My stunning iceberg CEO wife

Chapter 218: Chapter 217 You Must Be in Great Pain (2)

Several other young men were even more merciless, moving swiftly to dodge the ax and appearing in front of everyone, punching hard at the heart, sending people flying with a single blow, as fresh blood spurted out, utterly unable to withstand a hit.

Within a few seconds, more than a dozen people were blown away, the young fighters not even breaking a sweat.

”Nothing but Black Level Realm trash, daring to challenge our Purple Rank authority, simply seeking death,” the young men said disdainfully.

”Go cripple their limbs immediately.”

”Yes, boss.”

”Please, no...”

But pleas were futile; the young men were ruthless and crippled the limbs of more than a dozen people, rendering them completely disabled.

”So, is it time to go get the money?” the bald youth asked Zheng Liang.

”Understood, understood, I’ll go right away,” Zheng Liang said fearfully.

”Then let’s go!” Saying this, the bald youth immediately grabbed Zheng Liang and left the suite.

In Yao Yue’s room, time seemed to stand still.

”Mu Chen, will you ever abandon me?”

”I, Mu Chen, swear I will never do so in my life.”

”Your words relieve my worries. What I worry about the most are the scars on your back,” Yao Yue said, glancing at the terrifying web-like scars that stretched across Mu Chen’s back.

”They’re from the past; it’s no big deal,” Mu Chen replied earnestly.

”Rogue, I still don’t know your true origins, but I don’t want to know too much. Just tell me the stories behind these scars,” Yao Yue said, looking at Mu Chen calmly.

”I was a soldier, and these scars are from that time.”

”You were a soldier?” Yao Yue exclaimed in surprise.

”What’s so strange about that? Just a soldier, nothing to be proud of.”

”That’s not necessarily true. Ever since I was young, I have always admired the military; I thought it was very impressive.”

”It is impressive, but not everyone can endure the hardship behind it.”

”It sounds so simple; I want to hear the story,” Yao Yue said eagerly.

”Do you really want to know?”

”Yes.”

”Alright then, since you’re my woman, there’s no harm in telling you. I joined the military at sixteen, and because of my excellent performance, I kept ascending deeper into the military ranks, even fortunate enough to join the Dragon Teeth Army. That’s when I truly encountered another level of things. However, joining meant dedicating one’s life to Yun Country, facing various kinds of missions every day. I was willing. In the process of carrying out each and every mission, I slowly formed a group of brothers who’ve been through life and death with me. Perhaps only they taught me what true life-and-death brotherhood means—they would take a bullet for you, sacrifice their lives so you could escape. That is what true brothers are. Later, because I performed too well, I was transferred to Soul Slash and exposed to even more things, similar to Dragon Teeth. However, I stayed with Soul Slash for two years and grew quite attached. After some events, I had to leave the military, and my service ended when I was twenty.”

”Even though I don’t quite understand, I know that you must have been on constant missions in those two to three years, accumulating scars,” Yao Yue deduced.

”Mhm,” Mu Chen responded, patting Yao Yue’s hair.

”It must have been very painful for you,” Yao Yue said, tears streaming down.

”It wasn’t painful. Back then, my heart was dead. I never spared a glance for women, but that also led me to become more flirtatious later on.”

”Heart dead and flirtatious?”

”Because during my time with Dragon Soul, there was a woman who was infatuated with me, a beauty on par with Liu Yuxi, who always wanted to be with me. But I didn’t agree. However, later she died to save me, just like that, died in front of me. Do you know that feeling? It’s a hundred times more painful than killing me.”

”Rogue, you...” Yao Yue’s gaze changed, as Mu Chen’s eyes suddenly turned blood red, an intimidating look that could seemingly destroy everything, stirring an involuntary fear.

”Later, I figured it out. If I meet someone who likes me and whom I like, I wouldn’t give up; I would always protect her.”

”But aren’t you very strong?”

”Strong, so what? Back then, I wasn’t a god; I was just a Transcendent in the Middle Stage. With dozens of Transcendents and scores of Grandmasters attacking, facing all sorts of merciless weapons, for the first time, I knew the feeling of powerlessness without strength,” Mu Chen said, his gaze turning even colder as red energy surged out.

”Rogue, it’s all in the past, don’t think about it anymore.”

”Mhm, I understand.”

”Thank you for telling me so much about your secrets. I also know that I have a place in your heart,” Yao Yue said, feeling blissful.

”Silly woman,” Mu Chen remarked faintly.

”But rogue, I can’t cook for you anymore; you’ve made it so I can’t get up,” Yao Yue said with a touch of grievance.

”No worries, I’ll cook for you,” Mu Chen said earnestly.

”You know how to cook?” Yao Yue asked, astonished.

”A good man, of course, knows how.”

”I don’t believe it.”

”Just you wait and see!” Mu Chen said, promptly leaving the room and going out.

”He wouldn’t really know how to cook, would he!” Yao Yue said, somewhat shocked.

Soon after, Mu Chen arrived in the kitchen and began busying himself.

In about an hour, Mu Chen finally finished cooking—three dishes and a fish soup.

However, at one point, Yao Yue couldn’t bear it any longer, and stumbled to the dining table, watching Mu Chen’s every move. In her eyes shone endless joy.
