Chapter 127: The First Music of Neon Finery
"Master."
The Jade Pool Immortal Leader respectfully said, her voice still sweet.
Yet her aura was now more captivating, every move seemed like the most perfect creation in the world.
Su Muyu watched as the Jade Pool Robe, which had disappeared for a moment, reappeared in this form.
This was after she witnessed Shen Fei use his Talent to alter the Summoned Beast.
"From now on, we’ll call you Jade Pool."
"As my lord commands." Jade Pool nodded, then paid homage to Su Muyu, "Mistress."
She bowed slightly like a servant from a feudal society, prompting Su Muyu to quickly wave her hand, "Just call me Muyu, and there’s no need for such formality."
Why does Brother Shen Fei have a Summoned Beast from a feudal society, bowing upon meeting?
Unlike the Empress and others before, who also called her mistress but did not bow.
"Courtesy must not be abandoned."
Jade Pool shook her head, her expression serious.
"Alright then." Seeing this, Su Muyu could only nod and look at Shen Fei, saying, "By the way, I just remembered, wasn’t Battalion Commander Liu saying the demon hunt was tomorrow, why did you say it was five days later?"
"A stalling tactic, and it’s not tomorrow. It’s today!"
Shen Fei glanced at the message Liu Wentao sent him this morning via the Breaking Abyss Army’s special communication method, indicating that the Breaking Abyss Army had already embarked to the marked location earlier today.
This time, not only Shencheng City but also Tang City, Lu City, and Qing City were mobilizing their Breaking Abyss Army.
The focus is on capturing.
"Should we set off now?"
"No hurry, the Empress is much faster than them because this marked location is likely an important base, or even the headquarters, of the demons in the Nanyue District."
"It’s at the core of the Abyss Edge, and today’s main goal is to lay a siege net to prevent any stragglers from escaping."
Shen Fei explained, and Su Muyu nodded.
Her admiration for Shen Fei rose again, as at their age, others were focused on clearing dungeons and leveling up, while Shen Fei was already engaging in the conflict between Wu Xia and demons.
"Once this is handled, we can head to Imperial University without worry."
Shen Fei exhaled, which was why he felt the need to personally go once.
After all, Shencheng City is his home, and also Su Muyu’s home, with demons lurking nearby.
If they move to Imperial Capital, any incident arising would hinder immediate return.
Regardless of the conflict between Su Muyu and Uncle Su.
They are, after all, her family.
He must resolve this trouble for them.
"Okay."
Su Muyu nodded.
...
After breakfast, Su Muyu went to the dungeon to further refine her combat techniques, realizing that if she didn’t strive harder, she might not keep up with Shen Fei in the future.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei stayed home today.
He handled the Epic Item obtained from the Thousand-Eyed Giant Worm, an eye.
[Eye Worm Re-Pupil (Epic): Special Accessory; greatly enhances Spiritual Power upon wearing, with the following Skills:
① Piercing: Passive Skill; upgrades Reconnaissance Skills by one Tier, providing more detailed reconnaissance information.
② Light of Destruction: Active Skill; upon activation, inflicts massive Spiritual Damage on the target.
③ Eye Demon Body: Passive Skill; upon receiving Deadly damage, this equipment enters a 24-hour unusable state to avoid Deadly damage, and a shield that can ignore massive damage appears on the body.
Usage Requirement: First Transformation and above]
Shen Fei naturally equipped it immediately, realizing that the equipment also had a Substitute Death feature.
It seems Substitute Death is becoming a crucial means of survival.
As the Professionals and Abyssal Creatures grow stronger with higher damage and Skills, getting instantly killed becomes a real threat, necessitating the Substitute Death Skill to engage in battle.
After handling the Epic Equipment.
Shen Fei went on a major shopping spree.
This included purchasing Summoned Beast Equipment, Summoning Skill Books, various Plague Doctor poisons, diverse Healing Skills, and various Flames needed by the Empress.
And his unwanted Summoning Spirit Magic Staff.
Shen Fei pondered, considering selling it through Su’s Trading Company.
Given the desire to capture Tang City’s market, possessing some ace-up-the-sleeve items was essential.
This Equipment is practically a Divine Artifact for Summoners in the early stages.
And true Summoners are usually affluent players, likely willing to pay a high price, boosting the reputation of Su’s Trading Company.
As for who interacted with Shen Fei, it was a familiar figure to him.
The first time he went to Su’s Trading Company, he met Su Yun, who came to pick up the Equipment.
He didn’t expect that the young man he once met.
Is now a son-in-law of their Su Family.
"Cousin." Shen Fei said with a smile.
"You’re too kind."
This Su Yun is the eldest son of Su Lin, and thus the oldest of this generation in the Su Family, yet not having awakened a Combat Profession, he was appointed to mainly manage Su’s Trading Company.
After handling these matters, Shen Fei felt he had nothing to do.
He spent his time watching various Summoner battle videos and explanations in the living room.
Until evening, when Su Muyu returned, exhausted, but upon seeing the meal Shen Fei prepared, she smiled and said, "Thank you, darling."
"No trouble at all."
...
The next day.
Shen Fei and Su Muyu soared across the sky on Five-Colored Divine Light, heading straight for the center of the siege circle established by the Breaking Abyss Army.
Before long.
The Empress spoke, "There’s combat ahead, with many people and the special monsters we encountered after getting off the train before."
"A Beast Tide?"
Shen Fei remembered that demons indeed have the means to mobilize Beast Tides, or rather, during past Abyssal sieges, many utilized Beast Tides as the vanguard, serving as expendables.
To deplete the Professionals’ Skills and various supplies.
"Jade Pool, it’s time for your performance!"
Shen Fei looked at Jade Pool beside him, wagering to see the extent of her enhancements now, and the amplification after loading three entries.
"Then, let my master and mistress indulge in my zither music."
The Jade Pool Immortal Leader did not decline, smiling as she spoke.
With that, the Jade Pool Immortal Leader gently stepped forward, an Ancient Zither gradually appeared before her.
Her dress swayed lightly with her steps, like ripples on a water surface, or petals caressed by a spring breeze, exuding an indescribable grace.
She gently touched the zither strings, and in that instant, time seemed to freeze.
Her fingertips seemed imbued with magic, barely a pluck.
In the next moment.
The music of the heavens resounded, echoing across the entire sky.
[Celestial Sound Zither] activated, and at once, countless luminous raindrops appeared in the sky, pouring down in a deluge.
Simultaneously, innumerable formations flickered in the sky, further expanding the range of this light rain, and in this instant, a divine miracle descended!
