Chapter 1088: Chapter 953: The Fugitive Mu Qingyi Chapter 1088: Chapter 953: The Fugitive Mu Qingyi “`

Late at night, deep within the Soul Hall palace.

Chu Mu sat alone in the courtyard, as Ye Qingzi was also up late at night refining potions. Chu Mu couldn’t disturb her, so he could only sit alone in a courtyard covered with fallen leaves, drinking tea.

In the past, Chu Mu always looked forward to meditating at night. But now, meditating served no purpose for him. He felt it was a waste to use that time for sleep, so he usually just picked up a book about various Soul Pet breeds and read.

This time, Chu Mu was reading a book about the Phoenix Clan. There were many aspects about this race that Chu Mu still didn’t understand. If he could thoroughly dissect them, he would handle the command in battle and the use of skills with even more ease in the future, perhaps playing a decisive role.

“So each Phoenix of different attributes possesses a unique lifesaving skill. What is the lifesaving skill of the Dream of Oblivion?” Chu Mu leafed through this extremely ancient tome.

Unfortunately, the book only recorded two types of Phoenixes in the Soul Hall. One was the Fire Series Crowned Phoenix King, which Chu Mu had seen.

There was also the Wind Phoenix, a combination of the Winged System and the Wind Element. This Wind Phoenix must be the most agile creature among all races, with the strongest innate talent for aerial combat.

As for the Dream of Oblivion, a member of the Phoenix Clan with the Dark Attribute, it seemed that there were no records about it in the Human Domain. Chu Mu could now only delve deeper into the Dream of Oblivion through general Phoenix Clan literature.

Chu Mu took a sip of tea, preparing to turn to the next page, when suddenly a cold wind blew through the little forest by his side.

The courtyard where Chu Mu stayed was quite large, adjacent to a small grove that directly connected to the gardens of the Soul Hall palace complex, creating a truly unique layout.

Chu Mu’s perception was exceedingly strong, so he found this breeze somewhat unusual, his gaze revealing a hint of silver light as he watched the dark forest next to him.

Suddenly, within the forest, a pair of ice-white pupils flashed with a dim glow as they made their way toward Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was stunned. Wasn’t that Mu Qingyi’s White Tiger?

For some reason, the aura of the White Tiger was now much stronger than when Chu Mu had seen it before, and it might have already crossed the threshold of Emperor. But the powerful energy seemed very unstable.

Normally, such a situation occurs when one’s strength has just made a breakthrough, which at that moment will activate all the potential in one’s body, causing the strength to reach a temporary peak. However, the White Tiger appeared extremely weak, making it seem far from its usual majestic self, rather wearied and worn.

As the White Tiger approached, Chu Mu noticed a delicate woman lying on its back, her hair hanging down one side of her face, while the other side of her face looked deathly pale, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Chu Mu was shocked. Wasn’t this woman Mu Qingyi?

Why would such a Dominator-level powerhouse appear here in such a sorry state, and obviously severely injured?

“What happened?” Chu Mu quickly stepped forward, supporting the half-fainting, half-conscious Mu Qingyi, and led her into his own room.

Mu Qingyi seemed to lack even the strength to speak. Leaning on Chu Mu, she entered his room, and by the time she lay down, her eyes were already closed.

Chu Mu could tell that Mu Qingyi must have reached this place by sheer force of will. However, he didn’t understand why she would come to him in such a grievously injured state.

“Roar~~~~~~~”

The White Tiger, also covered in wounds, sprawled beside Mu Qingyi’s bed, its eyes half-closed, not allowing anyone to approach its unconscious master.

Seeing that the White Tiger was also severely injured, Chu Mu took out a Healing Potion that Ye Qingzi had concocted from his Space Ring and administered it to the White Tiger.

“Stay here and guard her. I’ll find someone to treat her,” Chu Mu told the White Tiger.

“Roar~~~~” The White Tiger let out a low growl, stopping Chu Mu. It communicated through Mental Sound, telling Chu Mu not to let anyone know that its master was hiding here.

The White Tiger’s wishes made Chu Mu troubled. First of all, he couldn’t involve Ye Qingzi, for she was in a state of closed-door cultivation herself, and disturbing her would cause her backlash injuries.

Yet if no one was allowed to know she was here, what about her severe injuries? Does it mean he, who only knows how to handle some minor injuries, should treat Mu Qingyi?

“Sigh, well, I’ve done it once before.” Saving lives was urgent. Chu Mu didn’t think much further and pulled out the medicinal bath used for soaking and healing from his Space Ring.

With a simple gesture, Chu Mu’s fingers turned into several space blades, effortlessly cutting open Mu Qingyi’s clothes, revealing her fair, jade-like body to his eyes.

Chu Mu momentarily lost focus, then smiled wryly. Why was it the same as last time?

Truthfully, Chu Mu had no mind to appreciate the sight because, just like last time, Mu Qingyi’s body was marred with numerous wounds.

Chu Mu opened all the containers of medicine and formed walls of space on all four sides of the bed, creating a medicinal bath. He poured all the Healing Potion in, allowing Mu Qingyi to soak in it, estimating she would wake up after a while.

Chu Mu initially wanted to ask the White Tiger what had happened, but apart from some basic communication, understanding the full situation from this old tiger posed a significant language barrier. So Chu Mu could only sit there and wait.

…

By the time it was almost dawn, Mu Qingyi’s external injuries were largely healed.

Of course, these heals were superficial wounds, and soaking in Ye Qingzi’s medicinal bath certainly sped up her recovery. But Mu Qingyi’s spirit had suffered tremendous trauma, and her soul was also challenged. These were conditions that would take a long time to recuperate from.

When the morning sun hung crimson at the edge of the sky, Mu Qingyi finally opened her eyes.

Her first sight was of Chu Mu, who had fallen asleep in the chair with his head resting on his hand, and then her gaze fell upon her own bare body, which was actually exposed before him. Fortunately for her, Chu Mu’s eyes were closed, sparing her from complete embarrassment.

Mu Qingyi’s body floated up as she took a large robe from her space ring to cover her enticing, wet body.

She didn’t immediately wake Chu Mu, but simply leaned on the edge of the bed, those somewhat dim eyes staring at him.

She didn’t even know why she had chosen to flee here, maybe because he had saved her once in the Qiankun Ice Gate, and had he wished to harm her, he could have killed her then.

Of course, Mu Qingyi didn’t know that before that incident, Chu Mu indeed had planned to kill her…

“Chu Fangchen.” Mu Qingyi called out gently.

Chu Mu opened his eyes and looked at Mu Qingyi who had already dressed. In fact, he had been pretending to sleep, feeling that staring at her while she dressed would be quite impolite.

Unfortunately, the healing liquid wasn’t transparent, so Chu Mu didn’t have the chance to admire her flawless body after all.

“Nobody knows I’m here, right?” Mu Qingyi asked in a low voice, biting her pale lips.

Chu Mu shook his head and asked, “Who injured you like this?”

Mu Qingyi didn’t want to say, as she felt it was none of Chu Mu’s business and she didn’t want to drag him into it.

“Once I’ve recovered, we’ll head to the Demonic Realm. This place is safe, right?” Mu Qingyi said.

“Safe it is…” Chu Mu gave a bitter smile.

Mu Qingyi recalled the White Tiger into the Soul Pet Space, letting it heal in peace, but for a time, both of them fell into silence.

Mu Qingyi would occasionally space out, and whenever she remembered the scene of Emperor Si Ye being trampled to death alive, she couldn’t help but want to cry. But the strong-willed her didn’t want Chu Mu to see her like this, so she just sat there occasionally lost in thought, grieving on her own.

Chu Mu could tell that Mu Qingyi must have had a Soul Pet killed, and he didn’t know how to console her. He just sat there, watching her, waiting for her to speak.

However, as they sat, Mu Qingyi’s eyes still moistened.

The Mu Clan was indeed an imperial clan of the Wanxiang Realm, but with King Mu’s disappearance, his descendants were no more than figureheads in the Wanxiang Realm. Mu Qingyi’s lineage was teetering on the verge of being the last.

Nowadays, the Wanxiang Realm had long been divided by the Soul Covenant and the Three Great Palaces. The Mu Clan could only retain some ancient rights, and had even voluntarily given up nearly all control of the cities to the two powers.

Yet in the end, their wolfish ambitions remained unsatisfied, not only lacking respect for the Mu Clan but also completely expunging her!

With their territory ceded and the Mu Clan having chosen to withdraw and even protect the safety of all humans selflessly, why this relentless eradication!

All this made Mu Qingyi feel an unprecedented sense of humiliation and anger!

“What exactly happened, talk to me,” Chu Mu said, seeing that the persistent and strong Female War Goddess could no longer contain her tears. He couldn’t bear to watch it and finally spoke up.

Mu Qingyi looked up at Chu Mu, tears swirling in her eyes.

However, she had never been one to confide in others and didn’t know where to begin.

After all, this matter was definitely not as simple as setting a trap for her. Mu Qingyi believed that within just one month, the Mu Clan might completely disappear from the Wanxiang Realm, and even worse, be laden with countless infamies!

Seeing that Mu Qingyi remained silent, Chu Mu could only sigh and say, “Never mind, just heal in peace here, you are safe.”

Having said that, Chu Mu stood up and exited the room, leaving Mu Qingyi to adjust on her own.

“Can you help me leave Wanxiang City?” Suddenly, Mu Qingyi asked softly.

“Is it that difficult to leave Wanxiang City?” Chu Mu asked, perplexed.

“Yes, very difficult. I tried to leave last night, but no matter which direction I fled, people from the Soul Covenant would appear, and in the end, I could only hide here,” Mu Qingyi explained.

Chu Mu frowned, wondering just how powerful the Soul Covenant was to keep Mu Qingyi from even leaving the city.

“It should be possible. Heal well now and don’t think about anything else,” Chu Mu consoled her, before stepping out of the room.

Mu Qingyi watched Chu Mu’s composed and steady departure, her mind slowly drifting away, but then her expression dimmed once more, sinking back into that inescapable pain again.
