Chapter 1596: Chapter 1456: The Encountered Cold Pool City

Chu Mu scratched his head, not knowing about this rule.

But speaking of which, where did Ye Qingzi run off to? Even if he can easily traverse the vast New Moon Land several times in a day, how could he find her without going through the ring?

“Man’er, be good, secretly tell brother where she’s hiding, okay?” Chu Mu whispered.

“You have to follow the custom!” Ning Man’er said earnestly.

“Is there really no hint?” Chu Mu asked Ning Man’er.

Chu Mu knew that Ning Man’er was definitely taking this seriously, with a determined attitude to execute it.

“It’s always one of the places you’ve been before,” Ning Man’er seemed to know something, her face full of sly smiles.

Chu Mu gave a bitter laugh, wondering why it was so hard just to see his wife…

His courtyard was being decorated, and Chu Mu was quickly driven out by Ning Man’er, as if there were some secrets hidden inside.

Chu Mu had no choice but to first report to Liu Binglan.

Upon arriving at the Female Venerate Hall, Chu Mu saw Liu Binglan unusually leisurely sitting in the courtyard, quietly reading a book.

Over the years, as the ruler of the entire New Moon Land, Liu Binglan always seemed busy, and Chu Mu rarely saw her take a break.

When Liu Binglan was quiet, she resembled a beautifully sculpted ice statue, noble and dignified with a touch of coldness, a temperament somewhat similar to Chu Tianmang, who was known as Tian Lu.

In Chu Mu’s memory, Chu Tianmang was a refreshingly straightforward person, perhaps the heavy burdens gradually made him cold, which seems like a tacit understanding in the family, all appearing frosty.

Chu Mu walked over to Liu Binglan and gently massaged her shoulders.

Knowing it was Chu Mu, Liu Binglan gently patted the back of his hand.

Chu Mu’s hands were somewhat cold, as if through these hands one could sense his inner emotions.

“What’s wrong?” asked Liu Binglan softly.

Chu Mu shook his head, ultimately deciding not to mention the matters of Yin Valley.

“Qingzi is really worried about you,” Liu Binglan said.

“Is she waiting for me somewhere?” asked Chu Mu.

“Yes, go find her. According to custom, the bride will leave on the fifth day before the wedding celebration, and the groom will find her within these five days and then lead her to the wedding altar together. She has already been waiting for two days,” Liu Binglan explained.

Chu Mu nodded, intending to leave, but Liu Binglan’s hand did not let go. She seemed to want to say something to Chu Mu but didn’t know how to start.

“I’ve tried spreading the message, hoping your father will know… perhaps when you walk Qingzi to the wedding altar, he will be watching from somewhere,” Liu Binglan spoke softly.

No matter what, Chu Mu was Liu Binglan and Chu Tianmang’s child; their child growing up and marrying is a joyful event. Liu Binglan hoped that Chu Tianmang could appear that day, guessing Chu Mu hoped even more for his presence.

Liu Binglan didn’t know why Chu Tianmang was reluctant to show himself, but she always had a faint feeling that this man was watching her and watching Chu Mu.

“Yeah, I know,” Chu Mu nodded, patting the back of Liu Binglan’s hand.

To prevent Liu Binglan from seeing his lying expression and a momentary dim in his eyes, Chu Mu hurriedly left the Female Venerate Hall.

Perhaps, in the past, Chu Tianmang really did watch from afar, watching him grow step by step, but this time it would be difficult for him to show up.

…

Spring brings rebirth to everything, and transitioning into summer is the peak bloom and blossoming season.

The New Moon Land was filled with unknown flowers competing in splendor, and numerous flower soul pets fluttered among the blossoms.

Chu Mu flew through the air, heading towards the west.

The first place he reached was Xiangrong City, surrounded by countless Spirit Butterflies, a city as beautiful as a fairyland.

In terms of visitors, Xiangrong City’s traffic even surpassed that of Wanxiang City; every part of the city was meticulously sculpted, no woman could resist the beauty, living here was like living in a dreamland.

Chu Mu landed in Xiangrong City and walked towards the city’s garden.

Chu Mu remembered that garden, the moment when petals danced around him, he made a promise to Ye Qingzi, hoping she would marry him.

At that moment, Ye Qingzi was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her shy smile intoxicating Chu Mu.

He had decided to spend his life with her here; perhaps she would be waiting for him here to continue the unfinished wedding and then complete this extremely important witness of their wedding in the blessed Wanxiang City filled with bouquets.

Stepping into the garden, Chu Mu walked up to the area where he and Ye Qingzi had embraced tightly.

The flowers in the forest bloomed brilliantly, very similar to that day’s scene.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingzi was not there.

Chu Mu shook his head and continued to search for her following all his memories of her.

Chu Mu’s second stop was the birch forest outside of Spirit City.

In this birch forest, Chu Mu removed her mask, as if reuniting from life and death, Monument Tears restored her face, resurrecting Chu Mu’s soul, allowing this affection to continue until now.

Chu Mu knew that this birch forest must be the place where Ye Qingzi has the deepest memory, where she would wait for him.

Unfortunately, Chu Mu still did not see Ye Qingzi. The birch trees swayed gently and softly, the clear stream tinkled, and Chu Mu stood by, wistfully recalling that once passionate kiss forgetting everything–her moist lips, soft tongue, all carrying a faint scent, even now Chu Mu has not forgotten the taste of that kiss…

First it was cold with tears’ salty taste, slowly turning warm and slippery, then passionately fiery, burning, scorching, and inseparable!

“Not here?” Chu Mu looked at the empty forest, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Chu Mu thought if Ye Qingzi was not in the garden of Xiangrong City, she should be in this birch forest of Spirit City, sadly he guessed wrong both times.

Chu Mu continued flying towards the west, unknowingly World City slowly came into his view.

This ancient city brought many memories to Chu Mu, these scenes flashed through his mind.

Following the path in World City, Chu Mu walked all the way to West Street.

Relying on memory, Chu Mu slowly arrived under an alley.

The alley was somewhat dark, Chu Mu clearly remembered at that time Ye Qingzi helplessly leaned on the corner, tears streaming down her face.

It was the first time Chu Mu saw the cold and rational Ye Qingzi showing such a fragile side, her haggard and helpless appearance shattered Chu Mu’s heart. At that moment, Chu Mu finally realized Ye Qingzi unknowingly took up such an important place in his heart!

From meeting in Cold Pool City to the Great Chu Noble Family, to Li City and World City, crossing half of New Moon Land, during this whole process Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi maintained a companionship.

The reserved Ye Qingzi didn’t show too much enthusiasm towards Chu Mu, nor did Chu Mu show too much fondness for Ye Qingzi. It was calm and peaceful, occasionally before sleep her image would emerge in his mind, then quickly fade away.

Chu Mu always remembered the stunning Princess Jinrou, but unknowingly the astonishment of Princess Jinrou became so unreal, instead, Ye Qingzi’s silhouette gradually occupied his mind…

Chu Mu himself didn’t know when he began liking her, there wasn’t a peculiar moment that thrilled him, just her meticulous care and tacit concern during their wandering and traveling.

Perhaps these inadvertent things, and the occasional implicit fleeting eye contacts, gradually melted Chu Mu’s heart.

…

Chu Mu stood dumbly in this alley, the dim light almost blending his stern figure into the shadows.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t here.

These three places represent the most important emotional climaxes of the two. If she’s not waiting for him in these three places, where else could she be?

For a moment, Chu Mu felt confused and ashamed.

Ye Qingzi was always so understanding, many times Chu Mu didn’t even need to speak, and she would understand his heart.

But, what about Chu Mu himself?

Does he truly understand Ye Qingzi, as now he doesn’t even know where she is waiting for him.

…

Continuing towards the west, he finally arrived at Cold Pool City in the West Region.

Disasters had occurred in the West Region, Chu Mu wasn’t sure if the Cold Pool City where he first met Ye Qingzi still existed.

After flying over the mountain ranges, Chu Mu saw a solitary city situated at the foot of the mountains.

The past Cold Pool City was ancient and outdated, but now it had become very exquisite.

Thankfully, the city was still here; if it had disappeared, their meeting would have lost a witness.

Chu Mu felt somewhat relieved. He walked to the city gate, remembering the first time he met Ye Qingzi–she coldly stood beside her brother Ye Wansheng, who was incessantly and noisily arguing with a woman in the streets, while as the younger sister, Ye Qingzi ignored it.

She had a pair of enchanting beautiful legs, this was Chu Mu’s first impression of her, and even now Chu Mu still cannot let go of her tempting and sexy long legs.

From this city onwards, Chu Mu’s cultivation was no longer alone.

When injured, she would treat him. When lonely, she would talk with him. The subsequent events gradually made Chu Mu realize that he simply could not be without her.

When utterly exhausted, Chu Mu didn’t want to do anything but hold her, smell her familiar scent, and then deeply sleep.

At this moment, Chu Mu just wanted to hold her. After walking out of Yin Valley, Chu Mu appeared especially weary, feeling his beliefs fading away along with that shadow swallowed by Yin Valley.

Sometimes Chu Mu was like a child, needing his woman’s gentle comfort, soft embrace, only by holding her could he sleep peacefully.

This, perhaps, was a testament to Chu Mu deeply loving her.

…

This time, Chu Mu finally smiled.

Because, by the city gate, a curvaceous, shapely woman stood alone, quietly waiting for someone.

A gentle breeze passed, messing up her waiting long hair, her exquisite face framed by the disordered hair, making her beauty so mesmerizing it made one forget to think…(to be continued.
