Qin Mu seemed to have a very long dream.
In the dream, he arrived at a place on the Heavenly Profound Continent, with two beautiful, heavenly fairy-like elder sisters, his beloved Aunt Lu, the newly acquainted Aunt Lu and Elder Sister Xue, and a Zixi Senior Sister.
He didn’t know how long had passed.
Qin Mu struggled to open his eyes, and the familiar scene entered his sight.
He recognized it—this was Aunt Lu’s room.
In other words, he was now in the Seven Star Sect.
Not bad… He survived again.
His life was tough enough.
Last time, it was Zixi who saved him.
“Cough, cough!”
Qin Mu had just wanted to speak, but couldn’t help coughing.
“Mu’er!”
A gentle and beautiful voice sounded.
Qin Mu looked ahead—a delicate figure in pink rushed over.
“Miss Mengyu…”
Qin Mu called out weakly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyu’s beautiful eyes grew misty.
She hurriedly grabbed her brother’s cold hand, her voice choked.
“Sister is here. Sister is right here, Mu’er…”
That night, Qin Mengyu was handling official affairs with Elder Sister Ruoshuang when the Emperor’s personal Eunuch suddenly arrived.
He whispered, “Young Master Qin is in trouble.”
Like a bolt from the blue, Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Mengyu froze in place.
When they saw Mu’er on the verge of death, Qin Ruoshuang instantly erupted, storming out with her sword in a rage.
Qin Mengyu quickly checked his pulse, confirmed a medicinal force protecting his heart, and let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, with such a thing happening to Qin Mu, there was no way Lu Qian wouldn’t know.
That night, Lu Qian arrived at the imperial palace.
From the lingering aura at the scene, one belonged to the person who had stolen Mu’er’s Storage Pouch not long ago, and the other was—Jing Kun.
Almost at the same time, the Great Yu Dynasty and the Seven Star Sect jointly issued a wanted order: Capture Jing Kun, dead or alive.
Not long after, the famous assassination force, Star Plucking Tower, of the Heavenly Profound Continent, also sent its experts to apprehend Jing Kun.
Three great forces issuing a joint bounty—many couldn’t understand just how great Jing Kun’s abilities were to provoke such giants.
Relying on the True Qi residue in Mu’er’s body, Lu Qian deduced that the Martial Arts Manual was very similar to the Bloodhand Venerable, making it impossible to separate him from the Bloodhand Venerable.
Thus, Lu Qian and Wang Yan’er killed the Bloodhand Venerable on the spot.
No one dared say a word about this.
After all, in Lu Qian’s berserk state, no one dared provoke her.
Shangguan Ling, who assisted Jing Kun in sneaking into the imperial palace, was also locked in a tower by Shangguan Su.
No one was allowed to release her.
Otherwise, the consequences would be fatal.
If not for the relationship with Shangguan Xue, the Prime Minister’s Residence would have had a new owner under Lu Qian’s wrath.
By now, even the unruly Miss Shangguan Ling realized the magnitude of her mistake.
To be wanted by the Seven Star Sect, the imperial court, and the Star Plucking Tower together was absolutely not as simple as Jing Kun claimed.
Let alone traveling the world together—after that night, she never contacted him again, as if he had vanished from the world.
With what happened to Qin Mu, Lu Qian dared not let her Mu’er remain in the Great Yu Dynasty, so she took him away overnight and placed him in her own Private Chamber.
Here, it was incomparably safe.
Still uneasy, Lu Qian personally set up several Transmission Arrays and left a Soul Mark in Mu’er’s body.
If such an incident happened again, she could attach her soul to Mu’er’s body and immediately lock onto his Space Positioning.
Lu Qian sat on the front lines, vowing to personally capture Jing Kun.
Qin Ruoshuang led the team herself, sword in hand and cold as ice.
Wang Yan’er acted in the shadows.
Qin Mengyu was responsible for tending her severely injured brother.
As the Holy Maiden of the Dan Sect, her Pill Arts were at their peak.
The news of Mu’er waking up was spread by Qin Mengyu, allowing Lu Qian and the others to breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days later.
After these days of Miss Mengyu’s careful care, Qin Mu’s injuries had greatly improved.
Lying in bed was too suffocating, so Qin Mu got up, walked outside, and, feeling the dazzling sunlight, was suddenly overwhelmed with nostalgia.
Qin Mengyu followed beside him.
These past days, she had stayed by his side without leaving even a step, insisting on being present for everything.
Naturally, that included sleeping together.
“By the way, Miss Mengyu, was that Jing Kun caught?”
Qin Mu suddenly asked.
From what Miss Mengyu said, of the two people that night, one was the Jing Kun whom Aunt Yan’er had also encountered.
Thus, Qin Mu was puzzled—he hadn’t provoked him, had he?
When Qin Mengyu heard the name “Jing Kun,” a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.
Gently, she said,
“Why mention him, Mu’er? Come, let’s go back inside. You might catch a cold.”
Qin Mu had just come out for a bit—how could he go straight back to bed?
If he went back, he could only sleep or eat with Miss Mengyu lying next to him.
How boring.
Shaking his head, Qin Mu protested weakly,
“Miss Mengyu~ Just a little longer, please. It’s too stuffy inside.”
At that moment, a female disciple approached.
Respectfully, she said,
“Holy Maiden, Liu Zixi, daughter of the Dao Sect Leader, wishes to see the Holy Maiden’s brother.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyu’s brows furrowed slightly.
She had always been repelled by women wanting to approach Mu’er.
On the other side, a figure in a white dress stood gracefully.
Seeing the young man appear, she smiled with joy.
“Junior Brother!”
Liu Zixi had just begun to speak when a cold gaze fell upon her.
Seeing the breathtaking woman beside Junior Brother Qin, Liu Zixi knew this was his sister and also the Holy Maiden of the Dan Sect.
Liu Zixi bowed formally to Qin Mengyu.
“Greetings, Holy Maiden.”
Qin Mengyu nodded and said no more.
If not for this girl having saved Mu’er, she wouldn’t have allowed Mu’er to come out to meet her.
Looking at Liu Zixi before him, Qin Mu noticed that compared to before, she had not only broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but her appearance had changed as well.
Her figure was more curvaceous, her aura had matured from girlish innocence to a more alluring charm.
This transformation fit Qin Mu’s tastes perfectly.
After all, Young Master Qin loved big sisters the most!
Especially the mischievous ones.
He couldn’t control himself.
Lost in thought for a moment, Qin Mu quickly collected himself—Miss Mengyu was right beside him, after all!
“Zixi Senior Sister, long time no see!”
Little did he know, that brief daze didn’t escape the eyes of the two women present.
Qin Mengyu felt anger rise within her.
This Mu’er is such a flirt…
Liu Zixi was a bit shy, but quickly regained her composure.
“Junior Brother, have your injuries healed?”
Although outsiders didn’t know why such a commotion occurred, as the daughter of the Dan Sect Leader, Liu Zixi knew a bit of the inside story.
