Chapter 396
Let’s hug
In the serene courtyard, the doors opened. Inside the house, before a small brownish purple wooden side table that was covered with many symbols stood a pale and handsome man, his eyes were closed, as though he was waiting for someone.
Not long later.
“Young Master Qing, Miss Huai Rou is here.”
Xiao Cui’s voice came from outside the house.
Su Yun opened his eyes and walked towards the door. He saw Huai Rou Mu Yu standing by the door watching him quietly, he immediately revealed a warm smile: “Miss Huai Rou, quickly come in.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu nodded her head, she spoke softly to the servant beside her, then grabbed the end of her skirt, she gently lifted it up slightly and walked into the house.
Upon entering, an intoxicating fragrant scent came out.
The two of them sat down, Su Yun then poured a cup of tea for Huai Rou Mu Yu.
“Please, have some tea.”
“Thank you.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu nodded and extended her slender and delicate fingers to pinch the handle of the teacup, but used only her lips to touch the cup and sipped slightly, before putting it down and spoke: “Xiao Cui said that Young Master has some matters to ask Mu Yu, can I ask? What request does Young Master Qing have?”
When she said that, Su Yun’s mouth curved up by the corners, he revealed a smile and leaned in towards Huai Rou Mu Yu and said: “Miss Mu Yu, you and I are going to be dual cultivation partners, so, you should not reject a little favor from your future husband right?”
He went in extremely close, to the point of being rude!
Huai Rou Mu Yu frowned very slightly, but her face did not reveal any disgust, she gently nodded her head and said: “You and I are bound with the lifelong wishes of our seniors, Mu Yu will never reject it. Since we are dual cultivation companions, I will naturally help you with the best of my abilities. Young Master Qing, whatever your request is, there is no harm in speaking it out.”
Hearing that, Su Yun looked left and right, then spoke softly: “In truth, it isn’t anything difficult, we all know that the Huai Rou Family is a trading aristocratic family, and have uncountable treasures, since we are going to be husband and wife, then I will not hide it from you either. In truth, the reason why I went out for an experience, was because I obtained a treasure which is extremely powerful, many spirit cultivators let their imaginations run wild and what I would call the ignorant person should be innocent, as another person’s talent would incite the envy of others. After obtaining the treasure, I was worried about being schemed against and did not dare put it with me, because if I were to carry it with me, other people would definitely realise it. With my current low cultivation, they all know that I have the treasure, thus putting me in a predicament.”
“Oh, so it is like that.” Huai Rou Mu Yu blinked her eyes and looked at Su Yun and said: “Then, Young Master Qing, what object is this that you speak of?”
“The Nine Emperor Prints.”
“I have never heard of it.”
“Your Huai Rou Family has too many treasures and is virtually uncountable. Although the object is a treasure to me, but it might not be in your eyes.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu did not say anything, she hesitated for a moment then asked: “Young Master Qing, what do you hope that I can do for you?”
“I wanted to ask if I could borrow a treasure yours that can conceal the information on the proof of qualifications and conceal my own Spirit Qi. Aren’t we attending the Pill Furnace General Assembly tonight? Only with that will I dare to leave home.” Su Yun revealed an awkward smile.
“Oh?” Huai Rou Mu Yu revealed a look of shock: “No wonder Young Master Qing didn’t wish to meet your brothers and sisters and only want to see me, so you were afraid”
“Miss Mu Yu, you are truly sharp and elegant.”
“But I can’t sense the Spirit Qi of the treasure on you.”
“I placed it in the forbidden grounds behind the house, the forbidden grounds emits a Spirit Qi that can conceal the Spirit Qi of the treasure.”
“So it was like that.” Huai Rou Mu Yu nodded her head and then said: “My Huai Rou Family truly has many treasures to the point of being uncountable, I have what you desire. Since it is so, I will quickly get Xiao Hong to bring the treasure.”
“Mu Yu, you treat me too well!”
Su Yun feigned excitement, he immediately grabbed Huai Rou Mu Yu’s seemingly boneless hands.
In that moment, Su Yun felt as if his crude hands had grabbed onto soft silk which were extremely smooth, making him not wanting to let go.
Huai Rou Mu Yu was startled for a moment, before anxiously retracting her hands.
Su Yun however, did not have any intention of letting go, instead, his eyes burned passionately as he looked at Huai Rou Mu Yu. He chuckled for a moment, then pulled, instantly pulling Huai Rou Mu Yu into his bosom.
Huai Rou Mu Yu was the proud daughter of the Huai Rou Family, when have she ever received such an act? She regained her senses and anxiously pushed Su Yun away, she stood up and glared at him.
“Young Master Qing! Please conduct yourself properly!”
“What is it about conducting myself, you are going to become my person, this shouldn’t be too much right?”
Su Yun said in puzzlement, and then shamelessly went to hug Huai Rou Mu Yu.
But he was just a fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivation, how could he do anything to her?
Huai Rou Mu Yu raised her snow white hands, and gently pressed onto Su Yun’s chest, causing him to fly out, smashing heavily onto a cabinet behind. He rolled on the ground, looking extremely terrible.
He struggled to stand up, a few cuts had appeared across his face. The cabinet was also a treasure, and upon the impact, the Spirit Qi was forced out, cutting onto his face, causing him to turn bloody.
Huai Rou Mu Yu saw that and frowned, she walked over and was about to extend her hand out to heal Su Yun, but he covered his face, with a gloomy expression: “Mu Yu, what are you doing? I just wanted a hug, we are going to be married soon, unless this is not allowed?”
“Although the marriage has been set, but we are still not officially married yet, before marriage, you and I have to treat each other as honored guests and not go overboard, Mu Yu has always done things by the rules and will definitely not do anything that goes against the rules, before we get married, I hope that Young Master will be self disciplined.” Huai Rou Mu Yu said calmly.
“Y-you, why are you so conservative? After marriage, will you be able to dual cultivate with me?”
“We shall talk about the future in the future.” Huai Rou Mu Yu could not conceal the flush in her face and spoke softly: “Young Master Qing, just now, I went overboard, let Mu Yu help you recover.”
“No need, I will settle myself, sigh, this is truly boring.”
Su Yun crawled up, he did not bother about Huai Rou Mu Yu and headed towards the room at the back alone.
Huai Rou Mu Yu looked at him quietly, and did not say a word.
“Young Master Qing, are you feeling better?”
“Almost”
“Since it is so, then Mu Yu will first take my leave, the treasure that you require will be sent over.”
“Alright, thank you!”
“I will take my leave now.”
Huai Rou Mu Yu turned and left.
Upon leaving, Su Yun’s weak face immediately calmed down and the pain instantly disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Cui rushed in anxiously. Seeing that Su Yun was covered in blood, she was shocked, and immediately turned to find medication.
“Don’t trouble yourself Xiao Cui, although my cultivation isn’t high, but this sort of injury is nothing to a fifth stage Spirit Star cultivator, just by activating a bit of Spirit Qi, it will disappear.”
Su Yun smiled.
“Young Master, what happened?” Xiao Cui was tearing up already.
“I wanted to do somethings to Huai Rou Mu Yu, let her think that Nan Gong Qing is a pervert, and increase the disgust towards Nan Gong Qing, to force her to rescind the engagement.”
“And what was the result.”
“This Huai Rou Mu Yu is rather patient.”
“Then your injuries…”
“I purposely made her react subconsciously to attack me, I purposely created these wounds. The goal is for me to be able to wear a hat to cover my looks to participate the Pill Furnace General Assembly tonight.”
Su Yun smiled.
Although wearing a hat would be suspicious, but by using the excuse that Huai Rou Mu Yu inflicted those wounds, he believed that no one would dare say anything. Su Yun did not dare use the Shapeshift Bonepiece to transform into Nan Gong Qing to participate in the General Assembly. Furthermore, the Nan Gong Qing that Huai Rou Mu Yu recognized was not the same as what everyone recognized, luckily for them however, Nan Gong Qing had left behind a treasure that changed his voice and with that, it would be sufficient. For a small treasure that could change the voice, no one would even bother about it.
“Must you participate in the Pill Furnace General Meeting? Isn’t it better to not participate?” Xiao Cui asked worryingly.
“We don’t have much time, If I keep staying in the house, the interaction between Huai Rou Mu Yu and I will be very little, I cannot do anything like that. Since we are trying to force her to rescind the engagement, we need to take the initiative, this Pill Furnace General Meeting is a good opportunity to do so.” Su Yun replied.
~If Nan Gong Qing’s parents were to come back, it will be terrible, I need to quickly end this, the sooner the better.~
Su Yun had nothing to fear, even if he failed, he could just run away.
Xiao Cui nodded her head, showing that she understood.
Very quickly, night fell.
The Ultimate Martial World’s night sky was different from Sky Martial Continent, the sky had three moons, so it was not very dark.
Su Yun returned from the forbidden grounds back to the house feeling refreshed. Xiao Cui had already prepared a hat with extremely low rims and Huai Rou Mu Yu had sent Xiao Hong to deliver the treasure that could conceal his own cultivation.
It was a jade wristband with the engravings of the name Long Zhen, with two fierce tiger engravings. According to Xiao Hong, this wristband was a Sage level wristband and it could conceal everything about him, including the proof of qualifications. As for how many existences could see through the owner of the wristband, it remained unknown.
But what made Su Yun surprise was that Huai Rou Mu Yu would be so extravagant to lend a Sage Level Treasure to him.
“Sage level?”
Su Yun stared at the wristband, his mind a blank.
He had thought about the scene of obtaining a Sage Level Treasure countless of times, but he had never thought that someone would directly lend it to him.
“Is this the difference between the Ultimate Martial World and the Sky Martial Continent?”
Su Yun muttered.
He equipped the wristband and donned the white and black hat, Su Yun then headed directly towards the main hall of the Nan Gong Residence where Huai Rou Mu Yu and the rest were waiting for him.
All of the servants and maids who passed by Su Yun in his exaggerated disguise were all shocked, if not for the fact that he had Nan Gong Qing’s order badge and disguise, no one would be able to recognize him, as the hat was drooped extremely low, to the point of covering half of his face.
Inside the main hall.
Nan Gong Gu was constantly talking to Huai Rou Mu Yu, who maintained a calm and composed expression, not showing any interest, but not being cold as well, the passive aggressiveness made Nan Gong Gu feel helpless.
“Is this Nan Gong Qing not coming yet?”
Nan Gong Hong Yan said unhappily.
“All of us are actually waiting for him here! Seriously!”
“It’s fine that he made us wait, but he actually made our noble guest Huai Rou Mu Yu wait for him, he truly is too much, he doesn’t even have the air of a noble!”
“That’s right!”
The other Nan Gong Family disciples talked amongst themselves.
All of them were always with Nan Gong Gu and knew of his thoughts, compared to Nan Gong Qing, they would rather lean towards Nan Gong Gu, so their words were always biased.
Hearing them speak, Nan Gong Gu secretly nodded, he glanced towards at Huai Rou Mu Yu, but seeing her indifference, he felt disappointed.
“My apologies, I’m late!”
Just then, a figure stepped into the main hall entrance and called out.
