Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 73: Bao'er

Tang Wulin was confused about what that purple energy was. For some reason, he felt a profound sense of affectionate familiarity and longing to it.

He didn't get to think much more about it as he heard footsteps coming behind him. He turned his head to see Xia Yan and Tang Yun running towards him. Both of them came to a stop in front of him, and their eyes widen from seeing the deceased body of Nirgigante.

'Xia Yan was telling me he was strong, but this is...' Thought Tang Yun as he was staring at the lifeless body of Nirgigante.

"Incredible brother Wulin." Said Xia Yan.

"Did you get the people you came for?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"Yes, I did. Oh right, this is Tang Yun the Spirit Elder grandson." Said Xia Yun, causing Tang Wulin eyes to widen.

"This may be your likely ancestor." Said Zeref as he appeared next to him.

"Hahaha, I heard your name also has Tang in it." Said Tang Yun with a smile on his face, causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

"So how did you get captured?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"Sigh, we got captured because we didn't realize Nergigante and the Spirit Beasts here were tailing us." Said Tang Yun.

The plan was for him and his elite squad to make their way toward the Spirit Beast fraction that didn't want to dispose of them out and try to make an alliance with them.

Tang Yun believed that they would be willing to form one, once they saw the hidden power of the humans.

With the power of Spirit Metamorphosis and the human numbers, it would be possible with their help to prevent the mass slaughter of the Humans.

"But anyway, it's best we make our way back to my grandfather. I'm sure he is getting anxious about me." Said Tang Yun as he began to chuckle.

Tang Yun went towards the human's survivors that were all bloodied and trembling. He was shocked at the fact that they gained the courage to fight back and was also proud.

The crowd of humans didn't say anything or twitch when they saw Tang Yun. But when they saw Tang Wulin walking all the humans started to roar and cheer.

"Wow." Said Tang Yun as he turned toward Tang Wulin who was focusing on overlooking the crowd in front of him.

Shaking his head Tang Yun began to manage the crowd and then have them follow him back to their base.

BANG! BANG!

There was a deafening sound as if two metals were hitting and smashing into each other. A girl was in a dusky room smashing her hammer on the metal in front of her.

She was so focused that she didn't notice someone walking inside the room and standing behind her.

'She has gotten better.' Thought Mu Chen as he gazes at his daughter, Mu Xi. It has been six months since she came to him and asks him to instruct her.

'If she keeps this up, she may be able to become a 6th rank blacksmith soon.' Thought Mu Xi.

After a while, Mu Xi stops smashing down on the metals and started to wipe off the sweat from her brow. She was breathing hard, and her arm was struggling to keep the orange hammer in her hand.

'Damn it. Still not there.' Thought Mu Xi as she was sure she would have been able to make a breakthrough today.

Mu Xi sighed and then turn her, to see her Dad standing behind her smiling radiantly. She jumps in fright and then narrowed her brilliant eyes at him.

"You stupid old man!" Yelled Mu XI as she glared fiercely at Mu Chen who just chuckles back at her.

Mu Chen jumps toward his lovely daughter to give her a hug but Mu Xi sidesteps out of the way with a snort and looks down at him with disdain.

"My dearest daughter, why don't you give daddy a hug? You haven't given daddy a hug in months!" Mu Chen complains as he got up off the ground.

Mu Xi only sighed at her father antics and walk out of the darkroom, that she has been working on her smithing in.

Ever since she started training with her father and her other teachers, she has been staying in the Blacksmith Association most of the time.

Her teacher Feng Wuyu said he had to do a job for someone, and Zhen Hua had to go back to the Association. They told her to continue practicing and also raising her cultivation.

'Still, why did I have to be left with my dad!' Thought Mu Xi as she sneaks a glance at her dad who was grinning at her.

"Well, my dearest daughter you better go wash up. Remember we have to meet your Mother at the Swamp Cove restaurant." Said Mu Chen, causing Mu Xi to nod her head and run to her room.

As Mu Chen watch his daughter head out the building, he notes the people around sneaking glances at her fleeting form and it was specifically the guys.

Mu Chen face turned cold as his figure as his release his killing intent, causing the whole room to flinch from it. He then started to smile at the boys and staring down the group of foolish boys who were trembling uncontrollably.

A charming woman who was going to one of the blacksmith room only shook her head and sighed from the familiar scene.

'Poor Mu Xi, she may never find a suitable husband with her overprotective father and those monsters teacher.' The women thought as she went into the blacksmith room.

Scenes like this have been happening over the past six months. With all of the boys being intimidated by either one of Mu Xi teachers or her father.

The worst part is they made sure Mu Xi doesn't know what they are doing as they knew her and her temper.

After a while, Mu Xi and Mu Chen were walking toward Swamp Cove to meet Mu Bao'er. Mu Xi realize she hasn't talked to or see her mom in a while.

As both of them reach Swamp Cove and went inside, they sighted her.

"Mom!" Said Mu Xi as she began to run to her mother.

Mu Bao'er was a woman in her 40s but was able to still retain her youthful looks. She had long raven hair that fell down to her waist with lavender eyes. Her skin was snow white with a thin figure. She was truly still an attractive woman.

"Oh, my adorable daughter." Said Mu Bao'er as she pulled Mu Xi into a hug. Mu Xi giggles at her mother and looks up to her with a smile but then she saw her mother eyes narrowed at her.

"Young lady, you don't call or even write a letter." Said Mu Bao'er as she promptly begins to pinch Mu Xi face causing her to squirm in her mom embrace.

"I'm sorry mom." Said Mu Xi but her beloved mother wouldn't stop pinching her rosy cheeks.

"And you, how could you knowingly allow our dear daughter to do nothing but train." Said Mu Bao'er as she glares fiercely at Mu Chen who flinches.

"Come now dear, this is all for Mu Xi benefit." Said Mu Chen as he earnestly tried to placate his lovely wife. Mu Bao'er continue to glare at Mu Chen and then sighed.

"Alright, I understand. Now come sit down and tell me how things are." Said Mu Bao'er as she let go of Mu Xi cheek and began to smile.

Mu Xi and Mu Chen both smiled, happy that Mu Bao'er wasn't mad as they went to go sit down. Mu Xi began telling her mom everything that happened over the last six months with a beaming smile on her face.

Truthfully Mu Xi likes to tell her mom about everything. Whether it be from the simplest thing to how she is doing in Shrek.

"Well at least your doing well." Said Mu Bao'er after hearing the harshness of Mu Xi Training. She didn't get unreasonable because she sincerely trusts Mu Chen to stop and protect their daughter from danger.

"So find any boy you like yet?" Said Mu Bao'er, causing Mu Xi eyes to widen and Mu Chen to narrow his.

"Mom!"

"I Forbid it!"

"What was that! You forbid what!"Yelled Mu Xi as she glared at Mu Chen.

"Sorry, my dearest daughter! But daddy refuses to give you up!" Said Mu Chen as he glared back at his daughter.

Mu Bao'er watches as both father and daughter banter with each other. A faint smile appeared on her face as she leans back and waited for them to finish.

'I really do cherish moments like these.' Thought Mu Bao'er, as she hopes all of them would be able to stay together for a while longer.

"So you don't have anyone you want to date on your mind?" Said Mu Bao'er causing Mu Xi to flinch and turned toward her.

"What are you talking about..."

"Well, you don't have a boy who makes your heart race?"

"Of course-"

"Not even that Wulin kid?" Said Mu Bao'er, causing Mu Xi to have her mouth wide open and her face turning crimson.

"You like Wulin?" Questioned Mu Chen but then he set his hand on his chin.

"Well he isn't bad and he could keep you in line. I guess I will approve." Mu Chen grumbles, causing Mu Xi to glare at him while her face was flushed.

"Why would I require your approval, and what do you mean to keep me in line!" Mu Xi Shouted as Mu Chen just shook his head.

Both of them went back to bantering with each other, while Mu Bao'er was happy her little sun was able to find someone to passionately love.

'Honestly, I thought she would have become infatuated with forging.'

"Anyway, honey. That Tang Wulin boy seems like the type that would require you to take the offensive." Said Mu Bao'er causing Mu Xi and Mu Chen to stop bantering.

"Wh-"

"Now honey, I don't want you to have regrets or a broken heart. So once Tang Wulin comes back, you must make a move on him and then confess your genuine feelings. You guys have known each other long enough." Siad Mu Bao'er with her eyes closed and nodding her head.

Mu Xi had no words to say as she stared at her dear mother.

"Remember Mu Xi, if you sincerely like something or someone then you have to fight for it."

"I forbid it!"

"But we need to do this!"

"I don't care! We don't require help from a bunch of beasts!"

"Grandfather we can't start a war by our self!"

"Says who? Didn't we rescue you by our self? We don't need a bunch of beasts!"

Tang Wulin watches as both Tang Yun and the Spirit Elder argue passionately with each other. He sighed as this has been going on for hours and they still haven't come to a compromise.

"Both of you shut up for a second." Said Tang Wulin, causing both Tang Yun and the Spirit Elder to turn to him.

"Tang Yun you're terribly mistaken about humans seeking help from the Spirit Beast." Said Tang Wulin.

"Why do you say that?" Asked Tang Yun.

"Because there is no reason for them to align with a fraction as weak as the human. In fact, they may even make demands just for you to get their help."Said Tang Wulin causing Tang Yun to fall into silence.

"So what do you suggest?" Asked Xia Yan who was standing next to him.

"I suggest these humans fight for their freedom. Making an alliance to save them? What is the point if the people you save, won't even have the courage to fight with you." Said Tang Wulin.

"Spirit Elder, how long will it take for you to do Spirit Metamorphosis on everyone?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"A week at most." Said the Spirit Elder.

"In one week, we will march toward the next Spirit Beast base." Said Tang Wulin.

"We're are going to rescue the others?" Questioned the Spirit Elder.

"Rescue? No." Said Tang Wulin as his face started to turn cold.

"We're declaring war on the Spirit Beast." Said Tang Wulin as he began to turn around to leave the hut.

"It is about time for a rebellion."
