Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 343 Slapping the Face of the Incompetent Prince 2

The Chu family is a long-standing and renowned military family.

Generation after generation dedicated themselves to military service, experiencing countless battles and achieving remarkable feats, thus producing many generals who were renowned throughout the world.

Chu Mu, as the eldest son of the Chu family, has shown extraordinary talent and keen insight into military strategy since childhood, making him the pride of the Chu family.

Unfortunately, the current head of the Chu family was so powerful that he was forced to retire and enjoy his later years, and the family declined.

Presumably, Chu Mu was not willing to be the husband of the chosen one of Heaven.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yuexing nodded slightly. "Where are you planning to go?"

“Yuexing forgot? Father told us to eat with you three meals a day to strengthen our bond,” Wen Yunsheng said gently.

He then looked at Chu Mu and said, "Perfect timing, let's go together."

Chu Mu was surprised when he heard Wen Yunsheng address Leng Yuexing. Wen Yunsheng never called the female master by her name, so why was he calling her so affectionately now?

Chu Mu turned to look at Leng Yuexing, wanting to suggest leaving first, but suddenly froze in place.

He felt that the female master was different today; both her temperament and appearance were better than usual.

His gaze was drawn to her as if by a magnet, and he could not take it off her no matter what.

Chu Mu's gaze was so focused that Wen Yunsheng, who noticed it, felt a slight displeasure.

He stepped forward, blocking Chu Mu's view, and gently asked Leng Yuexing, "The front hall is not far away, let's go there now."

Leng Yuexing chuckled, "Alright, I'm a little hungry too."

Now that she knew Wen Yunsheng was her lover, Leng Yuexing prepared to divorce her other three husbands and did not want to get too close to them, lest she cause them unnecessary trouble.

Wen Yunsheng gently took Leng Yuexing's hand and was about to walk towards the front hall when Chu Mu blocked his way.

"My lady, I have something to tell you." His voice was deep and strong, with a rich, magnetic masculinity, yet it also had an innate nonchalance.

The next moment, Leng Yuexing's clear, cold voice slowly rang out: "What do you want? Speak freely."

His voice seemed to come from a distant, cold night, carrying a hint of chill and an indescribable sense of alienation.

The tone of his voice was quite different from when he spoke to Wen Yunsheng earlier.

Chu Mu suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart. He paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "I need to talk to you alone."

Wen Yunsheng tightened his grip on the folding fan; he didn't want Leng Yuexing to be alone with Chu Mu.

He smiled gently and looked at Chu Mu, "Yue Xing is hungry. We can talk about it another time."

Chu Mu's expression turned cold. "I naturally won't take up too much of the female master's time."

Wen Yunsheng wanted to say something more, but Leng Yuexing squeezed his hand and said, "Go to the front hall and wait for me. I'll be there right away."

Wen Yunsheng looked at Leng Yuexing tenderly, "Okay."

The next moment, he gently lifted Leng Yuexing's chin with his folding fan. "Don't keep me waiting too long."

He then released Leng Yuexing's hand and turned to walk towards the front hall; he couldn't bring himself to hide nearby and eavesdrop.

Besides, Chu Mu is highly skilled in martial arts. If he were to hide nearby, he would definitely be discovered, so there's no point in him going to bother.

After Wen Yunsheng left, Leng Yuexing walked to the edge of the pool and leaned lazily against the wooden railing. "Now you can speak."

Nowadays, flowing sleeves and gauze dresses are popular in the Great Yue Kingdom. The dresses are loose-fitting, and when Leng Yuexing leans back, her creamy white skin below her neck is fully revealed.

Chu Mu glanced at it, then lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I have found the health-strengthening exercise that the female master asked me to find. All I need to do is sit in the room and exhale."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a book, and handed it to Leng Yuexing.

Leng Yuexing reached out and took the book, flipped through it from beginning to end, and then handed it back to Chu Mu. "Thank you. I've memorized the contents. Here, take this book back."

Chu Mu looked at Leng Yuexing in surprise upon hearing this. He had only seen Leng Yuexing casually flip through the book. Could it be that she had memorized it after just one glance?

Seeing the disbelief in Chu Mu's eyes, Leng Yuexing began to recount the contents of the book.

Chu Mu flipped through the book and compared it with the text, finding that it was indeed word for word.

He put the book back in his pocket and said admiringly, "I didn't expect the female master to have such a photographic memory. In that case, she will surely win the imperial examination this time."

"You have good taste," Leng Yuexing replied in a good mood.

Then he looked at Chu Mu thoughtfully, "Chu Mu, if I remember correctly, you will also be taking the martial arts exam this year. If you can also win the top prize, would you still be willing to be my husband?"

Leng Yuexing originally intended to bring up the matter of divorce after Chu Mu answered that he was unwilling.

Unexpectedly, Chu Mu was first taken aback, then his brows furrowed deeply, his resolute and handsome face full of displeasure.

"Is the female master dissatisfied with me?" His voice was tinged with anger, and he looked at Leng Yuexing with a dark gaze.

Leng Yuexing looked back at her frankly, "I have no complaints, it's just that we don't have any emotional foundation. If you win the championship, you can freely choose the female master you like, wouldn't that be better?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Leng Yuexing's hands.

His deep, hoarse voice rang out, "If the female master had said this before, I would have gladly agreed. However, I have changed my mind now, and I will never easily divorce you!"

Leng Yuexing frowned, trying to pull her hand out of Chu Mu's grasp, but found that she couldn't break free at all.

How can it be?

Leng Yuexing was puzzled; apart from his lover, no one could control him!

Who exactly is Chu Mu?

Leng Yuexing stared at Chu Mu with a probing look, pondering his identity.

Chu Mu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Leng Yuexing frowning, as if she disliked his approach.

Then he laughed cruelly, "Does the female master hate my approach that much? Since you hate me so much, then I'll make you hate me to the very end!"

After Chu Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Leng Yuexing fiercely.

Leng Yuexing struggled fiercely, but her eyes widened the moment Chu Mu pressed against her.

How is this going?

Why does his soul react so strongly when he has close contact with Chu Mu?

The intense tremors made his legs weak, and he let Chu Mu kiss him blankly.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He frantically called out to the sapling in his mind, "What on earth is going on? Find out for me right now!"

The sapling examined Chu Mu's aura closely in disbelief, then exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Mu's aura is exactly the same as Wen Yunsheng's; they are the same soul!"

"What did you say?" Leng Yuexing replied in surprise.

"How can a soul be divided into two parts? Are you mistaken?"

The sapling shook its branch. "It can't be wrong. They do share the same soul, but it seems like neither of them is quite complete."
