Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-534

A man was standing by a bed late in the night. His slender figure gently tabbed onto Mu Ru Yue’s glabella. Following that, he gradually slide his finger down to her lips…

Her lips was soft, but cold. It made people want to give it a taste.

Of course, he thought about that and did it.

The man lowered his head and planted a kiss on Mu Ru Yue’s thin lips, gently savouring it. But his movement was really gentle as he feared that he would wake her up…

The girl on the bed seemed to be slightly uneased as with a frown, she turned her body to face the man. Her tightly knitted brows then slowly relaxed.

“Mu Er, I’m sorry. I have to leave.”

She would only be safe if he left as the Immortal Doctor Sect was targeting him. But he had great reluctance in leaving his girl…

Moonlight shone into the room, landing on the man’s slender body.

His gaze was incredibly focused. It was as though he wanted to engrave every single detail of the girl before him into his memory…

It was unknown as to how long it would take for them to reunite after this departure.

“Mu Er, I will wait for you to become stronger. When we reunite again, perhaps you will have a much stronger cultivation. We won’t be separated again then.”

It was only with tyrannical strength that would enable them to stay with each other forever.

Ye Wu Chen didn’t dally further after giving a final glance at the girl lying on the bed. He turned around and left under the boundless night sky…

He left, but he didn’t tell her.

It was due to Ye Wu Chen knowing Mu Ru Yue well. If she learned about the reason why he left, she definitely wouldn’t allow it.

“Eldest brother! Eldest brother!”

An anxious voice flooded the entire Pill Tower.

Xiao Feng was instructing something when he heard Mu Ru Yue’s voice. He turned his head and walked briskly toward her. With a slight crease of his sword-like brows, he asked, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Mu Ru Yue was holding a letter in her hand at this moment. With anxiousness expressed in her eyes, she asked, “Eldest brother, have you seen Wu Chen?”

“Wu Chen?” Xiao Feng frowned and shook his head before he asked, “Did something happened to Ye Wu Chen?”

Mu Ru Yue’s finger trembled as she lowered her gaze to cover the bitterness in her eyes. She muttered, “Wu Chen left…”

“Left?”

“Mhm.” Mu Ru Yue nodded as she explained, “He said that he left due to not wanting to implicate the Xiao family and I further…”

Xiao Feng was startled. Yao Yun Qing and him wasn’t here yesterday, but he had heard the report about what happened to the Xiao family after he returned.

He just didn’t expect that Ye Wu Chen would leave due to this….

“Yue Er.” Xiao Feng’s throat choked with his emotions. He didn’t know how to console her at this moment.

“Eldest brother, I’m alright.” Mu Ru Yue slowly raised her gaze and with determination in her eyes, she continued, “I believe that I will reunite with him sooner or later…”

Xiao Feng patted Mu Ru Yue’s shoulder. His heart really ached for his sister. She had just gotten together with her beloved man with such difficulty, but so many commotions continued to arise…

“Eldest brother, I will first start to prepare for the Immortal Doctor Banquet.”

Mu Ru Yue smiled and didn’t say any further as she turned around and walked out of the Pill Tower, vanishing gradually from his gaze…

Xiao Feng felt as though something was stuck in his throat that he wasn’t able to make any reply. This woman was so strong when facing any situations. He greatly desired for her to just hug him and cry it out to relieve her stress.

But she didn’t….

Ye Wu Chen’s departure seemed to have not affected Mu Ru Yue greatly. She just cultivated daily as per usual. But only she knew that the reason why she was cultivating with all her might was to chase after his steps.
