Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1253: A Jaw-Dropping Scene

Taowu was so terrified that its eyes rolled back, and it kept muttering to itself, "It’s over, daring to be disrespectful to Lord Aolai, this time it’s really over."

It desperately wanted to faint and dissipate with Mu Hanyan’s death, but unfortunately, the will of a Divine Beast was too strong. Even if it wanted to faint, it couldn’t, only to suffer in fear.

In the stunned gaze of everyone and Taowu’s desperate final prayers, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The supremely powerful "Netherworld Beast" looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion, its roar growing softer, and finally, it gently nuzzled Mu Hanyan’s cheek. Tears welled up in its eyes.

Its intimate and blissful manner resembled a big dog that had been lost for years, reunited with its master.

"What’s going on, how is this happening?" Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene, their minds blank.

Nearby, the few Netherworld Prison Lords growled lowly. Although they had initially been intimidated by the Divine Beast Heavenly Might of Aolai, they did not belong to the Holy Court Continent and had no contractual ties to the Aolai Divine Beast. They quickly adapted, regaining their unique savage, brutal aura, and eyed Mu Hanyan menacingly.

"Han Yan, be careful!" Gong Hongru warned.

Due to the bizarre situation between Mu Hanyan and the Aolai Divine Beast, they couldn’t comprehend what was happening and dared not act rashly, for fear of offending the Aolai Divine Beast and bringing disaster upon Mu Hanyan.

Naturally, they didn’t know the background of the Aolai Divine Beast at this time, although they perceived significant differences between it and the Netherworld Beast, they dared not take it lightly.

"Roar!" The Aolai Divine Beast suddenly let out a resounding howl.

Gong Hongru and the others thought its ferocity had awakened and their expressions changed. They were about to rush to save Mu Hanyan when a golden whirlwind swept past the Netherworld Prison Lords, and several dull thuds sounded almost simultaneously.

The towering forms of the Netherworld Prison Lords suddenly shrunk, all smashed into meat patties.

The Aolai Divine Beast turned its head, gave Mu Hanyan a deep look, howled skyward, then ascended into the air, leaving only a golden misty trail across the sky.

Silence enveloped the surroundings. Mu Hanyan watched the disappearing figure of the Aolai Divine Beast, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of loss, as if something extremely important had been lost.

Jiang Yunhe and the three elders, Tu Jingleng, stood in a daze: it was gone. The strongest Netherworld Beast they summoned at the cost of their lifespans using the Blood Sacrifice Technique...perhaps it wasn’t a Netherworld Beast, but another type of Exotic Beasts or Divine Beast, had just left. Not only did it leave, but before leaving, it turned the exceptionally powerful Netherworld Prison Lords into meat patties.

Thinking of their already dwindling lifespans and then seeing the unscathed Mu Hanyan, they felt like crying but had no tears.

"I didn’t expect it to end this way. Mu Hanyan, how much more surprise can you bring?" Jiang Qiling smiled bitterly, yet strangely, there was no sense of loss or defeat on her face, rather a slight ease of relief.

Jiang Yunhe clenched his teeth, gave a light shout, and ascended into the air with Jiang Qiling, followed closely by the three elders, Tu Jingleng. At this point, they all knew there was no point in staying any longer. Though their strength was formidable, slightly inferior to Gong Hongru and others,’ especially Feng Qingyu who was stronger, they had no hope of snatching the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate from Mu Hanyan.

Feng Qingyu moved to pursue them, but then heard Nangong Jingyuan sigh softly, "Let it go, let them go. Though the Divine Servant Clan differs in ideology from us, ultimately, it’s for the peace of the Continent; there’s no need for total annihilation."

"You, always too soft-hearted, love playing the fool." Feng Qingyu obviously felt reluctant, but still stopped.

"If I weren’t fond of playing the fool, how would you have easily escaped all those years ago?" Nangong Jingyuan chuckled bitterly.

"As if it was a grievance; that’s the Dean position of Long Yan Academy, second only to the sovereign among nations. Even emperors have to respectfully address you as Lord of the Academy, and how many people are envious, yet you blame me." Feng Qingyu said cheekily.

"Since there’s envy, why didn’t you take it, leave it to me?" Nangong Jingyuan retorted irritably, blowing out his beard.

Mu Hanyan was secretly amazed. Before, hearing Nangong Jingyuan’s admonitions to Feng Qingyu like a will, she vaguely guessed this perverse fat man had some background. Now she realized the Dean position Nangong Jingyuan held was actually given by Feng Qingyu.

"You know my disposition, I naturally cannot settle. If I really took that Dean position, the academy would’ve been ruined in my hands, it’s better suited to you." The fat man chuckled.

Mu Hanyan nodded inwardly, agreeing with the perverse fat man. With his indecent wandering hand, if the Dean position of Long Yan Academy was really given to him, she couldn’t say if it would ruin the academy, but one thing was sure, no female disciple would dare enter the academy.

"My dear disciple, come let your master see if you’re hurt." Feng Qingyu disregarded Nangong Jingyuan, quickly approaching Mu Hanyan.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I haven’t taken you as a master yet." Seeing his smiling or rather leering expression, Mu Hanyan felt her spine tingle, quickly retreating two steps, adopting a defensive stance.

"What, you still refuse to become my disciple? Didn’t you hear Old Man Nangong say, back then even the Dean position was given up for me. If I said the word, countless would fight to be my disciple, yet you refuse? Moreover, if not for my timely aid earlier, you wouldn’t have escaped a calamity today..." Feng Qingyu grew anxious, spouting on.

"It seems you weren’t much help, in the end, wasn’t it my own doing?" Mu Hanyan muttered softly.

Feng Qingyu choked up. Although they had timely rescued Mu Hanyan earlier, subsequently, after Jiang Yunhe and others summoned Netherworld Prison Lords with the Blood Sacrifice Technique, along with the powerful Divine Beast, they were powerless. Mu Hanyan had to rely on herself, causing the Divine Beast to turn and attack, ultimately forcing Jiang Yunhe and others to retreat. (They also realized Jiang Yunhe’s so-called powerful Netherworld Beast wasn’t a Netherworld Beast, but a type of Divine Beast already vanished from the Holy Court Continent.)

In this regard, Mu Hanyan mainly relied on herself to escape the calamity, with Feng Qingyu’s contributions not being too significant.
