Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-248

The man’s voice was cold, void of any emotion. “Xiao Feng.”

Xiao Feng? Mu Ru Yue’s heart palpitated as she looked the man’s cold and handsome appearance. “You’re elder brother Xiao Feng?”

“Elder brother?” Xiao Feng looked curiously at the young girl and, with a slight knit of his brows, continued, “Who are you?”

Mu Ru Yue smiled then chuckled. “Mu Ru Yue, but it should be Xiao Ru Yue now.”

The man was stunned. Even though he was out investigating the Nangong family, before he went missing, he had still received a letter from his parents that said they had found his long-lost little sister.

That younger sister was Mu Ru Yue.

“You are second sister?” The man looked in shock at the young girl before him. “Are you really my long-lost sister?”

That little bundle from that year had grown so much…

“You’ll be able to verify it once we head home.” Mu Ru Yue looked at the man and continued, “I’ve heard that you disappeared while investigating the Nangong family. What happened? How did your body become so filled with wounds?”

The light in Xiao Feng’s eyes darkened slightly, as he chuckled bitterly.

“Previously, I was ambushed by the Nangong family which resulted in me being unconscious from severe injuries. If it wasn’t for a girl’s help, I would have already been eaten by magical beasts. Moreover, the ambush had led to the sealing of my power, making me lose my combat strength. Despite that, the girl didn’t disdain me for being a trash and took care of me meticulously. She isn’t really beautiful, but is still pleasant looking. She isn’t an aristocratic lady, but her kindness made me fall for her.”

After hearing his words, Mu Ru Yue got the gist of it. She didn’t expect such a melodramatic matter to happen to Xiao Feng.

He was first hurt and rescued, then fell in love with the girl who saved him.

Wasn’t that too melodramatic?

Mu Ru Yue raised her brows. “What happened next?”

“Following thatー” A trace of sorrow flashed past Xiao Feng’s eyes as he continued, “The parents of that girl looked down on me as a trash and forbade her from continuing to interact with me. They’d also arranged a fiance for her. That girl initially fought against her parent’s arrangement. But later, when I suggested she elope with me, she changed her mind, saying that I won’t be able to protect her with my power. I initially wanted to bring her back to the Xiao family after recovering from my injuries. However, her fiance didn’t want to let me off, and she just stood there watching him torture me…”

Mu Ru Yue raised her gaze to Xiao Feng and asked,“What family clan is that?”

“It is the Wu family of South island. That girl was the eldest young mistress of the Wu family, Wu Qing Xue. Forget it, let’s just treat it as I having bad sight. Since the girl left me due to my lack of power, she isn’t worthy of my affections.”

It was a joke how he initially thought she was special and didn’t mind being with him, regardless of his identity and talent. Currently, he was rather grateful that his power was sealed, else how would he have been able to see her true face?

Mu Ru Yue placed her fingers on Xiao Feng’s wrist. A trace of light flashed past her eyes. “Wu Chen, can you do me a favour?”

Ye Wu Chen smiled. His charming smile intensified his beauty. “Don’t just ask for a favour. You can even ask for a hundred. Your husband is willing to go through water and tread fire for his wife.”

“It is really simple. You should be able to see the seal within elder brother’s body. I will refine an Earth Stage Peak Rank pill, and you will assist me by helping him break the seal.”

Mu Ru Yue’s gaze darkened slightly. This seal had probably been created by Nangong Zi Feng and had been controlling Xiao Feng from within. If she didn’t break the seal as soon as possible, perhaps the outcome would be undesirable.

It was precisely due to this seal that she had complete trust in Xiao Feng’s identity.

The man’s voice was cold, void of any emotion. “Xiao Feng.”

‘Xiao Feng?’

Mu Ru Yue’s heart palpitated as she looked the man’s cold and handsome appearance. “You’re elder brother Xiao Feng?”

“Elder brother?” Xiao Feng looked curiously at the young girl and, with a slight knit of his brows, continued, “Who are you?”

Miki helped Mu Ru Yue answered, “Just someone that initially wanted to just abandon you here, but since you look interestingly handsome you shall be my brother.”
