The Charm of Soul Pets

In the boundless deep blue ocean sat a towering snow white island.

From the island extended beautiful corals. Like snow, they lay on top of the ocean. It was beautiful and enchanting.

When Chu Mu and Ning Maner flew in the air, they hid within the thick rain clouds.

As they passed through the rain clouds, Chu Mu saw many strange ocean monsters climbing on the island. The irregular flowing water currents indicated that there were many more water type creatures hiding underwater.

“Big brother, the Heaven Boundary monument is on White Island.” Ning Maner pointed at the island.

It was a towering monument that reached the layer of clouds. Chu Mu could even see a few familiar ancient words inscribed on the top.

Unfortunately, that aerial area was firmly under the control of the Calamity Ocean Demons. Chu Mu didn’t dare to brashly approach it.

“How are we going to break our way in?” softly asked Ning Maner.

“Their defensive measures in the ocean are very tight, but their land and aerial measures are very average,” said Chu Mu.

While he spoke, a few black granules dispersed following his hand wave.

These black granules dispersed through the air and slowly expanded into black clouds.

This transformation wasn’t fast and looked like they had formed naturally. The black clouds slowly began to cover the sky from the distance as the wind blew.

Not long after, a thick set of black clouds covered the area, throwing the ocean region into darkness.

“Let’s sneak in.” once Chu Mu created enough shadows, he planned on entering the island.

Ning Maner nodded her head. She pressed her soft body against Chu Mu and wrapped her arms around his neck as she showed a cute smile.

Both inside and outside White Island were defensive and patrolling Calamity Ocean Demons. Therefore, sneaking in would be difficult. Nonetheless, the more difficult it was, the more interesting it became. Ning Maner liked these exciting games.

Chu Mu picked up Ning Maner and when he stepped forward, he and Ning Maner’s bodies slowly melded together with the shadows.

“Retract your aura.” Chu Mu instructed Ning Maner.

“En.” Ning Maner nodded her head.

As they traversed under the black clouds, they slowly neared the island full of white corals.

Not even ten meters above Chu Mu and Ning Maner were two creatures with large golden fins that were using them as wings to hover to the side.

They had a pair of protruding and large eyes that meticulously examined their surroundings.

Ning Maner stared with wide eyes. While Chu Mu used the concealing ability, she carefully examined the two adjacent creatures using their fins as wings.

Suddenly, one of them turned their eyes and stared at Ning Maner’s location.

Ning Maner happened to be looking at it so when it suddenly turned its head, it gave her a fright.

She hastily covered her mouth, and didn’t even dare breathe.

Alarming these two finned creatures wasn’t a big deal in itself. However, there were three or four thousand of these monsters in the sky. If they alarmed all of them, Chu Mu would be in trouble.

“Lu lu~~~~”

That finned creature let out an unpleasant sound and turned its head with a blank face.

It hadn’t discovered that five meters away from it in the shadows were two human silhouettes closely stuck together. By the time it turned its head, the silhouettes had slowly moved ahead.

These finned monsters were scattered nearby White Island. A number of them were very strong. Thus, passing through the three or four thousand patrolling ocean monsters wasn’t an easy task.

“Lu lu lu~~~~~ Lu lu lu lu~~~~~”

Suddenly, these finned monsters let out strange cries.

Chu Mu thought he had been caught and was planning on leaving with a spurt of energy. However, these finned monsters weren’t rushing towards his location. Instead, they formed a defensive formation.

The defensive formation gave Chu Mu a headache because on all four sides of them were now finned monsters. At this distance, Chu Mu only had to take a single step and he would be discovered.

Standing still in the shadows had far greater concealing effects than moving in the shadows. Unfortunately, Chu Mu was stuck in the middle right now and he didn’t dare move.

“Big brother, what are we going to do?” softly asked Ning Maner.

There was still a spatial barrier around Chu Mu that could prevent noise from escaping. Thus, soft communication wouldn’t have a great effect.

“If I use spatial jump, spatial ripples will appear and they will definitely detect an invader… we can probably only just wait for them to return to a patrolling formation. Our luck is really bad. We’re stuck in this formation.” said Chu Mu.

“Yes, but from seeing big brother’s nervous expression just now, things should be fun.” Ning Maner laughed.

“What fun is there to be had? These finned monsters aren’t very strong. What’s strong are those things on the island. If we’re surrounded, it’ll be very dangerous.” said Chu Mu.

Water types countered fire types and there was an ocean under them. Although fighting here wasn’t as restricting as fighting on the ocean floor, it would still be difficult for him to fully utilize his devil flames power. There were many ocean demons on White Island and they were extremely strong. They were probably the elite troops of the Ocean Calamity Demon.

Ning Maner slowly turned her head and discovered that there really were a lot of finned ocean monsters around them. She refused to talk in too loud of a volume.

This state lasted a long time. The finned monsters didn’t change formation. Being stopped in this formation gave Chu Mu a headache and his hand that was holding Ning Maner was beginning to ache.

“Lu lu lu~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a finned ocean monster walked over to them. Its body that was full of scales wasn’t even two meters from Chu Mu and Ning Maner!

Ning Maner jumped in fright and hastily grabbed tightly onto Chu Mu.

The finned monster’s body was sticky and spiky. It looked very malevolent and terrifying. Initially, Ning Maner didn’t think anything of it, but when it got close, Ning Maner couldn’t help but feel scared. She didn’t want to let this disgusting creature to touch her.

Fortunately, the finned monster walked only a few steps and stopped. Like a statue, it just stood there.

Ning Maner let out a sigh of relief. The fragrant breath landed on Chu Mu’s cheek. Ning Maner’s own cheek was very close to Chu Mu’s handsome nose as well as his lips.

When she was training with Chu Mu, Ning Maner would sleep in the same tent as Chu Mu. Although the tent was very spacious, there were a few times when she slept where she accidentally ended up rolling into his arms. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was his face.

Chu Mu was often expressionless, and this was the same when he slept. Nonetheless, for some reason, his stoic and determined face had some unique charm to it.

This time, now that she was so close, Ning Maner could feel the unique charm of Chu Mu’s face as well as his black, abstruse and attractive eyes.

When Ning Maner looked at Chu Mu’s eyes, for some reason she wanted to get even closer and deeper into those eyes. Thus, she broke the small remaining distance between them. First, she lightly touched Chu Mu’s handsome nose with her small jade nose before she faintly raised her small pink lips and lightly placed them on the corner of Chu Mu’s lips.

Her lips were warm, sweet, smooth and extremely alluring.

Chu Mu was stunned. Before he could even react, someone had stolen a kiss from him!

After Ning Maner brazenly kissed Chu Mu, she seemed to have woken up from her trance and she immediately blushed.

When she found that Chu Mu’s black eyes were staring at her, she grew even more embarrassed and her ears went red. She refused to look at Chu Mu in the eyes.

“I… I only wanted to kiss your face.” Ning Maner was so embarrassed she almost couldn’t say it.

Ning Maner was a rather affectionate person. Added on the soul pact relation with her, the intimacy between them was inherently built from the soul. Therefore, even if there was nothing to do, Ning Maner liked hugged onto Chu Mu’s neck and licked it when Chu Mu hugged her. On the one hand, the soul pact caused them to appear inherently intimate and on the other hand, after experiencing all those things together, Ning Maner really did feel a sense of security from Chu Mu as well as a form of dependence on him…

However, even if they were close, this didn’t mean she could just kiss his mouth.

Chu Mu himself also felt baffled. Previously at his wedding, Mu Qingyi had suddenly kissed him. He treated it like it had never happened…

This time, Ning Maner had also suddenly kissed him on the same spot. This kiss had made Chu Mu’s mind go blank, and for a long while he didn’t know what to say.

This made Chu Mu think of the moment he entered the ocean when Ning Maner’s curvy and attractive body was like a small beautiful mermaid as she swam around him. Ning Maner’s physical appeal had been fully exhibited and it made Chu Mu’s shameless face go red when he watched her.

When he realized that he was actually hugging an enchanting and sexy woman right now and that his mouth still injured with the taste of a kiss, Chu Mu felt his heart rate speed up…

Chu Mu didn’t like water, but right now he hoped for a bucket of water to be thrown on him so that the fantasies in his mind could be extinguished.

Ning Maner ostensibly felt Chu Mu’s breathing speed up as well as his hot breath. For a moment, her heart began to chaotically beat like a small deer.

In the past, she had stayed next to Chu Mu very casually. Ning Maner had never considered there to be any problem. It was only a feeling of pure fondness. However, the feeling right now was clearly not that simple. It felt as if she wouldn’t dare look at Chu Mu’s eyes anymore. In a panic, she wanted to free herself from Chu Mu’s embrace and run somewhere to hide…

“Lu lu lu~~~~~ Lu lu lu~~~~”

Finally, the finned monsters changed their formation.

When Chu Mu saw this, he returned from his shock and hastily held Ning Maner tightly. He passed through the finned monsters and flew straight to White Island.

……

When they landed on White Island, Chu Mu’s heart had calmed down slightly.

Ning Maner’s face was still blushing and it took a while before she said: “Big brother, I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Don’t be like this in the future,” admonished Chu Mu. He treated it like it never happened.

“Oh.” Ning Maner responded. She was still thinking about the incident.

But she felt puzzled. Why had she kissed him? Shouldn’t it be the man kissing her?
