“Would the senior please spare this junior’s life?”
This time, Xu Mu deeply felt the disparity in strength between them, they were in completely different leagues.
Indeed, he must have seven generations of bad luck to have provoked such a monster!
“You have quite the quick reaction! Spare you? Heh heh!”
“Lan Shijin” let out a derisive laugh, his face morphing like melting rubber, gradually becoming distorted.
This made Xu Mu realize once again that the other party was not a human.
“You killed my beloved pet, and you disregarded me in broad daylight! Now you actually want me to spare you! Heh heh!”
“Do you think I’m some merciful deity from a temple?”
The voice “Lan Shijin” made was like broken glass. It was unbearable to hear.
“Pet? Disregard?”
Xu Mu suddenly understood; it must be related to what happened with Leng Yue Ning.
“Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn’t know this was your territory. If I had known, I would never have acted so recklessly!”
Xu Mu expressed sincere regret.
“So, because you say it’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding! If you don’t please me today, don’t even think about leaving here alive!”
The next moment, two ice-cold delicate hands touched his skin, making Xu Mu’s hair stand on end.
“What’s going on?”
“Lan Shijin”, who had been bustling about for some time, couldn’t help but send a chill down his spine. His eyes turned into vertical golden pupils, looking more terrifying.
“You were very happy yesterday, weren’t you? What’s wrong with today?”
As “Lan Shijin” opened his mouth, his features became increasingly twisted, his teeth sharpening like a saw of shark teeth, as if he would bite off Xu Mu’s head if he gave an unsatisfactory answer.
Xu Mu was speechless.
Yesterday, I didn’t know your true identity, of course I was happy!
But I know it today!
I wouldn’t dare to, even if you lent me a gallbladder!
Indeed, bad things do happen when in remote and desolate places. The ancients didn’t fool me!
“Senior, maybe, maybe you could change your appearance?” Xu Mu suggested with a grin.
I just can’t bear your current appearance!
“Eh? I almost forgot!”
“Lan Shijin” had an epiphany and slowly returned to normal, revealing a horrifying smile.
After all, the human couldn’t understand the beauty of their race.
“Tell me, what kind of appearance do you like?”
Said “Lan Shijin.”
“Ahem! Senior, maybe…!”
This might ease my guilt a bit.
Xu Mu comforted himself.
“Oh! Is that so? But I feel as though you quite like this appearance.”
“Lan Shijin” chuckled.
Stop your nonsense! I don’t!
Keep this up and I’ll sue you for defamation!
“However, it does seem a bit boring always looking like this!”
While “Lan Shijin” laughed lightly, his features quickly distorted and morphed into the look of “Leng Yue Ning”, even imitating her cold demeanor perfectly.
“Boy, you’re not being honest!”
“Lan Shijin”, perceiving the change in his palm, chuckled.
I didn’t, I really didn’t!
“You humans are truly hypocritical! Heh Heh!”
While speaking, the woman transformed into another person.
This supernatural transformation, left Xu Mu speechless with shock.
It’s too terrifying!
“You’re becoming more and more useless! Hmph!”
The mysterious woman coldly huffed and successively morphed into Su Qing, Chi Feiyan, and Li Moqing.
She seemed to have some ability to see the images deep inside Xu Mu’s heart.
Such a bizarre ability was hard to control, even if Xu Mu knew she was not human.
Senior!” Xu Mu lamented.
At this point, he really experienced what it meant for the one in his heart to be the one in front of him!
Time flew by in an instant.
Before Lan Shijin took his shift, the woman quietly left.
It seemed like she didn’t want her existence to be known by the others.
“Friend Xu, are you alright?”
Seeing the weak Xu Mu, Lan Shijin looked puzzled. This was the first time he saw Xu Mu in such a miserable state.
Xu Mu, who didn’t have the strength to speak, simply shook his head and went to rest.
Time flew by in a flash!
A month later!
When they were about to leave the mountain, the mysterious woman disappeared without even leaving her name.
“I worked so hard for so long and she didn’t even give me any compensation, how stingy!”
Xu Mu grumbled to himself.
In order to deal with her, he had increased the Luck Value that he gained over the past month, and used all of it on Yin and Yang Harmony, raising his proficiency level to mastery.
“Didn’t she get scared off by me?”
In the past, he was able to handle Ye Yingying and her companion in just a few moves at the skilled realm. Now that he had reached the mastery realm, it was even easier.
All he could say was that the person who created this martial method was too powerful!
Thanks to the woman’s protection, they didn’t even encounter a decent monster beast during the last month.
Xu Mu originally planned to hunt a few more tier three monster beasts, collect some resources, and earn some money in the Liyang Sect. However, his plan fell through.
The night came!
The cold and aloof Leng Yuening accompanied Xu Mu, admiring the stars in the night sky.
“Elder Brother Mu, where should we live when we get to the Liyang Sect?”
Leng Yuening’s voice was soft.
“Where do you want to go?”
Xu Mu’s eyes were full of fondness.
“Where you go, I’ll go!”
Leng Yuening’s face turned slightly red, like a celestial being tainted by the mortal world.
“Let’s go to Liyang City. It’s the home of the Liyang Sect, the safest and most bustling place.”
Actually, Xu Mu wanted to live in Tianhe City, the home base of the Tianhe Sect, where the Nascent Soul cultivators reside.
However, Tianhe City was too far away and filled with powerful cultivators, so he was not confident about bringing several people there. Therefore, he decided to spend some time adapting in Liyang City first. When his power was further improved, they could go to Tianhe City.
“Okay! I’ll listen to you!”
“Such a good girl!”
“Elder Brother Xu, about the matter between us…”
No rush!
While the two were whispering to each other, a slight cough came from behind them. It was Lan Shijin.
Leng Yuening’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly stood up and ran back.
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Lan Shijin couldn’t help but get annoyed. She wasn’t foolish. After this much time had passed, she had naturally noticed something strange.
Friend Lan!
Xu Mu greeted her with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all.
“Humph!”
Lan Shijin snorted coldly and sat down by the bonfire.
“Friend Lan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and rest first!”
Seeing Lan Shijin silent, Xu Mu stood up and walked back to his tent.
“If Ning’er is bullied in the future, I will never forgive you!”
A cold threat came from Lan Shijin from behind.
“Don’t worry, Friend Lan!”
Xu Mu responded without turning his head back.
With your power, how can you not forgive me?
In the tent.
Husband!
“What’s up?”
“You should go see Sister Leng tomorrow!”
“Did you already know?”
“Yes! Something smelled off!”
How could that be?
I clearly used a Purification Charm!
Uh oh! I almost forgot!
I think I ran out of Purification Charms a few days ago!
Also, I think the spot where Lan Shijin sat just now wasn’t cleaned!
“Ying Er, you’re not jealous, are you?”
“Of course not! I’m just worried that you’ll be uncomfortable!”
A sweet smile appeared on Ye Yingying’s fair face.
“Ying Er!”
Xu Mu looked at her with affection.
Where could he find a wife as considerate and submissive as her?
“Don’t worry! Nobody in the world can replace you!”
Um!
Several days later, the group arrived at the Cui Ling Marketplace.
This was the marketplace closest to the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, under the jurisdiction of the Liyang Sect..
