Ah Yin was somewhat confused. She had begun to question Tang Hao's so-called love for her.
He had deliberately brought her to a dangerous place, where she was hunted down right after giving birth, when she was at her weakest.
She seemed to remember now. She had clearly been hunted before, yet after she told him she was pregnant, they had hidden away for an entire year, only to be pursued again right after she gave birth.
The people from Spirit Hall were not idiots. How could they have failed to find them before, only to conveniently locate them again a year later?
She remembered that Tang Hao had gone out once, saying he was buying something for her and their son...
Perhaps that was when Tang Hao had exposed their whereabouts...
Tang Hao, Tang Hao... I loved you so much, yet you coveted my soul ring and soul bone.
After Mu Yu's reminder, Ah Yin had regained much of her clarity.
As for Mu Yu's proposal... naturally, she hoped the people who had harmed her would be punished.
Her love for Tang Hao had already faded, replaced by towering hatred.
As for that good-for-nothing son of hers... he could do whatever he wanted. She was tired. Let it all be destroyed...
Three days later, Mu Yu arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as usual.
"Have you made up your mind?"
The moment Mu Yu saw Ah Yin, she noticed the change in her. It seemed that the once-gentle Blue Silver Grass was becoming... less docile...
The Blue Silver Emperor's leaves nodded.
"I'll help you get revenge, but you have to listen to me."
The Blue Silver Emperor nodded again.
"Fine, then I have something to do now."
"Xi Ruo, help me steal Ah Yin's soul bone. You should know where it is."
Xi Ruo revealed his true form and nodded.
"My dear Beast King, please stay here and watch over things for me~"
"Then what are you going to do?"
Di Tian looked at Mu Yu in confusion.
"Find her something incredibly nourishing to help her regain her human form."
As she spoke, Mu Yu plucked an Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with her left hand and an Infernal Delicate Apricot with her right, then swallowed them whole.
She turned to Di Tian. "Watch over things for me. I'll be back up soon." With that, she leaped straight into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the attributes of extreme cold and extreme heat surged wildly through Mu Yu's body.
The feeling was terrible, but it was definitely good for her body~
About three hours later, Mu Yu crawled out of the spring, utterly exhausted.
Xi Ruo and Di Tian were already prepared.
"What do we do now?"
"Rest for a while."
"..."
After Mu Yu slept for forty-nine hours, she set off with Di Tian and the others.
"Where are we going?" Xi Ruo asked in confusion.
"I don't know what that place is called. Anyway, it's where the Blue Silver Emperor awakens. It'll be more convenient for her revival there."
When they arrived, the Blue Silver Grass carpeting the ground gave Mu Yu a small shock.
"Your Majesty... you've returned..."
An aged voice rang out.
Mu Yu adhered to the principle of letting her fists do the talking.
"This is your king's soul bone. We couldn't find her soul ring, so hurry up and revive her."
The elder was clearly displeased. "Who are you? How can you speak like that..."
But before he could finish, the aura of Di Tian, the Beast King, pressed down on him so heavily that he could barely breathe.
He looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in Mu Yu's hand and reluctantly compromised.
Mu Yu lightly bit her finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the Blue Silver Emperor, then tossed it toward the source of the elder's voice.
A flash of blue light appeared. (Blah blah blah...) Then the Blue Silver Emperor was revived!
(Ahem, ahem, just kidding...)
"My people, thank you for using your lives to revive me."
Ah Yin's body appeared before everyone present—Soul Beasts included.
Ah Yin cast Mu Yu a faintly grateful look.
"Since I helped revive you, you'll have to help me now~"
Ah Yin nodded slightly.
"You said you'd help me get revenge too, right?"
"Mm."
Ah Yin bent slightly at the waist.
"You are my benefactor. From now on, Ah Yin is willing to follow your arrangements."
Mu Yu nodded in satisfaction and casually pulled out several of her Soul Beasts.
"From now on, you're friends. This is the Beast King Di Tian, this is Xi Ruo, this is the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, this is his wife, the Demon Empress, and... his daughter, Lan Fuzi. There's also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who isn't here. His name is Xiao Mo. I'll introduce you to him later."
Ah Yin was stunned. Other than Lan Fuzi, who had only been born recently, every Soul Beast in this group was countless times stronger than her...
Just what kind of magic did this woman possess, to make so many Soul Beasts bow their heads to her?
"Oh, right, Ah Yin, how much of your Soul Power have you recovered?"
"About level seventy."
Level seventy... Mu Yu thought about it. First, she needed to raise Ah Yin's strength.
Forget it. She should return to Shrek Academy and see Rongrong and the others first.
Upon arriving in Suotuo City, the city lord practically catered to her every whim... which made Mu Yu feel a little uncomfortable...
Ignoring Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others, Mu Yu walked straight toward Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Big sister!"
When Ning Rongrong saw Mu Yu, she happily threw herself into Mu Yu's arms.
"Alright, you're not a child anymore."
"Your Highness."
Zhao Wuji respectfully bowed to Mu Yu.
"Teacher Zhao, where are you planning to go?"
Although Mu Yu knew already, she still had to ask symbolically.
"Oscar, Rongrong, Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu have all reached level thirty. I was just about to take them to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings."
"Mm, perfect. One of my friends and I also need to hunt soul rings. Let's go together."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Star Dou Great Forest was filled with danger. With Mu Yu there, they had an additional layer of protection. As for Mu Yu's friend, that person definitely would not be weak.
They set off for the Star Dou Great Forest. The Shrek Academy students jogged the entire way, making Mu Yu feel embarrassed about riding in a carriage, so she could only walk behind them.
Because of Mu Yu's past attitude toward Yu Xiaogang, Tang San had always disliked her. Now that Mu Yu was at the back and far slower than them, Tang San started causing trouble again.
"Hey, can you hurry up? Don't hold us back!"
Tang San shouted in Mu Yu's direction.
Mu Yu froze for a moment. This brat really had some nerve. She turned to look at Ah Yin beside her.
Ah Yin:?
"Your son is talking to me like this. Aren't you going to do something about it?"
Ah Yin was startled. She had felt that this child was somewhat familiar, but she had not expected him to truly be her son.
"I don't have a son that stupid."
"Pfft..."
Mu Yu burst out laughing at Ah Yin's words. Calling her own son an idiot was really something.
Of course, Ah Yin's current attitude was also thanks to the Demon Empress's brainwashing.
Ah Yin truly felt that something was wrong with Tang San's brain. Did he not know who Mu Yu was? He was the first person to throw himself straight into the line of fire.
Then again, having grown up with someone like Tang Hao, there was bound to be something wrong with the child's mind.
Seeing Mu Yu ignore him and even start chatting with some unknown woman in blue beside her, Tang San became furious.
Mu Yu looked at Tang San's enraged expression and barely suppressed the urge to laugh.
"Why does a little brat talk so much? If I speed up, you won't even matter anymore."
Tang San's face was full of indignation. Just as he wanted to speak again, wings unfurled behind Mu Yu. One branch of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around Mu Yu, while two others separately wrapped around Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Mu Yu leaped into the air. With a whoosh, she moved so quickly that Tang San could not even see her afterimages.
"Then I'll wait for you up ahead."
Tang San was completely dumbfounded. Seeing her beloved suffer such a setback, Xiao Wu's resentment toward Mu Yu grew even deeper.
Back then, that woman had stopped them from killing the woman from Spirit Hall, which eventually led to her mother's death.
Later, Mu Yu had attacked her as well.
And now, Mu Yu had humiliated her brother like this!
She decided that this time, she would make Mu Yu pay dearly!
The Star Dou Great Forest was her home turf. This time, she had not sensed Xi Ruo's power, so she was certain that only Mu Yu and Ah Yin had come today.
Because Mu Yu had deliberately concealed her strength, Xiao Wu did not think Mu Yu was particularly formidable.
But she did not know that the Spirit Souls within Mu Yu's Sea of Consciousness had already set their sights on her.
