Hu Jiao'er looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say after being caught in the childish act of impersonating her younger sister, as she had not expected to be caught by Su Mu the moment she appeared.

'She really is Little Sister Jiao'er.' Su Yan could only tell the difference between Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er by checking their cultivation using her Divine Sense, but that was only a temporary measure, as it was only a matter of time before their cultivation reach a similar level.

"You broke through the 7th Stage of the True Element Realm?" Su Mu asked, pleasantly surprised after noticing Hu Jiao'er's cultivation.

"Ah, yes." Hu Jiao'er replied, getting up from Su Mu's stomach, hiding her embarrassment while extending her hand to him.

Grabbing her arm, Su Mu got up from the ground, but before he could say anything, he heard another voice coming from the wooden house.

"Big Sis, I told you that he'd instantly recognize you, right?" Hu Mei'er, who had been watching this scene from inside the house, finally walked out of the wooden house, enjoying her elder sister's embarrassment.

"You agreed to it to purposefully embarrass Jiao'er, didn't you?" Su Mu commented, looking at Hu Mei'er, who just giggled in response, moving forward to hug Su Mu.

"... I missed you." Hu Mei'er muttered so quietly that no one except Su Mu was able to hear her, and he smiled slightly, patting the back of her head.

After hugging Su Mu for a good minute, Hu Mei'er let go, looking at him with a smile. "Welcome back, Su Mu."

"How have you been, Mei'er?" Su Mu asked, making Hu Mei'er smile, and soon, she started releasing her cultivation in full force.

"4th Stage of the True Element Realm. You've worked hard, Mei'er." Su Mu commented, knowing that she has been making sure to consolidate her foundation despite the rapid increase in cultivation.

The Siblings Divine Art was helping Hu Mei'er catch up to Hu Jiao'er at a rapid pace, and it was a given that her increase in cultivation would be far beyond the others, but being able to keep up with this pace was the result of Hu Mei'er's diligence and hard work.

"Yes." Hu Mei'er gave Su Mu a sweet smile, retreating the pressure she was releasing.

When Su Mu previously left, she was only at the 9th Stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, being the weakest among his women, but now, after cultivating with all her heart, she was starting to catch up with her sisters, something she was proud of.

Following Hu Mei'er, the ones who came out of the wooden house were Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang, and they greeted Su Mu while bowing towards him.

"Welcome back, Master!"

"Your cultivation has improved a lot, that's good." Su Mu commented.

Lan Chu Die was in the 7th Stage of the Separation and Reunion Realm, while Du Yi Shuang was in the 6th Stage of the Separation and Reunion Realm.

From the looks of it, they haven't been slacking off during the past few months.

"It's all thanks to you, Master." Du Yi Shuang and Lan Chu Die raised their heads, and the latter continued. "Your room has already been prepared, Master."

"I see. Then, why don't we all sit inside?"

"That sounds wonderful."

Grabbing Su Mu's hand, Hu Mei'er charged towards his room, not even waiting for anyone else to react.

For the following hours, Su Mu asked about what had happened during his absence, while also telling them about his experiences within the Sea City, along with what happened during the hidden island, only leaving out the details regarding the Soul Warming Lotus and Demon Mystic Tome.

---

"And after that, I left the Sea City, heading back to the High Heaven Pavilion." Su Mu finished narrating his experiences at the Endless Seas, sitting cross-legged on the bed while his hand played with Hu Mei'er's hair, who was resting her head on his lap, acting like a spoiled child.

"Sea City sounds like a beautiful place." Hu Mei'er said, feeling like her body was melting as Su Mu caressed her head.

"Yes." Ling Tai Xu nodded, and the Hu Sisters raised their heads.

"Greetings, Sect Master, Old Man Meng." Su Mu greeted the two old men with a smile.

"I see that you've reached the 1st Stage of True Element Realm." Ling Tai Xu commented, and Su Mu nodded.

"Indeed, I have."

"Then, are the three of you aware of what kind of place I plan on taking you?"

"Somewhat."

"Let me ask you this, are you willing to kill other people?"

"I am." Su Mu nodded without any thought, and Ling Tai Xu turned towards the Hu Sisters.

"I am, as well." Hu Jiao'er also nodded, followed by Hu Mei'er, who looked a bit reluctant, but still nodded.

After a second, Ling Tai Xu asked, still looking at the Hu Sisters. "What kind of people should you kill?"

Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er pondered for a few seconds before replying.

"Those who try to threaten people close to me, like my friends and family, or those who wish to plot against me, along with people who stand in Su Mu's way. As for the innocents, I will never lay a finger on them." Hu Jiao'er was the first one to reply, and Ling Tai Xu nodded, turning towards Hu Mei'er.

"I have similar views to Big Sis, and even though I don't wish to kill people without any reason, but if someone deserved death for their actions, I won't hesitate to kill them, especially if they are inherently evil." Hu Mei'er replied.

"I see." Ling Tai Xu nodded again, turning towards Su Mu. "What about you, Young Man?"

"I'll kill whoever I wish to." Su Mu replied with a smile, surprising Ling Tai Xu a little.

"So you will senselessly slaughter people?"

"That's not what I meant." Su Mu shook his head. "I don't need a reason to kill someone beyond I wanted to do it, but that doesn't mean I'll slaughter people without any thought. If I wish to kill someone, they die. That's all."

Ling Tai Xu was about to say something, but Su Mu continued.

"To do whatever I please, regardless of the consequences..."

"That is the purpose of my strength, the reason why I strive to reach the Peak of Martial Dao."

"... I see." Ling Tai Xu was surprised by Su Mu's claim, as he doubted something like that could come out of the mouth of a True Element Realm cultivator, but it made sense since he was the inheritor of the final inheritance within the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. "If that's the case, I'll take the three of you to a certain place after a week, so in the meantime, make your preparations. As for the details, you will get them before we arrive at that place."

"Is that so?"

A/N-

Sorry for not uploading though, got a bit too invested in my Black Clover fic (have yet to be uploaded) and spammed several chapters of it.

Gonna end the secret land arc within a few (10 maybe) chapters (took around 50+ in the novel).

The question is Zi Mo and Leng Shan (the insect girl from Tian Dynasty and the evil sect girl from the Ash Grey Cloud Evil Land).

Servants or not?
