Chapter 53: Feelings evoked in the dark (4)

“Master, if I save it, can you give it to me?” Mu Ruyue’s eyes flickered, clearly referring to the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus.

Wu Yu chuckled and said, “It’s dying anyway, so it’s useless for me to keep it. If you can really save it, then I’ll give it to you.”

With his agreement, Mu Ruyue said no more and walked over to the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus. She gently placed her palm on top of it and in an instant, a wisp of warm vital energy drifted down her palm and onto the petals of the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus.

Wu Yu was originally indifferent, but his face straightened violently as he sensed the changes in the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus, stunned to see it bathed in vital energy.

Although the sensation was still faint, the breath of the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus was clearly thriving towards vitality…

Mu Ruyue’s face gradually turned pale and beads of sweat rolled down her exquisite face then dripped to the floor with a splatter. All that could be heard in the alchemy room at this moment was the sound of breathing.

Wu Yu ruthlessly slapped his head and gawked incredulously at the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus that had grown a little bit white. His expression was completely the image of someone who thought he was dreaming.

“No way, right? How could this happen?”

Abnormal, this girl is completely abnormal!

Before Wu Yu could snap back to his senses, Mu Ruyue had already withdrawn her hand and the Eight-leafed Snow Lotus, which was on the verge of death just now, had already regained its vitality.

Wait a minute…

Wu Yu stared at it petrified and rubbed his eyes vigorously before looking at the Snow Lotus on the table again.

“That’s not right? How come it has nine petals? When did that extra petal appear? Nine-leafed Snow Lotus? I’ll be damned. This is actually a Nine-leafed Snow Lotus that’s more precious than an Eight-leafed Snow Lotus!”

To make even an old man like Wu Yu burst into foul language proved that he was deeply shaken inside.

Not only did this girl save the Eight-Leafed Snow Lotus, but she also directly turned it into a Nine-Leafed Snow Lotus? Was there a demon like her in this world? She clearly wasn’t human!

Wu Yu was so dizzy that he couldn’t speak. All he could mutter was two words: not human.

“Nine-leafed Snow Lotus?” Mu Ruyue raised a brow. This was unexpected. She sighed and put it into her Spatial Ring before looking at the stupidly dumbstricken Wu Yu on the side.

With one brow slightly raised, Mu Ruyue forced a smile. “You promised to give me this Snow Lotus.”

Wu Yu heard her just as he finally snapped out of it and couldn’t help glaring at her. “Since I promised you, how could I go back on my word? Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an Eight-leafed Snow Lotus or a Nine-leafed Snow Lotus—it’s all yours. But girl, your power is unbelievable. Never let anyone find out or else misfortune will haunt you.”

Mu Ruyue’s heart warmed at once and she said, “Don’t worry, Master. If it wasn’t you who was here, I wouldn’t have used this ability.”

“This girl…” Wu Yu shook his head helplessly. He didn’t know whether to be happy for Mu Ruyue’s trust in him or to sigh because she didn’t know how to hide her abilities.

However, he did believe that if she were in the presence of another, she never would’ve used her power recklessly.

At the mere thought of discovering this good seedling himself, Wu Yu couldn’t help but feel euphoric. Perhaps the only thing that he wouldn’t regret in his life was taking her on as his disciple.

“By the way, girl, I heard that the Mu family has been looking for your whereabouts recently,” Wu Yu said as he was suddenly reminded of it.

“The Mu family?” Mu Ruyue was bemused then sneered. “What does the Mu family want with me?”
