The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 552: Escape from Death

Gong Leitian and others were startled by the sudden thunder overhead.

They looked up and saw, right above the Capital City, where the Demon Evil Array was said to be, countless black clouds were gathering, forming a massive vortex, like a giant tornado of clouds appeared, attracting and swallowing all the black clouds.

As the cloud array grew bigger, the compression in the center intensified, and the thunder above the cloud array became increasingly terrifying.

"Rumble... rumble..."

One thunderclap after another, each one following swiftly; even cultivators were scared, let alone ordinary people who were suddenly faced with this massive Thunder Cloud Formation.

"Oh my God?! It was just clear skies moments ago, how did the weather change so quickly?!"

"Why do I feel like something major has happened?"

"Someone just died and now this strange phenomenon in the sky appears, is this the end of the world?"

"Oh my God, this is terrifying!"

...

Some particularly sensitive children cried loudly, and no amount of comfort could make them stop. The adults vaguely sensed that perhaps the children were frightened by the thunder, so they could only coax them patiently.

Everyone in the Hidden Immortal Sect was on edge. Their sect’s ancestor entered the Demon Evil Array, and now the array was about to break. If the ancestor couldn’t get out, it would be disastrous...

"Bang—"

With an earth-shattering explosion, the Demon Evil Array burst apart.

Countless black clouds suddenly spewed out of the cloud array, and a heavenly crest appeared in the sky as if the sky were torn in half.

For quite a while, Gong Leitian and others couldn’t return to their senses.

Oh my God?!

The Demon Evil Array is broken?!

But... where is Master Uncle?

Gong Leitian stiffened momentarily and then leaped toward the sky, rushing quickly toward the explosion site.

Mu Mingyu and others rushed over at the same time.

"Master Uncle..."

"Master, Master..."

"Great-grandmother, great-grandfather..."

...

Suddenly, Murong shouted, "Found them, they’re here."

Gong Leitian, Mu Mingyu, and others quickly gathered around. In a pile of fallen leaves, Mu Qiuniang was tightly held in Jiang Nuo’s embrace. She was unharmed but his body was covered with cuts and scratches.

A Hidden Immortal Sect disciple quickly took their pulses: "They’re okay; they should have been knocked out by the shockwave and have some spiritual power exhaustion."

When Mu Qiuniang awoke, it was already evening. She lay in a room in the Mu family’s old house, beside her still lay the unconscious Jiang Nuo.

"Master, you’re awake?" The visiting Li Qiqi was delighted, rushed to turn outside, and informed Murong and others.

"Yes, thank you for your effort!" Mu Qiuniang nodded gently at her.

"Master, it’s not us who worked hard, but you and Master who did. If it weren’t for you breaking the Demon Evil Array, we wouldn’t even know what would happen now. Master, you’re so amazing! Everyone will be grateful to you!" Li Qiqi said earnestly.

Outside, Mu Mingyu knocked on the door, saying Gong Leitian and others were there, and asked if it was convenient to enter?

Li Qiqi asked Mu Qiuniang for her opinion.

"I’ll go out to meet them." She glanced at the peacefully sleeping Jiang Nuo and said.

"Then I’ll go tell them, Master; you take your time."

"Yes!"

After Li Qiqi went out, she told everyone that the Master would meet everyone in the living room and asked them to wait there for a while longer, assuring that she would come out soon.

Of course, she didn’t forget to call Murong, reminding him that it would be his turn to watch over Master and Master shortly. Since Master was awake, she would accompany Master while he accompanies Master.

"Alright." Murong had no objections.

Mu Qiuniang changed her clothes and tidied herself before coming out. She saw that besides Gong Leitian, many from the Mu family and representatives from the Hidden Immortal Sect were present.

Mu Mingyu told her that other sects had also sent people over, but he had already entrusted the Hidden Immortal Sect to take full charge.

A disciple from the Hidden Immortal Sect stepped forward to report some actions taken by the Cultivation World upon receiving news of the Demon Evil Array. They were all very grateful for her breaking the array, and as a sign of respect, gifts had been prepared and would be sent over along with a list.

"No need to send them; I lack nothing here, let the Sect Leader handle it directly."

"Yes, Master Aunt."

After the Hidden Immortal Sect disciple finished speaking, Gong Leitian also reported on the emergency measures he took after receiving the message in the special department. However, he regretted that some ordinary people were caught by surprise, presumed it to be an explosion, and were turned into blood mist.

Nevertheless, to prevent this incident from causing a negative influence, he had erased the memories of those who witnessed it.

Mu Qiuniang nodded, "I’m not at liberty to intervene in your matters. Do as the state instructs. If you need support, feel free to ask me."

"Yes, Master Uncle." Gong Leitian nodded. Initially, he wanted to inquire if she was injured, but seeing her turn her head away, not wanting to discuss it further, he held his tongue.

Mu Qiuniang turned her head, facing the concerned inquiries of the Mu family members, and answered them with great patience.

An hour later, Mu Mingyu stated that Great-grandmother had just awakened and needed more rest, so further discussions could happen next time, as he gradually escorted everyone out.

"Great-grandmother, you should rest more." Mu Mingyu somewhat reproved her for facing so many people as soon as she woke up.

"It’s nothing, just some spiritual power exhaustion, a bit of rest will suffice." Mu Qiuniang shook her head.

However, Mu Mingyu insistently stated, "Great-grandmother, there are times when you should show some weakness. You’re not made of iron; you need rest too. Otherwise, people might treat you like a deity, thinking everything requires your intervention. But in reality, you’re not omnipotent, and there are many things that don’t need you to do."

"I just want to do a little more before ascending."

"Great-grandmother, in the past, you were concerned about Great-grandfather, wanting to pave the way for him. Now Great-grandfather has the potential to ascend with you; you’re still so busy. Probably because you want to pave the way for Jingshu, A-Rong, and Qiqi, right? But have you asked them if they even need it? They’re already adults and need space to grow. There are many challenges they must face themselves. If you pave all the roads for them, what will they have to do? Just sit back and enjoy the fruits? But in cultivation, many things require self-exploration and effort; you should be a bit more ruthless."

Mu Qiuniang was quite helpless. Could she say that she was used to being taken care of by her Master and apprentices back then and couldn’t help herself...

"Alright! I understand, I will be more attentive in the future. Am I not already letting you all handle many things while I take a back seat and slack off?"

"That’s how it should be. You are the elder, you just need to give the orders."

...

Li Qiqi, following behind, couldn’t help but chuckle. The housekeeper Mu is indeed formidable, even daring to manage the Master.
