Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 44 The Emperor's Dragon-Patterned Jade Pendant

Mu Yuanzhan couldn't quite describe his feelings. After hearing the secrets the Emperor revealed at the Prime Minister's residence, he felt disappointed in Chen Qingyan. Chen Qingyan's recent behavior gave him the illusion that she had admired him since childhood. However, Mu Yuanzhan knew in his heart that Chen Qingyan had never liked him before. Like other women in the capital, she was afraid of him. But Mu Yuanzhan was ultimately deceiving himself because he hoped that someone would truly not mind his appearance and would grow old with him.

He eventually detached himself from this illusion, coldly observing Chen Qingyan's gradual despair.

He let Chen Qingyan go, but he couldn't stand by and watch her cheat on him. He was, after all, a man, and no man could bear such humiliation.

Mu Yuanzhan eventually followed Chen Qingyan into the martial world, unaware that on the very day he left, a carriage slowly followed behind him.

Mu Yuanzhan was, after all, a great general in the imperial court, who had made great contributions in the past. Although the country was peaceful and prosperous at present, the situation abroad was chaotic and foreign enemies might invade at any time. Du Huai'an would not stand by and watch Mu Yuanzhan, a talented general, get caught up in his personal feelings and have no time to care about anything else.

Inside the carriage, Yu Liu was acting somewhat strangely today.

Du Huai'an felt the little figure in his chest pocket was constantly moving back and forth, looking quite agitated.

"Baby, what's wrong with you today?"

Seeing that Yu Liu couldn't stop moving, Du Huai'an worriedly took her out of his pocket. The usually cheerful girl had a rare stern face today, with obvious annoyance on her face.

Yu Liu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I don't know, I just feel very flustered, like something big is about to happen."

Hearing Yu Liu say this, Du Huai'an frowned. Baby's true form is a fairy, so she naturally has special abilities. Could this be a premonition? But he had made thorough preparations for this trip. What big event might happen?

Mu Yuanzhan traveled non-stop, following the information he had received, and tracked the Demonic Sect all the way.

It seems that wherever there is a martial arts world, there must be a demonic sect that opposes the leader of the martial arts alliance. As the target of all martial arts practitioners, the demonic sect naturally built its power base in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Mu Yuanzhan was alone, which made it easier for him to fight his way up the mountain than for those who came in large numbers to besiege the demonic sect. With only a horse and a gun, and with a heart full of anger, Mu Yuanzhan forced his way forward for most of the journey before finally being subdued by the demonic sect masters who rushed to the scene.

"What kind of general are you?"

Before Mu Yuanzhan could even get a clear picture of the situation after being taken to the council hall of the Demonic Sect, he heard a strange, off-key question.

This accent...

Mu Yuanzhan looked up and saw two rows of members of the Demonic Sect dressed in various styles standing on either side of the main hall. Directly in front of him was a high platform with a chair as large as a bed on it. Sitting on the chair was a man whose hair was like a tangled mess of straw, curling and twisting on his head. What was most striking was the color of his hair—a brilliant gold. The man had unusually deep-set eyes, a high nose, and pupils that were one yellow and one blue. His robust and muscular body made him stand out from everyone else present!

"Westerners!!"

Mu Yuanzhan exclaimed in shock, unable to believe his eyes. Although many people in the martial arts world weren't under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, the court was generally well-informed about what happened there. Mu Yuanzhan knew a great deal about the martial arts world, but he had never imagined that the leader of the Demonic Sect was a Westerner! How could this be? Mu Yuanzhan had seen Westerners before; they would cross oceans to come here, exchange for goods needed by their countries, and then leave. He had never seen a single Westerner stay, let alone become the leader of the Demonic Sect! Had all the members of the Demonic Sect gone mad? To actually appoint a Westerner as their leader?

What Mu Yuanzhan found even more unbelievable was that his younger sister, Chen Qingyan, who was as pure as a white flower in his heart even if she didn't love him, was kneeling on the ground, her head pressed tightly against the Westerner's leg, rubbing against him incessantly. The Westerner was also stroking her hair casually, as if he were pampering a pet.

"Chen Qingyan, you..."

Mu Yuanzhan's voice trembled as he looked at Chen Qingyan with a look of disappointment and frustration, but in the end, he couldn't say anything more.

"I'm asking you a question!!"

The Westerner greatly admired Mu Yuanzhan's expression. After seeing Mu Yuanzhan's dejected look, he slammed his hand on the table and uttered some awkward words.

Mu Yuanzhan couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all, so he simply turned his head away, looking like he would rather die than submit.

The Westerner opened his mouth, as if about to lash out again, but then, as if suddenly noticing something, his gaze turned into the distance. He slightly tilted his head, and one of the cult members beside him immediately understood.

The sudden capture of Mu Yuanzhan caught Du Huai'an off guard. Mu Yuanzhan was highly skilled in martial arts, and these people should not have been his match, yet he was captured. Just as Du Huai'an sensed something was wrong and wanted to leave, he found that he could not escape.

They had been following Mu Yuanzhan at a distance. Although they had approached the mountain where the Demonic Sect was located, they had not yet gone up the mountain. Under normal circumstances, they should have been able to leave easily. However, the entire carriage was now surrounded by people, who were pointing their sharp knives at the carriage. As soon as the people inside the carriage made any unusual movements, they would surround them.

Even the most skilled martial artist would inevitably get injured if they rushed out in this situation. Du Huai'an dared not act rashly. He himself would be fine if he got hurt, but the baby couldn't be harmed!

Du Huai'an ultimately chose to comply, and the group surrounding them tied up everyone in the carriage and took them up the mountain.

Yu Liu carefully hid the item in her pocket. The higher she climbed, the stronger her unease grew, as if a predatory beast lurked in the mountains, watching her intently.

Her fingers nervously poked Du Huai'an. Knowing his baby well, Du Huai'an's heart sank. This demonic sect was definitely strange! He shouldn't have come here personally.

Du Huai'an and the others were also brought to the main hall. Mu Yuanzhan was very surprised to see Du Huai'an. He wanted to say something, but then realized that he could not reveal the emperor's identity. He moved his lips, but in the end he lowered his head and said nothing.

At the head of the main hall, Chen Qingyan saw Du Huai'an being brought in. She stood up and whispered a few words in the ear of the Westerner, who immediately burst into laughter.
