Chapter 422: Chapter 421 Unable to Break Through (3)

Although the four of them were reluctant to part ways, they had no choice since two of them had their own lives to lead. They just hoped that Mu Chen could find more time to bring Liu Yuxi back to visit them.

On the drive back, Liu Yuxi looked at Mu Chen and said, "I noticed you seemed teary several times, even though you didn’t actually cry, but your eyes were moist. Were you thinking about something?"

"My dear wife really pays great attention! Actually, I was just thinking about my parents. Although Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are like my own parents, they aren’t biologically related, and I miss the maternal and paternal love that only blood relations can offer," Mu Chen sincerely said.

"Did you find out anything over the years? After all, I heard you mention you were an orphan and I’ve never seen your parents," Liu Yuxi earnestly said.

"I did look into it, until I didn’t want to look anymore. Now, it feels like even if they do exist, I don’t want to explore further. Some things are better left unprobed, especially since they chose to abandon me," Mu Chen replied.

"Maybe there was some family crisis or some other incident?" Liu Yuxi said earnestly.

Hearing Liu Yuxi’s words, Mu Chen’s expression changed, and he immediately braked the car, his eyes shifting rapidly.

"Perhaps you are right, some things do need to be looked into," Mu Chen spoke softly, although his eyes had already turned somewhat bloodshot. Despite trying to appear indifferent, he desperately hoped that his real family wasn’t in any danger, and deep inside, he wanted to know the truth.

"Mu Chen, are you alright?" Liu Yuxi looked at him and expressed her concern.

"I’m fine, just a bit overwhelmed," said Mu Chen.

"Mu Chen, I can help you investigate. Nowadays, there are many powerful figures who can be employed to delve into the matter."

"My dear wife, you’re oversimplifying it, but I’ll find a way," Mu Chen earnestly said.

It’s not that Mu Chen didn’t want to investigate; it was indeed impossible to track down. The old man had tried to help him before, and he had tried himself, but to no avail. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air in Tianhai City, or as if it was fated.

"As long as you’re alright," but Liu Yuxi was still a bit worried.

"My dear wife, let me be honest with you! My return to Tianhai City wasn’t just for breaking through my realm or suppressing my Mad Demon Syndrome, there’s also something else. I need to find out who betrayed me during that mission. The presence of you wonderful women could be credited to my rogue charms," Mu Chen earnestly said.

"Mission, betrayal?" Liu Yuxi pretended to be surprised, but she knew very well what Mu Chen meant; she didn’t expect that what Mu Chen couldn’t let go of was that mission.

"Yes, it was during a mission, indeed. Many of my brothers died, and it even led to the death of a woman I should never have hurt in this lifetime. I owe them," Mu Chen said, his eyes half bloodshot. If he wasn’t suppressing it, his urge to kill would be raging, akin to entering the Shura World.

"Mu Chen, although I can’t help much, I believe everything will get better. One day, you will have your revenge," Liu Yuxi stated firmly.

"You do believe in me."

"Because you are my man," Liu Yuxi said with a smile.

"My wife, thank you for not minding my past, for not being scared or fearful of me. Right now, I feel you are very close to me," Mu Chen earnestly said.

"I swear, I will always be by your side," Liu Yuxi earnestly said.

"Fool, even if you wanted to escape or leave now, I wouldn’t let you go," Mu Chen said as he embraced Liu Yuxi tightly.

"Mu Chen, I also thank you for being in my life."

"My wife, why is love so strange? Once you fall in love, you can’t extricate yourself and are willing to sacrifice everything, including your life."

"Would you sacrifice your life for me?"

"Of course, I would."

"That’s more like it."

"By the way, my wife, I need to leave for a bit the day after tomorrow, I’m not sure when I’ll be back," Mu Chen suddenly said, as the day after tomorrow was critical, and he had to leave temporarily.

"I understand, just do what you need to do! Just promise me you’ll be safe," Liu Yuxi earnestly said. Liu Yuxi had her own plans; without Mu Chen around, she could focus on cultivating.

"Wife, aren’t you going to ask what I’ll be doing?"

"Why ask, just to worry myself?"

"I can’t argue with that logic," Mu Chen laughed.

"Let’s go then!"

"Yes."

Afterward, the two of them immediately drove back to Nanwan Villa.

Upon returning, Mu Chen didn’t say much; he practiced cultivation and cut a small piece of Spirit Milk to help Liu Yuxi in her cultivation.

Liu Yuxi didn’t refuse and took the Spirit Milk, circulating the Martial Arts Technique given by Mu Chen to slowly enhance her strength.

"Ganoderma, it’s up to you now," Mu Chen said, taking out the Ganoderma and swiftly devouring its energy with the Divine Dragon Technique.

However, two hours later, Mu Chen was shocked to find that Liu Yuxi had already completely devoured the Spirit Milk, her physical body breaking through to the later stages of the Mythical Realm. The speed of her advancement was terrifying, making Mu Chen realize how fearsome the Ice Spirit Body truly was, a natural fit for cultivation. All the geniuses in the outside world or in the Martial World seemed insignificant compared to Liu Yuxi.

"I’m so tired, I am going to sleep," Liu Yuxi kissed Mu Chen’s cheek and pretended to sleep.

Liu Yuxi didn’t actually sleep, secretly circulating the Divine Ice Technique, her body’s Cold Ice energy growing stronger, especially when cultivating alongside Mu Chen, it was several times faster.

Mu Chen also didn’t say much, quietly continuing his practice.

"That’s strange," but later in the night, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his expression incredibly grave.

He had to be serious, as he was now at the peak of Legend, just a step away from entering the Mythical Realm, the realm that could increase the size of the Qi Vortex by several folds. Yet, Mu Chen felt no signs of a breakthrough.

"This can’t be right! What’s going wrong? Is it a lack of energy?" Mu Chen wondered, and continued to devour the Ganoderma energy. However, only one-fifth of the Ganoderma’s energy remained.

Time slowly passed, and even after Mu Chen consumed all the Ganoderma energy, using the Divine Dragon Technique to absorb some Spiritual Energy from the surroundings, there was still no sign of a breakthrough. Mu Chen was perplexed.

"This is too strange," Mu Chen frowned, finding it unbelievable as he had never felt this before.

"I should ask the old man what’s going on," Mu Chen said and immediately made a phone call.
