Chapter 42: Chapter 42: I'm Not In The Mood
Lu Zhen told the Mo siblings that they were going back. There was not much to prepare and after fifteen minutes or so they left. Mo Chao fetched the carriage while Lu Zhen and Mo Zhu waited for him, and again, it didn't take long for Mo Chao to fetch it. Just as they were walking towards the Array, a bald man with a bulky body stopped them midway.
"Excuse me but are you the one who challenged Han Jiang to a Death Match?"
"Not this again!" Lu Zhen mumbled to himself, his mood was already bad to begin with.
"Listen here, I don't have time for your nonsense. Whether I fight Han Jiang or not is none of your concern. I'm quite in a hurry so move out of the way before you regret it." Lu Zhen said. The bald man was amused by Lu Zhen's threat that he laughed hysterically,
"You're a funny one aren't ya, I'd like to..." before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhen was already standing in front of him.
At the same time, Fairy Qin Biyu was pacing around in her room, her expression was a mixture of anger and fear. She was angry at how Lu Zhen mistreated her and was afraid of what had happened earlier. She was recalling the entire scene in her mind and the more she thought of it, the more afraid she became. "When he touched me..." she thought to herself.
Lu Zhen stood in front of the bald guy and placed his hand on his shoulder and the bald man shuddered, "I'm not in a good mood so why don't you fuck off before something bad happens to you." Lu Zhen whispered in his ear. The man started sweating like crazy as fear filled his heart. What he was thinking about was exactly what scared Fairy Qin Biyu.
"Why did I feel so weak and powerless, why did I feel like a mortal?" thoughts ran through Fairy Qin Biyu's mind. When Lu Zhen held her by the neck, it's not that she didn't want to retaliate but that she couldn't. The sealing power that Lu Zhen had absorbed was ingrained in his bones and he had subconsciously used it. Fairy Qin Biyu's power and cultivation was completely sealed. If she continued to provoke Lu Zhen, she might have died and this is what the bald man was feeling now.
A complete sense of helplessness, "Why do I feel so weak and powerless? Move! Move! Move!" he shouted in his mind for his body to move but unfortunately his body didn't listen to him. His body was now acting on instincts, it told itself that it shouldn't move lest it dies here. A predator, no, an apex predator had caught it and it was only a matter of time before it was devoured. "Don't bother me, am I making myself clear?!" the bald guy nodded numerous times.
"Let's go!" The siblings looked at the bald guy with a look of understanding before catching up to Lu Zhen.
After paying the adequate amount of gold coins, the Array was activated and the carriage disappeared. The bald guy only moved after a long time. Sweat was still dripping off his face, he smiled dejectedly and said to himself, "What a terrifying guy. To think he'd overpower me with a touch of his hand. Han Jiang, this time you offended someone you definitely shouldn't have, he's a complete monster. The grave you dug for yourself, is one you won't be able to crawl out of." he then walked away.
…
Mo Chao continued his work as a coachman and it was dead silent inside the carriage.
"Master, what was that light that you exuded the other day? " Mo Zhu initiated the conversation to lighten the mood, she also couldn't muster the courage to call him husband. Lu Zhen thought for a moment before replying, "Oh that, that was my contracted Guardian Beast, I contracted with it in the Realm Of No Return, it was quite stubborn at first but it still submitted to me." and as she expected, Lu Zhen's mood got a little better. "What type of Guardian Beast did you contract with?"
"The Ten Winged Pegasus."
"Oh, so it's the Ten winged Pegasus...You...You...You actually subdued the Ten Winged Pegasus! IMPOSSIBLE!" she screamed like crazy. "Why are you so surprised? Is there a story behind Sky?"
"Sky?"
"Yes, that is his name now," said Lu Zhen nonchalantly. Mo Zhu then told Lu Zhen what she knew about Sky. Sky suddenly showed up in the world out of nowhere, he then travelled across the world in hopes to find someone worthy of it. Many tried to use force but they were either beaten to death or he would escape. One day, he visited them, everyone in the kingdom showcased their talents in hopes of being chosen by it but unfortunately the standards Sky had were quite high.
He even refused His Majesty. The reason why everyone was desperately trying to contract with this beast was because it brought prosperity wherever it went, those that interacted with it were blessed with luck. Someone was so lucky that he stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter and broke through two major realms. The Pegasus then made a deal with His Majesty, it would stay at his kingdom for a period of time and in return, he allowed it to reside in the Realm Of No Return.
Lu Zhen was flabbergasted by this information. He was wondering why his luck was so good, he woke up in a safe place, obtained the bearer of the Fenghuang bloodline, healed his soul without much effort and obtained all the material he needed to practice Array forming. Now everything made sense. After travelling for two weeks, they returned to the kingdom. Lu Zhen didn't rush to practice Arrays, he visited His Majesty because he needed his help.
"You want a secluded place that's good for breaking through and must be a dangerous area."
"That is indeed correct." Lu Zhen answered. His Majesty wondered why he couldn't break through within his courtyard. He then gave Lu Zhen the information he needed. Lu Zhen left to prepare for his departure.
