Ouyang Yun Jin’s gaze turned grim and with a slight heartache, he said, “It is my blood younger brother. He always wanted the power in my hand so he has been thinking of multiple ways to eliminate me. Since you are helping me and is a great alchemist, he naturally deemed you as a large threat so he could only do that.

  Mu Ru Yue’s gaze turned slightly cold. She wasn’t one that would just be on the defensive. Since someone was delusional in trying to deal with her, she definitely wouldn’t just wait for them.

  “Lady Mu, it is his own personal action. It isn’t related to the Ouyang family. I promise that this kind of incident wouldn’t occur again.”


  Ouyang Yun Jin was afraid that she would shift the blame to the Ouyang family so he hastily explained.

  “Ouyang Yun Jin, since you want me to help you, I will need to make a trip to the Ouyang family!”


  Mu Ru Yue stood up and shot a cold cast toward Ouyang Yun Jin.

  Ouyang Yun Jin was stunned for a moment. He then replied after keeping his silence for a short moment, “The purpose in me coming to find you is similar to yours. I want to invite you over to the Ouyang family. But there are some that may say unpleasant things about you. I hope you can just ignore them.”


  Mu Ru Yue smiled faintly and said, “I’ve already heard several unpleasant words before so it won’t bother me. Ouyang Yun Jin, let’s head out now.”


  If nobody was trying to kill her, she wouldn’t make her move now.

  But she currently couldn’t afford not to…


  Mu Ru Yue narrowed her eyes with a cold ray that flickered past her eyes. Shen then felt a warm hand held hers, making her cold heart to thaw gradually.

  That’s right, there was him that would always be by her side not leaving or abandoning her no matter what happens.

  A figure soared through space and stood in mid air outside the Ghost King’s manor a couple of days later.

  She frowned slightly and muttered, “Am I too late? Why do I feel that their aura had left for quite a while?”


  It seemed that she was a step too late.

  Nevertheless, her heart could calm down after knowing that they were here…


  Suddenly, foreign auras appeared behind Zi Shao, making her expression to darken drastically. She then rapidly turned around to cast a gaze toward that auras.

  An elder in grey robes that was standing in mid air entered her sight. His gaze was as glacial as a blizzard. There was a handsome youth standing beside him. He appeared to be a gentleman with a gentle temperament.

  “Elder Ma, I am sure that it was the people from the Ghost King’s manor that had snatched our Dongfang family’s medicinal plants.”


  Dongfang Jun swept a gaze at Zi Shao before him but didn’t place her in his eyes. This girl indeed was good looking, but her appearance was still far from Xiao Yue’s.

  “Are you certain?” The light in Elder Ma’s eyes dimmed with his gaze cold and strict.

  “I am.” Dongfang Jun smirked slightly as he continued, “The dragon that robbed the Dongfang family was indeed from the Ghost King’s manor.”


  Of course, Dongfang Jun was completely guessing blindly.

  He was the one responsible in transporting the medicinal plants. Since something happened, he must find a scapegoat. Mu Ru Yue that had offended him had naturally become that target.

  ‘Once she dies, Xiao Yue will regain her freedom and return into my embrace.’


  In Dongfang Jin’s point of view, Xiao Yue had refused to return to him due to being restricted by the contract with that woman known as Mu Ru Yue. She would not continue to reject him once he saved the beauty from the sea of flames.

  He would then be able to enjoy being served by the two beauties.

  Zi Shao’s gaze turned grim gradually as she commented, “The people from the Dongfang family? I didn’t expect the people from the Dongfang family would take the opportunity when the owners of the place was away to destroy their home.”
