She had information she could use against that woman. If she were to use it, even if that woman had no memory of her past life right now, she would still be able to coerce her.
Feng Jing Tian looked gloomily at her. "I don't have any intention of cooperating with someone like you."
"Why?" asked Nangong Zi Feng with a drastic change in her expression.
'Why is he unwilling to cooperate with me?'
"I don't feel safe working with you. Moreover, I don't know when you will stab me in the back."
Feng Jing Tian had been apprehensive ever since he first glanced at this woman. That's why, he would never work with her, and even felt disdain for the idea.
Finished answering, he didn't bother to even look again at Nangong Zi Feng, who had a frosty expression, and just disappeared from the summit of the mountain in a flash.
Nangong Zi Feng clenched her fists tightly. Her face turned increasingly colder. Even after a while, she still remained silent as she gazed coldly in the direction Feng Jing Tian had vanished from…
Mu Ru Yue and Ye Wu Chen caused an uproar. They became known as the divine couple. In comparison with the bustling Xiao family, the Wu family of South Island was obviously much gloomier.
Perhaps due to the strength of the Xiao family's influence and Wu Qing Xue being the benefactor of Xiao Feng, the Xiao family didn't attack the Wu family, but Lin Yue, who had nearly killed Xiao Feng, was dealt with.
However, what happened at the wedding event spread throughout the entire South Island, so they all knew about the foolish things the Wu family did. Thus, they ridiculed the Wu family, with some families even harassing them in order to curry favour with the Xiao family.
The Xiao family didn't do anything, but the Wu family was ruined nonetheless. There wouldn't be a chance for them to ascend in the future, making the father and daughter pair feel extremely remorseful.
If she hadn't forsaken Xiao Feng , then by now, Wu Qing Xue would have been the young mistress of the Xiao family, and the Wu family's status would have risen alongside hers. It was a pity that all their regret was useless…
Some of their current condition had already reached the Xiao family. They didn't need to be clearly told to know that those families were intentionally trying to curry favour with them. Madam Sheng Yue just chuckled after hearing the report. She didn't want to move against the Wu family due to her gratitude for them saving Xiao Feng's life. But as to what would happen to the Wu family later, she wouldn't be like a goddess that would meddle in such matters.
Even though the Wu family did save Xiao Feng, in the end, they also allowed someone threaten her son's life.
"Yue Er, it has been some time since you and Wu Chen have married. Is there any news…" Madam Sheng Yue's gaze swept toward Mu Ru Yue's middle, an ambiguous smile on her face.
She had stopped Qing Qing from disturbing them in their bridal room as she wanted to carry her grandchild as soon as possible. She hoped her daughter and son-in-law would step up their game, since it had already been such a long time since she felt the tender and soft feel of a baby.
Awkwardness showed on Mu Ru Yue's face. "Mother, how can it be that quick? It hadn't even been half a month since we wedded. By the way, we may leave for a period of time."
Madam Sheng Yue's smile dimmed a little, a trace of reluctance appeared in her eyes as she inquired, "Where are you heading to?"
"The Central Region."
That place was somewhere she should head to.
Mu Ru Yue chuckled lightly. "Don't worry. I will be back real soon. I need to solve some mysteries there and afterwards, I will come back home."
Bai Ze's sorrowful eyes appeared in her mind at that moment. She kept feeling like she knew the man for some reason…
"Yue Er, you must stay safe while you are outside no matter what. You know your family will be waiting for you in the Xiao family of Sheng Domain. This place will forever be your home and will always be your support."
Madam Sheng Yue's words warmed Mu Ru Yue's heart. She nodded with a smile. "I know that. Mother, I also plan to bring the Massacre The Heavens Sect to Sheng Domain in order to let them train in the sacred spirit spring after I depart."
(Teaser)
She had information that could be used against that woman. If she were to take it out, then that woman would still feel threatened by her, even if she currently had no memory of her past life.
Feng Jing Tian looked gloomily at her. "I don't have any intention of cooperating with someone like you."
"Why?" asked Nangong Zi Feng with a drastic change in her expression.
Miki helped Feng Jing Tian reply in his voice, hiding behind his back, "Do you even need to ask that? It is because you reek of being a bitch, even if I don't know you well."
When Feng Jing Tian heard his voice behind him, he turned around but saw nothing.
Miki, who was hiding in her special dimension space, giggled at his confused appearance.
Nangong Zi Feng, who thought that Feng Jing Tian had insulted her, had her eyes frosted over. If looks could kill, Feng Jing Tian would have been six feet underground.
Madam Sheng Yue nodded and chuckled. "It won't be a problem. I will have Elder Xiao help out. Yue Er, you must have been tired lately, rest up."
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything else and just nodded slightly. She had indeed been tired these past few days, and Ye Wu Chen was entirely at fault…
The night seemed exceptionally silent, with the moonlight like water entering a trail.
Suddenly, a voice transmitted viciously into Mu Ru Yue's mind, alarming her so her complexion paled.
"Mu Ru Yue, if you still want to see your son from your previous life, come to the South Mountain and meet me! You must come by yourself. Otherwise, you will never be able to see him in this life."
'Son?'
She didn't know why, but that word made her heart throb in pain. A scene appeared in her mind:
As the purple lightning covering the sky came crashing down, the hazy appearance of a purple-clad figure and a white-clad figure fighting against it became visible. And then, a cute boy with all his limbs amputated was thrown at them. His life force gradually dissipated as his blood flowed out.
Seeing the child, the two lost their focus and will to fight so they couldn't withstand the heaven's tyrannical lightning, resulting in their annihilation…
This scene was unusually familiar to her, as though she had experienced it personally.
Mu Ru Yue shuddered slightly. She didn't know why the sorry state of that cute boy lying in his own blood made her heart ache with pain like a knife was forcefully gouging it out.
"South Mountain!"
Mu Ru Yue clenched her fist before looking at her room. Apologizing in her heart, she left the Xiao family.
Although she was feeling incredibly uneasy, she still had to go there no matter what danger she had to face.
On South Mountain, Nangong Zi Feng spat out a mouthful of blood then smiled peculiarly. "The price of preventing elder brother Wu Chen from hearing my soul-transmitted voice is really high. It will take a while for the damage to my soul to heal, but this will be worth it. No matter what the price is, I'll pay for it so long as I can finally deal with her."
If she hadn't done that, then her soul transmission would have been intercepted by Wu Chen, making everything lose its meaning…
She suddenly felt a familiar aura coming toward her. When she raised her head, she saw a young girl approaching her. With a cold laugh, she said, "I knew you would definitely come and as expected, you did. Mu Ru Yue, even if you lost your memory, you won't be able to ignore matters concerning your previous life: such as Bai Ze and that cute little child…"
Mu Ru Yue stood silently on the mountain peak as she looked stoically at Nangong Zi Feng. She had indeed come due to the anxiety she felt.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I have no impression about what you said. I just want to know, why have you called me here?"
"I want you to leave elder brother Wu Chen." Nangong Zi Feng sneered. "You just need to leave elder brother Wu Chen, and I will guarantee your son won't be harmed."
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything for a moment; no ripple appeared in her eyes.
"I won't leave Wu Chen just as I won't let your sinister plot succeed!"
Her voice sounded so resolute that it made Nangong Zi Feng's heart shudder.
This woman's personality was still the same as in her previous life—never acceding to any threat. It seemed reincarnation was unable to change that.
"Hahaha!" She laughed heartily all of a sudden. "Mu Ru Yue, I knew you would respond like that, but did you really think you have a choice? The stupidest decision you could have ever made was coming here today. Do you think you can still leave this place? I've already set up a trap as I was waiting for you. Haha!"
Mu Ru Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and replied stoically, "I know that, and still I came. I will find the boy's location, and also continue to stay with Wu Chen."
It was a risky decision she had made this time, but she didn't regret it…
Nangong Zi Feng sniggered. This girl was indeed powerful in her previous life, but the disparity between her past and current powers was too much. She was no longer that peerless expert in the Chi Zha Central Region.
Right now, she was just a soft fruit that could be squashed at any time.
"Mu Ru Yue, I will make you leave elder brother Wu Chen at any cost!" Nangong Zi Feng's body moved in a flash, a coat of freezing aura around her palm striking at Mu Ru Yue.
Mu Ru Yue didn't have time to speak and just stared at Nangong Zi Feng. The instant the palm hit her body, the bone piercing cold turned her complexion pale.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood landed on Nangong Zi Feng's face.
Nangong Zi Feng wiped off the blood, with disgust. Like a powerful tempest, her body released a frosty aura which coated the surrounding grasses and trees with a layer of ice.
Her jade-like hand repeatedly struck the young girl, who was overwhelmed by her aura and was forced to retreat till the edge of the seemingly bottomless cliff. As she focused on Nangong Zi Feng, Mu Ru Yue's eyes suddenly lit up.
However, that light disappeared so quickly that Nangong Zi Feng didn't even notice it…
Seeing the previously powerful Senior Yue now—a young girl whom she could pressure to such a sorry state—Nangong Zi Feng laughed with pride and a touch of hysteria. But then Mu Ru Yue suddenly leaped up and threw white powder at her.
Nan Gong Zi Feng's expression changed drastically. She heard the young girl's cold voice say, "I've just gotten the information I wanted."
As the white powder scattered in the wind, the young girl's white clothes fluttered, and a cold curve of the lips appeared on her exceptional face.
"What did you just do?" Nangong Zi Feng asked, gritting her teeth with a great change in her expression.
Mu Ru Yue looked at her and replied, "It's just a powder—which helped me use my mental power to look through your memories. A pity that my current level is insufficient for a thorough search. Fortunately, I still got the answers I needed. Nangong Zi Feng, this is the real reason why I came to see you."
Nangong Zi Feng's expression stiffened. She had really underestimated this woman. But so what? Today would still be the day of her death…
"Do you think you can leave? Mu Ru Yue, since you've come, the only way out is death! Hahaha!"
Boom!
Suddenly, the originally peaceful South Mountain blazed with fire engulfed the entirety of South Mountain. It made the dark night as bright as day.
But these flames didn't give off any scorching heat, just a feeling of iciness…
At a faraway mountain range, Yan Jin stopped what he was doing, his black robes fluttering in the wind. He shifted his gaze in the direction of the Xiao family of Xiao City, with his sword-like brows furrowed tightly. The unease in his heart seemed to want to engulf him from within.
"It seems like something has happened to the little girl. But with that person by her side, how could she be in danger?"
Yet, the unease in his heart was so intense, it was unbearable…
[Hey all, Miki had decidedly to change the sound effect 'Hong!' to 'Boom!' as it seems to be confusing some people of what it means XD]
Inside the Xiao family, Ye Wu Chen's steps faltered, his handsome face going pale under the moonlight. His heart ached abruptly, as though he was losing something…
"Mu Er!"
The man clenched his fist tightly as cold sweat started to form on his forehead. "Something must have happened to Mu Er…"
Only she could evoke such a feeling in him.
Fire…
Icy sky blue flames rose. Inside those flames, she felt like her body didn't belong to herself.
She definitely couldn't die here, with her family and her beloved waiting for her in the Xiao family.
"Mu Ru Yue, go die! Hahaha!"
Nangong Zi Feng's hearty laughter permeated the sky.
The sky blue flames, accompanied by the crazed laughter, became increasingly violent and made Mu Ru Yue feel as if endless frost were wrapping around her.
Yet, it definitely wasn't in Mu Ru Yue's personality to sit still and do nothing.
A few glimmers of light danced in her eyes as she turned her head toward the cliff behind her. If she were to jump down the cliff, she would have a chance of survival. Otherwise, she would definitely die under this malevolent woman's hand.
Power. She was still too weak to keep being pressured. If she possessed a strong enough power, then this woman wouldn't be a threat to her.
"Nangong Zi Feng, I, Mu Ru Yue, will definitely carve this grudge from today into my heart. I will definitely pay you back for this someday!"
Puff!
Mu Ru Yue's chest was struck by an ice blue flame struck which sent her flying toward the cliff. Simultaneously, she consumed a pill then closed her eyes slowly…
Nangong Zi Feng frowned slightly as she watched the young girl falling down the cliff.
She was a cautious person so Mu Ru Yue and her corpse must disappear from the world. She wanted to cremate her into ashes to eliminate the possibility of future problems arising.
Just as she wanted to give chase, a familiar figure came over rapidly. Nangong Zi Feng's heart shook. She hastily withdrew the blue flames that covered South Mountain and a ray of light shone in her eyes.
"Nangong Zi Feng!"
Before her, a furious roar that filled the heavens was heard. Under the moon, a purple clad figure soared through the sky and landed before Nangong Zi Feng. Boundless killing intent surged from his eyes.
'I… am I still too late?'
"Where is Mu Er?"
Ye Wu Chen's heart shuddered as unprecedented fear overwhelmed his heart, giving him a domineering aura that lowered the temperature of the night.
Nangong Zi Feng bit her lips. With glimmering eyes, she replied, "She eloped with Feng Jing Tian, and I saw it coincidentally. But this is great. As with this, elder brother Wu Chen will be mine, so I didn't stop them…"
Upon saying that, she raised her head to look at Ye Wu Chen emotionally. This was the man she loved for two of her lives.
"Elder brother Wu Chen, what is so good about that slut? She will only cheat on you. I just heard her say that she actually loved a man like Feng Jing Tian, but your power was stronger so she chose to be with you. She doesn't have the right to be with you. Only I can be compatible with elder brother Wu Chen in this world."
Nangong Zi Feng gritted her teeth as she said each word emphatically.
As a person who lived two lives, she still couldn't understand why elder brother Wu Chen was still unwilling to give her a glance. Senior Yue was extremely outstanding in her previous life, but her power was too negligible now…
(Teaser)
Ye Wu Chen halted his steps inside the Xiao family. Under the moonlight, the complexion of his handsome face whitened. His heart ached abruptly, as though he was losing something…
"Mu Er!"
The man clenched his fist tightly as cold sweat started to form on his forehead. "Something must have happened to Mu Er…"
When he was worried, the person of his target of worry was sunbathing at the beach and had a cold drink in her hand (In modern time).
Miki was lying beside her, enjoying herself with Mu Ru Yue.
Miki asked, "Hey Mu Ru Yue, do you like here? Why don't you continue to stay here then?
"Elder brother Wu Chen." Nangong Zi Feng didn't seem to see the flames of anger his purple eyes were emitting as she walked slowly toward him. With eyes filled with feelings, she continued, "If you marry me, I promise I won't cheat on you. I am better than that despicable woman Mu Ru Yue by several times. She has had such fickle feelings and doesn't have the right to marry you.
"I don't care if you have any sexual relations with other women or men. I will give you the dignity of a man and allow you to obtain your just desserts. Mu Ru Yue has always forbidden you from taking in other wives as she doesn't love you. If a person really loves another, she will accept anything her beloved does, even if it let her down. Moreover, she will also be willing to share her husband with other girls due to true love."
Actually, it wasn't that Nangong Zi Feng didn't care, just that she understood what kind of woman a man needed.
As a man, how could one not have an affair? Men love to have a change in taste after having dined on a woman often enough. It was a common thing among all men that they loved a kind and diligent woman to stay and tend well to their home for them. It was only the possessive Mu Ru Yue who clung selfishly onto elder brother Wu Chen.
If it wasn't for her, why would she be alone at the end of her previous life?
Hence, her hatred for Mu Ru Yue didn't fade after so many years had passed.
Boom!
Ye Wu Chen raised his hand and a black ray of light shot out from his sleeve.
Puuff!
It pierced through Nangong Zi Feng's chest. Multiple sinister winds struck against her body and she didn't have any chance of fighting back.
Tchw!
Nangong Zi Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as her body was sent flying backward. She stared in astonishment at Ye Wu Chen. The pain in her heart made her clawed the ground viciously.
"I, Ye Wu Chen, will only belong to Mu Ru Yue in this life and for eternity."
It wasn't that Mu Ru Yue was his woman, but that he was her man.
The tone of his voice was enough to express Mu Ru Yue's position in his heart.
He was willing to abandon the world and everything. The sole thing he couldn't abandon was just that woman. He had even wanted to scrap his power to protect her. What more could be said about his feelings for her?
Even if she could be exchanged for the world, he wouldn't accept that. There were countless women in the world, but he was only willing to have one his entire life and for all eternity,
"Where is Mu Er?!" Ye Wu Chen's gaze turned gloomy. The Devil's Snare pattern on his face made him look increasingly demonic. His purple eyes gazed coldly at Nangong Zi Feng as he shouted with killing intent bursting forth, "Don't make Ben Wang ask that again!"
Nangong Zi Feng's heart hurt unbearably.
The man she was so deeply in love with treated her in such a fashion, all for another girl…
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, she raised her head and laughed crazily. Sorrow could be heard in her laughter. "Ye Wu Chen, she has already died. She died under my Ghost Flames. Hahaha! So what if you are deeply in love with her? She has already died and vanished from this world. You will never be able to be with her again!"
'Since he didn't believe that she had eloped with someone, I will make him think that she had died.'
Even if it was hatred, this man would remember her, Nangong Zi Feng, throughout his life…
Ye Wu Chen didn't say anything. His purple eyes were terrifyingly gloomy in this dark night. His body burst forth with a domineering aura, and his killing intent pervaded out, making Nangong Zi Feng feel as though her life wasn't in her hands.
(Teaser)
"Elder brother Wu Chen." Nangong Zi Feng didn't seem to see the flames of anger emitting from his purple eyes as she walked slowly toward him. With eyes filled with feelings, she continued, "If you marry me, I promise I won't cheat on you. I am better than that despicable woman Mu Ru Yue by several times. She has had such fickle feelings and doesn't have the right to marry you.
"I don't care if you have any sexual intercourse with other women or men. I will give you the dignity of a man and allow you to obtain your just deserts.

Moreover, she will also be willing to share to her husband with other girls due to true love."
Actually, it wasn't that Nangong Zi Feng didn't care, just that she understood what kind of woman a man needed. [Miki: adds in her delusional mindset. If she really thinks that, then why did she try to kill off MRY?]
Boom!
Booooom!
The man didn't kill Nangong Zi Feng immediately, but tortured her with blow after blow landing on her body. It was as though he wanted to vent his anger on her.
'This girl made a move on Mu Er!'
Regret, self-blame, sorrow, and despair filled the man's heart. He was too careless for not noticing Mu Er's departure. Otherwise, Mu Er wouldn't have been in danger.
'Everything was his fault!'
"Nangong Zi Feng, you ought to die! Even if your corpse were to be cut into countless pieces, you still wouldn't be comparable to a single hair of Mu Er's. Did you think I will remember you even if it was through eternal hatred? You are too stupid. You only make Ben Wang unable to be at peace forever!"
'Pain…'
Nangong Zi Feng felt bone shattering pain.
But her physical body's pain was incomparable to the pain of her heart. This man had really hurt her too deeply, but even so, she was still unable to hate him.
Hiss!
The immense pain made her take in a breath, but she couldn't do anything other than receive the blows that were covered with a layer of black light. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of her lips and her delicate body shuddered. Limitless sorrow and a thick layer of despair was expressed on her exceptional face.
'No! I can't die here!'
Nangong Zi Feng's heart was shrieking.
She knew that if she were to die, Ye Wu Chen would turn memories of her into ashes and have her disappear from the world, making himself unable to remember her. How could she be willing to have the man she was in love with forget her completely?
That pain would be unbearable…
"Bloodmist Technique? You want to use the same method to escape again? It is a pity that I won't allow the same mistake to occur twice!" Ye Wu Chen's purple eyes were increasingly cold and sinister. With a wave of his palm, he stopped Nangong Zi Feng from executing her secret technique.
If it wasn't for this woman escaping previously, Mu Er wouldn't be in danger.
Anyone that touched a single hair of Mu Er's would definitely pay for it with manifold suffering!
Despair was evident on Nangong Zi Feng's face. If she knew Ye Wu Chen would arrive so quickly, she definitely wouldn't have done such a risky thing today.
It was a pity no medicine existed that could treat regret in this world…
Suddenly, a sharp ray of light shot over from one side. Ye Wu Chen's gaze chilled as he raised his hand to block that light. Taking that opportunity, Nangong Zi Feng escaped from his hands and bit her tongue viciously to form a bloodmist.
When the night wind blew and the bloodmist scattered, the girl had already disappeared from the South Mountain…
Anger surged in Ye Wu Chen's eyes. He lifted his gaze to the figure which turned to run. All of his domineering aura burst forth. The Devil's Snare pattern that covered half of his face made him look as though he had just come out from hell. He looked sinisterly charming and mysterious…
"Sect leader of the Saintess Sect!"
This man had gone missing for such a long time and the members of Ghost Manor were unable to locate him. So, he had worked together with Nangong Zi Feng. Now, it was no longer a wonder why Nangong Zi Feng knew his situation so well.
He was the one behind Nangong Zi Feng's back!
"Darn!"
The sect leader was alarmed and turned pale. He had experienced Ye Wu Chen's power before. He wasn't a match for this man, so he wanted to escape after saving Nangong Zi Feng.
However, he didn't have the Bloodmist Technique Nangong Zi Feng possessed…
Purple robes soared through the sky and landed behind the sect leader. Ye Wu Chen mercilessly gripped the other's shoulder, and traces of sinister aura burst forth.
Hong!
A palm struck on the sect leader's shoulder with Ye Wu Chen's free hand.
(Teaser)
Boom!
Booooom!
The man didn't kill Nangong Zi Feng, but tortured her with blow after blow landing on the pale girl. It was as though he wanted to relieve his anger on her.
'This girl made a move on Mu Er!'
Regret, self-blame, sorrow, and despair filled the man's heart. He was too careless for not noticing Mu Er's departure. Otherwise, Mu Er wouldn't have been in danger.
The sect leader screamed as he felt heart-wrenching pain, turning around to strike a palm at Ye Wu Chen.
Ye Wu Chen didn't dodge it and instead went forth to counter the attack.
Pff~
His large hand penetrated the sect leader's chest, forcefully digging out a heart dripping with blood.
"Your life shall be your payment for rescuing Nangong Zi Feng!"
His voice was sinister and cold, full of killing intent.
The sect leader's eyes widened in astonishment. He hadn't expected that he wouldn't even have the chance to escape, thinking that he could at least keep his life.
Moreover, he hadn't yet figured out how Ye Wu Chen became so strong and would no longer have the life to think about that now. If he had a second chance, he would definitely stay out of Ye Wu Chen's sight forever.
Ye Wu Chen turned around slowly, looking at the silent night, with a heavy heart…
"Mu Er!"
His thoughts had been muddled with fury at the start, calming down only after violently beating up Nangong Zi Feng.
Even though it was faint, he could still feel that Mu Ru Yue was alive…
That was enough.
No matter where she was now, even if he had to scour every inch of the world, he would find her. And when he did, he wouldn't allow anyone to ever hurt her in the slightest…
Central Region.
A silver-robed youth stood on a nameless mountain. His lips curved in a gentle line on his handsome face. He didn't have looks as charming as Ye Wu Chen's, yet his lax and noble aura as well as his eyebrows raised in a smile were identical to the latter's.
"Ten years! It has been ten years since I've awakened. If it were to be counted based on the passage of time here, it should be about a thousand years. If aunt hadn't rescued me, I would probably be sealed in that place forever. Aunt had already left this place ten years ago to search for someone. I should also leave now…"
The youth had a faint smile, his ink-black hair fluttering in the wind. He raised his slender finger lightly to rub at his jaw. The easygoing smile at the corner of his lips was so moving…
He raised his gaze to the nearby clouds, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
'Very soon… I will find them very soon.'
Several years of being sealed had made his cultivation abnormally slow, to the extent that it was hard to move the energy. After awakening, it took him a couple of years to recover his strength.
Yet, he was able to make a large improvement in his power in these years…
The youth laughed. When smiling, his eyebrows looked really nice. It was insufficient to call it magnificent.
'Mother, I won't let anyone harm us this time…'
Just by thinking that before long, he could reunite with his family, the youth couldn't help but to perk up. Jubilation and excitement filled his heart. He really wanted to have a pair of wings to fly to her side.
No one saw the youth standing on the mountain peak.
Otherwise, they would be captivated by his lazy and moving smile. Such a handsome youth was rare even in the Central Region…
At this moment at a pavilion, Mu Ru Yue's eyelashes moved slightly then her eyes gradually opened. At that instant, an enchanting face appeared in her line of sight.
Their faces were so close, which made her expression darken.
She gritted her teeth as she asked him, "Feng Jing Tian, why are you here?"
Feng Jing Tian looked at Mu Ru Yue, slightly aggrieved. "You heartless woman! You dare to ask me that? Didn't your man treat you so badly that he forced you off a cliff? If it wasn't for me finding you coincidentally, you would have probably been eaten by magical beasts at the bottom of the cliff by now. I have saved your life, no matter what. My demand isn't high—just devote your life to me."
Mu Ru Yue's gaze darkened slightly. She raised her leg to kick viciously toward Feng Jing Tian. Feng Jing Tian had already predicted that she would make such a move. His red-robed figure moved in a flash to the side, easily dodging her kick.
His phoenix eyes were slightly lifted as he looked at the ice-cold expression of the young girl, neither smiling nor frowning. "It's better for woman to be more feminine. They shouldn't keep on trying to kick a man's private part. Of course, if you marry me, it wouldn't matter even if you to kick me there a few times… But your way of repaying your benefactor is truly unique."
Actually, Mu Ru Yue really wanted to rebuke him by saying that she didn't ask for his help. After all, even if Feng Jing Tian didn't help, she was confident that the magical beasts wouldn't be able to sense her presence because of consuming that pill when she fell. How could she head out alone to meet up with Nangong Zi Feng completely unprepared?
She had always cared about her life, so how could she really move so impulsively?
However, it was a fact that Feng Jing Tian saved her life. She really couldn't repay a gratitude with a grudge.
"Enchanter, I will return this favour to you, but don't think that I'll develop feelings for you. I, Mu Ru Yue, will only have one man in this life. Except for him, my heart can no longer accommodate anyone in it so don't even mention devoting my life to you."
Mu Ru Yue raised her gaze toward Feng Jing Tian's exceptional appearance; resolution filled her eyes.
The smile on Feng Jing Tian's enchanter-like handsome face vanished gradually. He narrowed his eyes slightly, anger surging in his heart.
'This woman will really not fancy anyone, except for that man?'
"Woman, there's still a lot of time in the future. I'll make you accept me in that period of time." The smile returned to Feng Jing Tian's face again. He wasn't in a rush to obtain this woman.
"If I want to go, will you be able to stop me?" Mu Ru Yue asked indifferently, with a slight raise of her brows.
"Woman, you probably don't know where this is." Feng Jing Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "This is the Central Region of the Martial God Continent. Moreover, I had already sealed your powers before you awakened. Don't blame me for doing that. I only want to spend some time with you, and if you had your powers, I probably wouldn't be able to stop you from leaving."
A sinister smile appeared on Feng Jing Tian's face as he said that. He was unwilling to cooperate with Nangong Zi Feng, but he still wouldn't hesitate to use to any method to obtain this woman!
If he was able to forcefully make her stay, so what if he sealed her powers? He would still dote on and cherish her forever, even as a trash…
Mu Ru Yue's gaze chilled. Her previous feeling of gratitude toward Feng Jing Tian had vanished. She looked icily at the beautiful enchanter-like man.
"Feng Jing Tian, you will regret doing this!" Mu Ru Yue shouted icily, voice void of warmth.
"Haha!" Feng Jing Tian laughed with his head thrown back. His laughter was very wild and attractive. "Woman, I have mentioned that I will make you my woman willingly. You will have to stay in my Feng family for a certain period of time. It will be futile to attempt to leave this place without my permission."
The man soared to the air and left after tossing those words out.
Mu Ru Yue's expression turned increasingly cold as she looked at the fire-like red robe disappearing from her sight.
She released a mouthful of air gradually…
There was indeed a seal on her power. Although, compared to the seal that Nangong Zi Feng had placed on Xiao Feng, it was much weaker. It was obvious that Feng Jing Tian had only just entered the Xiantian realm…
Thus, even though there was a seal, it wouldn't be able to affect her cultivation in the slightest.

How could she head out alone to meet up with Nangong Zi Feng completely unprepared?
Miki transmitted her voice to her, "Then just say it~ Say did I ask you to save me? You just did needless work and created needless gratitude from me. Hmm~ say that with your head raise way over to look down at him to the max. For example…"
The seal would be broken by itself once she made her breakthrough to the Xiantian Stage. All her powers would return to her body then…
The only thing she could do now was cultivate constantly.
It was a pity that she wouldn't be able to refine pills due to the seal. Otherwise, it would be much easier to break it. She now needed to seek alternative methods to rapidly improve her cultivation.
The room door was suddenly pushed open, a ray of light shining through it. This made Mu Ru Yue frown slightly, and she looked icily at the maid who barged in without knocking.
"Get out!"
The maid froze before saying, "The eldest young master has ordered this maid to serve the lady."
Mu Ru Yue's voice turned colder. "Get out! Don't make me repeat myself again!"
The maid bit on her lower lip and heavily placed basin she was holding on the table. She then turned around and left without giving Mu Ru Yue a glance, not forgetting to slam the door shut.
"She's just a trash yet really thinks so highly of herself just because she has the backing of the eldest young master. It's really a wonder how this vixen was able to seduce the eldest young master. Only young mistress Lan Yue is compatible to the noble eldest young master. This girl doesn't have the qualification to even be the eldest young master's concubine!"
Even though the maid said those words after closing the door, it was still heard by Mu Ru Yue due to her tremendous mental power.
'Trash?'
Mu Ru Yue chuckled bitterly. It was indeed that case. Right now, she was no different from a trash. This scenario was just like when she had just transmigrated, void of any powers.
However, she still strongly believed that this puny seal wouldn't be able to restrain her forever…
When the time came, she would make that man pay the price!
A trace of frost flashed in Mu Ru Yue's eyes. Her impeccable face turned increasingly ice-cold and ruthless…
"Young… young master?"
A red figure appeared before the maid after walking just a couple of steps. Her heart palpitated. Every single movement of this man was very enticing.
He was just like an enchanter sweeping the crowd off their feet. The description 'a beauty that topple nations' was not enough encompass his appearance.
"What did you just say?" The man's eyes were sinister. His bloodthirsty and ruthless glare focused on the maid. Not giving her a chance to talk, he severed her head, with a flash of red light. Blood spurted out from her headless body instantly. The man's long, shapely eyebrows twisted as he raised the sleeve of his red robe to block the blood from landing on his body.
"Somebody! Clean up the mess!"
Feng Jing Tian looked at the tightly shut door and shook his sleeves before turning around to leave. He was confident that this woman would be his in the end.
He thus wouldn't allow anyone to humiliate her!
From the start, Feng Jing Tian didn't even look at the maid now lying on a puddle of her own blood. It was as though human life was as insignificant as ants in his eyes—how could some ants be worthy of his attention?
The commotion outside was naturally heard by Mu Ru Yue, who just raised her brows slightly, her expression as cold as ever.
She was a person that held grudges. That man had tried to kill her when they first met and from that moment on, they were destined to never be friends…
"Wu Chen."
Mu Ru Yue raised her gaze to the blue sky outside her window. A peculiar emotion surged in her eyes. "Don't worry. I'll breakthrough the Xiantian Stage soon and will then be able to return to your side…"
For now, she had something more important to attend to…

Miki looked at her fingernails and commented casually, "Well at least there's a way~ Good luck~"
After searching Nangong Zi Feng's memory, she found the location of that child. Since she was already in the Central Continent, she would bring him back regardless of whether he were related to her and Wu Chen or not.
Mu Ru Yue lowered her gaze slightly, a cold sneer on her face.
"Nangong Zi Feng, Feng Jing Tian… There really are a lot of obstacles in Wu Chen and I's path. Even so, I'll eliminate all of these obstacles and be with him forever!"
Nobody could tear them apart.
Feng Jing Tian hadn't shown up since the day he'd brought her to the Feng family. Thus, it was a peaceful period which elated Mu Ru Yue who just spent her time cultivating. If she wanted to break the seal, the only method was to break through to the Xiantian Stage.
Perhaps Feng Jing Tian issued an order, as after that maid was chased away nobody came to disturb her again. However, this peace was obviously just temporary.
A familiar aura surged in front of her, causing her to open her eyes abruptly. There before her, a flower-like smile blossomed, one that was filled with charm.
Mu Ru Yue, without any hesitation, punched mercilessly toward this face which was owed a beating. Who knew that before the punch landed, it would easily be caught by him?
"Woman, you've been in the Central Region for such a long time now. I'll bring you out for a stroll."
Mu Ru Yue turned her head away, unwilling to look at this enchanter's blooming smile. "Not interested."
"Woman…" Feng Jing Tian's heart became slightly gloomy. He couldn't understand why Mu Ru Yue's coldness made his heart clench suddenly. It felt as though he was going to lose something forever.
If he hadn't sealed her powers, how else could he have made this woman stay in the Feng family?
"Let's go out!"
Feng Jing Tian's handsome face inched closer toward Mu Ru Yue. His large hands then gripped her shoulders. He had an amiable smile on his enchantingly perfect face.
Feng Jing Tian, the successor of the Feng family, was showing such a gentle smile to a young girl. If other girls were to know about this, those numerous maidenly hearts would shatter.
He was also being as sweet as syrup…
"Let go of me!" Mu Ru Yue's gaze darkened, and she said coldly, "I will say this again—I won't develop any feelings for you. Feng Jing Tian, you will definitely regret what you've done."
'Regret?'
Feng Jing Tian smiled bitterly. He didn't understand it himself. As the heir of the Feng family, what kind of women couldn't he possess? Since the past, there were always several noble ladies that tried to climb onto his bed… But he just had to fancy such a cold woman. Could this be that so-called masochism?
He couldn't help but try to get closer to this person who treated him so coldly. Even now that this woman hated him to such an extent…
"Actually, I've already regretted." Feng Jing Tian chuckled bitterly. With a trace of sorrow in his phoenix eyes, he continued, "I, as the eldest young master of the Feng family, can't make any decision for myself. The only thing I really want control over is my marriage. Even after I met you, I still met with many women, but they were only tools for me to sate my lust. Only you… are the one I want to cherish and protect. If you are unwilling to be my lover, then I will marry you as my wife. I also don't mind your past. I know you are unwilling to share your husband with others, so I promise you that you'll be the only woman for me from now on…"
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything. She just cast an icy look at Feng Jing Tian.
That look made Feng Jing Tian's heart panic abruptly. Those large hands gripping the young girl's shoulders started to quiver slightly. He wanted to continue speaking, but he just shut his mouth in the end.

After searching Nangong Zi Feng's memory, she discovered the location of that child, and since she was in the Central Continent, she would bring him back regardless of whether he was related to her and Wu Chen or not.
Mu Ru Yue slightly lowered her gaze, sneering coldly.
"Nangong Zi Feng, Feng Jing Tian… There really were a lot of obstacles on my and Wu Chen's path. Even so, I'll eliminate all the obstacles and be with him forever!"
Nobody would be able to tear them apart.
Miki smiled and said, "Aye~ Miki guarantees it, even if she had to use special means. Eyes narrowed"
"Feng Jing Tian." Mu Ru Yue smiled coldly. "You won't get the chance. Do you think I'll fall for a man who's trying to coerce me? The moment you did this, you've lost any chance of me ever warming up to you. Didn't you want to know why I've accepted Wu Chen? Let me tell you…"
With a slight pause, her voice turned gentle as she talked about Ye Wu Chen.
"Wu Chen respects me and never forces me to do anything. For my safety, he didn't hesitate to reveal himself to the Saintess Sect and go against their experts. Furthermore, he never asked for any repayment for all that he had done. When I was drugged with an aphrodisiac once, he could have used the chance to take advantage of me, but he didn't—he honoured my will. Just recently, he had a surge of power that was so great it could harm me. So, to avoid hurting me, that man planned to cripple his powers. If I hadn't reached him in time, he would have become a trash already.
"He said that his strong powers were for protecting me; therefore if it could hurt me, then what use will he have for it? What do you think? Do you think I'll give up such a good husband to choose you? Feng Jing Tian, I will say all these only once: I, Mu Ru Yue, will only love Ye Wu Chen in my life. If I had to betray him, I would rather destroy my body!"
The young woman's gaze was so firm, so resolute that his heart ached.
'Am I a step too late? If I didn't disappear for half a year, would I have had a chance?' In that half year, he had really lost too much since every time this woman was in danger, Ye Wu Chen was the one who appeared by her side.
Feng Jing Tian hid the trace of sorrow in his eyes. He raised his hand to grip Mu Ru Yue's arm. "Woman, come with me. No matter what, you have to come with me to a place today."
"Feng Jing Tian, let me go!"
Mu Ru Yue's expression chilled, her eyes bursting with flames of anger.
But Feng Jing Tian seemed unable to hear the anger that she was suppressing and just pulled her out of the room. At this moment, nobody knew the billowing of his heart…
Within a tower, a powerful aura burst forth from the front. Mu Ru Yue's expression shook then she closed her eyes gently. She unexpectedly had an enlightenment from this tower.
Seeing that this young girl had turned still, Feng Jing Tian released his hold on her hand then turned to look at her behind him.
'Enlightenment…'
That was true; Mu Ru Yue was indeed having an enlightenment of several Xiantian experts were gathered in this place. Hence, just by entering, she could feel the uniqueness of this room. If she were to stay here for half a month, she would definitely be able to reach the Xiantian Stage within the shortest time frame.
"Hmm?"
A surprised voice was heard from the back.
A translucent spirit floated to Feng Jing Tian's side as he looked astonished at Mu Ru Yue who was having an enlightenment about the Xiantian power.
"Feng brat, this girl shouldn't be from the Feng family, right? Is she the one you love? Hehe! This place is forbidden to anyone other than the Feng family members, but if this girl is your beloved, that will be another case."
The white-bearded spirit clicked his tongue and lamented, "A talent! She really is! Initially, several Xiantian experts broke through here so it stored the enlightenment of those experts here. For countless thousands of years, any Feng family member that reached a bottleneck in breaking through to the Xiantian Stage will always come here to be enlightened. But this girl's enlightenment has to be the best yet."

"Feng Jing Tian." Mu Ru Yue smiled coldly. "You won't get the chance. Do you think I'll fall for a man who's trying to coerce me? The moment you did this, you've lost any chance of me ever warming up to you. Didn't you want to know why I've accepted Wu Chen? Let me tell you…"

omits 10 million words
Miki looked at Mu Ru Yue who was constantly pointing out how great Ye Wu Chen is. She face palmed herself and sighed, "Ru Yue, I think that is enough. Can't you see that Feng Jing Tian had gone from sad to zone out?"
Feng Jing Tian chuckled. His gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue, with a complex expression. He also didn't know why he brought this heartless woman here.
For her to breakthrough to the Xiantian Stage? Once she did, the seal would break on its own. Then, she would leave the Feng family forever, and he would no longer have the chance of getting her…
"Haha!" The spirit laughed suddenly. He clenched his fists tightly as he fixed a stare of interest on Mu Ru Yue. "Genius! This girl is definitely a talent. I hadn't seen a seedling with such a strong enlightenment in a thousand years. Feng brat, her talent is much better than yours. If this old man isn't forcefully using his spirit to remain here by relying on these Xiantian powers, I may really have the intention in recruiting her as my apprentice."
'It is such a pity, If I had met this girl earlier on, I perhaps will really take her as my apprentice, no matter what.'
"But…" The spirit blinked his eyes, turning his head toward Feng Jing Tian as he questioned him, "Feng brat, you sealed her powers? It can't be that this girl dislikes you, so you used this method to keep her here, right? You are at least my, Huo Hun's genuine successor. To actually force a girl, you really threw your ancestors' faces."
Huo Hun shook his head as he glared at Feng Jing Tian as though he hated him for being an iron that couldn't become a steel.
This brat had thrown the face of the Feng family's countless thousand years of history down the drain.
Feng Jing Tian's face reddened. It was as though his ancestor had seen through his thoughts. Just as he wanted to explain, Mu Ru Yue who was being enlightened about the Xiantian power suddenly opened her eyes.
"Senior, thank you for the tutelage."
Mu Ru Yue's gaze swept past Feng Jing Tian's face and landed on Huo Hun's.
Huo Hun laughed. "Little girl, I'm not related to it. It is your own enlightenment. If I hadn't guessed wrongly, your current power should be at the False Xiantian Stage. It is a pity that it had been sealed by this bastard brat. I am only a lingering spirit that can't do much; otherwise, I will help you break the seal. Fortunately, however, since you have felt the Xiantian power, you will be able to breakthrough to the Xiantian Stage in a couple of months. At that time, the seal will break naturally."
This little girl would make such a drastic improvement after being able to accept so many Xiantian expert's enlightenment while she was still at the False Xiantian Stage. After breaking through to the Xiantian Stage, her future cultivation would be very successful with the right conditions from then on. She would no longer face any bottlenecks.
Even though Mu Ru Yue wasn't on good terms with Feng Jing Tian, she was still extremely respectful to the old senior before her that had lived for an unknown amount of time.
"Senior, if you have chased me out earlier, I won't have the chance to make such an advancement in my cultivation. No matter what, I must thank you for that."
"Haha!" Huo Hun laughed out loud. "Little girl, this old man really likes your personality. It is a pity that this brat of the Feng family had overdone it. I won't request for anything other than to not annihilate my Feng family in the future, in consideration of me letting you experience the enlightenment of the Xiantian powers today."
Upon saying that, Huo Hun sighed lightly.
This girl was destined to be extraordinary and metamorphose into a dragon that would roam the horizon in the future. He hoped that she would not annihilate the Feng family on today's behalf…
Mu Ru Yue smiled faintly. She didn't promise Huo Hun, as who would know what would happen in the future? Regarding such matters, she wouldn't casually make promises she couldn't follow through.
"Senior, I can promise that if no one from the Feng family provokes me, I naturally won't make any moves against them. But if the Feng family offends me excessively, I, Mu Ru Yue, am not a person who will submit to humiliation!"
Huo Hun bitterly chuckled twice and cast an 'all-the-best-to-you' look toward Feng Jing Tian. How could he not see that this little girl was obviously unhappy about being kept captive?
'Feng Brat has overdone it this time…'
Even if it were for pursuing the girl, he should have used his heart to move her. How would he be able to change her thoughts about him if he forcibly kept her, a girl that didn't love him? This method would only make her unable to develop any feelings for him.
"Ancestor, we have disturbed you." Feng Jing Tian cupped his fist. His enchanter-like handsome face conveyed a multitude of magnificence. He turned around and pulled on Mu Ru Yue's hand, forcefully pulling her to his side.
It was as though Feng Jing Tian didn't see the frosty expression on the young girl's face as his smile became increasingly charming. "Woman, I've brought you to this place. Are you feeling slightly better? Can you accompany me for a stroll?"
He lowered his head to look at Mu Ru Yue beside him. His lowered voice even held a trace of begging.
Mu Ru Yue's heart jolted, but after thinking of what Feng Jing Tian had done to her, her expression chilled once more. She didn't resist, however, and allowed him to pull her freely out of the residence.
"Feng Jing Tian…"
Under the sunset, the young girl halted her steps as she raised her head to look at the ash-gray sky. She continued in a gentle voice, "If you didn't seal my powers and force me to stay here, perhaps we could have been friends…"
'Friends?'
Feng Jing Tian tightened his grip on Mu Ru Yue's hand. He lowered his phoenix eyes in order to cover the trace of self-mockery in them. "Woman, you got it all wrong. I have never thought of becoming friends with you."
What he wanted was her person… Not a pitiful friendship…
Mu Ru Yue knew it was futile to continue explaining it to him. This man wouldn't let her leave, so she didn't say anything further and let him pull her freely out of the Feng family.
Walking along the streets, Feng Jing Tian gazed frequently at the young girl beside him, a jubilant smile on his red lips. For him, this was something to enjoy.
If he could interact with her like this for the rest of his life, without much quarrelling, how great that would be…
"Tell me about the Central Region." Mu Ru Yue raised her gaze slightly as she asked, sounding neither cold nor warm.
Feng Jing Tian was elated for this could be counted as the first time Mu Ru Yue took the initiative to talk to him, so he told her everything he knew.
"Actually, this place can't be counted as the genuine Central Region. It's just a part of it." Feng Jing Tian raised the corner of his lips. He stared at the young girl beside him unblinkingly. "If we were to generalize the four kingdoms, my Feng family of Feng City is at the border of the Central Region. The genuine Central Region is completely surrounded by the sea. The land at the center consists of an area larger than the four kingdoms. That's the Central Region."
Mu Ru Yue's brows rose, 'This place isn't the Central Region?'
How could Feng Jing Tian not understand her thoughts? He chuckled lowly. "For example, the borders of the Kingdom of Zi Yue are still counted as within the Kingdom of Zi Yue. Similarly, my Feng City can be counted as within the Central Region. You've seen my Feng family's ancestor. My Feng family was originally a large family clan in the Central Region a thousand years ago, but after something happened my ancestors fell. The Feng family was also forced to retreat to this place…"
Any glorious family would fall in time; the Feng family was the best example.
"Ancestor?" Mu Ru Yue thought about the lingering spirit in the tower. She rubbed her jaws gently as she continued, "That senior's power isn't bad. When he was alive, he should have been at the Xiantian Complete Great Circle Realm."

Huo Hun bitterly chuckled twice and cast an 'all-the-best-to-you' look toward Feng Jing Tian. How could he not see that this little girl was obviously unhappy about being kept captive? [Miki thought, 'He should lure her with ice creams that wouldn't melt and oreos. It should do the trick or it might work with Miki ? Kuu~ Snacks are the best ]
'Feng Brat has overdone it this time…'
Even if it were for pursuing the girl, he should have used his heart to move her. How would he be able to change her thoughts about him if he forcibly kept her, a girl that didn't love him? This method would only make her unable to develop any feelings for him. [Miki: mmhm~ Miki agrees 100000000%/100%. But then this kind of thing I think it occurs in real life too~ or is it that Miki is getting the virtual world and real world merge together… ^_^]
Including those experts in the Central Region, there weren't many at the Xiantian Complete Great Circle Realm. That elder should have reached that level when he was still alive…
"Woman, I don't have an in-depth understanding of the situation there, but I know a couple of the great powers in the Central Region. The Medicine Sect is one of the great powers in the Central Region, but there are other greater powers above the Medicine Sect. As to how powerful those fraction are, I of course don't know, as I'm unable to associate with them"
Feng Jing Tian's expression became serious. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons inside the Central Region. Any of those powers could proclaim themselves as monarchs outside.
Just as Mu Ru Yue wanted to ask him something, a fragrance suddenly entered her nose. The faint fragrance made her, as a woman, unable to resist the temptation to raise her head to look forward…
A blue dress like billowing waves. The silky hair of the girl looked so smooth and glossy under the light of the sunset. What was more stunning was the girl's face.
With blue eyes like deep water, a faint smile was visible on her exceptional face. Her beauty was like the deep blue of the ocean. The phrase 'unmatched beauty' was inferior to her looks.
When the girl appeared, her gaze landed on Feng Jing Tian…
"Jing Tian, you're back?" This girl had a gentle, faint smile. The beauty of her smile seemed to emit a fragrance. Her deep blue eyes were filled with deep emotions as they gazed upon the enchanter-like man before her.
It was as though her eyes could see only him, unable to allow any other to enter.
"I heard you were back since earlier, but I was rather busy recently and couldn't go see you. Coincidentally, since I'm free today, I planned to see you. You won't blame me, right?"
The girl looked carefully at Feng Jing Tian. With an expression as gentle as water, how could any man resist her?
Feng Jing Tian's long, shapely eyebrows frowned slightly. He glanced impatiently at the girl's gentle-as-water expression before saying indifferently, "Lan Yue, what relationship do we have? Why would I blame you? Make way. Stop blocking my path!"
Lan Yue's expression changed slightly, but rapidly reverted to normal. She giggled lightly. "Jing Tian, are you mad at me? Are you blaming me for not coming to meet you earlier? But aren't I here now? Can't you forgive me this time?"
'This woman, doesn't she understand human words?'
Feng Jing Tian's expression turned gloomy as he snarled in a sinister and cold voice, "Scram!"
That word sounded like lightning on the street. At that moment, everyone turned their heads in that direction. When they saw the bickering couple, they understood.
Feng Jing Tian had always walked among flowers while being unstained by their leaves, but he just couldn't care less about his fiance, Lan Yue, who had a gentle and beautiful water-like appearance. It was all due to her identity as his fiance.
He disappeared from Feng City for a couple of years due to his displeasure.
Lan Yue's gaze dimmed slightly as bitterness permeated her heart. Her heart had been robbed by him after he saved her, ten years ago.
However, no matter how this man hated her, she was willing to endure the humiliation so long as she could become his wife…
"Jing Tian, I just…."
"Scram!"
Feng Jing Tian didn't wait for her to say her piece and cut her off furiously.
Lan Yue's delicate face paled instantly. She bit hard on her lower lip as she looked with despair and pain at this heartless man. He could share himself with others, so why couldn't he share just a tiny bit of himself with her?
Even if it were a tiny piece, it would have been sufficient for her…

[Miki: There is also one innate crouching tiger or hidden dragon that is not far from you and is before you… RIP Feng Jing Tian~ I wish you all the best when Mu Ru Yue gains superior powers. Since you aren't too hateful, I shall give you a shovel to keep beforehand so you can bury yourself before Mu Ru Yue bury you when that time comes~]
"Feng Jing Tian, what right do you have to shout at elder sister Lan Yue?"
It seemed Feng Jing Tian's words were too much, as a beauty who was by Lan Yue's side moved to support Lan Yue's swaying body. The beauty glared angrily at Feng Jing Tian.
"Elder sister Lan Yue just likes you. What right do you have to humiliate her? Her status as your fiance was agreed upon by the head of the Feng family and our father. You simply don't have the power to choose!"
Feng Jing Tian narrowed his eyes dangerously. His charming smile turned grim, like a hell's blood flower with its temptation.
"Lan Xin!" Lan Yue's expression changed drastically. She knew Feng Jing Tian was angry. "You can't say that!"
"Why can't I?" Lan Xin snorted coldly, then she cast a furious gaze at Mu Ru Yue who was beside Feng Jing Tian. Her eyes contained undeniable jealousy. "Who's this woman? What qualification does she have to walk by your side? It can't be that you abandoned such a good woman like elder sister Lan Yue to marry this girl, right? I don't feel even the slightest energy undulations from her. She's obviously just a good for nothing trash. The head of the Feng family won't allow you to be with her."
Lan Xin raised her jaw arrogantly as she looked at Mu Ru Yue with disdain.
"Stinky girl, Feng Jing Tian isn't someone you can put your paws on. You should eliminate any thoughts of becoming a phoenix. You will always be incompatible with such an outstanding man. If you want to marry someone, our Lan family has several subordinates. I can allow you to be a concubine to any of them. Our Lan family's subordinates have standards for marrying their wives after all. Such a good-for-nothing trash as yourself should be honoured to be a concubine."
The most outstanding man in Feng City was the Feng Family's Feng Jing Tian. Lan Xin knew she wasn't as beautiful nor as powerful as Lan Yue so she couldn't be his wife, but if Lan Yue marries Feng Jing Tian, she could perhaps marry him together with her elder sister.
'How can I let some girl destroy my plan?'
All in all, she was just thinking about herself when she expressed injustice for Lan Yue…
Feng Jing Tian's expression became terrifyingly gloomy. He raised his hand to swipe viciously at Lan Xin's face.
Pah!
A crisp sound was heard, Lan Xin was sent flying from that slap and landed heavily on a vendor's booth at the side.
She looked stunned at Feng Jing Tian, tears in her eyes.
"Feng Jing Tian, I am a daughter of the Lan family. You… you slapped me?"
Lan Xin's heart shuddered violently as she bit her lower lip and glared with resentment at the enchanter-like man. Her resentment was so obvious that it looked as though Feng Jing Tian was a bastard who abandoned his wife and daughter.
"Slap you?" Feng Jing Tian chuckled coldly. "I've indeed acted on impulse and dirtied my hand. Scram immediately! If it wasn't for you being a girl of the Lan Family, you would have already been a corpse by now! I will warn you one last time. It is best that you don't plot anything against her. Otherwise, I will let you know what it's like to live a life worse than death!"
The man's word were so ear-piercing that it was like a needle had struck Lan Yue's heart. It was so painful that her entire body shook. Tears filled her blue eyes.
After all these years, she had already gotten used to seeing her beloved man be intimate with other girls, but as long as he was still hers, it would suffice. However, those girls had meant nothing to him.
She thought this woman would be the same, so she just ignored her presence from the start and didn't questioned him, since she knew Feng Jing Tian disliked it when she meddled with his matters…

"Elder sister Lan Yue just likes you. What right do you have to humiliate her? Her status as your fiance was agreed upon by the head of the Feng family and our father. You simply don't have the power to choose!"

Now she knew she had thought wrong. It had been so incredibly wrong…
He didn't mind offending the Lan family for this woman and had even slapped Xin Er.
Lan Yue bit her lower lip. Her gaze shot toward Mu Ru Yue. That glance looked so ordinary that her blue eyes were still gentle as water, but Mu Ru Yue could distinctly feel the animosity and fury in the girl's eyes.
Mu Ru Yue shrugged her shoulders helplessly and sighed. She was completely implicated by Feng Jing Tian.
"Xin Er, let's go." Lan Yue turned around and walked to Lan Xin's side. Her steps paused as she said, "Jing Tian, I won't tell this to my father, but you have gone too far. I won't be able to help you now, even if I wanted to…"
Upon saying that, she didn't even turn back as her fluttering blue dress disappeared under the sunset.
Mu Ru Yue looked in the direction Lan Yue left. It was unknown what she was thinking. She was still in deep thought when a low voice was heard. "Woman, I'm sorry…"
Her heart skipped a beat. A man that had always been prideful knew how to apologize?
"Feng Jing Tian, isn't this what you wanted?" Mu Ru Yue chuckled lightly with mockery in her eyes.
"No!" Feng Jing Tian's heart tightened as he gripped Mu Ru Yue's hand hastily. With a trace of panic in his phoenix eyes, he continued, "I didn't expect them to come here. I didn't purposely allow those people to humiliate you. Woman, I…"
He really didn't know how to explain himself at that point.
If it wasn't for him in sealing her powers, this woman wouldn't have been humiliated in such a fashion.
Feng Jing Tian swallowed his words as he looked sheepishly at the young girl by his side.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to make you stay with me. If you recover your strength, you will just disappear from my side. I won't have a chance then."
"Forget it." Mu Ru Yue waved and smiled coldly. "I will be able to break this seal by myself without your assistance. Feng Jing Tian, you won't be able to keep me captive for my entire life. Once there's a chance, I'll leave this place and return to his side."
Feng Jing Tian tightened his grip on the young girl's hand. But it was as though he felt the young girl's pain so he suddenly released it. A bitter smile was expressed through his red lips.
It seemed as if no matter what he did, this woman wouldn't accept him.
But he was still unwilling to give up just like that…
"Woman, you should be tired by now. I shall escort you back. I'll bring you out for another stroll some other time." Feng Jing Tian smiled amiably as he gazed at Mu Ru Yue unblinkingly.
Mu Ru Yue nodded lightly. She needed to head back and cultivate rather than interact with this man…
After returning to the Feng family, Feng Jing Tian brought Mu Ru Yue back to her quarters. He was then summoned by the head of the Feng family, Feng Xiang. Seeing Feng Jing Tian enter, Feng Xiang's expression darkened.
"Jing Tian, I heard you brought back a girl from outside recently. That part doesn't really matter, as my Feng family can afford to raise a girl, but I heard that not only did you bully Lan Yue, you also slapped Lan Xin for that girl. Shouldn't you give me an explanation as your father?"
Feng Jing Tian chuckled coldly. "So what if I beat her? I should have killed her for humiliating my girl! I've spared her life today in consideration of the Lan family, but I will immediately make her bleed if there's a second time!"
(Teaser)
Now she knew she had thought wrong. It had been so incredibly wrong…
He didn't mind offending the Lan family for this woman and had even slapped Xin Er.
Lan Yue bit her lower lip. Her gaze shot toward Mu Ru Yue. That glance looked so ordinary that her blue eyes were still gentle as water, but Mu Ru Yue could distinctly feel the animosity and fury in the girl's eyes.
Mu Ru Yue looked toward Lan Yue and gave her the 'take that bitch' look.
"Impudent!"
Feng Xiang stood up after slamming his hand on the table. He looked at Feng Jing Tian, ashen-faced. He clenched his fists tightly and roared in fury, "Jing Tian, what is so good about that girl that you would fall out with your father for her?"
Feng Jing Tian chuckled twice, lips curving cynically. But, what he said after was so resolute, there wasn't a single trace of doubt within it.
"I want to break my engagement with Lan Yue and marry Mu Ru Yue as my wife!"
"Feng Jing Tian!" Feng Xiang's eyes seemed to be spitting flames of fury. "It is enough to play with a girl. If you want to make her your concubine, I can agree with that. But you want to marry a trash as your wife? That's impossible! I certainly wouldn't allow a woman with unknown background to wed into my Feng family."
'Even though this brat is arrogant and obstinate, he usually wouldn't go against me, his father. Yet now, he actually went against me for a woman?
'It seems that woman must be eliminated…'
A trace of viciousness flashed across Feng Xiang's eyes.
As the head, he always did things for the benefit of the Feng family. If someone became a threat to his Feng family's interests, he wouldn't let them off, especially that woman who made his son turn his back against him.
But he knew that with Feng Jing Tian here, he wouldn't be able to lay a hand on her…
"Jing Tian." Thinking about that, Feng Xiang's expression became gentle. With glimmers dancing in his eyes, he continued, "If you want to marry her, it isn't entirely impossible."
Feng Jing Tian's brows moved, but he didn't say anything as he wanted to know what his father was plotting.
"But…" Feng Xiao smiled coldly as he continued, "The power of the Lan family is also very formidable, so it won't be easy to break the engagement with the Lan family. Hence, I will need you to obtain something. I heard that the Lan family has been searching for a medicinal plant known as the Summoning Dragon Grass. That ingredient can be found in the Great Dragon Mountain Range in the Central Region. Once you obtain that, perhaps the Lan family will be willing to break the engagement."
Feng Jing Tian kept quiet as he looked dubiously at Feng Xiang.
"You have such good intentions?"
Just a moment ago, this bastard was just shouting at him furiously, then he changed his mood so suddenly. How could Feng Jing Tian not feel suspicious about that? Moreover, Feng Xiang had always been known to scheme and do anything to reach his goals.
Previously, didn't he kill Feng Jing Tian's mother for his goals?
"Stinky brat, you are my son no matter what. Even though I'm really enraged by your actions and chided you for beating a girl of the Lan family, you should know that it's because the old man of the Lan family is very protective. Isn't that bad for my Feng family then? However, looking at it from a different perspective, I also hope my son will be happy and blessed."
Seriousness was expressed from Feng Xiang's brows. He was like a father who was really looking after his son.
However, it seemed as if Feng Jing Tian still couldn't believe his words. Feng Xiang was completely enraged, but he didn't show it on his face. "I can promise you that the Feng family won't do anything to that woman after you leave!"
The Feng family wouldn't make a move, but that didn't mean that the Lan family wouldn't…
Feng Jing Tian withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Xiang in a sinisterly cold way. "I hope that you keep to your words. When I return, I wish to see Mu Ru Yue completely unharmed. If she gets hurt in the slightest, don't blame me for causing a bloodbath in the Feng family!"
"Stinky brat, don't forget that you are of the Feng family!" Feng Xiang's entire body shook. 'This damnable bastard will actually create a bloodbath in his own family for that woman?'
In that case, he definitely couldn't let that woman live…
(Teaser)
Feng Xiang stood up after slamming his hand on the table. He looked at Feng Jing Tian, ashen-faced. He clenched his fists tightly and roared in fury, "Jing Tian, what is so good about that girl that you would fall out with your father for her?" [Miki whispers, "Because she is the main female of this story while you are just air in this story. If Mu Ru Yue is the princess, you are a dried up negligible leave on the floor."]
Feng Jing Tian chuckled twice, lips curving cynically. But, what he said after was so resolute, there wasn't a single trace of doubt within it.
"I want to break my engagement with Lan Yue and marry Mu Ru Yue as my wife!"
"Feng family?" Feng Jing Tian chuckled sinisterly. With slight disdain in his phoenix eyes, he continued, "Don't you forget how mother died, and why I left the Feng family. I hate Lan Yue; she's just a wife you picked for me. More importantly, I just can't like her due to her hypocrisy. Furthermore, if it wasn't for my talent, will you, Feng Xiang, still look at me? I didn't even want this identity as the young master of the Feng family from the start."
Feng Jing Tian's words were like needles to his heart. Feng Xiang's body couldn't help but tremble.
He was right. The madam's death was indeed due to him. If he wasn't too weak to speak up for her, she wouldn't have died so miserably that year. He would never be able to forget the final look that woman shot him.
Despair and misery…
It was precisely due to this that Feng Jing Tian couldn't feel at home in the Feng family,even hating his own father.
While Feng Xiang was immersed in his memories, Feng Jing Tian moved in a flash out of the room. His fiery red figure moved quickly and landed within Mu Ru Yue's residence.
Feeling the incoming aura, Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly as she asked indifferently, "Enchanter, what are you here for?"
Feng Jing Tian looked deeply at the young girl's impeccable face. An unfathomable expression was displayed on his enchantingly handsome visage.
"I will have to leave the Feng family for a period of time. You must stay safe while I'm away."
Mu Ru Yue's brows rose as she replied, "Perhaps I'll be safer if you let me go."
The young girl's words carried thorns that pierced the man's heart mercilessly. But he continued to look as though he was unaffected and smiled. He was obviously a man, yet his smile was really nice.
"Take this decree tablet. If you are in danger, I will rush back. Woman, do you know? When I was really young, my mother already passed away. Her death, moreover, was due to my cowardly father."
Feng Jing Tian smiled coldly. With sorrow in his eyes, he continued, "To be precise, she practiced a technique which enabled her to raise the dead. The price of which was her life force. When she used her technique to save Feng Xiang, someone saw her. However, that person only saw the part when she turned from a young woman into an old one, an effect of losing her life force. Therefore, the person deemed her a reincarnated demoness."
If someone saw a young woman gradually turn into a granny with a wrinkled face, how could they not be scared? Everyone would think they had seen a ghost.
Mu Ru Yue could already guess the outcome without Feng Jing Tian's narration…
"The elder of the family declared she was a demoness, who must be put to death by burning. That man she revived didn't speak up for her even when she was about to be burned to death. He wasn't the heir to the Feng family then; his status wasn't good and many people wanted him dead. So, how could he care about others? Even that person who was his wife and sacrificed half of her life to save his, resulting in the aging of her face and ended up being mistaken as a demoness…"
From then on, Feng Jing Tian became unwilling to call that man his father.
"Me saying all of this isn't to incite your pity." Feng Jing Tian raised his eyes to look at Mu Ru Yue. With determination in his phoenix eyes, he continued, "Before she passed away, she said this to me, 'If you meet a woman you like, you must do whatever you can to protect her.' Hence, I want you to trust me when I say I will be able to protect you and you won't be harmed in the slightest."
Mu Ru Yue lowered her gaze and remained silent, expressionless. This man did indeed deserved pity, but… the prerequisite for it was that he shouldn't have done anything to her previously…
"Feng Jing Tian, the best protection will be if you just let me leave."
"Impossible!" Feng Jing Tian's expression changed drastically. He gripped Mu Ru Yue's shoulder tightly as he shouted anxiously, "I definitely won't let you leave! Wait for me. I will return quickly. Once I do, then nobody will be able to stop me from marrying you as my wife!"
Mu Ru Yue chuckled lowly. She just closed her eyes and didn't say anything more.
Feng Jing Tian released her hand gently. He then turned and headed out the door after giving the close-eyed young girl a final look. His red figure disappeared beneath the sunlight.
It wasn't until he was completely gone that Mu Ru Yue opened her eyes…
She understood that once Feng Jing Tian left, she would no longer be in peace, so it was true when she said that letting her leave was the best protection for her. The people from the Lan family wouldn't let her off.
Yet, Feng Jing Tian thought things too simply.
If she had her power, she would be able to fully protect herself. But she was just a trash now. It was a wonder how Feng Jing Tian made such a promise inside this Feng Family enshrouded in deep waters and flames.
However, she, Mu Ru Yue, never had the need to beg for a man's protection, especially not that man,Feng Jing Tian's…
"Xiantian!"
Mu Ru Yue looked at her palm with a faint smile.
Once she broke through to Xiantian realm, she would be able to protect herself from harm. She was more willing to trust in her own strength than in that of men.
Peng!
Lan Xin raised a leg to kick the door open, her countenance full of arrogance. When her beautiful eyes landed on Mu Ru Yue, she snorted coldly, nose turned up.
"Bitch, let's see who will protect you now that Feng Jing Tian isn't here. Did you really think you can become the young madam of the Feng family? Stop dreaming! That position is elder sister Lan Yue's. But she's just too kind-hearted to personally come here to teach you, the slut who snatched her husband, a lesson. The role of relieving her anger shall fall upon me as her younger sister!"
Lan Xin gritted her teeth in fury when she remembered how Feng Jing TIan had slapped her for this woman. Her eyes shot daggers toward the young girl sitting on the bed.
It was undeniable that this woman was indeed exceptionally pretty. Her beauty didn't amount to just her outer appearance. Her body also exuded a calm and collected aura that could captivate people.
She kept her composure even while facing the provocation of so many people. She didn't express any sign of panic, nor was she at a loss.
It was no wonder why Feng Jing Tian fell for her. It was just a pity that no matter how good-looking this woman was and how self-possessed her actions were she was just a trash that couldn't amount to anything.
Wouldn't it be easy to deal with such a trash?
"You finally came?" Mu Ru Yue chuckled lightly. However, her gaze was such that it could freeze a deep pond as she continued, "I thought once Feng Jing Tian left, you would have come right after. Who knew I still had to wait a moment?"
"Just continue acting!" Lan Xin snorted, since from her point of view, the young girl was feigning calmness. She must actually be incredibly terrified, and just didn't dare express it.
"Everyone, attack! Beat her to death!"
Lan Xin's expression was somber as she looked at Mu Ru Yue with deep malevolence. Her lips curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. It was as though Mu Ru Yue were just a puny ant to her.
"You will just suffer being a powerless trash in this world that reveres experts, so you should thank me for relieving you of such pain soon…"
She raised her chin, looking down at Mu Ru Yue condescendingly.
Hong!
A flaming fist struck Mu Ru Yue and sent her body flying. The window screen broke apart and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
The people that followed Lan Xin over weren't as brainless as she was. When they saw Mu Ru Yue sitting there quietly, they thought she was truly confident with her power. Who could have expected that she didn't have the slightest strength when to resist their attacks?
So, her calm and collected appearance really was a bluff.
"Hahaha!"
Cynical laughter flooded the room.
A disciple of the Lan family raised his head to laugh and, with mockery in his eyes, he said, "I must say, why were you acting? Seeing so many of us coming after you, shouldn't you tear up and shudder in fright like a trash? Yett you dared to act in such a way toward us?! I'm really dubious of the sight of the eldest young master of the Feng family for falling for such a woman and dumping our Lan family's young mistress Lan Yue. You aren't even qualified to be Lan Yue's shoes!"
"Hehe! Even though this woman is a trash, she's an exceptional beauty. How about giving her to me as my concubine? I'll definitely make her fall for me in a way that she would never want to leave me!"
The person who said that had a perverted expression as he looked sinisterly at the young girl's exceptional appearance.
Yet, there wasn't any change in Mu Ru Yue's expression from the start…
Hong!
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Layers and layers of energy landed on her body. Instantly, the immense power made her face pale, yet she continued to watch on expressionlessly at the crazily laughing crowd.
Perhaps this was a situation where the usual tiger was being bullied by the dogs once it lost its power!
Mu Ru Yue smiled coldly and activated the Alchemy Book in her body…
After the battle with Xiao Min outside the Mu residence, she discovered that via the Alchemy Book, she could convert powers that were the same attribute as hers for her own use. However, she didn't have the opportunity to try it out again after that battle.1
This time, she was borrowing the Xiantian enlightenment from the tower and only needed to gather enough power to reach her limit in order to break through. If it were the usual, she would still need a couple of months to achieve that. But that was only the case when there was no external assistance…
Lan Xin chuckled coldly as she watched those attacks fall on the young girl's body. "Bitch, let's see who will save you this time. Feng Jing Tian had been lured to leave Feng City. No one can to help you!"
This will be the day of her death…
Lan Xin couldn't help but clench her delicate fists whenever she thought of Feng Jing Tian slapping her previously. The smile on her exceptional face became increasingly cold, viciousness and ruthless expressed in her eyes.
Pfft!
Mu Ru Yue spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining her white clothes red.
She still remained expressionless with calmness in her eyes.
The Alchemy Book circulated inside her body. Countless red energies were entering her body. Following that, a power gathered these energy toward her dantian. She didn't even care about other factors and just freely allowed those powers to hurt her body…

"You will just suffer being a powerless trash in this world that reveres experts, so you should thank me for relieving you of such pain soon…"
Miki looked at her and went to her secret dimension.
'Hmm~ what should I do to her? Shall I dig a hole and dump slug on her like what I did before? Do a surgery on her? Do a dissection to see why she likes to seek death? But then I want it to be a slow and agonizing torture. How about skinning her alive and spray capsicum spray on her? It is such a tough~ tough decision. People should know that NOBODY and I mean it NOBODY should mess with my main favorite characters! Grins evilly'
