Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-543

Mu Ru Yue was a little stunned when she looked at the expression of the youth that comprised of grief and anger. Perhaps the youth gave her a feeling similar to her younger brother in Hua Xia so she couldn’t help but to treat him in the same fashion.

Yet, Ye Wu Chen previously had also evoked her memories of that little fellow in Hua xia. But she didn’t do this…

It seemed that her personality changed without her notice.

“About that…” Mu Ru Yue continued, slightly apologetic, “I have a younger brother, but I haven’t seen him in ages. You are about the same age as him so I misunderstood you as him for a moment.”

“Younger brother?” The youth lifted his fine and long eyelashes with a trace of apprehensiveness in his large clear eyes. It was as though there was a vicious beast before him.

He slightly pursed his lips and continued with a weak voice, “My grandfather had told me that there are many bad guys outside of the family, including child traffickers. You… it can’t be that you are planning on kidnapping me, right? My meat isn’t in the slightest tasty. It’s true.”

‘Child trafficker?’

Astonishment was expressed in Mu Ru Yue’s eyes.

‘Can it be I look like a child trafficker?’

The youth glanced at her before continuing, “Grandfather also said that child traffickers will try to impersonate as my family member. Following that, they will kidnap me to an unknown place. You said that I look like your younger brother so you must be planning on abducting and selling me.”

Mu Ru Yue’s brows rose slightly as she sized the thin and feeble youth from the top to the bottom.

It was undeniable that the youth was indeed really handsome. He looked like a beautiful and handsome youth that came out from a manga. His slender and thin body gave an impression that he could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

However, Mu Ru Yue smirked subconsciously after hearing the youth’s words. “It can’t be that your wisdom hasn’t matured, right?”

‘This fellow seems to be about fifteen and sixteen years of age. But his wisdom obviously doesn’t match up to it.

‘Can it be he is a second Wu Chen to be pretending as a fool?’

“Are you saying that I am a fool?” The youth bit his lips. With a layer of distinct mist in his large clear eyes, he continued, “I’m not a fool. It is grandfather that told me that there are several bad guys out of the family. This is my first time leaving my home and had already encountered several bad guys. I never planned on killing them. They were always the one that provoked me first. I then couldn’t control my powers that ended up in me killing all of them.”

Mu Ru Yue chuckled. It seemed that the youth wasn’t a fool, but he was just being sheltered all his life. Hence, he didn’t understand much of the outside world. Overall, he was just an innocent youth.

“You’re right. There are many bad guys outside here.” A ray of light flashed in Mu Ru Yue’s eyes as she smirked sinisterly and continued, “You may even end up being sold to a low-grade brothel.”

His fine and long eyelashes trembled as the youth looked curiously at Mu Ru Yue and asked, “What is a low-grade brothel?”

Mu Ru Yue glanced at the corpse on the ground and with a slight raise of her eyebrows, she explained, “You will meet up with many men like this guy in there.”

The youth’s body clearly shuddered as he glanced fearfully at the man on the ground. He then asked in a trembling voice, “Then… then what should I do?”

He nearly cried out as he said that.

Mu Ru Yue had always been a selfish person that would use any means possible to get what she wanted. Thus, she had caught her eyes on this youth’s power. To be precise, it would be his background so she had purposely said all those just to scare him.

But it was obscure to Mu Ru Yue that she actually felt a little guilty after seeing the fear in the youth’s eyes that was naked to the eye…

Mu Ru Yue probably would think that this youth was trying to get close with her on purpose if this was in the Central Region. She had her powers and status there, not to mention there was Zi Feng that was always eyeing covetously.
