Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 657: 657 Ye Lanfeng’s Romance

Following that, Mu Hanyan entered the carriage to cultivate. Mu Cheng, fearful of her encountering any mishaps, did not dare to cultivate and instead sat outside the carriage with Han Jinglun, acting as her protector.

Drawing the curtains, Mu Hanyan did not immediately start cultivating but instead took out the Exotic Beast Egg.

On the road to Cangshan City, she had been guessing continuously. Her streak of good fortune, almost impossible to describe as anything but defying the heavens, was not without reason, she speculated. Quite naturally, she thought of the Exotic Beast Egg.

Not long ago, a warmth had surged into her Heart Meridian, followed by a point of light that led her to discover the Hidden Meridian, allowing her to overcome a life-threatening crisis and achieve a breakthrough, which had astonished her greatly. Thinking back, it seemed that the Exotic Beast Egg was the only explanation.

However, since her breakthrough, the Exotic Beast Egg had settled down, no longer bouncing around behind her as if it had entered a deep sleep, and she could not even ask it a few probing questions. Unfortunately, the Star Illusion Thousand Machine was also in deep sleep, unable to provide her with answers.

”If it really is this helping me, what kind of Divine Beast must it be to possess such Divine Skills?” Mu Hanyan placed the Exotic Beast Egg back against her chest and suddenly recalled Ling Baobao’s greatly envious remark about a well-developed chest muscle, and she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Setting aside her distractions, Mu Hanyan finally began cultivating.

Yan Yuchu, who had previously claimed to be at the Sword Master Realm, actually had severely limited strength, far below that of other Sword Masters of his level, and even less than her current combat power. But now, having ascended to Second Rank, he possessed the combat power of a third tier, which even she and Dai Songling had underestimated; clearly, this was the result of the condensation and purification by the Nine Heavens Star Power.

And the benefits she received from Yan Yuchu were even greater, also possessing the vast power left behind by Mu Tianlie, which ensured that her future achievements would definitely surpass those of Yan Yuchu.

Cycling through her cultivation technique over and over, Mu Hanyan discovered that, though she was at the peak of a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman, just a step or even half a step away from entering the Sword Master realm, the Qi required was also frighteningly vast. According to a normal pace of cultivation, it was unknown how many years it would take to advance, and perhaps it might never happen in her lifetime.

Had it been before, Mu Hanyan might have been at her wits’ end, but now, she was not worried at all.

First, after her Heavenly Heart Technique had advanced again, her cultivation speed was akin to covering a thousand miles in a day, simply incomparable to other Swordsmen. What others could not achieve, she possibly could.

Second, deep in her Heart Meridian, a part of the Star Power left by Mu Tianlie remained unrefined. Although, upon introspection, it seemed only a small part was left, it was the most core portion, and refining it should suffice to advance her to the Sword Master realm.

Thirdly, let’s not forget Yan Yuchu, the lively Divine Pill capable of leaping about. If it came down to missing just a little, she could just call him over to help.

Yes, it would be helping him as well. Recalling Yan Yuchu’s grateful demeanor, Mu Hanyan found it amusing herself—how come she felt she had the potential to be a God-man?

Having steadied her mind, Mu Hanyan cycled through the Heavenly Heart Technique over and over again, slowly refining the Star Power left by Mu Tianlie while solidifying her cultivation.

Several days passed, and Mu Hanyan continued to immerse herself in cultivation. One evening, they lodged in a small town. Since there were no concerns weighing him down, Mu Cheng felt relaxed. After dinner, still feeling unsatisfied, he went out to buy a roasted pork leg.

Han Jinglun felt somewhat exhausted and went to bed early.

Mu Hanyan, however, found herself unable to sleep. Leaning by the window, she stared intently at the bright moon in the sky, lost in thought. Suddenly, Ye Lanfeng’s unmatched handsome face flashed through her mind. Even now, she was unaware of Ye Lanfeng’s true identity, yet he had helped her time and again. Moreover, there was an undeniable fact... Mu Hanyan gently placed her hand over her heart, a complex expression crossing her face.

The undeniable fact was that Ye Lanfeng had already invaded her heart.

”Ang—!” Suddenly, a strange noise abruptly rang out beside Mu Hanyan’s ear.

Startled, Mu Hanyan looked down and saw a small, furry animal standing on her windowsill, its dark, round eyes staring intently at her.

What kind of animal was this? Why wasn’t it afraid of humans? Mu Hanyan carefully examined the small creature that had suddenly appeared on the windowsill. It was palm-sized, round and fluffy all over, with tiny ears and eyes black like grapes, its four paws struggling to extend from its fluffy body. Its adorable appearance was irresistibly cute no matter how one looked at it.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan realized something—this little animal had appeared before her, and she was completely unaware of it. Given her current strength, her Six Senses were incredibly keen, yet she hadn’t noticed when this little animal had appeared.

This little animal...

Mu Hanyan’s gaze shifted as she looked at the creature. Could it be that this was no ordinary animal?

”I am Angang! You are really too stupid. I really don’t know what the master was thinking,” said the round, furry little animal, speaking human language with a tone of disdain as Mu Hanyan was guessing inside.

”Angang?” Mu Hanyan’s lips twitched slightly. That name sounded like the honk of a goose. Wait, that’s not the point! The point was, the small animal in front of her was a Exotic Beast, and not just an ordinary Exotic Beast, but something even more advanced than Exotic Beasts?

”Yes, Mu Hanyan, that’s right! The scent is correct,” confirmed Angang, sniffing with its little nose.

”You came specifically to find me?” Mu Hanyan was both surprised and curious. The furry ball looked really cute and smart. Master, to whom does this furball belong? For some reason, Mu Hanyan’s mind suddenly flashed with Ye Lanfeng’s face. There was no reason—just an intuition that this pet had some connection with Ye Lanfeng.

”Of course! This is for you.” Angang bent slightly, sticking up its chubby little butt, and struggling to fumble with something on its belly.

Mu Hanyan looked closely and saw a small pouch on Angang’s belly. Its small paw was digging hard inside it. Seeing it struggling to bend over, Mu Hanyan feared that its chubby body might not stay balanced and fall, so she slightly reached out her hand to catch it should it fall.

Her concern was not unfounded, as Angang, being too spherical, found bending over too difficult. It lost its balance, tumbled, and fell off the windowsill. Mu Hanyan quickly reached out and caught Angang in the palm of her hand.

Angang sat in the palm of Mu Hanyan’s hand, stunned, staring up at her with wide eyes.

Thinking she had scared it, Mu Hanyan asked gently and anxiously, ”Are you alright?”
