Supreme Tamer

Chapter 820: Chapter 687: Liu Binglan, Awkward Encounter

Chu Mu had recently completed the strengthening of the Wind-binding Spirit and his Soul Power was running low. Not to mention, he was quite drained from performing two consecutive soul pet strengthenings in such a short timeframe.

Thus, after finishing the Emperor Level strengthening of the Wind-binding Spirit and feeling excited for a while, Chu Mu shut himself in his room to mentally adjust.

Chu Mu hadn’t found it odd when Xiang Yunyun mentioned that she would visit. He assumed she wanted to investigate the High-Level Emperor’s affairs.

What caught Chu Mu off guard, however, was that Xiang Yunyun arrived with his own mother! And they talked about introducing a sister who could help him avoid succumbing to evil?

A sister? What kind of joke was this?!

Liu Binglan indeed looked very young, but she was Chu Mu’s mother.

Since childhood, Chu Mu’s impression of Liu Binglan was ingrained in his mind. He usually saw her once or twice a year when he was young. Though they weren’t often together, there was no way he would mistake his own mother!

An odd expression appeared on Chu Mu’s face. He was primarily surprised that Liu Binglan and Xiang Yunyun had come together. Was the temptation Xiang Yunyun initiated that night arranged by Liu Binglan? What was going on? @@novelbin@@

Liu Binglan hadn’t met Madam Xiao yet and didn’t know Chu Mu was there.

Moreover, Liu Binglan never showed interest in worldly affairs. Even though Chu Mu later used the alias Chu Chen and gained fame, she didn’t know much about it.

Chu Mu was at least mentally prepared, knowing Liu Binglan was nearby. However, Liu Binglan hadn’t expected to find Chu Mu here, and was overly surprised upon seeing him.

“Mu’er, how did you end up here?” Liu Binglan’s beautiful face blossomed into a delighted smile. She directly entered the room and walked up to Chu Mu.

“Mu’er?” Xiang Yunyun blinked her eyes, confused as she looked at Liu Binglan. Suddenly, she noticed Liu Binglan’s face lit up with an astonishing smile.

Xiang Yunyun was shocked and covered her mouth. She had known Liu Binglan for quite some time and was aware of her reputation as the Ice Beauty in the High-Level Emperor Camp. Almost no one had ever seen her smile.

Xiang Yunyun mischievously intended to use the stunning beauty of the Ice Beauty and her ethereal, aloof temperament to provoke Chu Mu. She firmly believed that hardly anyone could maintain a calm demeanor in front of such an Ice Beauty, not even women.

To Xiang Yunyun’s bewilderment, the Ice Beauty not only cracked a smile when she saw Chu Mu, but also appeared to be delighted and flustered, unsure of how to respond.

What was happening? The flustered and confused person should have been the supposedly calm Chu Mu, not this mysterious Female Venerate, Liu Binglan. She was an immortal woman that Xiang Yunyun admired, worshipped, and even considered herself unqualified to be jealous of.

Xiang Yunyun had never imagined that there would be anyone in this world who could make such a distant, cold beauty like Liu Binglan flustered and disoriented.

While Xiang Yunyun found the situation extremely unfathomable, Liu Binglan had already reached Chu Mu’s side, giving him a caring embrace.

At this moment, Xiang Yunyun felt as though she might faint. Liu Binglan was known to be so pure that even women couldn’t touch her, yet she took the initiative to embrace a man.

“Uh… Mom…” Chu Mu called out, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chu Mu felt as though Liu Binglan always saw him as an accident-prone toddler.

When Chu Mu was young, Liu Binglan didn’t know how to care for a child and was always cold. She never understood that young Chu Mu needed some tender, loving care. Those were all things in the past, and Chu Mu didn’t hold it against her.

But now that he was grown, there was no need for such affection, right? He felt as if his calm, cool, and collected demeanor had been shattered in an instant, turning him into a pampered little baby.

“You… What did you just call Sister Lan? Did I hear wrong?” Xiang Yunyun stared at Chu Mu as she quickly recovered from her shock and pressed him further.

But Liu Binglan’s gaze swiftly fell on Xiang Yunyun. She knew that Xiang Yunyun enjoyed tempting younger men to deflate their pride.

However, since Xiang Yunyun had directed her mischief at her son, Liu Binglan wasn’t about to let her off easily. After all, it was a heavy blow to a hot-blooded young man’s ego.

“Yunyin, was he the man you met in the Secluded Forest?” Liu Binglan’s tone instantly changed, her voice turning cold and frosty as she asked.

Chu Mu immediately realized something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: “Mom, it’s not what you think. At the time, I just asked her a few questions about flower-type soul pets, and then a high-level Emperor appeared…”

As soon as Xiang Yunyun heard Chu Mu mention it for the second time, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

The cold beauty, whom she admired and considered to have a perfect appearance and a spotless temperament … turned out to be a mother of a twenty-year-old boy!

Chu Mu and Liu Binglan were standing together; if Chu Mu were to call Liu Binglan “older sister”, it wouldn’t be inappropriate at all!

…

It took Xiang Yunyun a long time to accept the truth that the cold beauty was the mother of a young man in his twenties.

Originally, Xiang Yunyun wanted to see how flustered Chu Mu would be in front of a truly mature lady with an immortal-like temperament. But even though she knew Liu Binglan was Chu Mu’s mother, Xiang Yunyun noticed that Liu Binglan was much more uneasy than Chu Mu. For the first time in so many years, Xiang Yunyun saw this peerless and independent icy snow lotus melt, and reveal a side that was just as excited, nervous, and helpless like an ordinary woman.

“No, there’s really nothing.” Chu Mu shook his head firmly.

Liu Binglan was very concerned about her son’s personal life. She asked Chu Mu several times about his relationship with Xiang Yunyun.

Fortunately, Chu Mu was upright and held back that night. If he hadn’t controlled himself and this matter had been discovered by Liu Binglan, Chu Mu would have been truly ashamed.

“Don’t lie to Mom. As a grown-up child, you can’t resist her methods. Don’t worry, Mom will help you get justice.” Liu Binglan, who was spotless, knew what she needed to know. After all, she had been through these life stages herself.

“…” Chu Mu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. How could it be that he looked so uneasy?

“I already have a girlfriend. And I thought it was strange at the time, there really was nothing!” Chu Mu emphasized again.

“Hmm? Already have a girl? What is her name?” Liu Binglan, as if discovering something even more unexpected, asked the question right away.

As a mother, Liu Binglan felt it was her duty to look out for her son’s choice of wife. So when Chu Mu mentioned that he had a girlfriend, Liu Binglan wanted to ask about it thoroughly.

“Let’s talk about all of this slowly later. Can we talk about something else first?” Chu Mu felt it would be better if Liu Binglan remained silent with her air of grace. Otherwise, her endless questions would be endless!

Talking about something else, of course, means talking about the main issue at hand.

From Xiang Yunyun’s words, it was clear that the manipulated high-level Emperor was targeting Chu Mu. Chu Mu inexplicably getting involved in such a terrible matter made his mother naturally worried. Liu Binglan asked Chu Mu if he had offended any wild soul pet Emperors or any extremely powerful soul pet masters.

Chu Mu shook his head. He had thought that the hostility from the high-level Emperor was related to Liu Binglan. But from Liu Binglan’s questions, it was evident that Liu Binglan was not the reason why Chu Mu was held in such contempt.

But what other reason could there be for him to be targeted by a high-level Emperor soul pet? Moreover, this high-level Emperor soul pet was only being manipulated, which meant that there was a powerful creature behind the high-level Emperor that Chu Mu could not possibly match.

“Sister Lan, could it be just a coincidence? The kind of manipulated creature might target any powerful being around it and show hostility. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence.” Xiang Yunyun suggested.

Liu Binglan glanced at Xiang Yunyun, her eyes filled with a touch of indifference.

Since the idea reached her son’s mind, Liu Binglan couldn’t let Xiang Yunyun off the hook! Even if Liu Binglan believed nothing had happened, Xiang Yunyun’s behavior was wrong.

If she had tried to tempt someone else, Liu Binglan would have just scolded Xiang Yunyun a few times. But if the one being tempted was Chu Mu, then Xiang Yunyun’s sin would be increased by hundreds of times.

Xiang Yunyun realized that Liu Binglan was somewhat angry with her, so she obediently sat down on the side. Until Liu Binglan asked her a question, she dared not voice any opinions at will.

At a low level, Liu Binglan ranked higher than Xiang Yunyun’s teacher, the Flower Emperor Master. Although Xiang Yunyun affectionately called her “sister”, she had to treat Liu Binglan with the same respect as an elder.
