Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Mu Ruyue Returns (Part 3)

As he spoke, Elder Xiao coughed twice, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood. His body shook a few times, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Having just fended off Nangong Zifeng’s lethal attack, his internal organs suffered severe damage. The fact that he had held on until now was already the limit of his endurance.

Mu Ruyue hurriedly took an elixir from the Space Ring and stuffed it into Elder Xiao’s mouth. As soon as the elixir dissolved, a soothing stream flowed through him, gradually healing his wounds.

Elder Xiao was somewhat stunned. Was this the ability of an Earth-grade Peak Alchemy Master? But even if she was powerful, she had only just broken through to the Innate Realm. How could she stand a chance against Nangong Zifeng, who was an Intermediate Innate?

“Miss, you must leave this place at once. As long as you are alive, you are the hope of the Xiao Family!” Urgency shone in Elder Xiao’s eyes. This girl was the heir to the Ancestor, and if she lived, the Xiao Family had hope for revival. With that, he could face the Ancestor with dignity in the netherworld.

Mu Ruyue gently lowered her eyes without responding to Elder Xiao’s words. She then lifted her gaze and swept it across the people inside the barrier. In a soft voice, she said, “Father, Mother, Grandpa, I, Mu Ruyue, have returned…”

Yes, she had returned.

Now that she had returned, she would not allow Nangong Zifeng to harm the Xiao Family, not even the slightest bit!

“Yue’er, run!” Madam Sheng Yue’s heart shook violently, and she became frantic, “Nangong Zifeng’s main target is you, hurry and leave! Wuchen has already gone to Central Province to find you, and your elder brother followed him. Find them quickly. You can avenge us later!”

Hurry and run…

Madam Sheng Yue’s lips were tightly pressed as she looked pleadingly at the girl standing in the wind.

“Don’t worry,” Mu Ruyue curved her lips into a smile, a cold sneer hanging at their edge, “As long as I am here today, nobody will be able to harm the people of the Xiao Family!”

She turned her head to look at Nangong Zifeng, her stunning face filled with determination.

That assertive tone left no room for doubt in her words…

“Hahaha!” Nangong Zifeng, just recovering from the intimidation posed by Elder Xiao, burst into laughter upon hearing Mu Ruyue’s presumptuous words, her laughter filled with a bone-chilling coldness. “Mu Ruyue, no, Moon Venerate! Do you think that by breaking through to the Innate Realm, you’ll be my match? That’s utterly laughable. I will never give Brother Wuchen to a woman like you!”

As she said this, she paused slightly, a proud smile curling on her lips.

“However, Mu Ruyue, I don’t want to kill you anymore. I will capture you and torment you instead, trying my best to erase Brother Wuchen’s memories and make him fall in love with me. And you, you are destined to watch us live in love, to see the man your heart desires in a loving embrace with me.”

How could her jealousy be sated by merely killing Mu Ruyue?

Making her watch Brother Wuchen make love to her, that was the scene that would make Mu Ruyue suffer intensely, wishing for death. She wanted Mu Ruyue to see herself bear children with Brother Wuchen. That would be the best revenge.

To make her experience the agony of her past life once more…

Mu Ruyue slightly raised her eyes, her expression indifferent as she looked at Nangong Zifeng. “First, you can’t erase Wuchen’s memories of me. That is just your wishful thinking. Second, even if Wuchen forgets me, he will never fall in love with you!”

Nangong Zifeng’s complexion changed dramatically.

She knew that Mu Ruyue was stating the truth.

In her previous life, she had not only killed Mu Ruyue but didn’t spare Brother Zi Huang either, because she knew that even if Mu Ruyue died, Brother Zi Huang would never accept her. Only if he, too, died, would there be a chance for her.

However, in the past life, it was the Moon Venerate whom Brother Zi Huang loved, and in this life, Ghost King Ye Wuchen, having lost his memories of his previous life, had fallen in love with Mu Ruyue, the Moon Venerate.

Was this truly predestined?

No!

She couldn’t accept it!

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she had to win that man…
