[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 46

Chapter 46: Vain Grief

Raging Tide Poison, Raging Tide Poison…

After finishing his wine, Wu Qing left without even saying goodbye. Xue Mu chased him for two miles using her lightness skill, but still couldn’t catch up.

Thinking about the name of this Fire Poison, she returned to the private room. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Xue Wuluo and Mu Ruo lying on the bed. “You… you two?”

Xue Wuluo put on her mask and lowered her head. “Young Mistress.” With that, she went out.

Propping her head on her hand, Mu Ruo looked at Xue Mu entering the door, half-leaning on the bedding. “You’re here. Did you have a good chat with that Big Brother?”

Xue Mu frowned and closed the door, asking her, “Do you know who he is?”

“I know, a wandering swordsman of the Jianghu.” Mu Ruo’s expression was indifferent, beckoning to her. “Come sit here.”

Xue Mu walked over. “He is no simple swordsman.”

“I know, his kung fu with wooden chopsticks is amazing,” Mu Ruo said. “Did you hear him talk about some strange people and strange events again?”

Xue Mu recounted in detail what Wu Qing said about the snow falling in the desert of the Western Regions. Mu Ruo listened quietly, her gaze resting on Xue Mu’s neck.

Xue Mu didn’t mention that Wu Qing taught her the mantras. She smiled and mentioned his romantic debts in the Western Regions. Suddenly, a chill came from her neck. She subconsciously blocked it with the back of her hand, only feeling that Mu Ruo’s finger was extremely cold, and it hurt quite a bit when poking the back of her hand.

“What’s wrong?” Xue Mu said inexplicably.

Mu Ruo smiled and pulled her collar. “It seems things have ‘come naturally’ between you and Dugu Yuan’an.”

Xue Mu pulled her collar back, thinking did Yuan’er leave a mark on my neck? So she said, “After getting married, isn’t it normal for things to ‘come naturally’?”

“Yes, very normal,” Mu Ruo said with a beaming smile. “It seems you don’t think it was ‘torture’.”

It wasn’t at the time, but after resting, it was torture. Xue Mu thought to herself and said, “It was okay, not as scary as you said.”

Mu Ruo smiled for a while, then the corners of her mouth slowly dropped. She stood up and walked to the guqin set aside, sat down, and plucked the strings with her fingertips. Listening to the melodious and sorrowful tune, Xue Mu also felt sad for her. Mu Ruo always had a lot on her mind and didn’t talk much to outsiders. Whenever she confided, it was either to her or to Xue Wuluo.

Xue Wuluo was also dull; Xue Mu suspected she didn’t know how to comfort people at all.

Mu Ruo hummed a little tune softly, singing “Alone like duckweed, nowhere to return,” singing “A wisp of lonely shadow, reflecting grief,” singing “For whom to complain of sorrow, for whom to add worry and bitterness,” singing “Vague in dreams, where is the old friend hiding”…

After the song ended, Mu Ruo lowered her eyes and stared blankly at the strings without speaking. After a moment, Xue Mu whispered, “A-Ruo, are you feeling very uncomfortable in your heart?”

Mu Ruo was silent for a long time before saying, “I’m not uncomfortable.”

Xue Mu: “Ah…?”

Mu Ruo left the guqin, went to the window to look at the brightly lit street outside, and whispered, “Old friends are not old friends, being alone is not being solitary. Little Treasure, no matter what, I am grateful to the Xue Manor for raising me.”

Xue Mu frowned subconsciously. She walked a few steps forward and said to Mu Ruo, “Are you tired of staying in the Xue Star Tower?”

“If I wanted to say that I want to travel all over the magnificent mountains and rivers, would you support me?” Mu Ruo turned around, smiling faintly.

Xue Mu thought for a moment and said to her, “A-Ruo, it’s too dangerous for you to go out alone… How about this? Later, at the Discourse on the Dao Conference at Huangding Mountain, many heroes of the Jianghu will go. You follow me and the people from the Dugu Manor to watch. On the way, you can also see the beautiful scenery of other places.”

Mu Ruo gazed at her for a while and nodded. “Okay.”

Xue Mu made a face. “I’ll ask Xue Wuluo to accompany you to play on the street. I have to go back to the Dugu Manor.”

Mu Ruo laughed involuntarily. “Are you charmed by Dugu Yuan’an?”

Xue Mu laughed loudly. “Yes, anyway, the arrow is on the string, I can only loose it. It’s the same now that we’re married. Yuan’er treats me extremely well, and I like her too… In short, I didn’t object much to this marriage at the time.”

Mu Ruo nodded. “As long as you are happy.”

Xue Mu turned around and said, “Then I’m going down. Don’t bully Wuluo all the time.”

Mu Ruo said, “When did I bully her?”

Xue Mu snorted and pushed the door open to leave.

She asked Xue Wuluo to go to the private room to find Mu Ruo, while she rode her horse back to the Dugu Manor. As soon as she returned to the small courtyard, she saw Dugu Yuan’an standing in the middle with double crutches, looking up at the night sky. Seeing Xue Mu return, she smiled slightly. “Did anyone suspect why you didn’t appear for three days?”

Seeing no one else in the small courtyard, Xue Mu went up to tickle her. Using the double crutches, Dugu Yuan’an flew to the door of the house under Xue Mu’s nose, her feet landing steadily on the ground. But Xue Mu knew she was only relying on internal kung fu and crutches to stand there; it was impossible for her to take two steps.

“You ate me clean and wiped your mouth, yet you still ask me such a shameful question. Aren’t you ashamed?” Xue Mu snorted, striding towards the smiling Dugu Yuan’an. “Just you wait. When my internal energy improves, I’ll handle you properly!”

Dugu Yuan’an raised her eyebrows. “Will that day come?”

Xue Mu said confidently, “Of course it will!”

Dugu Yuan’an pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and said, “Does Mu’er know that when your internal energy rises, my skill will also increase? In this case, how can Mu’er handle me properly?”

Hearing the calmness in her words that she wouldn’t be counter-suppressed, Xue Mu shouted, “That’s not fair! You… Anyway I… I will handle you too!”

Dugu Yuan’an sighed. “My knees hurt so much. I’m going back to rest.”

With that, she turned and walked inside. Xue Mu hurriedly followed her.

It wasn’t until Dugu Yuan’an sat on the edge of the bed that Xue Mu squatted down to gently rub her knees and said, “Do you know what I learned and found out today?”

“What kung fu did Head Manager Xue teach you again?” Dugu Yuan’an said.

“I learned sword techniques today, but that’s not what I want to talk about the most—Yuan’er, I know what the Fire Poison in my body is.” Xue Mu recounted what Wu Qing said and did to her in the Xue Star Tower one by one. Hearing “Wu Qing expelled internal force,” Dugu Yuan’an reached out and pressed two acupoints on the front of Xue Mu’s body, sensing her internal breath, looking quite astonished.

This Dharma King Wu Qing’s internal energy was countless times deeper than her father’s, and it was the purest Extreme Yang energy. Although it came into contact with her Soul Cold internal energy, there was no conflict, circulating peacefully in Mu’er’s body just like that.

However, since he sent internal energy to Mu’er, he naturally also sensed the other Yin and cold internal energy in her body. If this person knew so much about the Fire Poison in Mu’er’s body, it was impossible for him not to have had contact with the person who injured Mu’er. If he was the person who injured Mu’er, then Mu’er still being alive would expose that the other child who was with her was also alive in this world—

Thoughts spun rapidly in her mind. The more Dugu Yuan’an thought, the more alarmed she became, and cold sweat instantly flowed down from her forehead.
