Chapter 496: Chapter 498: A Family of Three (Part Two)
Suddenly, Qingshi’s pupils constricted. He desperately tried to enhance his own strength, but found that he couldn’t muster any within his body.
This realization frightened Qingshi.
“No!”
As he saw the young man approaching him, Qingshi let out a heart-wrenching scream, and streaks of blood appeared in his blood-red eyes.
“Spare me, please spare me…”
For some reason, Qingshi clearly felt that this young man was stronger than him. Just the title of a “thousand-year-old monster” was enough to terrify him.
He had only lived for a little over a hundred years; how could he compare with such an ancient monster?
“Mother, the scene below is a bit bloody, so I will take care of it elsewhere, so as not to offend your eyes,” Zi Qianjing said, his eyes slightly narrowed and a cold smirk on his lips.
Mu Ruyue’s eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the young man in front of her.
So this was the child she had with Wuchen in a previous life; their child had grown so big and was so outstanding.
She couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.
“Okay.”
She nodded gently.
Ever since she arrived in Central Province, Mu Ruyue had been on edge. Now, at last, she could relax a little…
Zi Qianjing lifted Qingshi by the collar, and his silver robe streaked across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone’s sight…
It wasn’t until the two had vanished that Mu Ruyue turned to a surprised Xiao Feng and Yao Yunqing and said, “Big brother, sister-in-law, I know you’re very puzzled. Once we return to Saint Realm, I will explain everything to you…”
Yao Yunqing’s face flushed with shyness when she heard herself being called sister-in-law, casting a coy glance at Xiao Feng beside her.
At that moment, Xiao Feng also happened to look toward her. Their eyes met, and she quickly averted her gaze, her heart fluttering wildly…
“Sister, when shall we go back?” Xiao Feng turned his head to look at Mu Ruyue, his eyes filled with indulgence, “It’s been so long since we’ve been home, father and mother must miss us a lot.”
“We’ll go back once Wuchen appears,” Mu Ruyue lifted her gaze to the dark moon, “It’s been so long; he should be here by now…”
In contrast to Xiao Feng and Yao Yunqing, the members of the Xiao Family were completely dumbfounded.
Today’s events were completely beyond their expectations. No one anticipated that Mu Ruyue would possess strength comparable to the Dark Origin Realm, let alone that she had a powerful son who had lived for over a thousand years.
Could this be any more terrifying?
Thinking this, they shivered. Their greatest fear was Mu Ruyue settling scores with them. Fortunately, in the end, the three of them didn’t even glance at them, returning to their respective rooms as if ignoring their existence.
After a long while, a faint voice was heard.
“Alchemy Tower’s hundred-man squad, see the guests out. From now on, whoever steps into the Alchemy Tower without permission, kill without mercy!”
At the utterance of “kill without mercy,” everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They didn’t even wait for the hundred-man squad to make a move before hastily leaving the Xiao Family’s premises…
That night.
The moonlight was like water.
Mu Ruyue was fast asleep when she suddenly felt a weight press down on her. A body was on top of her, which startled her so much that she immediately opened her eyes and kicked out.
A muffled sound followed, and then a man’s voice, deliberately lowered, said, “Muer, do you want your husband to be childless and grandchildless!”
Mu Ruyue paused for a moment before she could make out the man who was on top of her.
But at this moment, the man was so pained that his face had lost all color, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He held his lower body, teeth clenched, and said, “Why did you have to kick there? If you’re not careful, our happy marital life might be over.”
