The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

When they returned to coral city, Chu Mu recalled the astonishing scene he saw in the Heaven Boundary Monument.

“Does your Ocean Species have an Undying rank white dragon in the past?” asked Chu Mu.

Mermaid princess looked at Chu Mu in shock and asked, “How did you know?”

“Heaven Boundary Monument, I’m a Monument Tear Individual,” said Chu Mu as he pointed to the White Island direction.

“I see,” Lan Qie thought Chu Mu knew some deeper secret about the Ocean Species at first. She explained, “We call it White Ocean God. It’s the strongest ocean creature before Yellow Spring Emperor dominated the entire Ocean Species.”

“As expected, it’s a creature from the previous era......” Chu Mu nodded.

“White Ocean God has another identity,” continued Lan Qie. She took a glance at the choppy ocean and whispered, “It’s the father of Ancient Flood Dragon Person.”

Chu Mu opened his mouth, but shut up before asking what that identity was after hearing it.

The white dragon he saw in that Heaven Boundary Monument was actually Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s father!

The stronger a creature was, the poorer its reproduction ability. However, once it had an offspring, the offspring would most likely inherit the talent of its parents.

Since White Ocean God could reach the legendary Undying rank, then Ancient Flood Dragon Person would definitely be an unparalleled entity!

Chu Mu did not expect that White Ocean God he saw to have such a relationship with Ancient Flood Dragon Person!

“White Ocean God should be a pure dragon race, why does Flood Dragon possess human bloodline?” Such a question rose up in Chu Mu’s heart.

“Us mermaids can copulate with most of the Ocean Species. Flood Dragon is the child between White Ocean God and our Mermaid Queen. Hence, it’s called Son of Eternal Ocean by us. Father of Eternal Ocean is White Ocean God, Mother of Eternal Ocean is our Mermaid Queen,” said Lan Qie.

“White Ocean God, Mermaid Queen......” mumbed Chu Mu. The world of Ocean Species seemed to be far deeper than he originally thought. As he recalled White Ocean God riding above the galaxy and the majestic scene of shifting the ocean into the starry sky, something surged within Chu Mu’s heart. Perhaps that was the strongest power within a living creature’s domain!

“Mermaid Queen is also my mother. I’m her youngest daughter. Strictly speaking, Flood Dragon is my brother from a different father. Of course, he’s many thousand years older than me,” said Lan Qie a little gloomily.

Chu Mu did not know what to say for a while. Mermaid princess was so friendly and gentle, why did her older brother Ancient Flood Dragon Person possess the ambition of dominating everything and nearly maniacal killing intent?

“The Ocean Species is currently ruled by Yellow Spring Emperor. Could Flood Dragon have done all that to snatch back the rulership of the ocean from Yellow Spring clan?” asked Chu Mu.

“Perhaps. However, that’s impossible. Yellow Spring Emperor has done far more for us than White Ocean God. Our various major clans acknowledge it as our god. This is not because Yellow Spring Emperor is currently the strongest creature in the ocean, but because it has helped us Ocean Species survive the harshest period. The prosperity of Ocean Species now is all because of Yellow Spring Emperor,” explained Lan Qie.

Chu Mu did not study the history of Ocean Species, so he naturally would not understand what Yellow Spring Emperor meant to the Ocean Species.

Yellow Spring Emperor which was more respected by the Ocean Species than White Ocean God, and perhaps might even be stronger than White Ocean God......

Chu Mu imagined the appearance of this ocean god level creature. However, no matter how he tried to portray it, he could not suppress the desire to meet that Yellow Spring Emperor.

......

“Mr. Chu, the Life Providence Grass you wanted has been obtained. That warrior is injured, I need to cure it personally,” said Lan Qie.

“Alright, please thank that Ocean Species warrior for me,” Chu Mu was elated.

“You have helped us out of goodwill, it’s natural for us to repay such a favor,” Lan Qie was always polite.

Two Life Providence Grass, one would be used to dispel the corpse conversion of Night, the other would be used to resurrect Princess Jin Rou.

If they could be successful, Chu Mu would be greatly relieved.

After obtaining the Life Providence Grass, Chu Mu carefully kept them in his spatial ring.

Before leaving, Chu Mu intended to visit that little Yellow Spring again. Chu Mu decided his water type soul pet to be it anyway. Although he had not found a way to get intimate with it, nothing would go wrong by having more interaction.

Chu Mu did not inform mermaid princess and swam to that ocean trench abyss.

When he reached the trench, he saw a few figures outside the barrier.

Those figures had armor-like scales and long arms. Their webbed palms held water elemental long forks. They gave off a militaristic and stern atmosphere.

When Chu Mu swam towards the trench, those Ocean Species armored warriors suddenly turned around. They stared sharply at Chu Mu and Ning Maner, their gaze carried a chilling enmity!

At that moment, a young mermaid next to those Ocean Species armored warriors hurriedly explained a few lines. After hearing the explanations, those Ocean Species armored warriors retracted their enmity a little. However, from their cold and stern demeanor, they clearly did not want to interact with foreign species.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu looked at that young mermaid.

That mermaid was the one who guided Chu Mu at the start, the one with a healthy tanned skin and especially thin waist.

“They...... They are the royal ocean guards of the Emperor. They are here to announce the verdict,” the young mermaid was not as fluent as mermaid princess. Her tone always sounded a little bashful and stuttered.

“Verdict? What verdict?” asked Chu Mu.

“The verdict for Yellow Spring. This time, the Emperor seemed to be really angry. They are exiling it to an even further ocean region,” whispered the young mermaid.

“A further ocean region? To where?” asked Chu Mu hurriedly.

“I...... I also don’t know. It should be the ocean region beyond Eternal Ocean. It may be the inner ocean of Demon Continent, or the Wupan Ocean in human territory,” said the young mermaid.

This little Yellow Spring was the water type soul pet Chu Mu set his eyes on. It would be fine if it was exiled to Wupan Ocean, since Chu Mu could still find it. However, if it was exiled to the inner ocean of Demon Continent......

Chu Mu did not even know where Demon Continent was, let alone the inner ocean. Didn’t mermaid princess say it’s difficult to really punish this little Yellow Spring? Why are they suddenly announcing the verdict?

Chu Mu had been brooding over on how to win over little Yellow Spring. However, if it was exiled to the ocean in some corner of this world, Chu Mu would not get any chance.

“Ni!”

“Ni!”

Little Yellow Spring let out angry shouts. The ocean water was churned into a mess.

However, those royal ocean guards seemed to possess some special ability. They might not be as strong as little Yellow Spring, but after chanting a strange incantation, little Yellow Spring’s four semi-fin limbs were immediately bound. Even its agile tail was shackled by a heavy chain, making it hard to even swim!

For safety’s sake, the royal ocean guards chanted a total of ten layers of incantations. Each layer was a restraint, shackling onto little Yellow Spring layer by layer.

At first, little Yellow Spring could resist it using its strength, but after the seventh restraint was shackled, it could no longer move.

After the last three restraints were shackled, little Yellow Spring’s body was covered in dark blue shackles, squeezing so hard that its blood was seeping out between its scales.

“Ni~!”

“Ni~! Ni~!”

Little Yellow Spring seemed to have never been treated like this before. It panicked like a little child. Its angry shouts changed to pitiful pleads, constantly making whimpering sounds.

The royal ocean guards did not show any mercy. They followed their Emperor’s orders completely. No matter how little Yellow Spring pleaded, they mercilessly shackled the restraints onto it.

One of the royal ocean guards also kept opening its mouth, as if announcing something.

At that moment, the smart young mermaid translated in a low volume next to Chu Mu, “Once it ran away after eating the pearl that is called Ocean Region’s Heart. The metal shell clan had suffered impacts from chaotic ocean currents every day. There have been over three hundred thousand metal shell clan casualties from the chaotic ocean currents until now.”

“It pulled up the entire oceanic city out of spite. Now, it has become an oceanic ruin. Xuan Shark clan is still homeless up until now. Countless Xuan Shark offsprings were eaten by their natural predators. Xuan Shark clan is facing racial extinction now.”

“The Island Lizard King it gravely injured has passed away last month. The Amphibious Ocean Species are currently in a mess. Ocean Iguana clans are constantly in internal strife to fight to become the new Island Lizard King......

The crimes were recited one after another. Through the mermaid’s translation, Chu Mu was greatly shocked.

Out of those crimes, the light ones affected over hundreds of thousands of lives, the heavier ones made an Ocean Species face extinction. This little Yellow Spring was really a deviant!

If this were to happen in human society, little Yellow Spring would be an utmost evil criminal.

The royal ocean guards were still reciting something. They seemed to have reached a very important part, little Yellow Spring immediately began a desperate struggle!

The restraints became tighter as it struggled, they dug deep into its flesh!

“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu hurriedly asked the mermaid.

The young mermaid’s expression also changed a little and she whispered, “The Emperor wants to seal its strength, forcing it back to Emperor rank.”

Chu Mu was dumbfounded. Dropping from Immortal rank to Emperor rank, how cruel would it be to the prideful Yellow Spring clan?

Furthermore, it would be exiled to an unfamiliar ocean region. If there were many Dominator rank lords within that ocean region, how would little Yellow Spring survive with Emperor rank strength in those ocean regions? Its life might even be threatened!

The royal ocean guards dragged little Yellow Spring out of the barrier. Then, each of them held one end of the seal shackle and swam in a certain direction.

Little Yellow Spring refused to leave, its tail desperately coiled around an ocean boulder.

However, the royal ocean guards were really strong. They forcefully pulled out the ocean boulder. They were truly cold and merciless!

“Ni~! Ni~!”

When little Yellow Spring was forcefully dragged out and went pass Chu Mu, its eyes stared at him.

There was nobody around Chu Mu. Little Yellow Spring knew Chu Mu was a senior on the same level as mermaid princess. So it looked at Chu Mu with a pleading gaze.

Chu Mu could not bear to see little Yellow Spring suffer such a heavy punishment. Just as he was about to interfere, the young mermaid hurriedly stopped him.

“Don’t do that, you must not offend these royal ocean guards. It’s better for you to look for princess,” advised the young mermaid in a serious tone.
