Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution - Chapter 398

These days, only Mythical equipment from Bosses could spark Jiang Cheng’s interest.

Beyond that, only special items and gems would catch his eye.

But now he had quite a collection of gems too. Unless it was something special like King’s Counter gem, he couldn’t be bothered to look.

“I should find time to remove the low-level gems from my body and replace them with high-level ones.”

The thought occurred to Jiang Cheng.

Just as gems could be embedded, they could also be removed.

However, after removal, the gems would vanish directly, which was quite frustrating.

Jiang Cheng had kept those low-level gems until now only because he lacked gems in the early stages.

Now, he just needed some removal talismans.

Moreover, strengthening the bone positions for embedding was particularly costly in Enhancement Points.

Until now, he only had two embedding slots in his skull, two in each hand bone, and after his weapon evolved into Nether Blade – No Mercy, it gained four slots.

Only ten slots in total.

Naturally, he wanted to embed the best gems.

“I’ve picked everything up, husband, hehe.” After collecting the equipment, A Silly Cutie bounced over to Jiang Cheng’s side, holding his right arm, her delicate face beaming with excitement.

“So happy? You little money-grubber.”

Jiang Cheng pinched her little nose and asked.

“How should I carry you this time?”

For traveling, besides riding Lightning Steed, flying was best.

After all, the mountain paths were treacherous, and walking would mean taking many winding routes.

But Lightning Steed’s effects were too eye-catching.

“Um… however you want to carry me, husband, I like it all, hehe.”

“Let’s go then.” As Jiang Cheng spoke, he spread his wings, grabbed A Silly Cutie, and soared into the sky.

“We’re going to level 100 Hazy Cloud Peak. There are monsters up to level 150 there. It’ll be much faster for both leveling and earning Soul Power.”

“Can we handle it?” A Silly Cutie was somewhat curious.

Hearing level 150, she instinctively felt a bit scared.

Though she had some confidence in her husband.

“Should be easier than dealing with Ghost Fiend,” Jiang Cheng said casually.

“Okay~_~!” A Silly Cutie felt slightly embarrassed.

Though level 150 monsters sounded high-level, they certainly weren’t in the same league as Boss-level beings like Ghost Fiend Lord.

And since her husband said it would be easier than Ghost Fiend, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“My husband is so amazing, hehe.”

“Goes without saying, doesn’t it?” Surprisingly, Jiang Cheng didn’t contradict her but went along with it, praising himself.

Only now did Jiang Cheng realize having a sweet and lovable wife was truly wonderful.

Before, he always thought women were too troublesome. Except for Qian Shanxue and Dharma Saint, he didn’t like dealing with other women.

Even with beauties like Huo Silou, Feng Wu, and Ling Ruoyan, he only treated them as ordinary friends.

As for having many women, that was all misunderstanding. Back then, he was solely focused on gaming, had no time to think about such things, and didn’t want to think about them.

After all, he’d heard women liked to restrict men, greatly affecting their gaming.

But now with Zhang Mengmeng, he felt this kind of life was quite nice.

*Boom*

Passing through the Snow Plains area, seeing they were quite far from Pingnan Castle, Jiang Cheng released Lightning Steed.

A golden lightning bolt descended, casually taking out ten level 70 Snow Bear Leaders before Lightning Steed’s pure white form appeared before Jiang Cheng.

*Neigh*

Lightning Steed reared up on its hind legs, letting out a neigh as if expressing how much it had missed its master.

Lightning Steed was what Jiang Cheng had spent all his Enhancement Points on in Blood Hell Forbidden Land. He had invested a lot in this divine horse.

Both Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie particularly loved this magnificent white horse.

A Silly Cutie had given it the nickname “Little Hong,” but Lightning Steed seemed unsatisfied with it.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t be bothered to care. As long as his wife was happy.

“Little Hong, to Hazy Cloud Peak.”

Jiang Cheng patted Lightning Steed’s head, then carried A Silly Cutie up and retracted his wings.

*Neigh*

Lightning Steed understood, instantly transforming into a streak of white light.

Thousand Shadow Illusions activated, leaving afterimages in its wake.

Lightning Steed possessed a master protection skill. On its back, once activated, Jiang Cheng could shield against the fierce winds from galloping, and didn’t even need to control it, allowing him to enjoy a rare tender moment with A Silly Cutie.

Now, A Silly Cutie was held in front of Jiang Cheng, with the scenery rapidly receding around them.

But in A Silly Cutie’s eyes, there was only Jiang Cheng, her gaze overflowing with affection.

“Husband, why do you think I summoned you? It’s really strange, isn’t it?”

Looking at him, A Silly Cutie suddenly thought of this question.

“I’m not sure, maybe… fate?” Jiang Cheng held her little head closer.

“Hehe, really? But husband, what were you thinking when you were first summoned? Why did you stand there dazed for so long?”

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s answer, A Silly Cutie’s heart felt sweet as honey.

No matter what kind of girl, they all believe in fate more than boys do, and find it very romantic.

A Silly Cutie was no exception.

“Dazed?” Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned.

Anyone who suddenly woke up to find themselves turned into a skeleton, all flesh gone, would question their existence.

His mentality was good, adapting relatively quickly.

Others might have stayed in depression mode for a long time.

“I was thinking how there could be such a beautiful girl like you.”

“Eek… husband, you’re lying! Definitely not that, definitely not, right?”

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s sweet talk, though she knew he was probably lying.

A Silly Cutie’s heart melted, her words just an instinctive response.

“These things can’t be explained.” Jiang Cheng didn’t joke with A Silly Cutie but spoke rather solemnly. “There must be huge secrets behind it.”

“Actually, I don’t know how long I can stay with you. Perhaps one day, I’ll mysteriously disappear.”

“Even now, reincarnation feels bizarre to me.”

Jiang Cheng said with some emotion.

“No… husband, please don’t say that.” Jiang Cheng’s suddenly melancholic tone made A Silly Cutie’s heart clench.

“It won’t happen, it won’t. Husband will definitely become human again and return to reality. I’m… I’m still waiting for you to marry me.”

“Hopefully.” Jiang Cheng’s soul fire suddenly chilled as he moved A Silly Cutie behind him.

*Clang*

An azure blade light flashed, gleaming in the night sky.

*Slash*

[Killed level 100 Yellow Cloud Giant Python, gained 1,000 experience points, 1,000 Evolution Points, 10 Soul Power.]

[Due to killing monster 47 levels higher, gained additional 4,700 experience points, 4,700 Evolution Points, 47 Soul Power.]

*Boom*

A several dozen meter long giant python crashed down behind Jiang Cheng.

“Yellow Cloud Mountain, we’re here.”
