Chapter 225: They are all mine.

"You didn't die!" The Emperor exclaimed, rising from the dragon throne, his face taking on an exceedingly ghastly hue.

With a glance, Mu Houchu answered him, "The Emperor thought I was dead? As the saying goes, 'see the living for certain and the dead for sure', how could the Emperor simply believe someone else's word that I am dead, particularly when it's just coming from Old Man Chen? I remember, I have told you before, the most imperative thing one should not do in this court is to easily trust others. Have you not been disadvantaged too often in the past and learned better by now?"

The Emperor's visage turned even more terrible, he was just about to yell, "Guards!"

But Mu Houchu stopped him, "Don't you want to know how I escaped death? Aren't you curious, if I am really alive, what is my purpose here today?"

The Emperor paused for a moment. How could he not want to know?

"Why didn't you die?" Frustration boiling inside him, the Emperor asked in a cold voice.
