Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Jia Mu’s Mother
On Ice Soul’s face was a trace of helplessness as she gazed at Jia Mu.
"Jia Mu, retreat quickly! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"I won’t! I won’t retreat! If you’re going to kill, just kill me. I’m willing to offer my life in exchange for Brother Ye Chen’s life!"
Jia Mu desperately shook her head while speaking.
Even with Ice Soul’s good temper, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger: "Jia Mu, you must understand! You can’t stop me! This human must die today!"
"Frozen!"
A frigid ice blast hit Jia Mu, instantly freezing her into an ice block.
"Holy Wood Tier Three, Resurrection!"
A green light burst from Jia Mu’s body, shining through the ice block.
Crack, crack, the sound of ice shattering rang out.
Bang!
The green light shattered the ice block into pieces.
Jia Mu broke free from the ice, running once again to Ye Chen’s side, standing in front of him.
"Extreme Winter!"
Ice Soul continuously blasted icy air onto Jia Mu, the frigid air causing Jia Mu to shiver involuntarily.
"Freeze!"
With a low shout from Ice Soul, an even larger ice block completely encased Jia Mu in ice.
"Hmph, let’s see who can save you now!" Ice Soul waved her right hand, pushing Jia Mu aside.
Ye Chen’s eyes remained fixed on Ice Soul, as he summoned Blood Asura and Dark Princess, prepared for a fight to the death.
"Ye Chen! Prepare to die!"
The Ice Soul Sword appeared suddenly, and Ice Soul angrily hushed.
"Ice Soul Celestial, please hold your hand!"
A voice, extremely gentle, echoed, followed by a green silhouette descending.
A woman in a long green gown slowly walked in, followed by a three-legged bird.
Everyone, upon seeing the woman, felt their hearts tremble, their pupils drastically enlarging!
"Another powerful one!"
[Yu Mu]
Level: LV87
Tier: Monarch
Combat Power: 700,000
Blood Volume: 9,900,000
Race: Holy Wood Race
A top race of Tier Two, the same race Jia Mu belongs to.
Ye Chen looked at Yu Mu, noticing a surprising resemblance between her brows and Jia Mu’s.
Yu Mu appeared only slightly older than thirty, but both her appearance and figure were not inferior to those in their early twenties.
Especially that noble, mature aura, which was unparalleled.
If Ice Soul gave the impression of regal aloofness, then Yu Mu was amicable and approachable, yet also unapproachable.
Seeing Yu Mu, Ice Soul said displeasedly: "Yu Mu, what are you doing here?"
Though Ice Soul said this, she still sheathed the Ice Soul Sword in her hand.
Yu Mu glanced at Jia Mu, who was encased in ice, waved a long sleeve, and a green light melted the ice block instantly.
Jia Mu, freed from the ice, cried as she ran to Yu Mu, hugging her tightly around the waist, crying out: "Mom! Mom! I thought you weren’t coming! I, I missed you so much!"
"Mom?"
"Mom?"
Everyone was instantly shocked!
Except for Ice Soul, who was relatively calm, everyone else looked stunned, feeling incredulous.
"This! This LV87 powerhouse, it’s actually Jia Mu’s mother!"
"This! How is this possible!"
Ye Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart; although he could tell Jia Mu was unusual before, he never expected her mother would be an LV87 powerhouse!
Hong Ye and Zhang Zheng exchanged glances, smiling wryly.
Yu Mu lovingly patted Jia Mu’s head, gently saying, "Alright, stop crying, isn’t Mom here now? Stop crying, be good, stand up, there are so many people watching, what’s the matter with you acting like this."
Jia Mu coquettishly shook her head, murmuring, twisting her body, and pouting, "No, no! Let them watch, just let me hug you for a while!"
Yu Mu shook her head helplessly, saying nothing, continuing to hold Jia Mu in her arms.
It was clear that Yu Mu held an extreme fondness for Jia Mu.
Ice Soul maintained a cold expression, offering no words.
Ye Chen had a hypothesis.
"Perhaps this Ice Soul had already guessed, otherwise why would she act like this? A mere LV30 Lord level monster is nothing to Ice Soul, yet she never laid a hand on Jia Mu, perhaps she knew all along."
Ye Chen speculated to himself, and his guess was more or less accurate.
Yu Mu turned to Ice Soul, covering her smile and said: "Apologies, Ice Soul Celestial, for troubling you. I am willing to offer compensation for today’s events."
"Humph! Compensation! How do you plan to compensate? Yu Mu, I advise you to watch over your beloved daughter closely, or else you won’t even realize if she gets whisked away by a human. Just now, when I was about to kill this human, your daughter was protecting him with her life, openly calling him Brother Ye Chen, sounding so intimate!" Ice Soul said slightly mockingly.
Internally, Ye Chen couldn’t help but curse, knowing Ice Soul was deflecting attention, hoping Yu Mu would turn against him.
Any mother seeing her daughter acting like this for a guy might feel uneasy!
Ye Chen braced himself for an interrogation from Yu Mu.
But to his surprise, Yu Mu only glanced at Ye Chen lightly and then turned to Ice Soul with a smile: "I’m sorry, Ice Soul Celestial, for troubling you with my daughter. I’ll educate my daughter myself, so no one else needs to worry. Thank you for your concern."
Hiss!
Hong Ye gasped sharply!
Her heart was immensely shocked: "What a godly mother! What a godly mother-in-law! If someone had such a mother-in-law, they’d probably laugh in their sleep!"
Hong Ye’s gaze at Ye Chen immediately changed.
Ye Chen also looked at Yu Mu with some surprise.
This was speaking the most domineering words in the gentlest tone?
It seemed Jia Mu held an extraordinarily high position in Yu Mu’s heart!
My daughter, I’ll take care of her myself, no need for anyone else’s concern!
Two words: domineering! Three words: truly domineering! Four words: overflowing with dominance!
Ice Soul’s face froze momentarily, biting her lip, saying nothing more.
Yu Mu pulled out a blue fruit, handed it to Ice Soul with a smile, and said: "This fruit is my apology. Please, Ice Soul, accept it and let the humans go."
Everyone gazed at the fruit, eyes full of shock.
The fruit shone with specks of golden light all over, clearly showing it was extraordinary.
Definitely a top-tier celestial fruit!
When Ice Soul saw the fruit, her pupils shook, the desire in her eyes was palpable.
However, Ice Soul didn’t accept it. If so many outside creatures saw her being bought off by a single fruit, what would become of her? Wouldn’t that diminish her status as a leader?
Yu Mu naturally saw through Ice Soul’s inner thoughts, turning to the others and saying: "Hurry and apologize sincerely to the Ice Soul Celestial. With her benevolence, she wouldn’t make things difficult for you!"
Truly a powerful figure, even the way she spoke was so skillful. These words generously gave Ice Soul ample face, making it difficult for her not to release them, as doing so would seem unkind.
