Chapter 969


    <strong><em>An Immortal Master Kneels Before Vige Chief Bu – Return</em></strong>


    “If you are going to be an immortal master, you need to be one nobody can bully,” Mu Yu opined.


    “Hahha, thanks to you, that will be a reality,” responded Vige Chief Bu.


    “Gramps, if we can get out of here safely, I will bring you with me as Waterstream Vige is no longer a safe haven.”


    “I can’t tell the kids stories now?”


    “Mu Yu is nning to take you to Formation Sect since it’s now the safest ce, so you can fool the formation casters for a change. They’re all Mu Yu’s underlings,” Xiaoshuai suggested.


    “Can I?”


    “Yes,” Mu Yu answered with a smile, knowing Vige Chief Bu would revel in fooling anyone.


    “Awesome. I need to spice up the battle between us and the three white chicken monsters a tad.” Vige Chief Bu developed a habit of firing a qi st as a celebration ritual of sorts ever since receiving he jade piece.“Be careful with the sts, Gramps. It will harm people.”


    “I know. I know,” replied Vige Chief Bu, fiddling with various jade pieces while using one to fly.


    When Xiaoshuai went to the back of the mountain to pick some fruits, he came back in human form, resulting in Vige Chief Bu having a brain stutter moment. “Wh-where did youe from?”


    Mu Yu exined, “Oh, h-”


    “He’s your son?! Why didn’t you tell me? He’s adorable.”


    “Hey, hey, hands off! I’m Xiaoshuai!”


    “You’re a shape-shifting fiend?”


    “I’m a divine beast!”


    Vige Chief Bu just looked on, refusing to believe Xiaoshuai.


    “Haha, Gramps, he’s basically a brother to me. This is his other form. You will get used to it.”


    “Haha, Mu Yu’s brother, huh? Let grandpa give you a hug.”


    “You’re not my grandpa.” Because he was so busy eating, Xiaoshuai got caught in Vige Chief Bu’s arms.


    “Xiaoshuai, any rmended ns to escape this predicament?”


    “Nope. If only we set up Teleporting Handsome Formation prior toe here.”


    “Our teleportation formation will only transport us about five hundred kilometres, which would only take that Apotheosis Realm freak a couple of seconds to cover. The Teleporting Handsome Formation in Pure Peace City is too far to jump to. We don’t have any other teleportation formation that can teleport us farther. Guess we’ll need another n before Bai Jie shows up.”


    Since Mu Yu could note up with anything, he focused on creating formations for Vige Chief Bu to be productive. Meanwhile, Pce Guardian continued staking out, though he could not see what was taking ce on the mountain owing to the Contiguous Horizon Formation erected.


    “What’s the matter?” asked Vige Chief Bu, catching Mu Yu spacing out as thetter stared at the garden of divine will retrieval herbs.


    “Nothing.”


    Xiaoshuai came over, giggling. “Old Conartist, I’ll show you a magic trick.”


    Watching the grey leaves turn into golden leaves once Xiaoshuai touched the herb, Vige Chief Bu eximed, “Was that also a magic skill?”


    “This is herb is used to see if you’re handsome. It only turns golden if you’re handsome. Otherwise, it will turn blue. You’re more than wee to try.”


    Vige Chief Bu scratched his forehead. “Nah, I might not be able to change the colour.”


    “Hahaha, be more confident in yourself. ‘I’m handsome!’ Say it with your chest, and it’ll turn golden.”


    “I was handsome in my younger days, but not now,” Vige Chief Bu mumbled as he hesitantly reached out. “Oh, it’s golden! I’m still handsome, hahaha. Mu Yu, you also turn them golden, right? I always thought you were thedy-killer type.” Vige Chief Bu touched a few more with the same results, though they reverted to grey after some time.


    “No, they turn blue when I touch them.”


    “What? You’re not handsome?”


    “Xiaoshuai was joking about that. It has nothing to do with your appearance but your congruency with yourself.”


    “Your congruency with yourself? … Oh, I always believed you’re a good kid.”


    Vige Chief Bu plucked off a leaf, turning it golden. He then put it in Mu Yu’s hand and shut thetter’s hand. “The fact that you could be upfront with me proves that you’re still the same Mu Yu.”


    “Old Conartist, check out this herb; it can also change.” Xiaoshuai ran over to the other end of the herb garden. “If you’re smart, this herb will bloom when you touch it.”


    Vige Chief Bu gave Mu Yu a pat on the shoulder then made his way over to Xiaoshuai. “I’d make all of them bloom.”


    Hesitant, Mu Yu mulled for a brief moment before he opened his hand. It had been a long time, but he recognised the feeling and golden colour he saw the first time he touched a divine will retrieval herb.


    The trio roasted a chicken at Dustfallen Precipice as darkness began to fall – probably to the chagrin of the chickens on the mountain since they enjoyed prosperity after the human family moved out and stopped roasting them.


    “Mu Yu, you have a break-out n yet?” Xiaoshuai questioned.


    Also speaking with his mouth full, Mu Yu expressed, “Nope. We don’t need to fret about the barrier expiring since there’s a spiritual qi core to sustain it.”


    “You need to eat to have the energy to run,” said Vige Chief Bu, confident Mu Yu coulde up with something.


    Mu Yu went to fetch a nket for Xiaoshuai, who dozed off on Vige Chief Bu’s arms, legs resting on the elder’s belly. Mu Yu cleared the residue smell of smoke with his spiritual energy, then kicked back to stargaze – a leisurely feeling he had not indulged in for a long time. Liked it?
