Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-146

Xiao Tian Yu smiled before sighing. “Our daughter is currently in the outside world. I hope that before she reunites with us, she won’t meet with Xiao Min, that arrogant and despotic girl. That girl really looks down on everyone so much that even I can’t stand her. But if she really meets up with our daughter and bullies her, then I will definitely not let off that duo of a grandfather and granddaughter!”

A trace of killing intent flashed past Xiao Tian Yu’s eyes as he smiled coldly.

Xiao Min, I hope that you don’t make any more mistakes this time. Otherwise, even if your grandfather is an elder of the family, he wouldn’t be able to harbour you…

“Mu Er, I’ve heard that people from the Xiao family are coming here.”

Currently, in the Mu residence.

After Mu Ru Yue left her state of cultivation, a special, charming voice that could only come from that man entered her ear. A light, masculine scent softly tickled her nose, causing Mu Ru Yue’s body to stiffen.

“Wu Chen, did you just say someone from the Xiao family is coming?” Mu Ru Yue came back to her sense and frowned asked that.

“Your husband had heard about that Xiao family from the Sheng Domain. The Xiao family initially wasn’t the most powerful power. They became so powerful now due to the sacred spirit spring in the Sheng Domain. Apparently, the sacred spirit spring is the symbol of the Sheng Domain. The person that gains the approval of the sacred spirit spring can send a few people annually into the sacred spirit spring to train within for a month. Moreover, the powers of those that enter the sacred spirit spring would drastically increase.”

Mu Ru Yue raised her brows and asked, “Could the one that possesses the sacred spirit spring be the Xiao family?”

“That’s right.” Ye Wu Chen chuckled slightly. “It is said to be the Xiao family, but the genuine holder would be the young wife of the Xiao family, Madam Sheng Yue. It is due to her that the previously intermediate Xiao family power became the main powerhouse of the Sheng Domain.”

Suddenly, an elegant and exceptional face appeared in Mu Ru Yue’s mind. Her heart slightly warmed. “Who is it that is coming this time?”

“I’ve heard that it is the daughter of Madam Sheng Yue of the Xiao family.”

Daughter? Could it be Qing Qing?

Mu Ru Yue’s eyes lit up slightly. After leaving the Pill Assembly, she didn’t get the chance to meet up with Qing Qing and didn’t know how that little girl had been fairing lately.

“Wu Chen, where are the people from the Xiao family at now?”

“The palace.” Ye Wu Chen looked at Mu Ru Yue and asked, “You want to see the people from the Xiao family?”

“Mhmm.” Mu Ru Yue nodded. “It can be counted as though I know Madam Sheng Yue. I also get along with her daughter, Xiao Qing Qing. I don’t know whether if it is Qing Qing that came this time.

Ye Wu Chen charmingly smiled. “From what I know, the person that came this time isn’t Xiao Qing Qing, but a girl known as Xiao Min.”

“Xiao Min?” Mu Ru Yue frowned. After remaining silent for a while, she continued, “No matter what, I want to meet up with the Xiao family. Madam Sheng Yue can be counted as my foster mother after all. When I left before, I didn’t get the chance to bid farewell with her so I don’t know if she is here this time.”

Reminiscing about that warm gaze from that beautiful woman, Mu Ru Yue’s heart turned sunny. She didn’t know why, but whenever she saw that mother and daughter of the Xiao family, she couldn’t resist the feeling of wanting to get closer to them, as though that was how it should be.

Ye Wu Chen frowned. A trace of a sinister ray of light flashed past his handsome face. He had heard from an intelligence gatherer in the palace that Xiao Min was an arrogant and despotic girl. That kind of girl wasn’t worthy of meeting with Mu Er.

“Mu Er, since you agreed to marry me, how about we settle our wedding matter first? As for that woman from the Xiao family, you can meet her in the future.”

Mu Ru Yue looked curiously at Ye Wu Chen. How could she not guess that Ye Wu Chen didn’t want her to meet that person? But no matter what Ye Wu Chen wanted to do, he definitely had a reason for it, so she chose to trust him.

“Alright then, I won’t go.”
