Ku Mu’s Romance

The five seeking treatment strolled out of the bamboo forest. Having heard what Mu Yu’s price was, all of them awkwardly looked at him. They brought Cai Lie along, hoping he could help them out since he and Mu Yu were on friendly terms. Instead, Cai Lie jogged over and thumped Mu Yu’s shoulder jovially. “Mu Yu, ruthless, I like it.”

“I forgot about you. Whatever, buy five get one free. I’ll extract your residue for free,” enthused Mu Yu, giving his buddy a hug.

Yao Wuji couldn’t hold back his joy for his wise decision. Daoist Yun Dan wished he had a disciple on talking terms with Mu Yu. As Elder Leng worried, Mu Yu’s price was extremely steep even for them. Still, life was priceless. Yao Wuji’s ascension to Spirit Severing Realm thanks to Mu Yu’s intervention was also a convincing testimony.

“We meet again, Young Mu Yu,” greeted Daoist Yun Dan, casual as he was last time.

Mu Yu reciprocated the greeting with a polite nod. Then, he announced, “Okay, pay Gramps, and then come on over.

Daoist Yun Dan exhaled heavily then manifested a pile of herbs for Ku Mu. “Brother Ku Mu, you have a keen eye for disciples!”New n0vel chapters are published on

Ku Mu didn’t stand on ceremony or blindly take the pills. He made sure to count what he was paid. “Senior Brother, you gave me an extra five rank seven pills and ten rank six pills.”

“That’s my way of expressing my apology. I was forced to lock you up. For that, I am sorry. I beg your forgiveness.”

In reality, the generous extras were Daoist Yun Dan’s investment in Mu Yu. Daoist Yuan Hua and Yuan Cheng also gifted extra rank six pills for the same reason.

“As I am only a level six alchemist, would you be able to put the rank seven pills on my tab? I can give you all of my rank six pills, instead,” inquired Yao Wuji.

“You’ll have to ask Gramps. He’s calling the shots.”

Elder Leng didn’t spare a moment cutting his green and oily arm, releasing all of the wood residue out. He had two big fists’ worth of wood residue. Ku Mu threw out the wood residue, remarking, “I’m surprised you aren’t already dead.”

Daoist Yun Dan: The ailment all of us suffer for our entire lifetime took only a moment for Mu Yu to clear out?!

“Th-th-thank you... Thank you so much,” Elder Leng expressed, excited to the point that he stuttered.

Experience and training aside, a major reason alchemists couldn’t compare to others of the same cultivation in combat was due to the wood residue. The more wood residue collected in their bodies, the more mobility they lost. As a result, reaction times suffered.

“You don’t pay with thank yous.” Mu Yu booted Elder Leng out of the way to everyone’s shock.

“Mu Yu, Ku Mu and Xue’er are together now. Ku Mu is your shifu and pretty much your father. I, essentially, am Ku Mu’s father. Therefore, in terms of seniority, I am your grand-“

“Are you saying you’re worthy of being Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s father?” rhetorically asked Mu Yu, aware the elder was trying to play the family card for a discount.

The cat caught Elder Leng’s tongue. “... Hehe, no, no, pretend I ever said anything.”

“You better pay in full. If I find one pill missing, I’m shoving all that back inside you,” threatened Mu Yu, in an authoritative tone. He turned back to the others and called, “Next!”

Daoist Yun Dan shook his head with a helpless smile. He went over to Mu Yu and decided to be courteous with the young man who had the potential to become a level seven alchemist.

Cai Lie was the easiest to deal with as he had the least wood residue. It took Mu Yu no time to finish extracting wood residue for them all. As for their question pertaining to his methodology, he couldn’t be bothered explaining. He didn’t need to worry because he could just chalk it up to being a skill Sword Shadow Dust Gale taught. Nobody was going to doubt Sword Shadow Dust Gale.

Mu Yu dimpled innocently. “I’m an honest businessman. If you need help again, I’ll help you for half price.”

All listeners shivered.
