Chapter 567: Chapter 438: Defecting Girl – Person or Pet?

Di Sheng Domain

For Chu Mu, when he stepped into this special realm located at some corner of the world, it felt as tender as the most primitive contentment when surrounded by a whole jungle.

Chu Mu was already very familiar with jungles, and he looked around at the exuberantly colored plants and trees of all kinds.

Many of these ancient tall trees stretched as far as the sky and probably housed all kinds of low-level living species ranking at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Under these towering old trees, there were even shorter plants with wide canopies. These plants formed large, lotus-leaf-like crowns between the tall trees and the ground, displaying a series of floating steps in the blue sky, and casting large disc-shaped shadows, looking truly remarkable.

In the past, the jungles Chu Mu encountered were green, and most plant-type soul pets had green or blue colors. Generally, finding plants with unusual colors in the jungle often meant that they were lurking plant-type soul pets.

Meanwhile, the Di Sheng Domain was entirely different. Chu Mu could see that the layers of bushes in his view each presented a different color. When all this was taken in, it would create a blinding sensation, as if a painter’s colorful palette had spilled over, combining into a masterpiece of perfect rendering and outlining on a blue canvas…

How many people would associate this splendid and beautiful scene with danger?

“Young Master, this is the usual tactic of plant-type soul pets to use a harmless and beautiful appearance to attract humans, making them unconsciously relax their vigilance. Do not underestimate the lassitude and fascination of this spirit. Many soul pet masters end up becoming fertilizer for these plants without even having the opportunity to summon their soul pets. And even if they manage to summon their soul pets, their combat power would decrease because of the color differences and visual confusion caused by these plants. The combat power of mentally weak soul pets might even decrease by 50%,” Fox Elder warned Chu Mu.

Chu Mu’s state of mind was already extremely strong and determined. Although he initially felt the visual impact of these vibrant colors and their exquisite combination, he remained focused. One could only imagine how completely a person who had never been here, who had not been alert would lose themselves in this place.

“Young Master, if Her Highness brought you here to capture your first pet twelve years ago, she must not have taken you too far from the edge of the Di Sheng Domain. So, you probably encountered the flower-type soul pet at the edge of the Di Sheng Domain, and then she cast some enchantment on you,” Fox Elder analyzed.

Chu Mu understood that whether he could find that mysterious girl soul pet depended on Fox Elder’s rich experience and analysis. After all, Fox Elder himself was a weird hybrid of half-human and half-pet and must have had some understanding of all sorts of freaks in the soul pet world.

“Why do you think she is a flower-type soul pet? She could have been hidden in the flower and signed a soul contract with me when my mother was not paying attention. And at that time, I remember being very clear-headed and not under any enchantments. I talked to her and thought very seriously about it,” Chu Mu said.

“Since Her Highness took you here, she must have prioritized your safety. So, her soul pet must have been nearby, and she must have kept an eye on you. Since you and the girl soul pet talked, hesitated, and then signed the soul contract, it must have taken quite a bit of time. It is highly unlikely that Her Highness did not notice it…” Fox Elder said.

If things had happened earlier, Chu Mu would not have thought that Liu Binglan would have allowed him to act carelessly for such a long time because he never felt her motherly instinct. However, as it turns out, she might have cared about him but just failed to express it or was unaccustomed to being a mother… At least, now Chu Mu could see that.

“That does make sense, but I felt very clear-headed at the time and never felt that I had been put under any enchantment later on. What happened was purely out of curiosity and expectation towards the girl soul pet and the emotions stirred by her stunning charm,” Chu Mu said, pondering.

“Let’s put the process aside and let me tell you about the possibilities of this girl soul pet,” Fox Elder suggested.

Chu Mu nodded. In fact, he wanted to know what kind of soul pet that mysterious girl was, and why her physique, behavior, and emotions were exactly like those of humans. If she couldn’t sign a soul contract with humans, Chu Mu would never have seen her as a soul pet. After all, she had no differences from humans.

“These humanoid soul pets are usually found in the stories that scholars tell children to make them respect their soul pets. Here’s a shocking idea. The First Scholar of a Thousand Years once proposed a theory:

He said that so-called humans are simply soul pets with spirits and higher racial levels, raised quickly by powerful masters.”

“Define humans as soul pets?” Chu Mu appeared puzzled.

Fox Elder nodded and continued, “Humans are soul pets, and the so-called soul pact signing and soul pet manipulation can be regarded as their racial skills. Such racial skills are similar to the Mother of a Hundred or Thousand Mothers, which also have the ability to manipulate and enslave soul pets. If we don’t consider the fact that Mothers can only control their own offspring and not other races, then the Mothers can also be considered to be soul pet masters.

This theory is very bold, and nobody has ever dared to verify whether it is correct. The idea of humans and soul pets being somewhat interchangeable has never appeared in any books before. This example simply highlights that the differences between humans and soul pets are just species oddities, and there is no insurmountable racial barrier.”

The words of the Fox Elder made Chu Mu think deeply. This was the first time that he had heard humans being classified as soul pets possessing the racial skill of signing soul pacts!

“So, you’re saying that humans can also form soul contracts with each other?” Chu Mu asked with a surprised look on his face.

Fox Elder shook his head and said, “No, it’s clear that this racial skill of humans doesn’t work on members of the same race.”

Seeing that Chu Mu was seriously listening, Fox Elder cleared his throat and continued, “Although some peak-level human beings are unwilling to admit this fact, there are many examples that still prove this theory is more inclined to the truth.”

“What examples? The girl soul pet I encountered?” Chu Mu asked hurriedly.

“Yeah, that girl is one of them, and then there’s the issue with Young Master himself.” Fox Elder pointed at Chu Mu and said.

“My problem?” Chu Mu didn’t understand the meaning of Fox Elder’s words.

But upon thinking carefully, a storm of emotions suddenly surged in Chu Mu’s heart!

Half-demon!!

He was now already leaning towards being a half-demon, and wasn’t a half-demon the absolute proof of his transformation from a human to an evil soul pet?!

The presence of this demonic transformation undoubtedly suggests that the so-called racial barrier between humans and soul pets can be broken!

“There are half-demons, and perhaps there are also half-human, half-demon, half-young woman and so on. So Young Master, there’s nothing to be surprised about. You live in a human world, and your subconscious values and worldview naturally center on humans, making it difficult for you to accept this viewpoint. In fact, this is also the reason why this viewpoint has been banned.”

“Regardless of whether humans are deceiving themselves or whether they are indeed the dominators, humanoid soul pets do indeed exist,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time after hearing this and only asked with a somewhat incredulous tone after a while, “So is that girl who signed a soul contract with me a human or a soul pet?”

“There are two possibilities. First, she’s a human who, through some extremely bizarre events, gained the ability and bloodline of a certain flower-type soul pet. Perhaps her strength wasn’t strong at that time, and it was difficult for her to survive in the dangerous Di Sheng Domain, so she’s been hoping to enter the human world, which is much safer, by forming soul contracts with the soul pet masters who enter the Di Sheng Domain and then grow step by step. People who enter the Di Sheng Domain will be subject to the prohibition of signing soul contracts and can only carry a Soul Capture Ring. Those who carry the Soul Capture Ring will be subject to inspection by the Holy Guards, and her special form will be exposed. The only possibility is to sign a soul contract with someone else, and Young Master is the only one who can sign a soul contract in the Di Sheng Domain.”

“The second possibility. She’s a flower-type soul pet that has already surpassed emperor level and possesses a shape-shifting ability similar to mine, although her skill is stronger. She changes into the perfect female image in the human imagination and bewitches humans into signing soul contracts with her. She’s of a very high level, and even the strongest human soul pet masters wouldn’t be able to restrain her, let alone when you were a little kid. That being said, if this possibility is true, why would she have approached the human world at that level? And moreover, whether or not soul pets that surpass emperor level actually exist is still worth investigating,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu listened carefully to Fox Elder’s analysis and felt that although the second option seemed a bit far-fetched and shocking, he was more inclined to believe the first possibility.

But if the first possibility was true, then the core of the defecting girl would be…

“The first possibility is more likely. It’s very likely that a certain girl inadvertently gained the bloodline of the Di Sheng Flower. If this is the case, she is also a human… Which makes things a bit more difficult.” Fox Elder rubbed his temple with his short fingers.

…

This answer truly shocked Chu Mu’s heart!

Chu Mu even wanted to believe more that she was a soul pet that had surpassed the emperor level and transformed into a young girl, rather than accepting that the defecting girl was also a human.

However, no matter what she was, her appalling actions!

Once Chu Mu found her, he would definitely not let her go easily!
