Chapter 015: How foolish I was back then!

However, in just a moment, he ingratiatingly smiled and said, "Of course, no matter what, I am no match for Master and Junior Brother!"

"Besides, we're not going to snatch any rare spiritual treasures. We just want to join in the fun and pick up some bargains. There are many precious elixirs in the Misty Forest... With my status, as long as I don't compete with those big sects, no one will lay a hand on me."

"This time, when the rare treasure appears, it will definitely attract the pride of the heavens, and we might even see many beautiful women. I heard that even the prodigy from the Jincheng Kingdom, Qian Xue, will come. Ah, just the thought of meeting these beauties and being inspired to paint makes me so excited. Even if I don't get any treasures, it's worth it, right, Master?"

Mu Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Has she heard of the Misty Forest?

Of course, she has!

It can be said that no one is more familiar with the Misty Forest than her in this world.

In her previous life, there was a meteor falling and colorful lights filled the sky.

Powerful individuals from the three countries of Chiyan, Jincheng, and Huangyao gathered in the Misty Forest, hoping to find the treasure of this world.

Later, it was proven that the treasure was indeed extremely precious and rare in the world.

Because it was actually an egg of a sacred beast about to hatch.

In the continent of martial arts, there are wild beasts, exotic beasts, and spiritual beasts, but no one has ever seen a real sacred beast.

Sacred beasts belong only to the world of cultivation.

It can be imagined that whoever obtains a sacred beast can walk sideways in the continent of martial arts.

At that time, Mu Yan was just an inconspicuous profound-level martial artist who came to the Misty Forest just to see and experience it with Qian Xue.

She never thought of competing for the sacred beast egg.

But unexpectedly, the sacred beast egg ended up in her hands due to a series of coincidences.

Thinking of this, the smile on Mu Yan's face turned into deep mockery.

How foolish she was back then!

Clearly, she had obtained the sacred beast egg that everyone dreamed of. As long as she shed blood, she could make the sacred beast recognize her as its master.

But just because of a few sweet words and hopeful eyes from Qian Xue, she eagerly handed the sacred beast egg to her.

Later, the sacred beast hatched and became Qian Xue's contracted beast, allowing her to dominate the continent of martial arts, and no one could rival her again.

"Mother—" Suddenly, a soft call from Xiao Bao came from her ear.

Mu Yan suddenly snapped out of her cold hatred, lowered her head, and saw Xiao Bao's caring big eyes. She couldn't help but soften her heart, and all the hatred was diluted by warmth.

She picked up Xiao Bao and lightly smiled, "Perfect, I also want to go to the Misty Forest. Let's travel together for a while, shall we?"

"Master, it's great that you're staying! What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and prepare the food and drinks!"

The attendants and palace maids looked at their prince with resentment, then timidly glanced at Mu Yan and Xiao Bao before leaving to prepare the food and drinks.

...

"Master, you and Junior Brother are so powerful! I'm just a low-level earth-ranked warrior, and I couldn't even withstand one of your attacks... And Junior Brother, he looks like he's only four or five years old, but he could defeat my chief guard. What's your name, Master? Which country are you from?"

Mu Yan leisurely ate the food and, while serving Xiao Bao, looked at him with a smile that seemed to be both mocking and not.

Being looked at like this, Luo Beiyu immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

His attempt to secretly investigate his master's background had been discovered.

Luo Beiyu remembered Mu Yan's methods and couldn't help but shiver.
