Chapter 70 Your Beauty Trick Is a Little Clumsy
So bad at drinking?
Otherwise, why would the noble lady, who has always been dignified and steady, call herself Su Su?
Murong Mengli saw that Su Mu had been staring at her, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, so her face seemed to turn redder: "Maybe you like..."
"Yes, I like extraordinary potions, preferably [Heart of Iron] and other extraordinary potions that can enhance physical fitness."
Murong Mengli: "......"
"The extraordinary potion is very popular and difficult to buy. I originally planned to use the Noble Phantasm to pay for this operation. If you insist, Susu, I can send someone to find out about the extraordinary potion."
"Thank you." Although Su Mu is also interested in Noble Phantasms, he knows that the most suitable one for him is the extraordinary potion, because he only has one month to live. After getting the extraordinary potion to strengthen the body, he can gain abilities similar to Yang Dongqing's. , so as to better extend the life span.
"Su Su, I think your Bronze Law should be related to the spirit. I'm afraid the extraordinary physical potion is not suitable for you..." She turned her head slightly, looked at Su Mu, and lightly brushed her forehead with her slender fingers. Tuck the first few strands of hair behind your ears, and raise the corners of your mouth in a vague arc. This simple movement is full of endless charm.
"With all due respect, Miss Mengli, your beauty tactic is a bit clumsy."
Murong Mengli's hand combing her hair froze, and she couldn't put it down for a moment, nor could she continue.
The eyes hidden behind the brown glasses seemed to have some kind of insight into people's hearts. He looked at the stiff Murong Mengli and said lightly: "It seems that Miss Mengli's dilemma is greater than I imagined, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to find her." Give reasons for your behavior.”
At this time, Murong Mengli had already retracted her hand, and the smile on her face slowly faded. Perhaps unwilling to be stubborn, she asked: "Am I really so unfeminine?"
"No, Miss Mengli is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in real life."
"I'm not your type?"
"I like young women with a girly feel, and girls with a young womanly feel. You happen to be the latter."
"and you......."
"However, I prefer extraordinary potions to women." Su Mu said bluntly.
Murong Mengli was stunned for a long time. She looked at Su Mu, who had a serious look on her face, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This time, her smile seemed to have taken off all defenses, with a kind of romance unique to a girl.
"Susu, you are really interesting."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Murong Mengli put away her smile and said seriously: "You are a smart person. I can't control people like you, but I do need an ally like you. All I can give you now is sincerity and commitment. If you still want to continue listening."
"All ears." Su Mu smiled lightly.
"I believe you can also see that except for a noble title and a little money, I have nothing else. Even the bronze coffin is new. The employees, under the instigation of Han Yu, do not respect me as a noble."
Su Mu nodded without interrupting.
"I am an illegitimate daughter." The expression on Murong Mengli's face became less and less, as she told her story like an outsider.
"My mother was once a slave and was bought by my father, who then gave birth to me. In fact, I shouldn't have been born because my identity would bring shame to the entire Murong family, but it happened that the day I was born was my father's birthday. In addition, my mother begged me hard, so I was born.
When I became an adult, I did not receive the support of my family and have my own property like my brothers and sisters. Instead, I was imprisoned in the manor and not allowed to go out.
The reason why I got support to establish the Bronze Coffin this time is because my father is about to die. He is a third-level silver extraordinary person. When he was young, he took too many extraordinary potions and used many taboo methods in order to advance. His lifespan has been overdrawn, and now his only way to survive is to find the Golden Eye, refine it into a gold-level awakening potion, and then advance to gold.
This has also been his dream all along, to become a golden man and regain the glory of his ancestors, and then return to the imperial capital and the center of power.
In order to survive and dream, he has lost his head and refuses to let go of any hope, letting all his children look for the Golden Eye. It was at this time that I got the opportunity. "
Su Mu frowned slightly, not because of the other party's tragic life experience, but because he sensed something was wrong.
"Where is Han Yu? He was sent by your father to help you, but why does he always oppose you? This seems to be contrary to your father's purpose."
"Han Yu?" There was a hint of coldness in Murong Mengli's smile: "Although he belongs to the Murong family, he has actually been bribed by my fiancé."
"fiancé?"
"Yes, you may have heard of his name, Qian Zihao, the richest man in Star City, a rich fat man. Although he is rich, he is not a nobleman. He has always longed for the status of a nobleman and often wanders in the circles of the nobles. , hoping to get married to a certain noble lady.
But the nobles have no regard for a nouveau riche like him, and it is impossible for any nobleman to marry him, except me. "Murong Mengli's eyes showed a trace of extreme disgust, and she seemed to hate Qian Zihao very much.
"Qian Zihao, who had been running into obstacles everywhere, recognized his status and knew that in the eyes of the nobles, he was synonymous with being stupid and rich, so he settled for the next best thing and went to my father and spent a lot of money to get my father to agree. This marriage."
Su Mu nodded and expressed his understanding. If an unpopular illegitimate daughter could be sold for a large price, the head of the family would definitely be willing to do so.
"I roughly understand Miss Mengli, but why did Qian Zihao bribe Han Yu to go against you?"
The hatred in Murong Mengli's eyes became stronger and stronger: "Because my father promised that the children who found the Golden Eye would be established as the heirs of the family!
If I become the heir of the family, it is naturally impossible to marry Qian Zihao. The family will not allow the future heir to marry a commoner, no matter how rich the other party is.
In fact, among the many children, my strength is undoubtedly the weakest. I have neither awakened the talent in the golden bloodline nor too many assets and manpower. Relatively speaking, I am also the least hopeful to find the Golden Eye.
But Qian Zihao is a very cautious person. He is unwilling to take the slightest risk. Even if there is a slight chance, he will strangle it in the cradle."
Su Mu glanced at Murong Mengli, who was full of hatred. At this moment, he completely understood why the other party easily let him invest and even directly blew himself up.
Because she had no choice, after twenty years of suppressed life, she finally saw hope and established her own company, but was secretly blocked by her fiancé. She had been forced into a dead end. If she wanted to survive under the two mountains of her family and her fiancé, she could only seek external forces to break the situation.
And he was the external force she found.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a strange look in his heart. Perhaps the scene that frightened Han Yu to kneel down before caused some misunderstanding to Murong Mengli, making the other party think that her power was very strong and capable of dealing with the imperial nobles and the richest man in Xingcheng.
This made Su Mu sigh: You are so accurate in judging people!
