Chapter 194: 193 I Have Long Sleeves and Graceful Moves

Wang Wu, of course, didn't do that; he's long been accustomed to his master's goading, and all he can say about this woman is that she's like that.

"Yes, a bounty monster hunter has already come to capture you."

After receiving the news from his master, Wang Wu relayed the information to Chi Zhi, and upon hearing it, Chi Zhi showed no sign of panic on his face.

"So you still came, huh?"

Wang Wu's strength is considered quite high compared to people of this world. But if you place him in Chi Zhi's hometown—well, if it's just in Qing'an City, Wang Wu can be counted as a capable fighter.

He possesses the strength of a Fourth‑rank warrior, even at the Fourth‑rank Complete stage; that's not poor at all and can already be called an expert.

Although he's the lowest tier of experts, it's still not bad.

To put it plainly, a Fourth‑rank warrior in Chi Zhi's hometown is roughly equivalent to the pre‑update Broken Delusion realm of the Tianyuan Realm, one tier above the True Realm, placing him at the entry level of experts.

Of course, before the update, Broken Delusion wasn't that low in the True Dao power hierarchy.

Chi Zhi doesn't know where Wang Wu comes from, but she doesn't think this guy can handle the bounty monster hunters of the demon race who came to capture her.

Having stayed in the human world for so long, his speech habits have changed.

"When I met you, Mr. Wang Wu, I already had a feeling; now is the time," Chi Zhi said with a smile, then rose from the chair.

"Then I won't disturb you, for if those guys saw us together, it might have a bad effect on you."

"No, don't!" As Chi Zhi was about to leave, Wang Wu immediately called after her: "Don't hurry off; I still want to go to Wind Country with you! Don't go!"

Wang Wu isn't planning to go home right now; going home can be done anytime, after all a ride‑hailing car can take him back, so there's no need to rush.

After finally venturing out and finally encountering their powerful demon empire, doesn't he have to see it with his own eyes?

This thing isn't that straightforward, for Wang Wu, such a powerful demon empire.

You should know that when Wang Wu was in the Tianyuan Realm, even with the Extreme Heaven Palace, the monsters in the Hundred‑Thousand Great Mountains still treated humans rather… how to put it? Rather as the weaker side.

"Huh?"

Chi Zhi, who was about to leave, froze, then turned to Wang Wu: "Mr. Wang Wu, you… you want to go to my hometown?"

"Didn't I just say that? Otherwise, what's the point of chatting with you for so long?" Wang Wu said, "And when they arrive, I can plead on your behalf and see if they grant you any face."

According to Chi Zhi, the monsters of Wind Country aren't much different from those of the Tianyuan Realm; they all love that thing. Whether it's pure love or normal, that trait is deeply etched into their genes.

After all, it's like eating and drinking; how could they lack it?

Even transcendents must draw energy from the world's spiritual qi; they're not perpetual machines, after all, they still need to eat and replenish energy, just with more refined methods and broader sources.

Since the monsters over there aren't much different from those here in the Tianyuan Realm, the methods used in the Tianyuan monster society should also work against the Wind Country monsters.

If the visitors are a pair of mother monsters, then thanks to Wang Wu's smooth diplomacy and versatility, he should be able to flatter them nicely and spare Chi Zhi some trouble.

Wang Wu is very popular in Heavenly Python City; he's well acquainted and close with neighbors on all sides. This stems from his smooth diplomacy and versatility.

Of course, he also has a sincere heart.

Being with Wang Wu is very comfortable, extremely so. The kind of comfort that can make a monster feel like soaring, as if on a cloud, beyond the nine heavens, up in the firmament.

That can't even be called a cloud; it should be considered beyond the atmosphere, plain and simple.

"My strength may not be impressive, but don't underestimate me," Wang Wu said with a smile to Chi Zhi. "You don't need to worry about my safety; although you're a criminal, to me you're an excellent leader and a very kind monster."

"If I can, I'll definitely make sure they don't trouble you too much."

"You damn it, you won't go after the monster right in front of you, yet you're thinking about those two bounty hunters over there??"

Yin Shenli was puzzled; the female monster right in front of Wang Wu clearly liked him, so why didn't he choose her, and instead kept thinking about those two monsters ten thousand eight hundred li away??

Wang Wu still ignored his master, which instantly irritated Yin Shenli, who kicked Wang Wu in the face.

But Wang Wu showed no reaction, merely taking a deep breath before continuing to address Chi Zhi:

"But if you're going to be taken away, have you already chosen a successor here?"

"Already chosen," Chi Zhi nodded. "I started training him long ago; over the years he's handled all the base's affairs, and I rarely deal with matters myself, only appearing publicly as the city's face."

"But I still need to step away for a while; since my own kind who came to capture me are still on the way, I should still have some time."

"Before they arrive, I'll try to get all the remaining matters in order."

"Mm," Wang Wu replied. "When they come, I'll go find you."

"..." Chi Zhi said nothing, only gave a slight nod before turning and leaving.

"Fuck, stop hesitating, go already!??" Watching the farewell to Chi Zhi but taking no action, just hugging her… uh, nothing, Yin Shenli couldn't help but shout angrily:

"Fuck, why aren't you going?"

"I have no interest in her, Master," Wang Wu said. "It feels too proper, probably meaningless. Besides, she's into pure love, and there's no emotional basis between us, so it's pointless."

"What does it matter whether she's pure love or not? Just go for it, okay?"

"I still think this isn't right," Wang Wu shook his head. "Master, how about I perform a few more shows for you today?"

"Hmph, then you must follow my instructions completely from now on."

"Fine, Master, I will follow your teachings absolutely; whatever you say is what it is, I will never defy you."

Time passed quickly like that, though not for long.

About five days later, the two bounty monster hunters' airships arrived within this star system.

"This place..."

Inside the jade‑plate‑shaped craft, Long Qing looked at the barren void outside and said to his brother Long He, "This place feels a bit eerie..."

The territories of Wind Country are all very ordinary planets; in this universe, space civilizations vie for those habitable zones.

Not all planets in the universe are habitable, and such planets are even rarer here.

If the March Civilization's star system were measured by Wind Country's standards, it would be a very high‑grade habitable system, because within it you sense no evil aura.

If the demon race lived here, they wouldn't even need to practice any cultivation; mere wild growth would ensure they wouldn't become corrupted for two or three thousand years.

The demon race's corruption is also affected by the surrounding environment, a fact the Tianyuan Planet's demons are still unaware of, because every part of this star system looks the same.

Long Qing and his sister Long He are both rookie bounty monster hunters; they've spent little time adventuring beyond their nation's borders, so their exposure to this dark universe is relatively limited.

Therefore, upon arriving in this star system, she naturally let out such a sigh.

After all, compared with where I live, this place truly feels like a paradise.

Unlike the Long siblings, the star system where the Chai Zhi live is a somewhat polluted system, so the environment isn't that good.

The pollution refers to "true calamity" or demonic calamity; in demon‑clan society it's usually the latter.

The heavier the pollution, the lower the livability rating. The mother star system of the Chai Zhi can be called a "bitter‑cold land" in the Wind Nation, with a relatively poor environment and underdeveloped economy.

Under those conditions, a major family in her city still exploits the common folk wildly, no wonder she feels upset.

Judging from how beloved this demoness is here, the Li family of Qing'an City can't be a good lot.

"Are you sure that Chai Zhi hid here?" Long Qing slapped the snack out of her brother's hand, saying displeasingly, "Speak! Stop looking over there!"

"No, elder sister, can't you stop talking so much?" Long He, whose snack was slapped away, instantly became very annoyed, turned his head and glared at his sister:

"If it's here, we'll just check later and know—how much time does that even take?"

"Besides, this place isn't very dangerous; I don't feel any danger at all. You're the one who's scared— is it necessary?"

"I think it is."

As the voice rang out, the two siblings froze on the spot.

Today Wang Wu, as usual, slept peacefully amid a sea of corpses and blood. His master Yin Shenli arrived at the spaceship, which had already entered the stellar system, feeling refreshed.

Long He and Long Qing are extremely powerful: one at third‑rank warrior level, the other near second‑rank, truly formidable.

But merely that rank is still not comparable to Yin Shenli.

Perhaps it would be more suitable for Wang Wu to experience this place, but Yin Shenli thought it over and still didn't let the guy come.

She did not appear nor reveal her form, only let the two demons hear her voice.

"Were you the one speaking just now?"

Long Qing and Long He looked at each other and asked.

Seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, instantly the hair on their bodies stood up.

One can only say that demons are unbeatable in looks; when Yin Shenli saw Long Qing, a thousand images of Wang Wu and… flashed through her mind.

Although Wang Wu is her disciple, Yin Shenli is a very magnanimous master; she didn't turn Wang Wu into an exclusive possession.

Of course, because of her dark mindset, she does enjoy letting her disciple harshly humiliate those she dislikes.

For example, right now, Long Qing.

"Ha ha, when the time comes we'll make that little Wang Wu torment her until she cries and her spirit collapses…"

Watching the slightly panicked Long Qing, Yin Shenli thought to herself.

Although Long Qing and Long He look almost identical, Yin Shenli doesn't like lesbianism nor male‑to‑male relations; such things she simply cannot accept.

Therefore, she instantly ignored Long He among the two demons.

"Move! Retreat!!!"

Hearing that sudden voice, brother Long He instantly made a decision. He then slammed a button on the control panel, preparing to activate escape mode.

But soon, after pressing the button and seeing no response in the cockpit, and the scenery outside the window unchanged, Long He felt a bit desperate.

The Long siblings are newly entered bounty‑hunter‑demon hunters; they chose this profession out of longing, not for livelihood.

Otherwise, with their rookie bounty‑hunter rank, they couldn't afford such a fine spaceship.

This thing isn't cheap; a ship can sell for nearly fifty source crystals.

Converting purchase power simply, that's about five million back in Wang Wu's hometown.

One source crystal weighs fifty grams; fifty grams equals one hundred thousand units, truly a pricey item, to be fair.

Yet at this moment, even this high‑grade spaceship stalled when facing Yin Shenli's power.

Not only stalled, but moments later the ship began flying toward the direction where Wang Wu and his group were.

"Ghosts! Ghosts! Ghosts! Why, why is it moving by itself!??"

When the view outside the window changed rapidly and the cockpit panels kept flashing, sweat poured from Long He's face as he stammered:

"This, this, this…"

"Sister!!!"

He turned to look at Long Qing, only to find that the guy was now in a very bizarre state.

Her facial expression became extremely odd, her features writhing in a near‑twisted manner.

"My god, the demon‑clan's body structure is really strange, every demon looks different, huh?"

This state of Long Qing now is clearly Yin Shenli's masterpiece; she can enter Wang Wu's body, and naturally can enter others'.

And unlike Wang Wu, she doesn't need his consent, nor does she have a one‑click expulsion function; at this moment Long Qing lacks that permission.

She can only let Yin Shenli manipulate her body, making her facial features a mess.

Controlling form, twisting hearts, the Yinji Divine Sect's techniques are bizarre and monstrous, the top‑tier evil sect of the age.
