Chapter 160 - Zin Shi
"But seriously, why did the linears connecting the worlds fluctuated? Did I use too much force when I opened the gate?" Jin Rou rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment. While he was still inside the gate, the linears, which connect all of the worlds and maintain its resonance, suddenly fluctuated abnormally as if it was disturbed. That's why the gate ended appearing in the sky, and Jin Rou fell from it. Although this was the case, he found the trip of falling from the sky amazing.
After pondering things for a moment, Jin Rou decided to move and know where he was by using his eyes. However, before he could do so, a woman's voice suddenly entered his ears saying, "Who... who are you?"
"Huh?" Jin Rou was a bit surprised when he heard this voice. He had thought that there was no person in this radius and only knew that there was a beast, "Someone's actually here? How come I could not detect it?"
This triggered his curiosity and traced where the voice came from. Soon, he saw a maiden-like beauty with red short hair. With her petite and curvaceous body complementing her face, she could already rival the beauty of Miyu Dong of the Royal Castle. No, this girl was a bit prettier than Miyu Dong as there was something special within her in just first glance.
As Jin Rou used his Godly Eyes and was shocked when he discovered something, "A direct member of the Shi Clan?"
One should know that the Shi Clan was one of the Four Prime Clans that were under the rule of the Rou Celestial Family. The Shi Clan was a very powerful clan that even the other three prime clans would not dare to wage war against them. Maybe if worse came to worst, they would. However, as much as possible, they did not want to oppose the Shi Clan. Not to mention, this clan was strongly being supported by the former Celestial King, Fan Rou.
The Shi Clan's specialty is Blood Arts, which they can control their blood and make it into deadly weapons. However, this blood was not the normal blood other usually had, their blood was very unique that it amounts more than several thousand times from normal blood. And those who had this type of blood were the direct members of the Shi Clan. And also, there were those who had this type of blood, but it was not that pure. Those were the branch members of the Shi Clan. There are more than a hundred direct-level Shi Clans lurking in all the worlds and there are no less than several thousands of branch-level Shi Clans all around.
And obviously, this girl in front of Jin Rou was from the branch-level of Shi Clan. However, she surprisingly had the pure unique blood of the direct members! As far as Jin Rou was informed, there was no direct-level Shi Clan here. After all, in the eyes of the Shi Prime Clan, this was just a backward world.
"No wonder I did not detect her until she spoke. She had that unique blood inside her." Although Jin Rou did not detect her, it did not mean that he could not dodge it when she attacked. After all, he was the strongest boy in the universe, counting out his family.
After thinking things, Jin Rou finally realized that this woman was looking at him like he was a terrifying monster that eats people without further hesitation. So Jin Rou initiated a conversation and said, "No need to be afraid. I won't hurt you. I am Jin, what is your name?"
Jin Rou thought that this girl may have suffered a severe trauma just a while ago judging from her current expression. But what made amazed him was that even though this girl was very scared, she did not move her feet that were planted on the ground like it was stuck there. Or maybe she did not have the guts to do so?
Hearing the gentle voice of Jin Rou, Zin Shi calmed down a bit and her trembling legs decreased. However, she was still scared. After all, this young man in front of him just killed the beast which they were fleeing from with just one stomp falling from the sky. What if this man had ulterior motives? What if he was planning on doing some nasty things with her pure white body? This thought made her shivered.
But after a moment of running her imaginations wild, she mustered all her strength and said, "I am Zin Shi..."
"Oh." This time, Jin Rou smiled as his speculations were right. This girl was really from the Shi Clan. After all, besides the unique blood they had, their red-shining hair made the clan very easy to be distinguished as their hair was also had very unique characteristic traits.
Jin Rou paused for a moment and asked, "Then why are you here and covered with blood? You are fighting the beast I stomped a while ago?"
Seeing the eyes of Jin Rou that hid no hidden motives, Zin Shi calmed down a bit and began narrating the entire scenario that happened from the very start.
"You're saying that this mountain should not have any overlord-level beast here?" Jin Rou asked and used his aura to detect everything inside this mountain without being noticed. After several seconds, he confirmed that it should really be the case since the next strongest here was only at the fourth stage of Emperor Beast.
"Then where is your grandfather?" Jin Rou asked.
Zin Shi pointed her trembling into a direction with a solemn expression.
Jin Rou traced the location and went there. After checking him, he softly whispered, "His soul was retrieved and already about to undergo inspections and reviews to enter the Yellow River of Reincarnation. I guess it can't be helped then."
Jin Rou was planning to revive Zin Shi's grandfather. However, it would disturb and create turbulence if he tried to get the soul in the Underworld. After all, although he could do that without a problem since he was the Celestial King, it would create problems for the people managing the Underworld.
After a while, Zin Shi buried his grandfather in where he died and pierced a cross made of wood, silently praying to the Gods while crying.
After which, the two went down the mountain together as soon as possible.
