The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
"That I could come out of the Great Calamity of Destruction alive and reach Miluo Palace is already a remarkable achievement! And you expect me to have kept my clothes? How many who attained the Dao are still struggling in the Great Calamity of Destruction to this day!
I will tell you the truth: of the seventy-two halls of the Jade Capital, I was the master of one! Do not make light of me, Young Master Mu!
" Keeping one eye on the movements of Heavenly Venerable Fire, Heavenly Venerable Void, and the rest, Shen Mu quickened his pace and said with a smile, "So your cultivation was exhausted and you could not fashion a garment to cover yourself. I had thought it was a custom of exposure among your kind. We are about to part, and it is rare to have made your acquaintance; I shall give you a set of clothes. " With that, he took off his robe and passed it through the opening in the Dao Fruit for Nanxiang Yuanjun to put on.
Nanxiang Yuanjun put on the garment and found it enormously loose: her fingers barely poked their tips from the sleeves, and when she looked down she could see only her toes. "There is no undergarment," she said, gathering the front of the robe over her chest. "Neither have I. " Shen Mu quickened his pace and said, troubled, "I never wear such a thing, and women's undergarments are even less likely to be found on me.
.
. Nanxiang, there is no need to see me off.
Let us part here.
" Nanxiang Yuanjun's Dao Fruit halted.
Standing within it, both hands clutching the front of her robe, she called out loudly, "Young Master Mu, with what do you mean to contend against the Young Masters of Miluo Palace? Your cultivation is weaker than theirs, your forces smaller; they laid their plans billions of years before you, they hold every advantage.
Why struggle so bitterly? " "They hold every advantage, but I have advantages of my own. " Shen Mu turned his head and smiled at her. "Great men cherish their bodies and their lives; they think only of laying plans, only of nurturing their own power, and cannot step into the arena themselves.
But I am a wretch with a worthless life.
If they lose, they lose only their forces; their lives remain. But if I lose, my life is gone. So my advantage is this: I have no way back! Not the slightest retreat. So every time, I can only throw in my full strength and fight — fight for my life!
" He waved his hand and rushed into the distance.
Nanxiang Yuanjun looked after him and saw that the direction he ran in was straight toward the Miluo Golden Ship!
Nanxiang Yuanjun's vision went black. Alarmed, she cried out sharply, "What are you doing?
Stop this at once!
That is the Golden Ship of Salvation of the master of Miluo Palace — not a thing for you to touch!
" "He has no use for it. Give it to me, and I can make this ship serve a purpose! " Shen Mu went off with a whistle, his voice loud and clear, carrying from afar: "Then what harm is there in letting me use it?
" Nanxiang Yuanjun was furious. Her Dao Fruit gave chase, but then she suddenly saw Heavenly Venerable Fire and Heavenly Venerable Void closing in from the flank, ready to intercept Shen Mu, and she halted, thinking, "These two Heavenly Venerables are of the highest strength, restored to their peak.
Let us see how you escape now!
" Scarcely had the thought crossed her mind when she saw Shen Mu give a long, unbroken whistle, running like rolling thunder; striding swiftly forward, he roused his vital essence and suddenly thrust out a single finger!
Heavenly Venerable Fire and Heavenly Venerable Void arrived together, barring his path, and then they saw that finger come flying. "The Divine Origin Finger of the Divine Emperor Langxuan? " Heavenly Venerable Void and Heavenly Venerable Fire were briefly startled, then their expressions changed drastically.
