"Wait a minute, I, I..." Mu Run opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Fu Lu pulled a marriage certificate from his pocket, which had Mu Run's handprint on it. "If you can't read Rongchao's language, I can translate it into Zhen Continent's language for you."
"This... isn't this the contract I signed when I bought the information from you?"
"This is the marriage certificate."
"You lied to me!"
"It was consensual."
Leng Zhi approached and looked at the marriage certificate. It bore the altered name of Mu Run and her red handprint. Regardless of the name, the conspicuous handprint was the key. "It seems you and he are truly husband and wife. There are the formalities of marriage, the rituals of heaven and earth, especially this marriage certificate."
"No, he and I are not husband and wife. I have a husband." Mu Run looked at Fu Lu and said seriously, "And my husband is very fierce."
"That's right, you know very well what kind of person you married." Fu Lu took her hand and pulled her into his arms, then said to Leng Zhi, "My wife, I'll take her with me now."
"Who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense." Mu Run resisted, but he was very strong, and she couldn't break free for a moment.
"Be good, listen to me!" Fu Lu suddenly lowered his voice to Mu Run, his gentle tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.
That familiar tone... Mu Run froze instantly, as if she had lost her mind.
Seeing that she was really obedient and stopped struggling, Fu Lu loosened his grip slightly.
Leng Zhi watched Fu Lu leave with Mu Run, his brows furrowing tightly.
Fang He asked in a low voice, "My lord, are we still going to the Zhen Continent?"
Leng Zhi remained silent for a while before nodding, "Go."
"Mistress Mu?"
"This is her choice."
If Mu Run had asked him for help, he would have stopped her even if it meant fighting Fu Lu to the death. But Mu Run didn't. In the end, she didn't even need Fu Lu to force her; she obediently followed him.
"Is he being controlled?" Fang He couldn't tell that Mu Run's condition was normal.
Leng Zhi shook his head. "No."
...
Mu Run stared intently at Fu Lu's face until her neck stiffened.
Fu Lu initially found it a bit strange, but after being stared at for a while, he just let her be. Because this made her very compliant, which made it easier for them to travel.
Only after boarding the ship did Mu Run ask, "Who...who are you?"
Fu Lu replied, "Your husband."
Mu Run looked at him and said, "If you were my husband, would you dare to eat this?" She took out the memory pearl that Fu Yunchen had left for her from her soul space.
The vividly colored and boldly painted spirit pearl made her heart leap into her throat.
This is a gamble!
She was gambling on her luck and fate; if he wasn't Fu Yunchen's reincarnated soul, she would kill him.
"Do you dare?" Mu Run handed the spirit pearl to Fu Lu.
This is a spirit pearl, containing spiritual power that startled Fu Lu. "Whose is this?"
Mu Run solemnly replied, "If you are my husband, then it is yours. If you are not... I'm sorry, even if we have a hundred wedding ceremonies and a thousand marriage certificates, I am still not your wife."
"Okay." Fu Lu took the spirit pearl, opened his mouth and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.
Mu Run tensed up completely. "You... do you feel anything?"
Fu Lu clicked his tongue, as if savoring something, "The spiritual energy is extremely pure and abundant, and there's no resistance to absorbing it. Whose spiritual energy is this?"
Seeing that he had no other reaction, Mu Run's heart, which had been in her throat, slowly sank...
"Are there any extra memories of other people in your head?"
Fu Lu shook his head. "No."
Mu Run felt like dying.
She desperately wanted to find him; even just a single word from him was enough to make her hand over the Spirit Pearl…
She slowly closed her eyes, her face turned ashen, and her brow furrowed, revealing the unspeakable pain, torment, guilt, and self-blame she was enduring.
"Then... give the Spirit Pearl back to me."
"I can't repay it, it has already dissolved inside my body," Fu Lu replied.
"What do you mean?!" Mu Run exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.
