Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife

Chapter 35- Third Martial Stage Practitioner

When that announcement was made, the crowd quietened.

Nobody expected that, excluding Mu Ting Er, there was someone that could bring out an effect of quieting the crowd.

In the arena, a white clothed person walked to the center. Even though the young girl seemed meager in size, her appearance couldn’t be ignored. Mu Ting Er was like a weak and delicate white flower, but this girl had the temperament of a pine bamboo in the snowy mountains, upright and unfearing of the cold.

It was undeniable to everyone that in the Mu family, the most outstanding daughter was Mu Ting Er. But if one were to speak about beauty, then it was definitely the number one trash of the Kingdom of Zi Yue, Mu Ru Yue.

Her beauty was like the essence of the moon, dazing everyone.

“You’re Mu Ru Yue?” Li Lu smirked as he audaciously looked at Mu Ru Yue. “If you lose to me, how about becoming my 13th concubine?”

“That’s fine.” Mu Ru Yue smiled, but didn’t contain any warmth. “But if you lose, you’ll submit to me and recognise me as your master. Do you agree?”

“Haha!” Li Lu laughed without restraint as he looked at Mu Ru Yue with an interest filled gaze. “So what if I promise you?”

After he said that, he paused before continuing, “I won’t lose!”

‘Mu Ru Yue is the famous trash of the kingdom, so how could I lose under her hands?’

But before Li Lu could make his move, Mu Ru Yue made hers. Seeing the sharp icy aura of the sword in her hand, Li Lu’s breath became slightly sluggish.

“Third Martial Stage practitioner!”

That was right, the aura that was being emitted from her body carried an aura only a Third Martial Stage practitioner would have.

Li Lu’s expression changed as he tried to use his sword to defend against her attack. At that instant, he felt something strike hard against his chest. He couldn’t help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, forcing him to retreat back a few steps.

This unexpected result stunned everyone.

Li Lu’s ability wasn’t strong, but he was a Third Martial Stage practitioner. ‘The trash made me spit out a mouthful of blood?‘

“Third Stage! She’s actually a Third Martial Stage practitioner!” Mu Qing gritted his teeth as he glared at Mu Ru Yue with hatred.

Currently, his feelings hadn’t changed from his previous feeling that his daughter was trash, nor did it wash off his feeling of humiliation from her. He instead felt that she’d purposely hid her strength in order to go against him by washing off her trash title in front of the crowd.

There were two others that also didn’t have pleasant expression.

Since she often called her a trash, Mu Yi Xue suddenly felt displeased that she wouldn’t be able to call her a trash after today. On the other hand, Mu Ting Er clearly knew she was the reason why Mu Ru Yue couldn’t cultivate.

‘I had definitely poisoned her, and the innate talent test had proven that her meridians were sealed—she wouldn’t have been able to cultivate. Moreover, defeating the Third Martial Stage Li Lu to a tie is one thing, but how did she force him to spit out a mouthful of blood?’

How laughable it was that the two daughters and their father, who had insulted her as trash, hated her even more after she’d washed off her trash title? They even thought it had made it more difficult for them to raise their head and already thought of taking her life out of hatred.

“I concede defeat.” Li Lu raised his hand as he said it with satisfaction. “Lady Mu really hid her powers deeply, it gave me a shock. There’s something I don’t understand though. We’re both at the Third Martial Stage but why do I feel that you’re much more powerful than that?”

It was precisely this feeling that made Li Lu know it would be meaningless to continue since he would definitely lose.
