Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 777

Chapter 777 - 778 - You're still young

Hearing that, Mu Jin's face sank, and said coldly: "Don't mess around, do you think marrying someone is a joke?"

"I'm serious, I really want to marry the Young Lord!" Thousandleaf's face was red, as though he was going all out. He had been a bit timid a moment ago, but now all that was left was determination.

"I'm sixteen years older than you. I can be your father now. Do you know that?" If this was what Thousandleaf said when he was twelve, he would take it as a joke, but if this was what he said when he was sixteen, he had to get serious.

"But, I just want to be together with the Young Lord, even if it's just a few words with the Young Lord!" As Thousandleaf spoke, his large almond eyes flashed with an unprecedented resolution, as if this was what she believed in. What age and what status difference did it have? In the eyes of Thousandleaf, this was simply not a matter.

As long as she was with the young master!

Mu Jin looked at Qian Ye, at the eyes which were filled with determination and innocence.

In a small town, there was not much money to be had, but it was enough to let Thousandleaf eat without worry. Unfortunately, at the age of twelve, Thousand Leaves' Eastern Chu State was destroyed, and the food she brought along with her while escaping was mostly stolen along the way.

During the cold and hunger crisis, humanity was revealed. Their parents, who were so hungry that their heads were spinning, could no longer stand it and started to eat with others.

At that time, Thousandleaf, who was so skinny that only his bones remained, had already been propped up on a tree branch. He was waiting for a single cut to end Thousandleaf's life, and then …

Then he rescued her and brought her back to the pavilion,

Because her personality was more similar to Wei Yuanwei and Ju'er, it also gave him a bit of spiritual comfort. Especially when Thousandleaf smiled, he felt that there were two shallow dimples, just like Wei Yuanwei.

Therefore, it could be said that Thousandleaf was a flower that had always lived in a greenhouse. Other than fleeing when she was twelve, Thousandleaf had never experienced any hards.h.i.+ps. His mind was quite naive, thinking about everything rather simply.

Then, Mu Jin said sincerely: "What you have to do for me is to rely on me, do not treat reliance as love, and even more importantly, do not treat love as love. Marriage is a matter of life, not like a child playing house, in the end, I should not let you stay at the Clear Moon Pavilion.

"But Young Lord, I am no longer a child. I can distinguish that I want to be together with Young Lord forever!" Thousandleaf said firmly.

"In my eyes, you're still the twelve-year-old girl that I saved!" Mu Jin's voice was low and imposing at the same time.

"But …"

However, just as Qian Ye was speaking, Mu Jin interrupted her and said: "Qian Ye, there will be a day when you meet the person you truly want to spend your life with. Just calm down now, and wait patiently for that person to appear.

Qian Ye didn't say anything. Her large almond-shaped eyes lost their l.u.s.ter in an instant, and her body seemed to have been sucked out of her.

She had liked the young master for three years. She was very clear on the feelings in her heart, from her initial feelings of love to her current desires.

The person she wanted to live with for the rest of her life would only be the young master!

However, Qian Ye didn't dare say it anymore, because she was afraid that if she said it again, Mu Jin would immediately let her off the carriage.

So in the end, she was still not strong enough, nor strong enough!

It was completely inseparable from the Young Lord!

When they arrived at the imperial palace, both of them maintained their silence. The atmosphere in the carriage was so tense that it had never been seen before.

Dressed in white clothes, Mu Jin gracefully walked out of the carriage, like a lotus blooming in the golden hall. He was holy and proud, without a speck of dust.

A silver mask with patterns carved on its face shone under the moonlight, and its eyes that were dyed in ink shone with a cold and sharp light like that of a cheetah.

The clear and cold temperament perfectly combined with the natural disposition of a king.

It was as if it did not fit in with the magnificent and majestic palace, but the imposing aura it exuded made it seem as if it belonged to the owner of this palace.

Mu Jin slightly raised his head and looked at the towering palace in front of him.

The scene in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar!

"Young Lord, this way please!" Fu Lu had been standing quietly at the city gate for a while, and only when he saw Mu Jin getting off the carriage did he walk to Mu Jin's side and speak after bowing slightly.

Mu Jin did not look at Fu Lu who was beside him. When his feet stepped on the hundred year old bricks, that kind of unforgettable memory spread out from every single cell in his body.

He was more familiar with this palace than anyone else.

Qian Ye was still dressed in pink, and her clothes were extremely lively and playful. It was as if they had brought a refres.h.i.+ng and beautiful scenery to this majestic palace.

Qian Ye followed Mu Jin silently, but seeing the golden splendor they had brought with them, and the majestic palaces, Qian Ye couldn't help but to look around.

Just like a child seeing this world for the first time, he was filled with curiosity and exploration of this world.

At this time, Yun Xiao Hall was brightly lit and heavily guarded. Mu Zhi who was dressed in yellow sat on the guard seat.

When Mu Jin walked in with a lively and playful girl in pink.

Mu Zhi's piercing gaze could not help but slightly narrow.

"Young Master, could it be that you've only brought a girl who doesn't know anything, and you don't even have a personal guard?" Just as Mu Zhi finished speaking.

Dozens of dark guards wearing black clothing and a silver mask appeared in front of Mu Zhi, and quickly surrounded Cloud Sky Hall. Other than the eight dark guards at the entrance, the rest of the dark guards disappeared into the night once more.

The corner of Mu Zhi's lips lifted. He knew that there were countless experts by Mu Jin's side, and he clearly knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet. There was no way that they would not bring their hidden guards here.

But who was this girl that had suddenly appeared beside him?

Mu Zhi's gaze lightly swept across Qian Ye's face. On his face that was the size of a palm, his facial features were not considered very exquisite, and his pair of big, spirited eyes seemed to be the most exquisite and beautiful part of her face.

Such looks and such a figure were common among the palace maids.

He was sure that her relations.h.i.+p with Mu Jin was very simple, but this girl's performance was obviously similar to that of an inexperienced young miss.

And it was definitely not Mu Jin's secret guard!

Then there was only one possibility!

She was Mu Jin's adopted daughter!

"The emperor is rather relaxed. This young master has only been in the Southern Mountain State for three days, but the emperor has been meeting this young master every day!" Mu Jin said indifferently, no emotions could be heard from his voice.

"It was I who disturbed the young master two days ago. Today, we should properly perform our host's functions and entertain the young master!" Mu Zhi's lips curled up into a smile, but there was not a single hint of smile in his eyes.
