Chapter 868

Cultivation Change

Mu Yu did not know how long his originally bright and warm character would last as it was his family’s affection that melt the ice freezing his heart, motivating him to cherish he five days he had with them instead of focusing on things he could focus on when they were not around.

Mu Yu picked up Xiaoshuai from the kitchen and went to bid farewell to his family, who were hoping he would stay for longer. Archfiend Baiyuan, who happened to be there, teased, “You not going to bid your father-in-law goodbye? What should you address me as?”

I wonder if Dad’s luck with Leng Bingxue has rubbed off onto me, wondered Mu Yu. “Mr. Bai, thank you in advance.”

Archfiend Baiyuan stopped Mu Yu from running with his qi. “Why are you behaving so distant? Mr. Bai? Your grandfather and I have agreed on your relationship. Isn’t it time you changed the way you addressed me?”

“It is but a title. There is no need to be so hung up on it when it is but a title, right, Mr. Bai?”

“Mu Yu, this is an important title. You need to address him properly,” Mu Tianhe opined.

“Mr. Bai, for every second you delay me, someone will have to stay on an altar for another second. It is inappropriate to jest at the moment,” Mu Yu fumed through his teeth.

“I don’t mind. After how long he’s been there, it won’t hurt to wait for as long as it takes for you to say those three words.”

Transmitting his voice directly into Archfiend Baiyuan’s mind, Mu Yu grouched, “Let go of me. Are you deliberately making things hard?”

“Call me Father-in-Law, and I’ll let you go.”

“What can you do about it if I refuse, stay here forever? Are you planning to sabotage it for Qiao Xue?”

“... You win this time, but I’ll make you say it one day! You can forget consummating the marriage if you don’t complete the ceremony properly!”

“We’ve already dual cultivated, so having a rest for a night won’t hurt.” Mu Yu flashed his white pearls and leapt up.

Upon arriving at his destination, Mu Yu injected his spiritual energy into Lie Shang’s flame. Strangely, it did not trigger any reaction. He tried doing a lap along the perimeter, but the flame did not pick up Lie Shang’s signal.

“What do we do now? What are we going to do without him?” asked Xiaoshuai, eating a pair.

Mu Yu did not feel any pain thanks to the thin and light nature of Xiaoshuai’s claws, not that it made him feel any safer than having a sword plunged in.

“Circulate your spiritual energy so that I can see how the soul energy looks.”

“Be careful. I don’t want to lose an arm.”

“I’ll reattach it if it falls off. Come on now.”

As Mu Yu started circulating spiritual energy again, he saw Xiaoshuai studying his meridians.

“This is bizarre,” commented Xiaoshuai, startling Mu Yu.

“How come you left my body when I left mine?”

“Because you used Dustfallen Mental Cultivation. I naturally am erudite on it. I think I fused with you. Anyway, that soul energy is weird.”

“Tell me something I don’t know.”

“I reckon Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian isn’t working due to the soul energy.”
