Chapter 446: What Kind of Person Is the Young Master?

Chang Haoge's Law Clone dissipated.

At the same time, the black arc that severs karma also dissipated.

The old wanderer who defeated the Demon Tribe sighed, gazed at Lin Chuan from afar, showing neither intention to strike again nor to flee.

To him, whatever he does is now meaningless.

He was already a dying demon.

He came for this battle to lift the curse on the holy ape lineage, but he met such a monster that Heaven's Mandate did not side with him.

"It's over."

The old holy ape sat atop the hill, dead air heavy around him.

On the flying boat, Mo Sangyu, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, and Yan Beicheng remained extremely tense; in their eyes, this holy ape was the greatest threat.

Although Lin Chuan's performance had left them utterly stunned, it still could not outweigh the deterrence brought by a Wangxian Realm.

Sitting the dying old holy ape there still carried a terrifying oppression.

Lin Chuan's expression was calm; he did not return to the flying boat, but walked step by step toward the old holy ape.

Seeing the young man approach, the old holy ape lifted his eyes, his gaze puzzled, and with self‑mocking laughed, "Young man, still not leaving?"

"Want to see my joke?"

"It's meaningless; I came with a death‑bound resolve."

"How about making a deal?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

The old holy ape admired this mindset, took his soul, which should greatly strengthen the Sword of All Beings.

"A deal?"

The old holy ape was startled, recalling the few words the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion had said to him before the battle.

At first, he thought the other was joking with him.

Now it seemed the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion was serious?

If not for this battle he naturally wouldn't believe it; even he couldn't accomplish it, and even many great powers of the Demon Tribe were helpless with that problem,

How could a mere little child solve it?

But now, a sliver of hope rose in his heart.

The name of Myriad Symbol Pavilion rang like thunder in his ears; after this battle it could be called a miracle, perhaps it truly can.

"Do you want my soul?"

The old holy ape asked.

"Of course."

Lin Chuan nodded in acknowledgment; a person who intends to kill him cannot be spared, and whatever the outcome, the old holy ape will die.

But he hoped the other's death would have some value.

"I intend to kill you, and you still help me?" the old holy ape asked again.

"Can't say it's helping."

Lin Chuan shook his head, "Just a deal."

"How can I trust you?" the old holy ape pressed.

"A small‑scale business, run with integrity, 100% positive reviews," Lin Chuan replied earnestly.

"……"

The old holy ape fell into thought.

Indeed, he felt no murderous intent from Lin Chuan; even after the fierce clash just now, the other still seemed as calm as still water.

Such a mindset is hardly that of a young person.

"Do you know what I'm about to do?" the old holy ape asked.

"It should be related to your clan's bloodline."

Lin Chuan, based on past memories, could guess it easily.

"Hmm."

The old holy ape, in a conversational mood, explained the reason, "My holy ape lineage has been cursed, the bloodline sealed, unable to produce offspring."

"Moreover, all conceived offspring die in the womb within a very short time."

"Eventually our clan devised a method, sealing the newborns in the ancestral treasure, the Five‑Colored Stone, to keep them safe."

"But due to the curse, they still cannot be born."

The old holy ape, with a try‑it‑out attitude, recounted the whole background.

"I can solve it."

Lin Chuan accepted in one breath.

The old holy ape frowned, "You've never seen the curse, yet you swear you can dispel it?"

"Belief or not doesn't matter; try and you'll know."

Lin Chuan was brimming with confidence.

Play with a curse?

Who could outplay him, the ultimate of the Way of the Soul?

To him, this was truly a matter of picking it up at will.

"Fine."

Now that matters stand as they are, the old holy ape could only trust Lin Chuan; after all, he wouldn't live long, and for him, it's just a matter of death.

Lin Chuan deceiving him was also meaningless.

Before the matter is resolved, he could not sacrifice his own soul.

"Let's go, take me to the Ancestral Land of the Holy Ape lineage."

Lin Chuan is also swift and decisive.

"Hmm."

The old Holy Ape also began to look forward.

Back on the flying boat, Mo Sangyu and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao were both stunned; they couldn't see Lin Chuan's actions—was he even doing business with enemies?

Is it necessary?

They couldn't understand.

But none of them said anything; this is Lin Chuan's matter, and they seemed to have no standing to comment.

What concerned them more was what had just happened to them.

It was both a confession and a heartfelt remark—how embarrassing, it made them blush just thinking about it; they thought they were about to die, so saying it wasn't a big deal.

Result…

Was Lin Chuan pretending?

How can they continue to live together face‑to‑face, pretending to know nothing?

Or should they just take a step further?

Become Dao Companions?

But there seems to be something still missing before that step, making them feel uneasy.

Soon, Lin Chuan and the old Holy Ape went into the secret chamber to continue discussing the curse.

The girl in the green dress stood outside the door, her gaze occasionally shyly flicking this way, as if wanting to join them for a chat but feeling a bit bashful.

Seeing this, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao stepped forward and pulled her over.

"Lü Ya, when did you and Lin Chuan meet?"

After coaxing Lü Ya into a little wine, the conversation quickly became familiar; Mo Sangyu was no longer the irritable Xiong Mo Nu at this moment.

Lü Ya's personality needs no further explanation.

The three women were temporarily in good conversation.

"We met a long time ago," Lü Ya replied softly.

"Is that so?"

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled charmingly, noticing that the girl was unlike ordinary people, showing no signs of worldly experience.

After leaving Lin Chuan, she couldn't speak smoothly.

"When did you board the flying boat? We didn't know," Tu Shan Jiao Jiao asked again.

"I've always been on the young master," Lü Ya answered honestly, not deceiving.

"Huh? On the young master…'s body?"

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao stared dumbfounded, "What does that mean?"

"Exactly."

Lü Ya explained seriously, "I am a Heaven‑and‑Earth Tribe of the Spirits Shapeshifter; before shapeshifting, I had been parasiting on the young master."

"I see."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao understood; no wonder an inexperienced girl could wield such arcane sword, her clumsy sword moves still able to resist great power,

It turns out she is a Heaven‑and‑Earth Tribe of the Spirits Shapeshifter.

She is probably not an ordinary Heaven‑and‑Earth Tribe of the Spirits.

The two women's jealousy instantly faded considerably.

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao blinked, "So, you know Lin Chuan well then?"

Since she is a Heaven‑and‑Earth Tribe of the Spirits, having lived on Lin Chuan all this time, she must understand him thoroughly, far more than they do.

"I suppose so," Lü Ya nodded.

"Then what do you think, what kind of person is Lin Chuan?" Tu Shan Jiao Jiao asked.

"Hmm…"

Lü Ya tilted her head, thinking, trying to organize her words, "The young master is a very strange person."

"Strange?"

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao was curious, "Why do you say that?"

"Just because he's strange."

Lü Ya couldn't give a specific reason, "Anyway, he's just unlike ordinary people."
