Fox Spirit, Stay Away from Xu Muyuan

“What are you laughing at? Have you ever touched one?”

Fu Jinyu asked indifferently.

“I’ve never touched one, but I’ve eaten one.”

Nalan Shisan suddenly winked suggestively at Fu Jinyu.

“Holy crap!”

Xu Mu was so shocked that he nearly jumped.

Nalan Shisan had never actually done anything like that. Back then, she had merely used the Water Fusion Technique.

But an evil thought suddenly crossed Xu Mu’s mind. If he simply played along, would Fu Jinyu’s personality make her fall for the provocation?

However, the moment the thought appeared, Xu Mu crushed it.

He was a proper man. If he pursued things seriously, perhaps he might really have a chance in the future.

How could he resort to such despicable methods?

“Xu Mu! She really…”

“No!”

Xu Mu cut her off righteously, his expression extremely solemn. “Sister Empress, I’d rather let you eat me than let her eat me.”

[Affection +10]

“I’ll eat your grandmother!”

Fu Jinyu’s expression turned icy, but she still felt quite pleased inside. “I advise you not to do anything that disgusts me. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!”

“What consequences? Are you actually going to break the divine artifact? Then no one will be able to use it in the future.”

Nalan Shisan smiled faintly.

But afterward, she shifted her gaze to Xu Mu. She had deliberately said that just now to see whether Fu Jinyu would take the bait.

She had not expected Xu Mu to explain things for her voluntarily. This man really was a good person.

[Affection +10]

“Nalan Shisan, I’m going to break you first today!”

Fu Jinyu clenched her fists and erupted with power.

“All right, this place is too small for a fight. Don’t destroy it.”

Xu Mu stepped between the two of them. “Let’s focus on resolving your problem first.”

Only then did Fu Jinyu withdraw her power. She once again slipped both hands into the pockets of her jacket. “How are we going to get there?”

“I know how to reach Qingqiu. Beiming is to the north of Qingqiu.”

Xu Mu glanced at Nalan Shisan. “Do you know the exact location?”

“I do. Your route is indeed the shortest. The address they provided is on the Flood Dragon Clan’s territory.”

Nalan Shisan explained, “The Beiming Continent is enormous, but there aren’t any public areas left. It’s just like Earth here. Apart from Antarctica, every continent has been divided up.”

Xu Mu nodded slightly. “That’s good. We can visit the Sacred Battlefield while we’re there and check on my people.”

“The Sacred Battlefield?”

Nalan Shisan was somewhat surprised. “Your people have already gone to the Inner Realm?”

“That’s right. As their cultivation realms improve, only battles in the Inner Realm can help them continue advancing.”

Xu Mu stood up and walked outside. “Let’s go. We’ll set off now.”

The group emerged from the underground illusory formation, and Xu Mu took the two women into his car.

As soon as he drove out of the garage, he looked at Fu Jinyu. “Sister Empress, did you need to make any arrangements with your people?”

“Don’t worry. I made arrangements before coming. We prepared enough supplies to last several months, and Hongyu will continue guarding the place. If anything happens, she’ll activate the formation you engraved.”

Fu Jinyu folded her arms and spoke softly.

Xu Mu nodded, then drove toward Wei Jingzhi’s estate. “I managed to get another excellent pill furnace recently. Even after you break through the World-Breaking Realm, I’ll still be able to use pills to improve your strength.”

[Affection +10]

[Affection +10]

“No matter how good the pill furnace is, it’s useless without rare treasures and spiritual materials.”

Fu Jinyu turned to Xu Mu. “Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll explore more ruins and look for more rare treasures and spiritual materials for you.”

Xu Mu smiled and nodded.

When they arrived at Wei Jingzhi’s home, they discovered that he was exercising in the morning.

He was not practicing the tai chi usually favored by the elderly. Instead, he was doing push-ups on the ground.

When Wei Jingzhi saw Xu Mu approaching, he greeted him with a smile. “Going over again?”

“That’s right. But this time, I’m bringing two people.”

Xu Mu pointed to the two women beside him. “They’re both members of foreign races. I hope you don’t mind, Senior?”

“Of course I don’t. But if they reveal this place to anyone, you’ll bear the responsibility.”

Wei Jingzhi picked up a towel from the side and wiped the sweat from his face.

“All right. I agree.”

Xu Mu naturally understood how important this location was.

If the foreign races of the Inner Realm learned about it, the entire city of Jiang would become unsafe.

“Then let’s go.”

Wei Jingzhi draped the towel around his neck and walked toward the interior of the estate. “As usual, I’ll appear here at noon sharp every day. If you aren’t here, I’ll leave.”

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

Wei Jingzhi then retrieved the Boundary Flame from his bedroom and led them to the small ruins at the back.

Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan were both drawn to the sea in the distance.

It looked like a fish tank embedded in space—beautiful and fascinating.

After Wei Jingzhi placed the Boundary Flame on it, Xu Mu led the two women into the seawater.

Once again, they arrived in the Inner Realm. Xu Mu was already familiar with the route. He grabbed both women by the arms and used the Cloudstep Technique to head in a certain direction.

In a short while, the three of them arrived at the shore together.

“I never would have thought that this intersection was hidden in the seawater. No wonder I never noticed it.”

Nalan Shisan spoke softly.

Xu Mu glanced at Nalan Shisan. She was wearing a dress, and after being soaked by the seawater, the fabric clung tightly to her body, revealing every curve.

The enormous swell of her chest and the contours of her hips were clearly visible.

Beside them, Fu Jinyu released her power and evaporated the moisture from her clothes.

“Xu Mu, what are you looking at?”

Following Xu Mu’s gaze, Fu Jinyu noticed Nalan Shisan.

In particular, she saw how that shameless woman was pretending to be extremely ladylike, wringing water from the corner of her skirt little by little.

“Damn you!”

Fu Jinyu kicked Nalan Shisan in the stomach.

But Nalan Shisan quickly retreated beyond the rocky island and hovered above the surface of the sea.

“What are you doing? Xu Mu, she hit me!”

Nalan Shisan flew back to Xu Mu’s side and put on a pitiful expression.

“Sister Empress, you’re the one in the wrong here. Why did you hit her for no reason?”

Xu Mu scolded Fu Jinyu.

“Believe it or not, I’ll hit you too!”

Fu Jinyu pointed at Xu Mu’s nose, then glared at Nalan Shisan. “You fox spirit, stay away from Xu Mu!”

“I refuse! I’m not even touching you.”

Nalan Shisan replied coolly.

“All right, put on some disguises. We’ll set out soon.”

Xu Mu took black robes from his spatial ring and pulled one over himself.

Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan also took out black robes and put them on. The group then hurried toward the Sacred Battlefield on the Qingqiu Continent.

…

They traveled much faster this time. After all, Xu Mu had two people with him who could fly.

They barely stopped at all along the way.

At last, they arrived at the Sacred Battlefield once more.

Nalan Shisan had visited the Sacred Battlefield several times before and was familiar with the architectural style there.

This was Fu Jinyu’s first time seeing it. She was especially struck by the primitive stone houses they passed along the way. The buildings here, however, looked almost like a park in the outside world. They seemed completely out of place in this world.

Xu Mu led the two women into the building and, relying on his memory, arrived at the place where the three of them had stayed before.

However, after sensing the surroundings, he discovered that Meng Wanyue and the others were nowhere to be found.

Thus, Xu Mu headed to the battlefield first, making his way to the arena designated for Grandmasters.

In the distance, a crowd was shoving and jostling around the betting station outside, on the verge of breaking into a fight.

“Damn it! Those of you who’ve already placed your bets, move! I haven’t placed mine yet! My Wanyue’s about to start competing!”

“Wanyue! You’re blocking my view of Wanyue!”
