Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 357: Chapter 368: Borderland Black Inn

As they arrived at the palace gate, Meng Ji was already there. Chu Linfeng jumped off from the back of the Golden Demon Vulture and said to Meng Ji, ”Xuan’Er, how long have you been here?”

”Not long. How are we going? Are we taking your Flying Magical Beast or flying directly? Have you figured out the location of Ruo Shui?” Meng Ji asked.

”I’m not yet skilled at flying, so let’s have Old Jin take us there. I know the location of Ruo Shui; it’s quite far away near the border with Crabman Country.”

After speaking, Chu Linfeng directly took Meng Ji’s hand and flew onto the back of the Golden Demon Vulture, quickly leaving the Imperial City.

Toward Meng Ji, Chu Linfeng always felt as though he owed her something. He held her hand all the way but didn’t say a word.

The Golden Demon Vulture was very fast, and as the scenery flashed by underneath, Chu Linfeng suddenly asked, ”Xuan’Er, how do you use the Power of Space, and I only have a superficial understanding of Spatial Imprisonment. Tell me about it.”

”Upon entering the Celestial Martial Realm, the Celestial Star Pill within resonates with the heavens and the earth, allowing one to borrow a bit of its power. This needs comprehension; some understand it immediately, while others remain partially ignorant even at the Ninth Layer of Celestial Martial Realm.

Even at the Ninth Layer, many cannot fly or use Spatial Imprisonment. It’s not something to be rushed,” Meng Ji said.

Chu Linfeng slowly contemplated Meng Ji’s words. He felt his Celestial Star Pill hadn’t resonated with the heavens and the earth. He seemed to fly instinctively, without understanding why.

Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji stopped more than five hundred miles away from Ruo Shui at a small town, and as it was already late, they decided to lodge for the night and depart directly the next day.

The small town was quite desolate, typical of a Border Land, and at this moment, there were few pedestrians on the street. The Golden Demon Vulture had already entered Chu Linfeng’s body, and the two of them slowly walked along the town’s streets.

They eventually chose a barely acceptable inn to enter. For both Meng Ji and Chu Linfeng, even if they didn’t eat for ten days, it wouldn’t be a problem.

After entering, the inn’s shop assistant greeted them. The shop assistant was from the Mermaid Race, with evident fins by his ears. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji, he immediately smiled and said, ”Dear guests, are you here for food or lodging?”

”Hmm, just some simple dishes will do, and make it two guest rooms!” Chu Linfeng replied.

”One guest room will suffice, hurry and arrange it!” Meng Ji said at this time.

Chu Linfeng looked at Meng Ji in confusion, not understanding why she wanted one guest room. Could it be that he had provoked her with his recent interactions with Ouyang Qian, and she was preparing to offer herself?

Though perplexed, he dared not speak his mind, ”Just one room will do! Also, bring us a pot of wine!”

Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji found an empty table nearby to sit, then observed the inn’s diners, all of whom were from the Mermaid Race and numbering fewer than ten.

These people chatted casually with no important information, and Chu Linfeng didn’t wish to pay attention. Soon the shop assistant brought the wine and dishes and said, ”Dear guests, your room is the third room upstairs, please enjoy.”

Chu Linfeng poured two cups of wine and said, ”Xuan’Er, let’s have a toast and see how the wine here is.”

He raised his cup and took a sip but found the taste terrible, almost spitting it out. Meng Ji laughed and said, ”You think you can have good wine here? You’re not thinking.”

Chu Linfeng laughed, ”No wonder you’re not eating; you must know the wine’s bad!”

”The wine is bad, and the food is terrible too. If you don’t believe me, try it, and you’ll be dizzy later!” Meng Ji said.

”Is this a black inn? Maybe we should smash it?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”Now isn’t the time. Wait until they act. It’s best to have the food delivered to our room; if people see us not eating here, they won’t take the bait,” Meng Ji said.

Chu Linfeng didn’t understand why Meng Ji knew the food contained drugs, but still called out, ”Shop assistant, send the food to the guest room; we’ll eat in the room!”

Subsequently, the two headed directly to the guest room, and the shop assistant stared fixedly at their backs and said, ”Let them enjoy for now, later they’ll see how tough it gets. That woman must be very pretty under that veil; later, the experience will be wonderful.”

The shop assistant fantasized unknowingly that death was already beckoning him. After Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji entered the room, the wine and dishes were soon brought in.

The two pretended to eat, but both faced away from the window, so anyone outside couldn’t see if they ate.

The shop assistant wasn’t foolish and naturally wouldn’t peek from outside, but was talking with a middle-aged man: ”Shopkeeper, make sure to remember me after you’re done with that chick later!”

”Don’t worry; I’ll let you have your fun. How’s the dosing? If you haven’t drugged them properly, it’ll be a problem,” the middle-aged man said.

”Even two oxen would be drugged out; moreover, the shopkeeper is an expert at the Fifth Layer of Martial Realm. Would they dare to revolt?” the shop assistant said.

”Lin Feng, once you obtain the Water Spirit Pearl this time, what’s your plan?” Meng Ji asked.

”Stay in Mermaid Country for a while, then find a passage to go to Canglan Ancient Land!” Chu Linfeng thought and replied.

”You don’t need to find the passage to Canglan Ancient Land; you forgot there’s a disciple of yours from the Green Frost Sect in Mermaid Country. Since she could come here, she naturally knows where the passage is. Are you reluctant to leave Ouyang Qian?” Meng Ji said seriously.

Chu Linfeng felt a bit frustrated seeing the wine and dishes on the table without eating and said, ”Canglan Ancient Land is a place teeming with experts. My current strength is too low, and I must break through to the Divine Martial Realm to qualify. Moreover, there’s constant contention in the Green Frost Sect for Sect Leader, and my current strength can’t command compliance; it’ll be even more troublesome then.”

Meng Ji stood up and said, ”It’s late now; we should sleep and wait for the show to begin.”

”Sleep together? I’m afraid I can’t control myself!” Chu Linfeng said with a laugh.

”If you wish, I won’t refuse, but if people come and see your woman’s body exposed, how would that make you feel?” Meng Ji said and directly walked over to the bed and lay down.

Chu Linfeng immediately extinguished the lamp in the room and lay down too. Both were dressed, not triggering anything but making thoughts wander easily.

Meng Ji’s body fragrance wafting into Chu Linfeng’s nose made him uncomfortable, so he casually placed his hand onto her, seemingly at her waist. In the dark, Chu Linfeng couldn’t be sure.

Meng Ji didn’t stop him, and Chu Linfeng didn’t move around. After a while, he shifted his hand slightly upwards.

Chu Linfeng knew what that place was but didn’t move. He found Meng Ji still didn’t prevent him and felt hopeful. Though he couldn’t devour her, satisfying his hand was a nice prospect.

Feeling daring, just as Chu Linfeng felt proud, a sharp pain suddenly pierced his ear...
