Chapter 551 – The Mu Family is Doomed to Tragedy

The day before the opening of the Holy Palace’s main body, Qin Yu saw Hai Lanlan. Perhaps because she had finally left the Endless Sea, the ice around her heart seemed to have melted a little. The normally faint indifference in her eyes had faded away slightly, and there was a trace of warmth.

This was something Qin Yu was glad to see. He smiled and asked, “What, you’re not used to this place yet?”

Hai Lanlan shook her head and respectfully bowed. “Everything is good. The reason I came to see the Commander today was to apologize for my initial childish ignorance. I hope that the Commander can forgive me.”

She deeply bowed as she spoke. Her long skirt outlined her slender waist in a beautiful arc.

Qin Yu’s mind was fl.u.s.tered for a brief moment. “That is something that has long since passed. In any case, not to mention that you and I rushed through the road of Sea Burial together. That is already a shared life and death experience. There’s no need to ever mention these things again in the future.”

He flicked his sleeves and a gentle force pushed out. Hai Lanlan didn’t resist and she was helped up from the ground. She didn’t know why, but there was a slight blush on her face. She lifted a hand and wiped away a strand of hair, whispering, “Since it’s like that, then starting from today, I hope that we can start anew.”

There was something inexplicable in her heart. But, the heart of a woman was a thousand feet deep; how could it be so easily touched? Qin Yu simply smiled and nodded, acknowledging her words.

Hai Lanlan was in an excellent mood. She spoke several more words and then left. But just as she took several steps out, she suddenly turned and said, “Lord Commander?”

“Mm?”

“Do you like the skirt I wore today?”

After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yu revealed an awkward expression. Could it be that she had noticed his lingering gaze just now? Before he could figure out how to answer, Hai Lanlan blushed and hastily walked away.

Qin Yu let out a breath of relief. He furrowed his eyebrows before immediately breaking out into laughter. Had he been played by her? But then he felt that this wasn’t too appropriate. The opening of the Holy Palace’s main body was tomorrow and he shouldn’t be wasting his time on this. Without further thought, he returned to his quiet room and continued to meditate.

If he wanted to reach the Saint level Demon Body and succeed the throne of the Holy Monarch, that goal was still a long time away. But if he could obtain the status of Hoy Son then he would be able to wield a part of the Holy Monarch’s authority ahead of time.

This partial authority would not only be able to protect him, but it would be greatly helpful to the Holy Nether Guard.

His successful passage through the road of Sea Burial had caused a titanic commotion, attracting the attention of the entire Demonic Path. But, the only one who had the chance to appreciate this change was Hai Lanlan.

This girl might not have said any additional words to him, but people lived in this world by relying on each other. The Holy Nether Guard had given him a great deal of time, so he kept in mind that he would need to return the favor eventually.

With the status of Holy Son, perhaps he might not be able to free the entire Holy Nether Guard from their captivity in the Endless Sea. But at the very least he should be able to bring some people out and even send in a sufficient amount of hyacinth grass to them.

Qin Yu felt that the opening of the Holy Palace’s main body tomorrow was incredibly important, but he didn’t worry about it too much. Maybe the Mu Family had made many preparations like the Demon Envoy said, but so what?

He had completed the transformation of the Emperor level Demon Body and was just a step away from the Saint level. When it came to attracting the Holy Palace, who could cause a greater attraction than him? The Mu Family was doomed to suffer tragedy.

…

In the dark night, within the Mu Family Residence, in an underground training room.

Mu Mo opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his pupils like lightning tearing through the night sky. Loud crackling sounds spread out from his bones. As he felt the formidable strength pulsating within his flesh and blood, he smiled.

He was someone who had a calm yet tenacious personality. Ever since he was a child, he had been highly valued by the family because of his Demon Body talent. But, he never became overly arrogant or complacent with himself because of it. Rather, he placed even more effort in cultivating. This was because Mu Mo knew that his background in the family wasn’t anything special or honorable. If it weren’t for his Demon Body talent, he would never have obtained so many resources and such vigorous assistance.

Because of him, his parents and close relatives had an extremely high position in the family. But, what if he lost his worth? He feared that within a single day, his entire family would be struck down to where they were at the start, and would likely suffer an even worse and more pathetic fate.

No matter what aspect
