CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 332: I’LL KNOW IF IT’S REAL WITH A TASTE

The unicorn stopped. Even as the mount of the Enchanting Demon Queen, it dare not disturb the silence, showing great etiquette.

Chu Yi immediately got off the carriage, surveying the surroundings—a river bathed in the light of twilight, densely woven with water currents, water vapor erupting, washing over the accumulated white bones with a tinkling sound, the flow surging forth.

But in the Clock Eye, he could perceive numerous distorted shadowy anomalies moving swiftly in the depths like rampaging sharks.

"Prince Nan Zhi, if I may trouble you to lead the way to the treasury..."

Chu Yi turned around, after all he had a favor to ask, yet his expression was frozen—the unicorn and the carriage had vanished.

Had he been expelled?

All around were tightly woven water nets, murky yellow river water tumbling, each droplet rolling and drifting, steeped with the power of time, emerging as fragmented shards of time, glimpsing past, present, future, images flashing by swiftly.

Here, filled with the mighty power of time, it was a paradise longed for by time-element Beast Tamers, a forbidden sanctuary of time.

But the problem arises.

How can I, for the first time, enter the Royal Court treasury?

Ch-ch...

A rustling sound, like spring silkworms munching leaves.

Chu Yi vaguely glimpsed a corner by the river, a head covered with dense long hair surfaced, a pair of pale eyes staring at Chu Yi, chewing, sharp teeth ripping, as if eating something.

Its eyes brightened, tasting a delicacy never savored in its lifetime, trembling all over.

"A creature born of the River of Time?"

Chu Yi squinted, seeing the flesh in its mouth—it was a segment of an arm, eerily familiar.

The next moment.

He felt a pain in his left arm, realizing his left hand was empty, only the left shoulder remaining, not knowing when this creature had snatched and eaten it.

"To dare use time to deceive me, courting death."

Bam!

The head-like creature munching on the arm, the phantom arm in its mouth vanished.

It closed its saw-like teeth, biting its tongue that resembled a soft writhing tentacle, spraying a large amount of a foul-smelling blood, glaring angrily at Chu Yi.

Even before entering the treasury, Chu Yi had cautiously used Retrospection Skills, using a false past self to tread the minefield.

Just as he moved, the head creature suddenly jumped back into the water, mingling into the disorderly, chaotic time.

Crack... Crack...

The tooth-aching sound of shattering gradually converged, growing louder.

At this moment.

The river water boiled, water nets undulated, shadows from the river grew clearer, countless in number, but due to sheer quantity, only protruding varied mouths, scattered across the entire lake.

Looking around, no river water was in sight, just an odd scene.

The Human King Body was an irresistible temptation to them.

"A probe? Or... is someone in the Royal Court wanting to eliminate me?"

Chu Yi, sensitive to causality, clearly saw this as a trap seemingly aimed at him.

Without Retrospection, he would have had his arm immediately snatched and devoured by the head creature.

"If you dare block my path, I’ll kill you all!"

Chu Yi, burning with rage, unabashedly unleashed the mighty power of the Human King Body, causing the anomalies to become even more frenzied.

He punched out, the fist wind blazing, nine Dragon Child phantoms accompanied by flashes of lightning exploded a gap in the lake, answered by several unspeakable huge beasts crawling out from the constraints of the river.

At this moment.

A dark mist surrounded Chu Yi, gray fog permeated, hundreds of small frogs infused with the aura jumped out, scattering in all directions.

Imitating the authority of the Master of Grey Mist, unaffected by causality shifts, he released the troopers of True Monarch Miaowa, while Chu Yi lay hidden in the shadows.

The opponent, at least Radiant Moon level!

Splat!

After killing the small frogs, the lake was overflowing with countless monsters, roaming wildly, frantically searching for Chu Yi’s whereabouts, utilizing the power of time to reflect Chu Yi’s figure.

In an instant.

The secretive gray mist that shielded all probing seemed splashed with acid, sizzling and smoking, divine power being consumed violently, but fortunately, Chu Yi had feast provisions to sustain it.

Until a light rain descended from the sky, the river water shattered to pieces, the odd forms slightly flickered, seemingly transforming from solid to void, becoming increasingly faint, washed away by the rain, flowed back into the river.

In the end, only a few powerful oddities remained, reluctantly dispersing with the rain under hysterical roars.

Witnessing all of this.

Chu Yi was still waiting; the one setting this trap could not be so impatient.

The next moment.

His right hand was pulled by something soft and smooth as jade, and the girl beside him changed into a black dress, highlighting her creamy skin, pulling Chu Yi off the car with a fierce glance, her eyes adorably angry.

Clearly, she was displeased with Chu Yi for dirtying her delicate jade feet earlier.

"Time trickery? Fabrication of false heavens? Hah, how could I fall for that?"

Chu Yi, perceiving part of the causes and effects, still felt the danger, gazed at Nanaki’s stunningly youthful face and coldly laughed.

This trap had another layer; the opponent disguised as Nanaki, intending to lower his guard for a backstab.

With those words.

Nanaki was stunned.

She blinked, looking at Chu Yi with a tilted head and a puzzled expression.

"Brother Chu Yi, what are you talking about?"

Chu Yi immediately tasted, testing for authenticity.

Indeed, it was petite and tender, soft and delicious.

Like the peeled flesh of mangosteen, hinting a subtle sweet fragrance, white segments like ice cream, dense and creamy, the flesh smoothly passing over the tongue, seemingly suction feeding "exploding" the flavors on the tongue.

This familiar taste, could it be real?

Chu Yi was uncertain, maintaining a cautious stance, focusing to verify repeatedly.

Time tricks were cunning, just like Chu Yi’s Clock Eye, a single Golden Feast held twelve skills, manipulating time.

The opponent could also possibly be a time-refined duplicate, easily delivering a crushing blow if one was careless.

"Hiss—"

The four unicorns resting beside watched Chu Yi’s act of desecrating the Princess, their pupils quaking, immediately standing up.

What was this human doing!

To oppress the Princess before four witnesses, utterly unforgivable, committing a capital crime.

This, this is too much!

Having found Chu Yi distasteful for a long while, this rough and arrogant fellow would beat them up "just because" he found them irksome, they suffered under Chu Yi’s oppression.

Now.

It was a great opportunity to rise against the tyrant.

Just when the unicorns were about to save the Princess, the largest unicorn blocked them, the reason it gave drenched them like cold water.

The Princess did not resist.

Was she... enjoying it?

For a moment, the four unicorns fell into a stupor.

They exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes showing human-like confusion, what did it mean?

I don’t know!

Was Chu Yi really so favored by the Princess?!

The unicorns lapsed into silence, instinctively avoiding eye contact, also despairing over being enslaved by Chu Yi for life, subjected to his oppression, never to return to the Royal Court again.

They wept! o(╥﹏╥)o

After a long while.

Chu Yi lifted Nanaki’s beautiful legs, considerately helping her into new white stockings, his face awkward.
