Chapter 423: Peeping
Editor: Chlocolatte
Mountains, streams, grass, trees, birds and flowers- these were all present in the world that Ling Chen saw.
Xiao Hui led the way with Ling Chen walking behind him, who was constantly marvelling at the scenery around him. No one would imagine that in the arctic region of the northernmost East Ocean Continent there would be such a beautiful place. Many beautiful flowers covered the ground, and there were also trees and grasses everywhere, as well as colourful butterflies flying in the air. He would also occasionally see rabbits bouncing around, which would always run in fright when they saw him.
Ling Chen couldn’t help but inwardly sigh- this Moon God Representative really knew how to enjoy herself.
The Central District was surprisingly big. After walking for 15 minutes and going around a small mountain, a breathtakingly beautiful world appeared in front of his eyes... this place was filled with flowers of different colours, shapes and sizes. Within this sea of flowers, there was a large, two storey house. It was 30 metres wide, and seemed to be constructed out of wood. The house was quite grand, and although it didn’t look extremely elegant, it had an air of luxury simply from existing in this dream-like world.
Information from Xiao Hui appeared in Ling Chen’s mind.
Cherry Blossom God Palace!
That was where the Cherry Blossom God Representative resided!
A half-metre-wide path started at where Ling Chen was standing and passed through the sea of flowers, extending to the house’s front door. If Ling Chen walked on this path, he would reach the most powerful existence in the East Ocean Continent- the Cherry Blossom God Representative.
“Qi Yue, would these Moon God Representative recognise the Lunar Scourge’s power?” Ling Chen asked as he walked.
“No,” Qi Yue replied, “The Moon God Representatives’ power was given to them by the Moon Gods. Unless they had extremely high talent, their lifespans would be far shorter than that of the Moon Gods’. The Moon God Representatives from back then who saw the Lunar Scourge have probably all passed away. More than 10,000 years have passed, and the Lunar Scourge has long since been forgotten, and neither has the Moon God Clan brought it up. As such, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Moon God Representatives didn’t even know the name ‘Lunar Scourge’, much less recognise its power.”
“Alright, then I can be at ease.”
Ling Chen let out a breath in relief. If he really ran into the Cherry Blossom God Representative, he would definitely be chased out, or even killed. He wasn’t so naïve as to think that he could defeat a Moon God Representative. However, with the Feng Chen Sect’s escape skills and the Lunar Scourge’s abilities, as well as the Libra Orb, he would have no problem in keeping himself alive. What he was worried about was that using the Lunar Scourge’s power could expose it, and bring him great trouble. However, it turned out that this would not be an issue.
“Xiao Hui, let me know in advance if you detect anything.”
It was still Xiao Hui walking in front and Ling Chen walking behind him, and he started to walk slower. Ling Chen trusted Xiao Hui’s insane detection abilities. If they were discovered by the Cherry Blossom God Representative, Xiao Hui would immediately let him know.
Xiao Hui also walked slower, and soon, they had reached the Cherry Blossom God Palace’s front door. The door was wide open, and inside was a large hall, without a soul inside.
Ling Chen silently tiptoed in, feeling suspicious. This was where the Cherry Blossom God Representative resided, the holiest place in East Ocean Continent, and yet he was able to enter so casually... of course, perhaps the Cherry Blossom God Representative was extremely confident in her Great Sun Celestial Cherry Formation, and believed that no one could pass through, and even if they did, she would detect them.
Or could it be that she was not here today?
Suddenly Ling Chen faintly heard something- it was the sound of water flowing. This wasn’t the sound of water naturally flowing through a stream, but rather... water being scooped up and falling back down.
This sound came from the back of the Cherry Blossom God Palace.
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and slowed his breathing, making his body enter its calmest state as he motioned for Xiao Hui to keep quiet. At this moment, Xiao Hui’s horn suddenly started to glow. Xiao Hui’s eyes lit up and waved his paw towards Ling Chen as he ran towards a room towards the right. Because his body was so small and light, he didn’t make any noise at all when running. Ling Chen immediately followed him. He could almost certainly confirm that the Cherry Blossom God Representative was at the back. However, she had completely let her guard down, and did not detect his presence. Another reason was that his control over his body was simply monstrous- when he was fully controlling his aura, he wouldn’t disturb even a speck of dust, nor would he make even a bit of noise.
Ling Chen soundlessly entered the room to his right. The entire time, still hearing the sound of water flowing and splashing. This room was quite small, and seemed like it wasn’t entered into very often. There was nothing inside except three items on the windowsill, which looked like they had been there for a long time. They were- a scroll, a white belt and a normal-looking fist-sized rock that was covered with a white light.
Xiao Hui stopped under the windowsill. Evidently, these three things were the treasures that Xiao Hui had detected!
Every treasure that was detected by Xiao Hui was not ordinary. Ling Chen immediately went over and looked at their stats.
[Flying Scroll]: Usage Requirements: None. After usage, any skill that has not reached max level will permanently gain 1 level.
[Belt of Blessing]: Type: Belt, Grade: Celestial, Equipment Requirements: Luck greater than 5. A belt that has been blessed by the Goddess of Order. After wrapping it around one’s waist, a player can receive the blessing from the Goddess of Order. Stats: Luck+5, immune to Critical Hits and Pierce Hits.
[Spatial Stone]: A stone that contains mysterious spatial energy. It is usually naturally created in regions in which the seven elements are perfectly balanced, making it very rare. It tends to irregularly move around after being formed, and can move anywhere. Using special methods, one can extract the spatial energy from within the Spatial Stone and create special items. However, the forging requirements are extremely high, requiring the forging technique to be at least that of the Heaven’s End grade. People who can use the Spatial Stone to forge items are incredibly rare. Coincidentally obtained by the Cherry Blossom God Representative and sealed with the Moon Gods’ power to prevent it from escaping.
A scroll that could increase the level of a skill by 1- the Flying Scroll!!
And this rock was a Spatial Stone!
And that belt... was actually a Celestial grade Belt! A Belt!! Belts were so rare that even though Ling Chen had Heaven’s End grade and Celestial grade equipment, this was the first time he had seen a Belt. They were just as rare and valuable as Masks! Moreover, this Belt’s stats were amazing; not only did it give an astounding +5 to Luck, but he would never have to worry about being hit by Critical Hits or Pierce Hits!
Every single one of these three things were absolute treasures, and they were right in front of Ling Chen, without any protection. If Ling Chen didn’t take them... there would be something wrong with his brain. He walked forwards and unhesitatingly put all three items into his bag.
No matter what else happened today, just obtaining those three items made everything worth it.
After putting away the 3 treasures, Xiao Hui’s horn continued to glow. Evidently, there was other treasure around him.
Was there anything more wonderful than obtaining priceless treasures without having to pay any price at all? Seeing Xiao Hui run off again, Ling Chen didn’t even think as he joyfully followed behind him. Of course, he didn’t forget to completely hide his presence.
Ling Chen followed Xiao Hui through a fairly short corridor, and stood in front of an opened door. This seemed to be a bedroom, with curtains made of hanging crystals and a luxurious-looking bed. After exiting the bedroom from its back door, Ling Chen entered yet another corridor, which extended to the back of the house... following behind Xiao Hui, Ling Chen could hear the sound of water becoming louder and louder, clearer and clearer.
This sound... it couldn’t be...
Very soon, they reached the end of the corridor. Xiao Hui stopped walking and stood as he stared forwards. Ling Chen walked over incredibly carefully, and stood behind Xiao Hui. This was the very back of the house; on the other side of the wall should be the backyard. Ling Chen held his breath and stretched his head forwards until it reached the screen window, and he peered outside.
He immediately saw a small, rippling, lake surrounded by thousands of flowers... at the side of the lake was a slender and beautiful figure...
Ling Chen’s pupils constricted...
That was... the Cherry Blossom God Representative.
No! That wasn’t the important point. What was even more important...
Was that this goddess-like woman was taking off her clothes!
Her small and delicate feet skipped into the water, looking like a pure girl playing in the water. Her jadelike hands undid the belt around her waist, then took off her cherry-coloured long skirt, revealing her long and slender legs. She now only had 1 piece of clothing covering her. Her cherry-coloured undergarments simply couldn’t hide her curvaceous body. Ling Chen’s eyes widened as his body heated up.
This situation... could it be...
The woman didn’t notice that she was being peeped on, and she lightly walked deeper into the water. She then turned around, facing in Ling Chen’s direction. Ling Chen was in a daze, and didn’t hide himself, and instead just stared... white as snow- that was a term commonly used to describe women who were beautifully white. However, this phrase was true for this woman’s skill. Her skin was so white that it had a sense of purity. Her slender and long legs, as well as that narrow and supple waist was enough to make anyone’s blood boil over.
Every inch of her skin could make a person burn with passion, especially her beautiful breasts. They were incredibly full, yet perky and firm, and were almost bursting out of her undergarments. She did not notice Ling Chen, and with her eyes slightly closed, she began to undo the strings tying together the undergarment. A flash of white shone at Ling Chen, then bounced as the 2 pink gems on them also trembled, causing Ling Chen’s eyes to widen even further
The undergarment slowly slid off as the woman slowly submerged into the water. There were many flower petals in the water, giving off a sweet fragrance, and the pleasant warmth of the water caused her to give a faint moan of pleasure.
Ling Chen had actually never peeped on a woman before... before today, of course.
It wouldn’t really matter if she was just a random stranger... however, she was the East Ocean Continent’s Moon God Representative- the renowned Cherry Blossom God Representative!
No matter who she was, the gentlemanly Ling Chen wouldn’t continue to peep like this... no, instead, he activated his camera function...
