Chapter 22: Fantasy Cinnabar Mole (Part 1)

Translated by peonynoveltl

　　 Gu Bai came out from Qin Shitian's bedchamber and returned to the place where the devil guards live. It's much better than the previous bunkhouse when he was a novice disciple, he can have his own room.

　　When he returned to his room, he locked the door, sat down at the table and poured a cup of water. He immediately raised his head and took big gulps of water to calm down.

　　Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Gu Bai couldn't help but feel annoyed at Mo Haige.

　　Truly a wicked scoundrel*. No matter how indifferent and cold the character is, there should still be some hint*. You made the great demon leader angry and ran away so quickly, leaving the rest to suffer!

*害人精

goblin that kills or harms people

*眼色

signal made with one's eyes; meaningful glance

　　It's the same horrifying feeling, dominating everything as if it wants to devour the soul. It also nourished his soul, exactly like Nie Qingcang from the previous world.

　　He doesn't know what that feeling is and instincts tells him that it's something unusual, but that kind of energy can make his soul stronger at least.

　　It currently seems to be beneficial to him. The mysterious voice had said before that the stronger his soul is, the longer he will live and won't disappear.

　　However, why did Qin Shitian gave him the same feeling as Nie Qingcang? What's the connection between them? Or maybe it's his own misconception....

　　Gu Bai touched his lips and frowned.

　　After a long while, he got up and spoke to the empty surroundings.

　　"Master, I want to request for your help."

　　After that, he silently stood in the same place and waited. He wants to figure out some problems right now.

　　A few minutes later, Gu Bai felt the space around him twisting, as if forming a small independent space. Accompanied by a burst of pressure, he saw the illusion of a man in the air.

　　Only seeing a man floating in the air, the body is tall and strong, it can be rated as perfect. He wore a black armor painted with mysterious runes, a crown-pointed helmet on his head, and a pair of xiangyun* war boots.

*auspicious clouds

　　He also wore a half-face mask that matched with his armor. His appearance couldn't be seen, only thin cold lips and a pair of icy cold eyes were revealed. The whole person showed a kind of feeling like he's about to battle the world.

Gu Bai felt a sense of surrender, he involuntarily kneeled on one knee and spoke respectfully, "Master..."

　　"Why did you summon me?" It's that familiar mysterious voice.

　　"I remember last time master said that he can help me once in the future mission. Now I want to request for master's help...." Gu Bai stealthily went to the illusion in front of him.

　　"Are you sure that you want to use it now?"

　　"Yes, Master, I want this body to become stronger immediately!"

　　Gu Bai nodded. His current physical ability is too low, many things can't be done. This world is different from the previous world. Here, the value of strength is very important. If he becomes stronger, many things will become much easier.....

　　The illusion didn't agree immediately, it stared at him for a while before he nodded.

　　"In that case, I will promise you. Remember, it will only make your body in this world stronger. After leaving this world, everything will go back to normal."

　　After that, a black ray of light entered Gu Bai's body, and then the illusion disappeared.

　　After the surrounding area returned to normal, Gu Bai looked around, then closed his eyes and felt the energy in his body. A strong feeling arised spontaneously .

　　Although this powerful strength is only temporary, it's enough for this mission.

　 Having found a piece of black clothing, Gu Bai wore it and no longer delayed, he went out the door and took advantage of the night to sneak into Qin Shitian's bedchamber.
