The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Hearing the assurances from Jiu You and the other person inside his Qi Sea, Lin Suzhou could only reluctantly believe them.

We can't exactly block Jiuyou's perception of the outside world, can we? It would be painful if the intimacy level didn't increase.

Mu Feng poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it all. His eyes filled with longing for the past, and he began to recount his story.

"When I was young, I often hunted spirit beasts in the Northern Spirit Plains and sold their essences to supplement my family's income."

Until that ordinary afternoon... I encountered a woman lying on the ground, severely injured.

As Mu Feng spoke, his expression softened: "I could sense her power; she was a woman with a mysterious background. But at that time, she was seriously injured and couldn't even handle ordinary spirit beasts."

That day, I went with your Uncle Tangshan and we made a stretcher to carry her back to my home. After that, I took care of her wholeheartedly until her injuries gradually improved.

Gradually, I developed feelings for her. To be honest, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met, and I still think so now.

"You later married her and had me?"

Mu Chen widened his eyes slightly, puzzled.

"Hehe, that's not true."

Mu Feng shook his head self-deprecatingly, took another sip of wine, and slowly said, "She escaped because she was forced into marriage by the clan elders. Such a proud and privileged woman is not someone that weak and ordinary people like us can even come into contact with..."

Later, to repay Tangshan and me for saving her life, she helped us both break through to the Divine Soul Realm and even helped me find a spirit beast from the Earth Ranking.

A while later I met your mother, and she gave birth to you and your sister.

Back then, I wanted to achieve great things, so she helped me and your Uncle Tang establish the Mu Domain and the Tang Domain.

After she returned to her clan, in order to prevent Liu Yu from unifying the Northern Spirit Realm, I made a decision to help your mother establish her own domain.

In this way, your Uncle Tang and I will openly confront Liu Yu, while your mother will secretly help us.

Just then, Liu Qingtian's father, Liu Jingtian, was on the verge of touching the Fusion Realm, so I lied to the outside world and said that the woman was your mother, and that she had only returned to the clan for a while. Because of this, Liu Yu was wary and did not take action against us at that time...

Later, during this period, our three domains grew stronger and larger, until the Willow Domain dared not attack us...

"Then why didn't you bring Mother back when our pastoral region grew stronger and no longer needed to rely on that woman?"

Mu Chen's words silenced Mu Feng.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Because there has been no news from Liu Jingtian of Liuyu, I was afraid that he would launch an attack on us one day after breaking through to the Fusion Realm, so this lie has been maintained until now..."

"In my opinion, it's because you still have feelings for that woman!"

When Mu Chen finished speaking, his face was filled with anger!

For over ten years, he had been kept in the dark for a full decade!

Do you know how he's managed all these years?!

He was called a bastard without a mother since he was a child. Because of this, he worked hard to cultivate, just to have a powerful cultivation level so that they would shut them up!

"Hehe, that's true... It's all Dad's fault, he still has feelings for her..."

"The scroll you took yesterday was her clan's cultivation technique. I didn't expect you to fail at it, but instead learned about it because of it."

Mu Feng felt his sore spot had been hit by Mu Chen, so he tilted his head back and took another sip of wine, a look of shame on his face.

"Then where is my mother? Who is she? And where is she now?!"

Mu Chen suddenly stood up and questioned him loudly.

"Your mother is none other than Hong Ling, the current lord of the Crimson Domain!"

After Mu Feng finished speaking, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

"It was her!?"

Mu Chen smiled wryly after hearing this. No wonder he could become childhood playmates with Hong Ling, the daughter of the Red Domain Lord, even though Mu Domain and Red Domain were so far apart.

It turns out she was his own sister!

"Holy crap."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Suzhou felt like he was on a rollercoaster, his emotions going up and down.

"What a philandering man! He's been deceiving his own son for so long!"

Inside the Qi Sea, Jiu You began to attack Mu Feng.

"Yes, this boy is so pitiful."

The little mare also felt sorry for Mu Chen.

After Lin Suzhou calmed down, the doubts that had puzzled him for so many years were all resolved one by one.

No wonder Mu Feng, who was at the Divine Soul Realm, was able to have Mu Chen with Qing Yanjing, who was at the Heavenly Supreme Realm;

No wonder Qing Yanjing didn't continue living with Mu Feng when she saw him again later, but chose to live with Mu Chen instead;

No wonder that during the Nine Domains Tournament in the original novel, the Crimson Domain Lord, Hong Ling, cast a resentful glance at Mu Feng and warned her daughter, Hong Ling, to stay away from Mu Chen...

It turns out Mu Chen wasn't born to Qing Yanjing! (To prevent Mu Chen from having dual cultivation with Ling Xi, I had to write that he didn't have the Futu bloodline.)

pass!

Everything is working now!

Lin Suzhou also raised his glass and took a sip of wine to suppress the shock that lingered in his heart.

"Hehe, Dad, you've kept this from me for so long!"

Mu Chen gave a bitter smile, slammed the black scroll onto the stone table, and turned to leave.

"Xiao Chen, where are you going?"

Upon seeing this, Mu Feng stood up.

"I'm going to find my mother, my dear mother!"

Mu Chen left those words behind and quickly ran out of the Mu residence.

"Eh—"

Mu Feng could only sigh, then looked at Lin Suzhou and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, young friend, I've made you see my family's dirty laundry."

"Uncle Mu, every household has a copy of the Bodhisattva Sutra, and you had no choice but to resort to this tactic for Mu Chen's safety. It was a last resort."

Lin Suzhou raised his glass and comforted Mu Feng.

Bone-Melting Dragon!

But in his heart, he cursed him silently, thinking, "He's just a toad lusting after a swan. He should have just told Mu Chen earlier."

Even without relying on that ancient Futu clan, his son could still handle little Liu Jingtian, right?

After all, in the original story, Mu Chen didn't rely on any resources from the Ancient Buddha Clan at all; he only had the "Great Buddha Technique" left to him by Qing Yanjing.

All his desires stemmed from the desires within his heart.

But Lin Suzhou was just thinking about this when he suddenly froze.

It seems that what he's doing now is also because of his desires...

But then again... which loser doesn't have dreams?

He was just marveling at Mu Feng, unaware of just how amazing his son was.

It seems that everything was predetermined.

"Yes, it's rare to find someone who understands me."

Mu Feng looked as if he had met a kindred spirit, and drank another cup with Lin Suzhou.

Lin Suzhou, for the sake of the "Great Floating Pagoda Manual" on the table, suppressed his contempt for Mu Feng and continued drinking with him.

Only after Lin Suzhou had convinced Mu Feng and finished all the food and wine did he stand up, cup his fists to Mu Feng, and say, "Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Uncle Mu. I will keep this a secret and will not reveal a single word (that would be strange).

It's getting late. Mu Chen and I have become quite close on Linglu Road. I should go check on him; it wouldn't be good if he did something foolish in a moment of despair.

"Hmm, since it's our first meeting, Uncle Mu doesn't have much to give you, so how about I give you this..."

Mu Feng was deeply moved by this, but when he couldn't help but say that he wanted to give Lin Suzhou a gift, he couldn't find anything valuable.

He rummaged around, flipping through things left and right, until finally, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the dark scroll on the table.

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and simply picked it up and handed it to Lin Suzhou.

"How can I accept this? It was given to you by that person, how can I possibly accept it?"

Lin Suzhou feigned refusal.

"This technique is a thorn in my side right now; it's annoying to even look at. I might as well give it to you, young friend, as a gift from Uncle Mu."

Under Mu Feng's words, Lin Suzhou felt like a child being asked for a red envelope by an elder during Chinese New Year. He tried to refuse several times, but in the end, the money still went into his pocket.
