"She... how did she end up like this?"
Although Su Zijin felt that it was really impolite to joke about her seventh daughter-in-law the first time she met her.
But there was nothing she could do; Xilin's appearance was just too funny and ridiculous, making Su Zijin unable to stop laughing.
She could only turn her head away, avoiding looking at Xilin's face, and then forcibly tried to sternly question Mu Jinyu.
"This is really something, why didn't you treat her?"
Su Zijin complained with a slightly resentful tone.
She was aware of the wonders of Mu Jinyu's Life Source Energy, and she was a bit puzzled why Mu Jinyu would bring a new daughter-in-law to meet her with her face injured like this and not treat her.
Listening to Su Zijin's tone, Mu Jinyu didn't think much of it at first, but soon he realized that his mother had mistaken Xilin for the new daughter-in-law?
Mu Jinyu was a bit speechless and amused, and then hearing Su Zijin's accusatory tone, he quickly explained, "I was the one who hit her! Mom, just don't worry about it!"
Mu Hongchen found this scene quite amusing, secretly covering his mouth and staying silent, enjoying the rare embarrassment of the Dragon King.
"You?" Su Zijin's eyebrows immediately stood up, her eyes filled with a murderous aura as she looked at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Oh wow, you're even into domestic violence now, what the hell..."
As she spoke, Su Zijin looked around, wanting to find something to hit Mu Jinyu with.
Xilin, who had been flushed with shame and anger from Su Zijin's mockery, was now dumbfounded, bewilderedly watching this pair of mother and son, not understanding what was going on with them.
Mu Jinyu saw that Su Zijin was so angry that she wanted to hit him, he hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, helplessly saying, "It wasn't just me who hit her, my master hit her too, we did a master-disciple tag team."
"Huh?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Su Zijin, who had just grabbed a broom, suddenly lost most of her anger, then looked at Mu Jinyu with confusion, puzzled why they would tag team to hit this pretty girl?
Su Zijin wasn't stupid, she quickly realized that she had misunderstood, this woman wasn't the seventh daughter-in-law Mu Jinyu brought her, she was probably a female slave!
And recalling Mu Jinyu's mention of the master-disciple tag team, Su Zijin remembered that they acted separately, with Mu Jinyu going to the Mesopotamian Plain, and Mu Shao'ai going to Mount Tai.
Bai Xiaosheng once mentioned that there was something suspected to be an alien near Mount Tai...
Su Zijin turned her head again, glancing at the twelve exquisite and beautiful wings behind Xilin, shimmering with a soft glow...
That's... not fake?
So this girl is the alien Bai Xiaosheng and the others talked about?
And then Mu Jinyu and his master went to Mount Tai to capture her and made her their female slave?!
Su Zijin suddenly understood the whole story, her face sheepishly put down the broom, and she incredulously looked at Xilin, then at Mu Jinyu, quietly asking, "Is she really a... slave?"
"Yes," Mu Jinyu nodded, looking quite helpless.
He really didn't expect that bringing a female slave would almost get him beaten up by his mom.
If he'd known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have brought Xilin here.
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier..." Su Zijin said with some guilt.
Mu Jinyu replied, exasperated, "I told you in the first sentence, she's a female slave..."
Su Zijin glared at Mu Jinyu, who immediately fell silent.
Oh well, it's his fault for not clarifying it better.
"Alright, go wash your hands and eat." Su Zijin beckoned Mu Hongchen to help her bring out the food and dishes, then said to Mu Jinyu.
After speaking, she hesitated, looking at Xilin, thinking that even if she was a female slave, she should still invite her to eat. It wasn't good for them to eat while she watched them, right?
"You go wash your hands and eat too..." Su Zijin gently said to Xilin.
"Wash hands and eat?" Xilin looked at Su Zijin in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.
It seemed like she'd never actually eaten a meal before.
Mu Jinyu noticed this and said, "Follow me."
Saying this, he walked toward the bathroom.
Xilin hesitated for a moment, worried she'd get hit, so she followed Mu Jinyu into the bathroom reluctantly.
Then, she widened her eyes, curiously watching Mu Jinyu turn on the faucet and wash his hands, then glanced at Mu Jinyu's reflection in the mirror and the nearby toilet and other things.
All of these were things she'd never seen before, which made her feel a sense of novelty.
After washing his hands, Mu Jinyu didn't use the hand dryer to dry his hands, he just shook them dry without a drop of water left, then walked toward the dining room.
"Wash your hands and come eat."
"Oh."
Xilin responded, then mimicked him by turning on the faucet to wash her hands.
After washing her hands, she looked up and saw...
Her own disfigured appearance!
"Ah!!"
Unavoidably, Xilin let out a scream of disbelief and anger.
She never imagined her extraordinary beauty could be beaten into this state by Mu Jinyu and the others, it sent her into utter fury!
And now she finally understood why Su Zijin was laughing when she saw her appearance earlier.
She originally felt it was strange that this woman mocked her out of nowhere, now she finally understood.
"What's wrong with her?"
In the dining room, Su Zijin was quietly inquiring about Xilin, and when she heard Xilin's angry scream, she was startled, almost dropping her bowl of rice.
Recovering her bowl, she looked at Mu Jinyu in bewilderment, not understanding what made the alien lose her temper.
Mu Jinyu chuckled, "She was probably shocked by her current appearance."
"You!"
At that moment, an infuriated Xilin burst into the dining room, glaring angrily at Mu Jinyu, seemingly ready to attack him.
"What are you 'you-ing'? Call me master," Mu Jinyu said calmly.
Xilin was so angry she couldn't breathe, feeling that this guy was utterly shameless, beating her like this, yet still forcing her to be his slave, and now asking her to call him master...
She couldn't take it anymore!
"Why did you hit my face?" Xilin finally couldn't hold back and questioned Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu put down his bowl, looking at Xilin with impatience, responded casually, "What's wrong with hitting you? Back at Mount Tai, weren't you trying to kill me? At that time, you weren't my slave yet, so turning you into this, what's the problem?"
Xilin's angry questioning suddenly halted.
Thinking about Mu Jinyu's words, it seemed he had a point.
Previously they were enemies, both were ready to fight to kill, and Mu Jinyu could have killed her right away. But he probably thought she could still be useful, so he kept her alive.
So her face being beaten like this, there wasn't really a problem, right?
Xilin's momentum suddenly weakened.
Then she spoke in a complicated, slightly angry tone, "Could you... at least lift the restrictions, I don't want to look like a panda..."
Mu Jinyu shook his head, "No, what if you run away?"
Xilin was about to argue that she wouldn't run.
But then she thought if he really lifted the restrictions, it would indeed be a perfect escape opportunity.
While she hesitated, Mu Jinyu laughed, "See, you don't even trust your own words..."
Xilin was immediately discouraged, "Then at least help me get rid of the bruises..."
Mu Jinyu slightly shook his head, then said meaningfully, "Since you want the master's help, you should show your attitude..."
