Chapter 307: Chapter 304: A Frog in a Well

"Consider yourself honored. In this Mortal District, there aren’t many women qualified to be my plaything. You’re one of them, and the very first."

As he spoke, the man gestured, and the longsword pinning Mu He flew back into his hand.

Seeing this, Mu Xue hurried forward to check on Mu He’s injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still alive.

"As for you..." The man turned to Mu Xue. "You look pretty good, too, but without comparison, there’s no distinction. You’re not worthy."

’I’m not worthy?’

An unknown flame of anger ignited in Mu Xue’s heart.

When had she ever been belittled like this?

But anger was one thing; she wasn’t about to lose her senses.

Even Mu He, with his Vajra Realm Cultivation, had been defeated in a single blow. What could she possibly do?

Moreover, she had heard two words from the man’s mouth that were both shocking and unexpected.

Mortal District!

The implication was that this group of people was not from the Mountain and Sea Empire.

As the adopted daughter of Mu Kongfu, the headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Mu Xue knew many secrets—for example, the Hall of Envoys.

At this thought, the anger in Mu Xue’s heart instantly vanished.

It wasn’t relief, but resignation and powerlessness.

The Hall of Envoys, rumored to be the spokespeople for the Immortals.

To put it more simply and directly, they were the ultimate superiors of the Mountain and Sea Empire.

If these five people before her were truly from the Hall of Envoys, then they were indeed qualified to say she was unworthy.

"Are you from the Hall of Envoys?" Mu Xue asked in a low voice.

"Hm? You can actually tell our origin? It seems your status in this Mortal District isn’t so simple."

Hearing the man’s admission, Mu Xue’s heart sank. She discreetly cut her fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood and letting it fall to the ground.

"Alright, Jun. We have important matters to attend to. We don’t have much time to waste here." At that moment, the young man in the Golden Brocade Robe spoke up.

Hearing this, the man quickly wiped the smile from his face. "Yes, Big Brother. But she..."

The man pointed at Niu Kexin, his expression one of reluctance.

The young man knew his younger brother’s temperament well—he was never happy without a woman. He frowned. "Just bring her along."

The man was overjoyed. "Thank you for indulging me, Big Brother!"

From start to finish, they never asked for Niu Kexin’s opinion, not even a single word, nor did they care if she agreed. Their casual indifference was like that of a human regarding livestock or poultry.

"I think you’ve misunderstood something. I’m not going with you," Niu Kexin said as she continuously backed away from them.

The man sneered. "Whether you go or not isn’t up to you. Besides, do you have any idea who I am? Do you know how noble our status is? You ignorant mortal!"

Niu Kexin: "I have no interest in who you are, and your status has even less to do with me."

After a pause, she added, "By the way, I have a husband. Since your status is so noble, surely you wouldn’t be interested in a married woman like me, would you?"

The man was stunned. A married woman?

This actually struck a chord with him. Although he had a fondness for women, it was just as he’d said: not every woman was qualified for his favor.

Never mind the high standards he had for talent and looks; at the very least, she had to be a virgin.

If she wasn’t even a virgin, then there was no need to proceed further.

"How unlucky!" the man cursed under his breath.

Just then, a cloaked figure approached and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What? One hundred percent compatibility? Are you sure?" the man exclaimed, his expression growing excited.

"This subordinate is certain! The True Essence fluctuations this woman is exhibiting are a one hundred percent match with you!"

Now, not only was the man so shocked his jaw dropped, but even the young man in the brocade robe beside him showed a stunned expression.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! To think I’d run into such great fortune right after arriving in the Mortal District! The heavens have not been unkind to me, Huangfu Jun!" the man roared with laughter.

The way he looked at Niu Kexin now was as if he were gazing upon a heaven-shaking treasure, his eyes filled with joy, excitement, and greed.

Compared to one hundred percent compatibility, whether she was a virgin or not had become completely irrelevant.

"Congratulations, Jun," the young man said, patting Huangfu Jun’s shoulder in gratification.

Huangfu Jun laughed. "It must be the good luck you brought me, Big Brother."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" the young man asked, puzzled.

"Didn’t you come this time to find your one hundred percent compatible Furnace Cauldron? They say good things come in pairs. I must have benefited from your good fortune."

The young man let out a light laugh and said, "I’m not like you. That Furnace Cauldron of mine is no ordinary woman."

"Isn’t it just that little devil Liu Ruyan? The Liu Family has already accepted the betrothal gifts. Are you still afraid she won’t submit?"

The young man shook his head. "Don’t forget about that old codger. As long as that old man is still around, I can’t use force."

"Then just get rid of him!" A cold glint flashed in Huangfu Jun’s eyes.

"Jun!" The young man’s face darkened. "Don’t you ever mention that again!"

Huangfu Jun froze, a little baffled.

’Hasn’t getting rid of the old codger always been your wish?’

But faced with the young man’s sharp gaze, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The conversation between them made both Niu Kexin’s and Mu Xue’s faces change, especially Niu Kexin’s.

These people actually knew Ruyan!

And they were planning to treat her and Ruyan as some kind of Furnace Cauldrons! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

How despicable!

"Remember this. My name is Huangfu Jun, and this is my big brother, Huangfu Yu." In a flash, Huangfu Jun appeared in front of Niu Kexin, blocking her path.

"You might not know what the surname ’Huangfu’ means, but that’s alright. You’ll understand soon enough."

"Now, come with me. Be my woman, and I will bestow upon you an Immortal’s fate, granting you supreme glory and status!"

Niu Kexin looked at Huangfu Jun with utter disgust. If not for her lack of strength, she really would have slapped him to death.

In this world, aside from Mo Qi, any man who had designs on her would only make her feel revulsion and disgust.

"I have a husband!" Niu Kexin stressed again. "And I don’t have the slightest interest in the Immortal’s fate, glory, or status you speak of."

"Husband?" Huangfu Jun was dismissive. "Just a mortal ant. Killing him is a simple matter."

"Hah!" Niu Kexin laughed. "Kill him? You think you can?"

"I may not know what the Hall of Envoys is, and I don’t know what status you hold, but compared to him, you’re not even worth a single one of his hairs. No, you’re not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him at all!"

When she spoke of Mo Qi, Niu Kexin’s expression immediately became radiant, her face filled with tenderness and love.

"Nonsense! Frog in a well!" Huangfu Jun was enraged. If Niu Kexin wasn’t a one hundred percent match for him, he would have sent her to Hell for that sentence alone.

Niu Kexin couldn’t be bothered to say any more. As for who was truly the frog in the well, she had her own judgment.

"Fine. You think your husband is so great, don’t you? Let’s go. Take me to him. I want you to see with your own eyes who’s strong and who’s weak, and who isn’t fit to be compared to whose hair!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted around them.

"Hm?"

The expressions on Huangfu Jun and the others changed. They turned to look and saw Mu Xue, with Mu He on her back, disappearing from her original spot.
