Zuo Shangchen"s eyes were bright, he was clearly filled with admiration and respect towards the mythical Master of the Underworld.Unfortunately, the once all-powerful and peerless cultivator had disappeared into the rivers of history!
"I understand." Gu Ruoyun then turned towards Zuo Shangchen and asked, "The purpose of your journey to the Heavenly Moon Empire and approaching the Eldest Lady of the Regional King"s Mansion isn"t as simple as to pick up girls, is it?"
Zuo Shangchen"s face turned dark and he glared at Gu Ruoyun furiously.
This d.a.m.ned woman, she"s accusing me of coming to the Regional King"s Mansion to pick up girls?
I"m much too lazy to even look at that incomparably arrogant Eldest Lady who had been shoved at me. I would never have tolerated her for such a long time if it were not for that fellow, Gu Shengxiao.
Zuo Shangchen took a deep breath at the thought of this before staring resentfully at Gu Ruoyun with his peach blossom eyes. "Xiao Yun"er, is this how you see me? Do you think that I have such bad taste and would pick up a woman like that? If my Master had not told me that the Heavenly Moon Empire contains the Moon Soul Herb which can free someone from a puppet"s body, I would not have tolerated that woman"s nagging for so long."
Since Zuo Shangchen knows that Gu Shengxiao had been captured by the Wen family, he understood Gu Shengxiao"s current predicament.
It was a good thing that the fellow was not a full puppet and was only considered to be a half puppet. Hence, if Zuo Shangchen could obtain the Moon Soul Herb, he could help to solve this problem! However, if Gu Shengxiao was turned into a full puppet, no one would be able to help him then, not even the King of Heaven himself.
Hence, when Gu Ruoyun heard what Zuo Shangchen had said, a sense of joy flashed in her eyes, "Is this true? Is the Moon Soul Herb in the Heavenly Moon Empire?"
Zuo Shangchen nodded. "I know that Gu Shengxiao had previously journeyed to the Dark Earth Realm in search of the Moon Soul Herb so I came here as well! Initially, I had intended to find his whereabouts first before thinking of a way to obtain the Moon Soul Herb. I never thought that he would have left so soon. Since that"s the case, I can relax and put all of my attention to look for the Moon Soul Herb."
Gu Ruoyun"s lips twitched as she looked at the determined look on that man"s seductive face. She wanted to say something but kept quiet in the end.
This evildoer has done so much for the sake of my big brother. He had even risked his life and entered the Dark Earth Realm.
All for the sake of this Moon Soul Herb!
"Thank you."
All her feelings were contained within those two words.
She would remember Zuo Shangchen"s kindness!
In the future, if he was in any danger, she would rush over immediately to save him even if she was a thousand miles away!
"Xiao Yun"er, since this is your first time in the Dark Earth Realm, why don"t you come with me to the Heavenly Moon Empire?" Zuo Shangchen smiled as he spoke. "Even though Su Lin is arrogant and overbearing, her father is an upright man. Besides, he would accept your presence on account of my Master."
Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before she nodded, "Alright."
Since the Moon Soul Herb is in the Heavenly Moon Empire, she has to make a trip there no matter what!
If she obtains the Moon Soul Herb, her big brother could live the life of a normal human just like he used to. He would not need to worry about being controlled by others at any moment.
"Fourth Prince, what do you know about the Moon Soul Herb?"
Gu Ruoyun lifted her head towards Zuo Shangchen as she asked.
"The Moon Soul Herb lies within the Heavenly Moon Empire"s Imperial Palace," Zuo Shangchen looked at Gu Ruoyun as he spoke. "Besides, I heard that they will be holding a compet.i.tion sometime soon. I"m not too sure of the details concerning the compet.i.tion but I heard that the winner of the compet.i.tion would gain the Moon Soul Herb."
Aside from the ability to free a man from his puppet state, the Moon Soul Herb was also a very precious treasure.
