After hearing these words from the Ninth Emperor, Dongfang Yu felt even more guilty.
If it were not for her lack of competence, the Ninth Emperor would not have had to come out to solve this matter herself…
She pursed her lips and looked at Mu Yi angrily.
The Ninth Emperor put her hands down and walked toward Mu Yi.
Each step made Mu Yi’s heart tremble more, but he did not dare to stop kowtowing.
“Do you think when you kowtow and die here, it will soften my heart to let Mu Qingya go? Or do you think that by having so many people around, I will give in to public opinion and forgive her?”
Mu Yi was stunned and bowed his head. “Little Nine, I do not mean this…”
“If that’s not the case, then what do you mean by this?” The Ninth Emperor sneered, leaned down, and looked at Mu Yi. “Mu Yi, even if you die in front of me, I will not let her go. Why should I let a person who wants to harm me alive? In my case, there is no way to repay grudges with virtue…”
‘In my case, there is no such thing as repaying a grudge with virtue.’
These words made Mu Yi’s heart tremble even more. He was covered in blood when he lunged toward the Ninth Emperor.
“Little Nine, I don’t believe that you are such a person. You were kind before. How could you have turned out like this? You will let her go. After all, she is your sister.”
‘Sister?’
These two words made the Ninth Emperor sneer. “He is just your daughter, not my sister. Besides, you and I didn’t have any relationship before.”
Mu Yi raised his head sharply and stared at the Ninth Emperor in shock.
“What do you mean by that? I’m your father. Why do you think I didn’t have any relationship with you before? Little Nine, do you want your father to die in front of you before you are willing to let her go?”
His eyes were filled with grief and desire as he looked at the Ninth Emperor.
It was as if what the Ninth Emperor had done was an extreme evil.
“Are you my father?”
She looked at Mu Yi coldly and asked sternly.
Mu Yi trembled, and a flash of weakness crossed his eyes.
That weakness was so obvious that it was difficult for the Ninth Emperor not to find out.
“Little Nine, you are Little Nine of the Mu family. If I am not your father, then who is? Can you not disown me?”
His tone was filled with despair, and he kept looking at the Ninth Emperor.
The Ninth Emperor chuckled. “Some time ago, I found a painting in the cellar. The person in that painting is my mother…”
The painting was a fox, but she knew that her mother was the spirit beast.
And… She was a beastman…
She had not told this secret to anyone yet. Perhaps even Mu Yi must not know that her mother was a spirit beast.
After all, if they knew who she was, the Mu family and that old lady would not easily let her go.
Beastmen were special creatures and could also help others cultivate.
Usually they would be endlessly pursued and killed.
Of course, when it came to people like Old Lady Mu, once she knew that her mother was a beastman, Old Lady Mu would sell her to others.
Fortunately, these people did not know about it. Otherwise, she would not be able to resist.
But now…
Even if the world knew that she was a beastman, no one could do anything to her anymore.
Mu Yi panicked even more and clenched his fists tightly. “I do not understand. What do you mean by that? It’s just a painting…”
