Chapter 361: 247: Fierce Beasts of Li City (Part 1)

Chu Mu needed this shadow!

“Wow!!!!!!!!!!”

“Looking for death!!!!!!!!!!!”

A burst of angry curses sounded as the people walking on the street watched the Night Thunder Dream Beast pass swiftly over their heads, scaring them into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Chu Mu ignored the curses behind him, letting the Night Thunder Dream Beast lightly touch an empty spot, its agile body leaping up once again, flying over a woman’s head and sweeping off her tall hat…

He was getting close to the shadow that would allow the Night Thunder Dream Beast to display its full speed!

“Quickly get out of the way, quickly get out of the way!!”

Those people walking in the shadowy area saw a Soul Pet leaping straight towards them and panicked, quickly dodging to the side.

However, when this Soul Pet merged into the shadow area, its body didn’t even touch the ground; instead, it lightly stepped on the shadow then immediately started running in the shadowy area!

“This kid is too amazing!”

“Good, good, catch up with Miss Sha!”

After seeing this scene, the young masters in the sky who had bet on Chu Mu, widened their eyes and shouted loudly.

“Da da da~~ da da da da da”

The Night Thunder Dream Beast ran directly on the shadows above the crowd’s heads, causing panic while also stirring up many people’s envy, especially the young Soul Pet Masters. They rarely saw such a cool dark-attributed Dream Beast, its elegance and agility, composure, and smoothness when running, a gorgeous visual feast…

“How come I can’t see him?” Miss Sha turned her head but didn’t see Chu Mu. A smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself that Chu Chen must have been blocked by the Mad Beast Team.

However, just as Miss Sha was secretly delighted with her victory, she was astonished to find a wicked and elegant figure stepping on the shadows in the street whizzing past her!

“How is this possible!” Miss Sha’s beautiful eyes widened as she watched Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast speeding up in the shadowy area, finally reaching a speed twice as fast as her Bright Unicorn!

The center of the street was already in sight, and Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast was still speeding up, directly surpassing Miss Sha by three hundred meters!

With a black figure and a white tail, the wind created by the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed had turned into a gale, sweeping across the bustling street and racing towards the Central Street!

With an extremely graceful figure, the Night Thunder Dream Beast landed in the Central Street Plaza, its eyes proudly looking at the late-arriving Bright Unicorn.

“You lost.” Chu Mu smoothed his tousled hair, looking at Miss Sha with a displeased expression.

“Hmph, you cheated,” Miss Sha seemed somewhat unconvinced, her big eyes staring at Chu Mu.

As they spoke, those young masters riding their Winged Soul Pets also landed in the plaza. The people who bet on Miss Sha were certainly disappointed, while those who bet on Chu Mu’s victory were grinning and laughing.

“Dongqing, you judge, just now he left the free area, isn’t that cheating?” Miss Sha asked angrily.

“Dongqing? Dongqing? Get over here!” Miss Sha called several times but found that the young man named Dongqing was actually counting money, which made her stomp her feet in anger.

“Ah, call me? Oh, cheating, no, Miss Sha, there’s nothing in the rules that say you have to stay in the Free Area,” Dongqing said with a smile.

“But… but it’s treading on the air, that’s equivalent to flying!” Miss Sha pointed at Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast and said.

“Treading on the air is allowed, who made your Bright Horned Beast unable to tread on air? Miss Sha, you’re being unreasonable. Your Bright Unicorn has a light attribute, and it was afternoon just now, so there was sunlight, so your Bright Unicorn had an advantage. How can taking advantage of the shadows and treading on air violate the rules?” Dongqing said teasingly.

“You… hmph! I’m not playing with you scoundrels anymore. I want to go home,” Miss Sha huffed and jumped onto her Bright Unicorn, leaving on her own accord.

Dongqing watched Miss Sha leave with a helpless expression. After she was gone, he turned to Chu Mu with a grin, “Haha, my friend, you made a big profit for me. You’re looking for someone, right? Let me help you. There’s no one in Li City I can’t find!”

Chu Mu nodded, not paying any attention to the resentful Miss Sha, and briefly described the situation with Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng.

Chu Mu had previously agreed with Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng to meet near the Soul Hall. Chu Mu only asked Dongqing to help him find their whereabouts near the Soul Hall.

“Your Night Thunder Dream Beast is truly majestic, especially just now when it moved from the crowd to the shadows, a bold move made by an expert… Friend, it’s getting late, why not join us for dinner? You’ve helped me win quite a bit, so it’s my treat, my treat.” Dongqing was also very generous and magnanimous.

Chu Mu knew that it would take some time to find the Ye Family siblings, and since Dongqing was from Li City, he also had a few questions to ask. So Chu Mu didn’t refuse and joined Dongqing and a few young masters who looked like good friends heading towards a street filled with fine wine and delicious food.

“I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Dongqing, and I am the deputy captain of the Aerial Guard in Li City. These are my friends. As for their backgrounds, I won’t introduce them. They are the rascals of Li City who like to play around. By the way, you must be from somewhere else, right?” Dongqing asked.

“Yes, I’m Chu Chen, a wandering practitioner.” Chu Mu identified himself as a wandering Soul Pet Master.

Dongqing’s introduction was actually a modest understatement. Chu Mu could see that these people were not as debauched as they appeared. At least, the Winged Soul Pets they summoned before had strong combat power, especially this young man named Dongqing, who was riding a Cliff Feather Bird earlier.

The Cliff Feather Bird is a Commander-level Winged Soul Pet, and its combat power ranks among the top within the Winged species. In Chu Mu’s opinion, this Cliff Feather Bird had reached the seventh rank, and its strengthening level wouldn’t be weaker than a Peak Commander…

“Haha, you’re our guest, so have a seat.” Dongqing said.

The other young masters and ladies also acted casually, finding seats for themselves. They seemed to be familiar with the owner and the maids here, and greeted them casually. The young and lovely maids blushed as they brought the delicious dishes and were teased by these rascals.

“In the young generation, there aren’t many people who can win over Miss Sha. Brother Chu Chen, you are quite a character.” Dongqing praised.

“Indeed, not everyone can tame Miss Sha’s fiery wild mare personality. It’s quite impressive that you managed to subdue her. Hahaha!” The young masters who were in cahoots with Dongqing laughed heartily.

“Dongqing, don’t you have patrol duty tonight? Why are you drinking strong liquor now?” A young master with rings all over his hands asked, laughing.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Sigh, that old fellow has been quite strict lately, I haven’t been able to pamper my little fox these past few nights” Dongqing lamented as he poured the wine but then reluctantly shook his head.

“No worries, I’ve been feeding your little fox well these past few days. Hahaha!” Another young master laughed aloud.

“Get lost.” Dongqing kicked out, knocking the young master down. The young master looked embarrassed but still kept laughing.

“By the way, I heard that security in Li City has tightened up recently. It seems that quite a few big shots have arrived. Did something happen?”

“Yu He, that kid, ran into bad luck. I heard he’s going to be tried by Soul Hall.” Dongqing said.

“Come on, everyone knows that. We all celebrated when this happened – just one Yu He wouldn’t cause so much commotion in our Li City.”

Upon hearing the news about Yu He, Chu Mu also became interested. Chu Mu didn’t like talking much, so he just ate and listened to the conversations of these young men.

“I don’t know either. My old man didn’t say anything. All I know is that there’s something hidden in the city, and I advise you guys not to go out wandering around at night lately.” Dongqing said casually as he took a bite of mutton.

After that, Dongqing specifically looked at Chu Mu and didn’t discuss the matters he had just mentioned with others. He asked, “Brother Chu Chen, what brings you to Li City?”

“Just passing through, but I’ll stay here for a while and visit the Trading Place or the Soul Pet Palace.” Chu Mu answered.

Chu Mu was also curious about what Dongqing had just mentioned, but since he was rather vague, no specific information was given.

As they were talking, a middle-aged man who looked like a servant approached them and said to Dongqing, “Young Master, I found them.”

Dongqing nodded his head.

“They are in a Spirit Medicine Shop on Central City West Street… Also, the Aerial Guard there asked me to pass a message to you. There seems to be some unusual activity near Central City West Street and they need you to go there.” The servant said.

“What happened?”

The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, “Several Soul Pet Masters and Pets were found dead. The residents said that there have been strange things happening late at night lately. They didn’t see what those things were since they kept their doors shut tight as soon as it was late at night…”

Dongqing furrowed his brows and said, “Can’t even have a peaceful meal. Never mind, you guys continue eating. I’m off for duty.”

After saying that, Dongqing stood up and prepared to leave.

“Go ahead, go ahead, and settle the bill for us.” The other young masters and ladies waved their hands.

“I’ll join you, since my friend is also there.” Chu Mu said.

Since Chu Mu was also heading to Central City West Street, he left the dining table and accompanied Dongqing to Central City West Street.
