Chapter 769: The Beauty Spilled Her Feelings, Shocking Change at Night!
With a wave of her hand, she closed the door gently and said, “Please take a seat, Young Master s.h.i.+!”
The big mahogany table before her was currently filled with fine wine and delicacies. The decorations around it were the style of a wedding room.
Ye Chen walked over and sat across her. He said with a strange expression, “May I know why Ms. Mu wants me here so late at night?”
The current Mu Caiwei was truly abnormal. She was no longer as cold as before. Coupled with the fact that a man and a woman were in the same room, he could smell the delicate fragrance of virgins in the room, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Drink with me!”
Mu Caiwei lowered her head slightly. She picked up a pot of wine and poured it into the two cups that she had prepared earlier. Subsequently, she picked up one of the cups. She looked at Ye Chen in shock with her beautiful eyes, “I’ll toast you with the first cup!
“Thank you for taking back the management rights of the Spirit Fog Island for my King Mu Fort and fulfilling the long-cherished wish of my father and me!”
She raised her head slightly and finished the wine in her gla.s.s, revealing her delicate neck and collarbone.
Ye Chen was unmoved as he looked at her quietly.
As the cup of wine flowed down her belly, Mu Caiwei’s face under the candlelight became even redder, as if it had been burned by a fire.
When she saw that Ye Chen remained still, her delicate body stiffened slightly. She sighed softly in the quiet room, “My mother pa.s.sed away after giving birth to my brother. You can say that it was father who raised us.
“As the current fort master, I was entrusted by my ancestors and swore to protect the foundation of the fort. However, the King was heartless and tried to suppress the old n.o.ble families. In addition, the surrounding forces were all eyeing the fort.”
She gently bit her red lips, and a faint mist gathered in her slightly strong beautiful eyes. Her cold voice carried a hint of weakness.
“My brother was paralyzed and could only lie in bed, so most of the time, I wished I could be a man and share the burden with my father. Unfortunately, I’m a woman, and I had a beautiful face that’s coveted by many.”
She touched her face lightly and said with a self-deprecating smile, “Sometimes, I wish I could destroy it with a pair of scissors. From an outsider’s perspective, it might be the best gift from heaven, but for me and the entire King Mu Fort, it’s the root of my sins.”
Ye Chen’s expression remained the same when he heard that. He had witnessed Mu Xuanzhen, Situ Yu, and the rest being charmed by Mu Caiwei’s beauty.
“Young Master s.h.i.+!”
Mu Caiwei looked at Ye Chen in a daze with complicated emotions in her eyes, “That’s why I chose you to marry me. I don’t like you. I only want to protect King Mu Fort through our union. Therefore, I didn’t show on our wedding night. Instead, I sent Jiu’er to test you!
“I didn’t expect that you would really be like father had guessed. You don’t care about women at all. You’re someone who is dedicated to the dao!”
At this point, she could no longer hold back her tears, “I’m sorry that I used you, and my King Mu Fort used you as well. However, you still disregarded the past and helped King Mu Fort obtain the Spirit Fog Island!”
“Our King Mu Fort will never be able to repay your kindness!”
Biting her lower lip with her teeth, a determined expression flashed across her pretty face. After which, her jade-like hands gently tightened around her waist. In the next moment, all of her dress slipped off her body.
The sudden turn of events stunned Ye Chen. He held his gaze and avoided looking at Mu Caiwei. He turned his head away and said, “Ms. Mu, your gift is too much. I can’t accept it!”
Mu Caiwei smiled bitterly. As her eyelashes fluttered, a line of clear tears streaked across her delicate face and rolled down.
“I’ve thought about it. There’s nothing I can do to repay you. The most precious thing is perhaps my body!
“Moreover, even though we are only faking our marriage, we’ve paid our respects to heaven and earth. Since we’re husband and wife, I, as your wife, should be responsible!”
There was a hint of stubbornness in her voice!
She, Mu Caiwei, had known since a young age that debts of money were easily repaid, and favors were the hardest to repay, let alone a favor that involved the Spirit Fog Island.
She did not want to owe Ye Chen!
Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said, “If you’re using your body to repay me now, you might as well have agreed to marry Situ Yu earlier to get back the Spirit Fog Island. What’s the difference between the two?
“Furthermore, I have never asked for any repayment from you. The reason why I took action is not only because of you, it’s because the thing I want is above the Spirit Fog Island. Compared to the City Governor’s Mansion, I naturally trust your King Mu Fort!”
Upon hearing that, Mu Caiwei’s eyes, which were covered in mist, widened. She did not expect Ye Chen to reject her when she was so proactive.
“Put on your clothes!”
Ye Chen waved and covered her with all the clothes on the ground. He said, “The King Mu Fort doesn’t owe me anything, and neither do I owe you anything. I’ll leave after I get what belongs to me!”
‘Leave?’
When Mu Caiwei heard that, her face turned pale. She had no idea why, but she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
Her lips moved slightly, not knowing what to say.
Shouts and screams suddenly rang out from outside!
At the next moment, there was a knock on the closed door, “Young mistress, bad news, bad news. The City Governor’s Mansion has surrounded the King Mu Fort. They’ve gotten in…”
It was Jiu’er’s voice.
“What?”
Mu Caiwei was shocked. After she tidied up her clothes, she quickly walked to the door and pushed it open, “How did this happen? Isn’t there a formation protecting the King Mu Fort? How did they get in?”
“It’s the Grand Elder!”
Jiu’er took a deep breath in and stuttered, “It was the Grand Elder who deactivated the formation and let the people from the City Governor’s Mansion in!”
“That traitor!”
Mu Caiwei’s expression changed when she heard that, and her cold brows stood on end as she was about to walk out, “Where’s my father? We have to get rid of them today!”
“Weh…” Jiu’er burst into tears, “Young mistress, the fort master is being captured. This time, not only did the City Governor’s Mansion take action, even the Seven Mysteries Mansion, Blood Blade Sect, and Vile Valley took action!
“Young Master Xuanzhen is leading his men over here. He threatened to kill young master. The fort master told me to inform you and young master to run!”
At the same time, dozens of guards who had rushed over after hearing the news immediately knelt on one knee and said with incomparable sorrow, “That’s right, young mistress. We are under the orders of the fort master. We will risk our lives to protect you and leave safely. As long as you don’t die, there’s still hope for our King Mu Fort!”
Boom!
Mu Caiwei’s body trembled violently, and she almost lost her balance. She spat a mouthful of blood, “Traitor, these two traitors will die a horrible death!”
The King Mu Fort’s strength was ranked third amongst the five great forces of the entire Tianfeng sea area. Above them were the Seven Mysteries Mansion and the City Governor’s Mansion!
Now that the four great forces had all attacked the King Mu Fort, coupled with the Grand Elder who was a traitor, she knew that the King Mu Fort was really doomed!
She glanced at Ye Chen immediately as she thought to this point, “Jiu’er, take the young master through the secret pa.s.sage. The secret pa.s.sage leads to a dark river outside the city. We’ll be safe there!”
Jiu’er wiped her tears, “Young mistress, what about you?”
“No one in the King Mu Fort is afraid of death!”
At this moment, Mu Caiwei’s beautiful eyes were filled with the determination to die. Her voice was bone-chilling as she said, “I, Mu Caiwei, was born in the King Mu Fort, and I will die in the King Mu Fort!”
At the next moment, an extremely cold voice sounded from afar, “What a touching scene. Unfortunately, I’ve already destroyed the secret pa.s.sage. None of you will be able to escape today!”
