Chapter 518: Chapter 520: Return to Central Province (4)
“Noble… Miss Ji,” Mu Ruyue had just about to utter the words ‘noble concubine’ but remembered Ji Ru Ya’s current status and swallowed the words back, “what happened here?”
Ji Ru Ya slightly shuddered, bit her lip, and said, “Since leaving the Imperial Palace, my cousin and I have been living in seclusion here. These people are the local ruffians and rogues, they… they took a fancy to me, so…”
There was no need for Ji Ru Ya to finish her sentence, as Mu Ruyue already knew what had occurred.
Truth be told, Mu Ruyue didn’t have a deep impression of Ji Ru Ya. The only vivid memory was when the Holy Maiden Sect came knocking, and Ji Ru Ya defended her. It was for this reason that she was willing to lend a helping hand.
Since the day she left the Imperial Palace, several years had passed without any news of her, and who would have expected to meet her here…
“Miss Mu, have you and the Ghost King married already?” Ji Ru Ya smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes filled with sincere blessings, “The Ghost King’s affection for Miss Mu has been seen by all here, so you are indeed a match made in heaven, a truly divine couple.”
Mu Ruyue smiled faintly. She raised her hand slightly, and in an instant, two elixirs fell into her hand.
“These are Emperor Pills, capable of enabling a Martial Artist to break through to Innate, but it forcibly enhances strength. You can only reach this level in this lifetime and can’t make any further progress, so think carefully before you decide to take them.”
Ji Ru Ya and her cousin were both stunned, their eyes full of deep shock.
Innate? That was a level countless Martial Artists dreamed of attaining. Could they too possess such strength? But Mu Ruyue’s words, Ji Ru Ya never doubted…
“Thank you,” Ji Ru Ya’s voice choked up, trembling as she took the two elixirs from her hand, “Both my cousin and I are not blessed with great Talent. We would not make much progress in our lifetime anyway, so breaking through to Innate is already wonderful. We are already very content.”
“You don’t have to thank me; you deserve this.”
Mu Ruyue smiled faintly and turned towards Ye Wuchen. “Wuchen, let’s go. Grandpa and the others are waiting for us ahead…”
“Okay.”
Ye Wuchen’s lips curled up in a smile, his adoring gaze never leaving the woman by his side…
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ji Ru Ya felt a mix of emotions. She was incredibly thankful that she had chosen to befriend this woman back then, instead of joining others in offending her.
Otherwise, how could she have such luck?
This woman was no saint, not one to lend a hand without reason. Her help today was merely in remembrance of that past protection…
“Cousin, in this life, my greatest fortune, besides meeting you, is the decision I made back then. From the first moment, I knew her future would be extraordinary, but I never expected her to grow to such extents…”
Ji Ru Ya laughed, snuggling into the man’s embrace, her expression full of happiness.
But the others weren’t so calm, all shocked as they watched the two walk away…
“Emperor Pill? What is that, why haven’t we ever heard of it before?”
“From its effects, you should know how powerful the Emperor Pill is. Tsk tsk, that is Innate strength. On the Divine Martial Continent, a single Innate Strong Person is enough to destroy a country!”
“Even if they cannot advance further, but to rise to Innate, who wouldn’t be satisfied? That level is something we could never achieve in our entire lifetimes…”
