Chapter 807 Being on Tenterhooks

Zhang Han pointed a finger at her forehead.

The blood essence in Mu Xue’s body affected her soul sense and dantian, forming a complicated mark on her forehead. Zhang Han’s eyes were shining, and a large number of soul sense gathered into the mark, causing the mark to emit dazzling light. Gradually, the mark dissipated, and Mu Xue’s own blood essence was reduced by one-third. But one-third of Zhang Han’s blood essence carrying his will had entered her body, which spread all over her dantian, soul sense sea, and internal organs.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Zhang Han wanted, he could make Mu Xue implode with a stir of his mind.

“From today on, you are my registered disciple,” Zhang Han said calmly.

“Yes!” Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling pleasantly surprised. She quickly cupped her hands and called, “Master!”

It was not until this moment that she felt that her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but she didn’t care. She was a little flustered, wondering if becoming a disciple of such a supreme master, oh no, a registered disciple, was actually a great opportunity, or a blessing in disguise?

“I’m going to pick up Mengmeng.”

Zhang Han didn’t want to waste any more time, so he told them that and went straight to the car.

“I’ll go with you.”

Zhang Guangyou sighed, looked at Mu Xue, and shook his head slightly. “Let’s get in the car and talk.”

“Yes! Grandmaster.”

Mu Xue quickly cupped her hands in agreement.

Zhang Guangyou was not quite used to it. He waved her off and said, “You don’t have to call me ‘grandmaster’. Just call me ‘Uncle Zhang’.”

“Yes, sir!”

The two of them then caught up with Zhang Han. When they were about to get in the car, Third Elder and First Elder, who had been out to chase the enemies, just came back.

“You can go back to the mountain now. We’ll go pick up Mengmeng.”

Zhang Guangyou waved at them and remarked. Then he got in the car, leaving the two elders staring at each other in confusion.

“They’re leaving just like that?”

Third Elder was a little stunned. “I still have a lot of things to ask them.”

“Me too! Alas, forget it. Young Lord is going to pick up his child, so he won’t pay attention to us. Let’s talk about it sometime in the evening.” First Elder sighed.

“That’s the only way. I didn’t expect him to be so strong.”

“…”

As the two talked, they cast their powers and became invisible in the air.

The car slowly made its way toward the western area, and the atmosphere in the car was a little dull.

Zhang Han was thinking while driving.

The secret skill, Thunder Sea, might be earth-shattering in the eyes of others, but from where he was standing, it was useless and had no corresponding ability. The Taiyi Wood Thunder was incredibly mighty, but that move did not display its power at all.

“There is still a big problem with the secret skill.”

“My previous way of refining is wrong. Not only did I not improve the power of Taiyi Wood Thunder, but I even weakened it by half. Otherwise, if I made good use of it, I would have killed them with one strike.”

“In that case, I ought to…”

Zhang Han began to replay and perfect the secret skill of the Thunder Sea in his mind.

Every powerful secret skill would grow more and more potent every time it was revised and developed.

While Zhang Han was thinking, Mu Xue, who was sitting in the back seat, still had tears in her eyes. She looked a little scared and was ill at ease as if sitting on tenterhooks, like a delicate woman who had been abused.

Zhang Guangyou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t help to tease. “Well, if Sect Leader Mu sees this, he will think that we have done something nasty to you. Remember you’re Mu Xue the Female Demon. Why are you still sobbing?”

At this question, Mu Xue sort of came back to her senses and said nervously, “I, I… I’m not strong at all. I’m a little scared by him because I can’t even compare to one in ten thousand of Master’s strength.”

Zhang Guangyou shook his head and said with a smile, “He is not a devil. Don’t be afraid.”

“How do you know that he is not a devil?”

Mu Xue thought of what she had seen before, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Her awe for Zhang Han was even more intense.

Seeing Mu Xue like this, Zhang Guangyou didn’t want her to be too nervous, so he struck a conversation by asking, “The gate of the worldlet has been opened for a while. But why did you just come out? Logically speaking, you should have come out with Ye Longyuan and the others, and your name should be on the Divine List.”

“It’s because my father asked me to stay longer and taught me some skills. As he was worried about me, he told me to break through to the peak before I go out.”

She was afraid that it would be dead silent when she was with Zhang Han. Now that someone began to talk, Mu Xue’s nervousness dissipated a lot. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and relaxed a little.

Then, she looked at Zhang Guangyou and asked, “Grand… Uncle Zhang, how come you are Master’s father? We have never heard of that before.”

“What else can it be?” Zhang Guangyou said in amusement, “I am his father. In the past, when our fight against the Wind Snow School got to the white-hot stage, I became kind of ill. My father was worried about me, so he asked me to hide in the secular world. And later, I met Han’s mother and had children with her.”

“Uncle Zhang is amazing.” Mu Xue praised him.

“Well, maybe.” Zhang Guangyou laughed. He knew what Mu Xue was talking about. Before she could explain in detail, Zhang Guangyou added, “Only with good genes can one be excellent. Like you, you are very talented, because Sect Leader Mu is a brilliant man.”

“My father’s genes are much inferior to yours.”

Zhang Guangyou had brought a devil king-like existence to this world. Mu Xue knew her genes couldn’t be compared to his at all.

Mu Xue could already imagine that in the near future, the Wind Snow School and all the other sects and alliances would all be wiped out by her master alone.

It seemed that the forces in this worldlet added up would not be as powerful as the 1% of that in the memory she saw.

This compliment she made quite pleased Zhang Guangyou. The more powerful Zhang Han was, the more it made Zhang Guangyou look better.

While they were talking, the car drove into the Western Zone. Zhang Han had finished his reflections and perfected the secret skill in many ways. When he heard Mu Xue’s words, he looked at the rearview mirror.

Meeting Zhang Han’s eyes, Mu Xue instantly became all uptight again.

“Master…” She sat upright with a cautious look on her face. She pinched her black shirt with both hands, pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and looked at Zhang Han without blinking, as if she was ready to take his orders at any time.

Seeing this, Zhang Han couldn’t help laughing.

“Don’t be so nervous around me.”

Zhang Han deliberated for a moment and said, “Since you are my registered disciple, I will tell you how this is gonna work. Your father is still here. I don’t care what method you use to persuade him that you have to stay in Xiangjiang to protect my wife, Zi Yan. I will keep you here for five… three years. Three years later, I will remove the mark and you will regain your freedom. Is that okay?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xue was slightly dazed.

She felt as if she had lost something.

She could stay alive, but she had become Zhang Hanyang’s registered disciple and lost her freedom. Nonetheless… it would be just three years. There was nothing she could lose. She could consider it as cultivating training in seclusion. Moreover, Zhang Hanyang was a freakishly strong master. If she could learn some cultivation method from him, wouldn’t she benefit a lot? Then, when she returned to the Luo Fu Sword Sect, she would really become the boss of the younger generation disciples.

Ding Jiuming who ranked 12th on the Divine List and all the other talents would have to listen to her!

Gradually, Mu Xue became pleasantly surprised. She nodded repeatedly and said, “Sure!”

“Hahaha…”

Zhang Han smiled.

This could also be considered another way to solve this problem. At least Zi Yan had a martial artist with relatively high fighting capacity as a guard, who was also a woman. That would get Zi Yan’s life easier.

“Well, during the time I protect Ma’am, can I bring a maid with me?” Mu Xue quickly blinked her eyes and asked.

She was not used to dealing with trivial things, such as booking tickets, carrying shopping bags, making arrangements for traveling and accommodation. She grew up like a princess. She was not raised to be a servant and did not want to handle the trivia.

However, given the current situation, she was prepared for the worst. Zhang Han had held her in great fear. That was to say, she would do whatever Zhang Han told her.

“It’s up to you.”

Under Mu Xue’s unease gaze, Zhang Han nodded and reminded her, “You decide what you should do, but don’t trouble others.”

“Yes. I’ll do as I’m told!” The corners of Mu Xue’s mouth slightly arched into somewhat a smirk.

Seeing that the car was near the kindergarten and Zhang Han smiled, who seemed to be in a good mood, Mu Xue felt that the opportunity had come. So she directly said what was on her mind.

“Master, now I’ve become your disciple, can you remove the mark on my forehead?”

“Demons Curse?”

Zhang Han parked the car on the side of the road of the kindergarten and turned to look at Mu Xue.

“You can’t cancel the Demons Curse just because you want to. There are rules to obey. You owe me 20,000 crystals. You can pay me back with the treasures with the value. For example, you have some defensive treasures on you. Give a couple of those to me and it’ll do.”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Zhang Guangyou suddenly coughed.

Why did he feel that his son seemed to be tricking Mu Xue into giving him her treasures?

However, Mu Xue was extremely obedient. She quickly took off eight kinds of spirit treasures, all of which were at the top of the fifth-stage and were quite precious.

“Master, I’m here to show my respect to you. They are all yours now.”

“Oh? What will you use then?” Zhang Han’s eyes rested on her.

“I’ll ask my father for more,” Mu Xue replied in a low voice.

The dialogue almost made Zhang Guangyou want to cough again. “Well, my son just tricked Mu Xue into giving him her treasures, and Mu Xue is gonna trick her father to give her more. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” He glanced at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was a little speechless. How could this be called a fraud? It was just a few treasures.

“Two of these will do.”

Zhang Han took away the two treasures that Zi Yan might need. Then he muttered in a low voice, and his right index finger shone slightly, and pressed that finger on Mu Xue’s forehead.

“Buzz!”

The words “in debt” appeared again, and then it became fainter and fainter and gradually disappeared.

“Is it gone?”

Mu Xue took out a palm-sized mirror and saw the glow of the mark fly out of her body. Instantly, her face was full of joy.

“The annoying thing is finally gone!”

She exclaimed happily, but then her expression froze. She looked at Zhang Han and added in a hurry, “No, no, I mean…”

She stuttered for quite a while and failed to make a point. Her face reddened a little in embarrassment.

Amused, Zhang Han glanced at her, then he opened the car door and went directly to the kindergarten.

Back then, he also thought that Mu Xue was a little demon. But once he got to know her, he found that she had other sides, and could be as cute as a neighbor’s little daughter.

However, he was also aware that if she did not see that clip of his memory and witnessed the strength he displayed, that demon would still be a demon, and she would not change at all.

This time, she was indeed frightened.

It was true that such a scene was also the bloodiest battle Zhang Han reckoned he had been through.

“My son is very easy-going. You will know when you get to know him,” Zhang Guangyou said with a smile when he saw her nervous look.

The Heavenly Knights Sect had always been on good terms with the Luo Fu Sword Sect. They would never do anything to Mu Xue if it was not for the fact that she had made such big trouble.

But Mu Xue knew very well that in that instant, Zhang Hanyang really wanted to kill her.
