After everyone left, Mu Caiwei looked at Ye Chen. There was some warmth in the depths of her cold eyes, “Stay in the fort for the next few days. Don’t wander around.”
She then turned around and left without giving Ye Chen a chance to reply.
Ye Chen smiled as he watched her leave.
After interacting with her for the past few days, he finally understood Mu Caiwei’s character. Just as Jiu’er had said, this woman was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Even though his marriage with her was fake, she still protected him in front of others and addressed herself as Mrs. Shi.
She ordered people to break Wang Chengliang’s legs directly and even warned Mu Xuanzhen for the sake of a useless person like him.
Ye Chen squinted and said, “She’s a good woman!”
At the same time, inside a mansion in the King Mu Fort, Mu Xuanzhen did not look as handsome as before, and his gaze was filled with a savage expression, “Father, I must kill that piece of trash. I must kill him…”
All these years, he had always treated Mu Caiwei as his exclusive property, and no one in the entire King Mu Fort dared to compete with him.
However, he had only gone out with his father for a month and when he returned, he realized that the situation had changed drastically. The woman that he had chosen had married a piece of trash.
Just a moment ago, this woman humiliated him for the piece of trash, and that had caused his killing intent to soar!
In front of him was an old man in black and white robes. He stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, “The fort master and his daughter have been acting more and more arrogantly these years…
“Since that’s the case, we won’t be participating in the martial gathering three days from now. Let Mu Caiwei participate alone!”
Following his words, Mu Xuanzhen was stunned at first. He then recovered from his shock and said happily, “Father really has a great plan. Mu Caiwei alone isn’t a match for the other powerhouses. By then, you will make an appearance and threaten the fort master to cripple that brat…”
…
In King Mu Fort’s study, King Mu looked at Mu Caiwei, who was standing in front of him, with a complicated expression. He hesitated and said, “Caiwei, you shouldn’t have done that earlier!”
As the fort master of the King Mu Fort, nothing could escape his eyes.
“Father, I don’t think I did anything wrong!”
Mu Caiwei bit her red lips and said with determination, “Regardless whether I have feelings for Shi Qianhan or not, since I married him, I’m his wife!
“Since I’m his wife, how can I bear to see my husband being humiliated? Furthermore, he’s being insulted by his own people.”
King Mu’s lips moved slightly, “But…”
“I know what you want to say!”
Mu Caiwei spoke first, “You’re trying to say that Shi Qianhan and I are only faking our marriage, but in the eyes of outsiders, that’s not the case. If we sit by and watch him being bullied in the fort, the outsiders might guess what’s going on if they find out.”
King Mu sighed softly and said helplessly, “But you don’t humiliate Xuanzhen in public.”
“Humiliate him?”
Mu Caiwei’s voice was slightly cold, “He clearly knows that Shi Qianhan is my husband, yet he still brazenly brought people to provoke me. It’s clear that he doesn’t take me seriously. I’m punishing Wang Chengliang to warn him and everyone else that no matter what happens to Shi Qianhan, he’s still my husband. No one is allowed to be rude to him!”
Just as the father and daughter were talking, there was a knock on the door. A thin old man stood outside.
Mu Caiwei said, “Uncle Hai, what is it?”
“Fort master, young mistress!”
Uncle Hai looked at the father and daughter duo and said hesitantly, “The Grand Elder ordered me to bring a message earlier. He said he and his son aren’t feeling well. I’m afraid they won’t be able to participate in the martial gathering three days later!”
King Mu’s expression changed slightly when he heard that, and he said with a cold snort, “Caiwei, look, what you’re afraid of really comes true. Mu Sansi is starting to threaten me!”
Mu Caiwei’s charming face turned pale as well. She took a deep breath in and said, “Father, don’t worry. Three days from now, I’ll definitely do my best to obtain the management rights of the Spirit Fog Island for our King Mu Fort!”
…
In the next three days, apart from going to the library daily, Ye Chen stayed in his room to study the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet.
It could be said that he was being obedient to be staying in the fort.
King Mu and his daughter were very satisfied with that. They were afraid that Ye Chen would be restless and would cause them a lot of trouble.
Naturally, the people from the Grand Elder’s family were secretly displeased. They had planned to stir trouble with Ye Chen under the Grand Elder’s instructions. They did not expect Ye Chen to not even give them a chance.
With Ye Chen’s current status, he could naturally enter the second floor of the King Mu Fort’s library to read more books. However, to his disappointment, the second floor was filled with cultivation manuals.
On the contrary, it was the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet that made a slight unexpected discovery.
Whenever Ye Chen channeled his spiritual energy into the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet, strange words would appear on it.
To be precise, these were not words, but rather some side characters. Ye Chen found the notes of the Ancient Desolate Realm from the library. He then compared them one by one.
In the end, he forcefully read the words on the stone tablet. Surprisingly, it was the words ‘Long live the Qin Empire’.
“The Qin Empire?”
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered, “I don’t think this Qin Empire is the Qin Empire from Earth, unless Qin Shi Huang transmigrated as well. What do these words mean?
“And what’s Qianqian’s relationship with the Qin Empire? Could she be the princess of the empire?”
He ceaselessly searched through the information within the library in the King Mu Fort, and the strange thing was that there was no record of the Qin Empire at all.
Just as he was about to turn to Mu Caiwei for help, Mu Caiwei came knocking on his door the next night.
“Tomorrow will be the martial gathering that happens once every three years in the Tianfeng sea area!”
Mu Caiwei went straight to the point and said, “When the time comes, I’ll be participating with my father. As for you, you can stay at the King Mu Fort considering your safety. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely do what I promised you!”
She agreed to help Ye Chen get the so-called Heavenly Origin Fruit and find a way to help him recover his cultivation base.
“No!”
However, Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I’ll go with you guys when the time comes. You guys don’t have to worry about my safety. I can protect myself!”
The Earth Immortal Fruit would mature tomorrow. By then, it would definitely cause a phenomenon, causing others to covet it. How could he miss this opportunity?
“That’s up to you!”
Mu Caiwei’s brows furrowed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of her lips, and her face turned extremely pale.
Ye Chen frowned and said, “Have you been cultivating too much?”
Through Divine Consciousness he could sense that the True Energy in her body was abnormally stirred. It was obviously due to her cultivating too much and was on the verge of going berserk.
“It’s none of your business!”
Mu Caiwei wiped away the blood and turned around to leave. The entire process seemed straightforward. She had no intention of talking to Ye Chen at all.
“She knows that it’s impossible, but she still did it!”
Ye Chen watched her leave and lifted his head to look at the sky. He mumbled, “Yuhan, wait for me. I’ll be back after I obtained the Earth Immortal Fruit!”
