“I don’t know what I can do, but I can learn.”
Clearly, Ying Weiyang didn’t understand the real meaning behind Xu Mu’s words.
“You may not have understood me. I bought you just now, so that makes you my servant, right?”
“That’s right.”
Ying Weiyang nodded.
“So if I tell you to do something, you have to do it, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then if I tell you to have a child for me, you should be able to do that too, right?”
Xu Mu asked.
“Sure! That’s only natural. How do I have a child?”
Ying Weiyang asked calmly.
“What the hell?”
Xu Mu stared intently into Ying Weiyang’s eyes and saw nothing but genuine curiosity. She wasn’t pretending.
“When did your memories begin?”
Xu Mu asked curiously.
“I don’t remember the exact time. Anyway, when I woke up, I was captured by a group of people.”
Ying Weiyang frowned. “Then, I don’t know what happened, but I passed out again. When I woke up, everyone who had captured me was dead.”
“Did anything happen in between?”
Xu Mu asked.
“I can’t remember. It seems someone tried to take off my clothes, and when I refused, he hit me. After that, I don’t remember anything.”
Ying Weiyang slapped her forehead. “How strange. I always feel like I had a lot of memories before, but I just can’t recall them.”
Xu Mu was secretly startled. Could there be some other secret hidden within this woman?
Those people had most likely been killed by her.
“What happened after that?”
Xu Mu continued asking.
“After that, I wandered alone through the mountains and forests, but I was captured again. They made me a maid and told me to take care of a young lady. But I didn’t know how to take care of anyone! I told them I could learn, but that young lady still beat and cursed at me.”
Ying Weiyang shrugged. “So I snuck away, but they caught me again in the end and sold me.”
“Listening to your story, I’m starting to feel like you’re completely useless.”
Xu Mu glanced at her. “If you’re going to follow me, you have to do something for me. You eat so much and don’t do anything. Didn’t I just buy myself a freeloader?”
“I can learn! Just give me time, and I’ll definitely master it.”
Ying Weiyang looked utterly serious.
“Then give me a shoulder massage first.”
Xu Mu stopped and found a stone by the roadside to sit on.
“You’d better pick another skill. I’ve tried this before, and I’m no good at it.”
“What do you mean, you’re no good at it? If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine. Come on.”
Xu Mu patted his shoulder. “My shoulders have been a little sore these past few days.”
“Okay, I’m starting. But you can’t get angry.”
Ying Weiyang went behind Xu Mu, placed both hands on his shoulders, and began applying gentle pressure.
“Did you skip dinner? What’s with that strength? There’s no difference between that and simply touching me! I told you to knead them!”
Xu Mu turned his head and said.
“Oh, okay!”
Ying Weiyang immediately increased her strength.
“Hiss! Damn!”
Xu Mu sucked in a sharp breath and sprang to his feet. He rolled his shoulders, which now felt both sore and painful.
Xu Mu’s physique was incredibly powerful by now. Even if someone at the first level of the World-Breaking Realm struck him with all their strength, it shouldn’t have hurt this much.
And she was only a young girl.
“Are you all right?”
Ying Weiyang’s face was full of concern. “I told you I can’t do this. A previous buyer purchased me and asked me to massage his legs. He even warned me beforehand that he was strong. I used only a little force, but I crushed his calf.”
“What the hell! He didn’t kill you?”
Xu Mu sucked in another breath.
Ying Weiyang shook her head. “He beat me up, but it didn’t do anything. After that, he just stopped letting me eat. I hate being hungry the most.”
Xu Mu used the God’s Eye again to check Ying Weiyang’s detailed information.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Realm: Early Transcendent Stage
Physique: 3,120
Spirit: 857
Xu Mu had only just entered the mid-level Transcendent Stage, yet his physique was merely a little over 3,500.
How old was this girl? Her physique was already over 3,100.
Compared to her powerful physique, her mental strength was far inferior.
Could this be the overwhelming status panel of the dragon race?
No wonder she had crushed that man’s bones so easily. Thankfully, she had kneaded his leg instead of pulling it—otherwise, she might have ripped the whole thing off.
Xu Mu patted his shoulder again. “Your strength is pretty good. Keep going.”
“Okay. I’ll try to be gentler.”
Ying Weiyang stood behind Xu Mu once more and began kneading his shoulders.
“Damn! That’s intense!”
Xu Mu sucked in breath after breath from the pain. He had to admit that he hadn’t felt anything like this in a long time.
As his physique had grown stronger, very few people could use external force to make his muscles feel sore and swollen.
Joy appeared on Ying Weiyang’s face as well. She hadn’t expected Xu Mu to withstand her strength. At last, she had found something she was useful for.
[Favorability +6]
“All right, that’s enough!”
Xu Mu told Ying Weiyang to stop. He gently swung his arms and found that his shoulders actually felt pretty good.
“Actually, with strength like yours, you’d be more suited for combat.”
Ying Weiyang was still only at the Transcendent Realm, so she wouldn’t compete with Meng Wanyue or Dai Xingluo.
That was why he had sent Lin Yang to another Holy War Arena. Lin Yang was currently at the Grandmaster Realm as well, and would end up competing with Wanyue and Xingluo.
If the three of them took the top three spots, the spirit stones they obtained would be far fewer than what Lin Yang could get by taking first place somewhere else, while Meng Wanyue took first place here.
“I don’t know how to fight, but I can learn.”
Ying Weiyang looked at Xu Mu.
“Good. I’ll teach you.”
Xu Mu took out his phone and checked the map. He was heading in the right direction.
At their current pace, they would reach their destination in an hour.
After crossing several mountain peaks, the two finally saw the territory of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
The architecture here was different from the stone buildings of the Flood Dragon Clan.
The dense forest at the foot of the mountain was filled with wooden houses.
Xu Mu and Ying Weiyang headed down the mountain together.
Unlike the other Holy War Arenas, this place still operated like a bustling marketplace.
Besides members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, there were many other races here as well.
What surprised Xu Mu was that, after observing the area for some time, he found no establishments like brothels.
There were, however, plenty of service-oriented shops, such as ear-cleaning parlors and massage shops.
Xu Mu kept his perception active. Suddenly, he spotted a potential candidate.
He grabbed Ying Weiyang and led her into a wooden house.
The shop sold all kinds of armor: metal mesh, solid iron plating, leather, and more.
But there were no customers inside.
A middle-aged man with an unkempt beard sat behind the counter, reading a book.
When he saw Xu Mu enter, he immediately set the book down.
“Welcome.”
Xu Mu placed two fist-sized spirit stones on the counter. Then he took out his phone, found a photograph, and pushed it toward the man.
“I want to ask you about this woman. Don’t worry—the spirit stones won’t be a problem.”
Xu Mu smiled as he sat down across from the counter.
The middle-aged man glanced at the photograph, then smiled. “You’re giving me too much credit. There are so many members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. How could I possibly know them all?”
“A World-Breaking expert just left your shop. She’s clearly an important figure among the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. You must know her.”
Xu Mu didn’t believe the woman was an ordinary member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
“Heh. That’ll cost extra.”
The middle-aged man raised two fingers. “Two hundred jin.”
“You’re really asking for the moon. I’m only worth a few hundred jin, yet you dare demand that much for a single piece of information?”
Ying Weiyang immediately bristled when she heard that.
“You want to marry this widow too, don’t you? I happen to know what she likes. I guarantee I can help you stand out among all her other suitors.”
The middle-aged man chuckled.
“What? A widow?”
Xu Mu frowned.
