Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Wife - Page 960/994

They initially thought this woman was the third wheel so they didn’t expect for such a sudden change in the situation. The man they thought to be a romanticist was actually a sinister and cunning man that stooped to nothing in order to achieve his goal, breaking up a loving couple…

“Daddy!”

Xia Lu Lu’s body shuddered as she exclaimed.

‘This is impossible. Father is such an outstanding man. He could have any woman that he wants so why would he plot against others to obtain this woman?’

But when she turned her head to look at him, the middle-aged man’s gravely pale face entered her sight.

Currently, he was so angered to the point that his entire body trembled. With his complexion turned ashen, he yelled in fury, “Yun Luo, don’t you forget what you had just promised to me!”

Swish!

Clamours erupted from the crowd.

He had essentially admitted everything he had done with that sentence. The crowd didn’t expect the head leader of the Xia family to be such a shameless and sinister man!

“Yue Er,” Yun Luo turned her head to look at Mu Ru Yue as she said worriedly, “Your father…”

“He is fine.”

Mu Ru Yue shook her head.

‘Previously, Wu Chen told me his men had already found my Father and is quickly bringing him out of here. As for me, I had come here to stop this wedding.’

“It is great that he is fine.”

Yun Luo heaved a sigh of relief. She shifted her head to look at Xia Ming after knowing that nothing had happened to Mu Yuan. “I didn’t promise anything to you. You had used his life to pressure me. It’s a pity that your plot is destined to fall through…”

Xia Ming burst out laughing as he commented, “Yun Luo, do you think you can leave? Currently, you’re just a trash. A puny trash that actually thinks she can leave my Xia family? This time, it will be not only you, your daughter will similarly be unable to leave this place!”

“Trash?” Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly as she shifted her gaze to Yun Luo.

She initially didn’t pay attention to Yun Luo’s body. But now, she discovered that Yun Luo’s Dantian had been shattered, unable to gather energy within her body.

“Mother, consume this pill.”

With a raise of her hand, Mu Ru Yue instantly shot a pill over to Yun Luo.

Yun Luo was stunned but she swallowed the pill without any hesitation. She could distinctly feel her ruined Dantian gradually recovering after that.

The sudden feeling startled Yun Luo as she looked in disbelief at Mu Ru Yue. Her expression was as if she was looking at a ghost as she said, “My Dantian has recovered?”

‘Th-this… is too extraordinary!’

“What?” Xia Ming was startled as he muttered, “Her Dantian has recovered? H-how is that possible?”

But it was happening before him, forcing him to believe it…

“Pill!” Zi Yu stared at Mu Ru Yue as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. With a trace of greed flashed passed his eyes, he asked, “Young miss, I don’t know if you have anymore pills. I want to purchase those pills!”

Mu Ru Yue frowned as she glanced coldly at Zi Yu’s mouth watering expression and said, “I’m sorry but my pills aren’t up for sale.”

“You’re not selling?” Zi Yu’s expression changed as he threatened, “Do you know who I am? I am a person of the Zi family. Yet, you dared to reject my request. Aren’t you afraid of offending my Zi family? Nobody will be able to protect you at that time!”

Zi Yu’s grandfather was merely a lowly floor sweeper within the Zi family so he wasn’t eligible to meet the top figures of the family. Moreover, Ye Wu Chen had just recently returned back to the Zi family. Hence, even though Zi Yu saw the man by Mu Ru Yue’s side, he was clueless that Ye Wu Chen was actually the young master of the Zi family…

“Young miss,” Zi Yu raised his chin arrogantly as he continued, “Once you sell me your pills, I can guarantee that you will from then on be an ally of the Zi family. Nobody will dare to bully you!”
