Zhu Wushi gazed at Su Xin with deep sorrow. After a long while, he turned to Murong Fu and said, "Young Master Murong, I want to see Su Xin wake up."
Before Murong Fu could answer, he continued, "Don't worry, I will not meet him in my true form."
After saying that, he put on the human skin mask and instantly became the appearance of Eunuch Liu.
Emperor Ming glared at the old man, who dared to disguise himself as Eunuch Liu right in front of him.
The thought of living under Zhu Wushi's nose these past few days filled Emperor Ming with lingering fear.
Murong Fu patted Emperor Ming on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother-in-law, from now on, Eunuch Liu will assist you in governing the country. You have no objections, do you?"
"No...no objection." Emperor Ming gave a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Liu Daban has served me since I was a child. I'm not used to not having him by my side."
Murong Fu looked at Su Xin.
With a single slap, the lid of the ice coffin was opened, and Su Xin's burning body temperature could be felt.
Yunluo exclaimed in surprise, "It's amazing! The living dead weren't frozen solid in the ice coffin."
Murong Fu said calmly, "This is nothing. Have you heard the legends of the Four Divine Beasts? The blood of these divine beasts can even grant immortality."
“I’ve heard of them: dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and black tortoises. But aren’t they just legends? How could there be immortal beings in the world?” Yun Luo nodded, speaking matter-of-factly.
Zhu Wushi continued, "This is not just a legend. The Four Divine Beasts really exist, or rather, the Qilin truly exists, but no one has ever actually seen the other three. However, Qilin blood only drives people mad and prevents them from achieving immortality."
Yunluo's eyes lit up: "Royal Uncle... oops, Eunuch Liu, really? There's actually a Qilin?"
Zhao Min chimed in, "You call yourself a princess of the Ming Dynasty, yet you don't even know what a fire unicorn is."
"What do you mean? Even you know?" Yunluo glared at Zhao Min.
"The fire is burning on the top of the southern mountain, and the North Sea is deep in the snow and drinking cold water." Zhao Min said.
"What do you mean? What poem are you reciting?" Yunluo scratched her head.
"It's terrible to be uncultured!" Zhao Min mocked. "This poem is a legend widely circulated in Zhongzhou, recording the whereabouts of the Qilin and the origin of the Snow Drinking Saber."
"Zhongzhou!" Yunluo immediately said to Murong Fu, "Husband, shall we go to Zhongzhou to see the Fire Qilin?"
Zhongzhou is located at the very center of the Nine Provinces Continent. Together with the other eight provinces, it is the most prosperous place for martial arts. There is no dynasty in Zhongzhou, only a nominal supreme martial arts authority.
"Alright, after I've finished dealing with these trivial matters, I'll head to Zhongzhou."
Murong Fu nodded. He had long yearned for Zhongzhou, but the strength of a Grandmaster was simply not enough in Zhongzhou. Most of the major powers in Zhongzhou had a Grandmaster in charge.
There are even a few cunning old foxes.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Before that, we should get down to business."
Zhu Wushi had assumed that Murong Fu would produce a third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
But then Murong Fu channeled a burst of true energy into Su Xin, and Su Xin opened her eyes.
"You're awake already?"
Zhu Wushi was stunned.
So why has he been searching for Tianxiang Doukou all these years?
That's not right. I've poured a lot of true energy into Su Xin, so why is it not working?
Murong Fu did not explain to him, but instead lowered his head to look at Su Xin.
Su Xin shrank back, feeling cold, but her gaze never left Murong Fu. She asked softly, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important." Murong Fu shook his head and said seriously, "Madam, if you don't want anything to happen to your son, then you'd better listen to me."
"Yes! My son! How is my son? I remember I entrusted him to a village woman to take care of."
Su Xin immediately tensed up, covering her forehead as she recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness.
Murong Fu said, "Come with me, I can take you to him."
"good!"
Su Xin nodded without hesitation.
Zhu Wushi was completely stunned. Murong Fu had managed to make Su Xin obey so easily.
What did I do back then when I pursued Su Xin? Was I a simp?
Murong Fu suddenly took Su Xin out of the ice coffin.
Ah~
Su Xin exclaimed in surprise and immediately hugged Murong Fu's neck, her hot breath hitting his neck.
Zhu Wushi's eyes widened. Su Xin was just hugging a strange man like that? How dare she... Zhu Wushi inexplicably felt like he was being cuckolded.
Su Xin then noticed that there were many people around her.
Her pretty face flushed red instantly, and she buried her head in Murong Fu's chest, hearing his strong and powerful heartbeat.
This was an experience she had never had before.
Because of shyness, Su Xin whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Murong Fu put her down.
But as soon as her feet touched the ground, her body went limp.
"ah!"
Another gasp escaped her lips as Su Xin collapsed into Murong Fu's arms.
Murong Fu shook his head, amused, and picked him up again.
"You have been sleeping in the ice coffin for twenty years, and your body is weak, so you are temporarily unable to get out of bed and walk."
"I've been in a coma for twenty years?"
Su Xin was startled.
A scene suddenly flashed into his mind: he was accidentally injured and fell into a coma while trying to stop Gu Santong from dueling with Zhu Wushi. He never expected that he would fall into a coma for twenty years.
Su Xin asked, "Did you save me?"
"good."
Murong Fu continued to look at her and nodded.
"Thanks."
Su Xin lowered her head shyly and whispered her thanks.
Zhu Wushi felt like he was about to vomit blood. He had taken care of Su Xin for twenty years, only to be met with her thanking Murong Fu instead.
now.
He even wanted to kill the two despicable people with a single blow.
suddenly.
Zhu Wushi was stunned. How could he have such a thought?
Shouldn't loving someone mean wanting them to be happy?
Why would I have the heart to hurt Su Xin?
Could it be... that I really don't love Su Xin?
