Lin Yang couldn't understand why Xu Mu was also here.
He went back to the front desk and asked with a smile, "Miss, is there a guest named Xu Mu staying here?"
"Sorry, we can't disclose customer information."
This woman hated guys like Lin Yang the most, so she replied calmly.
"He's my friend. I came here specifically to find him."
Lin Yang said with a smile.
If Xu Mu was also here, that would be great.
This brat had repeatedly ruined his good plans. If they were abroad, Lin Yang would have already sent him to hell.
However, if this guy was also in this ruins, it would be a huge blessing for Lin Yang.
Inside, he could finally kill without restraint.
...
Xu Mu had already headed to the other side of the mountain.
After passing through the nearby flowers and plants, he found that many plants here had been deliberately broken.
It seemed that he and Xu Ningbing had arrived late, and the good stuff had already been taken by others.
Just then, Xu Mu felt a tremor in the distance, as if some powerful experts were fighting.
Xu Mu immediately rushed in that direction. He opened his senses and observed the surroundings constantly.
Finally, he saw a woman running towards him.
It was Fan Shiyu, the woman he had met before.
Fan Shiyu rushed through the forest. When she saw Xu Mu, she immediately grabbed his arm and ran away into the distance.
After running nearly a kilometer, she stopped and leaned against a big tree to catch her breath.
"What happened?"
Xu Mu asked curiously beside her.
"There's a powerful expert! I couldn't beat him! He snatched my schoolbag."
Fan Shiyu tried to calm her breathing.
Xu Mu was secretly shocked. Fan Shiyu had already reached the Gang Qi realm, yet someone could still rob her.
It seemed that there were even more powerful experts in this ruins.
"Do you have any water? My throat feels like it's on fire."
Fan Shiyu looked at Xu Mu.
After entering the thick fog, she had noticed something was wrong.
The temperature around was extremely high. There were only two bottles of mineral water in her schoolbag.
She had tried to save them, but in the end, they were snatched by someone else. There was still an unopened bottle in it.
"I have some, but I don't have much either. Drink it sparingly."
Xu Mu handed his half - drunk bottle of mineral water to Fan Shiyu.
[Favorability + 10]
"Thank you. You're a good person."
Fan Shiyu took a big gulp first, then sipped a little and didn't swallow it immediately.
Instead, she moistened her throat little by little to relieve her body.
Then she returned the water to Xu Mu.
"Have you seen a woman? She has long hair..."
"No."
Fan Shiyu had swallowed all the water and was feeling a bit better now. "I haven't seen any other women since I came here."
"Okay."
Xu Mu nodded gently.
Could it be that Xu Ningbing had fallen off a cliff right at the beginning?
"So you came here to look for a woman. Is she your girlfriend?"
Fan Shiyu laughed. "You're so handsome. Your girlfriend must be very beautiful."
"She's just average - looking, but she has a good figure."
Xu Mu glanced at Fan Shiyu. "You're prettier than her."
[Favorability + 6]
"I feel like you're mocking me. With all these acne marks on my face, how can I be pretty?"
Fan Shiyu gently touched her cheek with her hand.
"Acne marks can be treated."
Xu Mu stood up with a smile. "I can't wait any longer. I have to keep looking for her."
"Okay."
Fan Shiyu nodded gently.
The temperature around was extremely high. Every moment he delayed put Xu Ningbing's life at greater risk.
Fan Shiyu looked at the mineral water Xu Mu left on the ground and immediately shouted, "Your mineral water!"
"It's yours."
Xu Mu didn't look back, just waved his hand in the distance.
[Favorability + 10]
Fan Shiyu smiled. This man was really nice.
Even though he knew how scarce the water was here, he still left it for her.
"I forgot to ask his name."
Fan Shiyu picked up the mineral water and took another small sip.
If she had the chance, she would thank him properly after getting out.
Just then, she noticed some movement in the distance.
She immediately hid behind a big tree and observed secretly.
Soon, two people in the distance came into her sight.
Fan Shiyu's eyes widened in shock. She quickly took out her phone from her pocket.
After seeing the photo on it, she smiled. "Finally, they've appeared."
After dealing with this target, she could look for the exit with peace of mind.
She took out two steel nails from her pocket, aimed at the right moment, and threw them forcefully.
Dai Xingluo noticed the movement from the corner of his eye and quickly reacted. He kicked Dai Xiao away.
"What are you doing?"
Before Dai Xiao's words fell, he heard two thuds.
The two steel nails were firmly embedded in the big tree, right where he had been standing.
If it weren't for Dai Xingluo, Dai Xiao might have already been dead.
Just then, Fan Shiyu rushed over from not far away. Seeing this, Dai Xingluo immediately stepped forward to meet her.
Fan Shiyu didn't pay any attention to Dai Xingluo. There was only her target in her eyes.
Swish!
She slapped towards Dai Xingluo, intending to send her flying.
However, Dai Xingluo also struck out with a palm.
There was still a distance of at least two meters between their hands, but the qi emitted by both sides had already intersected.
Boom!
There was a huge tremor here, and the fallen leaves flew everywhere.
Fan Shiyu and Dai Xingluo were rebounded by the force.
Fan Shiyu stepped on the ground with one foot and stabilized her figure in two steps.
But Dai Xingluo took four steps back.
"Impossible!"
Fan Shiyu narrowed her eyes slightly. "For an ordinary hidden family like the Dai family, the clan leader should only be at the Gang Qi realm. You're so young, yet you've reached this level. Who are you?"
"Although I'm not fond of the Dai family, who told you that the Dai family is an ordinary hidden family?"
There was a smile in Dai Xingluo's eyes. "It seems that you're not here to grab the water, but to target us!"
"It's not to target you, but to target him!"
Fan Shiyu lunged at Dai Xiao again.
Dai Xingluo showed an excited smile and rushed forward without hesitation.
Clank!
Their daggers clashed, and sparks flew.
Boom!
They clashed again.
Both of them aimed straight at the vital points without holding back at all.
Seeing this, Dai Xiao was so scared that he immediately fled into the distance.
It's aimed at him!
Why does this woman know that he will come?
Suddenly, Dai Xiao's eyes turned icy cold. "Ding Daqiang!"
Apart from Ding Daqiang, he only told Dai Xingluo about this.
So it's obvious who leaked the information.
Dai Xiao looked back at the commotion of the fight in the distance and regretted it deeply. He should have known better than to come to this godforsaken place.
He hadn't run for long when he found an old man wearing sunglasses standing in front of him.
The old man was bald, and judging from the nasolabial folds on his face, he was probably around sixty years old.
"Just came in?"
The bald old man stared at Dai Xiao's lips, which were not chapped, indicating that he was not in a state of severe water shortage.
"What do you want to do..."
Before Dai Xiao could finish his words, the old man instantly appeared in front of him.
Scared, Dai Xiao stepped back repeatedly and sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Give me the water, and I won't kill you."
The bald old man said calmly.
"I'll give it! I'll give it!"
Dai Xiao immediately handed the schoolbag on his back to the bald old man.
The old man opened it and took a look. Finding that there were actually several bottles of water, he immediately beamed with joy. "Go."
Scared out of his wits, Dai Xiao scrambled away.
...
On Xu Mu's side, while looking for Xu Ningbing, he had already drunk three bottles of water. He felt a bit full from drinking and wanted to take a pee.
Originally, he planned to pee directly on the ground, but then he thought about it and decided to use a mineral water bottle to catch it instead.
This is the water of life. He definitely won't need it, but others might.

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week?

There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
