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.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
