Chapter 419 - 419: The Mysterious Song

As soon as Long Chen came out, he was greeted by Chu Miao.

Chu Miao was wearing a different dress now as her old clothes had gotten wet.

"You're back. Are you fine?" Chu Miao stood up as she saw Long Chen.

"Yeah, it was nothing. The water is not harmful if you can handle the cold," Long Chen replied to her.

He looked down at his clothes that were dripping wet.

"Can you turn back for a little while? I need to change clothes," he told her.

Chu Miao nodded her head as she turned her back on Long Chen.

Long Chen took off the wet clothes and sent the clothes into his storage ring.

He brought a set of dry clothes and got dressed.

"I'm done. You can turn back," He told her after he finished dressing up.

Chu Miao turned back.

"Was there anything inside the water? Why did your beast jump inside the water? Also, how can it come out of your beast bag? I tried calling my beast out, and I still wasn't able to," Chu Miao started asking the questions that were floating in her mind.

"The sect restriction might depend on the beast type and strength maybe, that might be why one of my Beast wasn't affected because of it while my other beasts were. She's still too weak,"

"Also, there was nothing inside the pond. She probably jumped in because she liked the water," he made up some excuse. She didn't need to know about the Divine Prosperity Fish and the King God Beasts.

"I jumped after you as well, but the water was so cold, my body started shutting down. It was strange seeing the water inside looking so clear when the top surface looked like blood," she said.

"I had my ways to protect myself, but you would have died if you had forced yourself. That's something that wouldn't have helped either you or me. Instead, it would have only made things worse. Leaving at the right time was the right choice," Long Chen praised her.

"Anyway, let's continue. The time is passing fast. We don't have much time left to waste. There are still so many places to see," Long Chen said as he brought his Spirit Sword out of the storage ring.

"Don't you want to sleep anymore?" She asked.

"It's fine. Don't worry about that. It doesn't seem like this place is going to let me rest. I might as well find more treasures instead of wasting time. We still have to find their skill hall and their other rewarding places," Long Chen replied.

" I just hope that the skill hall won't be like the treasure hall. I don't want to be given a useless skill just like these useless gloves," he added as he looked at the gloves that he was wearing.

The more he thought about the gloves, the angrier he got.

" They hadn't been useful in the least, and I still don't know about them. They are even worse than normal gloves; these can't even keep my hands warm. The Treasure Hall definitely didn't like my answers and threw these useless things my way. I wonder why I'm even wearing them," he complained.

"The objects can be mysterious and useful without knowing. Don't worry about it. At worst, it'll just be an accessory to look good. It does look good on you; I must say," Chu Miao complimented.

"That might be its only use, I guess," Long Chen muttered with a wry smile on his face.

"Anyway, we should be leaving. Come closer," Long Chen said as he glanced at Chu Miao.

Chu Miao nodded her head. She stepped closer to him with her slow steps. She was somewhat embarrassed as she stepped so close to him that the distance between them remain
