It wouldn’t be long before Xue was born, so during this period, she could no longer keep fighting...

At the same time, Wu Wang was about to start purging the aftereffects of the Demon World Flower, so he couldn’t come out either. She could only hope nothing went wrong during this stretch of time...

...

Half a year flowed by like water. Unknowingly, the seclusion of Wu Wang and Mu Ruyue had already lasted for half a year.

In these six months, aside from that one night when a baby’s cry pierced the night sky, everything went back to being quiet...

So quiet it made everyone’s hearts pound in fear...

More than that, the Dan Family actually hadn’t come to cause them trouble.

Right now, in a secret chamber within the Divine Sect, the Black-clothed Man looked at Lin Ruoyu standing before him and said expressionlessly, "It’s been half a year. In this half year, not only did you fail to kill that woman, you haven’t even gotten close to Wu Wang. What use do I have for you?"

Lin Ruoyu pressed her lips tight and argued, "It’s not like you don’t know how many powerful people there are around Mu Ruyue. That woman lives right next to her. I have no way to launch a sneak attack! As for Wu Wang, he went into seclusion as soon as he came back. I simply can’t get near him, so..."

"Don’t give me excuses!"

The Black-clothed Man’s face sank. "I was the one who saved you, so you must pay the corresponding price! Or do you think now that you’ve really become Lin Ruoyu you can forget your former identity? I’ll give you one more task. A few months ago, Mu Ruyue gave birth to a daughter. That girl’s background is extraordinary. Our Dan Family’s Priest has already calculated her fate. You are to steal her out for me immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

As his words fell, the Black-clothed Man gave Lin Ruoyu’s pale face one last look, then lifted his feet and walked out the door...

Staring at that disappearing back, Lin Ruoyu’s features twisted.

If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t be under the Dan Family’s threat at all!

So she absolutely would not let those people off!

...

Inside the bedchamber, Mu Ruyue gently patted the swaddled baby in her arms, a soft smile curving her lips.

Xiao Yue looked at the little baby in her arms, open amazement undisguised in his eyes.

"Master, this little baby is really adorable, like a pink jade doll. As expected of the child of you and Master Wuchen. It’s just, why is she a bit different from when Huanghui was born?"

Ye Sihuang hadn’t been an ordinary baby the moment he was born, and Xue was just as unusual. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tried again and again to drag her out after Master conceived her. Yet now she seemed like a completely ordinary child; you couldn’t see any difference from other infants...

Xue’s round eyes were wide open as she raised her chubby little hand, trying to touch Mu Ruyue’s face. She giggled, looking no different from a normal baby...

"Xiao Yue, Xue and Huanghui were never the same. When I was pregnant with Huanghui, he already had memories and his own consciousness. He couldn’t send his voice to me, but I knew he wasn’t a normal infant. But Xue is different. After she was born, she didn’t have any memories at all. Still, I know she’s not an ordinary person..."

Mu Ruyue smiled, that smile stunningly beautiful. "But no matter who she is, she is the daughter of Wuchen and me, the daughter I’d risk everything to protect..."

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Lin Ruoyu rushed in, panting, and said anxiously, "Yue’er, something big has happened."
