The crisis was finally over, and everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Their gazes toward Mu Ruyue were filled with admiration.

The look in the Sky Dragon’s eyes was complex. Who could have imagined that this time they would all owe this woman a favor? If it weren’t for her, it would have been hard for everyone to escape death.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily sighed, and his gaze gradually changed from initial disdain.

"Hehe."

Just when everyone was thinking about how to get in Mu Ruyue’s good graces, a light chuckle pulled their thoughts back.

Everyone turned to see Mei Yan walking toward Mu Ruyue with a smile. On her usually indifferent face was a rare trace of respect.

"Truly, the tiger mothers no undignified sons. Master Ruyue, this time I owe you and your son a favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. I will do my utmost to help. Sky Dragon, let’s go."

After saying this, Mei Yan took one last look at Mu Ruyue and then turned to walk down the mountain.

However, from beginning to end, Mu Ruyue didn’t say anything, as if she didn’t take Mei Yan’s words to heart.

If it were in the past, everyone might have mocked her a bit, but now that they knew the strength of this woman, how could they dare think such thoughts?

Moreover, beside her stood that man who seemed both like a demon and a god.

Only if they were tired of living would they dare provoke this mother and son pair...

"Cough cough, Master Ruyue, you truly are fortunate to have such an outstanding son."

A man in green clothes stepped forward from the group, speaking obsequiously.

Seeing him take the lead, others were naturally not willing to fall behind. After all, getting close to such an excellent Alchemy Master was something many dreamt of...

"Come on, Li Qing, what do you mean by that? Are you saying Master Ruyue is lacking in strength? Didn’t you see how even Master Tian Long had to submit to her Alchemy Technique? Even if the young master hadn’t appeared, with Master Ruyue’s strength, there wouldn’t have been any problem."

"Zhang Yi’s right, Li Qing, your words went too far. A young, powerful Alchemy Master like Master Ruyue probably has no equal even in hell."

Hearing the others’ words, Li Qing turned red in the face. He intended to be the first to curry favor with Mu Ruyue, but he misspoke and was caught...

Seeing everyone competing to be around the mother and son, the Golden Winged Flying Dragon cautiously retreated, hoping to slip away while the attention wasn’t on him...

But at this moment, a cold and indifferent gaze pierced through layers of obstacles and landed on him.

The Golden Winged Flying Dragon shivered, looking up only to meet a pair of dark, aloof eyes.

This... how could this be?

Humans usually become conceited when flattered by everyone, how could they perceive even the smallest of movements...

What on earth is the background of this human!

It’s over, this time, he’s doomed!

Unconsciously, a look of despair appeared on the Golden Winged Flying Dragon’s face.

He regretted it...

He regretted offending this woman!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state...

"Mother, how should we deal with this big bird?" Ye Sihuang’s eyebrows raised slightly, a bloodthirsty smile playing at his lips. "Would you like it braised, steamed, or roasted wings?"

The boy’s words struck the Golden Winged Flying Dragon’s ears like devil’s murmurs, and immediately, every hair on his body stood on end, looking at Ye Sihuang in horror...

ps: The main text of the Ghost King story is coming to an end. A new one will begin soon. I’m posting two Chapters today for now; there’ll be more later, but I can’t guarantee how many. Lately, I’ve been giving up writing for opening a store. Now, I originally wanted to hire a cashier so I wouldn’t have to manage the store, but I couldn’t find anyone. Meanwhile, there are always girls in Q asking me about updates, so I feel a bit guilty. I plan to write while running the store for now. Is there any girl from Changzhou looking for a job? I can give you spoilers every day, and keep you warm every day. I want to hire a cashier, but the girl must be an adult; I dare not hire minors.
