Chapter 931: Splendid Acting Skills! Skilled Actor!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everywhere the energy passed, the feigned injuries would instantly heal and regain its original vitality! One had to know that although these wounds were fake, the extent of their damage was not any weaker than the real thing! Otherwise, how would it have been so easy to deceive so many experts?
But after the miraculous energy of the Seven Colored Holy Fruits passed through, all of it disappeared without a trace! The effectiveness of this Seven Colored Holy Fruit was truly extraordinary!
Having experienced the efficacy of this fruit himself, Jun Mo Xie felt exceptionally joyful in his heart. He could tell that apart from its effects being amazing, another important aspect was that the release of this medicinal energy was smooth and controlled, only having nourishing effects for the body and not dealing any harm.
In other words, even a completely ordinary person who had never cultivated would be able to handle the energy of this seven Holy Fruits with ease. Just this aspect alone made it many times more superior to a huge amount of legendary heavenly treasures. Even the mysterious pills recorded in the Hongjun Pagoda were inferior to it in this area...
With this Holy Fruit, wouldn’t it mean that... even Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi could also consume it with ease?
The entire treatment process actually did not require any outside help at all. The Holy Fruit’s energy simply completed the entire process by itself! The palace lord and the others simply stood around him, watching intently. At the same time, they listened Bai Qi Feng recount the events of the past few days.
The Holy Fruit’s energy was slow, calm and gentle, nourishing Jun Mo Xie’s body. When he felt the energy flow through the Shanzhong acupoint in front of his chest, Jun Mo Xie knew that it was time for him to wake up...
If he still didn’t wake up, those old fellows might really throw him out like a corpse. Even if they didn’t treat him like a corpse, he would be considered a ‘vegetable’...
Thus, Young Master Jun grunted softly, before waking up ‘gradually’. He opened his eyes and looked around fraily at the crowd of old faces hovering over him. His pupils trembled, and he looked around with a perfectly crafted ‘lost and confused’ expression, tinged with a hint of ‘pain’. “I... this... where am I? Didn’t I... die already?”
One truly had to admit; the current expression on Young Master Jun’s face was definitely enough to earn him a nomination at the Oscars for best actor! The look of confusion and fear on his face, that light trembling of the eyes and the unspeakable terror of unfamiliarity... Everything was perfectly blended together, not being overly exaggerated or too little.
Perhaps even a person who’d truly gone through all the dangers and events he’d claimed to have experienced would not be able to produce an expression as accurate and perfect as Jun Mo Xie.
The performance that Young Master Jun gave right now was definitely good enough to be consigned among one of the greatest in the history of acting! This would be a textbook performance that could be studied and referenced by all in the performance arts circle in the future! The most precise textbook example!
“This is the Misty Illusory Manor! Child, are you feeling better now?” An old face squeezed through the crowd and croaked with an ugly smile.
“The Misty Illusory Manor... where is that? Is it one of the palaces of the nether realm?” Young Master Jun shrunk back in a terrified manner as he widened his eyes and cried. “Dare I ask if you are Lord Horse-face of the Ox-head Horse-face devils? 1 I-I... I haven’t done anything bad in the mortal world... boohooo... I’m innocent ah...”
“Lord Horse-face??” The old face suddenly became filled with black lines as the long horsey face grew extremely conflicted. The faces of the other old faces at the side all grew convoluted as they nearly burst out in laughter. Fortunately, their reactions were quick enough and they hurriedly covered their mouths.
This old fellow’s nickname back in the day was exactly ‘Horse-faced Heavenly King’ because of his long facial shape. Hearing this little fellow call him Lord Horse-face the moment he saw him, the other old fellows were so seized by laughter that their intestines almost twisted up.
“Hm? Could it be that you’re not Horse-face? How can it be? Unless... you’re Lord Ox-head!?” Jun Mo Xie gave him an exceedingly strange look and muttered, seemingly to himself. “But... Ox-head shouldn’t look like this...”
An expression of deep thought appeared on his face. “At the very least, Ox-head should have a pair of horns right?”
“Pu... HAHAHAHAHA....” The other old fellows finally could not endure their laughter, and they immediately clutched their stomachs and roared aloud, their entire bodies shaking with peals of laughter.
This Horse-faced Heavenly King’s horsey face instantly became the color of a pig’s gut as he growled with rage. “This old man is not Horse-face! Nor am I Ox-head! Bastard brat, this daddy is a human!”
“I’m sorry...” Jun Mo Xie hurried apologized in a frightened manner. After that, he looked up innocently again and asked. “Erm... human? You said that you’re human? Although you do have some resemblance to humans... does the netherworld palace have humans too? Could it be that you’re a judge? I heard those judges look the most like humans. But where is the Book of Life and Death, and the Judge’s Pen?”
“...” Old man Horse-face was completely defeated. He stared widely with disbelief, unable to say a single word.
“Hahaha, the young speaks freely indeed. There’s no need to take offense...” Loud booming laughter rang out. It’s almost been 2,000 years, and this was the first time they saw this old fellow pranked into speechlessness like this. Today was truly an eye opener. Especially that innocent and fearful expression on his face while he uttered those completely unexpected words.... it was simply too funny!
Just like that, Jun Mo Xie created an uproarious atmosphere to signify his arrival. Everyone quickly came to know that such a cute and confused little kid had appeared, actually mistaking the Misty Illusory Manor for the netherworld palaces.
Furthermore... Lord Horse-faced Heavenly King had actually been mistaken for the Horse-face and Ox-head demons, as well as a judge of the netherworld...
This matter was a source of joy for the entire Misty Illusory Manor for a long time and made the place a lot more bustling...
On the third day that Jun Mo Xie came to the Misty Illusory Manor, he finally ‘completely recovered’ his health!
This matter caused Cao Guo Feng and the rest to feel greatly gladdened. The medicinal efficacies of the Seven Colored Holy Fruits were indeed extraordinary. And the Free and Natural Physique was also similarly heaven defying!
The most important reason was that Young Master Jun simply could not continue lying down for much longer... otherwise, with his ‘injuries’, it would be more normal for him to continue lying down for another dozen or so days...
Jun Mo Xie even felt that he was about to develop aches in his butt from lying down too much...
Another factor was that he could not get any peace at all these few days while he laid there pretending to be hurt. Countless people would come by every so often to marvel at the legendary Free and Natural Physique... There was an old fogey whose teeth had almost all fallen off, hobbling in one day to examine his body while gasping in shock the entire time. This was an extremely normal and frequent occurrence here, so Jun Mo Xie simply ignored him.
But this old toothless turtle actually peeled open his blanket and took a look, immediately jumping back with shock and endless exclamation. “As expected of the Free and Natural Physique! My goodness, what a huge one it is...”
Jun Mo Xie nearly smashed a foot into that old pervert’s face... F*ck, even if you’re checking out the Free and Natural Physique... it shouldn’t be done in such a way right?
This was a matter of a person’s privacy! Are there still moral standards in the cultivation world...
At this moment, Young Master Jun was sitting leisurely on a chair in the yard, basking in the sun.
This was a personal yard that belonged to Cao Guo Feng.
From the moment he was moved here, Jun Mo Xie had not gone out at all.
The main thing was that he’d just arrived, and the Free and Natural Physique was too attention grabbing. Naturally, he couldn’t move rashly for now. Of course, the most important thing... was that Saint Emperor Cao was simply paying too much care and attention on him. Everyday, he would come over five or six times, as if he were taking care of an infant...
Instead of him taking in a disciple, this manner of treatment was more like he’d invited an ancestor into his home, serving him with great care everyday in a happy and contented manner...
If Young Master Jun suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night and Saint Emperor Cao discovered that his precious infant was missing... wouldn’t he simply die of anxiousness?
Bai Qi Feng and the other Saint Emperors who’d come back with him also turned into regular guests at this place now. Everyday, they would only leave very reluctantly late at night, then return early the next day again. The intentions of these Saint Emperor Seniors were naturally good. How torturous was it for a healthy strong lad to be forced to lie and sit all day long? How lonely was that ah...
Thus, we must naturally accompany him...
This was not just threefold; it was fourfold, fivefold, sixfold...
But what they didn’t know was that this endless flood of care and concern had almost driven this Free and Natural Physique youth to the verge of a mental collapse!
As he breathed the air in here lightly, Jun Mo Xie could feel that it was actually not much different from the outside world!
Cao Guo Feng sat beside him, looking at him dotingly. Although they hadn’t gone through an official teacher disciple ceremony, Cao Guo Feng felt that it was fine to skip those troublesome procedures anyway. As long as the kid was here, where could he run to? This was the inside of the Misty Illusory Manor! Who would be so shameless as to come and snatch him away?
Even the palace lord hadn’t managed to snatch the person away; others naturally did not even need to think about it!
“Is this the legendary Misty Illusory Manor? How come it’s a bit different from what I imagined?” Jun Mo Xie seemed to be chatting idly.
“The Misty Illusory Manor exists in an entirely separate and independent space! But although it’s in a different space form the Xuan Xuan Continent, there’s intrinsically no difference between the two spaces!” Cao Guo Feng introduced happily. Just accompanying and talking to this precious disciple of his made him feel happy and an indescribable sense of blessedness...
“That year, when Senior Nine Nether First Young Master came back from his travels, he opened this space using the powerful strength of his own body. He initially wanted to link it to other places...” A look of respect hung on Cao Guo Feng’s face as he mentioned the Nine Nether First Young Master. This was the first time he’d ever seen Cao Guo Feng express such a look of admiration and respect for anybody.
“But later, he discovered that this space could only connect to the Xuan Xuan Continent and nowhere else, so it was unable to meet his requirements. Eventually, it was closed off and turned into a personal storage space for himself... The Seven Colored Holy Fruit here is also something that Senior planted himself...”
Jun Mo Xie nodded lightly, but he sneered internally. That fellow Nine Nether First Young Master must have came back from Earth, discovering the usefulness of storage spaces there, and decided to come back and create his own.
As for the Seven Colored Holy Fruits, they were most likely prepared for his wives. After all, those wives of his all ultimately left with him. Even if there were a few of them with strong cultivation, it was definitely impossible for all of them to be like that. His wives definitely needed a startling heavenly treasure like the Seven Colored Holy Fruits as well!
Setting out to paint a tiger, but ended up drawing a cur. After messing around and creating a giant space, he could only continuously add seals and formations to maintain the stability of the space... After reaching the required realm, he directly used the energies of primordial chaos, Yin-Yang, the five elements, and the stars, creating his own world...
It was said that the first generation Misty Illusory Manor ancestor was the Nine Nether First Young Master’s disciple. From the looks of it, this saying had its basis, and that ancestor was exactly his disciple!
