Do You Dare Accept?

The Ghost Market had always held an extraordinary status in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. Even members of the imperial family needed a token signifying their identity before they would be allowed inside.

Mu Yunxi had never visited the Ghost Market before, so she naturally knew nothing of its rules.

When Mu Yunxi was stopped by the Ghost Market's guards, a mocking voice came from behind her.

"Third Sister, trash really is trash. She doesn't even know the Ghost Market's rules, yet she dares come here courting death. Careful they don't beat you out!"

"Fourth Sister, Ninth Sister has spent too long at home. Naturally, she doesn't know the Ghost Market's rules!"

Another voice rang out. Though seemingly gentle, its tone carried barely concealed jealousy and hatred, its words mocking Mu Yunxi for her ignorance.

Hearing the two voices behind her, a contemptuous sneer surfaced in the depths of Mu Yunxi's icy eyes.

She turned toward the two approaching women and sneered.

"Heh, I wondered who kept spouting 'trash.' So it's you two drowned rats. What, do you want another taste of being drowned rats?"

Mu Yunxi's words instantly changed Mu Yuyan's and Mu Luoyan's expressions.

Remembering how this trash, Mu Yunxi, had kicked them into the lake two days earlier made them grind their teeth with hatred. Even Mu Yuyan struggled to maintain her usual gentle demeanor.

Damn Mu Yunxi! It was all this bitch's fault that she had embarrassed herself in front of the Fourth Prince.

That was precisely why, upon hearing that the Fourth Prince had been seriously injured, Mu Yuyan had thought of coming to the Ghost Market to obtain a medicinal pill for him!

"Mu Yunxi, you trash, you bitch! Don't get so smug. One day, my third sister will show you what she's capable of!"

Mu Luoyan shouted furiously, her angry face twisted with malice.

"I'll be waiting!"

Mu Yunxi raised a cold brow, her exquisite, peerless face openly arrogant, her icy eyes filled with contempt and mockery.

"Mu Yunxi, do you dare accept my challenge?"

Beside her, Mu Yuyan stared coldly at Mu Yunxi's exquisite face, wishing she could rush forward and slash it to ribbons immediately.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Tell me, how shall we compete?"

A challenge? Mu Yunxi sneered inwardly. If Mu Yuyan dared challenge her, she had the ability to make Mu Yuyan die without even knowing how!

No one else noticed the ruthlessness in Mu Yunxi's eyes, but Feng Yun saw it.

Waving his folding fan, he stepped out of the crowd with a dashing air, a smile on his handsome face.

"Since you're competing, why not let me serve as a witness for you three young ladies?"

Hearing Feng Yun's words, Mu Yunxi instinctively frowned, contempt and disgust appearing in her eyes.

Anyone on good terms with that damned stone-faced Fourth Prince fell within the scope of her disgust.

Meeting the cold, disgusted look in Mu Yunxi's eyes, Feng Yun gave a bitter smile.

How could he fail to understand the reason? Yet however he looked at her, he found this woman interesting.

He also had a feeling that before long, having lost such a piece of uncarved jade, the Fourth Prince would sooner or later regret it.

But if he truly regretted it, who knew whether this woman would have a change of heart?

Feng Yun's gaze deepened as he watched Mu Yunxi. For some reason, he did not want her to have a change of heart!

The thought startled even him, and then a bitter smile curved his lips.

What right did a short-lived wretch have to think about such things?

"Young Master Feng!"

Upon seeing Feng Yun, Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan naturally recognized him well. Feng Yun was not merely the Fourth Prince's closest friend since childhood.

He was also the heir to East Ling's wealthiest man, with a distinguished status and considerable strength.

The moment Feng Yun arrived, Mu Luoyan's entire demeanor changed. Her pretty face flushed with bashfulness, and her eyes brimmed with affection as she gazed at him.

Yet Feng Yun did not spare Mu Luoyan or Mu Yuyan so much as a glance. He had eyes only for Mu Yunxi.

The sight filled Mu Luoyan and Mu Yuyan with even greater jealousy and hatred. Why? This foxy bitch knew only how to seduce their men.

First the Fourth Prince, and now Young Master Feng. Both had been deceived by this foxy bitch!

"At the clan testing assembly in one month, the loser must destroy her own eyes and looks, and cripple her own arms and legs. Well? Do you dare accept?"

Mu Yuyan truly had been somewhat blinded by jealousy to propose such a vicious wager.

The moment those terms were spoken, Feng Yun frowned, a cold gleam of disgust in his eyes as he looked at Mu Yuyan.

This vicious woman had actually made the stakes so sinister and cruel.

At least, even if the Fourth Prince disliked Mu Yunxi, he would never marry a venomous woman like Mu Yuyan!

"I accept. Why wouldn't I dare? Just don't regret it when the time comes, Third Sister!"

A wicked smile hung on Mu Yunxi's face, full of mockery.

How could she turn down an opportunity to torment scum when it delivered itself right to her door?

Hidden in the shadows, Mo Li watched the sinister, ruthless expression on the little madam's face and could not help feeling a chill.

The little madam was about to scheme against someone again. She truly was the ancestor of treachery!

"Tch, trash, you're the one who'd better not regret it! Apart from our eldest brother, my third sister is the most talented disciple in the Mu Clan. How could she possibly lose to trash like you?"

Mu Luoyan snorted coldly, looking at Mu Yunxi with disdain. Her proud manner pleased Mu Yuyan greatly, and she lifted her head haughtily.

"You can't put it that way. People can lose their grip, and horses can lose their footing. Even beasts have their mishaps, let alone Third Miss Mu!"

Feng Yun mocked lightly, his defense of Mu Yunxi obvious in his tone.

Mu Yuyan's face immediately darkened.

What was wrong with Young Master Feng, comparing her to a beast? Had he truly fallen for that foxy piece of trash, Mu Yunxi?

Damn it!

"Mu Yunxi, just you wait!"

After glaring resentfully at Mu Yunxi, Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan headed into the Ghost Market.

The most important thing now was to buy a medicinal pill to heal the Fourth Prince's injuries first. Once she became his consort, would she need to fear being unable to kill this bitch?

Once Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan left, Mu Yunxi also prepared to leave.

Without a token, she could not enter the Ghost Market even if she wanted to.

"Ninth Miss Mu, please wait!"

Feng Yun suddenly called Mu Yunxi back, speaking with gentle elegance.

"I happen to be going inside as well. Each token allows its holder to bring one person along. If you're willing, Ninth Miss Mu, you can come with me!"

"No need!"

Mu Yunxi refused coldly. Though she wanted to enter, she was even less willing to owe someone a favor, especially someone connected to Xuanyuan Jin!

"Ninth Miss Mu, I mean no harm. It's just that the Ghost Market's auction house is auctioning Demon Emperor Grass and Blood of a Hundred Poisons today!"

"All right, I'll go in with you!"

Upon hearing that Demon Emperor Grass and Blood of a Hundred Poisons were being auctioned today, Mu Yunxi stopped, turned, and spoke to Feng Yun.

Seeing that Mu Yunxi had indeed agreed, Feng Yun broke into a radiant smile.

"Don't smile like such a lovesick fool. Careful you don't attract bees!"

Mu Yunxi snorted coldly and headed toward the Ghost Market's entrance, leaving Feng Yun behind with his smile frozen on his face.
