Chapter 987: I've locked up the empress, how to break this! 40

Jin Chen, upon arrival, saw White Marsh's true form lying on the ground.

It seemed to have lost consciousness and fallen into a deep sleep.

Jin Chen stepped back again, glanced at the administrators working as usual, and asked, "What's wrong with Lingduan White Marsh?"

One of the administrators said, "Don't worry, it's just a temporary soul out-of-body."

"Oh."

Jin Chen stepped forward again and closed the door of the space.

0731 darted over to White Marsh, patting its body with its paws, "Boss boss boss! How are you?"

White Marsh showed no response.

Jin Chen leisurely lay on the sofa, his consciousness spreading out, detecting traces of an intrusion, and silently thought, "As expected."

"Boss boss!"

0731 persistently jumped onto White Marsh's back, bouncing up and down trying to wake it. "Wake up quickly!"

Jin Chen's mouth twitched, "Take it easy, don't kick it to death."

A faint phantom of a divine beast suddenly appeared on the wall flashing with blue light.

"How did you come back so suddenly?"

The phantom of White Marsh projected, its beast eyes looking toward 0731.

"Boss boss! Where are you! Why did you suddenly block my contact!"

0731 quickly raised its head, waving its forepaws in the air.

"In the Void Realm, imprisoned demons have become tumultuous; I came to suppress them and repair the barrier."

"The Void Realm... no wonder."

0731 readily accepted this reason, scratching the ground with its paws.

Jin Chen: "What's going on with this evaluation? Have you lost your mind?"

White Marsh wondered, "What evaluation?"

"The evaluation only applies to other taskers; with your current status, you don't need to undergo it."

0731: "No, Boss, after the previous incident we suddenly received news that the Main God became the protagonist and still needs to complete some progress toward a happy ending... the Host is heartbroken!"

"They also said our mission failed and we must return to accept a demotion punishment!"

White Marsh obviously had no knowledge of this.

It thought for a while and replied, "Perhaps my soul is not at the Headquarters, the system link had an accident, triggering the evaluation; there's no need to worry about it."

Jin Chen clicked his tongue, "Let me tell you some good news: your space has been broken into before."

White Marsh immediately became alert, its beast eyes scanning all directions of the space, "The demonic power is escaping; it must be suppressed with agarwood divine wood imbued with the power of the gods."

Having said that, it looked at Jin Chen, "Trouble you, please help purify the Headquarters space for the master."

Jin Chen, thinking it had nothing to do with him, said: "Ah?"

He sat up straight, blinked, sorted out the context of those two sentences, his blue eyes full of doubt.

"What does needing agarwood divine wood have to do with me?"

0731 giggled, covering its mouth and whispering, "Because you're a piece of wood."

Jin Chen: "……"

He raised his eyebrows, stunned, trying to digest this sudden information.

No wonder in almost every world, my wife keeps saying I smell of agarwood!

Turns out I'm a spirit formed from agarwood divine wood!

"This piece of wood of mine... where did it come from?"

White Marsh seemed to feel that this information could now be revealed to him without concealment.

"During the era of the ancient gods, my master brought it back from the mortal realm while undergoing tribulations, planted it in the divine temple courtyard; who would have thought it absorbed the divine realm's radiance, actually giving birth to sentience, initially taking human form."

White Marsh still remembers when Jin Chen first transformed into a human, stark naked rushing into the hall; at that time the master was still bathing, frightening it into thinking that some perverted god wanted to harass the master, almost tearing him apart.

Jin Chen: "……"

"Fine, fine, fine, it's still personally planted by my wife."

"What happened afterward? Why did I lose this memory?"

This is, up to now, the point Jin Chen is most curious about.

All memories of the past with Chenshu have vanished, like a blank sheet.

White Marsh, however, does not intend to say more.

"The timing is not right."

"Here we go again with this." Jin Chen was dissatisfied.

"Alright, I'll reluctantly help you drive away this dark power."

0731 was still preoccupied with the demotion punishment.

"So Boss! Will my Host not be demoted?"

White Marsh: "No."

The phantom began to flicker, the brief soul connection was about to disappear.

It glanced again at the Auspicious Beast that had grown somewhat larger, its beast eyes slightly closing, and the phantom vanished.

0731 shook its head, lying on White Marsh's true form's back, swaying its wings?

"Host, what should we do?"

"Let me think..."

Jin Chen observed the spatial environment, thinking about how to thoroughly resolve it, when suddenly he saw the wall behind the space flashing with golden light, the barrier opening.

He stood up immediately and walked over, his fingers nervously clenched, his blue eyes fixed on the wall as it vanished, revealing the transparent barrier behind.

0731 closely followed behind, looking up.

Golden light spread, Chenshu opened his eyes, his phoenix eyes shimmering with rippling light; upon seeing Jin Chen a smile gradually formed, the corners of his lips lifted, breathtakingly beautiful.

As before, the two pressed their palms together against the barrier.

Chenshu spoke silently, slowly opening his lips.

"Sorry."

Jin Chen paused, puzzled, obviously not understanding what he was saying, "What sorry?"

"The previous world." Chenshu continued, tapping his chest with his fingertip, "I know, you're very sad."

Jin Chen let out a slight sigh.

"Although it's true... I was a bit sad before, but that's fine, I'm magnanimous."

Chenshu was made to laugh by him, and he patted the barrier reassuringly.

"Don't doubt, no matter which world, as long as it's my soul."

"I only love you."

Jin Chen's peach blossom eyes slightly reddened, "Nonsense, I of course believe."

Only then did Chenshu relax, he lifted his gaze to look around the space, his phoenix eyes slightly chilled, golden light flourishing, his consciousness sweeping the entire bureau.

"Dark power."

Jin Chen hurriedly said: "Don't, you rest well, I'll handle it."

Chenshu however shook his head, "I'll do it."

His fingertip lightly touched his brow, a golden seal flashed, vast divine power spread, erasing all hidden dark power within the bureau.

The barrier reappeared, he still looked toward Jin Chen, the two gazed at each other silently, yet love flowed between them until the wall rose.

Jin Chen touched the tip of his nose, concealing the slight redness in his eyes.

0731 jumped onto him, "Host! Rest a bit, don't be sad, wait until you've rested enough before going to the next world."
