Chapter 148 – To Pay (2)

“The city boundary map?!” He had never seen rumored map before, but as the crown prince, he naturally heard many legends about it. Legend has it that in it were countless inner Qi cultivation methods that people could choose to cultivate; some seven go as far as tell that endless gold and silver treasures piled up like a mountain. And most importantly, just by obtaining it, one could revive an empire.

And part of such an earth-shattering artifact was now in their hands.

Ye Mu continued, “The reason why Ye Li disregarded his own safety and the odds stacked against him and rushed fearlessly into Imperial Palace was because of this map—the late Yue emperor carried a part of this map on his back. Unfortunately, it’s only incomplete, and the remaining parts are still unknown.”

When Mo Linyuan heard this, he kept the map, a solemn look in place. “It’s alright. This is already a pleasant surprise. We still have a long time to slowly gather it.”

After Mo Linyuan finished speaking, he remembered that Ye Mu hadn’t eaten yet. He quickly brought the congee over and fed it himself to Ye Mu. The worry in his heart still hadn’t subsided at all.

“You are now…also a cultivator the Divine Terminator Arts?”

Ye Mu didn’t hide anything and nodded truthfully. “During that time, Ye Li had given me all of his inner Qi. Therefore, I can only learn this cultivation technique to prevent it from causing my body to burst.”

Mo Linyuan grimaced. “Nevertheless, although Ye Li is brutal, he wasn’t able to lose his…consciousness. Why did you…” he trailed off.

Ye Mu had a bitter expression on her face, “I’m not too sure either. And if I continue practicing this martial art, I’ll surely become a devil when I grow up. I’ll only speed up the process every time I dabbled in it…”

Seeing that Mo Linyuan’s phoenix eyes had dimmed, his self-blame apparent by the minute, she quickly said, “But it doesn’t matter anymore, my meridians are damaged, and I can’t use Qi. So… I shouldn’t go senseless–for now, that is.” Hastily trying to change the subject she continued, “As for you, you are already the emperor now. How can you still be surrounded by so many assassins?”

Five hundred inner force masters were not just for show. What did Mo Linyuan do?

As she spoke of this, Mo Linyuan gradually calmed down. In the past few days, he had not gone to look for that woman in worry of Ye Mu, but it did not mean in the slightest that the matter was over—not at all.

“You did remind me.” After he took care of Ye Mu, he dutifully covered her with the blanket as he spoke.

“You should continue resting. I’ll go take care of some matters. I’ll be right back.”

Ye Mu was really weak at this moment. She nodded her head and saw Mo Linyuan leave without looking back. Ye Mu didn’t know why, but she felt that Mo Linyuan’s back was overflowing with a palpable killing intent.

What was he going to do?

The empress dowager was currently lying on the bed, sick and frail. Her delicate and fierce face was now haggard; she had only woken up this morning after passing out, and her vitality was greatly damaged. Her private imperial physician had recommended that she had better take a good rest and not suffer any more irritable moods, lest, the damage on her body would be irreparable.

Naturally following this, the empress dowager recuperated. But then, someone had noisily barged inside her quarters!

Who is it? Who would be so bold?!

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Yunqin’s already tired face darkened and she fiercely glowered at the entrance. It turns out the one who entered was none other than Mo Linyuan, who was wearing the dragon robe.

The eleven-year-old youth stood tall, his spine straight. When he looked at the people around, his eyes were filled with a faint smile. If he could ignore the lingering murderous aura emanating from his body, he could have looked harmless to the extreme.

“How dare you!” When Zhao Yunqin saw him, she panicked and immediately cried out! Since she already had a blatant fall out with him, she couldn’t be bothered to continue pretending as a kind grandmother. She stared at him icily and said, “This empress dowager is obviously sick. What is the meaning of this–barging in without any word?”

Her fierce expression made Mo Linyuan even smile brighter. He beamed as he approached her, but the growing aggressive aura around him made no one dare to stop him.

“Of course, I’m here to visit Royal Grandmother! If five hundred people died, my grandmother would naturally be very sad.”
