Chapter 2417: Crawling up on Knees

Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

The uses of the two different types of stripes were very obvious. They would significantly boost the wolf’s offense and defense.

Mo Fan was very satisfied with the outcome.

Even without the Wolf Queen’s ability to rapidly heal her wounds and regrow lost body parts, the two types of stripes would still allow the wolf to crush every creature below the Ruler Level!

However, he was sure his wolf would be getting some other new abilities too. Evolving to the Ruler Level involved remarkable changes. It was likely that the wolf was still unsure what other new abilities he had obtained, and needed some time to discover them.

“You can go back to the Summoned Beast Plane for now. Be ready, you will soon make an entry,” Mo Fan told the wolf.

“Awoo!” The wolf was thrilled.

He had never thought he would be a Ruler-level creature one day!

There were many powerful creatures in the Summoned Beast Plane. Even Commander-level creatures had to frequently tuck their tails between their legs. They would not dare to attract too much attention in foreign territories, as they might be eaten up by their owners if they were even slightly unreasonable.

However, after becoming a Ruler-level creature, even the apex predators would not dare to provoke and compete for territory with him easily!

He could finally live with dignity and truly claim his own territory. He no longer had to live in fear, nor did he have to run away with his people if their territory was taken away.

Mo Fan knew the old wolf was trying to claim his own territory to give his people homes. He did not forget to remind the wolf not to engage in any serious battles in the near future.

A tough fight was surely awaiting them at the Mu Clan. Mo Fan needed the old wolf to be in his top form!

The old wolf was aware of Mo Fan’s concerns. He just had to lay low for some time. He had already waited for so long.

However, he had a lot of enemies in the Summoned Beast Plane. Most of them were still in the Advancing Period of the Commander-level. They kept picking on him just because their lineage was superior. It would not be his fault if they happened to come looking for their deaths!

Mo Fan left the cultivation room.

He initially thought Mu Ningxue would be waiting for him. To his surprise, she had already left for Mu Clan Mountain.

The Mu Clan had long been based in the capital. Not only did it have a long and powerful history of reputable Ice Mages, it also had a Forbidden Ice Mage, too.

A Super Mage was enough to support a renowned clan, but a Forbidden Mage could guarantee several generations’ worth of prosperity for a clan!

According to the Constitution of Forbidden Magic established by the Magic Association, Forbidden Mages were not allowed to participate in ordinary affairs.

Therefore, Mu Ningxue’s enemy was not the Forbidden Ice Mage who came from the Mu Clan, but the overwhelming number of cruel and rotten members of the complicated clan who relied heavily on the fame and reputation of the Forbidden Ice Mage.

They were in charge of everything in the clan, including a person’s fate!

It was supposed to be a warm season, as the Tomb Sweeping Day had only passed recently, but the Mu Clan Mountain was totally different from the capital. It looked as if a huge snowstorm had taken place last night.

A few ancient buildings with only tips of their roofs revealed stood high on the mountain. Silver-white ice crystals hanging down gave them a sacred and austere appearance.

Mu Ningxue was taking the loose footbridges up the mountain. She had never taken a car along the winding roads to the Mu Clan before. She always took the stairs and the footbridges instead.

Every time she took this path, she could always enjoy the spectacular scenery consisting of snow-covered lands. She would feel relaxed, as the scenery took away the fatigue from cultivating for the entire day.

It was similar to people who enjoyed taking a hot bath after a busy day.

Mu Ningxue enjoyed taking the deserted stairs. She had been doing it throughout her youth after she had moved to the capital.

This place used to be Mu Ningxue’s second home.

She abandoned her youthful heart when she was thirteen and dove straight into cultivation. It did not matter how boring her life was and how exciting the outside world seemed, her heart remained as firm and determined as ice.

She thought she could earn her family’s respect and honor through her hard work. Little did she know, she was only a puppet controlled by the Mu Clan.

They had thrown her away like a piece of trash after she lost her value.

Almost ten years! For almost ten years, she was blindly following the Mu Clan’s will!

She had sacrificed her everything, including her soul, for the greater good of the clan.

In the end, she was still worthless in their eyes!

They had raised her up, but they had tried to destroy her, too. Did they really think they would get their way so easily?!

The path going up the mountain was empty.

No one bothered to use the stairs that had been built by their ancestors any longer, thanks to the great invention of modern cars.

In the past, Mu Ningxue always let her mind go blank as she took the stairs. Now, every step she took brought back memories, a past that kept adding to her anger!

“Hehe, I knew you were going to come this way!” a mocking voice called out.

An entrance covered in frozen vines stood at the top of the stairs ahead of her. A woman in a luxurious long dress was standing close to it. The bottom of the dress was close to touching the ground. Its white mink collar was wrapped around the woman’s neck.

“I wonder why you always pretend like you are independent and strong, but you still have to rely on a savage in the end?

“Such a pity, the man you are relying on is just an untamed wild dog compared to the Mu Clan. Our existence is like a dragon. We can easily strangle him to death!”

Mu Tingying was leaning against a pillar, staring down at Mu Ningxue as Ningxue was coming up the stairs.

Mu Ningxue had already tied up her silver hair, which matched the scenery perfectly.

She was wearing an umber-black leather outfit and a simple windbreaker with a girdle. The red scarf around her neck was the only color that stood out, but it was enough to set off her outstanding beauty.

Mu Tingying always felt a fit of strange anger whenever she saw Mu Ningxue. She could not figure out the reason for a long time, but she was starting to realize it now.

It did not matter how rare, expensive, and luxurious the jewelries, clothes, and makeup she had received from the people around her were; if she stood beside Mu Ningxue, even if she was only dressed in simple clothes with no makeup on, the men would still be fixing their eyes on Mu Ningxue!

Normally, physical appearance was not necessarily the most important thing, as there were plenty of women who were just as gorgeous as Mu Ningxue. However, Mu Tingying could not accept that Mu Ningxue’s cultivation was superior to hers, too!

She just wanted to be better than Mu Ningxue at one thing. The harsh reality was… there was not a single thing she was better at than Mu Ningxue!

Most importantly, the root of Mu Tingying’s jealousy was how Mu Ningxue had never treated her seriously!

As a result, whenever Mu Tingying saw Mu Ningxue’s calm eyes, she would start burning with anger. She simply had the urge to tear the other woman into pieces!

“Where’s my father?” Mu Ningxue’s voice was as cold as her eyes.

“You really want to know? Walk the rest of the stairs on your knees, then!” Mu Tingying sneered.

Walk on her knees? In other words, she was asking Mu Ningxue to kneel before her!

When a person was kneeling, it was impossible for them to lift their legs. They would have to place their hands on the next stair and lift their body up.

Mu Tingying would be gobsmacked if Mu Ningxue began crawling up the stairs in such a humble manner!
