Chapter 1613: Chapter 1473

Back in Ice City, the city appeared to have just experienced a battle. The mess was everywhere, with many city walls severely damaged. Some nightwatch Soul Pet Trainers were busy with repairs.

The corpses of monsters were piled high outside the inner city, emitting a heavy, pungent stench. The people inside Snow City did not dare to clear them from outside the city on their own. They could only manipulate those special creatures from the Plant World to turn these corpses into nutrients for particular Plant-type Soul Pets.

This rate of decomposition was not fast; it was estimated that they couldn’t finish clearing up by daylight.

As Chu Mu entered the city, he immediately saw the female city owner, Bing Li, dressed in plain clothes, commanding the recovery efforts herself.

The woman looked like she hadn’t rested for many days. Her face was full of tiredness, and she seemed so delicate that a slightly stronger gust of wind might knock her over.

City owner Bing Li noticed a dark star entering the city, and upon realizing it was Chu Mu, a somewhat restrained smile appeared on her face as she greeted him.

“King Chu.” City owner Bing Li bowed slightly to Chu Mu as a gesture of respect.

“How’s the city’s condition?” asked Chu Mu.

“Temporarily stable. The assault of the Ice Mountain Monsters has receded, and they shouldn’t return in large numbers for another day or two,” Bing Li replied.

With Chu Mu’s Ghost Dome King and Demon Tree Warrior guarding, it was very difficult for those Ice Mountain Monsters to break through the defenses. City owner Bing Li witnessed the truly powerful capabilities of the Immortal Level!

“Did King Chu discover anything?” Bing Li asked, knowing that Chu Mu had ventured deep into the Ice Mountains.

“The situation is grave. There is a force within the Glacier Mountain Range with strength dozens of times greater than these Ice Mountain Monsters, and there’s also an Immortal Level Sky-Extreme Ice Beast. This city might have to be abandoned,” said Chu Mu.

“Abandon it?” Bing Li’s eyes glazed over in confusion.

Bing Li had grown up in Ice City since she was young and took over the city from her father after growing strong. She had a special affection for the city, and the idea of abandoning it felt like being torn away from her family.

Noticing Bing Li’s reluctance, Chu Mu said, “Once things settle down, I’ll have people help you rebuild Ice City. The levels of the monsters within the Great Glacier Mountain Range are very high, and the city’s defenses are completely insufficient against their attacks.”

“How strong are they?” Bing Li asked with some curiosity.

“There are over a thousand Dominator Level creatures, and there are also about ten of the Immortal Level creatures, along with one strongest Glacier Ruler,” explained Chu Mu.

Bing Li opened her mouth but couldn’t speak for a long time.

The entire Ice City had no more than forty Dominator Level strong ones, which was already the full extent of their power. Nobody expected that within the Glaciers, there could be more than a thousand Dominator Level creatures roaming. If these thousands of Dominator Level creatures surged over together, the small Ice City simply couldn’t withstand their trampling.

Even if Bing Li cherished the city, she had to consider the lives of the residents.

“With so many people in the city, how does King Chu plan to relocate them?” Bing Li asked.

“I’ve already called for a large number of experts from World City, Snow City, and Xiangrong City, and the New Moon Navy is also on its way here. They will be responsible for moving the crowd, and the people of Ice City will temporarily settle in Snow City,” said Chu Mu.

“What about those monsters?” Bing Li felt even more uneasy thinking about the Immortal Level creatures deep within the Ice Mountains.

“I will clear them out,” Chu Mu asserted.

Chu Mu had always honed himself through battle. Without his direct involvement, it would be hard to resolve this disaster. This was a good opportunity for Chu Mu to get some rigorous training, as aside from Yin Valley, it was indeed difficult to find such a vast scale of a thousand Dominators anywhere else.

Of course, Chu Mu knew that he alone would struggle to deal with such a large group of Ice Mountain Monsters. This was when the New Moon Navy would be necessary to mobilize.

The New Moon Navy was not only skilled in naval warfare but excelled in battles within the Glaciers. With the New Moon Navy involved, Chu Mu would have an easier time clearing the area.

Considering that his attributes would be suppressed by the Polar Sky Ice Beast, Chu Mu planned to call for the assistance of the Martial Cloud Dragon.

The Martial Cloud Dragon was also a combat-loving creature that had been leading an easy life in Wanxiang City recently, but it occasionally needed to stretch its limbs.

After reaching out to Mu Qingyi with a summons, Chu Mu immediately left Ice City and went to Wanxiang City to request the help of the great Martial Cloud Dragon.

The journey from Ice City to Wanxiang City didn’t take Chu Mu very long. As it was already deep into the night, Chu Mu didn’t want to disturb Martial Cloud Dragon’s rest and decided to return to his own courtyard to rest for a while, to gather some strength before setting out.

No sooner had Chu Mu entered his room than he heard the sweet, enticing laughter of two girls.

“Sister, do you think Brother is a bit silly?” Ning Man’er’s clear voice rang out.

“Him? Not silly, but he knows how to play dumb,” replied Ye Qingzi with conviction.

“Why play dumb?” Ning Man’er asked, puzzled.

“If he didn’t play dumb, there would be many foolish maids like you falling for him,” teased Ye Qingzi.

“I don’t like him! He’s always so stern. He used to scold me often and never played with me. What’s even more annoying is that he always calls me ‘Little maid’! Sister, go shopping with me for some pretty clothes sometime; the kind with less fabric. Brother will definitely sneak peeks at me…” Ning Man’er said.

“You naughty girl, what are you up to!”

“I’m just testing Brother’s resolve.”

“Do you even do that? Be careful not to deliver yourself like a little lamb right into his mouth. Don’t look at how proper he usually acts; one day he might really devour you. Then don’t come complaining to me, Sister. I can’t control him anymore,” Ye Qingzi said half-jokingly.

Chu Mu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed after overhearing the conversation between Ye Qingzi and Ning Man’er.

What on earth were these two women talking about? Ning Man’er was now boldly flaunting her naturally giddy personality, yet she happened to be a great beauty, and Chu Mu dared not get too intimately involved with her as a result. And now, this pretty girl was actually discussing seduction strategies with Ye Qingzi!

Ye Qingzi’s words also left Chu Mu at a loss for words; why did it feel like Qingzi was allowing herself too much leeway?

Of course, Chu Mu knew that all this was just some private joke between Ye Qingzi and Ning Man’er and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Besides, when these two women got together, they would both turn into little devils, and Chu Mu had been teased by them more than once.

Chu Mu pushed open the door and entered the room, acting as if he hadn’t heard their previous conversation.

“Back already?” Ye Qingzi poked her head out from the thin blanket, speaking in a soft and fluffy voice.

The thin blanket was draped over Ye Qingzi, who must have been lying on her side, her graceful and tempting curves perfectly outlined, displaying a lazy charm.

“Yeah, why are you two still talking so late at night?” Chu Mu spoke.

“How did Brother know I was here? I was holding my breath.” Ning Man’er also popped her head out at this moment, revealing her exquisite and enchanting face.

“Go back to your own room to sleep,” Chu Mu said to Ning Man’er.

“No!” Ning Man’er firmly refused to leave, holding onto Ye Qingzi tightly, determined to stay right there for the night.

“I’m leaving early Tomorrow. You can sleep with your sister then,” Chu Mu said.

“No way, there are plenty of rooms in the courtyard. Brother, just pick any other room to move into,” Ning Man’er, like a piece of Velcro, stubbornly refused to leave.

Chu Mu’s face darkened. How could this girl be so annoying at times? Didn’t she know that he and Ye Qingzi were husband and wife? What kind of proper young lady kept barging in, disrupting the couple’s emotional exchange?

Ye Qingzi stayed silent, watching the two of them bicker, both with a firm stance, instead letting out a scoffing laugh: “Why not sleep together then? Chu Mu, will you sleep here?”

As she spoke, Ye Qingzi deliberately shifted her slender body, making room for Chu Mu in the middle of the bed.

Chu Mu’s mouth gaped open, somewhat disbelievingly staring at Ye Qingzi.

What was Ye Qingzi doing? Clearly allowing him to be unfaithful?

Although Princess Jinrou’s matter had been tacitly consented to by Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu felt that had already reached Ye Qingzi’s limit. Ye Qingzi blatantly offering a spot in bed for him, especially to sleep between her and the alluring, sexy Ning Man’er…

Even the normally composed and cool Chu Mu was having trouble wrapping his head around this.

“Er, I think I’ll just go sleep in another room.” Finally, Chu Mu resisted the temptation and left.

Chu Mu found that ever since he and Qingzi got married, the women around him seemed to become more and more intriguing.

“Are you sure you won’t come?” Ye Qingzi raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes gleaming, the charm in them laced with a touch of deliberate flirtation towards Chu Mu.

“Nobody minds, so what are you worried about, Brother?” Ning Man’er chimed in with her mischievously quirky remark.

“I mind!” Chu Mu said seriously.

Heaven knows whether these two women were setting a trap for him.

If Chu Mu were to climb into bed, only for Ye Qingzi to turn her face and Ning Man’er to scream “I knew Brother was up to no good!”—why deliberately jump into a trap set by these two little devils?

“Alright, Man’er, go back to your room,” Ye Qingzi said, knowing that Chu Mu had been running around in Ice City lately and that from his state of mind, one could tell he had expended a lot of energy, hence she stopped teasing Chu Mu.

“What’s wrong with sleeping together? I’ll sleep on Sister’s side, and Brother can go to the corner,” Ning Man’er pouted as she spoke.

“Some wolves will still extend their paws toward the little lamb even under their wife’s watch,” Ye Qingzi said.

“True that,” Ning Man’er nodded, then climbed out from the bed, wearing a semi-transparent nightgown, and barefoot, she floated past Chu Mu.

After Ning Man’er left and closed the door behind her, she stopped intentionally making things difficult for Chu Mu.

With Ning Man’er gone, Chu Mu began to undress.

“Tired?” Ye Qingzi came over and gently helped Chu Mu out of his clothes.

“A bit. A lot of people died this time,” Chu Mu said.

“What happened?” Ye Qingzi was taken aback.

“A creature from the Wind Palace has awakened. Qingzi, help me look into something,” Chu Mu said.

“Okay.”

Having been running around the vicinity of Ice City these past few days, he indeed exhausted much of his physical strength; he needed to recuperate to deal with the upcoming Polar Sky Ice Beast. After all, the lives of several hundred thousand people inside the inner city of Ice City were almost in Chu Mu’s hands now; he couldn’t let anything happen to them.
