Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 651: 651 Han Yan’s meticulous planning every step of the way

After struggling to pry off the green tiles above his head, Dai Songling had a large lump swelling on his scalp, looking like the Buddha descending from the legends; unfortunately, there was no golden light gathering atop his head.

”Divine Artifact, you actually have a Protective Divine Artifact on you,” Dai Songling looked at Mu Hanyan and said through gritted teeth.

He realized that the artifact Mu Hanyan carried was purely for defense, without the slightest ability to counterattack. With his strength, even if he couldn’t break through her defenses, he wouldn’t suffer a loss.

However, he had been injured in his internal organs by Mu Hanyan’s two palm strikes earlier, causing his strength to greatly diminish. With his last palm strike, he had given his all without reserve. As a result, his palm’s might was completely neutralized by Mu Hanyan’s Protective Divine Artifact, and against her palm strike, he had no strength to resist.

He had been outmaneuvered; from the very first palm strike, Mu Hanyan had been outsmarting him.

”Sorry, I forgot to tell you,” said Mu Hanyan with a relaxed and pleased face.

She was also aware that even with the Cangxuan Cloud Silk defending her, she could not defeat Dai Songling. A single instance of Absolute Defense merely meant she had one more chance to save her own life—once that chance was used, she still had no real chance of winning.

So from the start, she had planned everything. The initial two palm strikes concealed part of her strength, taking advantage of Dai Songling’s underestimation and arrogance to injure his internal organs, followed by a full-force third strike, even deliberately making it seem more terrifying than it was. In this situation, Dai Songling would be forced into a corner and clash with her with all his might, sparing no effort. The Cangxuan Cloud Silk could then show its fullest effect.

Dai Songling did not disappoint her, step by step, he fell into her trap, ultimately suffering heavy injuries and loss.

Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun looked at Mu Hanyan with admiration, and many of their questions were answered.

They had always been curious as to why Pang Dezong would give the box containing the Cangxuan Cloud Silk to Mu Hanyan. If it was to harm her, then where did the Cangxuan Cloud Silk go?

It wasn’t until now that they realized that the Cangxuan Cloud Silk was on Mu Hanyan’s person. Recalling Pang Dezong’s prior behavior, they could roughly guess how the Cangxuan Cloud Silk came into Mu Hanyan’s hands.

It was very likely that when Mu Hanyan went to see Pang Dezong, she happened upon the Cangxuan Cloud Silk and asked for it. Pang Dezong, trying to keep her quiet, couldn’t refuse directly, so he gave her the incompletely refined Divine Artifact as a pretext. As luck would have it, Mu Hanyan’s fortune was through the roof, and she managed to refine the artifact. Pang Dezong, with his pride in his status, could not deny it and had to honor his word by giving the Cangxuan Cloud Silk to her. It was like a mute swallowing bitter gall—he could hardly express the frustration in his heart.

That’s why Pang Dezong had meant to make things difficult for Mu Hanyan before, only to be scared off by Ye Lanfeng’s Token. Here again, they were curious, what exactly was Ye Lanfeng’s identity? Why did revealing the Token change Pang Dezong’s expression?

It must be said, both Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun were clever in their deductions, which were very close to the mark, except for a slight deviation in Pang Dezong’s original intent with the Cangxuan Cloud Silk. Of course, all of this was because they had witnessed firsthand Mu Hanyan’s incredible good fortune; others wouldn’t even guess, and even if they were told, they might not believe it. That Cangxuan Cloud Silk, even Pang Dezong’s teacher could not fully refine. How could Mu Hanyan possibly have such an ability?

”Divine Artifact, so that golden light just now was from the Divine Artifact!”

”Truly a descendant of the Beijing Family, to possess such a peerless treasure,” at that moment, the surrounding crowd finally snapped back to reality, exclaiming with awe.

Now that it was known Mu Hanyan had a Divine Artifact on her, her victory over Dai Songling was no longer surprising.
