“Speaking of which, I also saw someone familiar at the bar, but I can’t recall who the person was…” Mu Bai stopped the meaningless argument as he recalled the person he saw when he was leaving the bar the other day.
“I bet it was Qi Shan; you weren’t familiar with him yet,” Mo Fan guessed.
Mu Bai shook his head and said, “I did see Qi Shan, and it’s true that I didn’t recognize him, but I think I saw the girl with short curly hair sitting beside him before.”
“See, what did I say about you being fake? How dare you hook up with someone else secretly without us knowing!?” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
“Can you please shut up for once!?” Mu Bai’s thoughts were disturbed by the idiot’s interruption once again. He could not help but think the guy was a mute in his previous life, seeing how he just kept talking. Mu Bai had never seen anyone more shameless than him from the national team!
“Old Zhao, let him speak,” Mo Fan said when he saw the serious look on Mu Bai.
Mu Bai collected his thoughts and said, “I wasn’t too sure, since I hadn’t seen Qi Shan yet, but after you told me he was there too, I believe I did indeed see him there, but the person I felt familiar was the girl with short curly hair. I’ve met her before, and I believe it was at the capital…”
“She’s from the capital?” Mo Fan was confused.
“I rarely saw any women over the years, so she must have talked to me before… I remember now!” Mu Bai suddenly realized something.
Mui Qing opened her eyes too. She had a feeling that they were talking about something important. Meanwhile, she vaguely felt something wriggling under her feet. Something cold was slowly moving up her legs…
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were waiting for Mu Bai to continue the story when they heard clear footsteps coming from a tunnel. It sounded like heels walking at a steady pace.
“Brother Mu Bai, how forgetful are you? You’ve already forgotten your sister, even though it wasn’t that long ago. I thought I was already irreplaceable in your heart…” A soft, alluring voice came from the tunnel, followed by a pair of fifteen-centimeter-high, shiny silver heels, connected to a pair of slender legs.
The legs were long and pretty, with tight-skinned black pants reaching the top of her thighs, completely framing her perfect legs.
She was approaching them like she was on a catwalk with a lady cigarette between her fingers. She casually spat out a puff of smoke. Her seductive looks, set off by the smoke, were more than enough to stir the primitive desires of a man!
“Mu Xumian!” Mu Bai blurted out in shock.
“Phew, our backup finally arrives. That’s strange, how did you guys come in here before we were done with setting up the magic formation? Well, we’ll leave the rest to you guys. Time to call it a day!” Zhao Manyan smiled when he saw the group of people led by the gorgeous woman.
“Idiot, she’s from the capital’s Mu Clan, not the Mui Clan!” Mu Bai scolded him.
Zhao Manyan had almost had the urge to give the woman a hug. His expression became complicated after hearing Mu Bai’s curse.
What was going on here!?
The capital’s Mu Clan?
Why would the people of the Mu Clan show up here?
“Such an adorable young man, I wouldn’t mind letting you warm my bed tonight if you are willing to cooperate with us,” Mu Xumian giggled. She was intrigued by Zhao Manyan’s handsome looks.
“Let’s talk. Let Mui Qing go first,” Mo Fan looked at Mui Qing when he sensed something did not feel right.
Mui Qing was currently standing on a lump of shadow, impaled by lots of Giant Shadow Spikes that had sealed off her movement and mind. Mo Fan could sense the presence of an assassin with the Shadow Element close to her. He could end Mui Qing’s life with a single thought!
“What’s going on here?” Zhao Manyan was utterly dumbfounded.
Where did these people come from? What did they want?
“Qi Shan, I quite admired you at first. Even though what happened was unfair to you, you still chose to come here to prove yourself. I didn’t expect you to be such a vile and disgusting person!” Mo Fan already knew what happened. He stared at the man that was hiding in the shadows behind Mu Xumian.
Qi Shan was surprised that his cover was blown so quickly. He came out of the shadows and replied disdainfully, “Do you really think I will still work for Mui Clan after what happened? Those scum were just treating me like a dog they could just throw away after reaping all the benefits. They are going to pay for what they did to me!”
“So you decided to take your revenge on the Mui Clan before you set foot in the hall during the meeting?” Mo Fan guessed.
“Yes! That b**ch thought she could abuse her beauty and manipulate me, so I would haplessly give my life for her. She would then toss me aside once I lost my value. Didn’t she want to lead her clan to a new level? I’m going to lead her clan to destruction instead!” Qi Shan laughed hysterically.
He finally had the chance to vent all his grudges against the Mui Clan. He could not wait to see the enraged, regretful reaction from Mui Nuxin!
“What did I say? What good is a woman like Mui Nuxin? She only knows how to disguise herself as a sacred lotus, but the truth is, she is more manipulative than anyone else. There is no such thing as feelings in her eyes. She can only see profits and know how to set people up. Everyone is nothing but a chess piece to her; pieces that are useful, and pieces that aren’t. As for me, even though my reputation isn’t as impressive, I’ve always treated people sincerely. I’m willing to give money and fame to those that are willing to do things for me. I can also offer my body too!” Mu Xumian burst out laughing, too. Her laughter was as seductive as her voice.
“What do you want?” Mu Bai asked.
“We’ll be taking over everything here. As for you guys… I’m still thinking about what I should do with you. Should I let you go like some defeated dogs, or should I execute you right on the spot? Either way, the outside world will have no idea what happened here. Oh, I forgot to mention, I’ve confiscated Mui Zhuocheng’s Scroll of Space too, so there’s no chance for you to escape this place, and don’t even bother resisting. I hate wasting my time with people that resist. I like to tear off a limb or two when I’m mad, and I might accidentally kill someone too,” Mui Zhuocheng said softly. The others might think she was flirting with someone if they could not hear her words clearly, but they were the kind that would send chills down a person’s spine!
