"This... How can this be... What kind of miracle elixir is that?!"
Li Youran and the Golden-Winged Roc watched in horror as Yu Shenfeng, on the brink of death, was suddenly revived by the elixir and spiritual medicine fed to him by Mu Jinyu.
At that moment, after exchanging a few words with Mu Jinyu, Yu Shenfeng abruptly turned to them, causing their hearts to skip a beat.
"Now, let's settle the score between us." Yu Shenfeng coldly swept his gaze over Li Youran and the Golden-Winged Roc, speaking with a sinister smile.
Earlier, in his triumph, Li Youran had clearly told him that it was he who betrayed him half a year ago. How could Yu Shenfeng possibly let him off now?
Yu Shenfeng felt grateful to Mu Jinyu, who not only saved him, preventing a resentful death, but also gave him the chance to personally take revenge against his enemies!
"No... I... I was just joking with you, you... don't come over here!!"
Seeing Yu Shenfeng stride towards him, Li Youran's eyes revealed a look of fear, as he stammered.
Even if he were to lose his life in someone else's hands, Li Youran wouldn't be so distraught, but Yu Shenfeng was the King of Assassins, skilled in all manners of killing and torture. Li Youran knew all too well that his fate would be dreadful if he ended up in Yu Shenfeng's hands!
Yu Shenfeng walked up to Li Youran, grabbed him and the Golden-Winged Roc by the neck like they were ducks, and then turned to Qiu Bai, Chen Xiuying, San Liu, and Nameless, saying: "Come, today I'll teach you how to skin a person alive!"
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Even Chen Xiuying, who was the least fond of slaughter among the four, now had bloodthirsty intent in her eyes upon hearing her master's words, glaring at Li Youran with deep hatred.
Yu Shenfeng then led his four disciples, carrying Li Youran and the Golden-Winged Roc, away from Yinlong Mountain.
They clearly couldn't deal with Li Youran in front of others; the scene would be too bloody and cruel, scaring Su Zijin and the others.
Moreover, with Mu Jinyu back, the family was reuniting after a long separation, and Yu Shenfeng and his disciples didn't want to disturb them.
Once Yu Shenfeng and his group left, Mu Jinyu turned to look at Gu Xiyan, Su Zijin, and the others, his eyes showing excitement and remorse.
"I'm back..."
After enduring countless hardships to return, seeing his mother and several wives again left Mu Jinyu feeling overwhelmed. He had countless things he wanted to say to them, but when he tried to speak, he didn't know where to start, so he only managed to say those four words.
"Pfft!"
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, her pretty face showing teasing expression as she said: "We aren't blind, of course, we know you're back. Did you even need to say it?"
"Haha..."
Su Zijin, Mei Yinxue, and the others all laughed, and Wen Rou smiled slightly, lips pursed.
Mu Jinyu scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward, and then said: "Are you all okay?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Gu Xiyan and the others to reply, he spread his divine sense to scan the women's bodies, his face changing slightly as it darkened.
In his inspection, whether it was Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, or Xu Qingya, their bodies were all like Yu Shenfeng's, carrying significant internal injuries, likely from various battles and skirmishes over the past year.
"I'm sorry, I let you suffer..."
The apology in Mu Jinyu's eyes deepened as he opened his arms to hug each woman.
During the embrace, Mu Jinyu used Life Source Energy to heal their internal injuries, nourishing their bodies before letting go.
The women who had hugged Mu Jinyu felt refreshed and understood that he was helping them heal their bodies, making them feel warm inside.
"Mom... I'm sorry... It was unfilial of me to let you suffer..."
Mu Jinyu hugged Su Zijin, helping to heal her internal injuries as well. Upon separating, he spoke apologetically.
Su Zijin had the weakest strength among the women and was the mother-in-law to all. Normally, the Dragon King Hall wouldn't let her fight, yet she still carried numerous internal injuries, indicating how difficult the circumstances must have been.
"It's all right, mom hasn't suffered, you're back now..."
Su Zijin's eyes were tender, carrying a look of relief as she laughed and said: "You should comfort Xiyan and the others more. They often said that if you hadn't returned after three years, they'd abandon the Dragon King Hall and go to Kunlun Ruins to find you..."
"Mom..."
Upon hearing Su Zijin's words, Gu Xiyan's pretty face blushed deeply, and she exclaimed bashfully.
"But you've returned after just a year, they probably won't be thinking such things anymore..." Su Zijin chuckled.
"I'm sorry..." Mu Jinyu turned to Gu Xiyan, unsure of what to say, so he just kept apologizing.
Gu Xiyan felt Mu Jinyu's intense gaze on her, her face growing redder and her heart racing faster. Afraid Su Zijin would tease her again, she quickly averted her gaze, not meeting Mu Jinyu's eyes directly. She looked towards Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan and asked: "Hey, how's your situation now, Ruyan and Wen Rou?"
Upon Gu Xiyan's inquiry, everyone's focus shifted from Mu Jinyu to Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou.
They all knew Mu Jinyu had expedited his entry into Kunlun Ruins to resolve Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan's predicament of soul exchanging bodies.
Originally, Mu Jinyu mentioned it would take about three years, but only a year later, they returned to the Dragon King Hall.
Is the matter solved perfectly?
The women were uncertain, feeling a bit anxious, fearing Mu Jinyu had only returned to visit and would leave again...
Seeing everyone looking at her, Wen Rou's face reddened slightly as she shyly said: "It's all resolved now, thank you all for your concern, Sister Ruyan and my problem is sorted..."
"Really?"
Upon hearing Wen Rou's words, some couldn't help but cheer, congratulating her, while others were skeptical, wondering if the two might be joking.
However, considering Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan didn't seem like the mischievous type, they quickly confirmed Wen Rou wasn't lying.
So, Mu Jinyu wouldn't be returning to Kunlun Ruins again?
Thinking so, smiles spread across everyone's faces.
"Hey, Wen Rou, is your cultivation... also at the Fanxu Realm?"
Lin Qiaoxia noticed Wen Rou's aura differed from theirs, resembling Li Youran and Yu Shenfeng's. She wasn't sure but couldn't help asking.
Upon Lin Qiaoxia's words, everyone started paying attention to Wen Rou's cultivation.
Among the women, Gu Xiyan had the highest cultivation, reaching the eighth layer of the Divine Transformation Realm from the second. All her focus had been on Mu Jinyu earlier, but now she too noticed the anomaly in Wen Rou.
"Oh, indeed similar to Senior Yu's aura, Wen Rou, did you really break through to the Fanxu Realm? Wasn't it said that after soul seizing, cultivation was nearly impossible?" Gu Xiyan inquired curiously.
