"If you have any objections, go talk to that woman!" Mu Huan stuck out his tongue at Yin Yi. In Yin Yi's eyes, this woman really deserved a beating.
"......!" Yin Yi was timid. That woman was too strong and powerful, and there was no way he could defeat her. Yin Yi had suffered his first major setback in life. He held his head in distress, which looked a bit cute.
Isn't that just stupid? Mu Huan felt that this half-demon was constantly challenging her limits. Where was the promised domineering soul-eating power? Where was the promised ferocious half-demon?
"It's settled, we'll act at dusk!" No matter what Yin Yi thought, Mu Huan was so strong. She wouldn't admit that she was just being petty and seeking revenge!
She covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then turned around and walked seriously towards the room on the second floor. She had to think carefully about what to do! She left Yin Yi alone in a daze downstairs.
The other side
"Brother Mu, what should we do now!" Looking at the large group of black and locked puppets under his feet, Tan Tai Luo felt the coldness under his feet for the first time in his life.
"Wait!" Mu Qing closed his eyes. Although his hands and feet were tied up with iron chains, he did not lose his composure at all.
Looking around, it was pitch black, punctuated by the occasional glimpse of sunlight. Mottled shadows cast by the trees, accompanied by the dripping sound of melting ice and snow. Beneath my feet lay a vast army of imprisoned puppets. This was the essence of what fear was all about.
"Who would have thought that Yunxue City, which looks so pure and flawless, would be so dirty underneath!" Qi Chu said lightly, his face extremely pale.
"Qi Chu, are you okay?" Mu Chen's worried voice rang out. Qi Chu had been born prematurely, so his physical condition was relatively weak since childhood. He was also extremely sensitive to the cold. After being locked up for almost the entire night, his body was definitely about to collapse.
"I told you to take care of yourself a long time ago, but you refused to listen." Mu Chen scolded with a smile, but he was not really scolding, he just wanted to cheer Qi Chu up.
"Heh!" A faint laugh came out of Qi Chu's mouth.
"Fortunately, Huanhuan was not caught! She was so timid, she would have cried." Tan Tailuo smiled. Fortunately, their team was not completely wiped out!
"Someone come! Take them to the altar." The one who came was Gu Sheng. Looking at his smug look, Tan Tai Luo wished he could tear his face off.
"Yes!" The followers brought by Gu Sheng immediately stepped forward to unlock the iron chains that bound Mu Qing and the others and took them away.
"take away!"
At this time, the altar was surrounded by a large group of puppets, and in the center of the altar was a water qilin. However, it was a water qilin that had been almost drained of blood.
A man in a thick white robe was slowly wiping the blood from the water qilin with a handkerchief. From a distance, it looked harmonious, but in reality, it was just a greedy man doing something perverted.
"You said if you behaved a little, I might spare your life!" The Lord of Yunxue City was Yun Yan, a name that sounded righteous. But his actions were worse than those of an animal. Yun Yan raised his head, revealing a very old man, his face wrinkled like dead bark, layer upon layer, a terrifying sight.
The water qilin resisted with a "woohoo" sound, as if it was unwilling, as if it was crying, but also as if it was compromising and desperate.
Yun Yan repeatedly wiped his hands with a handkerchief stained with the water qilin's blood. Strangely enough, Yun Yan's face was wrinkled, making him look like an elderly man. Yet, his hands were as delicate as those of a young man of seventeen or eighteen.
"Soon, you will be reunited with the Fire Kirin! Aren't you happy?" Yun Yan's tone was full of enjoyment and satisfaction. He looked at the puppet in front of him and laughed.
"I will be able to see her soon." Yun Yan's face was sweet, and he seemed to remember something, "But why was she so cruel to leave me alone in Yunxue City for twenty years!" There was ruthlessness and paranoia in his eyes, and an obsession that could not be dispelled.
The water qilin lying on the side was still twitching "wooooo", and the blood was constantly lost. Even though it was a divine beast, it could hardly hold on.
The other side
Mu Huan pulled Yin Yi and fiddled with it for a while. After he was fully prepared, he hurried towards the altar.
"Ah!" Mu Huan bumped into someone without even looking ahead. She was about to apologize, but then she suddenly realized that she was walking down a deserted path. How could there be someone there?
"Girl, are you okay?"
When Mu Huan looked up, he saw an old woman in plain clothes. Although she had been weathered by years of hardships, her temperament that emanated from her inside out could not be hindered. She must be from a wealthy family.
"I'm fine, I'm just worried!" He was ready to pull Yin Yi away. If he didn't go now, he would probably have to help collect their bodies.
"Miss, are you going to the altar?" This sentence made Mu Huan stop his hurried steps.
"How do you know?" His tone was full of caution.
"If you go there rashly, not only will you fail to save your friend, but you will also lose your own life." The old woman slowly persuaded Mu Huan with an affirmative tone.
Mu Huan couldn't understand for a moment why an old woman knew so much, but her intuition told her that this person could help her!
"Who are you?"
"Yunshi!" Yunshi was quite straightforward.
"Luoluo's mother, the sister of the City Lord of Yunxue City?!" It was Mu Huan's turn to be shocked. How could she appear here?
"Luoluo also told you about me, which proves that you are her good friend!" Yunshi choked a little. She was sorry for Luoluo because her selfishness made her suffer so much.
"What on earth do you want to do here?" Mu Huan had no good feelings towards Yun Shi. After all, she had never seen a mother who would treat her own daughter like that, and she didn't want to have any involvement with her.
"I came here to settle some things, but my body can't support me anymore to go see him." Coming to Yunxue City this time was already her limit. But she couldn't not come. If she didn't come, that person might do something even more cruel.
"You are here to see the Lord of Yunxue City!" Looking at Yunshi, Mu Huan always felt that there was something going on between her and the Lord of Yunxue City, but they were close siblings!
"I hope you can bring Fire Kirin and help me. I treated Luoluo like that back then because I had my reasons." Yunshi actually didn't expect that her dearest brother would have feelings for her other than family affection, and even endanger her with Luoluo's life.
"Oh my god!" After hearing Yunshi's explanation, Mu Huan felt a little disgusted. That was his biological brother, how could he have such thoughts about his biological sister? That would be fine, but he actually used such a little Luoluo to threaten Yunshi.
“It’s absolutely insane!”
"I know he has an obsession. He has never let it go for twenty years. This time he used the water qilin just to lure me out." When Yun Yan proposed to take Luo Luo's natal beast, she knew this day would come.
"It's just that I saved Luoluo's life back then, and now this body is exhausted." Having one's natal divine beast forcibly taken away would have resulted in premature death, but she had checked ancient books and knew that as long as the blood of a loved one was passed on to her, she could be revived! She had no choice; it was her child after all!
