Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 345 - Forget This!

Lin Muʼs mind went blank for a second after hearing the words of the woman. He looked at their faces and they were looking at him hungrily.

~Gulp~

”No, Iʼm fine with just Yue.” Lin Mu stated after building up a little bit of courage.

The servants all had crestfallen and teary expressions after hearing Lin Mu say that. Lin Mu even felt bad in his heart and hesitated a bit. He was about to say something when his mind suddenly became alert.

ʼWait, why am I acting like this? Why do I care about these servants?ʼ Lin Mu questioned himself.

”Looks like you finally understood,” Xukong spoke in Lin Muʼs mind.

”Wha…” Lin Mu was going to ask but then realized it himself.

”The food! Itʼs drugged too!” Lin Mu shouted in his mind.

Now Lin Mu was no longer feeling pity for the servants rather he was feeling angry. It was fine at first since the incense that was drugged was for everyone that visited the Alluring wisteria pavilion but now this… this was specifically targeting him.

A few suspicious points appeared in Lin Muʼs mind; these people had not asked him for any payment and yet were offering all these services. He couldnʼt help but realize that their motive behind drugging him was for nothing good.

Thin red veins appeared in Lin Muʼs eyes as his aura changed. The awkward expression that was on his face was changing. Yue was sitting the closest to Lin Mu and could sense all the changes. She had served plenty of cultivators and while she wasnʼt one, she was not unfamiliar to spirit qi.

If it were not for her inability to get a cultivation technique, she could even be said to have an above average talent for cultivation. She sensed the changes in Lin Mu and twisted her neck to look at him.

”Eek-” Yue had almost let out a cry but immediately calmed her mouth shut.

A dangerous aura was leaking out of Lin Mu, and Yue could see his eyes. She didnʼt know what had happened, but she was not feeling as inclined to serve this boy anymore. She traced his gaze and saw that he was looking at the servants.

The servants meanwhile were still kneeling on the floor, but a big difference could be seen this time.

ʼThe servants! Theyʼre… in pain?ʼ Yue realized, seeing their expressions.

The servants could not move and were frozen in their positions. Beads of sweat dripped off their foreheads as their clothes stuck to their body. Some of them that were a bit stronger could even be seen shivering. While the others were simply petrified in terror.

The leading servant who had brought the food was sitting upright and the pain could be seen in her eyes that had gone red with tears dripping down the corners.

”Young- Young Lord!” Yue said with hesitation.

~Gulp~

”Pl-please! I beg for forgiveness if weʼve offended you in any manner,” Yue spoke while her hands trembled.

She could find the courage in her to touch Lin Mu either or she would have held onto his legs and begged him even more.

”Tame your mind!” Xukong suddenly said.

Lin Mu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Gently chanting some words in a low voice, he dispelled the anger that had clouded his mind.

ʼThe Burning heart sutra… itʼs still not fully controllable,ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself.

~Thud~

~Thud~

~Thud~

Lin Mu opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of someone falling and saw that some of the servants had collapsed on the ground after the aura had been lifted off them.

~Sob~

~Sniff~

The ones that were weaker had directly fainted while the stronger ones were now crying, unable to hold back anymore.

~Sigh~

”Begone…” Lin Mu ordered and turned his gaze away from them to focus on the food instead.

He paid no more attention to them and the servants felt this. From the presence that he exuded, Yue could tell that they were nothing but dirt to him and that they had perhaps overstepped their boundaries. But she still could not find the reason behind the boyʼs anger.

ʼNO WAY! Can it be?ʼ Yue suddenly thought of something.

She looked at the food and calmly picked up some of the rice and ate it. A few seconds after she swallowed it though, she understood the reason.

ʼDAMMIT! These bitches! Acting without knowing who the customer is, now theyʼve ruined it for me too.ʼ Yue thought with anger in her eyes.

She stood up and kicked the leading servant on her head.

”GO AWAY! Did you not hear the Young Lord?” Yue ordered.

”Ye-Yes mistress…” The leading servant stuttered and dragged herself out.

The other servants who were crying pulled out the three that had fainted as well.

”Know this… the owner will hear of this insolence youʼve done,” Yue said will giving the leading servant a look of despise.

She then closed the door and sat beside Lin Mu again.

”Young Lord…” She whispered into Lin Muʼs ear. Lin Mu tensed up for a bit as her breath tickled his ear.

”Yue will do her best to please you tonight for the blunder that happened…” she said and trailed her finger across his neck.

”So please… forget this~~” She muttered while her hand traveled down Lin Muʼs body.

~snap~

”Eek”

The chopstick Lin Mu was using broke in his hands as Yue flinched. He looked into her eyes and spoke a few words.

”No , forget this-” He stated.

”Wha-” Before Yue could ask she felt her mind going dull and then she fainted.

Seeing that the woman was fully knocked out, Lin Mu stopped chanting the severing heart sutra and sighed.

”The night just keeps on getting worse… perhaps I should have just returned to the courtyard directly.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu was originally going to use the memory confounding powder to knock out Yue, but seeing that the situation would only get out of control, he simply used the severing heart sutra.

”At least I learned a new use of the severing heart sutra…”
