Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
Chapter 55: Hidden Growth In Feelings Part 6

“Let’s go!”

Mu Qing turned around and headed towards the entrance of the manor. As a result, he hadn’t noticed the vicious light that flashed past the young girl’s eyes.

That slut Mu Ru Yue had made elder sister Ting Er fall into such a terrible state. What right did she have to return to the Mu family? She definitely wouldn’t allow that malevolent hearted slut to reenter the family.

Moreover….

Mu Yi Xue just needed to recall that handsome young, innocent man, and the hatred in her heart towards Mu Ru Yue intensified.

✶

At the Mu Residence, Mu Ru Yue held her head in her hands as she sat lazily in the Imperial Consort’s chair. The sun in the sky made her unable to open her eyes, so she could only squint when she looked at the blue sky.

“My wife! My wife!”

Suddenly, an innocent voice was heard at the front of her house.

When she shifted her gaze in the direction of the voice, she instantly saw Ye Wu Chen elatedly running towards her. His handsome face had a pure and unaffected smile, his clear eyes filled with happiness.

“My wife, take a look at what I’ve brought you today!”

Wu Chen opened his hand, and a necklace made of green jade pearls appeared in his palm. He handed over the necklace to Mu Ru Yue. “My wife, I thought these pearls looked really nice, so I strung them up into a necklace to give to you. Do you like it?”

Mu Ru Yue was touched by Ye Wu Chen’s thoughts and took the necklace, abruptly shifting her gaze down to look at those jade-green pearls.

These pearls were different from other pearls. These sparkling and translucent green jade pearls emitted an aura of vitality.

“Gem Tree Fruit? Are these Gem Tree Fruits?”

Their outer appearances were the same as pearls, but they were really fruits from the Gem Tree.

Mu Ru Yue took a Gem Tree Fruit from the necklace before asking excitedly, “Wu Chen, where did you find this Gem Tree Fruit?”

Ye Wu Chen blinked his large eyes as he looked curiously at Mu Ru Yue, asking, “What’s a Gem Tree Fruit?”

“A Gem Tree Fruit is a fruit that contains a lot of energy in it. It’s different from medicinal plants. Usually, martial practitioners won’t casually consume pills to help them break through, as it will always have slight side effects that could affect their future cultivation. But the Gem Tree Fruit is different. Once you consume it, the martial practitioner can directly break through to the next stage.”

If this wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t have been this stirred up.

After speaking all that, Mu Ru Yue couldn’t help chuckling and shaking her head. No matter how much she explained, Ye Wu Chen would probably be unable to understand her.

As expected, Ye Wu Chen blinked his eyes in confusion after hearing her words before saying, “I don’t know anything about Gem Tree Fruits. I found these pearls before and planned to give them to my future wife. Since you’re my wife, this necklace is yours.”

In the dark, the black clothed man following Ye Wu Chen nearly fell to the ground after hearing his words.

‘My master, you had bitterly searched for the Gem Tree Fruits to give to your future mistress, but you used such an indirect reasoning. What did you mean it was to give to your future wife? It seems that before knowing the mistress before you, you never had the thought of marriage.’

‘Moreover, mistress doesn’t seem to accept master. When has it become natural for master to call her his wife? In any case, Ghost King Manor will perhaps be more lively….’

At this moment, a figure could be seen running in from the entrance of the house. When Li Lu saw Mu Ru Yue, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief before saying with grief, “Mistress, didn’t you want me to serve you loyally? You disappeared after the competition and made me search for you for such a long time. If If it wasn’t for the fact that someone had found your whereabouts, I wouldn’t have been able to find you so quickly.”
