Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Shui Clan

"What about me?"

"You’re shameless!"

"Father here has plenty of teeth!" You cracked a smile, showing off a row of jagged teeth.

"Filthy, lewd, petty, plus ****!"

"Thanks for the compliment, but sorry, brother here didn’t bring any sweets, I’ll give it to you next time."

"I’ll bite you to death!" Ling Yifeng could never outtalk you, in a fit of rage he opened his mouth and pounced at you.

However, at this moment, Hua Jieyu somehow produced a wild fruit and stuffed it into Ling Yifeng’s mouth, reprimanding, "Alright, stop it now!"

"I’m not the one causing trouble, it’s this guy who’s deliberately provoking!"

"Mu Yun, can you please stop being angry with him?" With Hua Jieyu acting coquettishly, what more could you say?

"Fine, I am magnanimous, and won’t stoop to the level of a little child."

"Hmph!" Just as Ling Yifeng was about to explode in anger, he saw a look from Hua Jieyu and helplessly turned away, choosing to ignore you. It was at this moment that Little Fire Wolf, who had been sticking close to Hua Jieyu, leisurely walked up beside her, affectionately rubbing its little head against Hua Jieyu’s thigh.

"The little guy seems to have just fought with some animal." Hua Jieyu held Little Fire Wolf in her arms, speaking with concern.

"It’s fine, probably just some feeble wild beast."

"Hmph!" Seeing you and Hua Jieyu return to your usual intimacy, Ling Yifeng let out a cold huff as a sign of his displeasure.

Your trio’s actions left everyone around dumbstruck for a moment, when someone from the crowd suddenly shouted: "Alright, since the dangerous person has left, let’s all go back and continue to rest. Who knows, there might be a big battle tomorrow."

Hearing this, people started dispersing and returned to their camps.

"Hey, Mu Yun, are you really going back?" Huang Quan saw you walking towards the camp site with Hua Jieyu and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yeah, I have a very important thing to do."

"What’s that?"

"It’s something you kids wouldn’t understand." You said with a mysterious smile, then slipped into the woods with your arm around Hua Jieyu. Huang Quan clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction but still followed you.

Back at the tent, you spent ten taels of gold to have five Mercenary Mages cast twenty rounds of Soundproof Magic and Defense Magic on your tent. Being all Humans, they guessed what you and Hua Jieyu were about to do without even asking, the mages took the money and left with a chuckle.

"Speak." Once inside the tent, your face turned serious, the quick change of expression left Hua Jieyu somewhat at a loss.

"Mu Yun..." Hua Jieyu steadied her heart and said, "Before that, let me show you my Domain." As she spoke, the Hua Jieyu in your eyes suddenly disappeared, and then you realized the Hua Jieyu who had vanished reappeared again.

"Is this your Domain power?"

"The real me is right here."

The voice of Hua Jieyu came from your left side. At this moment, two identical Hua Jieyus stood before you. Without saying a word, you walked over and first squeezed the Hua Jieyu who had appeared earlier, and as you touched her, each Hua Jieyu responded in turn; but when you were about to squeeze the second Hua Jieyu, that Hua Jieyu instead flung herself into your embrace, and tears of heartache instantly poured forth.

"Why... why do you still refuse to believe me?" Hua Jieyu cried sorrowfully.

Hearing her crying, your heart suddenly trembled, after which you held the Hua Jieyu in your arms tightly, remaining silent.

The two embraced for a long time, and it wasn’t until quite a bit later that Hua Jieyu spoke again: "My Domain power is to create substitutes. With my current strength, I can create three substitutes within a 30-meter range."

As she spoke, three figures, looking exactly like Hua Jieyu, already stood behind her.

"Master." The three Hua Jieyus bowed to you simultaneously.

"Their every move is controlled by my brain, but I can’t feel their nerves. In other words, if you stab them with a knife, I won’t feel it. Even if they die, I can recreate one in an hour." While saying this, you suddenly realized that the Hua Jieyu in your arms had vanished, this time completely, leaving you who had been embracing Hua Jieyu suddenly cradling empty air.

"Once my Domain is activated, I can disappear for a long time, as if entering a special space. Although I can see everything happening in this space, the flaw is that I can’t make any vigorous movements, or else my True Body will be revealed." As she said this, Hua Jieyu appeared before you again.

"This is a good Domain," you said, nodding, with not much expression on your face.

"This Domain was inherited from my mother, she passed away when I was a child. My mother wasn’t an Imperial person; she was from the Shui Clan."

"The Shui Clan?"

"The Shui Clan is one of the oldest ethnic groups on the continent, and to this day no one knows where they live."

Hua Jieyu showed a reminiscent look: "My father had many women. Even when my mother was alive, the number of women he favored had already reached twenty. It was only after my mother’s death that he changed his shameless ways. My mother was the only person I depended on in this world. After she left this world, I was locked alone inside the deep palace for a very long period of time, not seeing anyone."

You did not speak because you already guessed what would come next in the story.

Although Hua Jieyu’s narrative sounded like a story, you believed that this time, Hua Jieyu was speaking the truth.

"One night when I was fourteen, I had a dream. In the dream, my mother told me that she was waiting for me somewhere in the Sad Plains. That night, I climbed over the city wall and secretly left the home where I had lived for fourteen years. After that, I met some people. They were all good people, who sincerely treated me as a friend and were very kind to me. We journeyed together into the Sad Plains." Speaking of her past friends, Hua Jieyu wept once again, "Later, they all died."

At some point, you had pulled Hua Jieyu gently into your embrace. Hua Jieyu felt your warmth and slowly said: "Just as I said before, most of them were killed by Goblins. There were two others who in the end joined the Robbers and led those Robbers to the Goblin Altar."

"Alright, let’s stop there." Having heard this, the thorn in your heart completely dissolved, and you felt there was no need to listen any further.

"Let me finish," Hua Jieyu took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her emotions, "At that time, I used my Domain. The Goblins had captured one of my substitutes, while I hid myself stealthily, watching my companions being violated and butchered with my own eyes."

Although Hua Jieyu’s tone of speech was relatively calm, you knew that her heart was in more pain than anyone else’s at this moment. Just like exposing an unhealed scar, as she peeled off the wound bit by bit, the agony her heart had to bear grew heavier and heavier.
