Chapter 357: Chapter 291: Revenge from Ten Thousand Years Later!
Shen Ye crept along the deserted staircase toward the southwest direction.
“Soone is coming,” the Underworld Lord warned.
“Hmm.”
He casually released a piece of frost, and as it reflected Shen Ye’s form—
he imdiately initiated “Existence in Mirror” and hid within it.
The ice crystal lted into droplets, falling onto the crimson velvet carpet.
As expected, two knights appeared around the corner.
They were dressed in shiny Battle Armor, with swords hanging at their waists, walking past the staircase where Shen Ye was.
After they were gone,
Shen Ye dissolved “Existence in Mirror,” reappearing on the steps.
He continued on his way.
For so reason… there was an indescribable strangeness to the feeling.
If Lord Nine Phases were such a powerful monster—
“There are guards on the terrace ahead, there really are a lot of guards here,” the voice of the Underworld Lord rang out.
Shen Ye’s thoughts kept flashing as he continued forward.
The terrace was just ahead.
The lodious sound of the flute suddenly filled with a sense of murderous intent.
“Karula is warning you, don’t get any closer—perhaps Lord Nine Phases is right beside her,” the Earth Mother said.
Shen Ye stopped in his tracks.
If Lord Nine Phases was with Centaur Carola, then rescuing her would definitely be impossible for him.
So, wait for later?
Later… when would that be?
“Retreat, this mont is not favorable,” the Underworld Lord also said.
“…the longer we wait, the more variables will arise, I don’t want to drag this out any more… Lord Nine Phases must not get hold of the Jade Terrace,”
Shen Ye responded in his mind.
He walked straight up the stairs to the terrace.
The two guards turned simultaneously, spotting him.
“Halt, don’t move!”
“Who are you!”
They both shouted at the sa ti.
“Notify the Marchioness, I’ve co to find her, my na is Baxter,” Shen Ye said.
One of the guards raised his spear, pointing at him, and questioned:
“You, an infiltrator—”
A voice arose from afar, drowning out the guard:
“It’s all right, he’s an old acquaintance of mine—bring him to see .”
It was a woman’s voice!
Was it the Marchioness?
The two guards imdiately sheathed their weapons, giving Shen Ye a complex glance.
“Please follow us.”
“Thank you.”
Shen Ye followed them through several rooms, along a lengthy corridor, all the way to the castle’s bar.
Only two people were there.
Centaur Carola had taken on an Elf form, playing the flute.
A woman with platinum blonde hair stood behind the bar, holding a drink in her hand, enjoying the flute music.
The two guards saluted and then withdrew.
“Baxter, what would you like to drink?” the woman asked.
“Juice, thank you. Are you the Marchioness Charlotte?” Shen Ye asked.
The woman laughed.
“There are several of us—those who deal with you daily are responsible for replenishing body energy, that’s Fernando, and I am the fighter really in charge of combat, my na is Charlotte.”
As she explained, the floor of the entire bar, the ceiling, and the walls all started to show the distorted forms of snakelike bodies.
On the black snake scales, images of human heads erged then quickly vanished.
All the heads of Lord Nine Phases congealed into this terrifying snake-bodied Dharma Aspect!
“My lord, it’s you!”
Shen Ye exclaid, astonished.
The Marchioness Charlotte—or rather, the Nine Phases who had changed personalities—spoke:
“Baxter, let’s leave the introductions at that. Did you co to seek clues about the Earth Mother for Mo Ga Ru?”
Shen Ye shook his head: “Not exactly.”
“Then I truly do not know what reason you have for so boldly intruding into my domain,” a hint of murderous intent crept into Charlotte’s expression.
“My lord, what shall I say?”
Shen Ye lowered his head and then raised it again, looking aside with a nervous and uneasy deanor, “I feel—that I truly don’t want to serve Mo Ga Ru.”
Charlotte paused.
“Yes, Lord Nine Phases,” Shen Ye continued, “I will always rember how you helped kill a Frost Dragon. But following Mo Ga Ru, he never gave any reward.”
“—I was just a beast of burden.”
“Not only that, he is extrely suspicious; even when I et with my girlfriend, he sends soone to check in. My lord, I can hardly stand it anymore.”
“I couldn’t help but co to find you.”
Shen Ye said all this in one breath.
The murderous aura around Charlotte had dissipated.
—A trusted subordinate of her own, even after being sold out, had run back to her.
It naturally carried a special sense of achievent that was indescribable.
“But, I have taken three Ancient Corpses… it wouldn’t be good to go back on my word, Baxter,”
Charlotte mused.
“Ancient Corpses are nothing, my lord, I will fetch you three—no, six! You can give the Ancient Corpses back to Mo Ga Ru and take back, alright?” Shen Ye said.
“By the way, I have sothing to ask you,” Charlotte seed to ponder another matter.
“Please, my lord.”
“Did you find out what exactly is in the depths of the Jin Enjia Gorge in Hell?” Charlotte asked.
Shen Ye imdiately said: “Oh, that matter, yes, I have found out, it’s another Hell, filled with Divine Spirits.”
“Really?”
“Guaranteed genuine.”
The flute music softened.
Carola, with her head bowed, simply played her flute, oblivious to what was happening on the other side of the bar.
Charlotte tilted her head, thinking for a while, then stretched out her hand to place a glass of juice on the bar, sliding it towards Shen Ye.
“Baxter, you are indeed very effective in your work, but Mo Ga Ru may not let you go.”
“My lord!”
Shen Ye leaned in close to Charlotte, lowering his voice: “I have not divulged to Mo Ga Ru until now that all the Baxters are actually .”
“—The secret of my identity is only known to you now.”
Listening to his display of loyalty, Charlotte rembered the legends in Hell about the several brothers nad Baxter and couldn’t help but laugh.
It was too comical.
Yet, such a comical matter—
