Chapter 3 - Mu Feng in a Pinch (1/2)

There were thousands of kingdoms within the vast land of the Bei Wu continent, and countless battles were fought among them.

The Nan Ling Capital was a big city with millions of people, including both good and bad people.

The Mu family was a family of Wudo cultivators. The Mu clansmen had been soldiers for many generations and they all held high ranks in the Nan Ling army. The Mu family was an upper-class family, but not a top class one.

In this world, every inch of the land belonged to the king and every individual living on this land was the king’s subject. In this capital, it was obvious that the top-class family was royalty.

Inside a well-renovated room of the Mu family’s mansion, a ray of sunlight shone through the windows onto the handsome face of a young man.

The young man was sleeping like a newborn baby and breathing regularly. His upper body was wrapped in white bandages.

No one knew exactly how many battles this 15 or 16 year old young man had been through, but the countless battle scars on his body told his story. A sanguine Qilin was tattooed on his shoulder.

A white-haired doctor was checking the young man’s pulse. After he finished, he stood up and said to a middle-aged man beside him: “Lord Mu, the third Little Lord is recovering steadily and he will be fully recovered after some time, but……”

The middle-aged man had a fierce look and was dressed in black robes. He also emitted an aura of iron and blood and was respected by the others.

He was Mu Chen, the lord of the Mu family and also Mu Feng’s uncle.

“But what? Doctor Liu, please tell me.”

Mu Chen frowned when he saw that doctor Liu was stammering.

“All the Meta-pulses in the Little Lord’s body have been damaged and are not healing. I’m afraid that he will have to give up his Wudo cultivation for the rest of his life.”

“Ho-How is that possible?”

“Little Lord Feng……”

Upon hearing the statement, the faces of all the other Mu family members turned pale.

“Feng……”

A beautiful young girl with big eyes who wore a white skirt teared up as well. She touched the young man’s face with her slender hand and felt very sorry for him.

She was Yun Qingwan, Mu Feng’s childhood friend as well as his fiancée. She was the daughter of the Yun family, an upper-class family that also practiced in Wudo cultivation.

“Nonsense! Doctor Liu, it’s impossible that brother Feng has damaged all of his Meta-pulses, and there’s no way that he will have to give up his Wudo cultivation. Doctor Liu, stop talking crap! Br-brother Feng is our family’s genius!”

A young man who was about Mu Feng’s age grabbed hold of Doctor Liu’s collar and shouted angrily. He was Mu Kuang. He had short hair and was dressed in black robes as well. He also had a bad temper.

There is no future for a man who cannot practice Wudo cultivation in a Wudo family.

“Mu Kuang, stand down. Don’t be rude!”

Mu Chen shouted. Mu Kuang clenched his fist and backed down. He looked at the young man lying on the bed and gritted his teeth.

“Brother Feng……”

“Doctor Liu, can’t he be cured? We are willing to give up everything we have.”

Mu Chen asked with a tremble in his voice.

“Yes, it’s possible. His Meta-pulses can be healed, but only if you manage to find a sixth-class panacea, or an extraordinary doctor who is willing to cure him by using up his own Wudo energy over a long period of time. However, as you already know, it would be hard to find a sixth-class panacea even if we searched every corner of this kingdom.” (EN: Wudo energy is the overarching term for cultivation energies like Vitality and Meta-Power. I don’t think it will be used that often, though.)

The doctor said with a sigh.

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, everybody showed a look of despair. It’s not even known whether or not this kind of panacea existed in the whole Nan Ling kingdom.

“All right, I see. You may take your leave now, doctor.”

At that moment, Mu Chen looked like he had suddenly aged. With a wave of his hand, the doctor took his leave. He then ordered the others to leave as well, leaving only Yun Qingwan and him in the room.

“Qingwan,you should go home and rest if you’re feeling tired.”

“No, uncle Mu, I want to be here with Mu Feng. You should go and rest instead.”

Yun Qingwan shook her head. Mu Chen left the room with a sigh when he heard her words.
