<h4>Chapter 992</h4>


    It was already winter when the party of six returned to the borders of Wanxiang City.


    Snow covered the sky, dyeing the ground with a cold, white color, making everything look that much more serious.


    The entire wanxiang city seemed more solemn than usual under the cover of snow. To countless peopleing with dreams of soul pet trainers, the already majestic city gained a piercing sharpness. They no longer dared to look up when they entered the city and walk confidently down the dignified roads. Instead, they hung their heads low and sighed as they disappeared into the city.


    The city was still bustling and busy. There and back was a long year. Flying in the cold skies, Chu Mu was rueful, and Ye Qingzi’s beautiful face appeared in his mind along with Ning Maner’s chime likeugh and determined look.


    “It’s been a year abroad, my mother must be worried. I will say goodbye first and reconvene with everyer.” Chao Lengchuan was like an obedient child. Just as he returned to wanxiang city, he quickly took his leave and returned to main soul pce.


    The five people were very speechless about prince chao. He was this old already yet he was still like this. If he didn’te into contact with society more, he was like a kid that never grew up.


    Prince Chao saw everyone staring with a look of disgust and was embarrassed. Quickly bowing, he ran away.


    “I have to return to nightmare pce, you all take care.” Shen Mo learned prince Chao’s expression and turned around to leave.


    “Take care? Soul pce and nightmare pce are less than ten minutes apart......” Pang Yue rolled her eyes and gave tengng a stare, “If you mimic them, you’re dead to me.”


    “Ugh....” Teng Lang was actually about to but could only give up at that.


    Chu Mu didn’t bother with these people fooling around. Seeing Mu Qingyi ride her white tiger, he asked, “You? Are youing to soul pce with me, or....”


    “I’m returning to queen pce.” Mu Qingyi said calmly.


    “Goddess Mu wants to reim everything of hers. Looks like things will be interesting in the next few days.” Teng Lang heard andughed, unafraid of the chaos.


    “Do you need help?” Chu Mu felt that Mu Qingyi by herself may find things inconvenient. Now that nightmare palcaepletely obeyed theirmand, helping Mu Qingyi bring together some people wasn’t too hard.


    “No worry, I still have some loyal subordinates. If I have them, it’s fine. You three pce shouldn’t participate in case there’s war ahead of schedule.” Mu Qingyi said.


    “En, then you stay safe.” Chu Mu nodded.


    After speaking, Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi decided to say goodbye to Pang Yue. Yet, they noticed the two had backed off a long time ago, and were even more speechless.


    Wanxiang City was indeedrge, but they all lived in inner city and near wanxiang altar. Seeing them wasn’t too hard, so everyone split ways after speaking some more, leaving just Chu Mu and Teng Lang.


    “Chao Lengchuan truly is inconsiderate. It’s like we aren’t soul pce, not even waiting for us to go back together.” Teng Langined.


    ......


    Soul pce’s two young masters were both very low profile, deciding to enter through the front gate.


    After entering the main soul pce, Teng Lang had to go report to his father and waved goodbye.


    Chu Mu walked along the pces until he reached therge courtyard at the back, wanting to give his little wife arge surprise after a year of being apart.


    Yet, entering the courtyard, he didn’t see Ye Qingzi, Ning Maner, or even the restless white nightmares.


    “Ah, young master, you’re back.” Little servant girl held a basin. Seeing Chu Mu standing outside, she smiled shyly and said.


    “Why isn’t there anyone here?” Chu Mu asked.


    “Lady went to the supreme pce, and is probably by theke right now.” Little servant girl said. Chu Mu nodded and walked to Ye QIngzi’s normal medicine making room. After putting down some more valuable gemstones he found there, he reasoned he had nothing better to do, and went towards the supreme pce.


    Theke pavilion Chu Mu had been to a few times. The view was good, likely entuated with a special touch by the snowy season.


    Theke was already frozen like a hazy mirror. Some kes of snowzily floated through the air, tracing elegant paths through the sky.


    Walking to the wooden walkway, Chu Mu saw a beautiful and calm girl sitting in the pavilion. Wearing a snow white fur robe that brought out her noble and curvaceous body, she stood like an angel in this winter day, pure and untainted.


    Chu Mu saw her and was stunned.


    This figure was familiar yet strange. In the past, when he saw her, her chilling apathy caused Chu Mu to feel scared and cowardly. He never understood why his father was so easily approachable yet his mother was this unepting.


    Now, Chu Mu slowly understood that she was simply born this way; no one could approach her easily. Her stories instead hid under her icy cover. Her emotions were hidden behind calm and lonely eyes, much like the snow covering up everything else.


    Chu Mu lost his thoughts staring at her. Only after a while did he finally make his way along the wooden corridor.


    She clearly hadn’t noticed him yet. Chu Mu just walked up to her slowly and smiled, calling out “Mom.”


    Liu Binn’s body shivered. Turning around, a handsome smile fell into her view. The confidence and ease in the smile radiated a man’s unique charm, almost confusing Liu Binn as to whether this was her husband that wanted to roam the world and regain all he lost, or was it the determined worker pushing towards a goal in his heart.


    “Chu Mu......” Liu Binn’s cold heart melted instantly, bing the moisture in her eyes.


    From Ye Qingzi, Liu Binn already knew that Chu Mu was still alive.


    Yet, when Chu Mu truly stood in front of her and smiled as he called her mom, all her emotions finally broke through the dam in her heart, revealing her most sincere and vulnerable side.


    The heart wrenching grief she felt after Chu Mu became a devil, as well as the tears of joy from the reunion created a juxtapositon between heaven and hell. Even Liu Binn didn’t realize she was suffering this much mental stress over the past years. Seeing her son well, she choked on her words as she hugged Chu Mu’s shoulders tightly......


    Chu Mu looked at his crying mother and felt waves of warmth course through his heart. No matter where he went, she was always thinking of him, worrying for him.


    No one liked being alone and having no ties with the world......
