Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 120 The Ink Moon Organization?

Huan Yuechu, who was the first to come into contact with this magical artifact, quickly found a way to break the restriction thanks to her profound spiritual power.

With a soft shout, she flashed with light and in the blink of an eye, she successfully broke free from the powerful force's restraint.

Huan Yuechu then quickly scanned the surroundings and found that everyone except herself and the little girl was still.

After some questioning, Huan Yuechu finally understood the matter of the box: it turned out that this seemingly ordinary box was actually a peerless magic weapon from ancient times - it possessed an incomparably powerful subduing force, capable of easily suppressing those who attempted to seize the treasure.

Then, Huan Yuechu took the box without hesitation and looked at the little girl with a smile.

She then slowly squatted down and gently handed the box back to the little girl.

The little girl's tear-streaked face instantly blossomed into a bright smile. Overjoyed, she snatched the box and hugged it tightly to her chest, as if afraid of losing it again.

I approached the little girl with a serious expression, lowered my voice, and gave her my instructions, word by word.

"This matter is currently known only to you and me. You absolutely mustn't reveal it to anyone else, or I'm worried you won't be able to keep that box. Understand?"

Seeing the little girl nod blankly, I breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then added something else.

"So, do you know how to remove these restrictions?" As I said this, I couldn't help but ponder this to myself.

Actually, with my own abilities, removing this restriction is not difficult, it just takes a lot of time.

More importantly, if we want to rescue those imprisoned items in batches, it will inevitably expose the existence of this mysterious box... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown and fall into deep thought.

Just then, a gentle pat landed on my shoulder.

I snapped out of my daze, looked up at the little girl, and my face was full of confusion.

The little girl looked at me with determined eyes and said softly, "Sister, I can do it."

Hearing her words, my heart skipped a beat, and my original worries seemed to lessen a little.

Since the little girl is so confident, perhaps she really can prevent the truth from being revealed.

So, I started discussing with the little girl when would be the best time to lift the restrictions.

After we finished talking, Huan Yuechu hurriedly walked up to Wu Quan.

She nimbly took the sword from Xu Yan and, without hesitation, held it to Wu Quan's neck.

At the same time, she turned to the little girl and nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready.

In that instant, it was as if time suddenly stopped for a moment and then started flowing rapidly again, and everyone returned to normal as if waking from a dream.

However, just as Wu Quan was about to make a move, he found a gleaming sword firmly pressed against his throat.

He looked closely and realized that the person holding the sword was me. He was startled and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, his body was as stiff as a statue, and he dared not make any rash moves.

"Be careful, be careful!" A cry of alarm came from the side, but Huan Yuechu ignored Wu Quan's shouts.

She held a sharp blade tightly against Wu Quan's skin. Even if Wu Quan tried to struggle, the extremely sharp blade would leave a thin bloodstain on his neck.

Blood slowly seeped out, staining a small patch of clothing red. Wu Quan stared wide-eyed in terror, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a sound.

Then, Huan Yuechu pointed the tip of her sword at Wu Quan's restless subordinates and said coldly.

"If you don't want your boss to die here, you'd better stop right now!"

Seeing this, the people looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and finally dared not step forward rashly.

Seeing that they had stopped, Huan Yue slowly turned her gaze back to Wu Quan.

At this moment, her eyes no longer held only indifference and murderous intent, but also a subtle sense of authority and a deep sense of questioning.

"Tell me, why did you try to snatch the box from this child?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible power.

Wu Quan's face was full of anger, but he dared not resist, yet he still stubbornly replied.

"Hmph! This is mine, what's it to you! If you know what's good for you, let me go right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Huan Yuechu smiled coldly after hearing Wu Quan's words.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." With that, she thrust the sword forward a little more, and another bloody gash appeared on Wu Quan's neck.

Wu Quan panicked and hurriedly shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Someone told me that this box contains a huge treasure, and that as long as I get it, I can become incredibly wealthy and gain unparalleled power."

Huan Yuechu frowned. "Who told you that?"

Wu Quan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

"It was the branch leader of the Mo Yue Sect. After he learned that this box had appeared, he ordered us to come and seize it."

Huan Yuechu, Wen Xingyu, and Xu Yan exchanged glances, their eyes revealing confusion and bewilderment.

Clearly, they knew nothing about this so-called Ink Moon Cult.

When Wu Quan saw that they knew absolutely nothing about the Mo Yue Sect, his anger flared instantly. He roared with wide eyes, "You don't even know about the Mo Yue Sect!"

Wen Xingyu frowned and asked innocently, "Could it be that this is some very famous organization?"

Wu Quan was trembling with anger, pointing at them and stammering.

"You...you are all utterly ignorant! The Mo Yue Sect is one of the top ten most powerful organizations in the world! Its members are incredibly skilled, and any one of them could be a figure of great influence. Commoners like you could never reach that level in your entire lives!"

Hearing this, Wen Xingyu didn't really agree, but she decided not to spoil the other person's fun.

So they all pretended to be very surprised and exclaimed in unison, "Oh! Oh! So this is such an amazing organization!"

Huan Yuechu clearly didn't want to listen to this nonsense. She took a step forward, approaching Wu Quan, her gaze sharp as a sword, and asked coldly.

"In that case, may I ask where your leader is now?"

After a slight hesitation, Wu Quan stammered out his words.

"I... I'm just an insignificant disciple. I've never even had the chance to meet someone of that level."

Upon hearing this, my gaze instantly sharpened, like two cold beams shooting straight at him, as I coldly threatened him.

"Hmph, if you dare utter another word of nonsense, don't blame my sword for being merciless. I'll make sure you don't leave this place alive today!"
