Chapter 531: Chapter 403: Soul Covenant’s Secret, Memory Liquid
The Eagle Man was stunned by Chu Mu’s actions. Li Hen’s arrogance as a member of the Soul Hall stemmed from the capital he had to be arrogant. Yet, what was this youth relying on, daring to kill Shen Yicheng’s main pet even after he had begged for mercy? This was complete disdain for him, disdain for the Business Association!
Anger and a sense of humiliation arose, and the Eagle Man’s face fluctuated between dark and light, as if he would explode at any moment!
Li Hen, looking at the blood and guts spilled all over the ground, paused before bursting into laughter, oblivious to Shen Yicheng and the Eagle Man’s fiery gaze.
If they could not kill, they would at least make the enemy bleed!
Li Hen liked Chu Mu’s style. A mediocre coward would shrink back and hesitate at everything. If one had made an enemy, he must let his enemy feel the absolute fear and cast a shadow of doubt within their enemy’s heart!
“You may leave now,” Chu Mu waved his hand, signalling the palace guards to call back their Soul Pets and let the two men go.
Shen Yicheng was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode. They probably would never forget the humiliation of this day.
Although he rarely failed in his strategical plans, Shen Yicheng was completely outmaneuvered by Chu Mu this time, not only losing his just-acquired success but also one of his main pets. Shen Yicheng swore he would repay Chu Mu tenfold for this blood feud, or else he would never quell his resentment and anger of today!
Knowing that staying here would only bring further humiliation, the Eagle Man picked up Shen Yicheng and Feng Kun and walked in the other direction down the street.
The Eagle Man did not immediately summon his soul pet, only summoning his Winged Soul Pet to carry Shen Yicheng and Feng Kun after putting a distance between themselves and the people from the Soul Hall.
The Eagle Man’s face was at its darkest. He swore to remember Chu Mu’s name and would never let him go if he had the chance in the future!
Taking flight, the Eagle Man controlled his own Soul Pet, so cold, not uttering a single word…
Shen Yicheng sat weakly on the back ridge of the Soul Pet, his chest heaving, his rage ready to erupt from his body…
After a long while, Shen Yicheng’s sense of humiliation and resentment had somewhat alleviated. He subconsciously touched the position of his sleeve…
“Feng Kun, did you give me the Memory Liquid?” Shen Yicheng’s face stiffened as he hurriedly turned to ask the equally weak Feng Kun.
“Didn’t I give it to you earlier? You hid it in your sleeve to keep it from that woman.” Feng Kun replied.
Upon hearing Feng Kun’s words, the muscles on Shen Yicheng’s face twitched noticeably, his emotion that had just slightly alleviated surged again.
“What happened!” The Eagle Man saw Shen Yicheng’s strange expression and asked impatiently.
“The eighth-level Memory Liquid… is lost…” Shen Yicheng shivered, whispering in a voice that was barely audible.
“Slap!!!!!”
A loud slap severely landed on Shen Yicheng’s face, causing him to sway and almost roll off!
“Useless! Don’t you know how to put it in a Space Ring!” The Eagle Man was furiously scolding, wishing he could throw this waste, Shen Yicheng, directly off.
Shen Yicheng, covering his flushed face, dared not speak a word.
Earlier, to prevent Ye Qingzi from detecting the Memory Liquid, he deliberately put the Memory Liquid in his sleeve. During the battle, he clearly remembered putting the Memory Liquid into the Space Ring.
Shen Yicheng didn’t find the Memory Liquid in the Space Ring when he was just about to take out the Healing Medicine, so he specifically checked his sleeve, but it was also not there…
Shen Yicheng had no idea how this Memory Liquid was lost!
…
…
Ye Wansheng had been hurt quite badly, and there were quite a few among the palace guards also bearing injuries. After Shen Yicheng and his party had sullenly fled, Chu Mu, the Ye family siblings, and the Soul Hall palace guards returned to the Soul Hall.
“Chu Mu…” Ye Qingzi, controlling her Purple Robe Dream Beast, followed Chu Mu. She had a thousand words of thanks in her heart. Yet at that moment, she didn’t know how to express them, so she just kept her clear and spirited eyes on Chu Mu.
“I know what you want to say. It’s okay, I won’t force you if you don’t want to join Soul Hall…” Chu Mu smiled.
Ye Qingzi hurriedly shook her head: “That’s not what I mean, the people of the Soul Hall have made great sacrifices to save my brother. If I can work for the Soul Hall…”
“Let’s talk about this after we return. You’re tired too.” Chu Mu didn’t let Ye Qingzi make a statement.
Having spent the past few months together, Chu Mu understood that Ye Qingzi did not want to join any power. Chu Mu did not want to force her…
…
Li Hen, Shang Heng, and Zhao Cheng were all uncertain about whether Ye Qingzi was truly a descendant of the Undying Immortal. If Chu Mu personally went to Palace Master Yu to explain the situation, the matter of Ye Qingzi surely would not escalate. This way, Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng could maintain their original identities and not become prey for the major powers to compete over.
Palace Master Yu understood Chu Mu’s personal motives. However, he felt there was nothing wrong with Chu Mu’s actions. The Soul Hall, valuing freedom, actually despised the use of coercion. And this kind of respect could also be a form of fostering good relationships. In the future, when Soul Hall needed Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng’s assistance, they would surely lend their full support.
Chu Mu arranged for Ye Wansheng and Ye Qingzi to stay in the central hall, the dwelling next to his own. After reporting to Palace Master Yu, he returned to his own residence and took the opportunity to check on Ye Wansheng’s injuries.
Ye Wansheng kept his optimistic attitude. Even when Chu Mu visited, he kept making jokes with Ye Qingzi and Chu Mu. He was hinting at something and encouraging something. He didn’t act like an injured person at all.
“You should rest too. I’ll come back to see you two tomorrow … ” Chu Mu also realized that Ye Qingzi was emotionally labile this time, looking extremely exhausted. She needed to rest properly and adjust herself.
Ye Qingzi understood Chu Mu’s true intentions. A blush spread across her pale face. She simply nodded and returned to her room …
After Ye Qingzi left, Ye Wansheng’s playful demeanor also disappeared, and he lay on the bed covered in bandages.
This was the second time Chu Mu saw Ye Wansheng like this. He stood up and moved to Ye Wan Sheng’s side, said a simple goodbye, and turned to leave.
“Chu Mu.” Ye Wansheng called Chu Mu back, seeming to have something to say.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Mu stopped and turned to face him.
At this moment, Chu Mu noticed something being thrown over by Ye Wansheng. He instinctively caught it with his hand…
What Ye Wansheng awkwardly tossed over was an exquisite medicine bottle filled with clear and transparent liquid. It looked no different from ordinary spirit liquid.
“I owe you two lives. Take this. It’s worth half a life. The rest, I’ll repay later.” Having said this calmly, Ye Wansheng turned his body slightly and lay on his side facing away from Chu Mu, choosing silence.
Chu Mu held the exquisite bottle, looking at Ye Wansheng who was lying on his side. Since saving Ye Wansheng and settling him in, Ye Wansheng hadn’t said ‘thank you’ even once, this gesture was unexpected yet also anticipated.
“I’m interested in your sister and she’ll belong to me in the future. Since you once saved her life, that counts as saving one of mine, you only have to repay half a life then.” Chu Mu casually said.
Ye Wansheng turned his head and looked at Chu Mu.
Quickly turning back, Ye Wansheng said indifferently, “In that case, you owe me.”
Chu Mu was slightly stunned before understanding the implication in the words of Ye Wansheng, slightly touched.
Chu Mu said no more, he pushed open the door and left Ye Wansheng’s room.
“By the way, that’s Eighth-Level Memory Liquid. I won’t explain what it’s used for. If you don’t understand, just ask the Soul Hall elders.” After Chu Mu left Ye Wansheng’s room, Ye Wansheng’s voice drifted from inside.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded. In fact, he didn’t really care about this half-life that Ye Wansheng repaid, because in Chu Mu’s eyes, a person who has the same goal as himself and is continuously striving towards it, is someone worthy of respect.
…
“Fox Elder, what is Memory Liquid?” Back in his room, Chu Mu asked Fox Elder.
Chu Mu had never heard of Memory Liquid before. Since Ye Wansheng returned it as half a life, it must be a treasured Spirit Item.
“Young Master, remember I mentioned there’s someone who can seize other people’s mature Soul Pets?” Fox Elder replied.
“Yeah, Soul Alliance Qin Ye. Are you telling me this Qin Ye has something to do with Feng Kun?” asked Chu Mu.
“I don’t know if they have any connections or not, but the fact is, it’s not only Qin Ye who has this ability. It’s actually under the control of those who hold the highest authority in the Soul Alliance.” Fox Elder said.
Chu Mu looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning of Fox Elder’s words.
“Memory Liquid is one of the important reasons why Soul Alliance became the most authoritative power. Its effect is to cleanse the Soul Pet’s spirit, letting the Soul Pet lose its memory without a decrease in consciousness. If the Soul Pet Master merges their Soul Sense into the Memory Liquid, and uses the Memory Liquid to cleanse the Soul Pet’s spirit, then some memories of the Soul Pet Master will be forcefully imprinted into the mature Soul Pet’s spirit, leaving a soul brand on the Soul Pet. Now, I think you should understand what Memory Liquid is used for, right?” Fox Elder paused intentionally after that.
Initially, Chu Mu didn’t understand the significance of cleansing and imprinting memories, but after careful thought, horror gradually spread across Chu Mu’s face!
The main reason why it is difficult for a mature Soul Pet to sign a soul contract with a Soul Pet Master is: mature Soul Pets have a complete consciousness and memory, forming their own independent thinking. In their view, signing a soul contract with humans is equivalent to becoming a soulless slave, so mature Soul Pets would rather choose death than sign a soul contract with a Soul Pet Master.
And this Memory Liquid can wash away the Soul Pet’s memory while imprinting the Soul Pet Master’s spiritual memory onto the mature Soul Pet’s spirit, effectively solving the major problem between mature Soul Pets and signing a human soul contract…
Which means, through this Memory Liquid, a Soul Pet Master can directly sign a soul contract with a mature Soul Pet!! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to () to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
