Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite the Bait Please - Chapter 104.2

Chapter 104.2 : A Guest Comes to Visit

The Mu Family’s repute had always been very good out there and they had even opened a pharmacy just for the poor and destitute, giving away medicine for free. The pharmacy had been opened for about five to six years.

Hearing Qing Yu’s words, Mu Lai’s beautiful eyes shone and sparkled. “You will truly become the one who silently spread blessings onto the people.”

[Does this girl even know how much precious and priceless things the Assassination Temple sent?]

[It is enough to buy up several busy and flourishing streets! And here she is giving it all away so nonchalantly.]

[And back when she had killed that sixth level spirit beast in its lair, Qing Yu had also gifted her the core crystal with a blink of an eye. It must be known that if a sixth level spirit beast’s core crystal were to be put up for auction, it would at least fetch several good millions.]

[But she had just casually said: “You need it more than I do.”]

Indeed, she had bet with those people in her family clan back then that if she was unable to bring back a sixth level spirit beast’s core crystal, she would give up on her position as the clan’s Young Chief.

So, how could she afford to lose? She most definitely cannot lose.

Hence, even if she fought to her last breath, she must kill that spirit beast. She had been incredibly proud from birth and she would never bow down before anyone except towards Qing Yu.

Mu Lai then suddenly remembered something rather belatedly and she then opened her mouth to ask: “That Yan Ning Luo seems to be a member of the Faint Mist Sect and she seems to hold a rather high position in there. You will not be able to come back for the next two to three years at least when you join the sect, wouldn’t you be seeing her very often in there?”

Ever since she came to know Qing Yu’s identity, Mu Lai had come to understand quite a good amount of things about her. She knew that Yan Ning Luo had always disliked Qing Yu and seeing they those two people would be seeing each other quite frequently, what would happen if Yan Ning Luo comes to make things difficult for Qing Yu?

Qing Yu raised an eyebrow. “That probably won’t happen. She is an inner circle disciple and I will surely just be one among so many regular disciples when I get accepted. With such a great disparity in position, we will definitely not see each other even once every few months.”

She was going in there not because she wanted to learn anything, but as there were just too many secrets in this body she was inhabiting, she wanted to find some clear answers. And as for the reason why she was going to the Faint Mist Sect, that was because there seemed to be a voice that was telling her to go there.

Mu Lai felt that those words sounded rather logical as well and she then nodded before she said: “I will be staying here in the Imperial Capital for a period so we can meet with each other anytime whenever there’s a need.”

“What? You have business to take care of here in the Imperial Capital?”

Although Mu Lai had said that she came here to see her, but Qing Yu could see that something was not right with her demeanor. Even though Mu Lai had hidden it well, but she had still picked up a few clues.

“What happened?”

Mu Lai was taken aback a moment before she then shook her head lightly. “There’s nothing. It’s just that I have never come to the Green Wave Kingdom’s Imperial Capital and I wanted to come see the scenery here.”

“You are lying.” Qing Yu said as she looked at her with her brows knitted together. “As the Young Chief of such a large family clan, there are so many clan affairs you have to deal with on a daily basis, how can you possibly have the time for something so frivolous like sightseeing? Tell me. What happened?”

In her past life, she didn’t even need to talk about how many things big and small she had had to attend to after she took on the position of Family Head, but just the period when she had been picked as the heir alone already gave her so much pressure that was just impossible to describe.

And there were so many branches in the Mu Family watching her every move, the slightest misstep from her and her position as the Young Chief of the family clan would be snatched from her. Moreover, having to stand firm against the dogma of having a female assume the position of Young Chief, she would have to overcome many obstacles. Everyone might be highly respectful on the surface, no one knew what kind of vicious plot people might be hatching to have her dead.

Such filthy nauseating things that went on inside large family clans were not new to Qing Yu in the slightest.

Seeing Mu Lai looking like that, Qing Yu faintly felt an ill premonition rise up within.
