Chapter 1330: Obtaining Meng Ji's Residual Soul

The Skeleton King stared at Chu Linfeng’s Fire Golden Body with a face full of suspicion, not knowing whether what he said was true or false. “You’re not lying to me, right? Why do you have to let that wisp of Residual Soul leave your body? Just Seal it and that’s enough!”

“You’re thinking about it too simply. The owner of this body, his strength is in no way inferior to yours. His Residual Soul is also extremely powerful. And one more thing, this Residual Soul can devour my Energy, and it’s slowly growing stronger. This is extremely dangerous. How could I possibly let such a danger exist inside me? The only way to let him leave is to let him see the woman he loves.” Chu Linfeng said very solemnly.

“There’s actually something like that? You’re not lying to me?” The Skeleton King looked at Chu Linfeng’s Golden Body in confusion and asked.

“You don’t believe me? With my strength, do I need to lie to you? I just want him to see Meng Ji’s Residual Soul so that his wish can be fulfilled. Only then can the crisis on me be resolved. Since you want to marry Meng Ji’s Residual Soul, of course I’ll help you achieve that. Don’t worry.” Chu Linfeng said.

The Skeleton King hesitated for a moment, then said, “Fine, but you need to wait. Meng Ji’s Residual Soul is still very weak right now. This time I just hope that after the Soul Mushroom matures, she can absorb the Power of Soul on it. That might allow her to possess a skeletal body.”

At this moment Chu Linfeng was extremely nervous in his heart; he was finally about to see Meng Ji’s Residual Soul. This was something he longed for every single moment. There were too many Residual Souls in this Ten Thousand Demon Cave; it was simply impossible to find her. He had finally succeeded in fooling the Skeleton King.

Chu Linfeng’s Golden Body stood there motionless, while the Skeleton King left. After a while he came back, holding a red porcelain bottle in his hand as he said, “Meng Ji’s Residual Soul is inside this porcelain bottle. Back then it was you who put her in here. I saw that she needed it too much, so I let her stay inside.”

“Hurry up and open it so he can see her. You step aside for now. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. With the relationship we’ve had for so many years, you should be trusting me. The Residual Soul in my body probably has a lot to say to her. Once her wish is fulfilled, I will naturally leave, and Meng Ji’s Residual Soul will naturally be handed over to you.” Chu Linfeng said very seriously.

“I hope you don’t lie to me, or I’ll fight you to the death. I believe you know my strength.” The Skeleton King finished speaking and left very reluctantly.

The porcelain bottle was quietly placed on the ground. Chu Linfeng hurriedly picked it up, then glanced back at the Skeleton King and found that he hadn’t gone far, clearly worried that Chu Linfeng would go back on his word.

Chu Linfeng didn’t think too much, directly pulled out the stopper of the porcelain bottle. Meng Ji’s Residual Soul instantly appeared in front of him. At this moment Meng Ji was in almost the same condition as Xuanyuan Yueyan and the Ice and Snow Fairy had been back then, but she seemed even weaker. Her entire figure was extremely hazy; if Chu Linfeng didn’t possess the Eye of Ice and Fire, he wouldn’t be able to see her at all.

Right after Meng Ji appeared, Chu Linfeng’s true body immediately sent a Secret Transmission: “Xuan’Er, I’m Lin Feng, I’ve come to save you! Don’t say anything. I just needed to confirm whether this was your Residual Soul. Now I know. You should go back into the porcelain bottle!”

Meng Ji’s Residual Soul trembled violently. She had never expected Chu Linfeng to appear here. Happiness had come too suddenly; or rather, the day of bitter-ending sweetness had finally arrived. She always knew Lin Feng would definitely come to save her. After countless days and nights of waiting, she had finally waited him out.

Meng Ji didn’t linger. Her entire figure swiftly slipped back into the porcelain bottle, and Chu Linfeng plugged the stopper and, with a thought, put the bottle into his Storage Ring.

The Skeleton King saw Chu Linfeng’s movements clearly. His whole body lunged over at once. “Yin Yang Demon Emperor, hand over the porcelain bottle! What did you promise me, have you forgotten?”

The Skeleton King had no muscles on his face, but his voice was filled with fury. If he had muscles, one would definitely see how ugly his expression was at this moment; he might even be able to wring water out of it.

“What did I say? I didn’t say anything! Hahahahaha!” Chu Linfeng laughed loudly. Fooling this Skeleton King felt so damn good. Then, with a thought, the Fire Golden Body returned to his body, and he quietly headed toward the exit of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

The Skeleton King saw Chu Linfeng suddenly disappear and immediately flew into a rage. “Yin Yang Demon Emperor, get out here! I’m going to kill you! Get out here before this king!”

As his furious roar echoed through the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, a series of explosions also sounded. The entire cave shook as if the earth was quaking and the mountains were swaying, like it was about to be destroyed. At this moment Chu Linfeng had already broken through the Restriction at the cave entrance and reached the outside.

The Skeleton King finally calmed down. If he kept raging, this Ten Thousand Demon Cave would be destroyed by his own hands. Destroying the cave was nothing, but the Soul Mushroom hadn’t matured yet, and it must not be damaged. He could only swallow this resentment.

“Yin Yang Dog! Once this king devours the Energy of the Soul Mushroom, I’ll definitely raze your Demon Palace to the ground. Just you wait!” Then he went back to the Soul Mushroom and began setting up Restrictions.

Chu Linfeng now came to stand before Fairy Lingxiao and the Jade Immortal Emperor. The Jade Immortal Emperor had already dispelled the effects of the Mind Confusing Pill. Seeing the smile on Chu Linfeng’s face, she asked, “Did you gain a lot? Is the Soul Mushroom inside this Ten Thousand Demon Cave?”

“That’s right, there is indeed a Soul Mushroom inside the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, but it hasn’t matured yet. We’ll have to wait half a month before we can get it. Which means we need to stay here for half a month.” Chu Linfeng said.

“Half a month? In half a month the entrance to the Demon Realm will have already closed. How are we supposed to get back then? Lin Feng, have you considered the consequences?” Fairy Lingxiao asked anxiously; this was a very serious matter.

“I’ve thought about it. Worst case, we just force open the Barrier entrance when the time comes. I know breaking it will be very difficult, but I believe I have the strength to break it. Don’t think too much about the rest for now. I have another good piece of news for you: I’ve obtained Meng Ji’s Residual Soul. She’s in my Storage Ring right now.” Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

“Are you serious? How did you find Meng Ji’s Residual Soul? That’s too amazing!” Fairy Lingxiao stared at Chu Linfeng in shock and asked.

So Chu Linfeng told the two women what had happened inside the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. Hearing how shamelessly Chu Linfeng had fooled the Skeleton King, the two women were both left speechless and a bit embarrassed for him.

“I didn’t expect it to be so easy to get Meng Ji’s Residual Soul. But getting the Soul Mushroom will definitely be harder. The Skeleton King will certainly be on guard. We’ll have to come up with a foolproof plan.” The Jade Immortal Emperor said at this time.

“Let’s leave here for now. I’m sure the Skeleton King’s Divine Sense can see us through the Barrier. We’ll come back when the Soul Mushroom is about to mature. It’ll definitely be lively then.” Chu Linfeng said, and with that, the three of them flickered and disappeared from the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave…
