Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1515 - Chapter 1515 Chapter 1375 The Price of Angering Chu Mu

Chapter 1515: Chapter 1375 The Price of Angering Chu Mu! Chapter 1515: Chapter 1375 The Price of Angering Chu Mu! The day before the last event was the famous Full Lantern Festival in Struggle City, a time when the usually stern Struggle City became somewhat friendlier.

The entire city was adorned with various colored lights, with countless special-shaped flame lamps floating on both sides of the street, forming a beautifully moving trail of stars in the Night!

On the streets, pedestrians were nearly shoulder to shoulder, with many people crowding in front of some shops, engaging in the ancient game of guessing lantern riddles.

Guessing lantern riddles mainly involved guessing the “Soul Pets” from brief descriptions, allowing passersby to guess the correct “Soul Pet,” with those who guessed correctly naturally receiving rewards from the shops. This game was particularly significant and entertaining for children who were diligently learning about various “Soul Pets.”

Of course, the festival was not complete without some exquisitely beautiful performances, including those from the Divine Sect where attractive, shapely women controlled their pure, holy “Soul Pets” to sing and dance in the sky above the Plaza, captivating countless young men like in a trance.

“Pang Yue Sister, this place is really fun,” Ning Man’er, this lively little fairy, exclaimed, having seen such a bustling festival for the first time, her entire evening filled with a beautifully charming smile.

Ning Man’er had grown up to be a bit more shy and reserved, but her innate nature hadn’t changed, at least not tonight as she displayed it to the fullest.

“Yes, let’s go watch the dance, there are so many handsome men,” Pang Yue said with a laugh.

Ning Man’er nodded and glanced around subconsciously, looking for Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

“Forget about them, they must have run off somewhere to whisper,” Pang Yue said, pulling Ning Man’er to the other side.

Remembering Chu Mu’s advice not to stray too far alone, Ning Man’er called upon Mu Qingyi to join them.

The men rushed to watch the enticing women dance, naturally not bothering about where they went.

The three women crossed through the crowd and at a central crossroad saw a group of men in white clothes, performing a dance that depicted combat, a cultural expression that had long existed.

The men in white performed various dances and then there were performances of battles between “Soul Pets,” though everyone knew these “Soul Pets” were just acting out prearranged moves, the high difficulty of evasive actions and sharp awareness still earned applause from the watchers.

Ning Man’er and Pang Yue watched intently, while Mu Qingyi, despite watching, was preoccupied with her own thoughts, just passing the time.

There were many people behind them, perhaps because the three women were outstandingly beautiful, there seemed to be always more people, especially men, trying to get closer to them.

“Why the squeezing!” grumbled a youth from behind.

Turning around, the youth wanted to see who was the blind fool hindering his chance to approach the beauties.

The moment he turned, he was met with a pair of cold eyes filled with murderous intent, feeling as if he had plunged into an Ice Cave with just one glance!

The youth stiffened, no longer daring to speak loudly and hurriedly moved away.

The man behind him was expressionless, his cold gaze and sharp chin giving off a dangerously snake-like vibe!

He wore a bamboo hat, its shadow partially concealing his face.

He slowly approached Ning Man’er and the other two women, and the men who had been surrounding the three unconsciously made way.

“Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss~~~~~~~~~”

A venomous snake slithered out from the man’s large clothing, exposing half its head!

This Shadow Snake was invisible in the darkness to others.

Like the other pedestrians, the dangerous man seemingly stood unintentionally behind the three women, but the Shadow Snake began to slowly emerge from his coat, its cold head inching closer to Ning Man’er.

As the three women watched the dance, none of them noticed, with Ning Man’er still excitedly clapping.

Underneath the hat, the man with the venomous snake smiled coldly, the Shadow Snake less than half a meter from them, just a light bite, and these three women would faint immediately, making it easy to take them away.

The Shadow Snake moved closer, opening its venomous mouth, its frightful fierce fangs exposed!

Suddenly, the Shadow Snake attacked, aiming straight for the delicate white neck of Ning Man’er.

At such a distance, there was no possibility of dodging!

In the moment the Shadow Snake struck, Ning Man’er finally felt the chill on her neck and instinctively tried to dodge, but she already felt the cold poison fangs touch her skin!

Panic surged through Ning Man’er’s heart, remembering Chu Mu’s warning to be wary of stealth attacks; she never imagined that these people would dare to strike at her in broad daylight.

Ning Man’er knew she couldn’t dodge, and in the moment she was bitten, she alerted Mu Qingyi next to her.

Mu Qingyi’s eyes tightened, and she fiercely turned around, her eyes full of hostility as she stared at the unsettling man behind her.

The man smirked, unafraid of Mu Qingyi.

At this distance, even if Mu Qingyi was powerful, his Shadow Snake could bite her in the instant she started casting a Spell, completing the task smoothly.

“There’s a bad person!” Ning Man’er exclaimed.

Ning Man’er also turned around, initially thinking she had been attacked, but somehow, after feeling a chilly sense of danger on her neck, it suddenly disappeared.

Pang Yue was startled and only when she turned around did she notice a chilling figure had appeared behind her, instinctively stepping back a few paces.

The venomous snake man was stunned, somewhat taken aback as he watched Ning Man’er.

She was clearly bitten by his venomous snake, how come she didn’t faint?

Looking down, the man suddenly realized that his Shadow Snake had somehow ended up on the ground, being severely stepped on!

“Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~” The Shadow Snake writhed painfully on the floor, its body somewhat shriveled, continuously bleeding from its mouth.

The man was stunned, and the next moment, a pair of fierce eyes appeared in front of him!

These were eyes as profound as an abyss, filled with hostility, and their intimidating power made the man feel numb all over!

“What a powerful aura!” The man faced those eyes with a horrified expression.

A hand slowly reached out, aiming to pinch the man’s neck.

The man, realizing his life was in danger, cast off his coat and his body turned into a black mist, quickly disappearing from the spot.

As the hand turned into claws and reached for him, it viciously grabbed at the air, and a splash of fresh blood sprayed the spot where the man had vanished.

Mu Qingyi, Ning Man’er, and Pang Yue were somewhat dazed, watching this bizarre scene.

After a while, Ning Man’er came to her senses, and lowered her head to look at her own shadow.

Ning Man’er’s shadow was moving, slowly reverting from an attacking form back to its normal appearance.

“Dark Emperor!” Ning Man’er exclaimed in surprise and joy.

She had just now been unable to dodge, only to realize it was the Dark Emperor that had protected her.

The Dark Emperor was He Cang’s Soul Pet, and after He Cang was buried under the World Monarch Tree, Ning Man’er had been searching for the injured Dark Emperor.

Turns out it had not left on its own but had transformed into her shadow, secretly protecting her all this time…

The Dark Emperor did not reveal itself, maintaining its shadow form, and no matter how Ning Man’er called it, it did not come out.

“There is danger here, we should meet up with the others first,” Mu Qingyi advised, knowing they had narrowly escaped disaster but also not letting her guard down.

“Right,” Pang Yue, also frightened, agreed. Who would have known someone would dare to attack them under such circumstances?

…

After passing through the bustling streets, Ning Man’er, through the soul contract, found Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi under a bridge on Qing River.

“Brother,” Ning Man’er ran up to Chu Mu’s side, embracing his arm with some lingering fear.

“What happened?” Chu Mu saw Ning Man’er’s distressed look and immediately asked.

Mu Qingyi approached, telling Chu Mu, “We were just attacked.”

“Yes, that person was so terrifying; I thought I was dead,” said Pang Yue, still shaken by the experience.

Chu Mu’s heart sank; he hadn’t expected Han Erxing to act so quickly; that man was truly insane!

“Are you all unharmed?” Chu Mu knew he was responsible. If anything had happened to them, Chu Mu would have stormed the Divine Sect and slaughtered Han Erxing.

“We’re fine, Dark Emperor saved us,” Ning Man’er said, looking down at her shadow.

“Dark Emperor?” Chu Mu was taken aback.

Wasn’t the Dark Emperor He Cang’s Soul Pet?

Chu Mu glanced at Ning Man’er’s shadow and, using his Soul Sense, suddenly felt a strong life force!

“So it’s been with you all along,” Chu Mu remarked.

The master had already left this world, and the soul contract had broken, yet it continued to protect Ning Man’er.

Seeing this, Chu Mu felt even more respect for He Cang and the Dark Emperor!

The Dark Emperor was powerful; if not for He Cang holding off seven immortal-level powerhouses alone with the Dark Emperor, Chu Mu would not have had the chance to transform into the black and white half-demon.

With the Dark Emperor constantly by Ning Man’er’s side, Chu Mu could rest assured about her safety.

However, just because they were unharmed didn’t mean Chu Mu wasn’t angry!

Han Erxing, not daring to confront him directly, had targeted those close to him instead, and what Chu Mu could least tolerate was someone harming Ning Man’er.

This time, the Dark Emperor had protected Ning Man’er, but if not for the Dark Emperor, had Ning Man’er been abducted by Han Erxing, how could he face those guardians who sacrificed themselves for Ning Man’er, and how could he face a respectable powerhouse like He Cang!

“Mo Ye, Dream of Oblivion, protect them and head back,” Chu Mu instructed.

“What about you?” Ye Qingzi felt Chu Mu’s rising anger and said worriedly.

Chu Mu didn’t respond, his expression gloomy as he walked away alone.

…

Walking down the bustling street, the surrounding splendid lanterns’ flames inexplicably flickered, emitting a cold temperature, changing between black and white…

Chu Mu continued along the street when suddenly, a woman veiled in a mask appeared behind him.

“Do you know where Han Erxing is tonight?” Chu Mu asked nonchalantly.

“I know,” Yu Suo responded.

Chu Mu nodded and said no more.

At that moment, his pupils underwent a strange change: his left eye turned black, and his right, silver! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (NovelFire.net) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
