Phoenix Cry Firmament - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Feelings Evoked in the Dark (6)

“Let’s go then.”

Mu Qing turned around and walked towards the door, so he didn’t notice the viciousness that flashed in the eyes of the young girl behind him.

That b*tch Mu Ruyue hurt Sister Ting’er so badly, so why should she be allowed to come back to the Mu Residence? She would never allow that mean-spirited b*tch to set foot in this house again.

Moreover…

Just thinking about that handsome and innocent young man, Mu Yixue’s hatred towards Mu Ruyue intensified.

In the Mu Mansion, Mu Ruyue was lazing around on a chaise longue with her hands behind her head. The sunlight prevented her from fully opening her eyes, so she merely squinted up at the blue sky.

“Wife, Wife…”

An innocent voice burst from the front without notice.

She turned and saw Ye Wuchen running towards her excitedly. His handsome face had an innocent and rosy smile, his pure eyes filled with laughter.

“Wife, look what I’ve brought you.”

Ye Wuchen unfurled his hands and a necklace strung with an emerald green bead appeared. He gave the necklace to Mu Ruyue. “Wife, I thought the bead was beautiful, so I strung it on this chain to give to you. Wife, do you like it?”

This moved Mu Ruyue and she accepted the necklace. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the emerald green bead dangling below.

This bead was different from the others with a vibrant breath of life in its crystal blue.

“Gem Tree Fruit? Is this a Gem Tree Fruit?”

It resembled a bead, but it was the fruit of a Gem Tree.

Mu Ruyue removed the Gem Tree Fruit from the string and asked Ye Wuchen excitedly, “Wuchen, where did you get this Gem Tree Fruit from?”

Ye Wuchen’s big eyes blinked and he looked at Mu Ruyue with curiosity. “What’s a Gem Tree Fruit?”

“Gem Tree Fruit is a fruit with a super abundant amount of vital energy, but it’s not like an elixir. Generally speaking, warriors don’t often take elixirs to break through. After all, there are always after-effects of using an elixir to break through, which could affect future cultivation. But Gem Tree Fruits are different. Once you take one, a warrior can directly break through a level.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so excited.

While talking about it, Mu Ruyue couldn’t help but shake her head in laughter. Even if she explained it more, Ye Wuchen wouldn’t be able to understand.

Sure enough, Ye Wuchen blinked in bewilderment at Mu Ruyue’s explanation. “I don’t know anything about Gem Tree Fruits, but I picked this bead before and intended to give it to my future wife. Wife, you’re my wife now, so this necklace is yours.”

In the dark, the black-clothed man who always followed Ye Wuchen nearly fell headfirst upon hearing this.

Master, you went to a lot of trouble in search of the Gem Tree Fruit to give to your future wife, but you used such a lame excuse. What are you planning to do when you want to give her another gift later on? It seems that you’ve never had the heart to marry anyone until you met Mistress.

Moreover, Mistress seemed to have not accepted Master yet. So, when would Master be able to give her a title for real? Perhaps by then, the Ghost King’s Palace Hall would gain a little more personality…

Meanwhile, a figure came running in from the front yard. Upon seeing Mu Ruyue, Li Lu was relieved, but he couldn’t resist uttering his grievances: “Master, didn’t you ask me to obey you? You disappeared after the competition. I’ve been looking for you for a long time. If someone hadn’t discovered your trail, I wouldn’t have been able to find you so quickly.”
