Chapter 49: One Against a Crowd (5)

Normally, Ye Tianfeng would’ve hastened to explain, but he said nothing now. He just looked at the naked Mu Ting’er on the stage with his sword brows faintly furrowed.

Three days ago, he was able to stand on Mu Ting’er’s side after she uttered those vicious words. However, now that so many people had seen the woman he was going to marry, although it wasn’t her fault, the thought of so many people lusting after his woman brought him an unpleasant feeling.

It could be said that Ye Tianfeng had the nature of an ordinary man. He could tolerate the malice of his own woman, but he couldn’t bear the thought of his bed partner being seen naked by so many people. Even he could imagine the number of men in the arena envisioning themselves bedding Mu Ting’er.

After mobilizing the Dual Modal Sword, Mu Ruyue collapsed. She was now powerfless. Her clothes were drenched in sweat and clung tightly to her body, outlining her perfect curves.

At this stage, a youth behind her scrambled up, stumbled a few steps, and with a bang, directed a fist coated with a layer of flames towards Mu Ruyue.

This unforeseen course of action stunned the crowd, but Mu Ruyue seemed to have eyes behind her and ducked past him then kicked the youth with all her might. In a flash, the youth was pitched into an arc and smashed into Mu Ting’er in front of him.

Before the youth could withdraw his fist, he struck Mu Ting’er. Now that Mu Ting’er was unsteady on her feet, she failed to withstand his punch.

In an instant, her petite body made an arc and landed on the stage loudly.

While the youth passed out again after exhausting the last of his strength.

A lot of bodies littered the huge tournament stage, but only that wisp of beauty stood proudly. The spectators couldn’t help but swallow their spit, staring in astonishment at Mu Ruyue standing on the stage.

She actually rose victorious against a crowd. What’s more was that even Mu Ting’er, who advanced to the fifth rank with an elixir, was defeated. This woman was clearly a demon. Who else was as twisted as her?

Ye Tianfeng’s eyes darkened as he dashed to Mu Ting’er’s side and covered her with his clothes before leaping up into the ring and sweeping a glance at the young girl standing in front of him.

“Mu Ruyue, is this your way of getting my attention? I have to say—you succeeded.”

He clasped his hands behind him and let the breeze flap open his robe. His handsome face was beautiful under the sun with a hint of ambiguity hidden within his pair of deep eyes.

Mu Ruyue chuckled shallowly. “What is it about you that should attract me?”

Ye Tianfeng’s complexion changed a bit, but he returned to normal just as quickly. “Just now, Ting’er said that you wanted to kill her just to get me. So, wasn’t this all just to get my attention? Mu Ruyue, you’ve been pestering me for so many years. Wasn’t it because you wanted to be my consort? Fine, I’ll grant you your wish. You will be my Imperial Consort.”

Mu Ting’er, who had just woken up and heard Ye Tianfeng’s words, became so angry that her eyes rolled and she fainted again.

“Your Royal Highness.” Mu Qing’s face changed dramatically. “Then, Ting’er…”

“I will grant her the title of my concubine.”

Although he was resentful that so many people had seen Mu Ting’er, they’d been intimate after all. So, Ye Tianfeng would still grant her a title.

“Your Royal Highness, you seem to have forgotten one thing.” Mu Ruyue shrugged her shoulders. Even though she had a smile on her face, her dark eyes were icy. “I am the Ghost King’s Consort, your aunt.”
