Where Did It Go Wrong

Xu Mu looked at the woman. She had shoulder-length hair and dark red eyeshadow, making her look like she was cosplaying.

Usually, though, people who dressed up like this would wear extremely heavy makeup.

But the woman before him appeared to be wearing no makeup at all. Her skin was incredibly pale—so pale that it could even be described as deathly white.

Using the Eye of God, Xu Mu checked the woman’s identity.

Name: Gedo Chizuru

Character: Chief of the Two-Faced Ghost Clan; heroine of Dragon King Descends

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 8 (Maximum: Level 10)

Xu Mu hadn’t expected Ye Chen’s harem to be so diverse. He even had a woman from the ghost clan.

But thinking about it carefully, Ye Chen had indeed visited the island nation in the earlier part of the story.

For example, Miyako Fuka had become one of Ye Chen’s women during that part of the plot.

Now that Xu Mu had appeared, causing the storyline to deviate, it was only natural that Ye Chen would gain a few more women.

“I’m talking to you! Can’t you understand me?”

Gedo Chizuru’s tone grew even more aggressive.

“I really can’t understand you. I’m from Dragon Country.”

Xu Mu answered in his own language.

“Then I’ll speak to you in the Dragon Country language. You… you can understand me! Otherwise, why would you say that you ‘really’ can’t understand me?”

Gedo Chizuru pointed at Xu Mu. If he truly didn’t understand her, how could he know what she had just asked?

“I’m curious. Why do all of you here speak the Dragon Country language so well?”

Xu Mu sat inside the cage and asked with a smile.

“I’m the one asking the questions!”

Gedo Chizuru’s expression darkened to an extreme degree. “Looks like you won’t cry until you see the coffin!”

“Don’t rush. I’ll tell you.”

Xu Mu smiled. “I was captured by the Tianyu Clan before. I discovered that Gedo Kazuya was also locked in a cage, so when I escaped, I happened to rescue him as well.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Gedo Chizuru pointed at Xu Mu and shouted coldly, “With your level of cultivation, you actually think you could rescue my father? Do you even know what level my father is at?”

“Looks like he still hasn’t come back. Could there be something else going on?”

Xu Mu stroked his chin thoughtfully. Waiting here forever clearly wasn’t an option.

“Stop pretending you don’t know anything! Someone, teach him a lesson!”

Gedo Chizuru shouted coldly.

An old man standing behind her took the initiative and walked toward the cage.

Suddenly, Xu Mu appeared in front of Gedo Chizuru, startling her.

She immediately retreated more than thirty feet, only then realizing that Xu Mu had somehow gotten out, while the old man beside her had ended up inside the cage.

“You’re courting death!”

Gedo Chizuru’s body underwent a transformation as well.

The skin covering her entire body turned even paler.

Two slender ghost horns appeared atop her head. They weren’t on either side of her skull, but above her eyebrows.

Her body became shrouded in black flames, which concealed most of her figure.

Most striking of all, she had grown a slender tail in this state.

The tip of the tail formed a long, narrow triangle, resembling a razor-sharp blade.

“Damn, that’s pretty interesting.”

Xu Mu smiled as he looked at the woman before him.

Pointed ears, deathly pale skin, horns on her head, a tail behind her, shoulder-length hair, and dark red eyeshadow…

She looked almost like a succubus.

Whoosh!

Gedo Chizuru lunged forward. Her black-wrapped palm suddenly expanded, and the five fingers transformed into black blades.

Seeing this, Xu Mu merely shifted to the side and easily dodged her attack.

Boom!

At the same time, his fist slammed into the woman’s waist.

Whoosh!

Gedo Chizuru was sent flying.

Xu Mu shook his fist. His opponent was only at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. It had been a long time since he’d fought such an easy battle.

“Clan Chief!”

The old man inside the cage immediately took out the key to the formation sealing the cage.

After opening it, his body transformed into a vicious ghost as well. His appearance was similar to that of the guards at the entrance.

His entire body turned red, his face became hideous, and his mouth was filled with sharp fangs.

From the looks of it, the female members of the Two-Faced Ghost Clan looked far better in their alternate forms than the males.

“Kill him!”

Gedo Chizuru roared and charged at Xu Mu again.

Xu Mu looked left and right, then casually dug at his ear as he watched the two menacing figures rush toward him.

Just as the old man was about to reach him, Xu Mu once again switched positions with Gedo Chizuru.

Boom!

The old man’s terrifying strength landed squarely on Gedo Chizuru.

At the peak of the Transcendent Realm, she was naturally no match for someone in the second stage of the World-Breaking Realm. She spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying once again.

“Clan Chief!”

The old man was frightened pale when he saw this and hurriedly rushed over.

Standing where he was, Xu Mu calmly asked, “Do you still want to keep fighting me?”

Gedo Chizuru wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared coldly at Xu Mu. “Kid! Don’t get cocky! Do you really think our clan only has one World-Breaking Realm expert?”

“Of course I know there are several, but I still came in.”

Xu Mu spread his hands. “Believe it or not, when your father comes back, you’ll still have to apologize to me.”

“Apologize? Who do you think you are? Even if I die, I’ll never apologize!”

As she spoke, Gedo Chizuru looked at the old man beside her. “Go outside and call the experts!”

“Yes!”

The old man turned and flew toward the cave entrance.

But when he had just reached the entrance, he saw another old man appear there.

“Yuichi, you came at just the right time…”

“The Old Clan Chief is back!”

The old man immediately interrupted him.

“What did you say?”

Gedo Chizuru, who was standing nearby, heard this as well. She immediately turned around and ran toward the entrance.

“It’s true! The Old Clan Chief is back!”

The newly arrived old man was full of excitement. “Clan Chief, hurry! The Old Clan Chief is eager to see you!”

Gedo Chizuru quickly ran outside, with the two old men following close behind.

Xu Mu let out a faint sigh. At least he hadn’t wasted too much time.

If Gedo Kazuya had failed to return after several days, there would have been no point in Xu Mu continuing to wait.

He didn’t follow them. Instead, he stayed where he was, took out his phone, and examined the ghost clan’s records.

The reason he had come alone was that after he rescued Gedo Kazuya, his filial piety value had risen to 2.

If it had been negative, he definitely wouldn’t have come. He might not even have rescued Gedo Kazuya.

Xu Mu found a place to sit and began looking through the information. He discovered that the ghost clan was different from the snow women.

Compared with them, the ghost clan didn’t have as many families or factions.

He had no idea what made their race so united.

While he was studying the records, he noticed two people entering through the distant cave entrance.

The one leading them was none other than Gedo Kazuya, with Gedo Chizuru following behind him. By then, she had already returned to her human form.

“Apologize to Mr. Xu.”

Gedo Kazuya came before Xu Mu and sternly ordered Gedo Chizuru to apologize.

“I…”

Gedo Chizuru lowered her head and pressed her lips tightly together. Only after a moment did she say quickly, “I’m sorry.”

“Is that how you apologize? Say it properly!”

Gedo Kazuya frowned slightly.

Gedo Chizuru looked at Xu Mu’s faintly mocking smile, and anger surged within her. In the end, however, she still bowed deeply.

“I’m sorry! I was wrong!”

“What were you wrong about?”

Xu Mu stood up and asked.

“You…”

Gedo Chizuru glared at Xu Mu.
