118: Chapter 118 Devouring and Creation
Peppa didn't mince words. "Why all this pointless chatter? You'll find out once we go in."
"Alright! But is it really okay to just go in like this? Feels a bit sneaky, like a thief." Mu Cheng said, looking at the tightly shut door.
Peppa was utterly speechless. "What on earth is going on in that head of yours? Can't you think properly?"
Such a simple matter... if there's a door, just ring the bell, right? How complicated could it be?
"Oh right, let's see if there's a doorbell or something." Mu Cheng suddenly remembered.
Sure enough, this was indeed Dragon Country, but this mansion was very close to reality, with all the necessary facilities outside the door.
Mu Cheng didn't hesitate either, directly pressing the intercom... waiting patiently with an uneasy heart.
Fortunately, there was finally movement inside.
"Come in!" A woman's voice was heard, and the mansion's main door suddenly slid open.
"This... it really is human." Mu Cheng was stunned, looking at the mansion's facilities.
At this moment, it was already certain that the queen of Dragon Country was indeed human.
At this time, Peppa was unusually quiet, not saying another word...
Coupled with the fact that in the vast hall, there wasn't a single person in sight, the atmosphere instantly became strange.
"Is... anyone there?" Mu Cheng swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably scared for some reason.
After all that... it was still eerily quiet, not a single person in sight.
"Hey, you, say something! There was clearly someone just now. Could I have misheard? No... someone must be here." Mu Cheng also began to doubt his own senses.
It was impossible to have misheard; otherwise, how would that door... have suddenly opened?
Peppa remained very quiet... looking listless, lying on Mu Cheng's shoulder.
Although its eyes were open, there was no movement at all, and it still didn't say a word.
Right at that moment, suddenly, the surrounding objects began to float... as if haunted by ghosts.
"Could it be... ghosts?" Mu Cheng was thoroughly frightened, trembling all over.
The only thought in his mind now was to run... but as soon as he turned around, the main door suddenly slammed shut out of nowhere.
Boom—!
"Oh my god, ghosts!" Mu Cheng finally lost his composure and began trying to force the door open.
So scared... he completely forgot he wasn't an ordinary person and lost his cool.
Right then, a woman in white floated over, her long black hair covering her entire face.
And her feet weren't touching the ground, like a ghost...
"Wait, hold on... so what if there are ghosts?" Mu Cheng finally snapped out of it.
Peppa finally spoke up. "I really don't get you, getting scared like that."
"You little... did you know about this beforehand?" Mu Cheng was so angry he almost beat Peppa up.
"No fun, really no fun." The woman in white suddenly became very serious.
The surrounding objects returned to normal, except she herself was still floating, her hair still covering her face.
"I say, big sis, dear sister... you are, after all, the ruler of a country. Could you not be like this?" Mu Cheng was speechless.
The woman in white floated right up to Mu Cheng, getting extremely close, almost touching him.
"Like what? This is how I normally am, okay? Or do you want me to be some other way?"
Peppa: "Aunt Yuehua? Damn... it really is you. I thought it was someone else."
"You Little Piglet, never mind... let's talk business first!" The woman in white, Lin Yuehua, suddenly became very serious.
In the blink of an eye, she was already sitting on the sofa in the hall, though sitting made no difference as she wasn't really sitting.
Looking closely, she was still floating.
"What's going on here?" Mu Cheng was completely baffled.
Peppa opened up to explain. "The Lin Family are born with divine power, so don't make a fuss."
"Alright, alright, let's talk business first." Lin Yuehua spoke again, getting straight to the point.
"Help me with one thing, to be precise, a small favor. This dragon essence blood will be yours."
"Just say the word, sister. As long as I can do it, I'd go through fire and water without hesitation."
Mu Cheng's flattery was on point, really slick...
Lin Yuehua didn't waste words either, taking out five divine weapons and floating them beside Mu Cheng.
"My dear younger brother lacks a weapon. Also, the small favor is that I need an identity, which can be considered a promise from my Lin Family."
"This... you want me to forge the Divine Demon Five Elements Sword?" Mu Cheng asked slowly.
One thought makes it a divine weapon, another can make it a demonic weapon. For Mu Cheng, it was indeed a piece of cake, but for others, it was simply impossible.
"Demon God Five Elements Sword... it seems the Lin Family is planning to make a move. The identity is easy; just use his." Peppa said, sounding rather grave.
"Fine, I'll start forging right away." Mu Cheng didn't waste words and immediately began the forging process.
Actually, it was the simplest thing, only requiring his Devouring Bloodline...
In less than five minutes, Mu Cheng forged the Demon God Five Elements Sword.
"This dragon essence blood is yours. As for the Demon God Five Elements Sword, give it to that girl Qingyan." After saying this, Lin Yuehua left behind a Teleportation Talisman Array... and instantly vanished.
The dragon essence blood looked only about the size of a fist, but one could clearly see an endless flow of blood energy within.
"Take it and head back first!" Peppa offered no explanation and didn't waste another word.
"Mhm, mhm, we'll talk after we get back!" Mu Cheng had no desire to stay here any longer. After storing the dragon essence blood and the Demon God Five Elements Sword,
he directly stepped into the Teleportation Talisman Array and instantly arrived at the City Lord's Manor.
"Pfft~ Wasn't that a bit too smooth?" Even Mu Cheng himself found it hard to believe it was real.
This whole trip went too smoothly, completely like a vacation.
Peppa put on an indifferent look and said, "Or what did you expect? Go do what you need to do, don't dwell on these pointless things."
"Also, to devour the dragon essence blood, you still need the water of life... since we're here, might as well ask around."
Just as Mu Cheng was about to enter, suddenly, Tao Mumu sent a message.
"Brother Cheng, you're finally back. Quick, check the hero board rankings."
"This... could it be the Lin Family? But that's way too overpowered, isn't it?" Mu Cheng stared dumbfounded, instantly stunned.
In such a short time, he had mysteriously gained a full sixty thousand points, ranking second.
Peppa still looked very calm. "Strange? Every member of the Lin Family is born with divine power. And you should have guessed what kind of existence the person using your identity is."
"Seems it's the Creation Bloodline." Mu Cheng, of course, understood perfectly well.
Where there is creation, there is devouring. His Devouring Bloodline can control the Power of Creation, so naturally...
the possessor of the Creation Bloodline can also use the power of devouring.
Peppa: "One thought makes a divine weapon, another makes a demonic weapon. It seems the Lin Family has produced a fine young man."
"Pfft~ Let's focus on the main task first! Also, the Lin Family are born with divine power. Even without a possessor of the Creation Bloodline... wouldn't it still not matter much?" Mu Cheng didn't overthink it and walked into the City Lord's Manor.
