When Yao Yun Qing and Liu Li were battling fiercely, Mu Ru Yue was sitting on a mountain in the Alchemy Book that was radiating with white light. A breeze grazed her face and a fragrance passed her nose.

  Mu Ru Yue’s body suddenly jolted.

  Boom!

  A tremendous power surged forth from her body, directly shattering a nearby rock that was in front of her into smithereens…


  “Mid Rank Xiantian.”


  She finally broke through to the Mid Rank Xiantian realm after half a year of close door training…


  Mu Ru Yue opened her eyes abruptly as she suddenly smelt a burnt scent from her side. When she turned her head over, she saw that Xiao Bai seemed to be roasting something.

  “Xiao Bai, what are you doing?”


  “Roasting. Do you want to try?” Xiao Bai raised his head and looked toward Mu Ru Yue, expressing an adorable smile.

  Mu Ru Yue frowned and queried, “What I am asking was what are you roasting?”


  “Medicinal plants.”


  “Medicinal plants?”


  She was stunned for a moment before she asked, “Where did you get them from?”


  Xiao Bai pointed to the storage ring on Mu Ru Yue’s finger. “From there.”


  Mu Ru Yue hastily inserted her mental power into the storage ring. She then found that all of the medicinal plants in her ring had vanished, leaving only pitiful few bottles of pills floating solitary.

  She took in a deep breath and asked with gritted teeth, “Xiao Bai, do you know what you had just done?”


  Xiao Bai blinked his eyes innocently, clueless as to why his master was so furious.

  Mu Ru Yue raised her hand and lifted Xiao Bai’s tiny body before viciously smacking his buttock.

  Wah!

  Xiao Bai wailed out with glistening tears in his large eyes.

  “Xiao Bai, those are rare medicinal plants. It is alright if you ate them, but you wasted them. How can medicinal plants be used to roast?”


  More importantly, some of those medicinal plants were prepared for Yan Jin.

  Now, his location was still unknown…


  “Xiao Bai knows he is in the wrong.” Xiao Bai looked at Mu Ru Yue, sobbing. Grief was expressed on his jade carving like face. His expression was that of a little puppy being abandoned by its owner. He continued pitifully, “Master, Xiao Bai knows that he has done wrong. Can you please stop being mad at me?”


  Mu Ru Yue’s heart softened as she apologized, “I’m sorry, Xiao Bai. I was too stirred up previously. It is just that two of those medicinal plants were for my really important friend. Yet, they were ruined by you. Are you still in pain?”


  Her slender finger caressed the red mark on Xiao Bai’s buttock as she asked with slight guilt.

  Xiao Bai shook his head vigorously before he curled his tiny body into Mu Ru Yue’s embrace. After taking in a deep breath, he said, “Master, your body scent is really nice. But Master, only Xiao Bai’s mother can beat Xiao Bai’s buttock. Nobody beat Xiao Bai ever since mother and father broke space to travel to other places. Since you beat Xiao Bai’s buttock, you must be responsible to Xiao Bai. Hence, you are Xiao Bai’s mother from now on.”


  Mu Ru Yue’s body stiffened momentarily. “Xiao Bai, you are a magical beast while I am human.”


  Xiao Bai lifted his star-like eyes and asked with grief, “Master, do you dislike Xiao Bai? Father and mother have disliked Xiao Bai so they abandoned him and traveled elsewhere. Do you also dislike Xiao Bai?”


  It was obscure to Mu Ru Yue why she couldn’t rebuke any further after hearing what he said.

  Suddenly, she remembered the moment where she first met Ye Wu Chen. That fella similarly used such a pitiful expression to guilt trip her to lead her by the nose…
