Chapter 2070: Chapter 2070: The Overbearing Madam Wang! Let’s Go Back! Phoenix Pulls the Car!
"You saved my daughter?"
After listening to Wang Qingxue, Madam Wang immediately swept an appraising gaze over Mu Jinyu.
In those beautiful eyes, there was suspicion and vigilance.
As if she was afraid that Mu Jinyu’s act of saving her daughter was actually part of some scheme.
Harboring ulterior motives.
"It was just a coincidence."
Being stared at like that by Madam Wang made Mu Jinyu feel very uncomfortable; he slightly lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Mother, don’t be like that..."
When Wang Qingxue first saw her mother appear, she had been extremely excited and elated.
But seeing that her mother seemed somewhat prejudiced against Mu Jinyu, she couldn’t help but knit her brows slightly, gently shaking her mother’s arm as she spoke in a coquettish tone.
"Mm."
Hearing Wang Qingxue’s words, Madam Wang’s sharp, forceful aura instantly dissipated.
Her whole being became gentle again, like a piece of warm, lustrous jade.
"Since you’re Little Xue’s lifesaving benefactor, then no matter what, you must come back with us once, so we can properly entertain you! To thank you for saving her life."
Madam Wang spoke in a gentle voice.
Although her tone was no longer as overbearing and sharp as before,
these words, spoken so softly, still let Mu Jinyu hear an undeniable domineeringness in them.
Though phrased as a discussion and invitation, in reality it was a decision, not to be refused!
Once she spoke, everyone had to obey!
It was obvious this was the commanding air Madam Wang had cultivated through many years of life in the Royal Mansion.
"There’s really no need. We just crossed paths by chance, and I simply lent a hand as the situation flowed; there’s no need to take it so seriously. I still have urgent matters to attend to right now, so let’s gather another day instead..."
Even though Mu Jinyu could hear that undeniable overbearingness in Madam Wang’s words, he still didn’t want to be manipulated by her and still wanted to refuse and leave.
"Hm? You intend to refuse me?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Madam Wang’s Liu Mei arched; a terrifying aura immediately surged toward Mu Jinyu, pressing down like a sky-covering wave.
After a slight pause, Madam Wang said in a deep voice, "What urgent matter could be more important than attending our Royal Mansion’s thank-you banquet? Tell me what you need to do, and I’ll have people take care of it for you!"
"Mother~"
Hearing her mother speak to Mu Jinyu in such a domineering tone, Wang Qingxue immediately felt displeased. She hurriedly shook her mother’s arm, signaling her not to be like this.
But Madam Wang had already lost her temper; she directly flung off Wang Qingxue’s arm and stared at Mu Jinyu with icy eyes.
To see what he could possibly say.
Facing this suffocating pressure from Madam Wang, Mu Jinyu also felt it incomparably heavy.
He thought about making up some lie, like having a friend waiting for him to rescue, or needing to search for something.
But before those words even left his mouth, he felt that under Madam Wang’s sharp gaze, she would see through whether he was lying at a glance.
Besides, if it was a matter of saving someone, with his mere Life and Death Realm cultivation, she could easily take the opportunity to have Uncle Dong or others go save them for him.
And have him wait in peace at her Royal Mansion!
Such a lie would be completely meaningless.
"Nothing, is there? Then come with us!"
Madam Wang gave Mu Jinyu a long, deep look, her eyes carrying a trace of contempt and disdain.
She held such men, who lost their nerve and lied through their teeth at the crucial moment, in great disdain!
Just because he accidentally saved her daughter’s life, he actually dared to delusionally dream of becoming her son-in-law?
Dream on!
Her daughter was destined to marry some great figure from the Ten Great Strong Races, someone resplendent and dazzling!
"Let’s go!! Mu Brothers, if there’s anything, just tell us and we’ll help you handle it!"
"That’s right, this is your first time in the Central Domain, you’re not familiar with anything, so just let us handle it!"
Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding, seeing this scene, had the corners of their mouths curl up slightly in schadenfreude. Then they grabbed Mu Jinyu by the arms and walked him toward Madam Wang and the others.
Mu Jinyu wanted, at this moment, to resist and struggle, not go along with them.
But he knew that if he dared to make any sudden move, he might immediately end up dying in the street!
In this ancient city, people were not allowed to make a move.
But that only applied to ordinary folks.
For Madam Wang, she clearly wouldn’t care about those rules meant to restrain common people.
So Mu Jinyu could only grit his teeth and silently follow along.
"Let’s go!"
Madam Wang gave Mu Jinyu another deep look, then turned around and walked forward.
Next, the four women dressed as maids at her side took out an incredibly luxurious Phoenix Carriage.
Madam Wang lifted the curtain and sat inside.
"Little Xue, come in."
After sitting in the Phoenix Carriage, Madam Wang softly called to her daughter.
Wang Qingxue responded with an "Eh," called out "wait a moment," then sent a voice transmission to Mu Jinyu:
"Jinyu, don’t worry. With me here, they won’t do anything to you. My mother is actually a good person, she just became like this after suffering some blows, but she really doesn’t mean any harm!"
With that, Wang Qingxue blinked at Mu Jinyu in a comforting way, then quickly ran into the Phoenix Carriage!
Of course Wang Qingxue could see Mu Jinyu’s rejection and dissatisfaction at this moment.
Putting herself in his place, she felt that if she encountered the same situation as Mu Jinyu, she would also feel greatly wronged and uncomfortable.
So she too wanted Mu Jinyu to just leave.
But there was nothing she could do.
From the moment Madam Wang appeared, the situation was no longer under her control; she could only do her best to persuade her mother not to go too far.
And if they really intended to harm Mu Jinyu, she would swear to protect him to the death.
After all, Mu Jinyu was her lifesaving benefactor; if he were to suffer unjust treatment because he saved her, she would rather die than let anything happen to him.
Wang Qingxue made up her mind in her heart!
"Rise!!"
After Wang Qingxue also entered the Phoenix Carriage, Madam Wang called out softly, "rise," and at once, those four maid-dressed women’s bodies shifted.
They transformed into four Spirit Beasts.
Each somewhat similar to Phoenixes and Qingluan-like divine birds; then they pulled the Phoenix Carriage and took the lead, flying forward.
This scene, even with Mu Jinyu in a very foul mood, still left him deeply astonished.
Were they from the Demon Race?
He thought to himself that he actually hadn’t noticed earlier that these four girls could turn into divine-bird immortal fowl.
If they weren’t from the Demon Race, it really wouldn’t make sense.
At this moment, Uncle Ding and the others saw Mu Jinyu’s astonishment and also knew what he was surprised about. Smiling, they patted his shoulder, then pushed him forward with them while explaining:
"They’re not Phoenix Maiden of the Demon Race, they’re half-Foreign Clan like us. They count as Half-Demon Tribe, just that their bloodline is similar to a Divine Essence Phoenix and the like, a sort of half-demon with related bloodline!"
Hearing this explanation, Mu Jinyu also understood.
Indeed, that was the only way it made sense.
If they were truly Phoenix Girl, how could they be pulling a carriage for Madam Wang?
It was simply impossible!
After all, how noble was a pure Phoenix Girl?
Even within the Demon Race, they stood lofty and high above.
And Madam Wang was just a Human Race; even if she was a concubine of some mighty expert from the Divine Race, there was no way she could have a Phoenix Girl pull her carriage.
Even her husband, that Divine Race powerhouse, wouldn’t dare do such a thing.
But even so, her current actions were still a bit over the line.
If this was ever seen by a Great Demon from the Phoenix Lineage within the Demon Race, it would definitely bring down great calamity!
