MEIWITA Chapter 632: Don’t Expect to Trap a Wolf Without Sacrifice

Lou Mu Yan’s refusal made Mu’rong Qing and the others extremely anxious.

“Excuse me for asking, but I wonder what Young Miss Lou’s plans are next?” Mu’rong Qing added: “Of course, if it’s inconvenient, Young Miss Lou can just pretend this one didn’t ask.”

“There’s no inconveniences.”

Lou Mu Yan paused, then continued: “I plan to go to the Mercenary Union to complete missions and quickly increase my mercenary rank. Meanwhile I can also improve my strength while completing missions. As for cultivation resources, I don’t lack them, so I don’t want to delay a year’s time to go to the Mu’rong Clan.”

“…” Hearing her words, Mu’rong Qing and his group couldn’t resist twitching their lips.

So her not having time was completely because she wanted to rise in mercenary ranks. What kind of important task was this?

“Young Miss Lou, why are you rushing to increase the rank as a mercenary? Is it that the mercenary party you belong to requires you to rise in rank?” Mu’rong Yu asked.

If the mercenary party needed to rise in rank, then it required all mercenary party members to reach the application level.

Lou Mu Yan shrugged: “Nope, the mercenary party I joined before was just to complete a temporary mission. I don’t have a fixed mercenary party.”

“…” Mu’rong Qing and his party were completely speechless.

“If Young Miss Lou wants to take on missions to rise in rank, how about adding me?” Mu’rong Qing thought for a while and proposed a way for the best of both worlds.

He was also a little tired of the boring and dry cultivation in the clan, and it wasn’t something bad to follow by Lou Mu Yan’s side—not only to cure his illness, but also for expereince.

“Add me too.” Mu’rong Yu said hastily.

As if he wanted to remain in the clan and be managed. If third elder brother’s treatment was used as an excuse, then that bunch of ‘old antiques’ definitely wouldn’t object.

Lou Mu Yan thought about it, then said after a moment of silence: “It’s fine if you two want to complete mercenary missions with me, but you must listen to be along the way.”

Mu’rong Qing and Mu’rong Yu obviously had extraordinary identities. If these two were joining, it’d be a good thing for her who didn’t know the Human Realm at all.

Moreover, it was useless to rely on herself alone to form her own force. The reason why she wanted to complete missions along the way to Zhong’zhou was also to win over some important networks.

“No problem.” Both of them nodded at the same time.

As long as Lou Mu Yan was willing to help them, then it was nothing to listen to her for this year.

“Have you ever registered as a mercenary?” Lou Mu Yan asked after thinking about it.

Mu’rong Qing shook his head: “No.”

Their Mu’rong Clan was one of the Eight Distinguished Clans that was among the top forces in the Northern State, and it was usually impossible for them to register as mercenaries to complete missions.

“Then why don’t we go register a mercenary party.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up, and she said with all smiles: “I’m also a newly registered mercenary, only rank 1.”

“…” Mu’rong Qing and the others didn’t know what to say anymore.

They guessed inwardly that Lou Mu Yan might be a young miss from some big or influential family, and was just creating a mercenary party for fun.

But since she was so interested, they naturally couldn’t disappoint her, and the two Mu’rong brothers also became interested.

The oldest man at Core Elemental Realm among them said: “Young Lord, it may not be right for you to become mercenaries?”

The Young Lord of their Mu’rong Clan going to become a member of a rank 1 mercenary party—just thinking about it made him have no idea how to explain to the clan’s superiors.

“Uncle Hong, after you return, you’ll report to the clan that I’m here for medical treatment.” Mu’rong Qing’s tone allowed no questions.

And this wasn’t an excuse either, he was indeed going for treatment.

“Then let’s go together with Young Lord.” Another elderly man who was at Peak-Phase Sword Deity said.

Before Mu’rong Qing could speak, Lou Mu Yan spoke first, “You’re all too old. The mercenary party I want to form is one with members under thirty.”

She agreed for Mu’rong Qing and Mu’rong Yu to join the party not only for treating the illness, but also because of their strength. Mu’rong Qing should also possess the ability to lead, but why’d she want a bunch of dirty old men.

“…” The elderly man choked—this woman actually disliked them for being old.

“That’s right! How eye-catching is it for us handsome men and beautiful women to complete missions together, wouldn’t you old men spoil the scenery if you follow?” Mu’rong Yu nodded in agreement.

The elders of the Mu’rong Clan didn’t know how to express their feelings anymore. Lou Mu Yan disliked them, they accepted, but what’s their own young master joining in for…

“Uncle Hong, we’re cultivating too slow in the family. After we leave, we may even be able to find an opportunity to breakthrough to Earth Elemental Realm. You should just report the truth to the clan.” Mu’rong Qing said.

If it weren’t because he didn’t dare let the pure ice element flow in his body too fast, his cultivation base should’ve already reached Peak-Phase Core Elemental Realm.

“Aye! Alright.” Mu’rong Hong nodded helplessly.

The Young Lord’s illness couldn’t be delayed any longer. Although this woman named Lou Mu Yan was very young, but they couldn’t give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.

Lou Mu Yan was quite satisfied with the decisiveness of the Mu’rong brothers. If they drag their families along to complete mercenary missions with her, then she’d definitely refuse them joining.

Seeing that Mo Yan still had about an hour left before he finished refining, she said to Mu’rong Qing in her boredom: “I’ll first soothe your meridians, then when you enter the fire waterfall and is exposed to the high temperatures, your ice elemental energy wouldn’t be stimulated again.”

“Then I will trouble Young Miss Lou.” Mu’rong Qing said gratefully.

Lou Mu Yan waved her hand dismissively: “Since we’re all members of the same party from now on, don’t call me ‘Young Miss Lou’, just call me Mu Yan.”

“Sure!”

Afterwards, Lou Mu Yan took out golden needles to treat Mu’rong Qing, as well as a grade 7 Meridians Nourishing Pill for him to take.

Green spiritual energy gradually smoothed out Mu’rong Qing’s horribly damaged meridians and suppressed the ice elemental energy in his body with the softest mutant flame.

An hour later, she pulled out the golden needles and asked Mu’rong Qing: “How do you feel?”

Mu’rong Qing opened his eyes, filled with pleasant surprise, “I feel that the previously swollen and painful meridians have eased a lot. The ice elemental energy in my body automatically flows slowly, and the oppressive feeling has disappeared.”

When Mu’rong Yu heard this, he said excitedly: “Is it possible to cure my third elder brother’s illness with regular acupuncture?”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “How’s it that easy. I just suppressed the ice elemental energy in his body and dredged the meridians. To recover, not only do you need frequent acupuncture and medicinal baths, but you also need to cultivate physical tempering methods.”

“I feel much more comfortable now.” Mu’rong Qing paused and asked: “Mu Yan, what you gave me just now was a grade 7 pill right?”

Lou Mu Yan replied: “Mm, the grade 7 Meridians Nourishing Pill can nurture and repair your meridians, and it can also purity your elemental energy.”

Mu’rong Qing’s group was startled when they heard her words—the efficacy of this pill was so powerful.

“Your pill’s so precious, should I exchange spiritual stones with you or barter?” Mu’rong Qing asked seriously. Such pills were very precious.

Lou Mu Yan smiled indifferently: “No need, the pill this time can be considered as a meeting gift from me to you. Let’s talk about payment for your treatment in the future after leaving this place.”

‘One couldn’t expect to entrap a wolf if they weren’t willing to sacrifice the life of their child1’—besides, Mu’rong Qing was about to become a member of her mercenary party. She was always generous to her own people.

1yes, literal translation of a well-known saying meaning one can’t expect to accomplish a major task if they aren’t willing to take risks.
