My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Regretful Emperor Zi Yue

After uttering those words, the beautiful woman with white hair spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her gaze gradually becoming vacant. If there was an afterlife, she resolved not to crave power nor to fall in love with a man she shouldn’t, instead living a peaceful life solely with her sister…

Slowly closing her eyes, a smile of relief curled the corners of her lips.

From now on, she would no longer need to work for him, nor would she have to watch him bed virgin after virgin, nor would she suffer such agony…

Emperor Zi Yue, witnessing the fall of these two Holy Maiden Sect powerhouses, was instantly petrified. Suddenly, he caught the gaze of Ye Wuchen, which sent a shiver through his spine, and he was overcome with terror.

“What do you intend to do? I am the Emperor of Purple Moon Country, do you dare to commit such an act of insubordination?”

Mu Ruyue shook her head helplessly, not understanding how the Emperor managed to end up in this situation. Ye Wuchen dared to kill members of the Holy Maiden Sect, so why should he fear this insignificant Emperor?

“Emperor, I hear you’ve detained someone from Qingyun Sect?”

Just when everyone thought the matter could be settled, an angry voice came from outside the palace gates. As people turned to look, they saw Elder Zhao from Qingyun Sect charging inside.

Emperor Zi Yue recognized the people from Qingyun Sect and was momentarily stunned: “Old Sir Zhao, I have not detained anyone from your Qingyun Sect, do you know where they might be now?”

“Hmph!” Elder Zhao snorted coldly, his gaze shifting and falling upon Mu Ruyue. Seeing she was unharmed, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, “Miss Mu, it’s truly good to see you’re safe. Just now, your house’s Li Lu came to find me, saying there might have been an issue with you; it scared me to death. If something had happened to you, how would I explain to Master Wu Yu? That old fellow is extremely protective by nature, what if he learned his prized disciple was in danger? He would surely obliterate Purple Moon Country in retaliation, wouldn’t he?”

At this, Elder Zhao became somewhat indignant. How audacious was the Emperor of Purple Moon Country, daring to bully Master Wu Yu’s treasured disciple! Everyone knows that the old man only has this one beloved disciple. He holds her as if she were in his mouth, afraid she’ll melt, cradles her in his palm, afraid she’ll fall. If he learns she has been mistreated, wouldn’t the consequences be dire?

A small Purple Moon Country, how could it withstand the wrath of that old fellow? Perhaps in a fit of rage, he would destroy the entire nation, and with Master Wu Yu’s temperament, this was not beyond the realms of possibility.

Elder Zhao revealed everything with his speech, causing Emperor Zi Yue’s complexion to go pale and his steps to falter, nearly collapsing to the ground.

“Old… Old Sir Zhao, you’re saying she is Master Wu Yu’s, the chief alchemist of Qingyun Sect, prized disciple?”

Did it have to be so terrifying? What sort of disaster had he captured? If Qingyun Sect found out, he would no longer be fit to be Emperor.

It was a joke that, previously, merely because Ye Tianfeng was a disciple of Master Tian Yuan, the Emperor had not dared to offend him lightly, hence why he initially agreed to his request to call off the engagement, and then went back on his word due to his later regret.

It was laughable that Ye Tianfeng took his status for granted, and Mu Tingting wanted to use this to ingratiate herself with Master Tian Yuan of Qingyun Sect. Little did anyone know that the Mu family’s least favored eldest daughter would suddenly become the chief alchemist’s disciple.

The status of the chief alchemist, compared to Master Tian Yuan, was like the difference between heaven and earth.

But what had he just done?

Thinking back on his actions, Emperor Zi Yue shuddered violently…
