The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

Pang Yue wasn’t very low level anymore, so healing the four winged flying horse was very quick. She first fixed the four winged flying horse’s poison teeth beast poison before slowly healing each wound up with her spells.

The horse very quickly showed recovery. According to Pang Yue’s estimates, it should be healthy by the morning.

Seeing the four winged flying horse sleep comfortably, Xiao Xiao finally let out a breath of relief.

“You’re tired, come to my room to rest.” Chu Mu said to the tired xiao Xiao.

A strange look flashed throguh Xiao Xiao’s eyes to which Chu Mu quickly explained helplessly, “I usually meditate, so I don’t sleep at night…..”

Xiao Xiao didn’t decline any further and went to Chu Mu’s room to rest.

After Xiao Xiao left, Pang Yue immediately smiled profoundly, her large eyes filled with questions yet she didn’t ask any of them.

“.....” Pang Yue’s expression showed that she definitely thought wrong. Chu Mu explained, “Don’t think too much about it.”

“You brought back a woman that looks like Qingzi, how can I not think more?” Pang Yue was smiling like a little devil.

“Alright, you think slowly yourself.” Chu Mu said and sat down beside the sleeping horse and closed his eyes and started to meditate.

Pang Yue pouted. She originally wanted to tease Chu Mu, yet he was unafraid of any accusations because he was morally upright. Truly boring.

Pang Yue collected all the shiny purchases she made back into her spatial ring and climbed onto her bed to sleep.

She didn’t have Chu Mu’s determination of continuing to meditate every single night right after coming back to the city from a half year training. She only wanted to take a quick nap now.

……

Early morning, Chao Lengchuan was awakened by a noise in the side room. Without feeling the need to sleep more, he got up and washed up. As he walked out, he saw a woman not dressed very tidily throw the door open and leave.

After not too long, Ye Wansheng also walked out. Glancing at the leaving woman, he didn’t even bother to chase after her and instead said his greetings to Prince Chao.

Chao Lengchuan wasn’t even surprised. He spoke, “Let’s gather all the xuan items we need today. Chu Mu probably exchanged the items into xuan already.

“En.” Ye Wansheng nodded. “But, Chu Mu seems to have woken up even later than us today.”

“Haha, maybe it’s the same as your situation.” Chao lengchuan joked.

The two of them walked up to Chu Mu’s room and knocked on the door.

“No reaction?” Ye Wansheng said.

Chao Lengchuan knocked harder and after a long time, the room door finally opened.

“Chu Mu, I found a xuan teacher already, we….” Chao Lengchuan saw the door open and started speaking subconsciously, yet when he saw the person that opened the door was a languid and slightly messy but beautiful woman, he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Ye Wansheng’s eyes widened beside him, making eye contact with the equally shocked Chao Lengchuan!

If it were any other man and a woman was in their room, Ye Wansheng and Chao Lengchuan wouldn’t even react as people who’ve done it before. Yet, if it were Chu Mu, who never showed interest in this…..

Sigh, men.

“You guys are…..” Xiao Xiao looked confused at the two strangers. Having just woken up, she was still a little dazed.

“We’re Chu Mu’s friends.” Chao Lengchuan said.

Just as they were explaining, Pang Yue’s door opened and out came Chu Mu and Pang Yue.

“I’m here, she’s a friend that I met last night…..” Chu Mu came to expalin.

However, Chu Mu’s explanation only caused CHao Lengchuan and Ye Wansheng to widen their eyes even further.

Chu Mu just walked out of Pang Yue’s room!

It was a mess! Even with Ye Wansheng’s rampant imagination, he couldn't figure out the relationship between everyone there!

“Stop imagining things!” Pang Yue was red with anger and embarrassment.

……

After finishing breakfast, Chu Mu finally managed to clear the confusion.

At noon, four winged flying horse was completely recovered and to thank Chu Mu, she specially brought them to a xuan teacher she knew to help concoct the xuan items.

In the Luan City’s east area, there were incredibly luxurious courtyards, housing many famous xuan teachers.

Xuan teachers’ identities were very high and naturally couldn’t couldn’t wait for customers to come to them on the street side shops. Often, to find a xuan teacher to create a xuan item, one must first book a reservation, wait a long time, and then come up respectfully only when the xuan teacher came.

The living quarters of the xuan teachers were always busy. Regardless of whether people had requests for the xuan teacher, people would always come to maintain a good relationship. Xuan teachers also often didn’t see them because they were busy with analyzing xuan techniques.

Xiao Xiao brought Chu Mu to a rather elegant xuan teacher courtyard and, compared to these xuan teachers’ courtyards, it was actually calmer than most other places. For some reason, everyone seemed more cautious here.

“My elder has a strange temperament. These people were all rather famous in Luan City actually. The person that passed by just now is the family master of the family that owns the largest territory. He could stand high and proud anywhere else in the city, but here he has to be just as cautious as anyone else.” Xiao Xiao pointed at a middle aged man that passed by them.

Chu Mu turned around to see the middle aged man, and could tell that his soul remembrance was much higher than his.

One could tell that Xiao Xiao was indeed bringing them to see an exceptional xuan teacher.

Stepping into the main palace, some servants immediately came to welcome them. The servants recognized Xiao Xiao and led them straight to the xuan teacher’s personal courtyard.

Xuan teachers’ own courtyard is separate from the guest, family, and servant’s courtyards. After all, every xuan teacher is most sensitive to disturbances.

“Is Uncle Sun busy?” Xiao Xiao asked as she was walking in.

If it were anyone else, the medicine boy would definitely have said his master was concocting xuan items. Since Xiao Xiao wasn’t a stranger, the medicine boy answered truthfully, “Master is drinking in the little forest.”

As he spoke, the boy led Xiao Xiao and Chu Mu to the courtyard.

Walking into the forest, the forest had a rock table and a few vine chairs, simple but elegant.

The man half laying on the vine chair seemed young but in reality was unpredictably aged.

Beside the man was a well endowed servant girl bending over to pour the man wine. As if hearing something interesting, she started giggling.

“This Xuan Teacher Sun really is interesting. There’s such a large group of high standing people in the great hall waiting for him, yet he puts them all aside so he could drink wine and tease his maids.” Chao Lengchuan muttered.

“Teacher, Xiao Xiao is here.” The medicine boy announced.

The Xuan Teacher Sun turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao smiling, “Xiao Xiao is here, what makes you want to check on your uncle all of a sudden?”

“I brought a few friends so I wanted Uncle Sun to help them make some xuan items.” Xiao Xiao said directly.

“Oh, a friend of Xiao Xiao’s is a friend of mine. Come sit everyone. Let me know what you want to make and what special requests you have while we take a drink.” Xuan teacher Sun said very amicably.

Xiao Xiao wasn’t fazed by this behavior. She knew that he only had two loves in this world: xuan arts and women. With a beauty like Pang Yue beside him, he definitely didn’t want to reveal his bad habits of being rude to strangers.

Of all their soul pets, Chu Mu had many above seventy percent training already.

Many people only dared to strengthen their soul pets when they got to 100 percent. However, Cu Mu wasn’t poor. If he failed, he failed but he could just go and look for more xuan items. If he succeeded, it would have been a fast track to stronger soul pets.

After telling Xuan Teacher Sun all the needed items, Xuan Teacher Sun accepted the request easily and took Chu Mu’s 140,000 xuan.

“Ying zi, give your Xuan to Tang Dong and tell him to start the concocting based on what they said.” Xuan Teacher Sun told the medicine boy beside him.

“Alright.” The medicine boy nodded and turned to leave.

“Uncle Sun, these friends saved my life, you have to help them make the xuan items personally!” Xiao Xiao was slightly unhappy as she pouted.

Xuan Teacher Sun was much better than Xuan Teacher Tang. With the same material, he could definitely create perfect quality xuan items. If Xuan Teacher Sun were busy, Xiao Xiao would have accepted the alternative. Yet, he was drinking, so why not just help them out? And it was also a 140,000 xuan transaction. That was a massive number; even Xiao Xiao never thought that Chu Mu would be this rich!

“Xiao Xiao, you don’t understand. Xuan items need a lot of steps. If I did all the basic steps myself, I would work myself to death. Don’t worry, I won’t give a 140,000 xuan transaction to the stupid Tang Dong kid. If he failed, it’s bad for my reputation. The middle and the furnace portions I will do personally.” Xuan Teacher Sun reassured.

“Much better!” Xiao Xiao’s tone was slightly relaxed.

“En? You said what? They saved your lives? What happened? What did someone want to do against you?” Xuan Teacher Sun suddenly realized and said with a face full of anger.

“That big criminal case, I finally found a lead and started following them, except the two bad people noticed me following and set up a trap to lure me in. I had to fight five of them myself. I was lucky to have Mister Chu come to save me or else next time Uncle Sun saw me, I would be a pile of ashes.” Xiao Xiao still had lingering fears about last night.

“Absolute nonsense!” Xuan Teacher Sun immediately stiffened his expression.

This roar scared even Xiao Xiao backwards.

Xuan Teacher Sun saw Xiao Xiao scared, but still took a while before he could calm down.

“Don’t touch this case.” Xuan Teacher Sun said very seriously.

“Why, do they not deserve punishment?” Xiao Xiao said adamantly.

“Punishment? You aren’t a kid, don’t use these laughable terms. Even Divine Sect only symbolically condemns such actions. Don’t act all righteous as the Demon Beast Palace. I dare swear on my reputation that the people that told you to look into this case don't want you to punish the criminals but instead wanted you to find the messiah tree seed’s whereabouts.”
