The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 459: The Octopus Monster’s Treasure

Listening nearby, Jiang Nuo had only one feeling: Is his son really this amazing, able to "deceive" others with such a straight face? Moreover, getting others to hand over their treasures willingly, isn’t this basically robbing them?

However, why did he feel that Mu Wanlian did well?

Could it be because he gets a share of the spoils?

Finally, the two demons and one human settled on a price. The octopus monster was prepared to take Jiang Nuo and Mu Wanlian to its cave mansion to fetch something. Only by retrieving the item could it be officially accepted as a "son" and receive the Transformation Pill.

Perhaps the octopus monster was too eager to transform, as it seemed completely devoid of any caution.

Before entering the water, Mu Wanlian even mentioned that Jiang Nuo, being human, wouldn’t be able to breathe once submerged. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Jiang Nuo was puzzled: doesn’t he have magic artifacts?

Before he could speak, he saw the octopus monster say something to Mu Wanlian, then take out an object resembling a crystal ball.

"Really? As long as you recite the spell, this Water-Repelling Ball will enlarge and cover a person’s body, thus achieving the water-repelling effect?" Mu Wanlian held it in her hand, seeming a bit skeptical.

["It’s true! I saw humans use it before, though that human was killed by someone else, and the Water-Repelling Ball fell into the water, where I picked it up. I really like this thing, so I carry it with me often."]

Mu Wanlian handed it to Jiang Nuo and relayed the mantra given by the octopus monster to him before diving into the sea.

Jiang Nuo’s reaction to receiving the Water-Repelling Ball: haven’t even given the Transformation Pill yet, and already starting to deceive others for their belongings?

Although he wasn’t sure if the Water-Repelling Ball had other effects, Jiang Nuo found it quite useful, thinking he could bring his wife for an underwater tour next time.

With this item, Jiang Nuo moved as if walking on firm ground at the sea bottom, not only breathing effortlessly but also navigating with incredible ease, akin to a fish swimming through water.

Landed on the sea floor, he could walk around.

The underwater scenery was especially beautiful, consisting of colorful coral reefs and various small fish swimming around.

The beauty surpassed even the most stunning underwater documentary he had ever seen.

The place where the octopus monster lived was somewhat deep, and they walked a long stretch on the ocean floor before reaching their destination.

To Jiang Nuo’s surprise, the octopus monster’s residence was actually a sea-view palace?!

Although it was an abandoned palace.

It was reminiscent of the legendary abandoned mysterious underwater cities in Western mythology, with streets, houses, and palaces, all faint shadows of their past selves.

The octopus monster was in the largest of these palaces, and with a flip of a tentacle on a slab, dust from the water rose, revealing a massive underground passage.

Jiang Nuo observed this, secretly wary.

Lest in pursuit of treasure, they are instead schemed against by the octopus monster, rendering it all meaningless.

Mu Wanlian seemed unfazed, following the octopus monster right in.

Jiang Nuo followed suit.

The underground passage, unsurprisingly, was quite spacious, accommodating the massive body of the octopus monster, not to mention Jiang Nuo and Mu Wanlian.

Carvings of Western mythological gods adorned the walls around the passage, from Zeus to Venus, Apollo to Cupid, with mythic figures familiar to Jiang Nuo manifesting one by one.

This massive underground palace was extremely luxurious and majestic, a sight to behold.

Especially the end of the passage, showcasing a gigantic palace, towering more than ten meters with a domed ceiling.

On top, various mythological figures gathered. Despite the passage of time, its colors remained remarkably vivid.

Jiang Nuo faintly felt spiritual energy fluctuations throughout this room.

Indeed, when the octopus monster pushed open a door with a tentacle, countless treasures of gold and silver spilled out, scattered all over the floor.

The octopus monster said something to Mu Wanlian, but Mu Wanlian shook her head, "He’s not interested in this kind of stuff, bring out your real treasure."

["How did you know he’s not interested? Don’t all humans like this?"] the octopus monster wondered.

Mu Wanlian helplessly replied, "He’s not an ordinary human, he’s from the Cultivation World; people there only like treasures with spiritual energy."

["Treasures with spiritual energy?"] The octopus monster was reluctant, but having promised already, what choice did it have?

Especially since it needs to give away one-third, making its little heart ache intolerably.

["Can’t we give a little less? One-third is really too much."]

"Or, you can choose not to transform."

Not transform?

How could that work?

From the octopus monster’s inherited knowledge, it knew that any demon capable of cultivation must undergo a transformation; if it couldn’t even transform, how could it ever cultivate to immortality?

Although it didn’t quite understand why it needed to cultivate into an immortal when it was reigning dominantly over the ocean just fine.

The octopus monster, with a mournful face, lamented: ["You’re so bad! I don’t want to consider you my boss anymore."]

Despite its words, it obediently opened another door.

Once this door was opened, a rush of intense spiritual energy struck akin to the time Jiang Nuo accompanied Mu Qiuniang to a spirit vein her master left behind for her.

There are good things in here!

Jiang Nuo’s eyes instantly lit up: "Can I go in and select things now?"

He certainly intended to choose a few items his wife would like, to gift her as presents.

She would surely be delighted!

The octopus monster almost couldn’t bear to look, holding its hands over its eyes, nodding vigorously, shrieking: ["Hurry up, or else I’ll change my mind."]

Mu Wanlian, seeing it forcibly suppressing its reluctance with a pitiful expression, found it somewhat amusing: "Once you transform, what treasures can’t you find? Alright, don’t be sad, out with the old and in with the new."

["Easy for you to say when it’s not your stuff."] Even the octopus monster’s voice became feeble.

Entering the room, Jiang Nuo felt as though he had arrived at a treasure mountain, with all sorts of random goodies present.

Everything from ancient women’s magic artifact camisoles, hairpins, bracelets.

Night jars for nighttime use, wine cups for drinking, weapons for battle, and various decorations in the room.

Yet, none of these caught Jiang Nuo’s attention; what captivated him entirely was an item—a palm-sized black box, adorned with golden rune carvings and sealed with an extremely intricate rune.

Jiang Nuo studied it for a long time, unable to recognize the rune. But he knew that what was sealed inside must be a treasure—a treasure both dangerous and thrilling!

His entire blood boiled, clamoring: Open it! Open it, open it!

Jiang Nuo activated the Defensive Barrier in his Space Ring and reached out, attempting to tear off the talisman paper.

Curiously though, what seemed to be an ordinary piece of paper could not be torn off, regardless of how much force he applied.
