193: peep

Luo Chen had probed his consciousness into his Beast Master's bracelet to check, and normally it should have been about a hundred meters long.

When the mission was issued, it stated that the life or death of the Starry Night Vine didn't matter, but it was clear that this Starry Night Vine was alive, and it didn't seem to have suffered any obvious damage.

Although it was a Wild Beast and possessed Earth Rank Skills, overall, it was a mediocre Beast Master.

Luo Chen brought the Starry Night Vine, this Beast Master, into his shop's exclusive Stone Spirit Secret Realm.

Once there, Luo Chen confidently released it, watching it greedily absorb the Starlight from the surrounding environment.

However, what made Luo Chen a little strange was that although this Starry Night Vine didn't seem stupid, it was clearly the kind that couldn't communicate with a Beast Master.

Logically speaking, even if a Wild Rank Beast Master couldn't speak, it should be able to communicate with a Beast Master using spiritual power, but this Starry Night Vine in front of him seemed foolish and completely incapable of communication.

“Don't waste your effort, this Beast Master has been placed under a restriction; someone's spirit is watching you through it,” the System's faint voice suddenly rang in Luo Chen's mind.

What? Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat.

A person-height Moonrise Time Wheel appeared behind him, and one of the two outermost crescent-shaped wheels left Luo Chen's back, transforming into a swift light and shadow, traversing the distance of space to press against the body of the Starry Night Vine.

As long as Luo Chen gave the order, it would mercilessly cut the Starry Night Vine in half.

However, Luo Chen did not give the order; he cautiously stared at the Starry Night Vine and said in a serious tone:

“What is your purpose, why are you secretly peeking?”

However, long after Luo Chen's words fell, there was no special movement from the Starry Night Vine.

Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he quietly asked the System in his heart, “System, are you sure there's really someone?”

“Hmm, this old sly fox is still pretending. Under that fresh leaf on the far left, there's a rune mark.”

Luo Chen controlled the Moon Wheel, cutting off the slender leaf the System mentioned from the Starry Night Vine's body.

The Starlight from the Starry Night Vine's leaf left its body and then converged into a light and shadow whose true form could not be discerned; this light and shadow could only vaguely be seen as a human shape, but was it male or female? Or old or young? These could not be seen at all.

A voice, whose gender was indistinguishable, revealed a hint of surprise, “How did you discover me?”

As he/she spoke, he/she also surveyed the environment in the Stone Spirit Secret Realm, “This Secret Realm looks good, such rich Starlight energy.”

Luo Chen's face was very grim; he said with a livid expression, “Are you Qimeng, who submitted the mission? This kind of sneaky behavior is a bit too perverted, isn't it?”

Listening to Luo Chen's almost insulting words, the blurry light and shadow seemed completely unconcerned; he/she suddenly moved closer to Luo Chen's direction.

Luo Chen's mind stirred, and the Moon Wheel, which had been hovering near the Starry Night Vine, swiftly attacked the mysterious light and shadow.

However, this attack did not land; it seemed as if the light and shadow and the Moonrise Time Wheel were not in the same space, or perhaps it was just a pure projection that could be immune to this Type of contact attack.

While asking the System in his mind for a way to deal with this mysterious light and shadow, Luo Chen coldly asked, “May I ask, what brings you here uninvited?”

“Oh, so now we can finally have a proper talk?”

From this sentence, Luo Chen could sense the surprise in the light and shadow's tone.

“Since you can come into my Secret Realm, and I have no way to deal with your light and shadow, then I can only have a good talk.”

“Haha, good, good. You kid, you're to my taste.”

Old man? From his words, Luo Chen felt that he sounded somewhat like an old man with a bad temper.

“So?”

“I am very interested in the Evolution Path of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit. I wonder if you would sell it? spirit coins? Beast Masters? Or some rare materials, just name your price, and I will try my best to satisfy you.”

So it was for this?

Luo Chen crossed his arms, adopting a condescending attitude, “I don't like your petty methods when it comes to trading items.”

“So, no—sale—”

The light and shadow twisted, “Do you know who I am? And you won't sell it. If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll be begging to sell it to me.”

“Who are you? Just someone who hides his head and shows his tail.”

Luo Chen unconsciously shook his head, looking disdainful of the light and shadow's actions.

“I, I am the dignified…” Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to remember something and stopped speaking.

“Hehe, you kid, trying to trick me into talking? No way. If you don't trade, I'll just keep following you. You can't just guard a treasure mountain without using it, can you?”

The subtext of this scoundrel was that he was certain that as long as he stayed by Luo Chen's side, and as long as Luo Chen still wanted to realize the value of the treasure mountain that was the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, he would eventually see the Evolution Path.

It seemed that this light and shadow knew from the beginning that Luo Chen would never trade the Evolution Path of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, which was why he adopted this peeping method.

How disgusting, Luo Chen could only say that this was the most disgusting person he had ever met, in his previous life and this one.

Luo Chen looked at the blurry light and shadow, then suddenly smiled and shouted, “Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow, come over.”

As his words fell, the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow left a brilliant seven-colored light in the air, appearing swiftly by Luo Chen's side.

It looked at Luo Chen somewhat cautiously, thinking to itself, could it be that its previous act of being a green tea had been exposed?

“Shop Manager, is there anything?”

Luo Chen pointed at the light and shadow in mid-air, then said with a beaming smile, “Scold him.”

Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow: ???

Seeing the disbelief in the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's eyes, Luo Chen repeated himself.

“You heard right, just scold him. Use the nastiest words you can think of to scold him. If you scold him fiercely, I'll reward you with a leaf of phoenix blood grass.”

Upon hearing about the phoenix blood grass leaf, the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's eyes widened, and its voice unconsciously became rougher.

“Shop Manager, are you serious?”

“When have I ever lied to you? Here.” A leaf appeared in Luo Chen's hand, which he dangled in front of the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow; its aura and texture were clearly those of a phoenix blood grass leaf.

With the tangible incentive, the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow looked at the light and shadow as if it had been injected with chicken blood.

“Shop Manager, anything you say is fine. But you can't silence me halfway through.”

Luo Chen pinched his chin and promised, “Absolutely no silencing, go all out.”

The Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow flapped its wings, slowly leveling itself with the light and shadow, then looked it up and down with a very disdainful gaze.

“Where did you pop out from? How can you have no face and no skin?

Others are born of heaven and earth without parents, but how is it that the more I look at you, the more you seem like you were abandoned halfway through creation, without parents?”

Luo Chen's eyes were a little strange; how could this Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow be so civilized in its scolding now? This roundabout way didn't seem like its style.

However, the light and shadow clearly understood, and its tone became somewhat exasperated, “You stupid bird, shut your stinking mouth.”

Seeing that the light and shadow reacted, the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow became even more excited.

“Stupid turtle, your, dog, you are a rat in the shadows, a born, species…”

This was the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's style, after all. Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction, clearly, that light mass was a pure spiritual consciousness and should not be able to block its ear canals like Luo Chen, thereby isolating the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow's insults.

Even though the System had already given Luo Chen a way to dispel this light and shadow, Luo Chen was not in a hurry to implement it.

Instead, he leaned against a Starlight Stone Spirit with interest, watching the light and shadow constantly twist and deform. Although he couldn't hear what the Rainbow Spirit King Sparrow was scolding.

But now he felt a sense of relief, one word: satisfying.

Indeed, this kind of disgusting thing still needed to be treated with a nasty attitude.
