Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 358 - 369: Ruo Shui as Black as Ink

Chu Linfeng’s ear suddenly throbbed with pain, and he quickly felt something was wrong. He immediately withdrew his hand from the soft touch of Meng Ji, and the pain in his ear gradually subsided.

"Behave yourself! Did you really think I am that easygoing?" Meng Ji’s voice reached Chu Linfeng’s ears.

"I... I didn’t mean it. Why such a big reaction?" Chu Linfeng replied shamelessly.

"Hush, the show is about to start!" Meng Ji said.

Sure enough, footsteps echoed from outside the room, and one of the men said, "Looks like they’ve been bewitched. Shopkeeper, should I go in first to check?" It was clearly the voice of the waiter.

"Let’s go in together. Even if they aren’t dazed, they can’t escape from my grasp. It’s been a while since I’ve tasted a woman; today, let’s have some real fun!" said a middle-aged man.

Immediately, the waiter pried open the door, and he and the middle-aged man walked in confidently. They assumed Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji had been sedated, so they boldly lit the lamps in the room.

The room lit up, revealing Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji quietly lying on the bed. The two men were overjoyed. "Shopkeeper, this drug can last for over half a day. They’re out cold. Let me kill the boy so you can enjoy the girl," the waiter said.

As the waiter finished speaking, he unsheathed a large knife and approached Chu Linfeng, preparing to lift it and strike. But Chu Linfeng opened his eyes and grinned stupidly at him.

The waiter was shocked and stammered, "Y-you... how are you fine?" As he spoke, the middle-aged man rushed over to see for himself.

At that moment, Meng Ji opened her eyes and sat up, swiftly striking the middle-aged man’s chest with a palm strike, sending him flying several meters and knocking over all the wine and dishes on the room’s table.

Realizing things weren’t going well, the middle-aged man attempted to flee but was immobilized by Meng Ji’s use of spatial imprisonment, leaving him unable to move.

Meanwhile, the waiter tried to swing his knife with all his might and attempted to escape. Chu Linfeng blocked it with his arm, and the knife developed a large notch, while the waiter was knocked back several steps by the rebound force.

Chu Linfeng instantly sprang from the bed, appearing before the flabbergasted waiter and delivering a powerful punch to him.

He sent the waiter flying several meters, crashing through the window, ensuring the man’s demise with the attack power of Chu Linfeng’s punch.

The middle-aged man, trapped, could not escape, and in despair, he knelt and pleaded for mercy, "Spare me, girl! Spare me, young hero! I had no idea who I was dealing with. Please, spare me!"

Meng Ji and Chu Linfeng approached the middle-aged man, and Chu Linfeng chuckled, "Running a black inn and hitting on my woman, and you think you can live?"

Meng Ji glanced at Chu Linfeng and said, "Forget it, it’s not fun at all. This room’s a mess; let’s destroy this black inn and leave!"

Before Meng Ji could finish him off, Chu Linfeng interjected, "Let me handle it. I want to test how much my attack power has increased with my advancement."

Suddenly, a fireball appeared in Chu Linfeng’s hand, its heat making the entire room stiflingly hot.

With a casual flick, the fireball landed on the middle-aged man, followed by a scream of agony that only lasted five seconds before the middle-aged man was reduced to ashes and vanished before them.

Chu Linfeng was quite satisfied with the power of his fire transformation, considering it the perfect method for erasing evidence. However, Meng Ji was frightened by the fireball in Chu Linfeng’s hand.

They left the room, and Chu Linfeng casually launched two more fireballs at the window and doorframes, igniting a fierce blaze, and they quickly ran out.

Screams echoed from the inn, which was reduced to ashes in less than five minutes, illustrating the potency of the fire.

Listening to the cries, Chu Linfeng remarked, somewhat apologetically, "I completely forgot there were other guests inside. Now they’re all dead because of me. I feel a bit guilty."

"It’s not like you haven’t killed plenty of people before. What’s a few more?" Meng Ji said indifferently.

"Let’s head straight to Weak Water. We rid the world of a plague, so there’s no need to feel sorry," Meng Ji suggested.

The inn was only a few hundred li from the Weak Water pass, rendering the Golden Demon Vulture unnecessary. Chu Linfeng took Meng Ji’s hand and said, "You take me there. I can’t fly well yet."

Without another word, Meng Ji took flight, and soon they arrived at the Weak Water pass. Guards stood watch through the night, and Chu Linfeng didn’t want to waste words with them, so he took out a pass token, and they entered.

From afar, they heard the sound of flowing water, but because it was dark, they didn’t venture too deeply. Chu Linfeng knew mountains flanked Weak Water, but the nature of the water remained a mystery until daylight.

Meng Ji found a stone to sit on, seemingly absorbing Star Power, and Chu Linfeng decided to stabilize his current strength level.

Come morning, when they ended their cultivation, they were shocked by their surroundings, consisting entirely of stone mountains and devoid of vegetation, a sight they had never seen before and found quite strange.

"Xuan’Er, do you think it has to do with Weak Water?" Chu Linfeng stood up and asked.

"Perhaps. I do sense an indescribable aura in the air. Weak Water is just ahead; let’s check it out. Maybe the aura comes from Weak Water," Meng Ji said.

Soon, they reached the banks of a river tens of meters wide; the water was pitch black, resembling ink, emitting a pungent odor.

"Is this Weak Water? Damn, it’s like this? Even if a Water Spirit Pearl was right in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to find it!" Chu Linfeng was dumbfounded.

Meng Ji found it strange as well, not expecting Weak Water to look like this. "Since we’re here, Lin Feng, shouldn’t you dive in and check? Maybe the Water Spirit Pearl emits light, like a beacon in the dark, easy to find."

Though her reasoning made sense, Chu Linfeng didn’t agree. The Mermaid King had dived down before, and if it were as simple as she said, they wouldn’t have returned empty-handed.

Staring at the menacing Weak Water River, Chu Linfeng said, "The water current here is strong. I need to find a calmer spot if I’m going underwater. It’s said Weak Water exerts significant pressure, making movement inside difficult."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ji remarked, "Then it’s more reason to dive here, using the flow to ease your movement."

"Alright, Xuan’Er, wait here. If anything happens, don’t come down. Weak Water’s nature is unpredictable, and the consequences would be dire!" Chu Linfeng cautioned.

"Okay, but be careful. If you can’t find anything, just give up. I believe there’s a Water Spirit Pearl somewhere in Canglan Ancient Land," Meng Ji encouraged.

Chu Linfeng nodded and, with a thought, the Golden Forest Treasure Robe on his chest emitted a dazzling light, forming a transparent light shield around him. After a glance at Meng Ji, he jumped into Weak Water...
