Chapter 335- Fierce and Ominous VS Pretend Weak but Actually a Big Boss (01)
After leaving the previous world, Mu Jin returned to the system space, deciding to take a short break. Although the previous small world was created by Qian Sha as a trap, after they left, Qian Chen didn’t let that world be destroyed.
After all, the beings within the small world, who went through cycles of life, were real in their own way. However, Qian Chen had used some illusionary tricks to create the illusion of an explosion in that world, hoping to confuse Qian Sha.
By making Qian Sha think that Qian Chen was seriously injured, he would continue trying to find a way to attack him.
Ying had been taken away and protected by Qian Chen, and Mu Jin hadn’t seen Ying. He had no objections to Qian Chen’s actions. In the previous world, Ying had never recovered his memories, but as their subordinate and friend, Shi Haoyu left a good impression on Mu Jin.
Recalling the past small worlds with Huangfu Jian and Mao Kun, Mu Jin understood that one’s soul would inevitably be influenced, so he later thought that maybe Ying wasn’t inherently bad and was loyal to his partner. Mu Jin also felt that he could understand why Qian Chen liked him.
However, none of this concerned him. His primary goal now was to help Qian Chen take down Qian Sha. After the destruction of a few more small worlds, the connection between Qiong Qi and Ying could be completely severed.
Once Qian Sha was taken down, Qian Chen had promised to use his power to heal Qiong Qi’s soul.
Of course, in reality, Qian Chen planned to give Mu Jin more benefits because he didn’t want to owe him any favors.
Although Mu Jin’s lover now had the strength to leave the small world, if his soul remained incomplete, Qiongqi would definitely continue to suffer when he returned to the real world.
If Qian Chen was willing to help, it would clearly be far more effective than Mu Jin trying to use fate energy to nurture Qiong Qi’s soul on his own. Mu Jin was more than determined to accept Qian Chen’s offer.
From then on, whether or not Ying entered these small worlds, Qian Chen said he would use Ying’s energy to create this illusion. He also left some of his own aura on Mu Jin to confuse Qian Sha and make Mu Jin the target.
This approach was clearly quite dangerous, but Mu Jin felt that if it could achieve the goal, taking this risk would be worthwhile.
Qian Chen reminded Mu Jin that the upcoming worlds might be tampered with by Qian Sha. After the disruption of the small world, the danger would be higher than before, and he would do his best to provide Mu Jin with as much help as possible.
Mu Jin was very satisfied with Qian Chen’s attitude. Once Qian Chen had made a decision, he wouldn’t regret it. Moreover, Mu Jin felt that making Qian Chen owe him such a big favor was undoubtedly a good thing.
In the system space, Mu Jin and Teng Gen discussed their plans again before entering the next small world with 003.
When Mu Jin opened his eyes again, he saw a dense forest. Tall trees surrounded him. For Mu Jin, whose true form was a plant, this environment was undoubtedly very comfortable.
The ground beneath his feet was soft and appeared rich in nutrients. The sunlight wasn’t too harsh, and the humidity in the forest was still present, which was ideal for plant growth.
Mu Jin even had the impulse to transform into his true form and take root in the ground to fully enjoy the surroundings. However, he reminded himself that he was here to accomplish a task and couldn’t afford to waste time just enjoying the moment.
Although there were no signs of people around, Mu Jin still sensed the presence of wild beasts lurking nearby. Clearly, this wasn’t a good opportunity to relax and immerse himself in the storyline of this small world.
So, Mu Jin pretended to relax, feeling the dangerous aura approaching him from behind. As it got closer, Mu Jin suddenly shifted to the right, and a giant snake lunged at him from the trees, clearly having been watching him and targeting him as its meal for the day.
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow as he saw the snake circling on the branches, opening its massive mouth, ready to strike.
However, Mu Jin felt no tension at all because he could sense the immense strength contained within his current body. It seemed that the original owner’s physical constitution was quite formidable.
With Mu Jin’s own combat skills, subduing the python should not have been difficult. However, before he could make a move, he sensed the approach of another living presence, and this aura was one he was quite familiar with.
Mu Jin’s hand, which had been about to strike, instantly dropped. As expected, when the python lunged at him again, a stone knife flew from behind his ear, embedding deeply into the python’s flesh.
Unfortunately, the knife didn’t strike the snake’s vital spot, so while the python fell to the ground in pain and thrashed around wildly, it wasn’t killed in one blow.
A tall figure suddenly leaped out from the bushes. His speed was extraordinary, far beyond that of an ordinary person. He wielded a simple stone hammer, made by tying a stone to a piece of wood, and slammed it toward the python’s head.
In an instant, blood splattered, and the scene became intensely gruesome.
Mu Jin watched, expressionless, as his lover heroically saved him. Normally, it should have been a handsome and dashing scene, but perhaps due to the other man’s bare upper body, the rugged animal skin wrapped around his waist, and the bold swing of the stone hammer, Mu Jin found himself somewhat speechless for a moment.
In his free time, Mu Jin couldn’t help but mutter: ‘My lover’s physique is still impeccable in this lifetime.’
The man must be over two meters tall. But with this appearance, no matter how you looked at it, he resembled a wild man.
Just as Mu Jin was about to continue his commentary, a laugh echoed in his sea of consciousness. It was 003, speaking to him: “Xiao Jin, you better lower your head and check your own attire before calling someone else a wild man.”
Mu Jin blinked, then lowered his head to look at the large animal skin wrapped around his body.
Well, it seems like he was a wild man too.
However, Mu Jin still felt that, compared to his man, he was somewhat better off. At least his animal skin was a whole piece, and it was strung together with vines, resembling a simple dress.
The only problem was that the inside of the animal skin skirt was entirely hollow, and whenever the wind blew, it made him feel a bit chilly, which was something Mu Jin wasn’t quite used to.
But since even he had ended up like this, Mu Jin’s gaze inevitably wandered to his lover’s lower body. As expected, with the man’s rugged movements, a certain well-endowed area was barely concealed.
If it had been another time, Mu Jin might have whistled and teased him. But now, facing the man who had just saved his life, Mu Jin felt that he should behave more obediently and try to leave a good impression on his lover.
Once the python’s head had been crushed and it was well and truly dead, the man on the other side finally stopped swinging the stone hammer. He turned his head to look at Mu Jin.
Only then did Mu Jin get a good look at his lover. He had bronzed skin, muscles that were firm and powerful, and looked incredibly strong. His facial features were sharply defined, like they had been carved with a knife, and combined with the familiar amber eyes, he was both wild and sexy.
This man’s height was even greater than in the previous small worlds. Mu Jin had just asked 003 and found that his own height in this lifetime could hardly be considered short.
Perhaps because the people in this small world were generally taller, Mu Jin had finally managed to surpass 1.8 meters. Of course, when compared to the man’s towering stature, his own height still seemed insignificant.
Looking at their clothing, Mu Jin guessed this might be a primitive society. But he was glad that his lover had somehow managed to cut his hair short. It was likely done with a sharp stone knife. The hairstyle wasn’t anything special, but at least it looked neat.
The man had many scars of varying sizes on his body, probably from hunting in the forest and facing wild beasts. It seemed that life in a primitive society was indeed very harsh. As Mu Jin thought this, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy when he looked at his lover.
What he didn’t know was that, despite his expressionless face, Upo was actually very nervous inside.
He had been chasing a wild deer earlier, but after coming this way, it had disappeared. Then he ended up here, hoping to catch some other prey.
But as soon as he arrived, he saw a short man standing there, almost getting attacked by the giant python. When Upo saw the man being attacked, he felt a sudden wave of panic. Without thinking, he immediately took action and quickly killed the snake.
However, when he turned to look at the man’s face, Upo froze.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone so good-looking—this person was even more beautiful than the most attractive women in his tribe.
The man had very fair skin, as white as snow on a cold day. Although his animal skin was a bit disheveled, his face was clean and pristine.
head of long black hair was casually tied behind his head, with a small nose and big cat pupils. At this moment, when he looked at himself, he tilted his head slightly, which was indescribably cute.
Then, the man saw the corners of the man’s mouth curl up as he spoke softly to him in gratitude, “Thank you for saving me.”
Wu Po felt his heart racing at that moment. He didn’t quite catch what Mu Jin had said, but instinctively, he thought the man’s voice was incredibly pleasant. It was clear and melodious, even more beautiful than the cooing of birds in the woods during the warm seasons.
“What’s your name?” Upo heard himself ask.
“I’m Mu Jin. What’s yours?” Mu Jin smiled, his eyebrows curving slightly as he noticed the man staring at him intently.
“I’m Wu Po. Where are you from?” Wu Po’s question came out with a hint of urgency.
As he spoke, he observed Mu Jin closely, noticing that his face was clean, but his appearance was a bit disheveled.
Mu Jin had just arrived in this world and hadn’t yet absorbed the memories of the original owner or the story of this small world. For a moment, he didn’t know how to answer his lover’s question.
Mu Jin’s hesitation immediately led Wu Po to misinterpret the situation. He thought something must have happened to the man’s tribe, and that he was now a lone wanderer, otherwise, how could he end up in the deep forest looking like this?
At this time, small tribes were still scarce, and it was common for homes to be destroyed by natural disasters or wild animal attacks. Seeing that Mu Jin didn’t respond, Upo didn’t press further but instead felt a bit pleased inside.
This man didn’t belong to a tribe; he was alone, and Wu Po had saved him.
While thinking this, Wu Po’s gaze shifted back to Mu Jin, his eyes roaming over him. This person was truly beautiful, he thought, feeling a genuine sense of admiration.
This person was so good-looking, Wu Po wanted him to be his partner!
