MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter

Chapter 626: The Passage to the Nine Great Temples

Sizzle...

A piece of dragon meat was sizzling and becoming golden brown as its fat melted being cooked under the heat of the Ghost-White Heavenly Ice-fire.

The wonderful aroma of the meat tempted Jiang Feng’s sense of smell.

Perhaps the smell was too strong and tempting, Murong Xiaoxiao slightly held up her head as she sniffed, and looked at the golden dragon meat that Jiang Feng was grilling.

He glanced at Murong Xiaoxiao and when the dragon meat was almost done, he shredded a piece and threw it into his mouth, and started chewing.

Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on learning the Cooking skill.

Ding. System Prompt. Sacred Health maximum +1,000.

T/L Note: There seems to be a bug here. Jiang Feng should have already learned the cooking skill in C602 through a scroll. Seems like the author forgot about it.

He did not expect that simply grilling a lump of dragon meat would have taught him the cooking skill. The dragon meat that he had finished grilling even gave some buffs.

Perhaps it was because of the cooking skill, the dragon meat that was still being grilled let out an even stronger smell. He could even hear Murong Xiaoxiao gulping.

“You want to have some?”

Jiang Feng looked at Murong Xiaoxiao and smiled, and then gave her a piece of dragon meat.

Murong Xiaoxiao looked at the dragon meat in front of her. To tell the truth, she was quite tempted.

While one would not feel hunger if one were to eat before getting into the game, but fighting in the game would decrease one’s hunger. Not to mention that she had been stuck in this place ever since she got to Silvermoon, she had yet to have the chance to experience what dragon meat tasted like.

She had also never eaten any food that had been cooked. She would usually go offline and eat something to restore her hunger meter.

But what kind of food had she not tasted with her status in the real world? What kind of food did she not have enough of?

That was why the piece of dragon meat was so tempting to her now.

“Hmph!”

But when she remembered how Jiang Feng had seen her body and was even killed by him once, she snorted coldly and looked away as she could still feel the ire in her heart.

If she had the ability to kill Jiang Feng, she would probably kill him immediately and steal his food.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that she could do to him.

His luck was already so low but he was still able to kill her. If that was the case, no matter how many times she tried, she would never be able to kill him.

That was because currently, she could only reduce her enemies’ Luck and had no other noteworthy abilities.

“It was an accident that I saw you bathing. I was fighting with King Zhou and I was randomly teleported here using my skills. I didn’t expect that there would be any other players here, and I certainly didn’t expect that someone would take a bath here, so...” Explained Jiang Feng as he ate the dragon meat.

In truth, it was pointless for him to give an explanation, but he had taken a liking to Murong Xiaoxiao’s class. Not to mention that it would be better for him to have an extra friend instead of a foe, especially when the said foe was so overpowered.

Murong Xiaoxiao waited for him to finish his explanation. She looked at him in shock as she brushed her tears away and asked, “Fighting with King Zhou? You are the Shifter Emperor?!”

Jiang Feng was speechless for a moment and asked, “You only just figured out that I am the Shifter Emperor?”

“Yes,” Murong Xiaoxiao nodded. But when she remembered what happened earlier, she snorted, “But I never thought that the Shifter Emperor would be a pervert!”

“Seriously, can we not talk about this? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about it.” Jiang Feng rolled his eyes.

T/L Notes: Trust me, no one wants to remember what had just happened. Among other things.

“You said that you were teleported randomly? Then you must have a way to teleport. If you bring me along and swear that you’ll not tell a soul about what happened today, I’ll forgive you.” Murong Xiaoxiao said expectantly.

“Alright.”

Taking Murong Xiaoxiao along with him when he leaves was not something difficult. As soon as the cooldown of the Space Tunnel skill had elapsed, he could then take her along. As for the latter, he would only keep it to himself. He would not share it with anyone else.

When she saw that Jiang Feng had agreed to it, Murong Xiaoxiao then grabbed the dragon meat in his hand and began enjoying her meal.

“Hey, you didn’t want to eat it when I offered it to you, and now you are grabbing it from me?” Jiang Feng said, irritated.

“Don’t forget that you killed me once. This dragon meat is your compensation,” Murong Xiaoxiao said.

Ho. Women!

As Murong Xiaoxiao was eating the dragon meat, he then asked, “Speaking of which, how did you end up in this place?”

Murong Xiaoxiao was taking a bite of the dragon meat as she said, “I came to Silvermoon using the ship. But I was harassed when I was on the ship, so I jumped down in annoyance and then ended up here. I even managed to get the inheritance of the Goddess of Luck. However, I can never get out of here if I do not complete my quest, and others cannot leave as well.”

“That means that you have been staying here all this while?”

“Yes!”

“Then how did your level and power get so high?”

“There is a mountain behind the bamboo forest and there are plenty of powerful monsters. I got my levels up by killing them.”

“Then what is your quest?”

...

He then chatted with Murong Xiaoxiao for a long time.

Originally, he was going to leave once the Space Tunnel skill’s cooldown had elapsed. But when he heard about Murong Xiaoxiao’s quest, he chose to stay.

He was going to help her complete her quest because he was very interested in it.

That was because Murong Xiaoxiao’s quest was to comprehend the Demesne of Luck.

And he also found out from Murong Xiaoxiao that there was a passageway here that would lead him to the Nine Great Temples, and he could go in once a day, two hours each time. That was much longer than the time he was allowed to enter when he was ranked the first in the Saint Leaderboard.

He could only enter once every month, and two hours every time.

Meanwhile, Murong Xiaoxiao could enter thirty times a month, and two hours every time. The difference between them was obvious.

Murong Xiaoxiao had already stayed here for several months and she had already obtained 100,000 slivers of the Law of the Demesne of Luck. But she had yet to comprehend the Demesne of Luck.

“The Goddess of Luck told me that the more powerful a Demesne is, the more Laws one would need to collect. In order to fully comprehend the Nine Greatest Demesnes, I would need at least two hundred thousand slivers of laws. While the Demesne of Luck is not one of the Nine Great Demesnes, but it is still one of the top ten Demesnes, therefore I would still need to collect two-hundred thousand slivers before I can comprehend my Demesne!” Murong Xiaoxiao said to Jiang Feng.

“The Demesne of Luck is the next demesne after the Nine Great Demesnes, so it is one of the top ten Demesnes. Can you bring me to the passage toward the Nine Great Temples?” Jiang Feng asked Murong Xiaoxiao.

As long as he could enter the Nine Great Temples, it would not be long before he had the chance to form the Demesne of Time or Demesne of Space.

Once he had given form to the two great demesnes and increased his power, perhaps he had the chance of defeating King Zhou.

“I can bring you over, but you have to help me forge a set of Goddess of Luck’s equipment!” Murong Xiaoxiao was no idiot, so she naturally knew the benefits of being able to enter the Nine Great Temples. Naturally, she would ask for some help from the very rich Jiang Feng.

“In the past, I heard from a group of friends saying that you are a monkey with very high-level Forging skills, and even managed to forge a Post-Creation Absolute Artifact. My request is quite simple, I only want a set of equipment that is Rank Five Sacred Artifact or higher!”

Jiang Feng lowered his head and gave it a thought before ultimately agreeing to Murong Xiaoxiao’s request.

If he really could enter the Nine Great Temples, he was not going to leave before comprehending the Demesne of Time or Demesne of Space.

So, it was actually quite worth it if he had to forge a set of equipment for her as a reward.
