While they were talking, they noticed Ye Chen who was far away.
The white clothed woman glanced at him before she turned around and said to Jiu’er who stood by her side, “Ask him to come to my carriage. There’s something that I need to ask him!”
…
Inside an extremely luxurious horse carriage, Ye Chen observed the woman in white in front of him at a close distance. Even though she was wearing a veil, there was no secret in his eyes.
He had to admit that she was the second woman he had checked out apart from Su Yuhan. Both her charisma and appearance were not inferior to Su Yuhan.
The only thing that was lacking was the lack of a smile on the woman’s face. She was like a snow mountain that had not melted for years. She looked very cold.
As he studied the woman, the daughter of the King Mu Fort’s fort master, the most beautiful woman in Tianfeng City and even in the entire Tianfeng sea area, Mu Caiwei, was sizing him up.
Although his facial features were average, his temperament was not bad. The way he looked at her was not as possessive as the rest.
She nodded to herself. She, Mu Caiwei, had a very simple way of looking at people. Unlike other women, she paid attention to a person’s appearance and facial features.
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the car, Ye Chen broke the silence first, “Thank you for saving my life, Ms. Mu!”
“You don’t have to thank me!”
Mu Caiwei’s beautiful eyes were cold as she said without any appreciation, “The reason I saved you was purely because that little girl Jiu’er couldn’t bear to see you die out there. She pleaded on your behalf many times before I agreed.”
Ye Chen was stunned, “Jiu’er?”
“That’s right. To be honest, no one else agreed to let me save you. Only Jiu’er pleaded on your behalf. This girl has been adopted by the King Mu Fort since she was a child. She has a weak personality and can’t bear to see others suffer!”
Mu Caiwei nodded slightly and said, “She has been taking care of you these past few days. For you, she, who has never been good at riding, gave you the carriage and rode alone.”
Ye Chen was shocked.
Mu Caiwei interrupted his thoughts and examined him, “Doctor Hu said that you were a martial artist before you were injured. For you to be able to survive such a serious injury, you must have been quite powerful previously. Your status shouldn’t be simple either. Shouldn’t you be talking about yourself now?”
Although she did not chase Ye Chen away because of Jiu’er, it did not mean that she was soft-hearted. Her cousin was right. This person’s identity was unknown, and she had to interrogate him.
“I’m Shi Qianhan. I was chased by my enemies and had no choice but to flee into the Hidden Fog Swamp. Unexpectedly, my injuries acted up and I fell to the ground…”
Ye Chen told the story that he had come up with earlier.
Mu Caiwei kept staring at his face as if she was secretly trying to figure out the credibility of his words. However, to her disappointment, Ye Chen, a thousand-year-old demon, would not be seen through by her.
After hearing that, Mu Caiwei fell silent for a few seconds before asking, “What was your cultivation base before this?”
Ye Chen said, “Illuminating Pulse!”
“So you hadn’t achieved the innate stage!”
Mu Caiwei was slightly disappointed immediately when she heard that. At the same time, a huge rock slowly descended from her heart, and then she said, “Then what are your plans now?”
She was worried that Ye Chen’s identity was too complicated. It would easily bring disaster to the King Mu Fort. However, she was completely relieved after knowing that Ye Chen only had Illuminating Pulse cultivation base.
After all, she was an innate grandmaster.
Ye Chen said slowly, “I want to ask Ms. Mu for a map. I’ll leave after I recover my strength. I won’t trouble you guys!”
Now, he had to figure out where he was so that he could think of a way to return to China.
“I can give you the map!”
Mu Caiwei furrowed her brows, “But don’t even think about recovering your cultivation. I’ve already checked for you. Your martial vein has been damaged and your cultivation has been lost. It’s impossible for you to cultivate in this lifetime!”
At this point, she hesitated for a moment before continuing, “For Jiu’er’s sake, you can come back to the King Mu Fort with me. As for whether you want to go or stay, that will depend on yourself.”
After saying that, she sent him away.
Ye Chen was going to ask something, but he shook his head and walked out of the carriage in the end.
A young man who was standing far away witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with coldness.
He seemed to have thought of something and walked to Ye Chen’s side immediately. He said softly, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Wang Chengliang, Caiwei’s cousin. At the same time, I’m also the guard captain of theKing Mu Fort. I’m a grandmaster.”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “What are you trying to say?”
Wang Chengliang smirked coldly and said, “Let me give you a piece of advice. Caiwei isn’t a person that a piece of trash like you can meddle with. If you know what’s good for you, disappear from her sight as soon as possible.”
At the end of his speech, he looked down at Ye Chen in a condescending manner, “I know you were a cultivator before, but don’t forget that even if you’re at your peak, I can crush you like an ant.”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Chen looked at his back as he walked away. He chuckled softly and said, “Looks like it’s another crush of Mu Caiwei’s!”
After saying that, he walked towards his own carriage. However, when he passed by a bush, his footsteps paused.
There was a pile of feces under his feet. It was the feces of Demonic Beasts, and there were a lot of it around him.
“Demonic Beasts? There are also Demonic Beasts in this world?”
Ye Chen secretly frowned and said all of a sudden, “That’s not right. There’s Demon Bait Powder on the Demonic Beasts’ feces!”
The so-called Demon Bait Powder was the powder refined from the Demon Bait Herb. Although it was harmless to humans, it was like a lethal poison to Demonic Beasts.
Demon Bait Powder was usually used to lure Demonic Beasts and kill them!
However, Mu Caiwei’s fleet had only passed by this place, so there was no need for them to waste their time scattering the Demon Bait Powder.
Ye Chen took a deep look at the carriage where Mu Caiwei was as he thought to this point. His eyes flickered a few times before he returned to the carriage.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
Jiu’er entered the carriage with a roasted deer thigh. With a blushed face, she said, “Big Brother Shi, this is the deer that Young Master Wang and the rest just caught. The young mistress asked me to send it over to you.”
Ye Chen glanced at her with a spurious smile, “Did your young mistress ask you to send it over, or did you deliver it secretly?”
Jiu’er’s face was flushing more and more. She lowered her head and stammered, not knowing what to say.
Ye Chen took the deer thigh over and cut it into two. He passed half of it to her and said while smiling, “Let’s eat together!”
Jiu’er nodded and asked while eating, “Big Brother Shi, the young mistress didn’t say much to you, right?”
At the end of her sentence, her expression turned gloomy, “Brother Shi, if the young mistress had said anything nasty, I hope you don’t take it to heart. She’s actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She treats us quite well.”
Ye Chen looked outside through the carriage window while eating the deer thigh, “Jiu’er, don’t walk around tonight. Stay by my side!”
“Huh? Stay by your side?”
Jiu’er was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to have thought of something, causing her beautiful face to flush even more as if it was bleeding.
Ye Chen did not care what she was thinking. He looked at the moon in the sky through the window with a gloomy expression, ‘I suppose everyone at home thinks that I’m dead now? Dad, mom, Yuhan, and little girl Mengmeng…’
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Jiu’er secretly observed him. Her heart ached for no reason when she saw the sadness in Ye Chen’s eyes.
The girl’s mind was in a mess. She was both disappointed and conflicted, ‘Brother Shi must be missing the person he likes!’
Under the silent moonlight, most of the campgrounds were asleep. Only a dozen or so Mu family warriors who were in charge of keeping watch guarded vigilantly. The bonfire in the middle of the campgrounds would occasionally crackle.
After some time, Jiu’er, who was in a daze, dozed off and leaned her head against Ye Chen’s arm subconsciously.
Roar…
An earth-shattering roar came from the depths of the forest all of a sudden. Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at that moment, “They’re finally here…”
