Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-949

“Xia Rui.” Mu Ru Yue shifted her gaze to Xia Rui’s cold face. She walked slowly toward him. At that instant, an intense aura surged forth from her body.

“Hmph!” Xia Rui snorted coldly and said, “What are you planning to do? Your parents are still in my hands. If you dare to make a move on me, I dare to swear that they won’t be able to see tomorrow’s sun!”

“Is that so?” Mu Ru Yue smiled coldly as she continued, “I initially didn’t know how to deal with you. But now, you had come knocking on my doors…”

Xia Rui was startled. Just when he opened his mouth to speak, a pill was shot into his mouth. His expression changed drastically. He hastily tried to spit out the pill but, nonetheless, the medicine liquified instantly when it entered his mouth, the medicine power flowed into his body.

“What did you make me consume?” Xia Rui’s complexion turned ashen as he clenched his fists so tightly that they crackled.

“Poison.” Mu Ru Yue smirked as she continued casually, “Don’t worry. This poison temporarily won’t take your life. If you want the antidote, you must promise me their safety. If something were to happen to them, I will definitely make you live a life worse than death!”

‘Xia Rui had personally given me this chance.

‘A family like the Xia family always only care about themselves. Hence, it is impossible to use Xia Rui’s life in order to threaten the Xia family. If I were to poison Xia Rui in public and was known by the Xia family, Father and Mother’s situation would be even more dangerous.

‘But it is different now.

‘Nobody will know what I had done to Xia Rui now. Moreover, Xia Rui won’t be that idiotic to tell others about this. Otherwise, he will only be the one that suffers…

‘Currently, I can make use of Xia Rui to deal with some urgent matters. Xia Rui should at least not harm Father and Mother in order to protect his life…’

“You…” Xia Rui’s expression became increasingly cold. With a bloodthirsty glow in his eyes, he threatened, “Mu Ru Yue, do you think Mu Zheng can live peacefully without a need to worry or fret by helping him breakthrough to the Earth Realm? You’re wrong. There will be surely a day that will make you worry what you did today!”

“No better than each other!” Mu Ru Yue smirked as she continued, “But I can give you a warning. You will feel a pain as though your heart is being devoured by ants every night. Following this, you should try and savour that pain as that’s the price for your Xia family offending me!”

Xia Rui clenched his fists tightly and looked coldly at Mu Ru Yue as he demanded, “I want to take Chu Yun away!”

‘No matter what, I still have a lot of feelings for that woman…’

Chu Yun’s eyes lit up. She then looked at Shen Mo that was by her side. Her heart gradually became gloomy.

‘In comparison to Shen Mo, it seems it is still Xia Rui that loves me more…’

“I refuse!”

Mu Ru Yue raised her glacial eyes as she looked at the man’s ashen complexion and said, “You can go but… she can’t.”

“Mu Ru Yue, don’t forget your parents are still in my Xia family’s hand!” Xia Rui’s fists trembled slightly as he yelled furiously in a lowered voice.

“If you want to die, you can feel free to use them to threaten me.”

Mu Ru Yue glanced at him. But with just that glance, it made Xia Rui swallow the rest of his words…

‘I indeed love Chu Yun, but in comparison to Chu Yun, I love myself more…’

“Hmph!”

Xia Rui glanced at Chu Yun’s gravely pale face before turning his head to leave the Mu family’s manor without turning his head back…

“Rui!”

Chu Yun’s expression changed drastically as she yelled heart-wrenchingly. She no longer cared about anything to try and pounce toward Xia Rui. However, her path was blocked by a youth before she could reach Xia Rui’s side.
