Chapter 1135: Chapter 220: Pursuit by the Dragon Clan (Second Update)

"And those Charm Fruits that haven’t transformed, how do you deal with them?" Mu Qingge asked again.

Yin Jue didn’t answer immediately; instead, he turned to look at Yin Le.

It seemed that only she, the Empress, was suitable to answer Mu Qingge’s question.

Mu Qingge also looked at Yin Le, not urging or pressing. Now that she knew these secrets, whether the Mountain Charm wanted to divulge the remaining secrets was entirely up to them.

Hou recovered from his shock and also looked at Yin Le; at this moment, they were all waiting for her choice.

Under the gaze of the three, Yin Le’s eyes gently lowered as she spoke in a deep voice, "Those untransformed Charm Fruits are carefully stored away. If a clan member is injured, they serve as the best healing elixir; no matter how severe the injury, it will recover instantly."

Yin Jue lowered his gaze without stopping Yin Le from speaking.

The last secret of the Mountain Charm was also revealed in front of Mu Qingge and Hou.

"Healing elixir!" Mu Qingge was somewhat surprised. But immediately, she understood the reasoning behind it. Mountain Charm transformed from the Charm Fruit, sharing the same origin as those unable to transform. Though these fruits couldn’t take human shape, they still contained pure power. When Mountain Charm was injured, consuming one could instantly heal—this was a strong possibility.

"This effect only works for the Mountain Charm Clan." Yin Jue seemed afraid that Mu Qingge and Hou might become greedy, promptly explaining.

A sarcastic cold smile flashed at the corner of Mu Qingge’s lips, and she said, "So, Charm Fruit is indeed of great use to the Mountain Charm Clan. No wonder you’ve kept them so cautiously."

Her obvious sarcasm made Yin Jue and Yin Le’s expressions change.

Yin Le said softly, "Charm Fruit will dissolve after five thousand years. Since it can save lives, why not use it?"

"Indeed! Since it can save lives, why not use it? Wasting them for the sake of a selfless heart?" Mu Qingge mocked.

Her previous sarcasm targeted Yin Jue’s greed explanation, not their life-saving use of the Charm Fruit.

If Charm Fruit were useless to Mountain Charm, would they still protect and care for it so much?

Yin Jue said that outsiders were greedy, but didn’t the Mountain Charm have selfish intentions too?

She was just laughing a bit. Of course, she also recognized Yin Jue’s actions; it’s understandable, and she would do the same.

Yin Jue and Yin Le didn’t understand what Mu Qingge meant by "selfless heart," but they agreed with her previous statement: if it can save lives, why not use it?

Both nodded, and the four stood under the ancient tree, falling silent once more.

Hou glanced around, unsure of Mu Qingge’s thoughts, wanting to speak but afraid his rashness might ruin her plans.

His understanding of Mu Qingge was deep; once she determined Charm Fruit was useful, she wouldn’t abandon her aim due to Mountain Charm’s few words.

After a moment, Yin Jue spoke. "Do you know? Few ever enter the Mountain Charm Clan’s territory. Even if some do come, they won’t have the opportunity to leave. This is to guard the Mountain Charm’s secrets. And you..."

His gaze fell on Hou, turning colder, he continued, "If it weren’t for Her Majesty’s insistence, you wouldn’t have been let in. Regardless of your interest in Charm Fruit, you’ll learn these things if you stay long enough."

Yin Jue’s tone carried some chill.

Mu Qingge and Hou’s gazes turned serious.

Hou took a step forward, shielding Mu Qingge behind him, saying to Yin Jue, "What do you mean? Planning to kill us to keep us silent?"

Yin Jue slowly shook his head, saying to Hou, "If you could stay here, that would be best..."

"That’s impossible! What then? You’re not killing us but planning to imprison us here?" Hou interrupted Yin Jue, his violent aura emanating.

"Brother Kong, don’t misunderstand!" Yin Le hurriedly explained.

"Hou." Mu Qingge also spoke, stopping Hou’s impulsive behavior.

Upon hearing Mu Qingge’s voice, Hou’s aura instantly diminished. He glanced at Yin Jue, sneered coldly, and retreated to Mu Qingge’s side.

Seeing Mu Qingge’s words effectively calming Hou, Yin Le felt a bit envious, her eyes showing a hint of dimness.

"Let me finish." Yin Jue said, "If it were others, we wouldn’t have shown mercy. But you saved Yin Le and are the Brother Kong she has yearned for these years. So, we won’t force you. We’ll help you resolve the Dragon Clan matter with all our might. Afterward, you may choose to leave or stay. But today, we speak frankly, and hope you keep this place’s secrets even if you depart."

Mu Qingge understood Yin Jue’s meaning, plainly wanting to keep the Mountain Charm Clan’s secrets.

"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded decisively.

Hou was immediately anxious, saying, "Qingge!" He feared she would just give up Charm Fruit. Mu Qingge’s intentions were clear to him; confronting the Four Seas Divine Land’s top forces carried obvious risks.

Charm Fruit could enhance power by ten thousand years, which she urgently needed, otherwise why bring her here?

Mu Qingge shook her head slowly at Hou, causing him to swallow his words.

’This can’t be rushed.’ Mu Qingge thought. Of course, she didn’t want to just give up Charm Fruit. Initially, she felt uneasy, but knowing Mountain Charm also used them, that unease vanished. She sought Charm Fruit for Si Mo, not for herself like Hou believed.

Suddenly, Mountain Charm rapidly approached.

Mu Qingge looked up to see the Mountain Charm archer they met in the forest three days ago.

He passed by Mu Qingge, kneeling before Yin Le and Yin Jue, saying gravely, "Your Majesty, Prince! A large number of Dragon Clan are approaching Divine Mountain!"

The gentle expression on Yin Le’s exquisite features instantly shifted to a stern look.

Yin Jue’s handsome face turned cold and sharp.

"The Dragon Clan dare to disturb the Divine Mountain?" Yin Jue’s voice had an edge.

Mu Qingge sneered, "Seems the Dragon Clan is seriously angered this time."

"They’ve come, so be it! It’s good to kill a few more dragons!" Hou, filled with pent-up anger, welcomed the Dragon Clan chase.

"You don’t have to go out." Yin Jue said to Hou.

His gaze swept across Hou and Mu Qingge’s faces, saying, "I will personally confront the Dragon Clan. You stay here. If the Dragon Clan knows better and retreats, so be it. But if they insist on entangling, our Mountain Charm isn’t to be trifled with."
