Chapter 1083: Chapter 168: Adding Another Old Divine Emperor (5th Update)

"I’ve heard you like wine?" the Huan Yue God Emperor suddenly asked.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered, she smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes." She felt a bit strange inside, wondering why the Huan Yue God Emperor wasn’t asking her about the Mu Clan’s Young Master, nor about the Mu Clan’s Young Master’s Qiankun Device... and not even about the Divine Strategy Lower Volume.

Does he want to ask step by step, or is he deliberately not mentioning it?

Mu Qingge couldn’t make a judgment at the moment, so she decided to stay still for now and continue the conversation as the Huan Yue God Emperor led it.

The Huan Yue God Emperor lazily raised a finger, pointing Mu Qingge in a direction. By the time she looked, his hand had already dropped, resting casually on the armrest beside him.

Mu Qingge looked in the direction he pointed and found several wine jars placed there.

Then, the Huan Yue God Emperor’s voice rang out again, "These wines have been in the Divine Emperor Palace for who knows how many years. Feel free to take them if you like."

Mu Qingge was taken aback.

She was a bit stunned, thinking to herself, ’Was I summoned just to be given wine?’ Although puzzled, she still nodded with a smile, calmly saying, "Thank you, Divine Emperor."

The Huan Yue God Emperor slowly shook his head, his expression serene yet lazy, "No need for such formality, you are the Little Divine Emperor of my Huan Yue Domain, you should carry yourself with dignity. Consider these wines your reward. You did well with the Yan Lie incident and didn’t embarrass my Huan Yue Domain."

Oh my gosh!

Mu Qingge blinked her eyes; it was the first time she heard the Huan Yue God Emperor speak so much.

"Uh, thank you, Divine Emperor," Mu Qingge replied, somewhat dazed.

The Huan Yue God Emperor turned his gaze to her, his phoenix eyes shimmering beautifully like glass, yet it was impossible to discern the emotions within.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips together in silence, waiting for the Huan Yue God Emperor to take the initiative to ask her.

After a moment, the Huan Yue God Emperor finally asked, "Did anyone make things difficult for you when you went to the Purple Light Domain?"

Mu Qingge didn’t expect, after waiting so long, that this would be the question the Huan Yue God Emperor would ask. Who could make things difficult for her in the Purple Light Domain? Probably no one other than the Purple Light God Emperor.

So, what does the Huan Yue God Emperor mean with this question?

The Huan Yue God Emperor’s words circled in Mu Qingge’s mind. Her eyes flickered, and she smiled as she replied, "Not too bad, although there were occasional setbacks, I returned safely to the Huan Yue Domain."

"Hmm, I heard that you brought back two people from the Purple Light Domain?" the Huan Yue God Emperor inquired again.

Mu Qingge nodded, "Yes, they are both friends I made in the Lower Realm." The matter of Yao Xinghai and Xi Qianxue couldn’t be hidden from the Huan Yue God Emperor.

"Do you know that throughout the Four Seas Divine Land, everyone knows that this woman is your wife?" The Huan Yue God Emperor’s voice grew a little deeper.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at the Huan Yue God Emperor. Calmly, she asked, "Is this news from the Purple Light Domain?"

The Huan Yue God Emperor neither denied nor confirmed, simply saying, "It’s okay for you to manipulate others, but not for others to manipulate you?"

Mu Qingge chuckled, helplessly saying, "I have no choice. The Purple Light God Emperor kept asking me for things, but I didn’t know what he wanted. I just felt that since I went through so much to kill someone and take the spoils, why should I give it to him? In the end, to rescue someone from him, I gave what I had to. If others come asking for more, I can only tell the truth."

She spoke with extreme naturalness, her eyes sincere.

The Huan Yue God Emperor stared at her for a long time before saying, "What you said is the truth?"

"Of course it is the truth," Mu Qingge replied candidly.

But the Huan Yue God Emperor narrowed his eyes, his aura abruptly intensified, "I am asking if you handed everything from the Mu Clan’s Young Master over to the Purple Light God Emperor?"

Mu Qingge felt the oppressive atmosphere around her, frowning slightly. She bore the pressure and responded in a deep voice, "Yes."

"Did you hold back anything?" the Huan Yue God Emperor asked again.

"No," Mu Qingge replied again in a deep voice.

"Before you went to the Nine Heavens, you went to the Wuhua Domain, and the Mu Clan’s Young Master went there too. It’s said that the Wuhua God Emperor lost something. However, after news from the Purple Light Domain, the Wuhua God Emperor personally went to check, but he didn’t find what was lost," the Huan Yue God Emperor’s voice carried a hint of danger.

The Wuhua God Emperor actually went to the Purple Light Domain in person?!

Mu Qingge’s heart skipped a beat, ’It seems that the Fragmented Scripture of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume is crucial to the Wuhua God Emperor.’ And now, what does the Huan Yue God Emperor’s inquiry mean?

Is it just a routine question, or a test for her? Or has he already suspected her?

Mu Qingge’s heart grew cautious. Yet she maintained a calm exterior, "I don’t know about that. I don’t know what the Wuhua God Emperor lost. Back then, he also suspected me. However, it was later proved that it was the Mu Clan’s Young Master causing trouble. After leaving the Wuhua Domain, I went to the West Divine Land. I heard the Nine Heavens were worth a look, so I went, and later, the well-known matter of the Four Seas Divine Land happened. I did get the Qiankun Device from the Mu Clan’s Young Master, but I hadn’t even had time to look at it before giving it to the Purple Light God Emperor. I don’t know what was inside."

Her tone was calm, her expression normal, and even carried a hint of grievance and helplessness.

The Huan Yue God Emperor gazed at her for a long time, whether scrutinizing her or pondering her words, Mu Qingge couldn’t tell.

"Hahaha—! How come you two are drinking and didn’t invite me? Have you forgotten about this old man?" The stalemate was suddenly broken by the voice of the Old God Emperor.

Mu Qingge and the Huan Yue God Emperor both lifted their eyes to look at him, but the Old God Emperor simply ignored them, shaking his sleeves with his hands behind his back, walking towards them.

His ruddy face and smiling demeanor made people feel very at ease.

"Kid, you won’t even give an old man a seat?" The Old God Emperor reached Mu Qingge’s side and nudged the edge of her cushion with his foot.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, and with a thought of respecting the elderly, she stood up to give him the seat.

But the Huan Yue God Emperor suddenly said, "I need to rest now, you two should leave. Don’t disturb me unless it’s important."

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself, ’Did I pass this test?’

The Old God Emperor grumbled, "What? I just got here and you’re kicking me out?"

The Huan Yue God Emperor glanced at him indifferently and pointed to the wine jars, saying to Mu Qingge, "Don’t forget to take them when you leave."

With that, his figure dissipated like a mirage, vanishing before Mu Qingge and the Old God Emperor.

"Hmph, leaving so quickly," the Old God Emperor snorted discontentedly.

Mu Qingge calmly collected the wine rewarded by the Huan Yue God Emperor, and turned to the Old God Emperor saying, "Old God Emperor, I just happen to have some questions to ask you. Do you have time to join me for a few drinks?"
