Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Purple Cloud Returns

Xu Chao just disappeared like that, leaving only Mu Can and Purple Cloud facing each other in their original spot.

"Body Shaping Pill." Mu Can held the Body Shaping Pill left by Xu Chao, cradling it like a rare treasure.

This elixir had always been the elixir Mu Can longed for in his dreams.

"Mhm." Purple Cloud nodded, the object of her long anticipation appearing before her eyes, stirring excitement even in her usually tranquil heart.

"Let’s go, find a place to help you reconstruct your body." Mu Can, full of excitement, took Purple Cloud’s hand and headed towards the City Lord Mansion.

"Find me a quiet place." Mu Can said to the City Lord who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, master." The Reincarnation City Lord quickly assumed the role of a servant and led Mu Can towards the City Lord Mansion.

Having found a quiet secret chamber for Mu Can, the City Lord consciously stood by the door to act as protector.

Mu Can sat down with Purple Cloud and fed her the Body Shaping Pill.

At this moment, Purple Cloud was like an ordinary girl, showing none of the grandeur of the legendary Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable, obediently following Mu Can’s arrangements and gently swallowing the Body Shaping Pill.

Mu Can smiled with satisfaction, finally able to help Purple Cloud reconstruct her body. This would fulfill his dream, to walk arm in arm with Purple Cloud outside, what a blissful thing that would be.

"Hehe." Mu Can scratched his head and withdrew to the doorway as well.

"Master." Seeing Mu Can, the City Lord immediately saluted respectfully.

"What should I call you?" Although they had a master-servant pact, Mu Can never really treated the City Lord as his servant.

"You can call me Old Han, master." The City Lord bowed as he spoke.

Mu Can nodded, completely satisfied with this servant.

Waiting is always anxious, seconds and minutes passed, but to Mu Can it felt as long as years.

"Come in, kid," the awaited result finally arrived, Purple Cloud’s voice came from inside the secret chamber.

Mu Can hurriedly entered the secret chamber, only to find Purple Cloud sitting there, covered only with a blanket, shyly looking at him.

"Quickly go find me some clothes."

After consuming the Body Shaping Pill, Purple Cloud entered the body reconstruction process; waking up to find herself stark naked sitting there. She could only grab a blanket to cover herself.

"Ah?" Mu Can was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized that under Purple Cloud’s blanket her body was stark naked.

"What ’ah’? Hurry and find some clothes for me." Purple Cloud, knowing exactly what expression was on Mu Can’s face, immediately yelled angrily.

Mu Can hurriedly exited, "Old Han, help me find a new set of clothing, for a woman." He quickly ordered the City Lord after coming out.

Moments later, Mu Can, carrying a purple long dress, entered the secret chamber, only to be driven out again.

Touching his nose in slight irritation, Mu Can could only obediently walk out.

When Purple Cloud appeared before Mu Can in a long purple dress, Mu Can felt that everything was worth it.

"Sister Yun, you look so beautiful." Mu Can stared blankly at Purple Cloud, murmuring.

"Beautiful?" Purple Cloud smiled, spun around, her purple dress swirling with ripples, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Beautiful." Mu Can felt as if he had lost the ability to speak, finding himself at a loss for words while gazing at Purple Cloud.

"Let me protect you from now on." Purple Cloud looked at Mu Can, confidence surging through her as her strength returned.

"No, Sister Yun, I should protect you." As a man, even though Mu Can’s power was nowhere near Purple Cloud’s, his pride couldn’t accept the idea of a woman protecting him.

Nevertheless, Mu Can was slowly moved in his heart.

"Let’s go outside, it’s time to settle things." Mu Can looked at Purple Cloud, his eyes filled with love.

Only now did Mu Can dare to face his true feelings, no longer concealing his deep affection for Purple Cloud.

"Okay." Purple Cloud nodded, obediently walking over to Mu Can.

Having reshaped her physical body, Purple Cloud seemed like a different person, her soul having reconvened and her personality stabilizing.

"Old Han, how can I summon you out?" Mu Can asked aloud.

If the battle outside goes poorly, they might need Old Han’s help, starting with resurrecting his own father.

"Master, if you summon, use the key given to you by the benefactor," the City Lord said respectfully.

"I understand." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Can, with a thought, appeared outside the Reincarnation Pearl with Purple Cloud.

"Finally back." Mu Can sighed upon appearing outside.

In such a short period, Mu Can experienced what he previously couldn’t even imagine; he met the junior of the creator of the Reincarnation Pearl, became the disciple of the creator, took in a servant of the Immortal Venerable Level, and most importantly, helped Purple Cloud reshape her body.

"Number 36, how many people are still alive?" Since entering the Reincarnation Pearl, Number 36 had lost contact as if being blocked.

"Twelve survivors currently," Number 36’s familiar voice responded.

It seems the battle continued during this time, just at a much slower pace than before.

"How long until the safe zone shrinks?" Mu Can continued asking.

If the safe zone shrinks quickly, then the final battle is approaching.

"One more day, the zone will shrink tomorrow," Number 36 replied promptly.

"One day, heh, I wonder if Ye Wang is still alive?" Mu Can thought of Ye Wang and chuckled.

"Don’t worry, I’m here," Purple Cloud reassured as she pulled Mu Can’s arm gently.

"Sister Yun, how is Little Lucky?" Mu Can was still concerned about Little Lucky, the little fellow had been in a coma and there had been no news, still sleeping in the first layer of space inside the Reincarnation Pearl.

"He’s fine, the longer he sleeps, the more effective the medicine is and the higher his improvement will be," Purple Cloud explained mildly.

Understanding that Little Lucky was alright, Mu Can felt relieved, now hoping Little Lucky could sleep a bit longer.

"Let’s go." With his beloved by his side, Mu Can felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart.

Despite the rough road ahead, he felt fearless.

"It seems tomorrow will be the final showdown." Mu Can reached the newest safe area, only to find it was on a vast desert.

In such a place with no cover, there’s no way to hide one’s movements, so once the safe area shrinks here tomorrow, an unavoidable great battle, the final showdown, will ensue.

There’s no chance for the safe zone to shrink again; tomorrow should be the last day.
