Tyrant Meets Paranoid [Quick Transmigration] – Chapter 205

Chapter 205 – Brutal Beastman Marshal vs. White Lotus, Black Lotus, Pitiful Plant Prince (32) END

Fortunately, with the Mystical Mirror, they could still catch glimpses of Mu Jin and Qiong Qi’s situation. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help more, but these small worlds were intricately complex and not as easily controlled as the spiritual artifact world created by Jumang.

If they were to recklessly enter these small worlds, not only would they risk injury themselves, but their powerful primordial forces might cause the worlds to collapse, putting Mu Jin and Qiong Qi in danger.

“Let me handle this.”

Just as they were at their wits’ end, a deep voice suddenly echoed in their ears. A black divine beast descended from the sky. The beast resembled a black panther, with dark red totems all over its black back and a moon-white horn on its head. Its muscular lines were powerful and fluid, giving it a majestic appearance.

“Teng Gen!” Mu Qing’s eyes lit up at the sight of Teng Gen. Since the curse had been lifted, Teng Gen had been in seclusion for a long time. Though his strength might not compare to Mu Qing and the others, he, like Qiong Qi, was a nemesis to the curse.

Seeing Mu Qing’s expression, Shun knew what he was thinking. However, if Teng Gen entered the small world after being suppressed, he would still face certain risks. If not suppressed, his entry could easily cause the small world to collapse, leaving them in a dilemma.

Teng Gen seemed to sense Shun’s hesitation. He nodded at Shun and said, “The devouring of the curse was an unavoidable action back then. If not for Qiong Qi, I would be the one suffering today. This is my karma, and I must resolve it myself.

Rest assured, Jumang and Bai Rui have already found a way for me to enter the small world and stay within Mu Jin’s system. I will only appear at critical moments and won’t cause the small world to collapse.”

Hearing Teng Gen’s assurance, Shun relaxed. Together with Mu Qing and the others, he opened the passage, planning to send Teng Gen to Mu Jin’s side.

When Mu Jin opened his eyes again, he found himself in a white space. He was aware that this was not the system space.

Staring blankly at the empty surroundings, all he saw was a vast expanse of white. He recalled the burst of white light that had erupted from his chest earlier—the aura unmistakably came from his master.

So, was it his master who saved him at the critical moment? Even Mu Jin didn’t know when his master had left that divine thought. But where was this place?

While Mu Jin was still puzzled, a familiar sigh suddenly echoed in his ears. Turning his head, he saw a handsome young man in white robes standing not far behind him. A subtle peony fragrance wafted from him.

“Master!” Mu Jin exclaimed, rushing toward the young man, only to receive a flick on the forehead.

Mu Jin yelped in pain, clutching his head as he squatted on the ground. Looking up, he saw the young man with peach blossom eyes glaring at him, cheeks flushed with anger. Hastily, Mu Jin tugged at his master’s robe, whining pitifully, “Master!”

Seeing this, Mu Qing sighed. He had always known how mischievous his little rascal could be. But if he were to find a well-behaved disciple, he would find it boring. Otherwise, after tens of thousands of years, only this little one had caught his eye.

Mu Qing carefully scanned Mu Jin and, seeing that he was indeed unharmed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He flicked his sleeve and let out a cold snort at Mu Jin, ignoring him.

Seeing Mu Qing’s reaction, Mu Jin knew that his master was no longer angry but just worried about him. His master had always been a paper tiger in front of him. Without his master’s guidance over the years, he didn’t know how many more years it would have taken him to achieve immortality.

So, Mu Jin quickly tried to please the young man with a cheerful smile, making jokes to lift his spirits. When he saw the young man finally relax his expression, Mu Jin cautiously asked, “Master, where is this place? How did you get here?”

Mu Qing sighed helplessly at Mu Jin’s antics and said, “This is the boundary between the real world and the small world. I sensed that you triggered the divine thought I left on you and knew you were in trouble. That divine thought has a protective function and can forcibly bring you here to prevent you from being harmed.”

“But if I’m not there, what about Qiong Qi?” Mu Jin immediately panicked upon hearing Mu Qing’s words. He thought that if he suddenly disappeared, the attacks would hit his lover directly.

Seeing that Mu Jin was only thinking about Qiong Qi, Mu Qing rolled his eyes and said coldly, “What good would it do for you to go back? Since you were pulled into this boundary space, it means that your primordial power couldn’t stop the attack. Even if you go back now, you still wouldn’t be able to withstand it!”

Originally, Mu Qing wanted to say a few words to discourage Mu Jin from being so reckless about his own safety, but seeing Mu Jin’s devastated expression, he couldn’t help but soften. “Fine,” he said gruffly, “the divine thought I left behind is not useless. Even if it can’t solve the problem completely, it can still give the enemy a hard time. I can’t fully protect your lover, but he won’t die. As for that thing, it shouldn’t trouble you in this world anymore.”

Mu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Knowing his lover would be okay, he began to lavishly praise Mu Qing, extolling his virtues to the heavens.

When he saw the young man in front of him finally smile, Mu Jin asked with some confusion, “Then, Master, why don’t you send me back right away? Surely, you didn’t just come to check on me?”

Mu Qing knew Mu Jin’s character well. He knocked on his head with his fingers before getting to the main point.

Previously, he had been reluctant to let Mu Jin know about the secrets involving Qiong Qi, hoping his disciple wouldn’t get too deeply involved emotionally. The small worlds were fraught with dangers, and although he knew Qiong Qi wasn’t as ferocious as the legends suggested, he still didn’t want his beloved disciple to be at risk.

If Mu Jin hadn’t been so determined, Mu Qing wouldn’t have reluctantly allowed him to find a way to follow Qiong Qi through Shun.

Now that Mu Jin had followed Qiong Qi through so many worlds and they were in love, Mu Qing had to acknowledge his disciple’s devotion. Thus, he decided to reveal the whole truth, hoping Mu Jin would be prepared for the future.

Upon learning the truth, Mu Jin didn’t show the surprise Mu Qing had expected. Instead, he blushed and happily exclaimed, “I knew it! I knew the person I love couldn’t be the monster they said he was! Even if he were, I’d still love him. But I knew it; the one I love is definitely the best!”

Mu Qing watched Mu Jin’s face, filled with dreamy expression, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He knocked on Mu Jin’s head again, placed Teng Gen into Mu Jin’s system, gave him some final instructions, and sent him back. He sighed inwardly, feeling helpless. Indeed, disciples grow up and can’t be kept forever!
