Chapter 1117: Chapter 1112: Corpse King Edition

Everyone looked towards Chu Beiqing.

Chu Beiqing, thick-skinned, wasn’t burned on the finger. Seeing everyone staring at him, he felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head, and revealed a set of white teeth.

"Yue... girl... I’m brewing medicine again..."

"Uncle Chu, thank you, for helping me brew the medicine." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Murong Ziyue smiled, her eyes showing a bit of emotion; the people in the School Clinic were all very good to her.

Here, she felt a sense of familial bonds that she had never felt in Fengdong.

"Hey, hey, fool, why are you interrupting? Where were we? Xin Lin, you’re not bold enough to exchange veins, are you? Such a wicked thing, and yet you can still do it!"

Mu Chen was shocked.

Even Fengdong may not commit such an evil act.

That would be a vein exchange, switching someone else’s Spirit Martial Meridian onto oneself.

The one gaining the vein might say it’s nice, but the one losing it might not survive or would be crippled.

This method seemed all too familiar.

Mu Chen recalled seeing such a deceitful method somewhere before.

Yes, the Corpse King!

Xin Lin’s sinister way was exactly like what the Corpse King did back then.

"I haven’t said whose vein I’m exchanging, so how is it wicked? If I were to exchange it with Chang Yan’s vein, then it would be a case of revenge, but... I might not even fancy her Martial Meridian."

Xin Lin scoffed.

The vein that was shattered in Ziyue was the Heavenly Heart Meridian.

Chang Yan couldn’t beat Ziyue, so her Martial Meridian couldn’t be that great either.

"That’s easy to say, but do you think Heavenly Veins are so easy to find? Wait, are you actually planning to exchange Ziyue’s vein?"

Mu Chen expressed concern; he had a bad feeling about this.

"No need to worry about this; I have my own judgment. All you need to do is help persuade Fengdong to let Ziyue stay."

Xin Lin waved dismissively.

To outsiders, exchanging veins sounded inconceivable, but to Xin Lin, it seemed plausible.

If it doesn’t work, there’s also the possibility of directly devouring a Heavenly Vein.

Besides humans, even the Martial Meridian in a Dark Beast can be devoured, though such Dark Beasts are hard to find.

"I can’t say I’m entirely sure, since she hasn’t really reached the Blood Realm, and the Old Family Master is a very stubborn man, and the Xiliao side isn’t easy to deal with either."

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment.

"If I can secure a top-three position in the Little Eagle Conference, would that convince the Old Family Master?"

Murong Ziyue said.

"Top three? Murong Ziyue, are you sure? That’s the Little Eagle Chick Conference attended by students from the entire Eastern Continent. Although it’s not as full of masters as the real Eagle Chick Conference, this year’s competition is somewhat special..."

Mu Chen was taken aback. He was about to persuade Murong Ziyue but then stopped himself halfway.

The details of the Little Eagle Conference hadn’t been officially announced yet, and no one, including him, was allowed to leak any information.

If anything were leaked, not only Mu Chen but even Qingtian Academy would be implicated.

"I will keep my word. I’ll definitely secure the top three. If I don’t, I’ll return to Fengdong and beg for punishment. Then, whether you want me to marry or be a servant, I’ll agree. What you risk at most is about three months of time, but for me, it’s my entire life."

Murong Ziyue said resolutely.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment.

He looked at Murong Ziyue, who had never been as determined and decisive as she was today.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Mu Chen nodded.
