Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Mu Residence, Chi Yun Court.

The sky was slightly bright and when darkness and day interacted, a bright orange glow started to rise.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Mu Ge, who tried to cultivate, slowly opened her eyes and her red lips exhaled a heavy breath.

Once her clear eyes opened, she looked at the transparent figure floating three feet away from her.

“You can actually cultivate!” The shocked tone was accompanied with a stunned and emotional expression.

This was the first time Mu Ge saw so many expressions on Mu Qingge.

“Can what? So the feeling of something barging into your body and going to your four limbs is the reaction of directing the spirit into your body?” Mu Ge was very calm, as opposed to Mu Qingge’s emotional and disbelief state.

Without explaining Mu Qingge’s question, Mu Ge looked down in deep thought, as she tried to recall the feeling she had after she tried to cultivate.

Last night, Mu Ge only had time to try cultivating with the method Mu Qingge mentioned, after she returned from Mu Xiong’s room and dismissed You He and Hua Yue.

Initially, she did not feel anything.

It seemed like a modern soul could not understand the old cultivating methods.

However, when she kept repeating the thoughts in her mind and completely focused on it, she entered a strange state. It seemed as though she could feel many energetic and clear things around her. She could not touch those things, but they seemed to receive a command, as they entered her body and circulated within her meridians.

This warm feeling crawled out from her heart.

She only felt this feeling for a moment. After this feeling was gone, Mu Ge opened her eyes and realized that what she thought was a moment was actually a whole night.

“It seems like the Gene Changing Drug really didn’t disappoint me,” muttered Mu Ge. No matter what, she could cultivate now, right?

If she could cultivate, she would slowly let some people know what a good-for-nothing really was!

Thinking about the perilous situation Mu Residence was in and how she was implicated in it, Mu Ge’s lips curved up in a cold yet iridescent smile.

“What did you do? How can you cultivate?” Mu Qingge sized up the body she once had, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

If she was still alive and this miracle happened, perhaps everything would be different.

Mu Ge glanced at her, as she stood up and arranged her fiery robe. She lightly said, “Nothing much. Perhaps this is an extra gift that was given to me after I revived from the dead.”

Mu Qingge was not beside Mu Ge at every single moment. Perhaps, one could say that Mu Qingge would only appear when Mu Ge needed her, so she did not know about the gene changing drug and Mu Ge clearly was not planning on explaining it to her.

“You can cultivate! You should immediately tell Grandfather about this good news!” It was good that Mu Qingge had already completely understood that she was a soul. Even if her body could cultivate, it had nothing to do with her. She only wanted Mu Ge to tell Mu Xiong about this miracle.

Perhaps this young woman had always felt guilty and apologetic to Mu Xiong in her heart for being unable to cultivate.

However, Mu Ge shook her head and rejected her, saying, “It’s better if we don’t say certain things with the Mu family’s current situation.” She raised her hand and interrupted Mu Qingge’s advice, as she looked at Mu Qingge with a sharp and cold gaze. “I have my own plans on when to tell him about it.”

It was not that she did not trust Mu Xiong, but the more people knew about this, the higher the chances of her secret being exposed would be.

Before she had the abilities to protect herself, she did not want to become everyone’s target.

Everyone felt the most comfortable with a good-for-nothing, playful descendant that could not cultivate in the Mu family.

Mu Qingge did not say anything but looked at Mu Ge with a faintly disapproving gaze.

Mu Ge was too lazy to bother with her. She raised her brows and said, “You should think and recall if there’s anything else you’re hiding from me. Think about it clearly and after you’ve arranged it, tell me about it in detail.”

Last night, she was greatly stunned by the news of her fiancee in Mu Xiong’s study.

Mu Ge’s threatening voice made Mu Qingge’s voice tremble, as she pressed her lips against each other tightly and looked down.

“Little Lord, are you awake? A eunuch came from the palace and Old Master told me to bring you over.” You He’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Someone came from the palace?

Mu Ge raised her brows strangely and glanced at Mu Qingge from the corner of her eyes, as she pushed open the door and walked out.

She did not feel tired from cultivating the entire night and was rather very energized.

…

Mu Ge followed You He to the Mu Residence’s living room and saw the palace eunuch at the first instance.

He sat on the living room chair and was holding a yellow scroll with one hand, and sipping on tea with a traditional female hand gesture on the other hand. The makeup on his face was even thicker than women’s.

The belt tied around his almost-snapping waist was filled with traditional flower patterns.

This type of person’s appearance in the Mu Residence made Mu Ge feel the incoming danger.

Mu Xiong accompanied him on the main seat. Of course, this was not because the eunuch was famous, but because of the yellow scroll in his hands.

“Oh… Little Lord, you’re here! I’ve waited for you for a long time.”

The purposefully coy voice instantly made Mu Ge’s hair stand on end, as she wanted to puke in her heart.

Demon! Stay away from me!

Mu Ge put on a cold face, as she avoided the makeup powder that came for him and walked towards Mu Xiong instead.

Mu Xiong saw his grandson’s attitude and broke into laughter, as he tried to salvage the situation and said, “Eunuch Huang, Ge’er is already here. You should hurriedly announce His Majesty’s words. It’s not good to delay his matters.”

Seeing that Mu Ge avoided him so obviously, Eunuch Huang glared at her and cleared his throat. He opened the scroll and loudly said, “By virtue of the mandate received from heaven, the Emperor specially summons Mu Qingge into the palace.”

During the entire recital of the scroll, the grandfather and grandson duo did not kneel or bow, yet the eunuch could not say anything about it.

After all, he only came to pass the Emperor’s word and it was not anything important. With Master Yong Ning’s status in the Kingdom of Qin, he did not need to kowtow. Little Lord was a good-for-nothing and arrogant, so he naturally did not need to bow with his Grandfather shielding him.

Eunuch Huang knew in his heart that this grandfather and grandson duo’s attitude would not change much, even in front of the Emperor.

Hence, he turned a blind eye to it.

“Little Lord, have you packed your items? If you have, do follow me to the palace. You shouldn’t let the Emperor wait for too long,” said Eunuch Huang with a flattering face, as he passed the imperial scroll to Mu Ge.

Mu Ge held the yellow scroll and muttered in her heart, ‘Am I going in to see the Emperor?’
