Chapter 18 Becoming Her Sister-in-law
After saying this, Pei Jinshu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. Although she was only fifteen years old, she was quite tall.
She leaned fragilely in Madam Pei's arms and stretched out a finger, "That vicious woman wanted to cut my hand, wuwuwu..."
She didn’t dare to think about what kind of torture she would suffer in the future if Mu Nanyue became her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Pei: "..."
It’s so annoying day by day!
She suppressed her temper and said patiently, "Don't be afraid! No one can bully you with mother here."
What this means is that as long as Mu Nanyue agrees, it is only a matter of time before she becomes her sister-in-law.
Pei Jinshu: “…”
No matter whether she lives or dies, there is no love anymore.
Seeing that she was performing again and had no intention of stopping for a long time, Pei Yinghuai stood up impatiently, "That's enough. I don't know what will come out of your mouth?"
Pei Jinshu must have said something or done something to offend Mu Nanyue, otherwise she would not have acted without regard for the relationship between the two families.
Of course, there is another possibility.
Mu Nanyue simply wanted to scare her.
"Brother, your heart has already been crooked before the person even enters the door!" Pei Jinshu couldn't believe it.
She seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly wiped away the two tears on her face, with an expression of gloating.
"What a coincidence! When I was going home, I happened to see Mu Nanyue heading out of the city. Is she hiding from someone?"
"What!" Pei Yinghuai had just sat down and stood up suddenly when he heard the news.
His handsome face darkened a little, and he turned around and left without saying a word, his steps hurried.
Mu Nanyue, you dare to lie to me!
The air pressure around Pei Yinghuai was extremely low. He ran out of the yard with his long legs to summon the monster, and chased it out of the city at lightning speed.
At this time, Mu Nanyue had no idea that her whereabouts had been misunderstood.
After leaving the city, she stood on the back of the extremely fast Peng bird and rushed to Ziyun Forest overnight.
She unexpectedly learned from the Great Elder that Mu Shuyi had been found and her condition was not good.
Good news: still alive.
Bad news: dying!
Since the place where Mu Shuyi was found was the underground fighting arena in Ziyunlin, only people of status could enter.
The owner behind the 'Jiuxiao Arena' is very mysterious. He can use formations to separate the arena from the outside world, forming an independent small space.
The Mu family guards couldn't get in.
Two hours later.
Mu Nanyue showed up at the Jiuxiao Arena without any delay. When she was stopped outside the door, she took out the jade token that she had asked her mother for in advance.
"You three please!"
As soon as the jade token of VIP status appeared, Mu Nanyue successfully entered the Jiuxiao Arena. He saw that the surrounding decorations were magnificent and the lights were bright, just like a palace.
The competition stages of varying sizes were magnificent, and from time to time one could hear the roars of monsters and the weak screams of insignia slaves.
Mu Nanyue stood on the top floor and had a clear view of the situation below.
There were no angry curses here, only young men and women in gorgeous clothes gathered together, with occasional sounds of laughter and playfulness.
Faced with the cruel and bloody Colosseum, they seemed accustomed to it and had a calm face, without sympathy, pity, or even ridicule.
The eyes of the people watching the show were fixed on the field with great interest. The wounded indentures were exhausted and were eventually swallowed by the monster.
Mu Nanyue clenched her hands, not daring to think about how desperate the teenage Mu Shuyi would be when she was sold here and faced with the ferocious monsters that treated her as food.
Can she survive?
Mu Nanyue didn't dare to think too much. She looked around the underground fighting arena with her dark eyes, hoping to find Mu Shuyi soon.
Soon, someone shouted excitedly, "Look! That little girl is still alive. She's quite strong!"
"Today we've played ten games together. Although she narrowly won by exhausting the monster with her speed, she does have some strength after all."
"Oh, Master Shen is interested in her? That's right, after all, she has a mutated wind spirit root, it would be nice to keep her by your side as a death warrior..."
The ragged little girl was thrown into the fighting arena like a chicken. She rolled on the ground with wounds all over her body for a few times and got up in a panic.
Hearing everyone's comments about her, her dull eyes flickered.
Without giving her a chance to think, the three blood wolves on the field bared their ferocious fangs and pounced forward with their mouths bared, obviously extremely hungry.
Mu Shuyi's heart trembled, and her drooping hands tightly grasped the dagger, which was the only tool that could save her life.
It is the hope of survival.
Just as she was about to fight desperately, a tall figure appeared in an instant. He swiftly swung out the sword in his hand, splitting the three blood wolves that were rushing towards her into two halves, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Don't be afraid, my lady is here." Yun Feng put away his sword and turned around to comfort her.
Mu Shuyi was shocked.
It wasn’t because Yun Feng was ruthless, but because someone dared to stand up for the indentured slaves in the Jiuxiao Arena, ruining the mood of the young masters and ladies.
Mu Shuyi was happy and surprised, with a hint of worry in her heart. She moved her cracked lips: "You, who are you?"
Who is so brave?
Yun Feng didn't say anything. He reached out and grabbed her trembling arm, then quickly led her out of the arena.
"Qinghua City, Mu family's Xuan-level secret guard, Yun Feng." He responded softly.
Mu Shuyi's eyes widened and she looked at Yun Feng in disbelief. Just as she was about to speak, a group of people quickly swarmed around her.
They held sharp weapons in their hands and pointed them at Yun Feng.
The guard leader walked over slowly and snorted coldly: "Nosy guy, hand him over quickly!"
After saying that, his cruel and bloodthirsty eyes fell on Mu Shuyi, "You damn girl, you don't really think anyone can save you, do you?"
"This is the Jiuxiao Arena! And you have been sold as a contracted slave. You can only stay here for the rest of your life, or be torn apart by monsters!"
His ironic words made Mu Shuyi tremble all over. Fear swept over her and enveloped her. The hope that had just risen seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Yun Feng remained calm, took out a black cloak and put it on the shivering man, "The young lady is here, don't worry."
His expression was calm and his tone was confident, which inexplicably made Mu Shuyi feel at ease.
The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere was tense.
"The Jiuxiao Arena is so majestic! How dare you kidnap my sister and leave her here as a bonded slave for others to play with? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Mu Nanyue's clear and indifferent voice cut through the solemn atmosphere. She raised her eyes and met the leader of the guards, her eyes cold and desolate.
"If you don't give me an explanation, I will destroy this broken fighting arena!"
The latter reacted, was shocked, and quickly passed the message to the manager.
"Miss Mu is here too." The leader of the guards put on a kind smile, glanced at Mu Shuyi out of the corner of his eye, and thought to himself: What bad luck!
He came up to me and said, "You are such a joke. This damn girl was sold to me by someone, and I spent three hundred spirit stones on her."
A contract of sale was slowly unfolded, and the head of the guards continued to laugh and said, "If she is really a member of the Mu family, I think there must be a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with the fighting arena, right?"
Being able to serve as the leader of the guards for many years in a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, he is very good at observing people's words and expressions. He immediately handed over the contract with both hands.
Mu Nanyue smiled.
"You know how to divert my anger." She took the so-called 'indenture' and tore it to pieces.
What he said was about an internal fight within the Mu family, and the loser was bought by coincidence, and it had nothing to do with the fighting arena.
