The Great Ruler (Web Novel)-Chapter 1440 - Wife and Husband Meets

When the cup shattered on the ground, Mu Feng looked at the silhouette walking in with disbelief. That silhouette was deeply engraved in his heart, despite their many years of separation.

A smile or scowl of that silhouette would cause his heart to tremble…

Due to protecting Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing chose to leave. So one could only imagine how much pain Mu Feng had to suffer at that time. In one hand was his lover, and his child in the other.

In the process of bringing Mu Chen up, he had suffered too much loneliness, and he had practically been thinking of that silhouette recently. However, he knew how difficult it would be for the two of them to meet. Thus, he did not show those emotions before Mu Chen, albeit to the yearning in his heart…

When Mu Chen left the Northern Spiritual Realm, he promised that he would bring Qing Yanjing back. At that time, Mu Feng did not think much about it because he knew the difficulty.

Thus, he practically never expected that Mu Chen would really bring her back…

“Little Qing…” Staring at that silhouette, Mu Feng’s voice started to tremble.

That silhouette stood before Mu Feng and looked at his aged face. Even her eyes couldn’t help turning watery.

Back then, she was lost and came to the Hundred Spirit Continent. She became a cripple back then and only had the strength of a Perfected Earth Sovereign with Spiritual Energy dispersing from her body, and all the Spiritual Beasts in the forest had treated her like food…

When she was in despair, she met Mu Feng. That man, who was weak in her heart, had carried her without any hesitation and escaped the envelopment of the Spiritual Beasts.

Despite him covered in wounds, he never gave up…

Although his action was a little insane and stupid in her eyes, it touched her. She met too many geniuses, but it was common amongst them to throw their companions aside and escape when in danger. Thus, it was rare for her to see someone that would risk his life to save someone that they met for the first time…

“You’ve grown old.” Qing Yanjing’s hand gently touched Mu Feng’s cheeks, who was covered in a stubble.

Awkwardly shaking his head, Mu Feng replied, “But you’re still as gorgeous. You’ve never changed.”

“Didn’t you just say that you’re not interested in me?” Qing Yanjing smiled. Even a gentle woman wouldn’t be so easy to deal with before her lover.

Instantly, Mu Feng felt a headache as he stared at Mu Chen, who was gloating. “It’s all that stinking brat’s fault!”

Qing Yanjing laughed. She naturally knew that Mu Feng didn’t really mean it. Holding onto Mu Feng’s rough hand, she responded, “If it weren’t for Chen’er, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.

“You’ve brought our child up so well, and you’ve never failed my trust.”

Mu Feng sighed. He was also stupefied that his son would be so capable. But at this time, he couldn’t reveal it to his wife and coughed, “Although I’m diligent in teaching, that stinking brat is also capable, and he has never put my teachings in vain.”

From the side, Mu Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Mu Feng had also recovered from being emotional, since this wasn’t the proper venue. Everyone was staring at them.

Instantly, Mu Feng’s face turned red from all the gazes and he bitterly said to Qing Yanjing, “*Sigh* Little Qing, that stinking brat caused trouble the moment he came back.”

Even right now, he was feeling fearful. What if the parents of the Hundred Spirit King comes? How would they deal with it? If the situation wasn’t right, it looked like he would have to ask Mu Chen to take Qing Yanjing and escape.

With a smile, Qing Yanjing replied, “Chen’er knows his limits. Let him deal with it.”

After she spoke, she turned to Tang Qian’er and smiled. “You must be Qian’er, right?”

Tang Qian’er’s eyes were wide as she looked at Qing Yanjing. She has never met Mu Chen’s mother. Hearing that the latter was asking for her, she nodded her head while feeling at a loss.

After that, she turned to Mu Chen. She had no idea how to address his mother.

“My mother’s name is Qing Yanjing.” Mu Chen smiled.

“Aunt Jing.” Tang Qian’er called obediently.

A gentle smile spread out on Qing Yanjing’s lips. “I’ve heard that you grew up with him. Since you’ve called me Aunt Jing, then I will give you a small gift.”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal pendant with a hexagon compass covered in profound runes.

“Thank you, Aunt Jing.” Tang Qian’er immediately received it with happiness on her face.

However, she only felt that this pendant was beautiful. Only Mu Chen could sense that there’s an array at the Spiritual Array Grandmaster level that was sealed within it. In dangerous times, it could even defend against a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign’s attack.

This was clearly a protective talisman.

At this moment, Ling Xi and Long Xiang had also come over. When Long Xiang came over, many people instantly directed their eyes over.

Although they couldn’t tell Mu Chen’s level, they could sense from Long Xiang’s pressure that this was a Perfected Earth Sovereign, which was not at all inferior to the two bodyguards of the Hundred Spirit King.

“This is Ling Xi. She has followed me since young, and I’ve considered her a daughter.” Qing Yanjing introduced as she pulled Ling Xi.

Ling Xi was a little anxious as she looked at Mu Feng and obediently called out, “Ling Xi greets Uncle Mu.”

Instantly, Mu Feng chuckled as he gently looked at Ling Xi. “Good, good. A daughter is so much better than that stinking brat, who just wants to make a joke out of his father.”

Hearing his words, Ling Xi smiled.

“Master, I am the Mistress’ bodyguard, Long Xiang.” Long Xiang respectfully bowed towards Mu Feng.

When Mu Feng saw this, he immediately, awkwardly supported Long Xiang. This was a Perfected Earth Sovereign, and even in the Hundred Spirit Continent, this was an expert that even the Hundred Spirit King had to give face to. Thus, he was at a loss when such an existence was being respectful to him.

To divert the awkward atmosphere, Mu Feng instantly introduced his friends of the Northern Spiritual Alliance to Qing Yanjing, which the latter smiled as she replied.

When Mu Chen saw this, he inwardly awkwardly. If they knew that his mother was a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor, they probably wouldn’t have the courage to even speak to her…

While Mu Chen and company were enjoying their reunion, everyone in the hall remained silent. No one dared to speak. At the same time, no one dared to come up and greet them.

When the parents of the Hundred Spirit King arrives, there would inevitably be an earth-shattering fight. At that time, if Mu Chen couldn’t face them, then today would probably end in a tragedy…

So who would dare to come up and talk to the Northern Spiritual Alliance right now?

The Hundred Spirit King viciously stared at Mu Chen’s direction and roared in his heart. ‘Just enjoy it for now, when my parents arrive, you people won’t even have the time to cry!’

However, Mu Chen paid no attention to his vicious gaze. He also wanted to thoroughly deal with the matter today by letting the Hundred Spirit King call for backup.

After all, the Northern Spiritual Realm was Mu Feng’s hard work. Although it’s nothing in Mu Chen's eyes, it held great importance for his father.

Therefore, he would have to deal with this matter once and for all to ensure the peace of Mu Feng and the Northern Spiritual Alliance.

Whether it was the Hundred Spirit King or the Sect Master of the Northern Profound Sect, they’d be hidden dangers if he couldn’t deal with them properly.

With this thought, Mu Chen quietly sat to the side and waited.

As time gradually passed, everyone started to feel uneasy. They could feel that a storm was approaching.

As the sun gradually sets, the crimson light shone across the entire Hundred Spirit City…

Suddenly, Mu Chen opened his eyes. He could sense a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation coming from the Teleportation Spiritual Array.

“Finally, they’re here.” Mu Chen commented.

In the next instant, powerful Spiritual Energy swept out that enveloped the entire region. Everyone in the Hundred Spirit City uneasily trembled from the Spiritual Energy pressure.

When the pressure appeared, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in the sky of this palace.

Everyone was instantly shocked when they saw the roof of this hall being blown away as terrifying Spiritual Energy descended. At the same time, the voice of a woman filled with killing intent resounded, “Who is the bastard that dares to chop the hands of my son! Get out!”
