Chapter 953
Late at night, Soul Palace’s Deep Palace .
Chu Mu sat alone in his courtyard . Tonight, Ye Qingzi was concocting medicine, so to avoid disturbing her, Chu Mu sat alone in the courtyard scattered with leaves, drinking tea .
In the past, Chu Mu would always hope to cultivate at night . However, there was no more use in cultivating, and Chu Mu also felt that sleeping was a waste, so he would spend his time reading books about soul pet species .
This time, Chu Mu was reading a book about the phoenix species . Chu Mu had many areas about this species which he didn’t understand . If he was able to analyze this book, he would be able to conduct his battles and use techniques much more efficiently in the future; it may also make him more decisive .
“Apparently each different attributed emperor species has its own special life-preservation technique . What life-preservation technique is the Dead Dream’s?” Chu Mu flipped through this extremely old book .
Unfortunately, this book only recorded two types of phoenix species . One of them was the fire type Crown Phoenix King, which Chu Mu had seen before .
There was also a wind phoenix which was a combination of the wing type and wind type . Presumably, this wind phoenix was the most agile and talented at aerial fights among all species .
As for the darkness phoenix species Dead Dream, there were no human records of it . Chu Mu could only gain an understanding about it through normal phoenix species records .
Chu Mu drank a sip of tea, and flipped to the next page when a cold wind blew through from the small grove next to him .
Chu Mu’s courtyard was extremely large and next to him was a tiny grove . This grove connected to Soul Palace’s gardens, making the layout rather unique .
Chu Mu’s perceptive abilities were very strong . Chu Mu felt something slightly abnormal about the wind, and his eyes flickered with a sliver of silver light as he stared at the pitch dark grove .
Suddenly, from the grove, a pair of snow white eyes with a dull light moved towards Chu Mu .
Chu Mu was stunned . Wasn’t this Mu Qingyi’s White Tiger?
For some reason, the White Tiger’s aura was much stronger than what Chu Mu had seen before . It had probably stepped past the heavenly barrier of the emperor rank . However, this powerful energy was seemingly exceptionally unstable .
This situation would normally appear the moment one broke through . The moment this happened, all of the potential in its body would be stimulated, allowing its strength to temporarily reach its peak . However, the White Tiger’s life force was extremely weak, causing it to lose much of its previous majesty . Instead, it seemed extremely tired .
As the White Tiger walked closer, Chu Mu discovered a beautiful and delicate woman lying on its back . Her hair was draping down the side of her face while the other side of her face was incomparably pale . The corner of her mouth was also seeping with blood .
Chu Mu was stunned . Wasn’t this woman Mu Qingyi?
Why would a mighty dominator rank appear here in such dire straits? Moreover, her wounds weren’t light .
“What happened?” Chu Mu hastily went forward and supported the semi-conscious Mu Qingyi before bringing her to his room .
Mu Qingyi didn’t even have the energy to talk . She depended on Chu Mu to reach his room, and only after she laid down did she close her eyes .
Chu Mu could see that Mu Qingyi had relied on her willpower persisting until here . However, he didn’t understand why she had come here so wounded .
"Hou~~~~~”
The White Tiger was also full of wounds . It crawled next to Mu Qingyi’s bed . Its eyes squinted, not letting anyone near its unconscious master .
Chu Mu could see that the White Tiger was heavily injured as well . He retrieved a healing medicine Ye Qingzi had concocted and gave it to the White Tiger .
“Defend this place . I’ll find someone to heal her . ” Chu Mu said to the White Tiger .
“Hou~~~” the White Tiger roared, telling Chu Mu to stop . It used a mental voice to tell Chu Mu not to let anyone know its master was hiding here .
The White Tiger put Chu Mu in a bit of an awkward spot . Firstly, he couldn’t find Ye Qingzi because she was in a closed door state . Disturbing her would cause backlash .
However, if nobody could know she was here, what could he do about her injuries? Would he, who only knew how to treat simple wounds, have to treat Mu Qingyi?
“Ai, whatever . I’ve already seen it once anyways . ” since saving her was urgent, Chu Mu didn’t think any longer . He retrieved medicine water from his spatial ring that one would soak in to heal .
Waving his hand, Chu Mu’s fingers transformed into several aerial blades that easily ripped apart her clothes . Instantly, a naked jade-white body was exposed to his eyes .
Chu Mu momentarily went absent-minded . Soon after, he bitterly laughed . Why was this so similar to last time?
Chu Mu indeed wasn’t in the mood to enjoy this because like last time, she had several wounds on her body .
After opening all of his medicines, Chu Mu condensed spatial walls around the bed, forming a container . Then, he dumped all of the medicine inside so Mu Qingyi could soak inside . It would probably take a while before she woke up .
Chu Mu wanted to ask tiger what happened; however, aside from barely being able to comprehend simple communications, there was a huge language barrier that prevented him from understanding everything that happened . Chu Mu could only sit there and wait .
……
Approximately when the sun was about to rise, the wounds on Mu Qingyi had basically healed .
Of course, these were all outer wounds that had healed . Ye Qingzi’s medicine soaking indeed allowed for quick recovery . However, Mu Qingyi’s mind had been heavily injured as well, and her soul had been injured . These wound both take a long time to heal .
When the red sun hung on the horizon, Mu Qingyi finally opened her eyes .
The first thing she saw was Chu Mu sitting on a chair, propping his head as he slept . Then, she glanced at her naked body which was exposed before him . Fortunately, his eyes were closed right now, making her feel less embarrassed .
Mu Qingyi got up, and retrieved a loose robe to cover her dripping wet and alluring body .
She didn’t immediately wake up Chu Mu . She just sat next to the bed container and stared with her darker eyes at Chu Mu .
She herself didn’t know why she chose to flee here . Perhaps it was because he had saved her before in the Universe Ice Gates . If he wanted to do something improper to her, he could have just killed her then .
Of course, Mu Qingyi didn’t know that Chu Mu had actually planned on killing her then . . .
“Chu Fangchen . ” softly called Mu Qingyi .
Chu Mu opened his eyes, and saw Mu Qingyi who was now wearing clothes . The truth was that he had just been faking sleeping because he felt that staring at someone else putting on clothes would be too rude .
Unfortunately, the medicine wasn’t transparent either, so Chu Mu didn’t actually have a chance to admire her unblemished body .
“Nobody knows I’m here, right?” Mu Qingyi bit her pale lips and softly spoke .
Chu Mu shook his head and asked: “Who injured you to this extent?”
Mu Qingyi didn’t answer him . She felt that this matter was unrelated to Chu Mu, so it was best not to involve him .
“Wait for me to recuperate before we head to the demon realm . Is it safe here?” asked Mu Qingyi .
“It’s safe, it’s safe…” bitterly laughed Chu Mu .
Mu Qingyi recalled her White Tiger back to her soul pet space, so that it could nurse itself at peace . For a moment, the two of them were silent .
Every so often, Mu Qingyi would go absent-minded . Each time she remembered her Evernight Emperor being trampled to death, she couldn’t help but want to cry . Yet, she stubbornly didn’t want Chu Mu to see her like that . Thus, she could only sit there lost in thought alone, and heartbroken alone .
Chu Mu could see that Mu Qingyi’s soul pets had been killed . He didn’t know how to console her and just sat there, looking at her, waiting for her to talk .
However, as she sat there, the corners of Mu Qingyi’s eyes ultimately still got moist .
The Mu Family indeed was the emperor family of Wanxiang Realm . However, after the Mu King went missing, his descendants could only wear the emperor family in name in Wanxiang Realm . The population of the family grew so sparse that Mu Qingyi became the only heir and only branch of the family left .
The present Wanxiang Realm had been partitioned by Soul Alliance, and the three great palaces . The Mu Family was only able to preserve a bit of its ancient authority and had ceded authority over ostensibly every city to the two large factions .
Yet, in the end, their wolf-like ambitions had no room for respecting the Mu Family . Instead, it was her that was eradicated!
Having already given up the country, the Mu Family had chosen to retreat and hide . They even chose to protect the safety of humanity for free . Yet, why did they have to be exterminated?!
Towards this, Mu Qingyi felt an unprecedented humiliation and rage!
“What on earth happened . Tell me . ” Chu Mu could see that this obstinate War Goddess could no longer restrain her tears . He sort of couldn’t look on anymore so he spoke .
Mu Qingyi looked up and looked at Chu Mu . Tears were moving in her eyes .
However, she wasn’t used to sharing things with others, and didn’t know where to start .
After all, this matter wasn’t as simple as laying a trap for her . She was certain that in no less than a month, the Mu Family would completely disappear from Wanxiang Realm . There could even be countless more blackened names!
Chu Mu saw that Mu Qingyi wasn’t talking and could only sigh . He said: “Whatever, put your mind at ease and heal up . You’re very safe here . ”
After speaking, Chu Mu stood up and walked out of the room . He let Mu Qingyi heal herself alone .
Can you help me leave Wanxiang Realm?” suddenly, Mu Qingyi softly asked a question .
“Is leaving Wanxiang Realm very difficult?” Chu Mu didn’t understand .
“Yes, it’s very hard . I tried last night, but no matter which direction I fled, there would always be Soul Alliance people . Ultimately, I could only hide here . ” said Mu Qingyi .
Chu Mu creased his brows . How strong was Soul Alliance’s ability that they could stop Mu Qingyi from even leaving the city .
“It should be fine . Just rest up here . Don’t think of anything else . ” consoled Chu Mu . After speaking, he left the room .
Mu Qingyi watched Chu Mu’s calm figure leave, and she slowly went absent-minded . However, her mood seem to dull and she once more sank back into a sinkhole of pain .
