Chapter 941: Fishy

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Patriarch Sun once said that there were no humans, nor Asmodians or other ancient races in the Underworld Realm, only Xuan Beasts that were beyond count.

However, there were plenty of humans here and the leading lady could speak the human language with standard Central Plains’ accent…

Lu Li felt puzzled. Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs were struck dumb with astonishment.

A moment later, upon closer look, Lu Li suddenly shouted, “No, those girls are nothing but phantoms. This lady here is no human. She is sinister-looking.”

Since he had consumed the claw of a Beast God, apart from being able to control low-rank Xuan Beasts, Lu Li had become more sensitive to their smell. He had sensed a sinister smell from those girls. Those girls were all looking at Lu Li in awe, except for the leading lady. Those girls were all frightened by his Beast God power. That was how Lu Li sensed something was wrong.

“What?”

Patriarch Sun came to realize the truth. He checked carefully with psychic power and soon realized that something was wrong.

Apart from the lady with the crown, the other girls all had a bewitching spirit surrounding them. Their looks were unnatural. It was evident that they had applied sorcery to themselves.

“Beast God!”

Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs were prepared for any eventualities. They stared at the stunning lady that was wearing a crown, shocked.

Beast Gods could take the shapes of humans? This stunning lady looked nothing different from her human counterparts.

“Ha, ha!”

The lady with a crown smiled before her words came out. She was shy like a girl, instead of being tempting like a mature lady. She nodded to Lu Li. “Human leader, you are extraordinary. I am Zi Ji. Nice to meet you, Grand Master Lu.”

“What?”

Lu Li was taken aback. He and Patriarch Sun looked at each other; they were both stunned. Lu Li stared at the lady in confusion and asked, “You know me?”

“Hee, hee!”

The lady named Zi Ji stuck her tongue out; she then said while grinning, “Grand Master Lu, you have earned a reputation which was known around the world. Who in the Heaven Reverse Universe do not revere you? It is true that I have been spending my years in the Underworld Realm but every now and then, I will go out and explore the world. Of course, I have heard stories of you, Grand Master Lu.”

Lu Li came to understand. He asked another question while frowning, “You are the Beast God of the Underworld Realm? Why can you transform into a human being?”

“Yes!”

Zi Ji nodded. “I have been cultivating for thousands of years and by luck, I reached the Beast God stage. I am of a special Xuan Beast species, the Mermaid Race. I was able to transform into a human when I reached the Beast God stage. Those are all my people. They are still Beast Kings and therefore, cannot take the shape of humans yet.”

Zi Ji explained with honesty, which had lessened the killing intent in Lu Li. Zi Ji could take the shape of humans and she did not exhibit any violent energy. To Lu Li, Zi Ji was a human.

Of course, there was something more important—

This Beast God was useless to Lu Li. He desired the blood of special Beast Gods to use their Origin Blood Essence for awakening new Bloodline skills.

It was evident that this Beast God could not help Lu Li awaken another Bloodline skill because the silver dragon mark in his body did not give any reaction to it, and his blood was not boiling. He was not touched at all when he saw Zi Ji.

This Beast God could transform into a human being. She was humble and hospitable. Naturally, Lu Li would not want to get into a fight.

This Beast God cultivated for thousands of years just to be able to take the shape of a human being. To kill her without a reason would be cruel.

He asked another question, “Zi Ji, are you the only Beast God of the Underworld Realm?”

“Yes!”

Zi Ji nodded. She bowed and asked, “Honorable human leader, you have come to the Underworld Realm. Please accept my invitation to entertain you. Please come to the island and taste the best of our food in the Underworld Realm. I have always been an admirer of you—Grand Master Lu—and I desire to befriend a human being as well. A rare chance has presented itself today. Please accept my humble offer.”

“Eh?”

Lu Li and Patriarch Sun were surprised. If this Zi Ji was a real human being, Lu Li would not have hesitated. However, she was a Beast God, one that possessed enigmatical skills. What if they were ambushed on the island?

Lu Li thought for a while. Zi Ji was begging with her eyes. Even so, Lu Li made up his mind.

He could not take any risks, although this Zi Ji did not seem to be dangerous. That being said, he had come with Patriarch Sun and many others. He had to take the responsibility of protecting the human race. He could not risk his life randomly.

He shook his head and said, “No. We have no more business here in the Underworld Realm. We are now done with our mission here. Zi Ji, we will be on our way. Goodbye!”

Patriarch Sun and the others were relieved. They were about to turn around with Lu Li and fly away when the smiling Zi Ji became another person. Coldness glowed in her eyes as she grinned, “So… you want to do this the hard way? You think the Underworld Realm is a place where you can come and leave as you wish? You have killed so many of my people. Hmm. Woo—”

Zi Ji let out a shrill scream. The 11 Beast Kings under Lu Li and the others suddenly roared and flew up.

At the same time, the girls behind Zi Ji made their move. They floated around like shadows. The mist thickened and enveloped Lu Li and the group…

“Something is up. Watch out!”

A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li’s eyes. He released the Feather Wind castle at once and covered up himself and the patriarchs. This Feather Wind castle was not large. It merely had a circumference of 100 feet, enough to protect his people.

He was not clear about his enemies. He could not include the Beast Kings and Zi Ji in the castle. He must protect himself and learn the situation better before doing anything.

“Roar, roar~”

Eleven Beast Kings flew up and attacked the Feather Wind castle. Many walls collapsed.

Lu Li was not worried about the walls being broken down because he could repair them quickly. Those were just Beast Kings, so they were not that destructive.

“Woo, woo, woo~”

What concerned him was the strange musical sounds from all around him. It was a beautiful sound, melodious. He could not tell the instrument that made the sound.

“Well… something is wrong!”

After a while, Lu Li noticed that his surroundings were changing. He found himself in an elegant palace on the island. The palace had many fine pink gauzes, behind it stood breathtakingly beautiful girls. They wore exposed clothes, and all of the girls were tempting. They walked out from behind the fine gauze and some even began to undress…

“This illusion is impressive. But still… insignificant skills!”

The silver dragon mark on Lu Li’s Core of Soul glowed. The illusion fell apart. He was astounded when he checked his surroundings with psychic power.

In that instant, his Feather Wind castle had burst open. Patriarch Sun and the other four patriarchs were flying towards Zi Ji. Their eyes were filled with lust. They had forgotten about themselves.

“Well done!”

Lu Li said to himself. If he was late by the time for another breath, the five including Patriarch Sun might have been captured or killed.
