Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine

Chapter 852 –Competition Ends And Departure Part 5

A man was sitting on a black dragon throne in a dark room. He gradually removed the dark golden mask from his face under the moonlight.

What kind of face would he have?

His face was able to make the world lose its luster. He was so handsome that it would make anyone speechless from being stunned by his appearance…

However, his complexion was abnormally pale. There was a faint scar on the left side of his face. But that scar didn’t ruin the beauty of his face. It gave his face a mysterious vibe instead.

“Who!”

Bei Jun hastily put on his mask when he suddenly heard footsteps nearing the room before he asked coldly.

A feeble voice was heard outside the room. “Stepfather, it’s me.”

Bei Jun frowned slightly. A domineering, unruly grandeur was being expressed from his dark golden eyes. His voice was so cold that it would scare people witless.

“Come in!”

The door was gradually pushed open. A girl in pink garment entered from outside the room. If Mu Ru Yue saw this woman, she would definitely be shocked. It was due to the girl being Xiao Jing of the Xiao family that had personally killed her own biological father due to her. Following that, she even had the identity as the younger apprentice sister to Feng Jing Tian.

When Xiao Jing’s gaze landed on his pair of dark golden eyes after she entered the room, her heart skipped a beat. She bit her lips with her gaze slightly lowered.

‘I don’t know why but I’m always fearful of stepfather…’

‘But I can’t help but want to get close to him.’

“Stepfather, I’ve heard you’ve returned so Jing Er has come to greet you.”

“Mhm.” Bei Jun said in a slightly cold voice, “You arrived just in time. I need you to do something for me.”

Xiao Jing was elated as she replied, “Stepfather, please instruct me.”

“I want you to…” A glimmer flicked past Bei Jun’s eyes as he continued coldly, “marry Feng Jing Tian!”

Xiao Jing’s heart shuddered at that instant as she looked flabbergasted at the man’s dark golden masked face.

“Stepfather, what did you say?”

‘He wants me to marry elder apprentice brother? But the person I obviously like is…’

“I took in Feng Jing Tian for this purpose.” Bei Jun shifted his gaze to Xiao Jing and with a voice increasingly cold, he continued, “You are to marry him. You are to then give birth to his child before giving that child to me!”

‘Following that, it will be useless in keeping Feng Jing Tian alive…’

“But stepfather, elder apprentice brother has a girl he loves. I…”

Xiao Jing’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

‘I admit that I have a good impression on my elder brother apprentice. That love-struck fool can use everything in his power to improve his might in order to protect that girl. There won’t be anyone that won’t have feelings for him…

‘But it is just a good impression.

‘The person that I truly love is…’

“This is an order!”

Bei Jun’s gaze darkened. With gold flames dancing in his eyes, he threatened, “If you don’t marry him, I will make him vanish now!”

Xiao Jing shook her head while smiling bitterly. “I believe that if elder brother apprentice is forced to choose between marrying me or being killed, he will choose death without any hesitation. There is only a girl Mu Ru Yue in his heart! Even if it is to go against stepfather’s order or even be killed by stepfather, he won’t give in to this matter!”

Swish!

Bei Jun’s domineering aura intensified after Xiao Jing said that. He raised his gaze to look down at Xiao Jing.

“He is incompatible with her!”

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment.

‘Did stepfather mean Mu Ru Yue isn’t worthy in gaining Feng Jing Tian’s affection? It is really the case. Even if that girl has an outstanding innate talent, Feng Jing Tian is a bonafide disciple of Stepfather. With stepfather’s overwhelming influence, those sects such as the Alchemy Sect are greatly inferior to stepfather’s. Thus, Mu Ru Yue is indeed incompatible with elder apprentice brother.’
