Target multiple organizations in one go?
How many enemies does that make?
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Yu Shenfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
He felt that even if he were to manage Dragon King Hall and Slaughter Redemption on behalf of Mu Jinyu, he might not be able to confront these organizations' power head-on. Let alone Dragon King Hall, which was managed by Mu Hongchen, he was merely managing the Assassin Alliance. How could he possibly contend with these organizations?
With a wry smile, Yu Shenfeng said, "I'll do my best."
"Mhm." Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "It's not like I'm asking you to wipe them out for sure. Just cause them some trouble when the opportunity arises, a bit of revenge. As for truly wiping them out, we can see about that when I return. What you really need to do is help me locate their main bases."
Listening to Mu Jinyu, Yu Shenfeng felt the pressure lessen. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Alright, I'll try to find the main bases of these organizations for you by the time you return from Kunlun Ruins."
Mu Jinyu nodded, "Also, there are too many ferocious beasts running rampant now. I have to leave Huaxia and head to Kunlun Ruins, but I can't help worrying about my family, lest Ye Wushuang seeks revenge. I definitely won't let them go out to slay the beasts anymore. But without other help, I'm afraid these beasts might rampage like they do overseas, causing over a million deaths and injuries..."
As Yu Shenfeng listened to Mu Jinyu, he understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. I'm also a Huaxia person and won't stand by while our homeland suffers. I'll contact friends from the Divine Rankings to see if they can exterminate these beasts. If not, we'll drive the beasts to the steppes and leave them be for the time being... Let's avoid stepping on each other's toes in the future!"
"Thank you for your trouble!" Mu Jinyu gave Yu Shenfeng an apologetic smile.
Yu Shenfeng waved his hand, indicating it was no trouble, and then asked, "Does the Dragon Master have any other instructions?"
"That's all for now. I'll still be at Yinlong Mountain these next few days. In the meantime, I'll consider if there's anything I've overlooked. If there is, I'll send a message to consult with you," Mu Jinyu shook his head.
"Alright then, if you have any other instructions, you can contact me. I'll take my leave for now."
Yu Shenfeng didn't drag his feet, knowing that the tasks Mu Jinyu had entrusted to him were numerous. He not only had to control Slaughter Redemption but also deal with those organizations, and moreover, he had to ensure the security of Huaxia so that the ferocious beasts could not wreak havoc. He had to act immediately.
Once Yu Shenfeng was sure Mu Jinyu had no further instructions, he left with Qiu Bai, Chen Xiuying, and Zhu Yeqing.
Watching them leave, Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze and didn't bother to check on Jian Ruyan.
Instead, he frowned slightly, carefully considering the implications of his premature departure from Huaxia to Kunlun Ruins and what contingency plans were needed to ensure that the overall situation wouldn't fall into disorder.
As he thought, he took out his phone, thought of Wen Rou who had suddenly returned, and sent messages to Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, and Third-Rate Unknown, who were outside slaying ferocious beasts, telling them to come back.
Seeing Mu Jinyu deep in thought, Su Zijin and the others didn't disturb him and continued to discuss women's matters.
Yu Linglong looked at Wen Rou, who had a shy expression and cheeks flushed with bashfulness, and jested, "Seeing Sister Ruyan's face and witnessing such a coy expression, it really takes some getting used to. By the way, Xiaorou, should you ever feel inclined, do you think Jinyu would accept it from you?"
"Oh yes, Ruyan isn't just any woman, she's the younger sister of our uncle. Although Jinyu really enjoys teasing her, he wouldn't dare mess around with her. So, Xiaorou, if that happens, you'll really be in a bind..." Xu Qingya said, offering a sympathetic gaze to Wen Rou.
Wen Rou's already rosy cheeks turned a few shades paler at their words, her face taking on a dazed and bitter expression.
She felt they were right.
If it were any other woman she had swapped bodies with, and if she felt the urge, Mu Jinyu probably wouldn't mind the change in body, but this was Jian Ruyan's body, and Mu Jinyu would certainly not be casual about it.
This meant she had to seek Jian Ruyan's consent.
With any other woman, it might simply mean gaining another sister, but with Jian Ruyan, it clearly seemed unlikely she would agree.
Then, won't she end up a widow for life?
Seeing the uncertainty in Wen Rou's expression, Lin Qiaoxia hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Wen Rou, don't be so pessimistic, maybe Sister Ruyan, she... she might also like Young Master Mu..."
"Impossible..." Yu Linglong and Xu Qingya both shook their heads, as did Su Zijin and Mu Hongchen with similar expressions, "Ruyan has always been particularly close just to her brother, indifferent towards everyone else. If she liked Jinyu, her attitude wouldn't be like this."
Lin Qiaoxia thought that made sense, but unable to bear seeing Wen Rou in distress, she persuaded, "That's because the young uncle is Jian Ruyan's brother, the only living relative she has in this world, so her attitude towards him is the most special. However, her feelings for Jinyu might have always been buried deep in her heart..."
Listening to Lin Qiaoxia's words, Yu Linglong and Xu Qingya couldn't help but roll their eyes, no longer bothering to listen to her nonsense.
Seeing this, Lin Qiaoxia playfully stuck out her tongue, and then kept quiet.
Just then, a soft "meow" broke the silence. "Wen Rou," who was sitting cross-legged among them, suddenly let out a faint moan and slowly opened her eyes, looking blankly at the others.
Her head ached fiercely, reminiscent of a hangover's fragmented memory, many things forgotten.
She tried to concentrate, with only a vague recollection that she watched Mu Jinyu and Ye Wushuang in bloody combat, feeling distressed. She had desperately tried to break the restrictions Ye Wushuang had placed on her, and although Mu Jinyu pursued Ye Wushuang, she never gave up, and then...
Was it something flying towards her?
"Ah!"
Her head throbbed painfully as though about to split open, and it seemed she had forgotten something important. The more she tried to remember, the more pain she felt, so she instinctively raised her hand to cradle her head!
"Sister Ruyan, are you okay?!"
Wen Rou, who had been quite concerned about her future happiness, threw those chaotic thoughts aside when she saw "herself" groaning in pain, and anxiously called out to Jian Ruyan.
She had always been worried about Jian Ruyan.
After all, when Jian Ruyan performed the Soul Snatching Technique on her, she had been at the brink of death – unlike herself, who was in her prime when she snatched the body of Jian Ruyan, unaffected by the ordeal.
And when Jian Ruyan tried to seize her body, although she didn't harm Jian Ruyan, Jian Ruyan was subdued by Mu Jinyu for a while because she had to devour her soul. Wen Rou was unclear if this would have any effect on Jian Ruyan.
So, as Wen Rou saw Jian Ruyan staring at her own face in extreme pain, she also leaned closer, troubled, and asked.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jian Ruyan managed to open her eyes whilst clutching her head, which felt ready to burst, and then...
She saw an extremely familiar face looming before her own, looking at her with a face full of worry and concern!
And this face, it was hers!
"You… I…"
Seeing her own face in front of her, Jian Ruyan fell into a daze, too shocked to even speak...
Only one thought remained, had she died? Therefore, she could see her own corpse?
But that can't be right; how could a corpse talk? Or could it be someone underwent surgery to look just like me?
Who am I? Who is she?
