Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng combined their strengths, naturally making them even more handsome. Mu Hanfeng wasn't just handsome; he was also calm, composed, resolute, and intelligent, possessing an indescribable charm. Mu Hanyan, having grown up dressed as a boy, naturally looked stunning, too. The only difference between her and Mu Hanfeng was a crimson mole between her eyebrows, which further accentuated her unparalleled beauty.
To outsiders, the two men looked similar, but their inner selves were worlds apart. Mu Hanfeng was a graceful and powerful man, already a level five swordsman, a leader of his generation and very popular with women. Mu Hanyan, on the other hand, was considered a complete loser in the eyes of the world. He was a playboy, a good-for-nothing, impulsive, and easily angered fool, living under the protection of his family. In the eyes of the world, Mu Hanfeng looked down on his playboy and good-for-nothing brother. Frequent sarcasm and ridicule were the least of his problems, and he would even directly embarrass Mu Hanyan. This often infuriated Yue Fanling, who cursed him for his lack of brotherly love.
Mu Hanfeng turned his head to look in the direction of Mu Hanyan's house door, and could faintly hear Mu Hanyan sobbing. Mu Hanfeng had a calm face and quickly left Mu Hanyan's yard.
…
Mu Hanyan had calmed down by now. She wiped her tears. It had been a long time since she cried like a child like this, so she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mother, I..."
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat your favorite lotus leaf roast chicken? I'll ask someone to buy it right away." Yue Fanling touched Mu Hanyan's head lovingly and asked softly.
Mu Hanyan shook her head gently. "Just some porridge will be fine. I don't feel like eating roast chicken right now." She looked at her mother's familiar face, but she couldn't get enough of it. She had always known her mother doted on her, but her father had always been indifferent, allowing her mother to do whatever she wanted. Only later did Mu Hanyan realize that her previous life's initial indulgence and inaction were the result of her father and mother's indulgence, even their deliberate guidance.
At first, Mu Hanyan didn't understand why her parents acted this way, and even felt a bit resentful of their actions. But then she understood the depth of her parents' love. Their sole purpose was to protect her. Who would pay much attention to an incompetent person? Who would feel threatened? But the subsequent developments were beyond her parents' ability to handle. That force was so mysterious and powerful that even after she gained immense power, she still had no idea of its true strength.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fanling hurried out to order someone to make porridge. Mu Hanyan examined her body at this moment, and the more she examined herself, the more her heart sank. It was gone, all gone! The powerful strength and cultivation she once possessed were gone! She was still the same strength she had at this time in her previous life, a weak first-rank swordsman!
She tried to mobilize her internal energy, and her face turned even uglier. The faint energy within her was telling her, "Oh, stop struggling! You're just a weakling now, someone who can beat you up." The combat experience and cultivation experience from her previous life were still there, but she had no energy left, and she couldn't exert any strength. The saying "a good cook cannot cook without rice" is exactly like this: the will is there, but the strength is not. It's so frustrating!
