After being conquered by a silly and sweet girl, I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 296 Being a Demon Lord is Hard (15)

As if remembering something, You Muxue's expression darkened.

"The Lord's love spell is indeed unmatched."

……

……

The arguing outside made Chu Yizhi, who had just woken up, feel even more uncomfortable.

His throat was dry and sore, and he had no strength left in his body.

There was no one else in the room. He struggled to get up and realized that he was in an inn.

He felt regretful and angry that neither Mission Two nor Interstellar Romance had made any progress.

I should have known better than to upset You Muxue yesterday and just come back.

After leaving the inn, Chu Yizhi walked for several miles and noticed that everyone along the way seemed to be in a hurry.

He stopped someone and asked, and the person told him that yesterday, the Yuehuan Sect led a group to massacre the neighboring city and was now rushing here, so everyone was busy fleeing for their lives.

Chu Yizhi raised an eyebrow. "May I ask, brother, who is leading this group?"

The man had an expression that said, "Of course it's Venerable Yuehuan. Chu Shangyin, that demon has come back from the dead to take revenge. Run for your lives!"

Chu Yizhi was even more surprised.

He's still here, so who exactly is this "Chu Shangyin"?

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the hidden storyline: The True and False Chu Shangyin. Unlocking the full storyline will reward you with random items.]

Is Chu Shangyin the real or fake?

He instantly recalled the similar appearances of Wen Mulin and You Muxue.

As far as he knew, You Muxue and Wen Mulin did not look alike when they were young.

If we ignore the interstellar romance and the fact that they are all fragments of Feng Mulin's soul, and only analyze the plot—

Upon realizing this, Chu Yizhi instantly understood.

No wonder.

Steam rose into the air, and in the clear pool, a man of exceptional beauty closed his eyes to rest.

Wen Mulin's mind kept replaying Chu Yizhi's resolute expression that day, and his heart tightened with each passing moment.

Why doesn't he defend himself?

Thinking of all that had happened between them, Wen Mulin felt as if a huge rock had sunk in his heart.

If Chu Shangyin wasn't his father's killer, then who was his enemy?

"Mr. Wen."

A commotion broke out outside. After a while, a disciple asked from outside, "Someone of unknown origin entered the gate just now. I wonder if the young master was disturbed?"

Wen Mulin frowned slightly. "No, don't bother me anymore."

He was the young sect leader's sweetheart, and his words carried great weight in the Yue Lu Sect. Upon hearing his words, the junior disciple apologized repeatedly and left.

Wen Mulin opened his eyes, about to close them again to rest, when his gaze suddenly fixed on that spot.

There seems to be something beneath the hot spring—

Just as he thought of this, a hand reached out from underwater and covered his mouth.

Wen Mulin immediately retaliated, shaking off the hand and swinging his legs forward with a powerful stride.

With a muffled thud, a figure emerged from the water.

"Who are you—it's you?"

Wen Mulin's pupils dilated. "How did you get here?"

He used 80% of his strength in that kick just now; given Chu Shangyin's skill level, there was no way he couldn't have dodged it.

Wen Mulin looked closely and then noticed that Chu Yizhi's lips were abnormally pale, his cheeks were flushed, and he was gasping for breath.

“Young Master Wen,” Chu Yi said with a hint of resentment in his eyes, “you are quite strong.”

It hurt him terribly.

Wen Mulin was at a loss for words. "Are you...are you alright?"

"Do I look like I'm alright? Do you know how much effort I put into finding you?"

"Looking for me?" Wen Mulin was taken aback.

"Didn't you say you'd find a way to cure my poison?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose at the door. "Young Master Wen, are you alright? We just heard a strange noise over here, you—"

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?" Wen Mulin's tone was not good. "I just slipped and fell by accident. What, do you want to come in and laugh at me?"

"I'm sorry, young master, I wouldn't dare!"

The young disciple was filled with trepidation.

Wen Mulin's tone was unfriendly, "If you don't dare, leave now. I don't want to hear any more sounds, so don't bother me again!"

"Yes, yes, you lot, you don't need to stay here anymore, didn't you hear me!"

After a series of footsteps, silence finally returned.

When Wen Mulin turned around and faced Chu Yi, his previous arrogance was completely gone. He hesitated and looked somewhat unnatural.

"You've come to ask me for the antidote?"

Chu Yizhi was currently soaking comfortably in the hot spring. "Not entirely."

He opened one eye. "Have you heard what's going on about me outside?"

Wen Mulin nodded, and was about to ask something when Chu Yizhi said, "It wasn't me."

"Not you?" Wen Mulin looked at him with suspicion.

"I came for this very reason."

He stared into Wen Mulin's eyes. "Young Master Wen, although we are now like strangers, after spending the past few years together, do you think I am the kind of person who would massacre an entire city?"

Chu Shangyin truly had no interest in killing. As the sect leader of Yuehuan Sect, his only interest was collecting all kinds of beauties.
