Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1501 – Please Start

Chapter 1501 – Please Start

The small rosy mouth pouted slightly. It could sense the unease Qin Yu was feeling, but it did not say much.

“What?”

Qin Yu replied, “I feel some changes in my body. Can you sense anything?” If he did not know what was wrong, it would be extremely difficult to solve the problem.

“Mmhm, I see it. You are in trouble.” Pausing, the mouth shook as if it was nodding, “Huge trouble.”

Qin Yu groaned and he did not look good. Although instinct had told him that things were not good, his mood worsened severely after the mysterious being confirmed it.

“I called on you hoping that you would help me solve this problem…” He paused for a while and gritted his teeth, “I am willing to pay a reasonable price for this.”

“Really?” The small mouth opened slightly, exposing uncontrolled glee. It was as if it had caught sight of a table of food.

Qin Yu tolerated his inner discomfort, “Of course!” He took a deep breath, “What do you want?”

“Half of your soul…”

Qin Yu frowned; even though he knew that he was playing with a lion, he was still taken aback.

Half of his soul…

If he handed it over, would he still be him? Even if he were still himself, he would not be able to make the decision to live or die! If this were the price, Qin Yu was willing to risk his life and try another way.

“I cannot agree to this. You can either change it or you can go back.” Qin Yu’s eyes were fixed on the mouth that was floating in front of him. He was showing how serious he was.

He did not notice it earlier but now that he looked closely, this small pretty mouth was looking shiny…as if it had been enjoying a delicious meal before Qin Yu summoned it.

Did this mysterious being need to eat? What was it eating; it looks delicious! Oh, I want to try!

Huh?

Qin Yu’s expression changed as he shook off all these thoughts and regained clarity. He took a step back and looked ahead. His eyes were cold.

“What did you do?”

It was obvious that Qin Yu was not in the mood to think of all this nonsense at a critical time like this. The fact that he did must be because he was being controlled by some other force.

And the only one with the power to do this so subtly was this thing in front of him.

Sensing the chill from Qin Yu, the small, upturned, and somewhat greasy mouth coughed lightly, “What did you say? I did not understand.”

This voice sounded extremely innocent.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu said lowly, “It was not a wise decision to call you; please return!”

“No, I just wanted to make a joke because you look so tense…sigh. It is just helping you get rid of the Barbarian Mark. I can do it within a few minutes. I will give you a friendship discount. I was just kidding about taking half of your soul.” It laughed awkwardly as it smacked its lips a few times, “A King realm soul. Is this sincere?”

It was obvious that it had decided on a new condition.

Qin Yu almost choked on his saliva. Although he had just killed the Barbarian King, he had turned into fluid the moment he died and there was no soul to be seen.

If Qin Yu had to look for a King realm soul or even kill a King…haha, it would be easier if he just cut off his own head.

King realm!

Do you think they are vegetables that can be cut easily?!

Qin Yu shook his head, “Impossible. Asking me to attack a King is like committing suicide.”

“Qin Yu! Don’t forget that you are asking me for help. This cannot, that cannot – don’t bank on the fact that I like you and keep pushing your luck. If it were another person? I would have left already and not waste any time here!” That being spoke indignantly, revealing neat and cute little white teeth.

Qin Yu shook his head, “Sorry, but I have to reject what I cannot do.”

“Fine! Then I will give you an easy one. The lantern you are holding looks beautiful. It’s just right; my palace needs a bright item like this. Give this lantern to me and I will help you!”

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. This was the true goal of the mysterious being.

Right from the start, it had been eyeing the lantern!

What it said about half of Qin Yu’s soul or a King realm soul….it must have already known that Qin Yu would reject its requests.

On the surface, it seemed like it had been repeatedly giving in. So when it brought out its true purpose, it seemed like Qin Yu had already gained a lot and he should not try to bargain further.

It was obvious that this lantern had some kind of link with the little blue lamp and was very important.

But at this moment, compared to his own safety, it was not impossible to give it up.

In addition, there was a more important reason for Qin Yu to make this decision. The little blue lamp was keeping silent.

If this lantern was really crucial, then the little blue lamp would have reacted. It should not be silent like this.

In reality, Qin Yu’s decision was a huge mistake, but this is something for the future and we will not bring it up here.

He glanced at the greasy little mouth on the opposite side, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Okay, I promise!"

Piak –

There was a soft sound as if someone was clapping gleefully. However, it quickly restrained its emotions as if realizing something.

“Since you have agreed, then hand the lantern over to me and I will help you immediately!”

Qin Yu reached out and grabbed. The lantern appeared in his hands and he pulled it to his body, shaking his head, “A normal transaction would be that you help me to deal with this trouble and then I hand the lantern over to you right? What if you can’t help me after I give it to you?”

“Haha! You don’t trust me!”

“We indeed need to interact more in order to build a stable and trusting relationship.”

He spoke in a roundabout manner, but it was obvious – you said it right!

The greasy little mouth bit down and said strictly, “Qin Yu, you just wait. One day you will regret treating me this way!”

Qin Yu was in no mood to argue, “Please proceed.”

The greasy mouth made a ‘hmph’ sound before disappearing and appearing closer to Qin Yu. They were only about one foot apart and he could smell a sweet and alluring scent.

This made him uncomfortable and he was about to back away subconsciously. But before he could move, it shouted, “Stop! Why are you moving. Can’t you see that I am checking you out?”

Qin Yu frowned as he nodded without saying anything.

The greasy little mouth moved closer and closer until it almost touched Qin Yu's face. It then moved behind him and he could feel a slightly warm breath behind his ears.

Time passed but there was still no response. Qin Yu frowned and said lowly, “Are you done?”

“What are you rushing for…Qin Yu, you have to remember that the most important thing for young people is to be patient! Especially now at such a critical time. The more important something is, the more careful you have to be and cannot make any mistake.” The greasy mouth spoke earnestly, full of teachings.

Qin Yu suddenly said, “How much longer do you have to look for? We can’t delay this for long. There are still people in the palace and who knows when they will come!”

“Don’t worry, they won’t come anytime soon; shut up and let me look.” Sensing the impatience in its voice, Qin Yu’s mood fell slightly.

It was not that he was worried about angering this mysterious being. Instead, he suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be…no no, it had seemed so confident. It must be capable!

After a moment, the warm breath finally left. Qin Yu took a deep breath, “How is it?”

“Qin Yu, I told you that young people must be patient!” The greasy mouth pouted, “Your issue is a bit troublesome. I have lost out in this transaction. But don’t worry, I will do what I promised you. However, this is slightly difficult and I need to prepare. Wait and I will be back very soon.”

The greasy mouth disappeared.

Seeing it disappear, Qin Yu could not help but frown. This might not go as smoothly as he wished. What was scarier was that he felt as if rescuing the Barbarian Clan was his life goal and he had to bear this responsibility!

Peh peh peh!

How can that be? Impossible. I only learned of the Barbarian Clan recently; how could I have such a bold and ignorant idea that’s like looking for death?

It must be the influence of the Barbarian Mark!

Qin Yu's face became more and more ugly. It had been such a short time and the problem was already huge.

If the Barbarian Mark remained in his body, it might subtly influence Qin Yu’s mood and cause him to change his mind to serve the Barbarian Clan willingly, becoming the great Barbarian King for the rest of his life!

Sss –

No, definitely not the future I want!

Qin Yu shook his head vigorously in order to maintain his consciousness in this vast palace. Time seemed to pass especially slowly.

Qin Yu could not help but worry. Just as he was wondering if the mysterious being had escaped after not being able to solve it, the palace started to vibrate.

Buzz –

Buzz –

It gave an impression as if a huge animal was trying to barge in.

The lantern in Qin Yu’s hand reacted and the flames glowed even brighter, swaying along. A powerful imprisoning force could be felt descending into the hall and was about to suppress it.

“Stop!”

Qin Yu growled.

The lantern suddenly hesitated. The flame turned calm and the energy in the palace disappeared.

As the vibration became more intense, a vague figure struggled to appear. The edges of the mysterious being’s figure broke and formed repeatedly, causing the entire appearance to look blurry and non-concrete.

It was a female. The mysterious being’s figure…was voluptuous!

Not only tall and slender, but also large, thin, rich, and round...tsk tsk, in short, it was perfect!

Unless one was blind, it was impossible not to know its gender!

“Hoo –”

“Hoo –”

Descending into the imperial capital required a lot of energy and caused it to pant while bent over. Hearing the sound, even though there was nothing happening, one could not help but start to daydream.

Qin Yu was as such!

Coughing lightly, he forced the thoughts out of his mind and said lowly, “You are finally back!”

He had to say something. If he just stared and heard its breaths, it felt unbearable.

He did not dare to continue staring!

“Nonsense! I am still panting, wait a while!” Rolling its eyes at Qin Yu, even though its figure was blurry like a fuzzy blanket, its eyes made all sorts of thoughts fly through Qin Yu’s mind.

He was going crazy!

Weren’t mysterious beings supposed to be horrifying creatures? Why did he meet a kind like this?

Was the script written wrongly?

He did not dare to look again and there was nothing else to say as it was still panting. It was only right that he allowed it some time to rest.

So Qin Yu merely lowered his head and stopped looking at it. He tried to think of any nonsensical thoughts to divert his attention – the reason for this was because its panting sounds were too unbearable!

Finally, she spoke, “Qin Yu, I've really lost out this time; you have to make it up to me!”

Qin Yu swore that he was trying his best not to think of nonsense, but hearing this made all sorts of thoughts start to run wild.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath, “Please start!”
