chapter 745: mission start!

    “my hair?” jasmine hissed.

    she pinched the skin on his hand, the nails on her small fingers left slight red marks.

    “ow, ow!” chen wentian complained.

    “this is your super amazing plan that you couldn’t tell me about? where did you... how did you get so much of it?”

    “um... i may have stolen some from your pillows.” he admitted.

    “you!”

    jasmine was no fool. as a divine beast, every part of her body was a precious treasure. if she naturally shed fur with the changing seasons, she kept it all greedily and used it to stuff the many pillows that surrounded her bed.

    “and... i may have picked some directly from your tails.”

    her pretty face transformed from one of anger into one of horror. she quickly hugged her four tails to her body and scooted away from him, like he was some crazy bandit.

    “you... you...”

    “i’m sorry, i’m sorry.” he insisted with what he hoped was an honest expression.

    “fine! fine! we’ll talk about this after the mission! i’ll get you back for this, i promise!”

    “sure, i’ll do anything you want.”

    she snorted. she was still filled with dissatisfaction but she couldn’t hide the small smile that made her upper lip twitch.

    “whatever, let’s go!” she said.

    “mission start!” he replied.

    “get out of my way! if we delay any longer, we’ll lose jasmine’s trail!” he zicheng said.

    he was furious, he was anxious, but most of all he felt helpless and that was the worst feeling of all. it was as if something precious was slipping out of his hands once again. jasmine was the key to his cultivation. she was to key the cultivation of all three kings of the beast god sanctum.

    in these two or so years without her presence, his cultivation had not only not improved, it had actually regressed slightly. normally, such a thing was unheard of for those who earned their cultivation themselves, step by step through hard work. however, his and qu shen’s powers had been supported by jasmine and her divine aura for so long so naturally, her absence was a serious matter.

    qu shen knew this as well. however, his hatred for this brother of his was slightly greater than his desire to find jasmine. he sneered at he zicheng as if he was looking at an idiot.

    “so what? i am tired of you telling me what to do. the only person that could do that was elder brother zhuge. not you.”

    “oh, give it a rest!” he zhcheng snarled. he was running out of patience. he didn’t want to rehash their old arguments for the thousandth time. “why are you so stubborn? if you had not interfered that last time, she would have never escaped. i would have let you receive her aura as well.”

    qu shen laughed mockingly, “is she your possession? should i be thankful to receive such a little favor? even if you want to pretend that she is your possession, other people can still rob you of it.”

    “fuck! go fuck yourself! i’ll kill you!” he zicheng shouted.

    he was tired of qu shen. he was tired of the eagle faction. he just wanted to unify the beast god sanctum and yet so many people were standing in his way. they antagonized him every step of the way. they even invited outsiders to do their dirty work. even if he couldn’t catch jasmine this time, he wasn’t going to let qu shen and his people off, not this time.

    his upper body transformed into that of a huge lion as he charged.
