Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 229: 229, what’s there to pity!

”Master, don’t scare me, what are we going to do if you’re gone?” The two young disciples were so frightened that they rushed up, crying and wailing as if grieving.

Mu Shanling stretched out his arm as if he wanted something but couldn’t say what it was.

”Master, we are here, we are all here.” One of the young disciples gripped their master’s hand, choking up as he spoke.

”What good is it if you’re here, I want a pig’s leg, a pig’s leg!” Mu Shanling caught his breath and cursed loudly.

Uh... both disciples simultaneously stopped their crying. If the master still wanted a pig’s leg, then it meant he was fine, right?

With this doubt in mind, the two disciples ran to the table, grabbed the remaining pig’s leg, and didn’t leave out chicken or duck legs either.

Mu Shanling wasted no words, took the pig’s leg, and started to devour it, laughing heartily from time to time, looking very satisfied and proud.

Seeing his way of eating, the disciples knew he was truly alright. Although it was strange that he could vomit so much blood and still be fine, they still felt relieved.

Mu Hanyan recalled all the Hand Formations made by Mu Shanling and verified them with the Heavenly Heart Technique, making sure there were no discrepancies. These were only the Hand Formations from the first page, so the corresponding Cultivation Technique was only a part, but together, they had greatly sped up her cultivation.

Mu Hanyan was very much looking forward to it. Once she mastered all the Hand Formations from the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, how would her cultivation change?

”Master Qu, are you feeling better? If you are, let’s continue,” Mu Hanyan said to Mu Shanling, full of anticipation.

”What, continue!” The pig’s leg in Mu Shanling’s hand dropped to the ground with a thud.

At this rate, not to mention a whole roasted suckling pig, even a whole roasted pig wouldn’t be enough to replenish him.

”Star Divination, like the Cultivation Path, values timely opportunity. You’ve just begun to grasp the hand gestures from the first page, which is a great opportunity. If you go with the flow, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you miss this opportunity, it’ll be twice as hard to learn, not to mention how much more blood you might vomit,” Mu Hanyan shook her head, putting on a godly demeanor, and began her tireless admonition once again.

”Oh, there’s this reasoning...” Mu Shanling was unsure whether to believe her, but he knew one thing: against the resolve of Big Playboy Mu, any opposition was futile. In fact, he was well aware that after vomiting a lot of blood, not only was his body fine, but it seemed even stronger.

Therefore, Qu the Godman had no choice but to believe and, with great reluctance, licked the pig’s leg that was gnawed down to just a big bone, stood up, cleaned his hands, and handed the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique to Mu Hanyan.

Mu Hanyan flipped to the second page, concentrated on inner vision, and carefully compared it with the Star Chart inside her Heart Meridian, completed the chart, and returned it to Mu Shanling.

Although Mu Shanling looked pallid, his spirit was unexpectedly good, as he scrutinized the Hand Formation several times before attempting it.

He had just executed a few moves when he stopped and said to his disciples, ”Go buy another roasted suckling pig, a bigger one this time.”

As he spoke, his expression was resolute, almost tragic.

Not to mention the two young disciples with tears in their eyes, even Huayue and Zirong felt sympathetic, and Mu Nan looked on with pity.

They say business isn’t meant for the kind-hearted, and the military isn’t for the compassionate. The business world is like a battlefield; when necessary, one must be ruthless.

They say to treat women as men and men as beasts, but under the hands of Big Playboy Mu, even cows and horses fared better. At least a horse running needs to be fed, but Qu the Godman even had to pay for his own food. But there was no choice, being a laborer without pay, and what’s worse, he had signed an indenture contract for twenty years.

Ah, the poor old god.

But when you think about it, poor my ass.

The old god had swindled countless people in the first half of his life. Now, retribution had come, and he was being dealt with by Mu Hanyan, looking so tragically.

So it’s not that he wouldn’t be recompensed, it’s just that the time hadn’t come yet.
