Chapter 458 lacks understanding of etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame.
Starting Chapter 458 of "Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return": Mu Hanyan didnât have time to think much, nor could he stop his momentum; he... See what happens next!
Mu Hanyan didnât have time to think much, nor could he stop his momentum; he just instinctively let go of the sword hilt and his clenched fist still smashed out with force.
"Ah..." In the midst of a muffled groan, a ghost-like shadow was sent flying heavily, colliding with the rocks a dozen meters away with a thud.
"Ye Yanran!" Mu Hanyan heard that muffled groan and instantly realized that it wasnât some powerful Exotic Beast lurking in the dark, but that unlucky female thief.
He quickly stepped forward and saw that there was a crack about a foot wide in the rock, where the poor female thief lay curled up, perfectly wedged in the crack, her neck veins bulging, gasping for air.
"Why is it you again? How did you sneak in here?" Mu Hanyan had worried and feared for so long in vain; seeing the female thiefâs pathetic state, he couldnât help but laugh and cry as he pulled her out.
"You... how did you discover...me, and donât you... donât you need to sleep?" Ye Yanran lay on the ground, staring at Mu Hanyan with a lifeless gaze, looking pitifully.
Her left eye, which Mu Hanyan had punched the night before, was still bruised after a day. And now her right eye had been hit again, making her eyes symmetrical like those of a panda.
"Youâre not afraid of thieves stealing, youâre afraid of them coveting. Now that youâve got your eye on me, dare I sleep?" Mu Hanyanâs heart finally relaxed completely and he said, stifling a laugh.
"Brother Mu, what happened?" Just then, Wu Qiuyun rushed out of the tent with his Longsword drawn. The disturbance was not loud, but he was too embarrassed to let Mu Hanyan keep watch alone and had remained alert, not allowing himself to fall into a deep sleep, and had heard the noise outside.
Following closely, Mu Cheng also dashed out of the tent, his clothes neatly arranged, indicating that he had not been sleeping soundly either. Despite his casual demeanor, he had also been keeping watch all along.
Mu Hanyan had been worried that they would become too dependent on him and had become lazy after a trial, but seeing their condition, he set his mind at ease.
"Itâs nothing, just ran into an old friend. You guys go back to sleep," Mu Hanyan gestured with his hand and said.
"Isnât... isnât that the female thief?" After a careful look at Ye Yanranâs panda eyes, both of them recognized who it was and said in surprise.
"Hmm, itâs her," Mu Hanyan smiled and then told Ye Yanran, "Alright, you can go now. Donât come back again. If I accidentally beat you up like this again, it would be embarrassing for me."
"Hmph, donât think Iâll be grateful to you. Iâve noted this incident too, and I will come back," Ye Yanran got up, glared at Mu Hanyan, and staggered away.
"By the way, thereâs something I should warn you about. Exotic Beast Valley is not like before; itâs probably more dangerous than you can imagine. Thereâs still time to leave if you go now," Ye Yanran took a few steps then turned back and said.
"Thanks," Mu Hanyan said.
"I didnât do it for your thanks. We havenât settled our score yet. I just donât want you to die here, thatâs all. Humph... Ouch!" Ye Yanran snorted with pride, trying to walk away with her head held high but forgot that she had hurt her leg from the collision earlier. She only made it half a step before tumbling down.
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Ye Yanran got up, spitting out a mouthful of mud, her face turning red with both shame and anger.
"Look, I know youâre hungry, but you canât just eat anything. The wild beasts and Exotic Beasts here donât care about manners or decency; they defecate wherever they please. Try and remember if youâve eaten any pig or bear droppings just now," Mu Hanyan kindly suggested.
"Wah!" Ye Yanran spat out in disgust.
"Hahaha, here, take this, donât starve yourself," Mu Hanyan said, throwing some snacks to Ye Yanran.
