Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-1005

Everyone was alarmed at this moment, dazedly looking at the woman that had suddenly appeared. They were unable to get back to their senses even after a long time…

She managed to use a move to block all of the Spiritual Realm experts’ attacks.

This woman’s might is too extraordinary!

When some people were curious about the woman’s identity, a languish voice carried by the wind was heard by the crowd, “Mother, you’re finally here…”

Mother?

Everyone’s expression stiffened. This woman looked so youthful so how could she be his Mother?

But the person that was more shocked than them was Shu Ning. She looked astonished at the silver-robed figure before her. She seemed to have become a fool, withering within the wind…

‘Mu Ru Yue is Zi Qian Jing’s Mother?

‘How can she have such a grown-up son?’

“Jing Er.”

White robes fluttered over to Zi Qian Jing as Mu Ru Yue landed before Zi Qian Jing. With a gentle smile on her ice-cold face, she asked, “Are you alright?”

Zi Qian Jing shook his head and said, “All of you had returned?”

“Mhm! We had settled everything and came back…” Mu Ru Yue smiled before she turned her head to look at Shu Ning and said, “Shu Ning, so you are with Qian Jing?”

Shu Ning snapped out of her shock with great difficulty. A puzzled gaze was expressed in Shu Ning’s eyes when she heard Mu Ru Yue’s words.

“Yue Er, h-he’s your son? He looks about the same age as you are. How is it possible that he is your son?”

Shu Ning’s voice trembled when she asked the last question.

‘Oh my god! It can’t be Yue Er have a son when she was only two to three-year-old, right? If it was really the case, this world would be too mystical.’

“About that…” Mu Ru Yue shrugged her shoulders as she continued, “It will be a long story. But Shu Ning, you seem to be facing some troubles.”

She swept a glance through the crowd as she looked at Su Ning that had an ashen complexion and offered, “Do you need help?”

Shi Ning smiled bitterly. “I had told you about my family background before. I returned to the Su family to investigate the reason for my Mother’s death. Currently, I finally discovered the truth but they are denying my claims. Yet, even if they deny, I had found the midwife that helped my Mother give birth to me. She already confessed that she had been ordered by the current madam of the Su family!”

Su Ning’s complexion changed as she yelled with all her might, “Nonsense! My Mother didn’t do such a matter. It was obviously Shu Ning herself that killed her mother…”

Mu Ru Yue chuckled as she calmly glanced at Su Ning that had a massive change in her expression and said, “Shu Ning, I have a better solution. Do you want to try it out?”

“What is it?” Shu Ning was stunned for a moment.

“Truth Pill!” Mu Ru Yue sneered as she explained, “If the consumer of this pill lie, their entire body will rot. It will be a slow and torturous death. But if they said the truth, they will be able to have a quick death. I just don’t know if she will choose to speak the truth or lie…”

‘It’s a pity there will only be an outcome in the end!’

Plop!

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard nearby.

When the crowd shifted to the source of the sound, a beautiful woman was so frightened that her legs gave way, unable to remain standing. She pleaded in a shaky voice, trembling, “Head leader, please save me. I don’t want to die!”

“It is possible for you not to die!” Mu Ru Yue smirked as she continued, “But only if you say the truth. If you don’t believe what I say, you should be able to believe that your daughter knows my might…”

Mu Ru Yue swept a gaze at Su Ning’s gravely-pale face when she said that.

Su Ning wanted to scream out in denial about her claim when she received the beautiful woman’s gaze. However, she nodded in the end after thinking about the consequence she might face if she were to deny.

“My Mother’s alchemy standard is really outstanding…”
