Chapter 744: Chapter 746: The Death of Zi Feng, Soul Scattered (Part 16)
One couldn’t tell how much time had passed when the howling voice under the flames turned to ash, but the flames did not completely dissipate, instead, they burned even more fiercely.
“Let’s go.”
Mu Ruyue glanced at the transparent body struggling in the flames, then turned to look at Ye Wuchen, “Let her soul vanish on its own here!”
Erasing a soul, with the strength of Bai Ze and Ye Wuchen, could instantly turn her into smoke. However, Mu Ruyue did not do so; she wanted her to undergo ten days and nights of Fire Punishment before dissipating into the air…
Xiao Feng and Yao Yunqing temporarily stayed in the Yao Family, while the others followed Mu Ruyue back to the Fengyun Empire. The moment they stepped into the Xiao Family’s threshold, Madam Sheng Yue rushed forward.
“Yue’er, you’ve finally come back.”
Three years on the continent equated to several decades in Wujie, hence Madam Sheng Yue became very excited upon seeing Mu Ruyue.
“Sister!”
A crisp voice came from up ahead.
Mu Ruyue was about to say more to Madam Sheng Yue, but upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but look forward, and in an instant, a graceful blue figure slowly floated by.
The girl’s clear eyes were smiling, and her youthful face bore a brilliant smile, which she lifted into a grin that was as radiant as the sunshine.
“Qingqing?” Mu Ruyue was stunned for a moment, almost failing to recognize the girl.
It had been a long time since they last saw each other. The little girl who was only half her height had grown so tall and graceful, which really took her aback.
“Sister!”
Xiao Qingqing barreled towards her and heavily threw herself into Mu Ruyue’s arms, lifting her bright eyes and smiling as she gazed at Mu Ruyue.
“Sister, I missed you so much…”
Mu Ruyue’s heart softened, and she raised her hand to ruffle Xiao Qingqing’s hair, smiling as she said, “Qingqing, I’m back…”
Yes, she was back!
But as it seemed, they had all matured quite well within Wujie…
“Yue’er, why didn’t Qingqing and Feng’er come back with you?” Madam Sheng Yue turned to look behind her, asking gently.
“Yunqing and her grandpa haven’t seen each other in a long time, so they temporarily stayed with the Yao Family. By the way, mother, how are things progressing for those two? When are they getting married?”
Upon hearing this, Madam Sheng Yue couldn’t help but sigh.
“I like Qingqing a lot, but… Feng’er seems to be unclear, and despite spending so many years together, Qingqing has been by his side all these years, yet he has never shown any willingness to happily marry Qingqing. Qingqing thinks Feng’er is being responsible by agreeing to the marriage; she doesn’t want this strained relationship, so they still aren’t married.”
Madam Sheng Yue sadly smiled, “Don’t look at them and think they are only in their twenties now; if it weren’t for the Immortality Elixir you gave them, would they look like this? Truly, considering the years they have lived, they should be old enough to have grandchildren.”
Mu Ruyue reassuringly smiled, “Mother, you aren’t unaware of my elder brother’s personality, he doesn’t like showing his emotions openly. If he didn’t have Qingqing in his heart, he surely wouldn’t have risked entering the Xiao Family for her, nor would he feel obligated, I’m not saying my brother is irresponsible, just that he doesn’t like to force himself. So I am certain that he truly cares for her. Mother, have you spoken to Yunqing about this?”
