Chapter 426: Chapter 425 Preparing to Leave (4)

"Are you using me to nurture the toad?" Elder Yi’s face changed, and his killing intent rose as he spoke.

"Did you just realize that?" Mu Chen said, speechless.

"Millennium Cold Toad, Emperor Domain, you are seeking death." Elder Yi’s killing intent soared, and even the walls around them, as well as the stone slabs of the floor, started cracking, the terrifying power shocked Mu Chen.

"How terrifying, he must have reached the God Realm at least!" Mu Chen quietly remarked as his pupils changed.

"I apologize, I lost control," Elder Yi’s face changed as he spoke, immediately suppressing his aura.

"It doesn’t matter, I might have been even more terrifying than you."

"No matter what, I owe you a favor. If there’s anything you can’t resolve in the future, you can come to me," Elder Yi earnestly said.

"So? Will you continue?"

"I have no choice. Even knowing it’s a plot, I’ll go all the way," Elder Yi said indifferently. He wouldn’t just watch his grandson die.

"I see. Actually, this Cold Toad Seal can be broken."

"Do you have a way?" Elder Yi’s face changed drastically as he spoke.

"Right now, I can only perform the Seventh Needle of Divine Protection. Perhaps with the Eighth Needle, it might be possible to break it."

"You can only perform the Seventh Needle now?"

"Yes, but the Seventh Needle of Divine Protection can suppress everything. So, to completely eliminate it, you can only wait for me to break through the Mythical Realm," Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Mythical Realm is nothing. You’ve already reached the Legend Peak Realm. I will help you break through to the Mythical Realm right now."

"Elder Yi, there’s something odd about my body; I can’t break through yet."

"How do you know if you don’t try?" Elder Yi said, and immediately moved behind Mu Chen. A powerful energy surged forth, crazily entering Mu Chen’s body, feeling like a divine enlightenment.

"What vast energy," Mu Chen’s expression changed. The energy crazily entered his body, and, running the Divine Dragon Technique, the energy was transformed into his own. However, he was still unable to break through, even as the energy violently hit the vortex of his Legend Peak Realm.

Normally, the inability to break through means the energy is no longer useful, and if the breakthrough fails, it will gradually dissipate. However, Mu Chen’s vortex kept absorbing the energy without letting it vanish.

"I used up a year’s worth of power, and yet you still can’t break through," Elder Yi said, shocked.

"Elder Yi, no need to rush. I’ll just temporarily suppress everything with the Seventh Needle. When the opportunity comes for me to break through the Mythical Realm, I will naturally find you."

"You don’t have to come to me; I’ll just wait here."

"All right then, I’m going to start the acupuncture now."

"Yes."

"Little friend, don’t be scared. Uncle is just going to treat you, okay?"

The child nodded, instinctively trusting Mu Chen.

Mu Chen didn’t say anything further. The silver needle appeared, and a powerful energy surged forth as he shouted: "Divine Protection."

As his voice fell, the silver needle pierced into the child’s heart area, and a strong energy flooded into the child’s body. Mu Chen merely reinforced the seal, preventing the cold air from escaping.

Divine Protection was just capable of this, blocking the seal and stopping the flow of energy.

Time sped by swiftly, and after ten minutes, Mu Chen finally withdrew the silver needle, having successfully applied Divine Protection.

"Is it done?" Elder Yi’s face changed as he asked.

"It’s done for now. I will leave first, Elder Yi," Mu Chen said.

"Mu Chen, I owe you a great debt of gratitude, I will repay you."

"There’s no need for repayment. However, when the time comes, the Millennium Cold Toad is mine," Mu Chen said with a smile.

"That won’t do, I, Elder Yi, am a man of my word; iron-clad and steadfast. The repayment is certain. Of course, the Millennium Cold Toad is yours if you want it."

"Then I’ll thank you in advance. Also, I really have to go now. It’s already nine o’clock; my wife must be waiting for me."

"Yes." Elder Yi didn’t hold him back.

"Uncle, thank you," the child said to Mu Chen, looking up at him earnestly despite being very weak.

"You will surely achieve great things," Mu Chen said and then suddenly disappeared.

"Grandpa, what does ’achieve great things’ mean?"

"It means to praise you."

"I was praised too."

"Yes..." Elder Yi said, his eyes moistening.

After Mu Chen left, he immediately returned to the villa. As soon as he got back, Liu Yuxi had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

"Wife, when did you get up?" Mu Chen remembered he had only left for about fifteen minutes and was surprised to find Liu Yuxi had made breakfast already.

"You’re so engrossed in your cultivation that you wouldn’t notice me," Liu Yuxi said helplessly.

"That’s true." Mu Chen scratched his head, feeling that he might have been too absorbed in his cultivation without paying attention to anything else.

"But who was that old man? Were you sparring just now?"

"He asked me to treat his grandson’s illness."

"Did you cure him?"

"It might take some time."

"Alright, hurry up and eat your breakfast. I’m going upstairs to change and then I’ll head to work."

"Wife, you go to work every day. Can’t you take a day off for yourself?" Mu Chen said seriously.

"A day off? I’m the CEO. The company is so large and there are so many things to deal with every day. I don’t have that leisure time. Moreover, for a day off, where would you have me go?" After Liu Yuxi finished speaking, she hurriedly went upstairs.

"It looks like I’ll need to find time to take my wife out. But tomorrow is when Divine calls, so it will have to wait," Mu Chen said helplessly.

Mu Chen was no longer in the mood to think about anything else. He hurried to finish his breakfast, then escorted Liu Yuxi into Qingcheng International, and after that, he returned to the sales department. As soon as he got back, he saw Yao Yue there; Dongfang Aoxue had taken the day off.

Mu Chen spent around ten minutes chatting with the ladies before taking Yao Yue upstairs to attend to her.

However, because some of the sales department ladies were tracking them, Mu Chen went to an even higher floor with Yao Yue, attending to her for a full hour.

"Husband, are you really going to leave for a while?"

"Are you going to miss me?"

"What should I do if I miss you?" Yao Yue’s face changed as she spoke.

"No worries, when you miss me, just look at my photo. As handsome as I am, the photo is even better."

"Shameless. But I understand, I’ll wait for you to come back."

"That’s a good girl. Don’t worry; it won’t be for long," Mu Chen said with a smile.

"You scoundrel. We’ll set that aside for now. You’ve torn my black stockings. When I go back, it will be noticed."
