Chapter 261

Restrained (1)

Ye Mu’s hand stopped the moment she heard Mo Linyuan’s voice. Although she had more than a dozen people trapped to the ground and drained of their internal forces, it was evident they were all still alive.

Ye Mu’s figure flashed. She was now approaching Mo Linyuan. With inhuman-like speed, the guards, Wen Feng and Zi Xu, swiftly stood in front of their sovereign.

“Careful Your Majesty!”

“That’s enough, everyone step aside!”

Step by step, Ye Mu walked towards Mo Linyuan… until she was only fifty meters away.

Wen Feng and Zi Xu stubbornly refused to move. The two’s killing intent agitated Ye Mu. Her expression became distinctly more irritated. Seeing her body covered in blood and malicious intent, pained Mo Linyuan. It hurt him to see her like this.

“I already told you two to get out of my way!” Mo Linyuan asserted decisively, “This is an order!”

Yielding to Mo Linyuan’s words, they reluctantly retreated… but they continued to vigilantly glare at Ye Mu.

“Turn around!”

Their eyes widened in incredulity, before they showed their backs unwillingly.

Diverting their focus from her, Ye Mu’s expression relaxed significantly. She now stood only three meters away from Mo Linyuan… but abruptly, she didn’t dare to advance further.

Her heart held a fierce beast. She wanted to tear everything and anything that moved, including the person in front of her… even if he was extremely important to her.

Mo Linyuan’s handsome face was tense. He frowned as he said to Ye Mu,

“Come to my side…”

Ye Mu remained motionless. He walked towards her, but as soon as he took a step forward, Ye Mu took one step back. He responded by taking a bigger step forward and embracing her with his arms. In the next second, one of his hands was gripped by Ye Mu!

Mo Linyuan made a muffled noise. It would seem that she had broken his bones with her tight hold.

“…Don’t be afraid, I’m here now.”

He said calmly, while gently caressing Ye Mu’s shoulder with his other hand. In reaction, it appeared Ye Mu’s beastly instinct broke out and her shoulder tensed greatly!

Wen Feng and Zi Xu were deathly anxious! At a glance, it was evident Miss Ye had shown the early signs of insanity. Moreover, she has already seen blood, how could she continue to suppress her internal demons?

What about the Silent Monk? Didn’t he say he could help Miss Ye? Where did he go?!

Mo Linyuan could feel Ye Mu’s relentless struggle against herself. If she exploded, the people who were waiting for him in the mountain would all die. That was why he must have faith in her and give her strength.

“Little Mu’er, I trust you won’t harm me, isn’t that right?”

His low voice could only be heard by Ye Mu. He was not sure if he felt wrong, but Mo Linyuan noticed that the strength in Ye Mu’s tight grasp on his hand relaxed slightly.

Mo Linyuan let out a long sigh of relief. Currently, there was no one in the temple, the monks were held down on the ground, and all the imperial guards had withdrawn. There were no stimulations around to provoke her.

“Little Mu’er, I know you still have your rationality. Don’t worry, I’m here now. Let me take care of the rest…”

As he said this, he seamlessly took this dangerously explosive person into his embrace. Right then, if Ye Mu hadn’t still had her meager hold on her sanity, she would have already stabbed her hand into Mo Linyuan’s stomach, her other hand piercing through his chest!

Meanwhile, Mo Linyuan knew Ye Mu still had a subconscious mind, as she held his life and wellbeing in her hands. Nevertheless, his body still remained relax, as he tone became every more gentle,

“Let us head home, how does that sound? As for this place, we will never return here again.”

His hand continued to stroke her. After a long time, the trembling Ye Mu slowly relaxed even further.

“I-I… can’t find… the Silent Monk…”

Ye Mu’s muted voice sounded aggrieved. Even though her horrific expression right then didn’t show any signs of grievance, Mo Linyan was still distressed by her words.

“Then don’t look for him anymore. Even if you can’t find him, you still have me…”
