CHAPTER 687 SHUIXIA’S SCREAM
“Don’t you worry. Once you help me capture Chen Hao, I will have complete power to travel between
the Border Realm and the real world. By then, boosting the Gu Family to become the most powerful
and influential family in the Border Realm would be a piece of cake! Besides, you know my background
well, don’t you? Haha, back then when Chen Hao accidentally let me out, that was a gift from God for
me being sealed for ten thousand years! Haha!”
Suddenly, a black beam appeared on top of the piece of jade.
The black beam spiralled in the air for a moment before it turned to a shadow of a human form.
One could vaguely see that the shadow was a shadow of a young man with dashing eyebrows and a
hooked nose; every once in a while one would even catch an evil flicker in his eyes.
Who would have thought that even though he had the looks of a young man, he had existed for over
tens of thousands of years.
“King of Nine Doors, to be honest, I have some regrets now. Back then, I was pestered by you and was
forced to agree to work with you, which may be the cause of the destruction of the Gu Family. What I
just said to Yuxiao was true—Chen Hao is too scary and he is making rapid progress!” A complex look
flashed through Gu Yuehong’s eyes as she said, “However, it is different for you as the King of Nine
Doors. You are just a soul that is able to use your power to control numerous people to become your
puppet and I am only one of them. Even if all things fail, you can still continue living and you will
definitely find a way to return to your Border Realm to continue your life as a Young Master. It is easy
for you to back out but for us, we might even die disembodied. Do you even know what we are
facing?!”
The King of Nine Doors replied, “Hahaha, you worry too much. Perhaps I told you too much and
frightened you with Chen Hao’s background story. Actually, now he is far from fearful and from what I
see, he is just as insignificant as an ant. What’s more, you can’t turn back now because Chen Hao has
remembered you. So what we will do now is to stick to the plan! Besides, you are also greedy for a
longer life. I already promised you to bring your family to live in the Border Realm. By then, your life
span will at least increase by a thousand years. This arrangement is worth every sacrifice you make!
Isn’t it?” The King of Nine Doors burst into laughter.
“That is why I’m not backing down. I have decided that when the time comes, I will catch him myself!”
Gu Yuehong’s voice suddenly turned cold as she spoke.
“Back then, there was a riot in the Border Realm and the eighth reincarnation of the Essence of Nine
Cycles died, then it broke through the border and landed on earth. To obtain the Essence of Nine
Cycles, I followed it but I underestimated the power of the border. I was struck by lightning and turned
into ashes. My soul was captured and since then I have never seen my family. The person who should
really be anxious is me! I have waited for more than ten thousand years for an opportunity like this. For
me to succeed, your help is essential. So be rest assured!” The King of Nine Doors then continued,
“Good! May the day our success come as soon as possible!”
Gu Yuehong nodded.
“Do you two really think you can defeat him? I have told you both numerous times to treasure your own
life. Be grateful for the fact that you are not completely dead now. Don’t go and pick a fight with him
because both of you are no match for him. Your evil plans will never succeed!”
Just then, a voice that sounded as sweet as an oriole appeared; the tone of the voice was so refreshing
and beautiful that it felt like a spring breeze.
A woman dressed in white could be seen floating above the longevity coffin; she was so beautiful that
she looked like an angel.
The King of Nine Doors was dazed by her beauty.
“Are you finally willing to come out?!” said the King of Nine Doors.
“I came out to give you two a warning. Speaking of which, both of you don’t have any hatred and desire
for revenge, but the only conflict between both of you and Chu Hao is your greed! The result of conflict
is chaos!” said the lady in white lightly, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke.
“Damn you and your words of chaos. Are you so sure that with the two of us working together, we still
cannot defeat a small weakling like Chen Hao? You have underestimated me as the King of Nine
Doors. I promise you, in a few days, I will force the eternal love of yours to kneel before me. I will make
him beg in sniffles and tears for me to spare his life and let him go back to continue his life as a Young
Master! Hahaha!”
A tinge of jealousy and anger appeared on the King of Nine Door’s face.
The King of Nine Doors loved the lady in white as much as the lady in white loved Chen Hao.
However, there was only Chen Hao in her heart; it was like he was the only one for her. Her obsession
was so strong that it was like there was no other man in the world that would ever take a place in her
heart except for him.
His heart burned with jealousy.
He gritted his teeth as he continued, “What’s more, when I finally obtain the Essence of Nine Cycles, I
will dominate the world! By then, I will make you willingly become my woman, the woman who belongs
to the man who will be at the top of the world!”
The lady in white couldn’t help but shake her head. Her figure slowly disappeared as she returned into
the longevity coffin.
“What did you mean by that? Have you not heard what I just said?!” the King of Nine Doors roared.
Gu Yuehong looked on with her hands behind her back.
“I think her reply is very clear!” Gu Yuehong said.
“What do you mean?”
“A woman who has seen an eagle in the skies would never set her eyes on an insect on the ground!”
Gu Yuehong said subconsciously.
The King of Nine Doors was furious. “As*hole, what did you just say?!”
It was then when Gu Yuehong realized that she accidentally said what was on her mind out loud.
Gu Yuehong quickly apologized. “King of Nine Doors, sorry, I said the wrong thing!”
“Hmph, hurry up and go and finish your business. Now I have sealed her with my magic. I want her to
witness that I will fulfill everything I just said!”
With that, the King of Nine Doors turned into a black beam and disappeared into the jade.
Turning the story back to Chen Hao, he had cured Su Ruoxi’s mother’s illness long ago and brought Su
Ruoxi with him to send Shuixia and Shuisheng back home.
According to Li Ba, they would have to wait till midnight to conduct the ritual to conjure the spirit, so
they were not in a hurry.
“Shuisheng, the snake cave that you mentioned is in the nearby mountains. Do you still remember the
exact location?”
Chen Hao suddenly remembered the snake cave where Shuisheng obtained his powers.
There seemed to be a lot of information recorded in the snake cave, and these information were what
Chen Hao wanted to obtain.
After the incident with the Gu Family, he understood that venturing out to look for Tongxin and Chen
Pingan without an actual plan was simply suicidal.
The more he understood about this world and the more things he knew, those knowledge would help
him and play a part in the path that he was taking.
“Oh, of course I remember the snake cave you were talking about. I visited the place several times a Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
while ago. Chen Hao, I’ll take you there now!” Shuisheng nodded.
“Wait, snake cave? What snake cave?” Su Ruoxi was listening at the side, but she couldn’t wrap her
head around the whole situation. “Take me along too! I want to follow you two to widen my knowledge!”
she said with a face full of curiosity.
Crash!
While they were talking in the front yard, they heard a sound of bowls crashing from inside the house,
followed by a scream from Shuixia.
“Huh? What happened?!”
Shuisheng was startled.
