Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-201

“Tell me who your backstage master is.”

Mu Ru Yue took a few light steps forward as her murderous gaze latched onto the man. Seeing Ye Wu Chen’s identical face, a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes.

The man snorted in disdain as he turned his head away from her.

“Still not saying?” Mu Ru Yue smirked, but her eyes belied her murderous intent. “Yan Jin, pry open his mouth for me! I want to hear the answers I desire.”

Yan Jin’s sword-like brows were raised as he neared the man, and he rubbed his fist. “Should this senior rip you into five parts, or should this senior use his hell’s flame to burn your soul away entirely? It’s best for you to tell the little girl what she wants to know. Perhaps I can give you a quick end!”

Swish!

Black flames emitted from Yan Jin’s body. Flames danced within his domineering eyes.

He smiled a little as he stood before the imposter who lay on the ground, his hair fluttering beneath the flames. Raising his head, he glanced arrogantly at the person with the same face as Ye Wu Chen.

The man was keenly aware of the threats Yan Jin possessed, but he secretly clenched his teeth, unwilling to speak a single word.

“Yan Jin, take a step back.” Mu Ru Yue’s brows furrowed slightly as she walked to Yan Jin’s side. She opened her palm, revealing a pill in the center. “This is a Truth Pill. Let him consume it.”

Yan Jin didn’t say anything, silently taking the pill from Mu Ru Yue’s hand. With a wave of his hand, a black ray of light shot toward the man. Taking advantage of the man’s open mouth as he screamed, the pill was flicked into his mouth with a few fingers.

“Cough! Cough!”

The man coughed twice before hastily trying to dig into his mouth to expel the pill. However, the pill had instantly liquefied once it entered his mouth, the fluid seeping down his throat.

“Tell me, who sent you?!”

Mu Ru Yue walked toward him, stopping only when she stood directly before the man, looking down at him.

At that moment, the man’s gaze turned hazy as he replied in a daze, “It is my family’s master.”

“Who is your master?”

“Our master is the eldest young mistress of the Nangong family, Nangong Zi Feng.”

‘Nangong Zi Feng?’

Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly. She was certain she hadn’t ever heard such a name. Why had that girl ordered people to impersonate Ye Wu Chen and come to her side?

“What is your purpose in doing this?”

“I do not know. The eldest young mistress didn’t tell us. She just directed me to use this identity and break your relationship. If there was a chance, we were to kill you. I don’t know anything more than that.”

Mu Ru Yue looked at the man and saw that he really didn’t know the details of the situation.

‘What did Nangong Zi Feng want to achieve in doing all of this?’

“Yan Jin, finish him off.” Mu Ru Yue turned around and casually walked out of the room.

She left the remaining matters to Yan Jin.

After leaving the room, Mu Ru Yue took in a deep breath. Her next urgent matter was to make preparations for the bloodline intensity test tomorrow…

☀

The next day.

Just when the sun rose, Mu Ru Yue, still in slumber, was awoken by Madam Sheng Yue. She pulled her into the main hall after a bit. Xiao Tian Yu and Xiao Qing Qing were already waiting for her there. When Xiao Qing Qing saw Mu Ru Yue, she leaped out of Xiao Tian Yu’s embrace and rapidly dashed into Mu Ru Yue’s.

“Elder sister.”

Xiao Qing Qing hugged Mu Ru Yue’s thigh. She laughed lovably, her voice so tender that was incredibly adorable. She already had such an appearance at this tender age, and would definitely be a devastating beauty once she grew up.
