Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Master Ye Mistaken for a Servant Again

Unfortunately, they spoke too late. Of course, Huayue and the others had long regarded Mu Hanyan as a dear friend and partner, sharing life and death together. They could not possibly abandon Mu Hanyan to save themselves based on the words of others.

Although they knew the gap between a Great Sword Master and a Sword Saint, and realized that all their efforts might be in vain, the group did not hesitate for a moment. Facing the menacing fangs and large mouth, they thrust forward with all their might.

”I originally didn’t intend to kill today, but since you are so eager to die, I’ll oblige you.” Nian An Yao said ruthlessly, murderous intent flashing from his blood-red eyes.

The Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast opened its massive mouth and let out a fierce roar, expanding instantly to engulf Huayue and the others under its fangs.

Overwhelming pressure washed over, causing Huayue and the others’ expressions to change drastically. They were so oppressed by the force that they could not move, only able to watch helplessly as the monstrous mouth closed abruptly.

The head of the Fang Family turned pale with fright, almost too afraid to keep watching.

The others around let out a sigh, seemingly already envisioning the scene where these loyal guards meet their tragic end.

”I told you, they think they’re being loyal and brave, but they’re just courting death.” Qu Fengting said with a cold sneer, feeling an inexplicable pleasure.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, his smile froze, his mouth agape as if it could fit a large duck egg.

A hand gently rested on the beast’s head, its fingers so slender, so clean, and so gentle, as if pressing on strings of a zither rather than the ferocious head of the Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast.

What stunned everyone was that, under the gentle pressure of this hand, the beast’s head could not advance a single inch, suspended in mid-air along with Nian An Yao.

And the person who intervened was one of Mu Hanyan’s guards.

How could this be? The fierce Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast, filled with murderous intent, was actually subdued by a single guard of Mu Hanyan, unable to move an inch!

Everyone could see that Nian An Yao’s Beast Taming technique, though impressive, relied more crucially on the strength of his Sword Pet. This guard, by subduing the Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast, had essentially crippled Nian An Yao, leaving him unable to even utilize the power of a Sixth-level Sword Master.

If it had been Mu Hanyan who intervened, no matter how unexpected, people might have accepted it, considering he is the Mu Family Patriarch’s grandson and might know some strange and mysterious arts or carry rare treasures.

But the fact that it was merely one of his guards, someone whom everyone had thought was inevitably doomed just moments ago—this was something people couldn’t fathom.

It’s one thing for the master to be strong, but how could even a servant guard be this extraordinary?

Looking at Ye Lanfeng’s handsome and calm demeanor, no one could understand what kind of virtue or ability Mu Hanyan, the Capital’s most notorious playboy, had to attract such a powerful guard.

”Who, who are you?” Nian An Yao asked in fear.

”I suppose... I’m one of Young Master Mu’s henchmen.” Ye Lanfeng thought for a moment, then slowly said, giving an answer that made everyone feel like coughing up blood.

Such a master, boldly claiming to be Mu Hanyan’s henchmen?!

Shouldn’t he tactfully say he was Mu Hanyan’s guard or something?

His leisurely tone made it seem as if he were handling a docile little rabbit, whereas the Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast now hung its head, unmoving, lacking any trace of the majesty and ferocity of a Beast King, resembling indeed a compliant little rabbit.

”Alright, you can make your move now.” Ye Lanfeng withdrew his palm, ignoring the astonished and uncertain looks from the crowd, and said to Mu Hanyan.

”Do we really have to make a move? Isn’t that a bit too cruel?” Mu Hanyan hesitated and asked.

Beside him, Huayue and the others looked at Mu Hanyan with strange expressions. Although their playboy Young Master did not like to get his hands dirty, once he did, he’d never show leniency. How could he have a change of heart today? Has he discovered his conscience? Reluctant to make a move?

”I just think, since you can subdue this Exotic Beast, why not tame it and play with it?” Mu Hanyan felt embarrassed under their gaze and explained, eyes twinkling with little golden stars.

Hmm... Those little stars also appeared in his eyes every time he got his hands on large silver notes.

Huayue and the others instinctively wiped their foreheads. They’d thought their master had rarely found his conscience—that was until they realized he’d merely become greedy over someone else’s powerful Exotic Beast. Truly, Big Playboy Mu didn’t even disdain mosquito legs. Encountering such an exotic creature, he’d be strange if he didn’t covet it.

”This Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast is tied to Nian An Yao’s life and soul, guarding his life. It’s essentially his Life-bound Sword Pet. Even if you kill Nian An Yao, you won’t be able to tame it. Besides, are you making a move or not? I can’t restrain it for too long; once the prohibition fails, its ferocity will resurface.” Ye Lanfeng chuckled slightly and used Gathering Qi Transmission, finding Mu Hanyan’s little greediness rather cute.

”Oh, I see. Well, never mind then.” Mu Hanyan shrugged, casually saying it while delivering a slap.

While Mu Hanyan spoke nonchalantly, he showed no mercy in his slap, using all his power.

This time, most of Nian An Yao’s spirit was occupied with the Dragon Whisker Thunder Beast, yet the beast was restrained by Ye Lanfeng, leaving him defenseless against the attack.

Thus, Nian An Yao was once again sent flying like a kite with a broken string, spewing blood as he flew dozens of zhang away before crashing to the ground with a whistling noise like a falling star.

”Boom!” Dust soared, and a large pit formed on the ground from the impact.

Huayue and the others wiped their foreheads again, realizing that this truly was Big Playboy Mu. When he doesn’t make a move, it’s fine. But once he does, there’s no mercy.

The surrounding people were also stunned until now, finally recalling who stood before them—it was the most notorious playboy of the Capital. Nian An Yao had dared to provoke him; if he had succeeded, it would be one thing, but failing and ending up like this was not surprising in the least. They previously thought Mu Hanyan was showing mercy to Nian An Yao, but thinking now, only a brain full of nonsense would assume Mu Hanyan was pitying him. Would someone so ruthless be merciful?

Despite being overshadowed by the Fifth Prince’s hypocrisy, they did not feel aversion towards Mu Hanyan, but witnessing the true self of this notorious young master inevitably inspired awe.

The Fifth Prince and his retinue turned pale, believing that with Nian An Yao unleashing his ultimate skill, Mu Hanyan, no matter how talented, would surely meet his end. Yet they never expected, that a single servant—a mere servant—could easily turn the tide, causing Master Nian, renowned for decades in the Capital, to suffer such an unexpected downfall.

(Ye Lanfeng, face serious: Ladies, as the number one henchman of Big Playboy Mu, I am obliged to help my master gather some monthly tickets. Do any of you beautiful ladies have any monthly tickets in your fragrant pouches to spare for my master?

Zirong, dumbfounded: Wait, isn’t the number one henchman supposed to be me? There’s competition for this?

Huayue: You can’t beat Young Master Ye.

Zirong, unconvinced: Why?

Huayue: Because he’s more handsome than you.

Zirong: ...)
