Missing in action, presumed dead.

Let's tell the stories of two different characters separately.

On one hand, Ye Shu was enduring the inhumane torture of the extreme heat and cold in the inn. On the other hand, his divine incarnation, Mo Shisan, was accompanying Mo Yu in searching for the whereabouts of the Old Dragon King's daughter in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Master Mo, can we really get the support of the beast tribe?"

On the bustling street, Mo Shisan followed behind Mo Yu and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry," Mo Yu smiled faintly.

"As long as we find the daughter of the Old Dragon King, the beasts in this city will surely bow down and elect her as the leader of the beast tribe.

"As long as we establish a good relationship with her, everything will be easy to handle."

"Master Mo is really wise," Mo Shisan quickly flattered and then asked, "But Master Mo, the daughter of the Old Dragon King is a stranger to us. Why would she cooperate with us?"

"So what if she's a stranger?" Mo Yu kept walking and said indifferently, "Remember, in this world, everyone is driven by profit. As long as a being has intelligence, they must have preferences and desires. All we need to do is to cater to their likes."

Hearing this, Mo Shisan nodded vigorously like a pounding garlic.

"Master Mo is absolutely right. I'm really fortunate to come out with Master Mo. Just listening to your teachings has already benefited me a lot."

Mo Yu was extremely satisfied with such flattery.

He straightened his back and said in an old - fashioned way, "Follow me and learn carefully. There's still a lot for you to learn in the future!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

One was willing to act high - and - mighty, and the other was willing to flatter. They were quite in sync.

Beasts came and went on the bustling street.

The two of them walked one in front of the other and soon stopped in a secluded alley.

"Master Mo, is she in there?" Mo Shisan pointed at the half - open wooden door at the end of the alley and asked in disbelief.

"That's right," Mo Yu nodded.

"People only know that there's an Old Dragon King in the beast tribe. They don't know when he got married, when he had a child, or that he has a daughter. Naturally, they don't know that he and his daughter once lived in this kind of backstreet alley."

"Master Mo is so knowledgeable. I'm really ashamed," Mo Shisan said with admiration on his face.

"Let's go and meet this little princess," Mo Yu didn't respond. Maintaining his air of a superior being, he strode towards the end of the alley.

He pushed open the door, and there was a medium - sized courtyard inside.

The stone tables and chairs in the courtyard were covered with moss, which obviously meant that the owner of the courtyard had been away for a long time and no one had lived there for ages.

The two of them walked across the small courtyard and headed towards the house door.

"Who is it?"

As soon as they pushed open the door, a vigilant female voice came from the dark little room. A pair of pale - golden vertical pupils stared coldly at them in the darkness.

"Don't be alarmed, miss. I just heard that there's a descendant of the dragon king here and came to pay a visit. I have no ill intentions," Mo Yu stopped and bowed slightly.

"It's you?"

Inside the small room, Ao Xue was standing behind a wooden table, holding a rag and wiping the tabletop.

When she saw Mo Yu at the door, her movement paused slightly.

Her pair of pale - golden dragon eyes squinted slightly as she stared at him warily.

How did this guy know she was here?

"I just want to discuss a cooperation with you," Mo Yu smiled. "I know that Miss Ao Xue came here to be elected as the leader of the beast tribe, revitalize the beast tribe, and restore the glory of the era of the Old Dragon King.

"My Mo family can cooperate with the beast tribe and form an alliance."

Ao Xue's eyes flickered.

A hermit family and a remaining descendant of the dragon tribe did sound like a good match.

The beast tribe did need an ally.

Ao Xue said indifferently, "So, what's the price?"

"The price is very simple," Mo Yu smiled. "Just need the miss to help me deal with a person."

"Who?"

"Ye Shu."

As soon as these words were said, a look of understanding flashed in Ao Xue's eyes.

Sure enough.

It was no different from what she remembered. This guy still didn't get along with that bastard.

She also really wanted to find trouble with that bastard.

Logically speaking, the enemy of one's enemy is a friend.

"However, I refuse," Ao Xue stared at Mo Yu and said coldly. "I'll deal with that guy myself, but cooperation with you is out of the question."

"Wh - what?" Mo Yu was stunned, and his smile froze on his face.

Even the system was a bit confused.

This wasn't right. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Shouldn't she embrace the villain after seeing through the hero's false face?

What was this "refused" all about?

The script wasn't written like this at all!

"Humph!"

Looking at Mo Yu's stunned expression, Ao Xue snorted disdainfully.

Even though that bastard wasn't a good person.

This Mo Yu was also a brute. He was even worse than that guy, being lecherous and greedy. Did he still want to cooperate with her? Get out of here!

"Master Mo, if there's nothing else, please leave," Ao Xue said coldly.

She had just returned to her hometown and was enjoying the pleasure of being home, but was disturbed by this trash. It was already a sign of good self - restraint that she didn't start hitting people.

"This..."

Mo Yu glanced at Mo Shisan behind him, looking embarrassed.

He had just boasted, and now going back defeated would be so embarrassing.

"Miss Ao Xue, don't be in a hurry. Look what this is?"

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance.

Mo Yu suddenly stepped forward two steps, walked to the table opposite Ao Xue, stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of the table, spreading his five fingers. There were three milky - white pills inside, emitting a faint and refreshing fragrance.

"This is!"

Ao Xue's dragon eyes widened in shock, and her gaze was fixed firmly on the pills.

Seeing her strong reaction, Mo Yu couldn't help but let out a proud snort.

It was really worth asking the alchemists in the clan to refine these overnight.

In the original story, every time Ao Xue was in a bad mood and didn't want to help the hero, the hero would take out these things to coax her, and Ao Xue would happily do things for him. After all, a child's mind was only so big. They were naturally fond of sweets, just like a pet.

Even though the hero wasn't here at the moment.

And Ao Xue had never taken this kind of pill.

But as long as she was still the same person, her preferences wouldn't change. Mo Yu held the three pills and said calmly, "As long as Miss Ao Xue cooperates with me, I guarantee that the alchemists of the Mo family can supply the dragon king with these pills unlimitedly."

As Mo Yu said, he even pushed the pills forward a little.

Looking at the three milky - white pills, Ao Xue's mind was immediately filled with the painful memories of those days when she was treated like a dog by the jailer.

Extreme anger made her shoulders tremble slightly.

Her golden dragon eyes suddenly shrank to two thin needles at this moment. Mo Yu thought she was finally persuaded and was about to pat her on the shoulder.

But just as his hand was stretched out and still in mid - air.

He saw Ao Xue suddenly raise her head, with a glint of light in her eyes. A thick dragon tail suddenly appeared behind her.

"This is the Battle Dragon Body?!"

Mo Yu's pupils shrank, and he immediately felt something was wrong. This was a sign that Ao Xue was going all out in a fight.

But it was already too late.

Whoosh!

Her right hand shot out like lightning and then suddenly whipped.

Slap!

Several bright red marks instantly appeared on Mo Yu's face. He spun three and a half times in the air and slammed into the wall, with one hand behind his back. His life or death was unknown.
