Chapter 149: Magic Continent Lin Mu Xue
“If you young ladies and gentlemen have nothing else to do, please step aside.”
“Yes, yes, yes, please go ahead, please!”
Ming Xiang and Ming Bin and a few others quickly retreated. Sang Chu then took the last few raw stones from the elder and put them into her storage ring.
After they left, Ming Yue glared angrily at the boss: “It’s all your fault. You should have just sold them to us honestly. You just wait, I won’t let you off!”
“Exactly. If you cause us to not find the raw stones we need for tomorrow, heh, be careful on your way home tonight.”
After the group left, they didn’t notice the elder turning the ring on his hand and transforming into Grandma Mino.
She had originally just wanted to see if Sang Chu would buy slaves, but she didn’t expect not only to buy them, but also to receive Liu Sang’s personal protection.
Liu Sang was Wu Qi’s top wizard, who killed without shedding blood.
“It seems I underestimated this little girl.”
After tidying up her stall, Mino left. Every move she made was being monitored by Tu You: 【A Chu, you said this stall owner was acting strange and asked me to stay. Guess what I saw! 】
Sang Chu’s footsteps paused. The only person who would speak to her in such a joking tone was someone she knew.
【Mino? 】
Tu You: 【How did you know? 】
【Doesn’t what you said imply that person is someone we know? And there aren’t many people we know here. Besides Mino, there’s Wu Qi, and people like the shop owner and butler. Among them, who can access so many raw stones and not fear the young masters of noble families? Besides Wu Qi, it can only be Mino. Wu Qi wouldn’t come here, so it must be Mino. 】
【Yes, yes, you guessed right, it’s Mino. But why was she disguised to come here? It’s so strange. Should I keep following? 】
Sang Chu: 【No need. Come back. She probably just wanted to confirm if I bought slaves. It seems she’s very concerned about the Corpse Spirit. More people will likely be watching me from now on. Rabbit, how is the puppet’s body coming along? 】
Tu You: 【Don’t worry, it’s already being made. It’s just that this is a custom order, so it will take a bit longer. Wait a little longer, and I’ll go check again tomorrow. 】
【Yes, I hope it won’t take three days to make. 】
【You already paid for expedited service, so it’ll be fine! 】
Earlier, when Tu You went to the Time-Space Mall, she saw someone selling a puppet’s body, but it required a large amount of Spirit Stones. Sang Chu hesitated for a long time before finally buying it.
However, she didn’t expect it to be a pre-order with a three-day production time. This was also why Sang Chu had previously told them to leave first.
She couldn’t attract the attention of these big shots. Moreover, she was waiting for this puppet’s body. Once it arrived, she could use this body as a disguise and leave openly.
After they all left, she would have the rabbit come in to collect the puppet’s body. She didn’t want to use the body made with so many Spirit Stones all at once.
After browsing for a long time, Sang Jing Wen, Lu Min Feng, and Xiao Yi Fei had basically all bought slaves. Only Mu Xue was hesitant and finally bought a pair of twin sisters just before leaving.
On the way back, Mu Xue kept holding Sang Chu’s arm, looking very uneasy.
In the small shop
Mu Xue knocked on Sang Chu’s door: “Xiao Xue? Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I, I can’t sleep very well. I want to talk to you.”
“Come in.”
Although the two had a good relationship, they almost never slept together.
Because whenever they slept together at night, they would have endless things to talk about. When they were young, to ensure they could wake up on time for school the next day, they had an unwritten rule: never sleep together at night.
It was the same in the Apocalypse. They slept separately; it was a habit formed from childhood to adulthood.
Mu Xue walked into Sang Chu’s room and hugged her tightly: “Sang Sang, are all the worlds you go to so dangerous? Will you be captured too?”
Seeing the miserable state of those people, Mu Xue couldn’t help but think of Sang Chu. She was afraid Sang Chu was being treated the same way in a place she didn’t know. That’s why, even though she didn’t want to buy slaves, when she saw the twin sisters locked in a cage, being treated like merchandise and judged, she couldn’t help herself.
Sang Chu gently stroked her long hair: “I won’t. Don’t worry.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you, and I might even bring you trouble.”
“Trouble that can be solved is not trouble. Xiao Xue, you are never a burden. You are our family. During the Apocalypse, did you think I was a burden to you?”
After the Blood Moon appeared, all plants and animals instantly died. Only humans and zombies survived. Food was scarce. A Supernatural Ability User at Zhao Feng’s Base could only receive one portion of food, which might be a palm-sized bread or a small piece of compressed biscuit. Yet, even in such circumstances, she shared her food.
At that time, Sang Chu also felt like a burden. Because she had no Supernatural Ability, even though her combat skills were good and she killed many zombies, what was the point? The food she received only increased slightly.
From the beginning of the Apocalypse until she traveled to the Otherworld, she didn’t even know what it felt like to be three-quarters full. She lived by tightening her belt every day.
Held by Sang Chu and hearing her words, Mu Xue shook her head. She never felt Sang Chu was a burden. On the contrary, during the Apocalypse, having her and Lu Min Feng around made her feel much more at ease.
“Sang Sang, I feel like my Supernatural Ability is so useless. It’s not stable enough, and I’m always impulsive. If Liu Sang hadn’t been there today, what would we have done?”
Hearing this, Sang Chu smiled. She took Mu Xue’s hand and walked towards the door.
Training Room
Sang Chu released the beast slave she had bought – a cheetah. Mu Xue instinctively took two steps back when she saw the leopard, which was almost as tall as her.
“Xiao Xue, your Supernatural Ability is not useless at all. You just don’t know how to use it. Go in. I’ll let the leopard train your Supernatural Ability with you. Remember Aunt Jian’s training in the Underground City? Now is the time for practical combat. Go in and use your training results on the leopard.”
“Can I? It…”
“Yes, Xiao Xue. You need to know that in any world, besides yourself, everyone else is your enemy. You don’t need to be soft-hearted when dealing with enemies. You can think of it as a zombie or someone you extremely dislike.”
Mu Xue glanced at Sang Chu, then at the leopard. After making up her mind, she took a step forward with a determined expression: “Okay, I understand.”
“Then I’ll activate the Formation. Be careful, and good luck.”
“Okay, okay.”
Watching Mu Xue step into the Formation without hesitation, Sang Chu smiled with relief. Mu Xue’s personality was still a bit soft. She could protect her, but she also hoped Mu Xue could become strong enough to protect herself.
Sang Chu released the Formation Master Liao Tian. Seeing that he was barely clothed, she casually threw him a robe: “Watch the Formation carefully. Call me if anything happens.”
“Yes, Master.”
