Chapter 462: Chapter 430: Pampering_1
“Are you really Xu Mu?”
Despite repeated confirmations, Nan Hu still found it hard to believe.
The disabled boy he had casually picked up in the mountains had miraculously appeared before him, saving his life like a savior.
This narrative was even more implausible than a novel.
“Who else could it be but me? Let’s go, I’ll take you to Yue.”
After he finished speaking, Xu Mu turned around and walked away.
“Right! Yue!”
Upon hearing about Yue, Nan Hu no longer cared about whether Xu Mu was genuine or not. As long as Yue could be saved, it didn’t matter even if Xu Mu was fake.
“Let’s go find those human traffickers first. They must know where Yue was sold.”
Despite his weak body, Nan Hu hurriedly ran outside.
However, his body was too weak. After only running a few steps, he felt dizzy and almost fell, but Xu Mu reached out and steadied him.
“Don’t worry, I’ve saved her. She’ll be fine after taking some medicine when we get back.”
He had already examined Yue’s condition during the auction. To prevent Yue from escaping or committing suicide, she had been given some mind-controlling drugs.
Since he didn’t know the exact composition of the drug, he didn’t immediately rescue her. He also worried about Nan Hu’s safety, so he decided to rescue her temporarily first, then go back to treat Yue.
“You’ve saved her already?”
Nan Hu was shocked and increasingly unable to believe what he was seeing and hearing.
Had he already died?
How else could he explain such an incredible turn of events?
Xu Mu didn’t bother explaining too much. He grabbed Nan Hu’s shoulder, and the two disappeared in an instant.
He first took Nan Hu to his residence, then returned to the auction house to bring Yue back.
All the people at the auction house had behaved themselves during his absence; no one dared to take advantage of the situation.
Of course, they weren’t capable of taking such advantage. After all, there was a Martial Saint and several Martial Arts Grandmasters on guard there.
No one could harm the mind-controlled Yue unless all the Martial Arts Grandmasters in the country took action together.
The Martial Arts Grandmaster from Yuan Tong Business Firm smartly sent over the antidote.
He had originally wanted to help Yue regain consciousness during the auction, but Xiao Tian Yuan was afraid that he might play tricks and didn’t dare let him get close.
So only after Xu Mu came back, he personally helped Yue remove the mind-controlling effect.
“Elder Brother Mu, why are you here?”
Yue looked at the luxurious room and at Xu Mu, whom she had missed for a long time, and couldn’t believe what was happening.
She was captured by slave traders and according to what they said, she didn’t think her fate would be pleasant. She thought she would never wake up, but not only did she wake up, she suddenly found herself in a dreamlike state.
“I saw you at the auction and saved you.” Xu Mu said lightly, wearing a smile on his face.
Only those who were at the auction knew how much trouble Xu Mu had stirred up to save her.
Of course, to Xu Mu, this so-called trouble was just as trivial as Yue cooking a meal for him.
“Really? Am I dreaming?”
Yue still couldn’t believe it, feeling as if she was in a dream.
“Of course it’s true. Come on, let’s eat something.”
Xu Mu stood up and said.
“Oh!”
Yue was still dazed, her brain short-circuited. Only when she walked out of the room and saw Nan Hu pacing anxiously did she somewhat regain her senses.
“Uncle Nan Hu!”
“Miss!”
Nan Hu excitedly broke into tears.
He thought he would never see Yue again. But not only did he see her again, but she was also safe and sound.
This was undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world for him.
“Is all of this real? What the hell happened, Nan Hu, do you know?” Yue wanted to confirm again.
Nan Hu told Yue about the news he heard from Zhang Ergou.
The more Yue heard, the more shocked she was. She couldn’t believe so much had happened during her unconsciousness.
“Elder Brother Mu, will you be okay?”
After hearing that because of her, Xu Mu had offended Yuan Tong Business Firm and that a Martial Emperor might come to make trouble in the future, she was most worried about Xu Mu.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one in this world should be able to harm you.”
The strongest person in this world was a Martial God, but a Martial God hadn’t appeared for hundreds of years.
Even a real Martial God was just at the Nascent Soul stage, and couldn’t compete with him.
This was why Xu Mu was so fearless.
“Is it really?” Yue still had some doubts.
She was not a naive young girl without any experience. What she heard on the way when she was escaping for years, as well as what Nan Hu told her, made her know the strength of Yuan Tong Business Firm and the horror of a Martial Emperor.
“Don’t think too much, eat some food, replenish your strength, and get some rest. You’ve become so skinny.”
Xu Mu didn’t explain further, leading her to the dining room.
The servants had prepared a lavish meal, collecting all the delicacies available in Imperial City.
Xiao Tian Yuan, Yin Wen, and others stood guard by the side.
The sight of various delicious dishes quickly pulled the young girl out of her recent upheaval and immersed her into a pleasant future.
“Elder Brother Mu, this is so delicious, have some!”
Yue gave Xu Mu some roast meat she had half-eaten.
“Okay!”
Xu Mu did not show any disdain, accepting it with a smile and eating heartily.
Yin Wen and others at the side felt a sour feeling at the sight.
When had they ever seen Xu Mu treat a person like this? He rarely even smiled at them, let alone expressed concern.
Although he seldom rebuked them, his cold demeanor made everyone dare not overstep the line.
Now, Yue’s bold move to feed Xu Mu leftovers left them in awe.
Even Xiao Tian Yuan was somewhat startled, fearing that in his anger, Xu Mu would kill Yue with a slap.
Seeing Xu Mu now, not only continually smiling but also extremely indulgent towards Yue, everyone was green with envy.
If they had such a brother, they could walk sideways across the continent in the future.
Nan Hu didn’t react much because when he first saved Xu Mu, Yue interacted with Xu Mu in the same way, and he saw nothing wrong with it.
If it wasn’t for Xu Mu’s disability and his risky arrival, he might have agreed to their relationship, hide their identities, and live the rest of their lives in peace.
But he never imagined that things would change so quickly.
The Xu Mu he once didn’t think much of had now become too high for him to reach.
He hoped Xu Mu would remember their old ties and protect Yue’s peaceful life.
After they had eaten almost everything, Yue suddenly remembered to ask Xu Mu about his hands and feet.
“I made myself a prosthetic limb.”
Xu Mu simply removed it and showed it to Yue. Seeing this, Xiao Tian Yuan’s eyes widened. He didn’t know Xu Mu was wearing a prosthetic limb.
