Chapter 3- The Spirit From Hua Xia
Bang!
When Mu Ru Yue's head struck the tree, blood immediately flowed down her head, but her lips expressed a smile of relief.
'Finally, I don't need to stay here and listen to their heart-rending words....'
She gradually closed her eyes, with a glistening teardrop hanging in the corner of her eyes.
"Let's go!"
With an unfeeling glance, the middle-aged man looked at the young girl lying in a pool of blood. His cold expression made it seem as though it had just been a stranger in front of him.
Ye Tian Feng shuddered slightly, thinking that it was truly heartless for a father to make such a move. However, who had told Mu Ru Yue to be a trash?
In comparison to a gifted person like Ting Er, that girl had been destined to not even have the right of acting as her sister's stepping stone...
At this moment, the young girl, who had initially been lifeless, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up. In that instant, her icy gaze landed on the group of people who were already turning to leave.
She remembered being at Long White Mountain and being ambushed by the Gu family. In order to protect an ancient alchemist book, she had met her demise along with her enemies. After that, she felt as though she was carried away by the wind.
'Where is this?'
Suddenly, memories that didn't belong to her fiercely came rushing to her mind, making her feel a pain so great that it felt as though her head was being ripped apart. She held her head tightly in her hands, knitting her bloody eyebrows.
'Martial God Continent?'
'Wasn't I in Hua Xia? What kind of place is the Martial God Continent?'
However, from the memories, she knew that this place honoured martial skills. The training techniques here were the same as in Hua Xia, using the Dantian to store energy, and medicine for assistance. The grading system for the skills was also the same.
She had possessed a person who had the same surname and name as herself, but who was a trash with cramped muscles and blocked meridians, and had died after being unable to withstand a great shock.
In Hua Xia, Mu Ru Yue had also been a Martial Practitioner. For an Ancient Martial Practitioner, nothing was impossible, so after being shocked for a short moment, she quickly accepted reality.
She had reincarnated! That too in such a trash's body, no less.
"Elder sister, you...you're still alive?" Mu Ting Er's body shuddered, showing happiness on her delicate face. "That's great! I thought you..."
A cold gaze shot at the seemingly happy young girl. Mu Ru Yue replied, "Do you have any business with me? If not, move out of the way!"
"I..." Mu Ting Er pouted gently, and tears of grievance swum in her eyes. "I was only worried for elder sister. If I did something wrong, I hope that I didn't anger elder sister."
Her appearance looked so pitiful. She looked like a small pure white flower that attracted tender affection.
The middle-aged man's expression darkened. "Mu Ru Yue, is this the attitude you should have towards your sister? It was a waste for Ting Er to be worried for you. You aren't worthy of her feelings!"
"Sister?" Mu Ru Yue laughed grimly, "I don't remember mother giving birth to such a sister!"
Mu Ting Er's expression changed slightly. It was the most painful thing in her life to be only an adopted daughter of the Mu family, and not be a genuine young mistress. If it hadn't been for her father's incurable illness and if it hadn't been for his sacrifice to save the Mu family's old madam, in order to ensure a safe haven for his daughter, it would be impossible for her filial step-father to adopt the helpless Ting Er.
From that moment on, she swore that she would behave as if she were rightfully above people and that she would receive the same treatment as a genuine young mistress in the Mu family.
However, that wretched Mu Ru Yue had always used this fact to stab her every single time!
'Just what is so good about her? Other than having the bloodline of the Mu family, she's just a good-for-nothing young Miss!'
Chapter 4- Plans
"Impudent!" The middle-aged man tightly clenched his fists with the veins on his temples bulging. He was staring with a gaze one would show only to an absolutely irreconcilable enemy. "Ting Er is my daughter. How do you dare to humiliate her in such a fashion?"
It seemed that in his heart, only Mu Ting Er and Mu Yi Xue were his daughters. Meanwhile, Mu Ru Yue was but an illegitimate child who was verbally insulting his precious daughter.
"Father, let's leave it as it is," said Mu Ting Er as she held onto the middle-aged man's arm, biting her lips and shaking her head. "I am aware that I'm only an adopted daughter in the Mu family. I don't wish for anything other than father's love ever since I've lost my blood father when I was young."
The middle-aged man let out a great sigh. "Ting Er, when your father died after saving my mother, I swore then that I would treat you as my biological daughter. How could I let anyone hurt you?"
He had said these whilst glaring at Mu Ru Yue with a dark expression.
It was obvious that the person he was referring to was Mu Ru Yue...
"Father, the Crown Prince is still here," Mu Ting Er whispered with her head lowered.
Same as before, no one noticed her sneers.
The way she acted was definitely not in order to seek for forgiveness from Mu Ru Yue. It was due to His Highness liking girls who were compassionate. It was because of this that he had fallen in love with her.
"Hehe! Your Highness, I've earned your ridicule," the middle-aged man apologised, cupping his fist, then shifted his gaze back to Mu Ru Yue. With a frown, he said, coolly, "Why are you still standing there? Quickly scram! In the future, if you dare loiter around and interrupt His Highness and Ting Er's time together again, I'll break your legs!"
A cold glimmer flashed in Mu Ru Yue's eyes. But since she had just come to this continent, she decided to spend some time digesting information first, so she quietly headed back to her quarters in her memories, but only after tossing a bone-chilling gaze at her father, Mu Qing.
Mu Qing was startled. His daughter actually possessed that type of gaze? He didn't think much of it, turning to face Ye Tian Feng. "Your Highness, Ting Er is an unmarried girl, but has given her innocence to you. I don't know when His Highness will annul the engagement with that trash and marry Ting Er."
Ye Tian Feng's sword-like brows frowned before replying after a short moment, "Mu Family's Master. Ting Er will definitely be the Main Wife 1for me, the Crown Prince. I currently can't tell my royal Grandfather that I've already had close physical relationship with Ting Er. Otherwise, knowing my royal Grandfather, he would just give Ting Er a concubine's status for committing such an act before marriage. In that case, I would feel that I've wronged Ting Er for giving her merely the status of a concubine."
His Ting Er was so beautiful and outstanding. Only she could be worthy to have his Main Wife's status.
"In that case, what are Your Highness' plans?"
"In a couple of months, there'll be a great Martial Tournament in the Royal City. Ting Er is currently a Third Martial Stage Practitioner. There won't be a lot of young competitors who can defeat her. If she turns out victorious, Royal Grandfather will have a whole new level of respect for her. At that moment, I'll introduce her to my martial master. My Royal Grandfather can't neglect my master's words, as he is an alchemist."
Alchemist...
Mu Qing's breath tightened, with his eyes lit up.
Since rare things were precious, due to their scarcity, alchemist held high status throughout the continent. If someone were to befriend an alchemist, they wouldn't need to dwell on how to obtain medicinal pills in the future.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Ting Er will definitely be victorious during that great Martial Tournament. Hehe! As you've mentioned, the number of talents who could outperform Ting Er in this Royal City is really negligible."
Mu Qing smiled. He held great confidence in the precious daughter he had raised for nearly 10 years.
