The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 415-416: Protected By Divine Blood; Leaving the Kingdom of Sand

415: Body Protected by Divine Blood

The middle-aged uncle was shocked that Feng Wu blocked his attack with one hand. Although he knew she was strong based on what he saw earlier, he didn’t expect her to be so powerful. His own school’s sword art couldn’t even touch her. If word got out, it was doubtful anyone would even believe it.

“Get out of the way! We’ll all die once the czar completes his takeover of that boy’s body!” The middle-aged uncle was frantic. He could feel how much more chaotic Ming Xi’s aura was becoming. Would they have a way out if they waited until the czar completed his takeover?

“No, Senior Ming Xi will be fine. The czar can’t take him.” Feng Wu had complete confidence in Ming Xi.

It was a pity no one else did as well. Even Zi Cheng didn’t dare speak out loud her belief that Ming Xi would be taken over by the czar. She was protecting him now because they were both students at Xingguang Holy academy, and everyone there knew it. On top of that, Ming Xi was her senior, so she was obligated to protect him. If she didn’t do so, and the matter spread at school, her popularity would be affected, and without her popularity how would she raise her favorability?

Her image couldn’t be destroyed so she had to stand with Ming Xi. At the very least, she couldn’t make a move against him until it was clear he was taken over.

On the other hand, Caesar was acting based solely on the fact that Zi Cheng and Ming Xi were students at the same school, and that Ming Xi was her senior.

Feng Wu didn’t care about their motives; she was only interested in protecting Ming Xi. This middle-aged uncle wanted to hurt Ming Xi. How could she back down?

“You have the soft heart of a woman. When the czar completes the takeover, you won’t have a place to go crying to.” The middle-aged uncle was so angry he nearly screamed in her face. The girl refused to listen and he didn’t know what to say to get through to her. Her Senior Ming Xi wasn’t going to make it. He didn’t know where her confidence in her senior came from. After all, the other party was the czar, a person thousands of years old. Did she think the czar was just some no-name passerby?

“Senior Ming Xi will be fine!”

The middle-aged uncle was speechless at the sentence. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t best Feng Wu, he would have rushed over and ended Ming Xi with a slash of his sword already.

He wanted to rush over, but there were only a few people on his side. Most chose to protect the beautiful boy who was in the process of being possessed by the czar. His small numbers wouldn’t be able to defeat their much bigger force. All he could do was stare blankly at them.

He had switched from brute strength to fighting with logic, in the hopes that Feng Wu and the rest would come around and see reason. But unfortunately, in the face of her determination, his words were absolutely useless.

Suddenly Ming Xi opened his eyes. When he did so, a gold stream, that was both beautiful and strange, flashed from his eyes.

LeChen reached out to pull Feng Wu away from Ming Xi. He couldn’t know for sure if the boy was still the same boy or if he had been overtaken by the czar. Feng Wu was a bit of a silly girl. He didn’t want to see her be killed by the czar.

Too bad Feng Wu didn’t get his intentions. She threw his hand off her sleeve and rushed into Ming Xi’s arms.

“Senior Ming Xi!” Feng Wu’s heart, which had been beating nervously, was finally at ease once Ming Xi woke up.

“I already said he’d be fine.” Rui Baby telepathically spoke to Feng Wu.

Feng Wu had no time to pay attention to the rui; she was entirely focused on Ming Xi.

“I made you worry, but I’m fine now.” Ming Xi lightly touched Feng Wu on the head while speaking gently.

“Are you really Ming Xi?” the middle-aged uncle asked while still holding a firm grip on his sword.

No one was sure either and they had stepped back by at least three meters, resulting in a big open space around Ming Xi and Feng Wu.

Ming Xi smiled helplessly at everyone. “I am the real Ming Xi. I have not been overtaken.”

“How is that possible? The czar clearly entered your spiritual sea, but you claim he did not manage to possess you? You think we’ll believe that?” The young man from earlier spoke up with a clear look of disbelief on his face.

It wasn’t just the middle-aged uncle and his group, even the people who had chosen to protect Ming Xi were hesitant to believe he had truly escaped the czar.

After all, who was the czar? Only the person who dominated the desert for over ten thousand years. How strong was that kind of person’s spiritual power? They couldn’t even imagine. Was it really possible for someone like that to fail at possessing another?The answer was an obvious no! josei

Therefore, Ming Xi’s statement was suspect.

Instead of believing Ming Xi had defeated the czar, everyone chose to believe he was possessed. It was possible the czar was weakened from the fight to possess Ming Xi, so he was stalling for time in order to recuperate and escape any possible fighting.

Yes! That had to be the case.

Ming Xi would have been dumbfounded had be been aware of their logic. He had almost been possessed, were it not for the fact that the czar missed a crucial point – Ming Xi had divine blood.

How could he, a person with a body protected by divine blood, be subdued by a half-demon, half-human entity?

In order to prevent the czar from noticing the abnormality in his spiritual sea, Ming Xi had pretended to run away so that the czar would be kept busy.

He hoped the power of his blood would eventually absorb the czar’s consciousness if he stalled long enough. . .  and it did.

He wasn’t sure how powerful he would become once his spiritual sea completely assimilated the czar’s consciousness, but his powers would definitely be raised to new heights.

The protection of his divine blood was not something he could share with strangers. Rui Baby had shared it with Feng Wu in order to allay her worries, so she knew, but it wasn’t something Ming Xi would have voluntarily shared.

“My spiritual sea is a little special. The czar can’t possess me.”

“I’m not going to believe it just because you said it.” The young man voiced his distrust.

Zi Cheng had also been doubtful, but the system had assured her that the person standing before them now was the real Ming Xi.

The system rarely helped her voluntarily; she normally had to use points to buy things like items and information. But in this instance, it actually was very quick in helping.

416: Leaving the Kingdom of Sand

Everyone else was looking at Ming Xi suspiciously. They weren’t sure if it was really him standing in front of them or the czar trying to fool them. Fortunately the king’s spirit and his attendants appeared, and they were able to confirm Ming Xi was truly Ming Xi.

This was a relief to everyone.

“So now that the czar is dead, does that mean the curse is lifted?” LeChen thought out loud.

“The curse was placed by the czar, and now that he is dead, the curse will naturally disappear,” affirmed the king.

The king sighed sadly at the death of the czar. He had originally followed Feng Wu in order to release the spirits of the other kings; he had not expected things to end as they did, so naturally, he was sad.

Meanwhile, in the city below the moon, the shackles holding the spirits there released. Their bodies, once duplicates of one another, finally reverted back to their true forms. They cried in excitement.

“We’re changed back! We’re changed back!”

“The czar is dead at last! We’re free!”

“Finally! I had waited so long for this day!”

“What. . . ”

“Ah!”

The spirits cried and shouted in happiness; they hadn’t felt so light and relaxed in such a long time. They could be reborn now that the curse entangling them was lifted.

The spirits bowed to Feng Wu and the others on the moon in thanks before disappearing into the world one by one. None of them had been interested in staying in the ancient desert city filled with so many painful memories.

The sea god wasn’t the one binding their souls to the tomb; it was the czar’s consciousness. He had, in fact, resolved the methods used by the sea god long ago. Thus, the spirits were free to leave once the czar’s curse was lifted.

Small Jade was among the spirit bodies. She, like the others, had regained her original appearance as well. If the middle-aged uncle and the rest were there, they would have recognized her as one of their team members, and one of the first missing from the group.

The others missing from the group were there as well.

“Let’s leave, leave and be reincarnated.” A young man next to Small Jade suggested. He was from the same group and had also returned to his original appearance.

“I don’t know what happened to them.” She muttered to herself.

Their group was the first to enter the ancient city, but they were unfortunate and died under the hands of the spirits. All they knew was, when they opened their eyes, they were already dead. They had no idea how they died.

The world they saw after dying was completely different from the one they saw while alive. They were surrounded by the same souls with the same faces.

It was a terrifying world, but the most terrifying was yet to come. Small Jade was favored by the czar, and asked to convince Ming Xi and the others to go to the red moon. He had promised to let them leave after restoring the bodies of her and her group members if she succeeded.

The czar had made them inhuman and they were on the verge of a mental breakdown. His promise was like a life raft.

Though Small Jade felt sorry for Ming Xi’s group, she still went ahead and agreed to the deal. She soon regretted it, but there was nothing she could do because spirits like her couldn’t enter the moon.

She couldn’t stop them and could only watch as they fell into the czar’s trap.

Fortunately, nothing happened to them, so she didn’t feel as guilty.

“They will be fine.” An old man sighed.

He had been mentally prepared to not make it out even before entering the tomb, he just didn’t expect his last moments to end the way they did. The only good thing was that he wouldn’t be the czar’s slave and be forever trapped in the city.

Having the opportunity to reincarnate was already pretty good.

Their eyes were complicated as the group looked up at the red moon. Eventually they turned into a ray of light and flew to the sky.

Feng Wu and the others knew nothing of this.

The palace had no owner once the czar died. The middle-aged uncle and everyone else began rummaging through the palace looking for treasures. In the end, they found some good magical tools, but all the really valuable items had already been put away by the king and his attendants.

The most valuable of which was the Blood Sacrifice technique.

Zi Cheng was very interested in it. She didn’t intend to practice it; she had planned on selling it to her system for points. The amount she could trade for the technique would have been tremendous, so of course she didn’t want to let the opportunity go.

The group searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

Zi Cheng suspected the technique wasn’t recorded on anything physical, but was most likely memorized by the czar. Since Ming Xi defeated the czar’s consciousness, it stood to reason, Ming Xi knew it as well.

Zi Cheng was disappointed. There was no way she could get it, because even if she asked Ming Xi, he would never tell her.

Feng Wu took the opportunity, while everyone was searching for treasures, to have Xiao Chun clear away the air in the blood moon.

Xiao Chun was ecstatic. As soon as he heard there was food to be eaten, he flew out immediately. Once his purification began, the buildings on the red moon began to collapse and the ground shook like it was being torn apart.

At this point, a black transfer point appeared and people began to immediately jump in.

After Xiao Chun returned to Feng Wu’s dantian, Ming Xi grabbed Feng Wu’s hand, and together they jumped into the transfer point.

The Kingdom of Sand sealed off completely once the red moon disappeared.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and before long, ten days had passed since Ming Xi and the others entered the tomb.

Jier, Ink, and Leo, the three guys who

stayed behind and acted as fathers, every day, either played with Little Bun or hung out at the stern of the boat fishing.

They couldn’t leave if they wanted to. It was a boring life, and all they did was chat.

The people waiting on nearby boats were facing the same struggle.

Jier would never have expected, that in the course of waiting for Ming Xi and the others, he ended up, by default, waiting for Oleen, Milty, and Yanran as well.

Milty, uncaring of the trouble it would cause everyone, had run off with the boat Ming Xi chartered, in order to save Oleen.
