Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1159 - 1159 1119 Cultivating Lingzhi

1159: Chapter 1119: Cultivating Lingzhi 1159: Chapter 1119: Cultivating Lingzhi Golden Tiger turned and fled, his body continuously shrinking in the process.

Gradually, he actually transformed into a human form, becoming even faster as he darted through the forest.

Lu Chuan wanted to follow, but he realized he had no chance whatsoever!

After that guy turned into a human, his speed was astonishingly fast; Lu Chuan was no match and couldn’t keep up at all.

Lu Chuan suddenly thought of something and didn’t dare to hesitate, rushing forward quickly.

He intended to head into that cave to investigate!

Why had Lu Fu come all the way to Bei Wang County yet ordered his mount to stay outside?

Was it merely for fear of exposure?

Impossible; there had to be some secret hidden inside that cave!

Lu Chuan swiftly arrived at the entrance of the cave, standing there, gazing into the darkness within.

Suddenly, a figure peeked out from the side.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, it immediately fled in panic, not daring to linger for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan knew it was Golden Tiger.

The first thing he did after escaping was to return here, evidently, there was something extremely precious that he had to retrieve.

Fortunately for Lu Chuan, he got here first; standing in this spot, Golden Tiger wouldn’t be able to approach.

Lu Chuan entered the cave and started to make his way deeper inside.

Boom!!

Flames lit up, Dongfang Cheng and Yan Kai were following close behind.

“What could possibly be inside this cave?” Lu Chuan muttered.

“Lu Chuan, do you believe there’s something hidden here, and that’s why Golden Tiger was guarding the place?”

Dongfang Cheng asked from behind.

“Exactly, Golden Tiger is no match for me.

The first thing he did after fleeing was to return here, but clearly, he was one step too late.”

Lu Chuan used the Divine Fire of the Sun for illumination and soon reached the end of the cave, where Golden Tiger resided.

As he neared, Lu Chuan smelled a piercing, foul stench of blood that was so thick it was unbearable, and he couldn’t help but pinch his nose.

“How much has this guy eaten?

The smell is just too horrible!”

Dongfang Cheng said while covering his nose.

“There’s a rumor that Golden Tiger’s stomach has an infinite space and he can eat continuously.”

“Even more amazing, he can digest the lives he consumes into remnants of Spiritual Energy.”

Lu Chuan looked at Yan Kai, “You know so much?”

“I like to read all sorts of strange folklores when I’m free, so I’m somewhat aware, but my knowledge is limited and not in-depth.”

“That guy’s been holed up here eating, producing Spiritual Energy; he might be nurturing something.”

Yan Kai’s words perked up Lu Chuan.

“Is that so?

Then I’ll have to search thoroughly.”

Lu Chuan began seriously searching the surroundings, and soon, he spotted a peculiar plant.

A Lingzhi mushroom was growing in the corner, entirely deep red as if it had been soaked in blood for a long time, its color akin to that of blood.

Lu Chuan looked at the Lingzhi and reached out to touch it.

“This Lingzhi is rich in Spiritual Energy, as if it has been nurtured for a long time; it’s obviously no ordinary thing!”

Yan Kai came over and asked, “What now?

Should we pick it?

It seems like the Golden Tiger had not fully cultivated it yet.”

“Pick it, what else can we do?

We can’t just keep guarding here forever.

My purpose in coming here was to stop the Lu family from achieving their goal.”

Lu Chuan reached out and plucked the Lingzhi.

Snap!

After plucking it, Lu Chuan pocketed it.

“We can leave now, let’s go back and see what’s going on.

Now that I’ve taken it, that guy Lu Fu is definitely going to do something.”

Lu Chuan got up and headed towards the cave entrance.

“How about taking a bite of the Lingzhi to see how it tastes?

The Spiritual Energy in it is so abundant,” Dongfang Cheng suddenly suggested with a whimsical idea.

“Are you serious?

What if this thing is poisonous?”

“How could that be?

Aren’t Lingzhi known for being greatly nourishing?

This one should be no exception.”

“It’s been nourished with the blood of countless people; it’s better not to eat such a thing.

It’s not necessary.”

The trio of Lu Chuan walked out of the cave, and outside was a scene of devastation, with fallen leaves mixed with corpses on the ground, shattered flesh and blood everywhere.

The air was also filled with a pungent stench of blood, making it very discomforting to smell.

The trio walked towards the place where the horses were tied.

After mounting the horses, they set off to return to Bei Wang County.

The Golden Tiger must have reverted to human form and returned to Bei Wang County, to his master’s side.

Back in Bei Wang County, Lu Chuan saw everything around him, people still living their lives in peace on the streets.

Lu Chuan looked at Yan Kai.

“Yan Kai, don’t go back to the Princess’ Mansion for now.

In case the Golden Tiger recognizes you, you’ll be done for!”

Upon hearing this, Yan Kai pondered for a moment, then helplessly nodded, “I did run into that Golden Tiger guy when I arrived at the entrance of the cave.

If he sees me in the Princess’ Mansion, he will surely expose me.

In that case, I really can’t return to the Princess’ Mansion.”

He looked up at Lu Chuan with a helpless sigh, “It’s all up to you now, Lu Chuan…

If you can kill that bastard Lu Fu, I would be truly grateful.

It would really be like saving our Bei Wang County from fire and water.”

“Don’t worry, Lu Fu is bound to die by my hand.

I’ve already accomplished the first step, which was to get what he wanted.

From now on, he must face my existence head-on.

Unless he defeats me, he will never achieve his goal!!!”

The trio returned to the inn and went upstairs to find several people already having dinner.

“You’re back, how did things turn out?” Gu Xiaorou stood up and came over to ask Lu Chuan.

“Everything…

went pretty smoothly, I guess.

The group that went over there, they weren’t hunting Demon Beasts; they were being used as fodder to feed the beasts.”

“They lost many people, and it was only after I intervened that the Demon Beast was driven away.”

Upon hearing this, Jyang Ran couldn’t help but curl his lip, “Your skills have declined, huh?

How come you let an enemy go?”

“That guy is Lu Fu’s mount, capable of shape-shifting into a human, and then he fled away instantly.

Once he took human form, his speed increased manifold.

I couldn’t catch up in the dense forest, so I let that bastard escape.”

Lu Chuan pulled up a chair and sat down.

“So, you got nothing out of this venture?” Jyang Ran continued to ask.

“Of course not, I got the biggest prize: this Lingzhi.

This must be the material that Lu Fu was looking for, I guess.”

“He will definitely know that the Lingzhi is now in my hands.

From now on, he has to face me and get the Lingzhi back from me.”

“Otherwise, he will have failed his mission!”

Only then did Jyang Ran cheer up, “Great!

Let’s just eat the Lingzhi and his mission will definitely fail!”

“We don’t yet know what’s the deal with this Lingzhi; better not to eat it, in case we can’t withstand it and it becomes lethal.”

“Ah…

alright then.”
