Enchantress Amongst Alchemists Ghost King's Wife Chapter 1139-1140

Chapter 1139- Sealed Grounds Part 4

"This place should be the North Wind Plains."
The North Wind was blowing on the plains. Mu Ru Yue pulled her windbreaker, raising her head to look at the boundless plains before her.
"But now, we are to search for the Nanyang Region of the North Wind Plains!"
Ye Wu Chen lowered his gaze to look at the side of the woman's impeccable face. With a slight smile, he said, "Let's go. I hope we can reach the Nanyang region within three days…"
Swish!
Swish! Swish!
The North Wind blew across the leaves, making the leaves give off rustlings sounds.
Yet, several figures leaped out from the thicket, blocking Mu Ru Yue's and Ye Wu Chen's path.
The leader was a lean and small-built youth from within that group of people. He pointed the knife in his hand toward the two of them as he threatened sinisterly, "We are the people of the Ba Wang (domineering king) Bandit Group. You are to quickly give us all of your valuables. Otherwise, you are not allowed to pass through this path1!"
"Wang Ba (bastard) Bandit Group? Cough! Cough!" Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but stifle her laughs with coughs. With a smile in her eyes, she commented, "I didn't expect someone will come up with such a name."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The little fella glared at Mu Ru Yue as he said furiously, "We are the Ba Wang Bandit Group, not Wang Ba. You are the damnable bastard instead! Quickly hand over your valuables."
"I'm sorry."
Mu Ru Yue smirked slightly with glimmers that flickered a couple of times in her eyes.
"I don't have any valuables on me."
"You have nothing on you?" The little fella widened his eyes as he said, "Where have you gotten the courage to appear before our Wang Ba… Oh no, Ba Wang Bandit Group's eyes when you have nothing on you! Goddammit! I'm too unlucky today. The first person I tried to rob has no valuables!"
Mu Ru Yue was stunned this time.
'Did he believe what I said just like that? If so, how can he be a bandit?'
"About that…" Glimmers shone past Mu Ru Yue's eyes as she said with a smile, "Even though I have nothing on me, my people are behind. You can capture me and ask them for ransom after."
The little fella was stunned before he suddenly laughed heartily.
"Woman, are you an idiot? I've already decided to let you off. Yet, you expose your wealth. Since you want to be captured that badly, I can grant you that wish. Someone, capture these two fellas back to the mountain."
Ye Wu Chen didn't say a word from the start. This was due to him believing that Mu Ru Yue must be wanting to rip someone off again by doing so.
The corner of his lips curved up uncontrollably, enhancing the beauty of his appearance…
"Chief! Chief! I've captured two people back!"
The little fella exclaimed upon entering the mountain door on top of a mountain.
Following that, there was a crude, robust man that came dashing out from within the mountain door. He chided with a black face, "Wang Shu (king tree), have water ended your brain? I had sent you out to rob people. Yet, what the fuck are you thinking by capturing two people back or do you want me to feed two more people?"
"Chief, please listen to my explanation first." The little fella explained, feeling wronged, "They don't have money on them. I originally planned to make them scram. However, this woman suggested I capture her and then ask for ransoms after. Therefore, I brought them here."
The robust man looked strangely at Mu Ru Yue and said, "Does this woman has mental issues? You allowed her to leave but she, in the end, offered herself to be captured by us? I've been a bandit for many years but I've never seen such fool like herself before…"
'If this fellow isn't mentally impaired, she must be a fool then! Otherwise, how can she commit such an idiotic act?'

Chapter 1140 - Sealed Grounds Part 5

The little fella known was Wang Shu rubbed the back of his head before he suggested, "Chief, how about heading to the hall first before continuing to chat?"
"Then quickly bring them along."
The robust man brandished his hand, shaking his head and sighed.
'Such an outstanding beauty turned out to be a fool. It's truly a pity…'
Mu Ru Yue was able to clearly know that the lean and petite youth was called Wang Shu while the robust man was Wang Ba Bandit Group's Chief, Wang Hai (king sea). They were blood brothers, but their appearance was greatly different.
Wang Hai, who was beaming, was discussing with Wang Shu that was at his side within the hall.
"These two people don't seem to be ordinary. It is especially so for that man with purple eyes. It seems to be a nobleman. How much ransom shall we ask from the subordinates for these two people?"
"Ten thousand Gold coins?"
Wang Shu extended a finger as he suggested conservatively.
Pow!
Wang Hai's fist landed on his head as he rebuked fiercely, "Are you a fool? These twi people seem to be rich nobleman and lady. How can ten thousand Gold coins suffice? We will demand at least want a hundred thousand gold coins. No! A million Gold coins instead. We will judge by situation at that time. If possible, we will demand for spiritual stones instead! No matter what, spiritual stones that can help in improving cultivation is much better than gold coins. With might, we can rob even more people."
"Chief, you are more ambitious than me."
Wang Shu gave a thumbs-up as he replied in awe.
"You just need to learn from me from now on!"
Wang Ba raised his head complacently upon being complimented before saying in a tutoring tone.
When the two of them were happily discussing about the ransom, an indifferent voice was heard from their side. "How can a million Gold coins be enough? How about I give the two of you a billion instead?"
"That's wonderful!"
Wang Hai nodded as he subconsciously turned his head to face the person that said that. He got a shock. His heart nearly leaped out from his chest…
"Ar-aren't you supposed to be tied up?"
Mu Ru Yue smiled slightly as she said, "What do you think?"
"You…"
Just when Wang Hai wanted to say something, a sinister cold aura pressured from in front of him, making him feel as if he had fallen into hell…
He raised his head in astonishment; his eyes instantly met with a pair of sinister purple eyes.
The man's eyes was so gloomy that it was terrifying. A really long shadow could be seen from his slender and tall figure under the sunlight. It was indeed that sinister and terrifying…
"How can mere ropes be able to tie us couple up?"
Ye Wu Chen smiled but his gaze looked down upon the brothers before him.
Swish!
A sinister cold aura spread outwards from him, circling within the entire hall…
"I can give the two of you a chance. One, you surrender willingly!"
Wang Shu's body shivered from fright as he asked timidly, "What is the second?"
"The second…" Ye Wu Chen's brow raised slightly as he said sinisterly, "will be to be beaten to submission!"
Plop!
Wang Shu knelt to the ground as he shrieked, "Wh-who are you people?"
This man's cultivation was similarly at the God-general Peak realm as them. Yet, it was obscure why the Wang family's brothers felt they weren't his match…
Mu Ru Yue smiled and said, "This is my first time coming to the North Wind Plains. I don't have any subordinates to help me do odd jobs. I find I've good predestined affinity with your Wang Ba Bandit Group. Thus, I wonder if you will be willing to be my subordinates."
"It is Ba Wang Bandit Group." Wang Shu rebuked weakly as he continued, "Moreover, we are bandits. How can we do odd jobs? I definitely won't do it…"
