Chapter 383: Chapter 259: The Villain Yu He, Dongqing’s Old Injury
Translator: 549690339
“Chu Chen, do you still remember our battle bet?” Yu He pretended to be calm and said.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded his head and then continued talking with Ye Qingzi.
Yu He’s mouth twitched slightly. Chu Mu’s behavior had truly angered him. Yu He still remembered the loud slap Chu Mu had given him in the face. It could be said that in over twenty years, Yu He had been slapped for the first time by someone outside his family!
“The poison effect should be obtained by sucking the life of other poisonous soul pets, but at the same time, something must be used to protect the wood heart to prevent the poison from infecting itself. In other words, the stronger the poison effect, the stronger the spirit items protecting the wood heart must be. This might be a considerable expense. After all, these spirit items that protect the wood hearts are equivalent to giving soul pets a certain immunity to poison from insect species, flower species, and vine species.” Ye Qingzi explained to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded and asked, “How did your Pan Wood Spirit obtain its poison?”
“The Pan Wood Spirit has a flower attribute. It realized this when it metamorphosed to the fourth rank.” Ye Qingzi blinked, seemingly puzzled why Chu Mu couldn’t even figure out this common sense.
“Oh, right. So what kind of spirit items can have this effect?” Chu Mu asked.
“Essence Dew, it is a special dew condensed in the Mysterious Realm of the forest. It is not liquid and has a pearl-like form. It generally exists within the flower buds of some flower soul pets. Flower soul pets are rare in themselves, and those with Essence Dew are even rarer. So, if this Essence Dew can resist level-eight poison, its price is close to ten million.” Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were sitting relatively close. Yu He had been interested in Ye Qingzi since their previous encounter, and now, seeing these two people completely ignoring him while discussing the poison of flower species made him uncomfortable. After all, the two of them had a good conversation and were very invested in each other, like a little couple in love, only missing holding each other’s hand…
“Essence Dew, haha, I happen to have a drop of level-eight Essence Dew. I was just thinking about what to use as a bet for our battle, and your words made me realize.” Yu He couldn’t let the two keep ignoring him, so he decisively intervened in their conversation and focused the topic on his battle with Chu Mu.
“Oh, thank you.” Chu Mu raised his eyebrows and said.
“What do you mean, ‘thank you’? Do you think you can win against me?” Yu He found that these people didn’t take him seriously at all. There was no need to pretend to be polite any longer, so he responded with a cold snort.
Ye Wansheng, who was next to them, laughed when he saw Yu He couldn’t play pretend anymore. He gave Chu Mu a thumbs up and said, “You have a black heart, and you forced this guy to make a ten million bet!”
Battles always need stakes, and Chu Mu’s battle bet with Yu He was a challenge to himself. However, receiving rewards while challenging oneself is, of course, even better. It gives more motivation to fight.
“What’s your bet then?” Yu He was not stupid, and he wouldn’t let Chu Mu take advantage of him for free.
“Wait, you two are having a battle bet?” Miss Sha and Dongqing were clearly outsiders and looked at Chu Mu and Yu He with surprise.
When Yu He mentioned the battle bet earlier, the two thought Yu He was deliberately picking a fight, but they didn’t expect that they had already been targeting each other.
The smell of gunpowder had started to spread, and Yu He no longer showed his hypocritical appearance, displaying an attitude of pride and contempt. He wanted to see if Chu Mu dared to play a bet close to ten million or not!
“Young Master, the master invites you all to come. The meeting is about to begin.” At this moment, the servant came slowly and said to everyone.
“Let’s discuss this matter later and enter the hall first?” Dongqing also realized that this matter was not simple, and immediately eased the tension between the two sides.
Yu He didn’t say anything but sneered and stood up, mocking Chu Mu, “In my opinion, you’d better choose an empty place to test with me. In a situation like today, if you lose, it would be a loss of face for your backing, the Soul Hall Young Master.”
After saying this, Yu He did not pay attention to the others and headed straight towards the conference hall of the City Lord Mansion.
“Yu He, you’re so arrogant on my turf. Did a donkey kick you in the head?” Dongqing was not the kind of person to swallow his pride. Seeing Yu He tearing his face away, there was no need to show any courtesy to Yu He, the master.
“Calling you Young Master is just because of your father. Without Old City Master Li, you would be nothing but a second-rate Soul Pet Master. Practice for a few more years before you talk to me.” Yu He completely dropped his pretense, even being rude to Dongqing.
Dongqing’s anger was clearly revealed, his cold eyes staring at Yu He, but he still took a deep breath and suppressed his resentment.
“This despicable lowlife! He cheated and killed someone else’s main pet, but he’s still shamelessly talking about cultivating for a few more years. Two years ago, Yu He was nothing but a dog following others around, wagging his tail and begging for favors!” Miss Sha couldn’t contain her anger anymore and pointed at Yu He’s retreating figure, cursing him loudly.
Chu Mu’s gaze fell on Dongqing, and indeed, Dongqing seemed extremely agitated, especially when Miss Sha mentioned the events of two years ago. The veins on his face almost burst out.
“Dongqing? What’s going on?” Chu Mu asked Dongqing to sit down and began questioning.
Dongqing wasn’t impulsive by nature either. He sat down and drained the tea from his cup but didn’t speak for a while.
Miss Sha wasn’t one to keep things for long either, so she directly spoke, “You should have met the friends Dongqing and I had before. They were all young people from Li City and represented the major powers of Li City – Soul Hall, Business Association, Soul Pet Palace, Elemental Gate, Zhanli Realm, Spirit Sect, Nightmare Demon Palace…”
“Two or three years ago, we all formed a large group with Dongqing as the leader, including Yu He. However, Yu He was a despicable and shameless scum. He deliberately hid his true strength, and when they went out to train, he killed Dongqing’s main pet by taking advantage of Dongqing’s trust in him, causing Dongqing’s strength to be severely diminished.”
Miss Sha was very passionate, as if she couldn’t wait to tear Yu He apart. Actually, Miss Sha had been holding back for a while. Since everyone had their own status, making a scene at events like this would certainly lead to a scolding from the elders. However, when the tension between Chu Mu and Yu He ignited, Miss Sha couldn’t help but lose her temper and started cursing at Yu He’s back, disregarding her ladylike demeanor.
Dongqing had also been suppressing his anger since earlier. He and Ye Wansheng were both holding back their resentment. Even when Yu He said such malicious words just now, Dongqing could only forcefully swallow his anger because he knew he was no match for Yu He at the moment.
The elders of each family knew each other, and the grievances of the young people must be resolved by themselves. Dongqing knew that he couldn’t be impulsive until he had the strength to stand up against Yu He.
“That’s not all. Later, Yu He formed his circle in Li City and excluded Dongqing. In the end, only me and those useless people were left.” Miss Sha continued.
“It turns out everyone is in the same boat, huh. It seems Yu He is a damn bastard.” Ye Wansheng finally took off his mask and sneered.
“Tell us how you became enemies with him.” Dongqing, having gradually stabilized his emotions, asked.
Chu Mu relayed his and the Ye siblings’ encounters with Dongqing and Miss Sha.
“I was already 100% sure that Yu Lang and Feng Ya were killed by him when I first heard the news. Now that the eyewitnesses are you guys…But Yu He is really cunning, leaving no direct evidence. We can only hope the Soul Hall people overlook it and sanction Yu He.” Dongqing said.
“Yeah, otherwise, he’ll continue to get away with it, and who knows how many people will be harmed by him in the future.” Miss Sha said.
“Why don’t you seem to have much faith in Chu Chen?” Ye Qingzi asked, puzzled at the two sighing people.
Since Chu Mu was going to have a decisive battle with Yu He, he could naturally teach Yu He a lesson before the trial, and even kill one or two of Yu He’s Soul Pets. However, both Dongqing and Miss Sha seemed to have not mentioned the matter of the decisive battle, as if they had no hope of taking their anger out on him during the fight.
“Well… Yu He may be hateful, but he is really powerful. None of us in our age group are a match for him, and those more powerful than him have already gone further into higher and more distant places to train.” Miss Sha looked at Chu Mu and said softly.
Miss Sha had only seen Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast, and while its speed was truly impressive, speed alone could not guarantee victory in battle.
“Young Master, the Master has called for you…” The old servant bowed and reminded the group.
“We’ll talk more about this later and enter now, so as not to be disrespectful.” Dongqing suddenly realized it was getting late and asked the old servant to lead the way immediately.
“Yeah, let’s talk after the meeting. Yu He is bound to be waiting for me after it.” Chu Mu said.
The meeting was about the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, so Chu Mu didn’t want to miss anything. Yu He’s matter was trivial compared to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s affair, which was of paramount importance.
