Chapter 1595: Chapter 1455: Is Ye Qingzi Hidden Away?

“Chu Mu, what’s wrong?”

Princess Jinrou floated out from Chu Mu’s ring and, seeing Chu Mu standing motionless under the palace, hurriedly asked.

Chu Mu came back to his senses slightly and looked at the beautiful and enchanting Princess Jinrou beside him.

Princess Jinrou’s figure was curvy and delicate. When she floated gently beside him, she was like a mermaid swimming around him, making it easy to forget some troubling matters.

The confusion from a moment ago gradually faded from his eyes. At least now Chu Mu felt he had a lot, no longer as lonely as before.

So many people cared about him, so many people supported him…

“He won’t be in trouble,” Princess Jinrou reassured Chu Mu softly after seeing what he was thinking.

“I hope so,” Chu Mu gathered his emotions and began walking up the stairs.

“It’s not just hope. His Abnormal-Maned Monster is so powerful; surely, it won’t be trapped in Yin Valley. He must have found another exit,” Princess Jinrou said seriously.

“Yeah, I believe so too,” Chu Mu nodded.

“Then don’t wear such a miserable expression. Your wedding is coming up; if you keep looking like this, you’ll scare the bride away,” Princess Jinrou’s eyes curved into crescents, and her long eyelashes also formed a beautiful arc.

The more Chu Mu interacted with her, the more he wanted to touch her. But Princess Jinrou was like a special goddess in Chu Mu’s heart, unreachable, someone he could only admire from afar.

Now, she was willing to stay by his side, yet untouchable, which made Chu Mu even more eager to find a way to revive her.

“Won’t you be upset?” Chu Mu asked as he walked up the stairs.

“Feigning ignorance?” Princess Jinrou immediately put on a stern face, pretending to be very angry.

But after a while, she spoke melancholically, “Actually, I always feel quite guilty.”

“Guilty?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.

“Yeah, Ye Qingzi is very good,” Princess Jinrou said softly, “You must have experienced the feeling of death too.”

“I suppose,” Chu Mu nodded. His time as a transformed demon wasn’t much different from being dead.

“I was lying in darkness, able to hear the sounds around me, but unable to speak. I could think, but my thoughts were chaotic. It felt like being locked in a dark ice cave, long and frightening. Whenever I got scared, I would hold Ice Crystal and stroke its fur, and it would make sounds to comfort me…” Princess Jinrou continued.

Chu Mu knew that Ice Crystal was Princess Jinrou’s Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon, a Soul Pet that had traded its life for its master’s…

It was clear that the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon was Princess Jinrou’s favorite Soul Pet, just as Mo Ye was to him, almost inseparable.

He understood the sorrow of losing what felt like family.

“When I woke up through the Magic Spirit, the first thing I saw was Ye Qingzi holding a Little Ice Fox. Though it wasn’t Ice Crystal, I felt the same aura from them. Honestly, I’m grateful to her. I’m thankful for the gift she gave me upon awakening. Without this Little Ice Fox from the Heavenly Mountains, I wouldn’t have dared to accept my ghostly appearance,” said Princess Jinrou.

It was a Heavenly Immortal Ice Curse Seal Demon Fox. Chu Mu had not noticed this detail himself, while Ye Qingzi, from his mere description, remembered and gifted it to Princess Jinrou…

She was a meticulous woman. When Chu Mu first interacted with her, she had easily uncovered his identity and intentions.

Intellectual and elegant, she wasn’t fond of speaking much but always expressed her intentions through actions.

Chu Mu felt fortunate to have met her and that she didn’t leave him because of the matters with Princess Jinrou.

“She indeed would be the best wife for you. Although it feels odd inside, I still wish you a happy marriage,” Princess Jinrou smiled once more, a smile pure and simple, for she spoke her heart.

“Thank you.” Chu Mu knew this was his excessive greed, even unfaithful to love.

Fortunately, he had met two women willing to accommodate and tolerate him.

…

“The King is back, King Chu is back!!”

On the staircase, Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong spotted Chu Mu from afar and hurriedly ran down.

Behind Zhuo Nong followed several dozen Holy Guards dressed in silver armor, all of whom astonishingly possessed Dominator Level strength, to Chu Mu’s surprise.

Palace Holy Guards generally had a thousand-person system with fairly average strength. These Holy Guards with Dominator Level powers in ordinary armor indicated that the palace now had a Dominator army of a thousand!

He hadn’t been gone for less than two years, and New Moon Land had cultivated so many experts – a truly heartening development.

One should know that in the past, there were only a few individuals capable of reaching the Dominator Level in New Moon Land. With that level of strength overseeing matters, there was basically no need to worry about disasters from the Forbidden Domain striking.

“Uncle Zhuo.” Chu Mu greeted Zhuo Nong with a smile.

The group of Silver Holy Guards behind Zhuo Nong must be his new batch of disciples. They all appeared youthful, and upon seeing Chu Mu, each one of them straightened up with energy and diligently saluted him.

“Everyone, please rise,” Chu Mu told them.

As the Holy Guards stood up, Chu Mu noticed that each had a chest badge fashioned from purple cluster flowers pinned over their hearts. This touch softened the imposing fierceness of their silver armor, offering a thoughtful and unique look.

“King Chu’s grand wedding – all of us Holy Guards are wearing flower badges to express our blessings to King Chu,” Zhuo Nong explained with a smile.

Chu Mu walked into the palace, proceeding along the slippery, mirror-like antechamber corridor, he noticed that whether they were Holy Guards, members, servant girls, leaders, Palace Masters, Elders – everyone had the chest badge of purple cluster flowers. Soul Hall bustled with thousands of people coming and going, and Chu Mu didn’t see a single person without a badge.

Soul Hall rarely mandated members to do anything by force; the fact that they were wearing these badges likely meant that, like most city inhabitants, they had sought out these special bouquets voluntarily to wear.

Truth be told, Chu Mu hadn’t much involvement in the administration of New Moon Land. Immersed in cultivation, he never truly considered himself to be a ruler seated high above all of New Moon Land.

Seeing the palace, the city, and the passersby all donning the purple cluster flowers’ blessings, Chu Mu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

To marry the woman he loved and receive the blessings of the entire nation, what more could he ask for?

“The King also needs to prepare. Let’s not crowd around here. Just because King Chu is approachable and doesn’t put on airs, don’t think you can wander around in front of him. Go about what you are supposed to do!” Zhuo Nong scolded the group of young Holy Guards who had been following Chu Mu.

There were a bunch of questions from the Holy Guards, but Chu Mu really couldn’t answer them one by one.

Reaching the central hall, Chu Mu gradually saw some familiar faces. Like everyone else, they were all wearing the flower badges of blessings…

Usually, when Chu Mu returned to the palace, he would casually greet these people. He didn’t know when it started, but these somewhat familiar people no longer called him by his name, but rather “King Chu,” constantly.

Others calling him that was one thing, but Teng Lang, who trailed behind him, just kept shouting it, which made Chu Mu quite uncomfortable.

“Isn’t this a sign of respect? By the way, tell me about any fun things happening in Struggle Capital after you go,” Teng Lang said.

“That would be a long story, and I don’t have the time for you right now,” Chu Mu was very familiar with Teng Lang and couldn’t be bothered to be pretentious with him, so he sent him away immediately.

After passing through the central hall, Chu Mu encountered Princess Wan Ning outside the Holy Book Pavilion, and then at the bridged corridor leading to the inner palace, he met Shang Heng and Ting Lan, who he had first gotten to know in World City. Next, he saw his Big Uncle Chu Tianheng and several other Chu family disciples who had specially traveled a long distance to congratulate him.

As he walked and stopped along the way, evening crept up without his noticing. By the time he reached his own courtyard in the inner palace, Chu Mu found that his residence had undergone special trimming and decorations, transforming it to resemble an indoor garden built from petals – so beautiful that one would be reluctant to set foot in it.

The servant girls were still bustling about, decorating the courtyard to make it exquisite.

Several married women walked to and fro, arranging the whole wedding ceremony process, which needed to be prepared in advance. From their serious attitude, it seemed almost derelict if the King and Queen took an extra step out of place.

When Chu Mu walked into the courtyard, he heard a familiar laughter.

The laughter was as melodious as the sound of silver bells, carrying a special Magic Power that involuntarily made one forget all worries.

“Ah? Brother is back!!” the owner of the laughter noticed Chu Mu, and her smile immediately bloomed even more brightly.

Delicate and charming, this fragrant and soft body unexpectedly bumped into his embrace, so coquettish that it filled one’s heart with tenderness.

“Not seeing you for a year, you’ve grown even prettier,” Chu Mu affectionately pinched her tender cheek. Ning Man’er was truly a great beauty now, inadvertently stirring one’s heart.

“Really?” Ning Man’er rarely heard Chu Mu praise her, so she felt extremely joyful inside.

“Fake – you’re still a little maid,” Chu Mu saw her smug look and deliberately threw a splash of Cold water.

“Don’t call me little maid; I’m already 20 years old,” Ning Man’er said, pouting.

“Where’s your sister? Is she in the room?” Chu Mu asked.

“She’s not.”

“Then where is she?”

“Aunt Liu said I can’t tell you,” Ning Man’er said.

“Why?” Chu Mu was completely puzzled. How could it be that his own wedding had come to hiding Ye Qingzi?

“Aunt Liu said, before the wedding, you have to find sister yourself. Only if you find her can she marry you,” Ning Man’er earnestly explained.

“Is there such a rule? I wasn’t even aware,” Chu Mu indeed really wanted to see Ye Qingzi. Whenever he felt down, she was always there to make him feel fulfilled.

“Silly, it’s a little romance before the wedding. It depends on whether Brother can find Sister. If you can’t find her, the wedding will be canceled!” Ning Man’er laughed, appearing both like a little angel and a little demon. (.)
