Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 367 - 378: Purple Demon Thunder Fox Breaks Through

After returning to the shore, Chu Linfeng felt incredibly emotional. He never expected that this trip to the Weak Water would not only yield the Water Spirit Pearl but also the Sunlit Pearl and the Mineral Heart. This could only mean that his luck was extraordinarily good, or perhaps it was destined in the grand scheme of things.

If he had used the Fire Transformation to kill the Black Gold King initially, perhaps it would have fled, and naturally, he wouldn’t have entered the cave, nor would he have obtained the things he desired. Even Xiaoying received significant benefits from this.

Looking at the Weak Water River beneath his feet, Chu Linfeng flashed a faint smile and then turned his gaze to the distance. At this moment, someone was anxiously waiting for him, and that person was naturally Meng Ji.

He unfolded his form and sped rapidly along the riverbank. It wasn’t that Chu Linfeng didn’t want to fly in the sky, but he simply wasn’t skilled enough at the moment. His flying speed was not as fast as his Shift Form and Shadow Technique, and with the speed boost from the Golden Demon Vulture inside him, he moved incredibly fast.

The ten-mile journey was something Chu Linfeng covered effortlessly. He had already disarmed the Light Shield of the Golden Scale Treasure Robe; the wind whistled in his ears, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Soon, he saw Meng Ji’s figure. Meng Ji was currently floating in the air, watching the movements in the Weak Water. Chu Linfeng’s appearance was naturally not something she could miss, and she flew over immediately.

Seeing that Chu Linfeng was safe and sound, Meng Ji finally relaxed. Before she could speak, Chu Linfeng said, "Xuan’Er, sorry to have worried you!"

"It’s nothing, as long as you’re fine! Did you get the Water Spirit Pearl?" Meng Ji asked, though from Chu Linfeng’s expression, she already knew that he had most likely obtained it.

"I fulfilled my mission; I got the Water Spirit Pearl. I didn’t expect there to be a Metallic Magical Beast in the Weak Water. Its strength was formidable, including a King whose power was not beneath yours," Chu Linfeng said.

Meng Ji looked at Chu Linfeng, full of astonishment, and asked, "How did you get the Water Spirit Pearl, and how did you escape from him?"

Chu Linfeng then recounted to Meng Ji how he sparred with the Black Gold King, and how he tricked him into exchanging for the Water Spirit Pearl. However, he didn’t mention obtaining the Ore Crystal and Sun Shining Stone.

After listening, Meng Ji was also extremely surprised. She never imagined that Chu Linfeng had such a sly side.

"Let’s go back, Ouyang Qian, Yuwen Qingkong, and the others must be very anxious waiting for us. After we return, I need to go into seclusion for some time. Once my strength improves again, we will look for the entrance to the Canglan Ancient Land," Chu Linfeng said.

Immediately, the Golden Demon Vulture appeared in front of them. Having a Flying Magical Beast as transportation was indeed convenient. By midnight, Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji had returned to the Mermaid Kingdom’s Imperial City.

After entering the Imperial Palace, Ouyang Qian and the others were already asleep. Meng Ji and Chu Linfeng returned to their respective rooms since their relationship hadn’t progressed to the point where they could sleep together.

When Chu Linfeng entered the room, he saw Ouyang Qian sleeping at the table. Such a situation was rare for someone in the Divine Martial Realm like her. The only explanation was that she was overly worried about him, having not slept for several days, which resulted in this phenomenon.

He then gently took a piece of clothing from the bed and placed it lightly over her. Though his movements were gentle, it still woke Ouyang Qian.

"Who?" Chu Linfeng stood behind her, naturally unseen, and promptly spoke.

But when she saw the man she thought about day and night, she was suddenly so surprised that she couldn’t speak.

It took a few seconds before Ouyang Qian said, "Lin Feng, you’re back?" Her hands were still rubbing her eyes, thinking she might be seeing things.

"Qian’er, I’m back. In just a few days apart, you seem to have lost weight," Chu Linfeng immediately pulled her into his arms and said.

Leaning into the arms of her beloved man, Ouyang Qian felt incredibly warm. The longing and worry of several days instantly vanished.

"Of course, I missed you, always thinking about you. After you left, I heard from Father that there’s a powerful Magical Beast in the Weak Water. I was extremely worried after hearing that. I’m so relieved that you returned safely. Did you get the Water Spirit Pearl?" Ouyang Qian asked softly.

"I got it. Without your Golden Scale Treasure Robe, I wouldn’t have been able to get it. Your contribution was significant!" Chu Linfeng said, taking off the Golden Scale Treasure Robe from his neck and putting it on Ouyang Qian.

"Why don’t you keep it? I’m no longer affected by the Ultimate Yin Poison inside me; the Golden Scale Treasure Robe isn’t very useful to me now," Ouyang Qian said.

"Only when you wear the Golden Scale Treasure Robe does it truly suit you, showcasing your unparalleled beauty," Chu Linfeng said tenderly.

"You’re always so glib!" Ouyang Qian replied.

"We’ll talk about it later. Have a good sleep. Tomorrow, I’m planning to go into seclusion for a while. Let my father and mother know," Chu Linfeng said as he got up and left.

"Lin Feng, where are you going now?" Ouyang Qian asked.

"I’m going to check on Xiao Xiao, to see how she’s doing," Chu Linfeng said, wanting to see if the Purple Demon Thunder Fox, after absorbing the energy from the Inner Core, had broken through.

When he opened the door, he saw the Purple Demon Thunder Fox still sitting on the bed, quietly absorbing energy. The Fiery Fire Spider Inner Core in her hand was gone, clearly fully absorbed. She was merely circulating the energy within.

Just as Chu Linfeng was about to leave, the Purple Demon Thunder Fox spoke, "Brother, since you’re here, why leave again?"

Chu Linfeng smiled and said, "I thought you were still cultivating, so I didn’t want to disturb you. How do you feel now?"

The Purple Demon Thunder Fox immediately came down from the bed and approached Chu Linfeng, "Brother, I have broken through and successfully grown my fifth tail. Do you notice any difference?"

After saying this, she spun around in front of Chu Linfeng. He noticed that the Purple Demon Thunder Fox looked even more beautiful, exuding a dreamlike and surreal aura, making him want to draw her into his embrace.

"What is it?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"My Charm Art has improved by another level. You must be careful; otherwise, don’t blame me if I enchant you!" said the Purple Demon Thunder Fox.

Hearing this, Chu Linfeng felt the black lines on his forehead climbing uncontrollably toward the top of his head...
