To Fu Jinyu

"Senior, this is a healing pill. Please take it."

Xu Mu took out a pill he had refined himself.

"Alright."

Hao Yang didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed it in one gulp. Just a few seconds later, he said in surprise, "This pill is quite good. It must have been made by an expert."

Xu Mu merely smiled and didn't mention that he had refined it himself. It was better to keep a low profile.

"Child, your name is Xu Mu?"

Hao Yang asked with a smile, "Where do you live?"

"Jiang City. My family runs a company called the Xu Group."

Xu Mu didn't deliberately hide his identity.

Although the Hao Yang in front of him was emotionally unstable, overall, he had treated him quite well.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be taking my leave now."

After saying that, Hao Yang vanished from the spot.

"Let's go too."

Xu Mu said softly.

...

Only after the group got into the car did Xu Mu completely relax.

"Sister Empress, we didn't manage to find the treasure this time, making you take a wasted trip. You don't blame me, do you?"

Xu Mu started the car and slowly drove away.

In his heart, he was wondering whether he should give one of the spatial rings to Fu Jinyu.

He had to admit, her strength was formidable and she was worth cultivating a further relationship with.

The reason Xu Mu considered giving it to her was that it was hard to distribute them otherwise.

There were only two spatial rings, and he absolutely needed one for himself.

This way, he wouldn't have to keep his storage space a secret anymore in the future.

No matter what he took out, he could just say it came from the spatial ring.

Even if he really encountered a top-tier expert who wanted to snatch his spatial ring.

He could just hand it over directly. After all, he would keep all the truly good items in his own storage space.

Therefore, there was only one spatial ring he could give away.

The first person he thought of was Meng Wanyue. After all, for someone like Ye Tong who didn't fight, having it would be a waste.

But if he gave such a treasure to Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo would definitely cause trouble for him once she found out.

So, after thinking it over, he felt that Fu Jinyu was the best candidate.

He would wait until he obtained two more, or until he reached the realm of an advanced array master himself.

Then he could make a few for each of them.

"I'm not that kind of person."

Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and looked out the window. "If it weren't for you this time, I might have died. I should be thanking you."

Hongyu, who was sitting next to Fu Jinyu, kept her head down and remained silent.

However, hearing Fu Jinyu take the initiative to thank someone still surprised her greatly.

Along the way, Xu Mu didn't stop. He drove on the highway the whole way and arrived at the hotel in Jiang City a little after ten in the evening.

Xu Mu asked Meng Wanyue to wait in the car for a moment, then went with Fu Jinyu and Hongyu to the room they had stayed in previously.

"If you want to eat anything, just tell me. I'll have the manager send it up immediately."

"Just order some fast food. It's convenient."

Fu Jinyu thought for a moment and said. After being busy all day, she was indeed a bit hungry.

"Alright, how about we have KFC then?"

Saying this, Xu Mu turned to Hongyu and said, "Go back to your room first. Sister Empress and I have some private matters to discuss."

Hongyu didn't move immediately. Instead, she looked at Fu Jinyu and only backed out of the room after seeing her nod.

"What is it?"

Fu Jinyu took off her tattered jacket and casually tossed it onto the bed.

Her black shirt underneath also had a few holes, revealing glimpses of her white jade-like skin.

However, Xu Mu was in no mood to look at that, considering the two terrifying things right in front of him.

"I've decided to give you a treasure, but giving it to you for free makes me feel like I'm taking a huge loss."

Xu Mu looked at Fu Jinyu and smiled. "If you let me eat a..."

"Do you want to die? Believe it or not, I'll shove my foot in your mouth and let you eat your fill!"

Fu Jinyu's face darkened, her eyes narrowing into slits.

[Affection +3]

She hadn't even taught Xu Mu a lesson yet, and he actually dared to push his luck.

Today, under Hao Yang's coercion, Fu Jinyu had given her first kiss to Xu Mu.

Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile. Why was she so similar to Xu Ningbing?

Could it be that people who appear so cold on the outside are all tsunderes, saying one thing but meaning another?

"You can first listen to what my treasure is."

As Xu Mu spoke, a ring appeared in his hand. He needed to see first if Fu Jinyu would recognize this as the ring from the female skeleton earlier.

After all, compared to other jewelry, this ring looked incredibly ordinary.

An average person might remember that a ring was missing from the skeleton's finger, but if presented with one individually, they might not necessarily recognize it.

"A ring? What kind of treasure is this?"

Fu Jinyu frowned slightly.

Xu Mu had already cleared out all the items inside after getting the ring, so it was completely empty now.

He sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a pillow next to him. Then, the pillow vanished from Xu Mu's hand.

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes widened perfectly round. "Is this... a spatial ring? A treasure that only a level-nine array master can create!"

Her father used to have one, but unfortunately, it was later snatched away by an expert.

This kind of item had extremely high requirements for materials; ordinary materials simply couldn't withstand the array formations.

Even for a level-nine array master, creating one would take a very long time.

"Do you want it?"

Xu Mu took the pillow back out.

"I do!"

Fu Jinyu immediately sat down next to Xu Mu, preparing to reach out and take it.

But Xu Mu clenched his fist tightly, hiding the ring in his palm. "Then can I..."

"In your dreams!"

Fu Jinyu said coldly, "Don't think I'll sell my body for something like this."

"Then how about a facial cleanser, that should be fine, right?"

Xu Mu looked at Fu Jinyu and said, "I want to see through your heart."

"What the hell is that?"

Fu Jinyu looked confused, then touched her face. "I think I know what that is, but I've never used it."

"It's not what you think. Let me demonstrate it personally."

Xu Mu directly lay down on Fu Jinyu's lap, turning his face upward.

Two terrifying thunderbolts instantly smashed into his face.

"Bastard! Get up right now!"

"Do you still want the spatial ring or not?"

Xu Mu asked calmly.

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu instantly calmed down. If it was just this, she could barely accept it.

It was just that her face felt hot and her heart was beating very fast.

[Affection +6]

Xu Mu closed his eyes and shook his head back and forth, experiencing this attack.

To be honest, the feeling was truly different from Xu Ningbing's, even though the thunderbolts were about the same size.

But in terms of their composition, texture, and scent, there was a huge difference.

However, as for Xu Mu's direct feelings, they definitely both had their own merits, and he wanted them all.

Under this sensation, Xu Mu even felt a bit sleepy.

"Sister Empress, do you know how to draw?"

Xu Mu closed his eyes and asked softly.

"How did you know I can draw?"

Fu Jinyu was a bit surprised; she had actually learned it when she was a child.

Xu Mu continued to mumble, "I wanted to ask, for a drawing of Cao Pi, how much do you want?"

"I'm not interested in money. If you want one, I can do it for free... Wait! What the fuck did you just say?"

Fu Jinyu suddenly shouted coldly.
