After being conquered by a silly and sweet girl, I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 299 Being a Demon Lord is Hard (18)

Wen Mulin held Chu Yizhi in his arms, and at first it seemed to be very effective, but soon, the body temperature that had recovered a little started to drop again.

Chu Yizhi began to tremble again, and his lips were pressed into a straight line.

It seemed that only the hand he was holding still had body temperature.

Realizing this, Wen Mulin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took off all his clothes.

After glancing at Chu Yizhi, who was dressed neatly, she decided to go all the way and ripped off all of Chu Yizhi's clothes as well.

Chu Yizhi's smooth and delicate skin was unlike that of someone who had practiced martial arts for many years. He had really lost a lot of weight, with only a thin layer of muscle remaining on his body.

Wen Mulin didn't dare to look too long before tucking Chu Yizhi back into the blankets. Their skin was pressed together, and his own hot skin made Chu Yizhi appear even colder.

Realizing this, Wen Mulin simply pulled him into a full embrace.

The person in his arms nuzzled him gently like a cat suffering from hypothermia. Wen Mulin closed his eyes, trying to remain calm, and unconsciously tightened his grip on Chu Yi's hand.

The next moment, Chu Yizhi hissed.

Wen Mulin opened his eyes instantly.

Chu Yizhi seemed to want to pull his hand away, but he had no strength, and his face was even paler than before.

Wen Mulin looked at the white powder left on his palm, puzzled, and sniffed it.

It's... pearl powder that my daughter uses as a face mask.

He felt a little strange. Why did Chu Shangyin have pearl powder on his hand?

Could it be that, even in his current predicament, he still longs for marital bliss?

Wen Mulin's face darkened, and he looked over coldly, his pupils immediately shrinking.

Without the pearl powder to cover it, the deep red mark on Chu Yizhi's wrist was immediately visible.

Wen Mulin then looked at his other hand.

really.

This hand has the same marks.

So he slowly lowered his head again to look at the body he had been intentionally avoiding.

Chu Yizhi's skin was already very fair, and just now, because it was so cold, it was almost like snow.

It was precisely because of this contrast that the two bright red marks extending from her abdomen to her chest became particularly noticeable.

Wen Mulin's heart sank.

He himself was not sure what he was feeling as he carefully examined Chu Yizhi from head to toe.

All he knew was that with each glance, the uncontrollable violence in his heart intensified.

In the end, his face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

Who exactly is it?

Who on earth dared to treat him like this!

Wen Mulin gritted his teeth, rubbing his palms against the marks, and came to an answer in his heart.

You Muxue!

Yes, he was almost certain of it.

The only one with a chance to get close to doing it is You Muxue!

-

The next day, when Chu Yizhi woke up, he smelled a strong aroma of food.

He stretched and yawned as he sat down facing a table full of delicious food. "Such a lavish meal so early in the morning!"

Wen Mulin sat to the side, seemingly lost in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

Thinking of last night, Chu Yi slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I was so tired last night that I accidentally fell asleep. Did they come looking for you?"

It's all You Muxue's fault. He was already feeling unwell, and after running around for so long, the Gu poison flared up last night. He couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

"Wen Mulin?"

"Young Master Wen? What's wrong?"

Could it be that the effects of the props from last night haven't worn off yet? That shouldn't be the case.

As Chu Yizhi was thinking, he noticed that Wen Mulin had turned his head around at some point. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"what?"

Chu Yizhi was taken aback by his question and subconsciously replied, "It's fine. It was just a little cold at first, but it got much better later."

"Are you really alright? Why do you look so strange?"

"I am fine."

Wen Mulin's gaze fell on his face, and there seemed to be a deep and unfathomable emotion flowing in his eyes. "Chu Shangyin, did you come to me just to get the antidote?"

This left Chu Yizhi silent for a while. He moved his lips and said, "Alright, you guessed right. I did have another purpose in contacting you."

"What's your purpose?" Wen Mulin's cold gaze swept over him, making Chu Yizhi feel strange.

Chu Yizhi decided not to hide it from him anymore, "I suspect that the 'Chu Shangyin' outside was created by the Yuelu Sect."

You Muxue grew up in the Yuelu Sect and looks exactly like Wen Mulin.

What if there were also a "Chu Shangyin"?

"You mean... there's a huge secret hidden in the Yuelu Sect."

Chu Yizhi nodded. "Wen Mulin, do you remember what your family did before they were wiped out?"

Wen Mulin froze, clutching his forehead, "I...I..."

"I……"

"I can't remember any of it."

He was still young then, and all he knew was that he was born into a life of luxury, and that his father always went out mysteriously.

Our home is often visited by guests, each of whom brings generous gifts.

He had overheard it once and remembered that the person who came to ask his father for help was an official of the imperial court.

His family told him that his father was doing some big business outside.

What kind of business must it be to warrant an official from the imperial court personally coming to your door for help?

"Wen Mulin, do you still remember the jade pendant you gave me?"

As he spoke, Chu Yizhi took out the jade pendant he had obtained from Wen Mulin a few days ago.

Wen Mulin's heart skipped a beat. "You...you remembered?"

"Yes," Chu Yizhi smiled faintly, "I remember now, you are the young master who took me in back then. You gave me the jade pendant."

"That jade pendant—"

"I'm sorry, the jade pendant you gave me was stolen a few years ago."

Chu Yizhi said, "And this piece is indeed not my jade pendant."

He pointed to one of the intact parts, "The piece you gave me has a tiny chip here, so subtle it's hard to notice. If I hadn't regained my memory, I would never have guessed it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Wen Mulin's eyes were already red.

Wen Mulin gripped his shoulders tightly. "So... it really wasn't you who wiped out my entire Wen family, right?"

Although he was already certain, he still wanted to wait for Chu Yizhi to admit it in person.

After all... he was the person he loved with all his heart.

"Of course it wasn't me." Chu Yizhi stared into his eyes. "The Wen family was wiped out a few years after I left, right? How old was I then? I wasn't even the sect leader of Yuehuan Sect yet. How much ability did I have to dare to confront the renowned Mofeng Pavilion Master in the martial arts world?"

Wen Mulin's expression froze.

Chu Yizhi continued, "This jade pendant is indeed not mine, but it is real. It is one half of the pendant. When combined with the half that I lost, it becomes the Mo Feng Ling, which can command the most mysterious organization in the martial arts world, Mo Feng Ge."

"Your father is Wen Rumo, the previous head of Mofeng Pavilion."
