When it was almost evening, Ciel returned to Mu Yixue’s inn with a faint smile on his face.
Mu Yixue was evidently waiting in front of the inn’s entrance, looking uncomfortable as she looked around.
When she saw Ciel coming, she couldn’t help but frown.
She walked up to him and said, “Where have you been? My aunt has been waiting since this morning!”
“What?” Ciel almost gasped when he heard her words so he replied, “what did you just say?”
Despite saying that, he didn’t expect Mu Yixue to repeat her words.
With the Eyes of Heaven, he gazed into the inn, and instantly found Mu Yueli sitting beside a table in a room on the seventh floor.
She was reading a book, immersed in it, and blushing occasionally.
What was surprising was the title of the book she was reading: (Naughty Man and Shy Princess!)
Ciel couldn’t have shown a stranger expression than now. Even his steps were halted to the point of immobility.
Mu Yixue wrinkled her forehead at the sight.
“What did you see?” she asked.
“Nothing!” Ciel quickly recovered from his shock.
After which, he took a step into the inn, followed by Mu Yixue.
Mei Mei was also inside, carrying a tray of very delicious-looking food.
“Prince, you must be very hungry, come, eat, I just cooked it,” she said.
Seeing that, Mu Yixue’s eyes went cold for a moment. She had actually also prepared a meal that she cooked herself. Unexpectedly, Mei Mei made her move first.
Ciel was indeed hungry because he didn’t eat at Madam Zhou’s house.
The latter actually wanted to cook for him, but he kept hugging her, so she couldn’t do anything.
And Ciel was quite interested in Mei Mei’s cooking because of her clan’s expertise in cooking.
He sat on the sofa and signaled Mei Mei to put the tray on the table.
After that, he said to Mu Yixue, “call your aunt here!”
Mu Yixue glanced at his eyes before taking a step to the stairs. She seemed to want to call her directly without using the Communication Jade. After all, they were very close, so it would be rude if she asked her aunt to come down through the Communication Jade without seeing her.
While waiting for Mu Yueli to arrive, Ciel began to eat.
And Mu Yueli also came down quite quickly.
Ciel immediately looked at her. That woman was very calm now, just like she usually was.
When her eyes met his, there was no ripple at all, yet Ciel who was making observations with the Eyes of Heaven found that her heart was beating slightly. She was obviously nervous, and her head was probably imagining the scene where her lips were kissed by Ciel’s lips.
“I heard you were waiting for me, is there something, Elder Mu?” asked Ciel in a casual tone.
He acted as if they had nothing in particular to do.
Mu Yixue didn’t suspect anything because the incident was only known by Isla.
“Weren’t you the one who summoned me to this continent? I wonder what you want to do?” Mu Yueli asked back.
Ciel’s question did not fit, but he deliberately asked it because he wanted to talk first.
Since it wasn’t something that needed to be hidden right now, so he answered, “I want your help to attack the Ancient Night Race’s hideout. The strongest one there is a Third Stage Demigod. I’m sure you can handle him and we can kill him with additional help from Kaiya.”
Hearing Ciel’s words, Mu Yueli narrowed her beautiful eyes while her expression became serious. Even Mu Yixue looked at Ciel in surprise. She accompanied him on this continent, but she knew nothing about it except now.
This made her realize that many things he had done without her knowledge.
“Are you serious?” asked Mu Yueli.
“Madam Maya will show you the place,” Ciel replied.
“Maya?” Mu Yueli wrinkled her forehead upon hearing that.
“Does Kaiya already know about this?”
“I know now!” Suddenly Kaiya’s voice echoed, and her figure appeared in front of the door.
Ciel stared at the woman wearing the black dress, thinking that her movements were really fast.
In fact, she had only come now.
She looked at Ciel then asked, “Prince, is your information completely accurate?”
Her tone did not change at all, having a special friendliness as she spoke to Ciel.
Who knew how that woman regarded Ciel now. Did she still think of him as the son of the Ice Goddess?
However, as a very filial disciple of the Ice Goddess, he was still obedient to Ciel because of his status as a Prince.
For the question was actually something that Ciel wasn’t sure how to answer because it wasn’t necessarily that what Madam Maya knew was completely accurate.
In the end, Ciel said, “we will make observations first. If it’s beyond our capabilities, we’ll retreat.”
With his Eyes, the matter of observing the hiding place would not be a difficult one.
Kaiya nodded after hearing his words.
Right after that, a female figure with blonde brown hair and wearing a purple dress suddenly came on foot towards the inn.
She caught everyone’s attention because she was Madam Maya, the ex-wife of the Blue Cloud God.
People couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw her going to the inn where the Ice Prince was. They wondered what she wanted to do.
The problem was that there were indeed rumors that were not worth saying, but were understood by many people.
Arriving in front of the entrance, Madam Maya stopped her steps, quite surprised by the two additional women there.
She was rather nervous when she saw them.
No matter what, they were one level above her, and that was without talking about talent.
Kaiya was far above her while Mu Yueli could also easily ignore her.
“May I come in?” She then asked, in a soft and polite tone.
Ciel responded by waving his hand and replied, “Please Madam!”
He smiled at her, which made her roll her eyes.
Remembering the fact that she had been deceived by him after serving him for one night still upset her.
She then stepped into the inn.
Before she could chat further with Ciel, another figure suddenly arrived, adding to the shock of the people.
However, since they saw Kaiya and Mu Yueli inside the inn, they couldn’t help but speculate about something else, that they were planning something. 𝓞𝓋ℯ𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
Madam Zhou wore a brown dress that looked very elegant.
Her skin looked fair, and her hair was still quite wet.
Anyone who saw her would definitely conclude that she was in a good mood.
For Madam Maya, this was really something that upset her.
‘It seems that she is really enjoying the relationship with the Ice Prince,’ she thought.
Now she understood even more why that woman had directly chosen to divorce the Blue Cloud God and completely become a Ciel woman. It seemed to come from her own heart, unlike her who had motives.
“Prince, Miss Mu, Miss Kaiya, sorry to keep you waiting,” Madam Zhou said in a gentle tone after she entered the inn.
In front of the others, she acted casually to Ciel so that no one realized that she had been having fun for one night and one day with Ciel.
The latter smiled at her and replied, “don’t worry, it’s not time yet, so you’re not late at all.”
Ciel’s friendliness to her was obvious, exceeding his friendliness to Madam Maya so the latter pressed her lips together.
“Are we leaving now, Prince?” Madam Maya then asked.
She was deliberately trying to attract Ciel’s attention.
Ciel did not answer immediately, but looked up at the sky that was already getting dark.
“Where is it?” He asked back.
“At the western tip of this continent,” Madam Maya replied.
“I see… Let’s leave now, but separately. You and Madam Zhou go first, but don’t move too fast.”
Ciel deliberately planned that so that their movements would not cause suspicion when someone from the Ancient Night Race saw them.
In this city it was still quite safe since none of them were watching, but elsewhere it was a different matter.
Madam Maya and Madam Zhou nodded. The two glanced at each other before flying into the air, disappearing from the city in an instant.
After arriving at a different place, Madam Maya immediately said something to Madam Zhou.
“Ahh, Zhou Xing, it must be so nice to honeymoon in your ex-husband’s own house with your new man. I wonder how many rounds you guys play?” She laughed.
Although she had initially started to be polite to her, now she found it too difficult because of her jealousy. In the end, she chose to stop pretending. At least when there was no Ciel around.
And she was sure that Madam Zhou would not mention this to Ciel because she was not that kind of woman.
This time, there was no ripple on Madam Zhou’s face because of her words. She was so calm that it was as if she hadn’t heard Madam Maya’s words, much to the woman’s surprise.
“Maya, have you ever felt true happiness?” And she suddenly asked a strange question, which Madam Maya did not understand.
The lady even asked, “what do you mean, Zhou Xing?”
“Huh!” Madam Zhou snorted and laughed softly at the same time.
She did not respond again, as if she was too lazy to talk to Madam Maya.
Meanwhile, Ciel said Mu Yixue and Mei Mei, “you two stay here, after all, you don’t have any special protection, so it’s very dangerous for you.”
No one refuted Ciel’s words even though they seemed to want to go along.
Unfortunately, they were not suitable to go to that place.
After that, Ciel said to Mu Yueli, “We will go together, Elder Mu, while Kaiya will move on her own.”
Mu Yueli, “…”
Before Mu Yueli could say anything, Kaiya had already disappeared. Her existence could no longer be sensed.
