My Lord, Am I Not Beautiful

Hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately reached out and stood in front of Xu Mu. "Brother Mu, be careful, it might be a trap."

Xu Mu secretly nodded. Of course he knew. After stepping in here, he had already used his perception to inspect the inside of the stone tower over there.

It must be another formation. This formation was set up in the deepest part, and barring any surprises, it was much stronger than the outermost one.

"Zi Wangyou! You traitor to the Immortality Research Institute, I am here under orders to arrest you!"

Xu Mu shouted at Zi Wangyou.

Hearing this, Zi Wangyou's face darkened. "How do you know my name? Did Liang Yi tell you?"

"It seems that you still can't see the situation clearly. The sneaky things you've been doing are already known to Mr. Soul."

Xu Mu said deliberately, "If you surrender now and come back with me to confess, I will plead for mercy on your behalf in front of Mr. Soul."

He certainly didn't know whether Zi Wangyou was loyal or treacherous.

But judging from Zi Wangyou's purple eyes, she was most likely from an alien race.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that she was wearing colored contact lenses, but the chances were very low.

In the plot, many people within the Immortality Research Institute harbored their own ulterior motives.

After all, it was immortality that brought these people together.

Most people who desire immortality are selfish, and many of them have their own schemes in mind.

Xu Mu had read up to the middle and late stages of the plot. At that time, internal problems had already surfaced within the Immortality Research Institute, with various undercurrents surging and members slaughtering each other.

However, at that point, the protagonist hadn't yet had the chance to deal with the Immortality Research Institute, so Xu Mu didn't have a detailed understanding of their internal affairs.

But bluffing was definitely necessary. Who knows, he might just guess right.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am absolutely loyal to the institute. I think you're the traitor!"

The smile that had been hanging on Zi Wangyou's face gradually disappeared.

"I also think you are absolutely loyal, so why don't you come back with us."

Xu Mu said indifferently.

"That's right! Return to the institute with us right now. Mr. Soul never wrongs a good person."

Chen Xuan chimed in.

"Hehe, who knows who you guys are? I think you're cleaners trying to send me to the sanitation department."

A smile reappeared on Zi Wangyou's face. "Once my mission is complete, I will go back myself."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. Could he have hit the nail on the head by accident?

Was she really disloyal and harboring other intentions?

"Where is Liu Ge? Did you kill him?"

Xu Mu continued to ask.

"Stinky little brother! Your lip service is truly impressive. You can even turn black into white."

After saying that, Zi Wangyou walked towards the inside of the stone tower. "I still have a mission to complete. If you want to take me away, then follow me."

As she spoke, she walked into the distant stone tower.

Xu Mu immediately checked with his perception, and sure enough, he could no longer see her figure.

"Brother Mu, what should we do?"

Chen Xuan asked from the side.

Xu Mu pondered for a moment, then looked at the people around him. "Have any of you been inside?"

"I've been to the first floor. The boss once had me move some things, carrying a few boxes inside."

The bearded man among them spoke up. "Inside is a city. Other than that, I don't know anything else."

The bearded man now believed Xu Mu's words. To survive in the Immortality Research Institute until now, one definitely needed to know how to read people's expressions.

Judging from that woman's expression just now, it was obvious she had done something wrong and didn't dare to go to the Immortality Research Institute's headquarters.

After a little thought, Xu Mu looked at Chen Xuan beside him. "Old Chen, what do you think?"

"Brother Mu, at a time like this, I'll listen to you."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"No, before deciding who to listen to, we need to see if our thoughts align."

Xu Mu patted Chen Xuan on the back. "Let's stand back to back and write on the ground. If we should enter, write 'one'. If we shouldn't, write 'two'."

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded and immediately turned his back to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu didn't open his perception this time. His intention was definitely to go in. He had just heard the guard here say that he had carried things inside before.

Perhaps there were treasures hidden inside, who knows.

Moreover, with Chen Xuan, a destiny protagonist who was over level twenty, by his side, he felt it shouldn't be a problem.

"Brother Mu, I'm done writing."

Chen Xuan's voice came over.

"Mhm."

Xu Mu responded and turned his head to look at what Chen Xuan had written.

Chen Xuan also looked over at Xu Mu's side. Both of them had written 'one', proving that their thoughts aligned and they both wanted to go in and take a look.

"Brother Mu, I..."

"Wanyue, it's too dangerous inside. You have another mission, which is to welcome our people so they don't lose track of us."

Xu Mu smiled at Meng Wanyue.

Meng Wanyue nodded slightly. "Okay."

After saying that, Xu Mu led all these guards into the inside of the stone tower.

Just as they walked through the main gate, the scene before their eyes began to change, eventually transforming from darkness into a city.

It was different from the formation outside earlier.

In that formation, Xu Mu and the others were all outside the city, but here, they were inside the city.

There were many ancient buildings around, but they were completely empty. In the distant central area, there was another stone tower.

It looked exactly the same as the stone tower outside.

"Holy shit!"

The bearded man from before suddenly let out a terrified cry.

"What's wrong? Why the fuss?"

Xu Mu looked at the man.

"Sir, look behind us. The exit has disappeared. Last time I was moving goods back and forth, the exit here was always open!"

The bearded man pointed behind him and said.

The other guards around also turned deathly pale. In other words, they had gone deep into the formation and could no longer get out.

"Where did you move the goods to last time?"

Xu Mu stroked his chin and glanced at the bearded man.

"I just put them here. There were over a dozen large boxes in total."

The bearded man spread his hands and made a rough gesture.

Just then, the expressions of the twenty or so guards present turned somewhat ugly. They swayed unsteadily, as if they were drunk.

"Brother Mu, I feel a bit dizzy."

Chen Xuan suddenly furrowed his brows tightly.

Xu Mu immediately pressed his hand against the ground and said in a deep voice, "The formation has been activated."

Instantly.

Noisy sounds reached their ears.

Xu Mu looked around and found that the previously empty city was now bustling with people.

These people were all wearing ancient clothing. Judging from their attire, it should be from the late Tang Dynasty.

The peddling of merchants and the playful laughter of children were endless.

"Young master, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Just then, from behind the group, a charming woman grabbed hold of a guard.

Although the woman's appearance wasn't absolutely stunning, she was dressed up gorgeously and could be considered a beauty.

The few people here looked up at the signboard. It turned out to be a brothel from that era.

"Young masters."

Right then, another group of women emerged from inside, each grabbing a man.

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan were also half-pushed and half-pulled inside.

"Haha! I didn't expect there to be such a place here. No wonder the boss often stays inside and doesn't come out. So he was enjoying himself!"

The bearded man laughed and lifted the chin of the woman beside him, already getting fully immersed in the experience.

The rest of the guards were exactly the same. They seemed to have forgotten that they were trapped inside a formation.

Xu Mu immediately looked over at Chen Xuan, only to find him staring blankly at the woman beside him, completely mesmerized.

"Darling, why are you looking at someone else? Am I not beautiful?"

The woman beside Xu Mu gently shook his arm, speaking in a coquettish tone.
