Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine

Chapter 262 – Crisis Arise Part 2

Madam Sheng Yue nodded and chuckled. “It won’t be a problem. I will have Elder Xiao help out. Yue Er, you must have been tired lately, rest up.”

Mu Ru Yue didn’t say anything else and just nodded slightly. She had indeed been tired these past few days, and Ye Wu Chen was entirely at fault…

✶

The night seemed exceptionally silent, with the moonlight like water entering a trail.

Suddenly, a voice transmitted viciously into Mu Ru Yue’s mind, alarming her so her complexion paled.

“Mu Ru Yue, if you still want to see your son from your previous life, come to the South Mountain and meet me! You must come by yourself. Otherwise, you will never be able to see him in this life.”

‘Son?’

She didn’t know why, but that word made her heart throb in pain. A scene appeared in her mind:

As the purple lightning covering the sky came crashing down, the hazy appearance of a purple-clad figure and a white-clad figure fighting against it became visible. And then, a cute boy with all his limbs amputated was thrown at them. His life force gradually dissipated as his blood flowed out.

Seeing the child, the two lost their focus and will to fight so they couldn’t withstand the heaven’s tyrannical lightning, resulting in their annihilation…

This scene was unusually familiar to her, as though she had experienced it personally.

Mu Ru Yue shuddered slightly. She didn’t know why the sorry state of that cute boy lying in his own blood made her heart ache with pain like a knife was forcefully gouging it out.

“South Mountain!”

Mu Ru Yue clenched her fist before looking at her room. Apologizing in her heart,  she left the Xiao family.

Although she was feeling incredibly uneasy, she still had to go there no matter what danger she had to face.

✶

On South Mountain, Nangong Zi Feng spat out a mouthful of blood then smiled peculiarly. “The price of preventing elder brother Wu Chen from hearing my soul-transmitted voice is really high. It will take a while for the damage to my soul to heal, but this will be worth it. No matter what the price is, I’ll pay for it so long as I can finally deal with her.”

If she hadn’t done that, then her soul transmission would have been intercepted by Wu Chen, making everything lose its meaning…

She suddenly felt a familiar aura coming toward her. When she raised her head, she saw a young girl approaching her. With a cold laugh, she said,  “I knew you would definitely come and as expected, you did. Mu Ru Yue, even if you lost your memory, you won’t be able to ignore matters concerning your previous life: such as Bai Ze and that cute little child…”

Mu Ru Yue stood silently on the mountain peak as she looked stoically at Nangong Zi Feng. She had indeed come due to the anxiety she felt.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I have no impression about what you said. I just want to know, why have you called me here?”

“I want you to leave elder brother Wu Chen.” Nangong Zi Feng sneered. “You just need to leave elder brother Wu Chen, and I will guarantee your son won’t be harmed.”

Mu Ru Yue didn’t say anything for a moment; no ripple appeared in her eyes.

“I won’t leave Wu Chen just as I won’t let your sinister plot succeed!”

Her voice sounded so resolute that it made Nangong Zi Feng’s heart shudder.

This woman’s personality was still the same as in her previous life—never acceding to any threat. It seemed reincarnation was unable to change that.
