I was the one who beat this pig

Mu Yunmo merely smiled.

Since ancient times, so many cultivation experts had had their dantians destroyed, yet not one had successfully restored theirs, let alone him. Though he knew his ninth sister was trying to comfort him, he knew the truth in his heart!

"Second Brother, I mean it!"

Seeing Mu Yunmo's expression, Mu Yunxi knew her second brother did not believe her, but she would not give up.

Her second brother's dantian had been destroyed because of his involvement with her. No matter what, she would find a way to heal him!

Originally, Mu Zhantian had refused to believe any of it, but after hearing his grandson and granddaughter speak and glancing at the expressions of everyone around them, he finally looked at Mu Yunxi in disbelief.

Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be excitement, as well as shock!

Yet there was not the slightest trace of blame or anger.

Seeing Mu Zhantian like this, Mu Yunxi could not help feeling warmth well up in her heart!

"Xi'er, is... is everything they said true? You..."

"Grandpa, I was the one who beat this pig!"

Mu Yunxi stood up and looked firmly at Mu Zhantian, her back ramrod straight as she spoke each word distinctly.

"But that was because he destroyed Second Brother's dantian. Courtesy demands reciprocity; I merely paid him back in his own coin. Who knew this pig couldn't take a beating? An initial-stage Grand Martial Master couldn't even beat a piece of trash like me. How laughable!"

Having finished, Mu Yunxi gave a cold snort at Zhu Jianqiang lying on the ground, her utter contempt making Zhu Yueshan's eyes grow even redder with rage!

A sudden ache rose in Mu Zhantian's heart as he looked at the little girl he had always kept by his side and doted on. Without his realizing it, she had gradually grown up.

At that moment, Mu Zhantian's feelings were incomparably complicated.

He was happy and excited, even his eyes reddening. In his excitement, he laughed like a child, then cried!

"Good, good! Haha! Well beaten, wonderfully beaten! That's how a granddaughter of mine should be!"

In his excitement, Mu Zhantian said "good" twice in succession, his eyes brimming with joy and affection, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.

The sisters Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan, in particular, wished they could tear Mu Yunxi into ten thousand pieces when they saw their clan head defending that bitch so fiercely!

"You little wretch, you're spewing bloody slander! If you hadn't gravely injured my younger grandson and crippled both his hands, why would my elder grandson have come to your door to settle the score?"

Zhu Yueshan snorted coldly, glaring viciously at Mu Yunxi with sinister, icy eyes.

"Listen, old pig, that younger grandson of yours actually dared to try to have his way with me! I haven't even come to settle the score with you, yet you dare come knocking? Believe me, next time, I won't just cripple his hands. I'll cripple his feet too!"

Mu Yunxi glared at Zhu Yueshan with unbridled arrogance, her bloodthirsty eyes brimming with defiance!

"Zhu Yueshan, you've got some nerve! Your grandson actually dared harbor such filthy intentions toward my precious granddaughter? I'd say crippling his hands was letting him off lightly. If I'd been there, I'd have crippled his manhood too!"

Upon hearing that someone had dared bully his precious granddaughter, the flames of fury surrounding Mu Zhantian suddenly surged even higher, and he glared viciously at Zhu Yueshan as he roared.

"You... you two..."

How could Zhu Yueshan have known there was this side to the story? Not only had he lost two beloved grandsons for nothing, but that old bastard Mu Zhantian had also slapped him in the face before so many people.

Zhu Yueshan's gaze grew increasingly sinister, sharp with killing intent!

Damn you, Mu Zhantian! One day, I, Zhu Yueshan, will wipe out your entire Mu Clan!

"What do you mean, 'you two'? What, Zhu Yueshan, do you want a one-on-one fight? Come on, then! You think I'm afraid of you?"

Mu Zhantian barked coldly, brimming with arrogance and domineering might!

"You..."

Hearing Mu Zhantian's words, Zhu Yueshan was so enraged that he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Everyone else could not help snickering at Mu Zhantian's words.

A one-on-one fight!

Old General Mu was a supreme expert at the Martial Emperor realm. Who in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom would dare challenge him to a one-on-one fight?

He was plainly trying to anger Old Prime Minister Zhu to death!

Devious, far too devious!

Mu Yunxi could not help laughing inwardly. She had never expected her fierce, fiercely protective grandfather to have such an adorable side. She truly adored it!

Especially as she watched Zhu Yueshan slink away, his face full of fury he could not vent, taking Zhu Jianqiang, whose hands, feet, and dantian had been crippled, with him, Mu Yunxi found the feeling immensely satisfying.

Though Mu Zhantian was happy that his precious granddaughter had become formidable, he was equally worried.

"Xi'er, from today onward, you are not allowed to go out into the streets alone. Even if you go out, you must take the residence's guards with you. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Grandpa!"

Mu Yunxi understood what Mu Zhantian meant. He feared that while the Zhu Clan would not dare do anything to her in his presence, they would use underhanded methods against her somewhere beyond his protection.

But even if the Zhu Clan dared come, she, Mu Yunxi, was not afraid!

The Zhu Clan should be the ones afraid. A contemptuous sneer flashed in Mu Yunxi's eyes, sinister and cunning!

Watching from the shadows, Jun Ling could not help feeling his heart stir at the wicked, scheming smile on Mu Yunxi's face. The little thing looked so adorable lurking in the shadows and plotting against others that he wanted to give her a hard kiss.

"Someone, carry the second young master inside, then fetch a physician. Hurry!"

Glancing at Mu Yunmo, whose dantian was seventy percent destroyed, Mu Zhantian still felt his heart ache.

"Grandpa, there's no need to fetch a physician. I'll examine Second Brother!" Mu Yunxi looked at Mu Zhantian and spoke earnestly.

"Xi'er, your second brother's injuries are too severe. You..."

"Grandpa, trust me!"

Mu Yunxi knew Mu Zhantian did not believe her, but she persisted.

"Do you really have a way?"

Though Mu Zhantian knew that a destroyed dantian was a grave matter and that his grandson would probably remain like this for the rest of his life, he still hoped his only grandson could live well.

"Yes. As long as you trust me, Grandpa, I have a way to heal Second Brother!"

Mu Yunxi answered earnestly.

Looking at his precious granddaughter, so certain and unwavering, Mu Zhantian nodded.

"All right. I trust you!"

Perhaps his precious granddaughter really did have some method. Even if she did not, he could not bear to go against her wishes.

Then Mu Yunxi secretly summoned the "Pangu Demon Needles" from within her body, using a special cultivation method to divide the demon needle into two, two into four, and four into eight.

Only after she had separated out a full nine times nine, eighty-one needles, did Mu Yunxi begin working them over Mu Yunmo's body, her movements like drifting clouds and flowing water.

As Mu Zhantian watched his precious granddaughter suddenly display this skill, his eyes filled with shock and even a hint of disbelief. He nearly thought she was some impostor pretending to be his precious granddaughter!

But the very next moment, Mu Zhantian dismissed the thought.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi's entire attention was focused on administering the needles to Mu Yunmo. Cool and composed, meticulous, neither flustered nor hurried, she even exuded a measure of innate nobility and commanding might.

The sight of her like this could not help reminding Mu Zhantian of his son!
