met Chao Lengcuan, there would surely be sparks flying, and they’d have to compete as to who is the number one person for Soul Hall. But I really thought too much,” Shen Mo was clearly struck, cutting off the shy scholar who was politely greeting everyone.

Caught off guard, the scholar hurriedly said modestly, “Chu Fangchen genuinely defeated Xiong Mo Moling. I, Chao Lengcuan, have no achievements to speak of; it’s all just empty talk. I should be the one to step down and yield the position…”

Chu Mu watched the excessively polite person in front of him with a wry smile, at a loss for words for a moment. From the Crown Prince’s eyes, it was evident that this guy wasn’t pretending to be polite, but was genuinely very “courteous.”

Shen Mo felt his chest getting stuffy, indicating he didn’t want to speak anymore. The Nightmare Demon Palace Crown Prince had his heart completely broken today.

“Crown Prince Chao, I’ve long admired your name. Having met you today, I never expected you to be so shy and adorable…” Pang Yue laughed softly, finding the mysterious Crown Prince of Soul Hall to be quite interesting.

“Hehe, I guess some things never change. The elders really don’t like me attending public events, afraid I’ll ruin the image they’ve built for me,” Chao Lengchuan said with an awkward smile, scratching his head and actually unable to meet Pang Yue’s seductive eyes.

Everyone laughed after hearing this, it seemed that the Crown Prince’s mysterious reputation was indeed not unfounded…

Chu Mu now understood why Teng Lang had always told them to be mentally prepared. Speaking of which, Chao Lengchuan’s personality was truly astonishing, not at all what one would expect from an expert.

In fact, if a person immersed themselves in cultivation from a young age, lived a life isolated from the world, and harbored a fanaticism and utter obsession with cultivation, it was quite normal to display such behavior.

Presumably, after the Crown Prince’s strength became outstanding, the Soul Hall realized with a headache that the prince was too inexperienced socially. No wonder Tu Zun Ke Yin specifically told Chu Mu that day to take special care of the Crown Prince. Initially, Chu Mu thought it meant they should look after each other, but now it appeared that Tu Zun Ke Yin’s words had a different surface meaning.

“I myself have never truly ventured into the demonic realm, so you all had better bring everything you can think of for emergencies. As for its level of danger, there’s no need for me to elaborate further. Since it’s guarded by the Fox Lei Jun, the Absolver of the Dominator level, that place is a real forbidden zone for humans,” Mu Qingyi said earnestly to everyone.

Mu Qingyi could see that the Three Great Palaces intended for her to lead these younger members, to grant them more opportunities. Since the Three Great Palaces had given her a great favor, Mu Qingyi naturally wouldn’t decline, besides, she also felt that it would indeed be safer for the six of them to venture into the demonic realm together.

After Mu Qingyi mentioned some details and others provided additional information, everyone dispersed to prepare for tomorrow’s early departure to the demonic realm.

…

After returning to his room, Chu Mu began meditating, as usual.

Having recently stepped into the realm of Eight Thoughts, his Soul Sense was still somewhat unstable and in need of consolidation.

It was around midnight when Chu Mu, who was meditating, suddenly felt the window being pushed open.

Through his perception, Chu Mu noticed a petite dark shadow crawl in through the window, carefully shutting the door, and then quickly burrowing into Chu Mu’s bed, curling up next to him.

Chu Mu opened his eyes to see the girl who had snuggled up to him like a frightened kitten…

“Had another nightmare?” Chu Mu still sat there, looking at Ning Man’er who had wrapped herself up tightly, and asked softly.

“No,” the little maid asserted defiantly.

“No? Then why aren’t you sleeping in your own room?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s cold sleeping alone,” Ning Man’er said from within the covers.

Chu Mu smiled wryly, “You need to overcome this kind of mindset. I’ll be leaving tomorrow, and it might be for a very long time.”

“Then no one will take care of me,” Ning Man’er’s voice grew softer.

Chu Mu knew the little maid was still being stubborn.

“You have to understand, I can’t always be by your side. In the future, you might find yourself in a strange place, without me, without your Sister Ye…” Chu Mu said slowly.

As he spoke, Chu Mu heard sobbing from beneath the blanket and her murmured response, “Mean brother, don’t say anymore…”

Chu Mu sighed, hearing her crying, he didn’t dare to continue, and could only say, “One day, you’ll have to learn to be independent.”

After what seemed like a long time, Ning Man’er finally showed her tear-stained little face and said softly, “Brother, I will learn to be independent.”

Chu Mu smiled faintly and wiped her face with his sleeve.

Chu Mu didn’t know the hardships the little maid had faced in the dark side of the Revival World, but he could feel that her fragile shoulders bore a weight far too heavy for her age, a burden she was unable to shoulder…
