Chapter 10 - A Tender, yet Murderous Intent (1/2)
A girl stepped into the courtyard.
She was dressed in a blue mini skirt that wrapped tightly around her bust, and beneath the knee-length skirt was a pair of slender legs. Her long ponytail swayed as she walked, and a trace of anger flashed across her pair of big, brown eyes. She had healthy, tanned skin and was holding a blue leather whip in her hand as she walked towards them.
Mu Qing was slightly stunned and greeted the young woman immediately when he saw her approaching.
The young woman was Mu Chen’s 19 year old daughter, Mu Linger. She enrolled at the Royal Wudo Academy at age 18 and her cultivation had reached Zi Fu Fourth Sky. She was also a well-known Wudo genius among the Mu family.
On top of her supreme Wudo cultivation, she was also very beautiful. Hence, every year, there were many families who came to ask for her hand in marriage, but she was quite hot-tempered. Once, she whipped a pursuer until he was badly bruised, so nobody in the Mu family would dare to mess with her either.
“Sister Linger.”
Mu Feng had a warm smile on his face when he saw her.
“Mu Qing, why are you here?”
Mu Linger pointed at Mu Qing and said angrily. She was like a dragon lady.
“Sister Mu Ling, I was just playing with my cousin brothers. Everything is fine. I’ll take my leave now.”
Mu Qing explained and left swiftly with his three servants.
Meanwhile, Mu Kuang stood up with his face swollen and bruised. Mu Feng hurried over to help him. When he saw his brother being beaten to such a state, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
“Mu Kuang, are you alright?”
Mu Linger asked with concern.
“I-I’m fine. Thank you, Sister Mu Ling.”
Mu Kuang said appreciatively.
Mu Linger took out a small white bottle and poured some green liquid onto Mu Kuang’s face. Its cooling effect relieved the pain and Mu Kuang instantly felt much better.
“Why are you back?”
Mu Feng asked. Mu Linger was supposed to be cultivating in the Royal Wudo Academy.
“Can’t I come back to see you?”
Mu Linger gave him a hard stare, making Mu Feng speechless. He then smiled helplessly.
Mu Feng and Mu Linger were very close. Others might think that they were actual siblings.
“Okay, your swelling will be greatly reduced in a short while.”
Mu Linger said with a smile as she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
“Thank you so much, Sister Linger. I will take my leave now so that you and Brother Feng can catch up.”
Mu Kuang replied shyly while his face turned a little red. Mu Feng saw him out and walked back into the room after a while.
“I heard that all your Meta-pulses were damaged and that your cultivation has gone down the drain. Is it true?”
Mu Ling bit her lips and asked Mu Feng softly.
Mu Feng nodded with a calm expression. All of a sudden, Mu Linger had tears in her eyes. She walked towards Mu Feng and gave him a warm embrace.
Feeling her delicate body and her nice fragrance, Mu Feng felt warm and fuzzy.
Mu Linger sobbed quietly as she knew how much pain and sadness Mu Feng had been through recently. Her second uncle was dead and Mu Feng’s Meta-pulses were damaged. On top of that, she also heard that the Yun family had called off his marriage.
Whenever Mu Linger thought about what Mu Feng had been through, her heart hurt as though somebody was stabbing her.
“Sister, don’t cry. I’m fine. You look really ugly when you cry. You’ll drive all your pursuers away.”
Mu Feng joked and tried to console her.
