Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 398 Jade Essence Appears in the Divine Mountain River

Mo Kan didn't care what Chu Chen thought. After eating his fill, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Chen walked to the wall, opened the small hole, and began to observe the situation outside.

The yeti that had been running around like madmen now seemed to be exhausted and stopped moving in place.

It was digging something in the middle of the stream with its sharp claws.

Slowly, one by one, they carried the food in their mouths and walked away into the distance.

But they were too far away to see clearly what they were carrying. Just as Chu Chen was about to take out his binoculars...

Suddenly, Mo Kan, who was standing behind him, woke up at some point and said, "Brother Chu, you're still awake? What's so interesting about that thing outside?"

"Okay, I'll go to sleep now!"

Chu Chen turned around, smiled, and walked towards the table.

Asking him to share a bed with that burly man Mo Kan? Forget it, that's dangerous!

The next morning, Chu Chen opened the door to the hill and went outside to breathe in the fresh air.

After stretching slightly, Chu Chen walked towards the riverbank he had seen last night.

On the riverbank, Chu Chen watched in confusion as the water flowed to the other side.

The river was shallow, but crystal clear, and the patterns on the stones at the bottom were clearly visible.

He reached out and touched the river water; it was icy cold. Chu Chen stayed in it for a short while before retreating.

"You're up pretty early. Did you see it last night?"

Just then, a pleasant voice entered Chu Chen's ears.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen turned around and saw that Mo Yun had appeared behind him at some point.

"Holy crap, you scared me to death! You walked without making a sound?"

"Hehe, your sister means you no harm, don't worry!"

Sister? After hearing this, Chu Chen recalled what Xiao Si had said about Mo Yun's age, and how even the robust and mature Mo Kan was addressed as "aunt," and a chill ran down his spine.

"Uh, I see it. Brother Mo Kan said it's a snow monster. Miss Mo Yun, what exactly is this snow monster?"

"Oh, it seems Young Master Chu is also interested in that thing?"

Looking at Chu Chen, who seemed quite interested, Mo Yun asked leisurely.

"Look, such a beautiful place, but we can't go out at night. What a waste of the beautiful moonlight and the cool breeze at night."

Chu Chen smirked and blurted out those words.

"Hahaha, a man who is promiscuous and has many wives and concubines still needs the beauty of the moonlight."

"Speak, what is your purpose in coming here?"

As she spoke, Mo Yun walked towards the river. Suddenly, she took off her shoes and stepped into the river.

Immediately afterwards, she scooped up a handful of water and gulped it down.

"Haha, speak up, what's wrong? A real man, can't you even speak your mind?"

After Mo Yun finished speaking, she picked up a stone from the river and threw it at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen reached out and caught the stone.

"Hehe, as for my purpose, would you believe me if I said it was simply out of curiosity?"

"Look at the stone in your hand, do you think I'd believe that?"

Mo Yun gave Chu Chen a cold look, then pointed to the stone in his hand and said.

Chu Chen then looked down, but then his eyelids twitched.

Mo Yun casually picked up a stone from the river, which turned out to be the jade essence he had been searching for.

But Chu Chen remained calm and said, "Heh, it's just a broken rock, what's so special about it!"

"Come on, stop pretending. Do you really think we're out of touch with what's happening outside just because we can't get out?"

"Who doesn't know the legendary Young Master Chu, who single-handedly destroyed two kingdoms, all for this stone, the jade essence you speak of!"

Chu Chen initially thought it was the drunkard who told her, but after thinking about their stronghold in Yunbian City, she instantly understood.

It's not surprising that others would find out about my high-profile search for jade essence.

So he simply admitted it: "If we didn't have a goal before, now we do. Let's find a place to talk about it?"

Chu Chen tossed the stone in his hand and said.

“Good, smart. Let’s go!” Mo Yun returned to the shore and led Chu Chen toward the hill where she lived.

In the hill, the two sat down as host and guest, with the young lady standing behind Mo Yun.

But the drunkard was no longer on the bed.

Chu Chen immediately tensed up, pointing at Mo Yun's bed and saying, "Where's my brother? Why isn't he here?"

"Don't worry, he's mine. Let's talk about us!"

Mo Yun turned to look at the bed, a blush flashing across her face before she quickly regained her composure and spoke.

"Hehe, speak up. Since we're all smart people, tell me, what do you want from me?"

"We need to leave this place, or we need our night back!"

Mo Yun was very decisive, so decisive that Chu Chen felt it was somewhat unreal.

She didn't see Mo Kan when she woke up this morning, probably because he went to tell her about their conversation last night.

But since they are bound by this world, what help can I possibly offer?

And what makes them think they can defeat the Yeti and give them back the night?

But he still stated his conditions: "Why do you think I have this ability? And what can I get in return?"

"Haha, Young Master Chu, haven't you always wanted jade essence? You can't even imagine how much jade essence there is on this sacred mountain."

"But if you help me, all of this is yours!"

"Then what do you need me to do?" Chu Chen said casually.

"I believe Young Master Chu is also aware that there is a token with the character for 'beast' on it and a secret manual that have been lost in this world."

"It is said that whoever finds this item will be able to break through this world and go wherever they want."

"Only those legendary figures could ascend to such heights to paint a portrait of my sacred mountain. I'm sure Young Master Chu knows where they are and where the item is."

The Beast-Character Token and the Secret Manual—these two things are just lying quietly in their own space.

But I've studied that thing a lot, and I still don't understand it.

So he shook his head and said, "I guess Miss Moyun has misunderstood. I am not some legendary person."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun frowned instantly. Could it be that Xiao Si had misread it, or was he lying to her?

But Xiao Si has been with me for so many years, he has learned a lot, and he is loyal enough, so this shouldn't be the case.

So he said, "Young Master Chu, may I see the portrait of my sacred mountain?"

Chu Chen, seemingly unconcerned, took out the laptop from his backpack, opened the photo, and placed it in front of her.

"You mean this?"

Mo Yun took the laptop and looked at the picture with some surprise: "That's right, this is it, young master. How did you obtain this? It is extremely important to our sacred mountain!"

Ever since he saw the jade essence in the river, Chu Chen had never thought of hiding it.

How could he possibly find out the whereabouts of the jade essence without giving this woman a little something in return?
