Hearing this, Ren Sangsang's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed from exhaustion.
She was now filled with regret. Originally, a few Cleaners had offered to come with her.
She had refused on the spot, for a very simple reason: she wanted to claim all the credit for herself.
She never expected to encounter such a powerful expert.
An expert was bad enough, but the key was that he used such underhanded methods.
If it had been a normal fight, even if Ren Sangsang was no match, she could have escaped.
For her to be rated as an Intermediate Cleaner at her age, she was certainly no ordinary person.
But now, having been hit with Spring Night Grass, even if she tried to escape, where could she go?
"Hahaha! Starting to feel the effects? I'm in no hurry, I'll give you another two minutes. I'm fast enough anyway."
Cao Jiutian leered, standing there and waiting quietly.
Just then, both Cao Jiutian and Ren Sangsang turned their heads, noticing the person who had appeared in the distance.
Ren Sangsang's eyes widened. "Xu Mu... why did you come back?"
"Couldn't rest easy."
Xu Mu said, looking at Ren Sangsang.
[Favorability +20]
Ren Sangsang's face was full of emotion, but a moment later, she immediately shouted, "Xu Mu! Run! This man is at the peak of the Divine Ability realm!"
"Run?"
Cao Jiutian looked at Xu Ningbing behind Xu Mu and was utterly stunned by her beauty. "No one's running! No one gets away!"
Whoosh!
The blue light points on his body blazed brightly, the ground beneath his feet instantly caved in, and he transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Xu Mu in the distance.
"Little Mu..."
"Stand behind me. This will be over in three seconds."
As Xu Mu spoke, red light points flickered across his body.
Then, intricate red lines appeared beneath his skin.
The red light emitted by these lines shone through his skin, visible on the outside.
Pfft!
From all his joints, countless fine red threads drifted out.
Now, Xu Mu looked like a marionette controlled by strings.
Heaven-grade technique, Spirit Vein Armament.
Not only that, but a golden light also coiled around Xu Mu's body.
A suit of golden armor appeared on him.
Heaven-grade technique, Demon's Guardian.
Even now, with his body covered in armor, the red threads emitted by the Spirit Vein Armament still remained.
Seeing the scene before him, a tremor of fear arose in Cao Jiutian's heart, but he was moving too fast to stop now.
He could only muster all his strength and launch his attack.
"Come then, confront your fate!"
Xu Mu watched the dagger coming at him and threw a punch.
Boom!
His fist hadn't even touched the opponent's dagger before completely shattering it. The air rumbled like thunder.
Crack!
The surroundings shook, the ground beneath their feet split apart, and many rocks exploded on the spot.
Cao Jiutian stared in terror, the Qi he had released disintegrating in an instant.
His body convulsed violently, and he was sent flying uncontrollably.
The blood he spat out formed a straight line in the air due to the speed.
Thud!
He smashed into a hillside in the distance, creating a crater several meters deep.
"You..."
Cao Jiutian looked at Xu Mu with utter fear. Before he could even speak, his body convulsed again.
Blood gushed out once more, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Xu Mu had already returned to normal. He looked at his hand and murmured, "Feels alright. The force was just right."
In the distance, Ren Sangsang's mouth hung open, wide enough to fit an egg.
What just happened?
This man was at the peak of the Divine Ability realm, just one step away from the Master realm!
One-hit knockout?
She had inquired about the details of the martial arts contest for marriage. In terms of combat, Xu Mu wasn't the first-place winner.
Lv Pinlong, who had just entered the late stage of Divine Ability, had taken the top spot.
Now, Xu Mu had instantly defeated someone at the peak of Divine Ability with one strike.
Didn't that mean Xu Mu could also instantly defeat Lv Pinlong?
Had he been holding back?
Xu Ningbing now looked at Xu Mu with intense seriousness. Just moments ago, clad in full armor, he had resembled a god of war.
She remembered the past, when she had applied naked chokes, armbars, guillotine chokes, and other moves on Xu Mu.
Xu Mu had cried out in pain, tapping the ground to surrender.
Back then, Xu Ningbing had been full of disdain.
Seeing this, she finally understood that she was the joke.
He had been going easy on her all along, not bothering to take her seriously.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Mu quickly walked towards Ren Sangsang.
"Xu Mu, I'm so jealous of Jiang Huihui. Why is it that she, who strongly opposes marriage, gets to meet someone like you? I want to get married so badly, yet I can't meet someone like you."
Ren Sangsang's face was flushed red now. "No, I want to marry you too!"
"What the hell?"
Hearing this, Xu Mu froze on the spot.
But Ren Sangsang actively threw herself towards him. However, before she could reach Xu Mu, Xu Ningbing stepped in front of him a moment earlier, blocking Ren Sangsang.
Her little brother's body was not something these seductive bitches could get their hands on.
At that moment, Xu Mu frowned slightly. From this close distance, he caught the unique scent of Spring Night Grass.
"Xu Mu... Daddy! Xu Mu Daddy!"
Ren Sangsang's usually aloof face was now so red it seemed about to drip water.
"Unless I'm mistaken, she's been hit with Spring Night Grass."
Xu Mu said from behind Xu Ningbing.
He understood now—almost everyone from this Yin-Yang Sect seemed to carry Spring Night Grass.
He'd have to be extra careful if he encountered them in the future.
"What?"
Hearing this, Xu Ningbing shuddered in fright and immediately pushed Ren Sangsang to the ground. "This poison isn't contagious, is it?"
"No."
Xu Mu started walking towards Ren Sangsang.
But Xu Ningbing immediately grabbed Xu Mu's shoulder from behind. "You're not thinking of... doing that with her, are you?"
However, after saying this, Xu Ningbing released Xu Mu.
A life was at stake. She could choose to turn a blind eye.
"Don't worry, I won't do that."
Xu Mu helped Ren Sangsang up and looked at Xu Ningbing. "You save her."
"Me? Are you joking? I don't have one."
Xu Ningbing's gaze drifted towards little Xu Mu's direction.
"What are you imagining? Did you forget the explanation I just gave you?"
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless. "Everyone can save themselves, but in the later stages, their minds get foggy and they can't think of doing it."
"You mean, you want me to... use..."
Xu Ningbing's face instantly turned bright red as she said this.
"Exactly what you're thinking. Anyway, you're both women."
Xu Mu picked up Ren Sangsang and headed back into the cave. He looked back at Xu Ningbing. "What are you standing there for? Come on."
Xu Ningbing walked over reluctantly. She stood at the cave entrance, not coming inside.
"Little Mu, I... I don't know how..."
"Now you're just pretending, right? You don't have a man. You've grown up this big and never had those kinds of thoughts?"
Xu Mu couldn't help but look at Xu Ningbing.
"Want me to hit you? I said I don't know how, so I don't! You do it. After she wakes up, I'll tell her I did it."
Xu Ningbing was a normal woman and of course had had those kinds of thoughts.
However, at most, she had just rubbed against the blanket. As for what Xu Mu was suggesting, she found it a bit disgusting.
It was like admitting she couldn't find a man.
"This..."
Xu Mu also felt awkward. If he were alone, this sort of thing would be one thing.
But with someone else standing right there, it felt like... being caught in the act back at the temple.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
