Chapter 882: Chapter 749: Bai Jinrou, Two Life Revivals

A year in prison had left Princess Jinrou looking very pale, her expression complex, like a listless sorrow, yet with a faint hint of excitement shining through.

The wet traces on her face clearly showed that she had just been crying bitterly, shedding tears for the father she could see and for the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon whose life had been taken instead of hers.

However, no matter how pitiful or beautiful the princess looked now, Chu Mu couldn’t tolerate what she had done!

Chu Mu stepped forward and grabbed Princess Jinrou’s frail shoulders, pulling her up from her kneeling position.

Princess Jinrou didn’t resist, and her eyes never dared to meet Chu Mu’s.

Chu Mu glared at her in anger. When she first entered the prison, Chu Mu felt sympathetic and even had thoughts of trying to break her out.

...

But what he never expected was that as a princess of Nightmare Demon Palace, Jinrou would actually join forces with the Soul Covenant and become a pawn for the defecting girl, seeking to destroy World City!

Chu Mu found it hard to believe that the woman in front of him was the same pure yet melancholic girl who once stood on the deck, making his heart skip a beat.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?!” Chu Mu questioned angrily!

Facing Chu Mu’s rage, Princess Jinrou kept her head down and, after a long while, replied in a very low voice, “If it were your father who was imprisoned here, what would you do?”

“I…” Chu Mu was suddenly stunned.

If Chu Tianmang were imprisoned here, could he really continue his path as a Soul Pet Master and forget his father completely?

“Your father has already become a half-demon. What you awakened is not your father, but the evil White Nightmare Demon. If you have any conscience left, find a way to stop its awakening immediately!” Chu Mu said sternly.

“The awakening is already complete. Once the Sky pointing Ice Stone melts, he will awaken. Moreover, even without me, the Female Sovereign would be able to wake him up,” said Princess Jinrou.

Mentioning the Female Sovereign, Chu Mu’s heart was filled with rage!

Suddenly, Chu Mu’s grip on Princess Jinrou’s shoulder changed to his right hand choking her throat!

Princess Jinrou didn’t stand a chance and immediately struggled to breathe, her hands constantly beating Chu Mu.

She couldn’t utter a word and could only look at Chu Mu’s angry face with eyes filled with pain and complexity.

Chu Mu’s chest was heaving. At this moment, he really wanted to summon a powerful demon flame from within his body to burn this woman to ashes.

But what good would killing her do now?

There was a large puddle of water around the Sky pointing Ice Stone, which meant that the Ice Stone had been melting all along. When the ice stone melted completely, it would be the moment for the Half-demon Bai Yu to awaken!

Finally, Chu Mu released his hand.

Princess Jinrou collapsed to the ground as if boneless, supporting her weak and delicate body with one hand, and coughing hard.

Although Chu Mu hadn’t used the demon flame, after the Jade Spring Holy Blood transformation, Chu Mu’s strength was much greater than a Soul Pet Master. If Chu Mu tightened his grip a little more, he might just snap Princess Jinrou’s delicate throat bone.

Princess Jinrou fell to the ground, coughing heavily. She looked at Chu Mu with a mixture of emotions and said, “Chu Mu, I’m sorry…”

“Apologize to me? I, Chu Mu, may not be a good person, but I would never do something that would provoke the wrath of humans and gods alike. Millions of people in World City, if they all die due to this catastrophe, even if you pay with the lives of every generation thereafter, it wouldn’t make up for it!” Chu Mu had never been so angry as he was today.

Chu Mu was not only angry at himself for not detecting the huge conspiracy of the defector girl sooner but was also angry at Jinrou’s foolishness!

Chu Mu’s scolding struck Princess Bai Jinrou as if she had been thunderstruck!

Perhaps, she had been so obsessed with saving her father that she really neglected the consequences that would follow if she failed!

“I… I just wanted to save my father. What I awakened… I awakened only his soul,” Bai Jinrou said as if she had lost her soul.

Chu Mu didn’t want to listen to her at all. He resolutely turned around, his eyes cold and determined as he stared at the Half-demon Bai Yu inside the Sky pointing Ice Stone!

If this most powerful half-demon were to awaken, then Chu Mu would have to resort to his last method!

That’s to fight demon with demon!!

Chu Mu knew that he might not be a match for Half-demon Bai Yu embodied, but Bai Yu the half-demon had been sealed away for so many years. In the initial moments of its awakening, it would definitely be in a weakened state. Perhaps he could strangle it here before it could leave the Sleeping World!

“Chu Mu, I… I’m not what you think I am…” Princess Jinrou slowly stood up, staring at Chu Mu’s back as she spoke, “I just wanted to awaken my father, and if my father’s soul can defeat the White Nightmare Demon’s soul, he would become human again, instead of turning into a demon.”

Upon hearing Princess Jinrou’s words, Chu Mu could not help but laugh, thinking that Princess Jinrou was too naive.

“Half-demons are not as simple as you imagine, you’ve been deceived by that woman.”

“I’ve painstakingly browsed through countless scriptures of the Nightmare Demon Palace and have drawn my own conclusion. And besides… besides… the woman you have a feud with is also half-human and half-pet. Yet she can have her own thoughts…” Bai Jinrou believed without a doubt.

Chu Mu turned back to look at Princess Jinrou’s incredibly obstinate and determined expression, then said: “Half-demons are far from being as simple as you think. Especially since your father has been suffering from spiritual torture here for over a decade, his spirit is on the verge of collapsing. Even if what you said is possible, that your father’s soul can overcome the White Nightmare Demon, it would still require a process. During this process, he would still be an emotionless half-demon that no one can stop!”

Chu Mu himself was a half-demon, so how could he be unaware of a half-demon’s nature!

Half-demons referred to the state of becoming the strongest devil while humans and White Nightmare Demons’ souls were struggling against each other. Becoming a demon is not scary, and neither is becoming a human. What’s truly frightening is the dual existence of a demon and a human.

Chu Mu didn’t know whether Princess Jinrou could actually make her father’s soul win against the White Nightmare Demon; however, a dozen years ago, the half-demon phase of the White Language Demon Emperor had not yet ended. During this time, the half-demon would still unleash its brutal and murderous nature. It wouldn’t be just about the lives of the people in World City, even the girl who’s been enduring it for over a dozen years to save herself might be burned to ashes with a single skill!

“Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a violent shaking came from below the ice peak, and even Chu Mu, who was standing on the 10,000-meter-high peak, could feel it.

Without exchanging more words with Bai Jinrou, Chu Mu hurriedly ran to the edge of the peak and looked down at the battle situation between Elder Liu and Ju Que.

Through the faintly visible icy aura, Chu Mu discovered that Elder Liu, riding the Misty Immortal Bird, was actually pale-faced and hovering at a height of about 5,000 meters!

Below Elder Liu, there was an ice demon with a body as large as a mountain range. It was this ice demon that caused turbulence in the Sleeping World!!

“Young Master, Ju Que’s strength is extraordinary. Elder Liu might not be able to hold on much longer.” Master Li said.

At this moment, Chu Mu was also feeling anxious and helpless, but even if he turned into a half-demon again, he would have to save it to deal with the weakened half-demon Bai Yu.

“Young Master, maybe the little princess was forced into this situation. The power of the defecting girl is too enormous, and the little princess has no real power in the Nightmare Demon Palace. It wouldn’t be too difficult for the defecting girl to control her. There are signs that the Sky-Pointing Ice Stone is melting, and the defecting girl seems to have acquired some power that can melt the ice in the Sleeping World. The little princess is probably being held hostage as a precaution. However, the princess tried to resurrect her father with her own life but seemingly failed, as the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon sacrificed its life in her stead.” Master Li spoke up for Bai Jinrou.

“I know, that’s why I didn’t kill her.” Chu Mu nodded.

If Bai Jinrou succeeded in awakening the half-demon Bai Yu, the half-demon Bai Yu inside the Ice Seal should have directly used his otherworldly power to shatter the Sky-Pointing Ice Stone instead of waiting for it to slowly melt.

Bai Jinrou didn’t lie; even without her, the defecting girl would have been able to awaken the half-demon Bai Yu.

This was also the reason why Chu Mu didn’t directly kill Bai Jinrou; she might just be trying to use the defecting girl’s scheme to save her father.

“Hmm, why does it smell like blood?” Chu Mu suddenly furrowed his brows.

Chu Mu turned around and was shocked to find that Princess Jinrou had somehow fallen under the Sky-Pointing Ice Stone!

Her hair was disheveled and scattered, her body lying on its side. Blood gushed from her right wrist like a spring, nearly dyeing her delicate body red!

“She… she attempted suicide…” Master Li screamed.

Chu Mu hurriedly ran to Bai Jinrou’s side, took out a healing potion from his space ring, and stuffed it into Princess Jinrou’s mouth, at the same time applying a hemostatic medicine to Princess Jinrou’s bleeding wrist.

However, the potions Chu Mu brought with him had no effect on Bai Jinrou’s loss of blood, as, for some unknown reason, there was some blood pattern protecting her injury.

This blood pattern continuously extracted Princess Jinrou’s life and blood, and following the chilling sight of the blood stains, slowly seeped into the Sky-Pointing Ice Stone!

“Princess, what… what are you doing!” Chu Mu didn’t expect Princess Jinrou to offer her life again after being saved by the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon. Staring at her pale, poignant face, Chu Mu felt his heart in chaos.

“With… with my two… two lives… maybe… maybe I can let… let my father defeat the White Nightmare Demon…” Bai Jinrou said.

“Is it worth it, when you clearly know you’ve failed…”

Bai Jinrou’s life was rapidly fading away. She leaned against Chu Mu with her eyes closed…

If Bai Jinrou succeeds, her father would have his own thoughts rather than being a murderous demon.

However, whether success or failure, watching Bai Jinrou use her life to resurrect her father’s autonomous soul for the second time, Chu Mu felt a tight knot in his throat, rendered speechless.

(This is the first chapter today. I was originally going to post two chapters in the evening, but Little Fish deleted the two chapters I wrote. Today is Wednesday, so there will be two updates, continuing with a second chapter later tonight. The second chapter will be posted at midnight.) (
