Translator: 549690339

“Your Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox is quite impressive.” Xia Guanghan slowly stood up, and after uttering this sentence, he turned and left directly.

Chu Mu watched the retreating figure of this cold and proud man, vaguely sensing that Xia Guanghan, three years later, seemed far more elusive.

Every Prison Island King in the Nightmare Demon Palace attracts considerable attention, and people eagerly extend their olive branches, inviting them to join their ranks.

However, the situation is now very clear, this eighteen-year-old Prison Island

King is already under Xia Guanghan’s command, and everyone in the Nightmare Demon Palace knows Xia Guanghan’s character, naturally, there are not many people who dare to poach Xia Guanghan’s people.

So, including Zhou Luleng, the rest could only shake their heads and leave, and they could guess that nurturing a Prison Island King like this would likely further elevate Xia Guanghan’s status in the Nightmare Demon Palace.

“This is yours…” Zhou Luleng stood up, placed the Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal he had lost to Xia Guanghan in front of Chu Mu, and left without lingering.

Chu Mu stared at the valuable Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal in some confusion, his expression filled with perplexity.

“This is a gift from Lord Xia.” The frosty woman named Feng Xiang, who had stood behind Xia Guanghan earlier, said indifferently. Chu Mu glanced at her, merely nodding his head.

“Follow me.” Feng Xiang said.

Chu Mu still nodded, following behind the tall, arrogant woman.

Feng Xiang led Chu Mu into the grand and majestic palaces of the Nightmare Demon Palace, proceeding along the complex and intricate corridors and passages.

“The Nightmare Demon Palace is divided into the Inner Demon Palace and the Outer Demon Palace. As a ‘Nightmare Demon Young Master,’ you have access to the Inner Demon Palace. However, your residence is still in the Outer Demon Palace. There are distinct markers delineating the Inner and Outer Demon

Palaces, and there are guards on the routes. When entering the Inner Demon Palace, show your Identity Badge. However, do not wander aimlessly within the Inner Demon Palace; inquire clearly about your destination and follow the route. If you stray into a place you’re not supposed to, you may end up becoming a prisoner again.”

Walking ahead, Feng Xiang roughly explained some rules of the Nightmare Demon Palace to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu just listened and didn’t interrupt, his gaze sweeping over these brilliant buildings.

“Alright, this is your residence, assigned according to your position.” Feng Xiang opened a solitary room within a courtyard and spoke to Chu Mu.

Back at his clan, Chu Mu also lived in a separate courtyard. However, the style of this courtyard at the Outer Demon Palace was different from his own, in terms of luxury it was not in the least inferior. The Nightmare Demon Palace truly did have vast wealth, to provide a residence for a master attendant, equivalent to the young master of a major clan.

“Shortly, someone will bring twenty women to your house, and you can choose two to serve as your personal maids.” Feng Xiang said.

“Oh, who are these women?” asked Chu Mu. Chu Mu was used to being alone; if it was unnecessary, there was no need to have women follow him.

“They are some Soul Warriors, who have signed soul contracts with the Green Nightmare Demon and have about a Third-level Title in the Nightmare Demon Palace.” Feng Xiang replied.

“What does ‘Title’ mean, and what does ‘Henghai Yan’ mean, that you just mentioned?” Chu Mu asked.

“Title refers to position in the Nightmare Demon Palace; it’s divided into ten levels, with one being the lowest and ten being the highest. ‘Henghai Yan’ is the Nightmare Demon Palace 7th Level title, one of the highest honors for members of the Nightmare Demon Palace under thirty. In addition to having the authority of the Vice City Master in cities below the 8th level of the Nightmare Demon Palace, you can choose one Soul Technique Book to study from the Nightmare Demon Palace Book Pavilion each season. If you give up on the Soul Technique Book, you can choose a Soul Crystal instead. For other rights. you can ask your maids.” Feng Xiang explained.

Chu Mu nodded his head, quite surprised to have received a Level 7 title in the Nightmare Demon Palace.

“Later, if Lord Xia has any matters, he will send them to you through me. The Little Princess is not currently in the Palace; you can return to your clan for now and do something for the Nightmare Demon Palace.” Feng Xiang said.

“What is to be done?” Chu Mu asked.

“Someone in Gangluo City will tell you when you get there. Also, the Yang Family has failed to deliver what Lord Xia wanted; Lord Xia is currently too busy to care about them, so you could take care of this matter while you’re there.” Feng Xiang said.

Chu Mu didn’t ask any more, just nodded his head.

The Yang Family was definitely something Chu Mu intended to deal with; their time of great crisis was just around the corner!

“If there are no other questions, you rest here for the meantime, and along the way you can sort out your appearance. If you need anything, command the maids to find me.” After Feng Xiang said these words, she did not linger further and, somewhat coldly, turned to leave.

After Feng Xiang left Chu Mu’s room, some change appeared in her frosty expression. She suddenly took a deeper breath, then murmured to herself, after the renewed air: “This guy simply stinks to high heaven!”

“However, he’s filled with a killing aura yet knows to conceal it, he speaks little, is decisive, calm. If controlled well, he’ll become a formidable tool for Lord Xia.”

After Feng Xiang’s departure, Chu Mu sat down in a chair. From Xia Guanghan’s attitude, Chu Mu could guess that Xia Guanghan certainly wanted to train him as his subordinate.

Chu Mu was pursuing the path of the strong, but he hated constraints. Even though the Nightmare Demon Palace offered such generous terms, he remained unmoved, because he knew, aside from supreme power, the Nightmare Demon Palace also likely held a lot of unseen restrictions.

MO Ye, as a continuously mutating soul pet, would presumably undergo another race mutation before long. Xia Guanghan had already witnessed the

Moonlight Fox, and had now taken notice of the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox. If MO Ye underwent another race mutation, Xia Guanghan would definitely become aware. At that point, MO Ye, as a continuously mutating soul pet, would be exposed!

During his time on Prison Island, Chu Mu had witnessed all kinds of deception and intrigue. Although he had not thoroughly understood Xia Guanghan, Chu Mu was certain that Xia Guanghan was a person who would stop at nothing to gain benefits. If Xia Guanghan knew that Chu Mu had a continuously mutating soul pet, he would undoubtedly seize it without hesitation.

Therefore, Chu Mu’s priority was still to figure out a way to break free from Xia Guanghan’s control!

Not long into Chu Mu’s contemplation, a black-clothed man led twenty women dressed in green gauze skirts into Chu Mu’s room.

“Ahem… are you Henghai Young Master Yan?” The black-clothed man’s expression became a bit odd when he saw Chu Mu’s peculiar attire upon entering the room.

“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the twenty maids brought by the black-clothed man.

The twenty maids, all around the age of eighteen and with similar figures, were enticing in their gauze skirts in early spring. As they moved their jade-like legs, they could easily provoke a man’s innate desires.

These women had evidently undergone strict training. As they stood in line in front of Chu Mu, they all maintained the same subtly graceful pose, heads slightly lowered, causing Chu Mu to be a bit taken aback.

In fact, when these twenty women entered the room and saw Chu Mu, they all became pale with fright.

They all had third-level titles in the Nightmare Demon Palace and would have some status if they were assigned to other Nightmare Demon Palaces. In the Nightmare Demon Palace, only a seventh-level Yan would be assigned third-level titled female members as maids.

If a woman is attached to a member with a high title, her own position is indeed more secure, with the Master at least able to protect her.

However, what made these beautiful women change colour was that their soon-to-be master, Henghai Young Master Yan, looked like a mountain man, a weirdo exuding a stench, with animal-like eyes that seemed ready to swallow them up at any moment.

A maid must serve her master, and these young girls were prepared for that. In their minds, each Young Yan of the Nightmare Demon Palace was charming and handsome, and they could accept serving such young talents. But

Henghai Young Master Yan seemed tremendously terrifying, and they feared they might be tormented to death by this beast-like man.

“Please don’t choose me, please don’t choose me…”

Therefore, as the twenty young girls curtsied, they all bowed their heads and began to pray quietly.

“Ahem… Young Yan, you may… Choose any two… Oh, you are Henghai Young Master Yan, you can choose from those from Henghai…” The black-clothed man sounded weird, and as his eyes swept over the group of women, he locked onto the maid standing in the center.

When she heard this, the maid trembled, a flash of indignation in her eyes.

“Alright, then her.” Chu Mu nodded and after finishing speaking, his gaze swept over everyone else, before finally choosing another girl with clearer eyes.

“You two stay, serve Young Yan well!” The black-clothed man seemed unable to stand the unpleasant odor in the room. After ordering the two girls to stay, he immediately took the other eighteen women away.

As the other eighteen women were leaving, they cast somewhat schadenfreude glances at Qinghe and Ting Yu, feeling relieved that they had not been chosen.

For women like them, they indeed needed to cling to high-positioned individuals in order to survive in the Nightmare Demon Palace, yet if they did not choose the right person to serve as a maid, their lives would become even more miserable and hopeless.

After the door was closed, the girl with the clear eyes partially crouched down, though tears were already swirling in her eyes, she held them back, not letting them fall.

As for the girl who also hailed from Henghai, she seemed relatively calm, but her face was very pale. She kept her head down, not daring to look at their Master’s incredibly greedy eyes.

“Prepare some hot water for me, I need to take a bath.” Chu Mu took a few more glances at the girl from Henghai, finding her somewhat familiar, but didn’t think too much about it and put on a big young master’s demeanor.

The two girls didn’t dare to defy Chu Mu’s wishes and immediately followed his orders. However, the girl with clear eyes couldn’t help letting her tears fall at the thought of serving this man in his bath. Who knew what this beast-like man would do during his bath!

“Sister Ting Yu, what do we do? His eyes are so scary, as if he wants to swallow us whole. Do you think he will force us…” On their way to fetch hot water, the young girl, Qinghe, immediately panicked.

“1…1 don’t know either, let’s take our time getting the hot water and think of a plan.” Ting Yu felt the terror of the man’s gaze as well.

“But what if we have to serve him all the time, even if we manage to escape today..

“We can only take things one step at a time.”

(Very soon, our Chu Mu will return to his clan with a bang, it will be a passionate performance, so slam those monthly tickets down like crazy!!!!!)
