Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife

“Yue Er, you’re finally back. Are you trying to worry all of us to death? You’ve already vanished for an entire week. I thought you have been set up by that woman Xiao Yu again!”

Even though there were several people that knew about Mu Ru Yue’s whereabouts, they similarly didn’t leave the alchemy training room until Mu Ru Yue left. They naturally wouldn’t be able to spread out the news…

“Aren’t I back now? That’s right, where’s Qian Ye and Yi Lian?” Mu Ru Yue’s brow rose but she couldn’t detect any signs of them. She turned her head to look at Li Sha and asked.

Li Sha was startled before she smiled coldly and replied, “Isn’t all due to that bastard Qi Mo?”

“Qi Mo?”

Mu Ru Yue creased her brows tightly.

‘Can it be something happened again during the time I wasn’t around?’

“Qi Mo has regretted and wants Qian Ye to forgive him. But Qian Ye ignored him. Yet, he continues to pester her constantly. Qian Ye, who had reached her limit, chose to train in the secret realm. Yi Lian worries for her safety so she went along with her, leaving me behind to wait for your return.”

‘Secret realm?’

Mu Ru Yue’s expression turned slightly grim as she exclaimed, “Not good!”

“What’s wrong?” Li Sha turned her head to look at Mu Ru Yue as she asked, puzzled.

“There’s only a place within the academy that can allow people to kill someone without being found out. It is the secret realm of the academy! If someone kills somebody inside that place, there certainly won’t be anyone that will find out about that!”

Li Sha’s heart trembled.

‘How have I not thought about this point?’

She then replied with a shaky voice, “Then… what shall we do? They have already left two days ago.”

Li Sha almost broke down in tears upon saying that. Guilt was fully displayed on her face.

‘If I’ve thought about this point earlier, I definitely won’t let them go to that secret realm…’

“Let’s go and find them. Perhaps we may still be able to get to them in time!”

Mu Ru Yue’s gaze darkened. An ice-cold ray of light flashed past her eyes.

✶

The secret realm was a cultivating place of the academy. They just needed to use ten spiritual stones in order to be teleported to another dimension via the teleportation array outside the secret realm…

Not only was there dense energies within that dimensional space, but there were also a lot of treasures and powerful demon beasts. Thus, it was the best training place for the disciples within the academy.

Yi Lian was supporting the injured Qian Ye within the secret realm. She couldn’t help but retreat a few steps back. She looked warily at the aggressive crowd before them.

“Who are you? Why are you trying to kill Qian Ye and me?”

“Haha!”

The youth that was the head of the group laughed heartily. With a mockery smile, he said, “Nothing much. It’s just that my mood dampened after seeing the two of you. Hence, the two of you must forfeit your lives here today!”

Yi Lian’s heart skipped a beat.

‘There are four God-general High Rank practitioners. Even though they have the same cultivation as I am, Qian Ye is only at the God-general Mid Rank…

‘Therefore, we aren’t a match for this group of people! What’s worse is that these people have pursued us for an entire day. Yet, we are still clueless as to who they are!’

“Yi Lian, stop asking. I know who they are!” Qian Ye wiped away the remnants of blood from the corner of her lips. She chuckled bitterly before saying, “I’ve implicated you. If I haven’t guessed wrong, they… should be doing things for Xiao Yu!”

“It’s that woman again!”

Yi Lian’s expression darkened with a glacial ray of light in her eyes.

“Haha!” The youthful disciples laughed out loud before saying, “It seems you aren’t idiots since you were able to guess it that quickly. You will be dead shortly anyways so no harm telling you the truth. That’s right, it is indeed Elder Apprentice Sister Xiao Yu that called us to come here after you. Moreover, she promised that she will help us break through to the God-general Peak realm once we kill you! Thus, it can be counted as you won’t die a meaningless death!”

“Yue Er, you’re finally back. Are you trying to worry me to death? You’ve already vanished for an entire week. I thought you have cheated on me!”

‘Even though I know Mu Ru Yue wouldn’t cheat on me, she may be tempted by others. Everyone, other than Mu Ru Yue, can’t be trusted.’

“Aren’t I back now? That’s right, have you missed me?” Mu Ru Yue’s brow rose but she held back her intense impulse to smother Li Sha to death with her tight embrace. She turned her head to look at Li Sha and asked.

Goddess Miki suddenly appeared and with a deep frown, she exclaimed, “Hey! What’s happening here? Mu Ru Yue! How can you do this to Ye Wu Chen? Is being in love with him actually an act to cover up your relationship? How long has this been happening? AhhhH!”

‘I’ve read that guys does this in other novels… Does girls does this as well now? Oh my~ Oh my~’

[P.S To Miki’s lovely readers, Miki: Have I fooled anyone even for a moment? *sniggers*]
