On the second day after Ye Chen woke up in the Ancient Desolate Realm.
That night, in the young mistress' room of the King Mu Fort.
Mu Caiwei was dressed in a plain palace dress that accentuated her exquisite figure. At that moment, she was sizing up Ye Chen with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes.
Ye Chen looked at her with a strange expression. He thought he had heard wrongly, "You want me to be the son-in-law of the King Mu Fort?"
Although Mu Caiwei had saved him, it was purely because of Jiu 'er's pleading for him. Even if she agreed to bring him back to the King Mu Fort, she would still be wary.
Therefore, Ye Chen put his identity straight. He wanted to understand this world and find a way to return to Earth.
To his surprise, Mu Caiwei suddenly called him over and took the initiative to care about his past. In the end, she even said that the King Mu Fort wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.
"That's right!"
Mu Caiwei bit her red lips and said slowly, "Young Master Shi, you might not know this, but our King Mu Fort is currently in a precarious situation. We're surrounded by powerful enemies, and many people are using my marriage to make a fuss. Their goal is to annex our King Mu Fort …"
Ye Chen interrupted her, "Ms. Mu, with all due respect, what does what you said have to do with me?"
Apart from his parents and Su Yuhan, when had Ye Chen ever cared about anyone else's life? Moreover, it was Mu Caiwei, a stranger.
Even though Mu Caiwei was the best choice in terms of temperament and appearance, she was no different from a beautiful skeleton to Ye Chen.
Surprise flashed through Mu Caiwei's beautiful eyes when she heard that Ye Chen rejected her.
One had to know that as the daughter of the King Mu Fort's fort master, she had a noble status. Not only was she powerful in martial arts, but she was also known as the No. 1 beauty in Tianfeng City and even the Tianfeng sea area. Countless people dreamed of being her guest.
However, Ye Chen rejected her.
Apart from feeling surprised, Mu Caiwei felt a sense of defeat, "Young Master Shi, don't misunderstand. I know you don't like me. In fact, I don't have any feelings for you."
"Then why?"
Ye Chen frowned. He secretly guessed if the other party suspected him because he attacked under the name of the Patriarch of Hell last night.
"Cai Wei said earlier that many forces are using my marriage to make a fuss and want to annex my King Mu Fort. Therefore, Cai Wei has no choice but to get married as soon as possible to destroy their hopes!"
Mu Caiwei's pretty face was extremely lonely as she opened her red lips, "That's why Caiwei plans to fake a marriage with you. Don't worry, other than the fact that we can't have sex, the King Mu Fort won't restrict you. On the contrary, you can even enjoy the treatment of a son-in-law."
Before Ye Chen could speak, she added, "I know that you were injured earlier, causing your martial vein to be damaged and you can't cultivate. I'm sure you're going to the Sutra Pavilion to find a way to repair your martial vein."
Ye Chen was speechless upon hearing that.
Seeing that he was silent, Mu Caiwei was even more certain of her guess. She said, "In fact, your Martial Vein is severely damaged. Ordinary people can't repair it. I might be able to help you recover your Martial Vein!"
Ye Chen was confused, "Since you want to fake the marriage, you can find anyone in the King Mu Fort. I believe they'll definitely be willing. Why are you looking for me?"
"No!"
Mu Caiwei forced a smile and said, "Young Master Shi, you might not know this, but our King Mu Fort has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and it's the culmination of the efforts of countless seniors. Many young elites in the fort are ambitious. If I choose them, they'll definitely hinder me in the future, and it might even affect the legacy of the King Mu Fort!"
As she said that, she took a good look at Ye Chen and said honestly, "Young Master Shi, you're different. You're being hunted down by your enemies. I'm sure your enemies are very powerful. Coupled with the fact that your cultivation base has been crippled, it's impossible for you to return anytime soon. Moreover, you're alone. If you marry into the King Mu Fort, it's impossible for you to threaten my brother's position."
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that.
To put it bluntly, what Mu Caiwei meant was that he, Ye Chen, had no one to rely on. He was unfamiliar with Tianfeng City, and he was a piece of trash who could not cultivate. Such a person was easy to control for the King Mu Fort, and they did not have to worry about him turning the tables.
Ye Chen's impression of Mu Caiwei changed a lot since she was so honest. However, just when he was about to reject her …
Mu Caiwei took out two maps from the drawer and placed them before Ye Chen gently, "One of them is a map of the Tianfeng sea area. I'll keep my promise and give the map to you, Young Master Shi."
At the end of her sentence, she opened the second map and said slowly, "Young Master Shi, this second map is a business under the King Mu Fort. It's called the Spirit Fog Island. There's a type of spirit herb on the island called the Heavenly Origin Fruit. It's one of the main ingredients for refining the Vein Replenishing Pill, and the Vein Replenishing Pill can help you repair your martial vein …"
Ye Chen took a look and saw that the map was a place covered in a sea of clouds. It seemed to be filled with spiritual fog all year round.
Just one look!
However, it caused his expression to change slightly.
It was because the place with the spiritual fog on the map completely overlapped with a scene on the map that he had obtained from the Wudang Grandmaster, Li Xuanji, on the ghost ship when he was in China.
The location of the Earth Immortal Fruit was marked on the map.
The Earth Immortal Fruit!
Wasn't that why he had stepped onto the ghost ship?
Ye Chen suppressed the joy inside of him and took the map calmly. He said, "Are you sure the Heavenly Origin Fruit you mentioned is on this island?"
"I'm sure!"
Mu Caiwei was delighted when she saw that he was tempted. She immediately said, "However, you can't go now. Even the people from the King Mu Fort can't go!"
Ye Chen's expression turned slightly cold, "Why?"
"There are countless rare birds on the Spirit Fog Island, and there are endless spiritual herbs. In the beginning, it was actually an industry that the King Mu Fort had been operating for generations."
Mu Caiwei hesitated and said, "However, many forces rose up in Tianfeng City later on. These forces coveted the Spirit Fog Island, so they went against the King Mu Fort many times. Coupled with the gradual decline of the King Mu Fort, we had no choice but to negotiate with these forces to share the Spirit Fog Island!"
Ye Chen said, "How do we share it?"
"All the forces, including the King Mu Fort, will hold a martial gathering every three years. All the forces will send their younger generation to fight, and the first force will be able to take over the Spirit Fog Island for three years. Three years later, the martial gathering will be held again to redistribute!"
Mu Caiwei explained slowly. At the end of her sentence, she said in a slightly lonely manner, "Three years ago, the King Mu Fort lost to the Seven Mysteries Mansion. Therefore, the Spirit Fog Island is currently managed by the Seven Mysteries Mansion."
She seemed to be afraid that Ye Chen would be disappointed after saying that, so she added, "However, the three-year period will be up in three days. All parties will hold a new martial gathering. Don't worry, I'll represent the King Mu Fort to fight and take back the management rights of the Spirit Fog Island!"
"Alright, I agree to be the son-in-law of the King Mu Fort!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered a few times as he made the final decision, "However, I'll make it clear first. It's only a fake marriage. I'll leave after I obtain the Heavenly Origin Fruit. The engagement between us naturally won't be valid!"
Now that he knew the whereabouts of the Earth Immortal Fruit, he secretly made up his mind to find a way to return to China after obtaining the Earth Immortal Fruit!
