Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1823 A Modification And Surprise

Hearing that the crown princess wanted Lin Mu to Kill Yao Changying right away, he was rather taken aback. After all, it was quite literally against the rules of the tournament.

Then there was the fact that the Crown Prince Feng and Crown Princess Shang were both from the Immortal Court. For them to offend the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts that had direct links to the Immortal court simply didn't make sense.

But he didn't reply to her right away, wondering if she had more to say. Ten seconds passed like this in silence before he heard her laugh.

"Hahaha, I'm joking." Crown Princess Shang laughed. "Can't I even tease you a bit?"

"<nulli>Haa~ Princess…" Lin Mu let out a breath of relief upon hearing that.

He had almost wondered if the Crown Princess was a bit insane.

"I know it is against the rules to kill her. Besides, she'll be dying, eventually." The Crown Princess clarified. "You weakening her and fighting her should be good enough for later." She added.

"I see… though I reckon you won't be able to do it here… in the Rust Sky world." Lin Mu wondered if they would take the risk of doing so.

"You are correct. Fighting and killing Yao Changying anywhere on the Rust Sky world would be a massive diplomatic issue." Crown Prince Feng spoke up. "In fact, it's as simple as giving an order for me to have her killed here. But the consequences of it would be a war." He said casually.

Lin Mu could tell that while the Crown Prince seemed to be relaxed and casual from his behavior, it was merely a front. A mask he used to gain an advantage over people. It was something Lin Mu could understand very well.

"Well then… so you just asked me to meet you of this?" Lin Mu questioned, as it didn't seem necessary.

After all, all of this could have been said over the Communication Jade Slip too.

"Of course not." The Crown Princess shook her head. "Give me the bracelet I gave you." She asked.

Lin Mu raised his brows at that, but still gave it to her.

Crown Princess held the simple looking bracelet in her hand and took out another small bead. The bead was white colored and seemed like a pearl. Though looking at its texture, Lin Mu could tell it was a polished stone of some kind.

<nulli>~shua~

The Crown Princess held the bead against the bracelet before using a skill of hers. A small vine grew out of her sleeves before wrapping against the bracelet and the bead. It drilled through the bead and attached it permanently to the bracelet.

"Here you go," The Crown Princess handed the item back.

"What did you do to it?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Strengthened it a bit and added a little extra surprised for Yao Changying." The Crown Princess answered.

"Strengthened it? By how much?" Lin Mu raised his brow. "And what's the surprise?"

"Combined with the previous bracelets, it should reduce Yao Changying's strength by about 60%." Crown Princess Shang answered. "As for the surprise, let's just say I got a little inspiration from your companion Lu Xu… but it's no fun if you know it too. Just see it for yourself." She said with a sly smile.

"I'll look forward to it then." Lin Mu said with a helpless smile.

"Well, we won't take any more of your time. You can go prepared for the match." Crown Prince Feng stated. "I'll see you after the finals next."

"Very well, goodbye." Lin Mu bid both of them farewell before leaving.

Once Lin Mu was gone though, the Crown Prince and Princess talked amongst themselves.

"Was that necessary?" Crown Prince Feng asked with a smirk. "Teasing him?"

"What? It's hard to resist." The Crown Princess chuckled. "I haven't met anyone other than you that could keep his composure like that. All others just melt seeing my appearance."

"That… does seem true." The Crown Prince nodded his head. "Perhaps it really is, as Monk Hushu said. Mu Lin is meant for the Buddhist path." He added

"Hey! Don't let him turn into one of the celibate baldies!" The Crown Princess frowned childishly.

"That's up to Mu Lin. I can't do much about what he chooses, haha." The Crown Prince said before disappearing into thin air.

"Bah…" The Crown Princess shook her head as well and disappeared too.

Lin Mu who was on his way back to the Restaurant had no idea about their conversation. Instead, he was focused on the modified bracelet that now had a white bead added to it.

He used his Immortal sense to check it, but couldn't figure out much. There was a barrier present on it that prevented him from looking into any details.

'I can break the barrier but it'll also damage the bracelet,' Lin Mu thought. I guess this is a safety feature in case it is found by someone else. They won't know its real use that way.' He reckoned.

Soon enough, Lin Mu was back at the restaurant and told his companions about the modified bracelet.

They were surprised that he had been invited by the Crown Prince to meet. But they were also pleased that the bracelet was strengthened further. It just meant that their previous failure could be negated to a certain extent.

Four more hours passed as the night rolled in and then another 7 hours later, it was daybreak.

It was the Day of the Semifinals and the people were very excited about the first match that was between Childe Wildfire and third Prince Feng Baxing.

Lin Mu and his companions also watched it eagerly, wondering just how it would go.

'With Childe Wildfire's breakthrough, he is technically above the third Prince in terms of cultivation base. But will that really help him?' Lin Mu wondered as he waited for the match to finally start.

Millions of eyes watched as the two contestants were finally teleported into the Spatial Plane.
