In this Mortal District, there aren’t many women qualified to be my plaything. You’re one of them, and the very first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the man gestured, and the longsword pinning Mu He flew back into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mu Xue hurried forward to check on Mu He’s injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for you...\" The man turned to Mu Xue. \"You look pretty good, too, but without comparison, there’s no distinction. You’re not worthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m not worthy?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unknown flame of anger ignited in Mu Xue’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had she ever been belittled like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But anger was one thing; she wasn’t about to lose her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mu He, with his Vajra Realm Cultivation, had been defeated in a single blow. What could she possibly do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she had heard two words from the man’s mouth that were both shocking and unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortal District!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication was that this group of people was not from the Mountain and Sea Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the adopted daughter of Mu Kongfu, the headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Mu Xue knew many secrets—for example, the Hall of Envoys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, the anger in Mu Xue’s heart instantly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t relief, but resignation and powerlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hall of Envoys, rumored to be the spokespeople for the Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it more simply and directly, they were the ultimate superiors of the Mountain and Sea Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these five people before her were truly from the Hall of Envoys, then they were indeed qualified to say she was unworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you from the Hall of Envoys?\" Mu Xue asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? You can actually tell our origin? It seems your status in this Mortal District isn’t so simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the man’s admission, Mu Xue’s heart sank. She discreetly cut her fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood and letting it fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Jun. We have important matters to attend to. We don’t have much time to waste here.\" At that moment, the young man in the Golden Brocade Robe spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the man quickly wiped the smile from his face. \"Yes, Big Brother. But she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man pointed at Niu Kexin, his expression one of reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man knew his younger brother’s temperament well—he was never happy without a woman. He frowned. \"Just bring her along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was overjoyed. \"Thank you for indulging me, Big Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, they never asked for Niu Kexin’s opinion, not even a single word, nor did they care if she agreed. Their casual indifference was like that of a human regarding livestock or poultry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you’ve misunderstood something. I’m not going with you,\" Niu Kexin said as she continuously backed away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sneered. \"Whether you go or not isn’t up to you. Besides, do you have any idea who I am? Do you know how noble our status is? You ignorant mortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Kexin: \"I have no interest in who you are, and your status has even less to do with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she added, \"By the way, I have a husband. Since your status is so noble, surely you wouldn’t be interested in a married woman like me, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was stunned. A married woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This actually struck a chord with him. Although he had a fondness for women, it was just as he’d said: not every woman was qualified for his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind the high standards he had for talent and looks; at the very least, she had to be a virgin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wasn’t even a virgin, then there was no need to proceed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How unlucky!\" the man cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a cloaked figure approached and whispered a few words in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? One hundred percent compatibility? Are you sure?\" the man exclaimed, his expression growing excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This subordinate is certain! The True Essence fluctuations this woman is exhibiting are a one hundred percent match with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, not only was the man so shocked his jaw dropped, but even the young man in the brocade robe beside him showed a stunned expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent, excellent, excellent! To think I’d run into such great fortune right after arriving in the Mortal District! The heavens have not been unkind to me, Huangfu Jun!\" the man roared with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he looked at Niu Kexin now was as if he were gazing upon a heaven-shaking treasure, his eyes filled with joy, excitement, and greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to one hundred percent compatibility, whether she was a virgin or not had become completely irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Jun,\" the young man said, patting Huangfu Jun’s shoulder in gratification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Jun laughed. \"It must be the good luck you brought me, Big Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What do you mean by that?\" the young man asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you come this time to find your one hundred percent compatible Furnace Cauldron? They say good things come in pairs. I must have benefited from your good fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man let out a light laugh and said, \"I’m not like you. That Furnace Cauldron of mine is no ordinary woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it just that little devil Liu Ruyan? The Liu Family has already accepted the betrothal gifts. Are you still afraid she won’t submit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man shook his head. \"Don’t forget about that old codger. As long as that old man is still around, I can’t use force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then just get rid of him!\" A cold glint flashed in Huangfu Jun’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jun!\" The young man’s face darkened. \"Don’t you ever mention that again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Jun froze, a little baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hasn’t getting rid of the old codger always been your wish?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faced with the young man’s sharp gaze, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation between them made both Niu Kexin’s and Mu Xue’s faces change, especially Niu Kexin’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people actually knew Ruyan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were planning to treat her and Ruyan as some kind of Furnace Cauldrons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How despicable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember this. My name is Huangfu Jun, and this is my big brother, Huangfu Yu.\" In a flash, Huangfu Jun appeared in front of Niu Kexin, blocking her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might not know what the surname ’Huangfu’ means, but that’s alright. You’ll understand soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, come with me. Be my woman, and I will bestow upon you an Immortal’s fate, granting you supreme glory and status!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Kexin looked at Huangfu Jun with utter disgust. If not for her lack of strength, she really would have slapped him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, aside from Mo Qi, any man who had designs on her would only make her feel revulsion and disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a husband!\" Niu Kexin stressed again. \"And I don’t have the slightest interest in the Immortal’s fate, glory, or status you speak of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband?\" Huangfu Jun was dismissive. \"Just a mortal ant. Killing him is a simple matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\" Niu Kexin laughed. \"Kill him? You think you can?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I may not know what the Hall of Envoys is, and I don’t know what status you hold, but compared to him, you’re not even worth a single one of his hairs. No, you’re not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she spoke of Mo Qi, Niu Kexin’s expression immediately became radiant, her face filled with tenderness and love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense! Frog in a well!\" Huangfu Jun was enraged. If Niu Kexin wasn’t a one hundred percent match for him, he would have sent her to Hell for that sentence alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Kexin couldn’t be bothered to say any more. As for who was truly the frog in the well, she had her own judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You think your husband is so great, don’t you? Let’s go. Take me to him. I want you to see with your own eyes who’s strong and who’s weak, and who isn’t fit to be compared to whose hair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left his mouth when a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions on Huangfu Jun and the others changed. They turned to look and saw Mu Xue, with Mu He on her back, disappearing from her original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>",1395,"2026-06-03T06:19:41.265Z","2026-06-03T06:19:45.013Z",1,"novelbin.me","57c85bf403200a5c7d1cc21d8f1d5d21d6bb56c12aa50fd8daefb1228b2f0308","venerable-demon-chef-chapter-308","venerable-demon-chef-chapter-306",421,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvenerable-demon-chef-cover.jpg"]
