The Heavenly Book Fragment was in hand, Qin Mu stared at the paper with excitement. With this thing, I might just take off immediately!
Before Qin Mu could enjoy his joy, the next moment, the rumbling sensation came again.
“There’s more?”
In front of Qin Mu, the Stone Guardian that had been motionless this whole time—its eyes suddenly lit up!
No way…
Kraa—
Like the sound of machinery turning, the Stone Guardian began to move.
“Mu’er, stay put and don’t move.”
Lu Qian finished speaking, then glanced at Chu Jiujiu beside her.
Chu Jiujiu nodded at Lu Qian.
The next moment, both figures shot forward.
Qin Mu watched nervously as Aunt Lu and Senior Chu flew off. Just when he thought this would be a fierce battle, Aunt Lu casually struck out, and the Stone Guardian… shattered!
That’s right, a single blow and the Stone Guardian broke apart. It left Qin Mu staring in disbelief.
No way! This Stone Guardian looked like it was guarding the Heavenly Book, but it was this weak?
Chu Jiujiu’s side was the same—one casual strike and the Stone Guardian collapsed with a thunderous crash.
“Truly an unexpected outcome.”
Qin Mu had thought the Stone Guardian guarding this place could at least go toe-to-toe with Aunt Lu, but it was just this?
“Boy, look up.”
Suddenly, Divine Dragon Senior’s voice rang out.
Qin Mu looked up at his words. Where the Light Beam had vanished, a Spatial Wormhole had appeared in the sky.
Could this be the passage connecting to the outside world!
At that thought, Qin Mu felt a surge of excitement.
Just as Qin Mu was about to tell Aunt Lu the news, without him noticing, behind him, a brown, furry thing had crept up to his back.
“Lu…”
Qin Mu just opened his mouth when he suddenly felt something coiled around his waist.
He looked down. A brown furry thing was tied around his waist.
What is this!
Qin Mu was startled. He whipped his head around and saw a… Monkey?!
That’s right, a Monkey. But this Monkey was huge, the size of a gorilla. What was wrapped around his waist was its tail.
“Jiji.”
The Monkey grinned at Qin Mu, and a bad premonition spread through his heart.
The next moment, the Monkey’s figure shot out in a flash.
“Nani!”
Before Qin Mu could finish his shock, his body experienced what it felt like to fly.
“Mu’er (Young Master Qin)!”
Lu Qian and Chu Jiujiu had just finished dealing with the Stone Guardian when they turned around and saw Qin Mu being taken away by a Monkey.
“Chase!”
Lu Qian shouted, and the next moment, their figures sped after it.
“Wait! Brother Monkey! Slow down, slow down!”
Before Qin Mu could even figure out what was happening, he was whisked away by the Monkey at lightning speed, almost making him vomit.
But the Monkey couldn’t understand a word Qin Mu said. Sensing someone following behind, it sped up even more.
Before long, in the corner of his eye, Qin Mu saw the Cave entrance.
After entering the Cave, the same path that had taken half an hour to walk through earlier was crossed in just a few breaths under the Monkey’s speed.
“Huff—huff—”
In a stretch of Void, a purple figure stared at the spatial barrier before him.
“No mistake. Based on the residual Qi, this guy is inside here.”
Wan Gu arrived at the place he had set up. From the residual Qi left behind by the other’s destruction, he determined that the other had been sucked here through a Space Rift.
“Hmph! This Lord wants to see just who dared to ruin this Lord’s grand plan!”
Wan Gu judged from the residual destruction Qi that the other was only at Nascent Soul Realm cultivation. Mere Nascent Soul—a role no better than an ant before him, something he could crush with a flick of his finger.
“Little thing, once this Lord catches you, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
Cruelty surfaced in Wan Gu’s eyes. His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that charged into the Little World before him.
“Jiji, jiji jiji.”
Qin Mu looked at the Monkey holding a Fruit and running over to offer it to him, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Seriously, you brought me all the way here just to give me a Fruit?
Around Qin Mu, there were a dozen more Monkeys. Looking at their brown fur, he recalled the brown color in the Murals. So these were the ones sitting in the trees.
Qin Mu never imagined that so many Monkeys lived here.
When the Monkey saw Qin Mu wouldn’t accept the Fruit, it chittered and placed it beside him, then returned to the group with a terrified expression.
As for why it had a terrified expression—because behind Qin Mu, Lu Qian and Chu Jiujiu were standing there.
When they saw Qin Mu being snatched by the Monkey, the two had chased after it at full speed, all the way to this Monkey nest. The Monkeys had initially lunged at Lu Qian and Chu Jiujiu upon seeing them.
In about three breaths, all the Monkeys here were on the ground, sprawled out and kicking their hind legs.
“How strange. A group of Monkeys like this actually lives here.”
Lu Qian remarked. When she first arrived at this Little World, she had thoroughly scanned it with her Divine Sense, and the result was that she hadn’t detected any of these Monkeys’ Qi.
It wasn’t until the Monkey took Mu’er away that she felt its Qi.
It was as if they hadn’t existed before, then suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Aunt Lu, I saw these Monkeys in the Murals in the Cave.”
Qin Mu recounted everything he had seen in the Murals inside the Cave in detail.
After listening to Qin Mu’s account, Lu Qian and Chu Jiujiu lowered their heads in thought.
“If that’s the case, this Little World might be an Opportunity for you, Mu’er.”
“An Opportunity?”
Qin Mu was even more confused, but thinking about it, he’d gotten the Heavenly Book Fragment, so maybe that counted.
Right now, Qin Mu had the Heavenly Book Fragment safely tucked against his chest.
Chu Jiujiu picked up a yellow Fruit similar to a pineapple, examined it carefully, then her delicate hand exerted force, and the Fruit dissolved into nothing in the next moment.
“Indeed. These Fruits, or rather, these Monkeys—none of them can be considered truly real.”
Hearing Chu Jiujiu’s words, Lu Qian also picked up a Fruit and examined it closely.
“It seems these Fruits don’t carry any Life Force.”
On the Heavenly Profound Continent, even stones and dust—anything related to life activity—would carry at least a trace of life’s Qi.
But the Fruit in Chu Jiujiu’s hand didn’t have a single bit of Life Force.
“Huh? These are all fake?!”
Qin Mu had just picked up a Fruit and was about to take a bite when he heard Senior Chu’s words and quickly put it back.
Sure, they said eating dirty things won’t make you sick, but eating these—forget about getting sick, there was no guarantee he’d even keep his life.
Seeing Qin Mu put the Fruit back, the Monkeys suddenly exploded into chaos.
“Jiji jiji!”
Three Monkeys ran over, picked up Fruits, and tried to make Qin Mu eat them.
Now that he knew these weren’t real Fruits, Qin Mu didn’t dare eat them. He frantically waved his hands in refusal.
