Enemies?
Hearing this, Yuli immediately looked at Shi Fumeng next to her in surprise. Are you Xu Mu's enemy?
She found it unbelievable. Earlier, in order to save this woman, Xu Mu was willing to stay behind and brave the danger alone.
At that time, he didn't even know that the array deep within the ruins was the Spirit-Scattering Array.
Without that array, it would have been impossible for Xu Mu to defeat Wang Liu.
I used to be, but now, Xu Mu is my good big brother.
Shi Fumeng glanced at Xu Mu through the rearview mirror and smiled.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zi Wangyou turned around and carefully studied Shi Fumeng. Frowning, she asked, I think I've seen you before.
Shi Fumeng crossed her arms and leaned back against the seat. She thought carefully but had no memory of ever seeing Zi Wangyou.
You are from the Valley of Ten Thousand Races!
Zi Wangyou suddenly remembered and pointed at Shi Fumeng.
Valley of Ten Thousand Races?
Yuli also glanced at Shi Fumeng. Are you a non-human?
Not knowing the current situation, Shi Fumeng definitely wasn't going to speak recklessly.
She leaned forward and grabbed Xu Mu in front of her. Hey, Xu Mu, what's the deal with these two? Aren't they from the Immortality Research Institute?
Xu Mu explained, Right now, they are my hostages. Unless they give me the addresses of two other branch bases, I won't let them go.
Ah, I see. Understood.
As an elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Races, caution was Shi Fumeng's motto. At the end of the day, these two women were also her enemies.
She wasn't about to tell them too much.
I am a non-human, but as for anything else, I certainly can't tell you. We're not familiar with each other.
That's fair.
Yuli nodded slightly.
Enough nonsense, hurry up and give me the addresses.
Xu Mu looked at Yuli in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Tell me the two addresses first.
Alright. We head north. There is another one in Jiangnan, about a two-hour drive from here.
Yuli paused for a moment before continuing, As for the next one, it's quite far. We'll need to keep heading north into Qilu Province.
Xu Mu first recorded these two addresses on his phone's map.
Then, he drove toward the address in Jiangnan. It was only a two-hour journey, and it happened to be directly north.
His plan was to drive to the first location, confirm it was a real branch, and then head to his home in Jiangbei to fly a helicopter to Qilu.
The two-hour drive passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the three women in the car didn't say a single word.
This time, the location was also situated in a county town.
According to Yuli, the branch here operated a hotel, and the ruins were still located in the underground parking garage beneath it.
Xu Mu parked the car by the side of the road and directly cast an array inside the vehicle to change his appearance.
Sitting next to him, Zi Wangyou narrowed her purple eyes slightly. So it wasn't a cultivation technique, it was an array!
That's right.
Xu Mu looked at Yuli. You come down with me. You two wait for me in the car.
Yuli didn't say anything. Since Xu Mu was going to verify it in person, she definitely wouldn't lie.
Taking off her white lab coat, she revealed a black dress underneath.
Beside her, Shi Fumeng looked at the two prominent curves at the front of her dress and couldn't help but curl her lips.
A man like Xu Mu was truly disgusting to actually like such excess fat. How was that better looking than her own figure?
After getting out of the car, Yuli walked toward the hotel.
Xu Mu followed beside her. He opened Yuli's spatial ring and found that apart from various sprays, there were indeed only daily necessities inside.
However, he definitely wasn't going to give the spatial ring back to her.
Now that he had finally managed to get his hands on two more, he wanted to give them to Dai Xingluo and Meng Wanyue.
Here! Disguise yourself.
Xu Mu took a mask and a pair of sunglasses out of her spatial ring.
Looking at her own belongings, Yuli puffed out her cheeks in displeasure. That is my spatial ring.
Have your Mr. Soul give you another one. An expert like him definitely isn't short on them.
Xu Mu said flatly.
You really spout nonsense! A person like Mr. Soul has no time for romance. He and I are absolutely not in that kind of relationship!
Yuli swept up her long golden hair, exposing her ears, and put on the mask.
I know. I was just talking nonsense.
Xu Mu smiled and looked at Yuli. If you hadn't claimed to be Mr. Soul's woman, would that Wang Liu have cared so much about you?
Wangyou was right. You really are shameless!
Yuli put on the sunglasses.
Against bad guys like you, it doesn't count.
Xu Mu walked toward the underground parking garage with a calm expression.
Any great achievement requires sacrifices... Eek!
Before Yuli could finish her sentence, she let out a soft cry.
It turned out that Xu Mu's hand had pinched her bottom.
The pain made her immediately push Xu Mu away.
Keep arguing with your twisted logic, and I'll spank you until you swell! Are you trying to whitewash the Immortality Research Institute?
Xu Mu said coldly, Let me tell you, you should be glad that this ruin is for pharmaceuticals. If it were for those disgusting surgeries, I wouldn't leave a single one alive!
Yuli originally wanted to say something, but she ultimately swallowed her words.
Wrong was wrong; there really was no excuse to be made.
Arriving at the underground parking garage, there were far fewer people here compared to the previous one.
This was also what Yuli had deliberately mentioned; this place was originally a small branch.
Do you see the security guards over there? The entrance to the ruins is right there.
Yuli said, pointing into the distance.
Using the Eye of God, Xu Mu carefully inspected the security guards' information.
He discovered that they were indeed ancient martial artists, which proved that this place was indeed a branch.
Otherwise, why would ancient martial artists be working as security guards here?
Let's go. We'll head to the next one.
Xu Mu didn't alert the enemy. As long as he confirmed this was a branch, that was enough.
The two left the underground garage, and Xu Mu dispelled his array.
Returning to the roadside, he noticed someone selling jianbing over there, so he walked over and bought four.
Having fought a battle earlier and driven for two hours, he was indeed hungry.
Here, you eat first. It's my treat.
Xu Mu took the first freshly made jianbing and handed it to Yuli.
Yuli was slightly stunned for a moment, then took it. She pulled down her mask and took a bite.
[Favorability +1]
Thinking about it carefully, this person was completely different from anyone Yuli had interacted with before.
According to Yuli's idea of a hostage, she should be locked up and abused.
But not only did Xu Mu not do that, he treated her like a friend.
Before long, all four jianbing were ready.
Xu Mu took a green women's wallet out of the spatial ring, pulled out a hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to the vendor.
Um, that seems to be my money.
Yuli said to Xu Mu.
Does the money have your name written on it? If it's in my hands, it's mine.
After saying that, Xu Mu took a bite of his jianbing.
[Favorability -1]
Yuli took back her previous thought. This bastard was absolutely detestable.
She had always considered herself a zen person who had long since looked past life and death.
But the Xu Mu in front of her made her furious out of nowhere.
Xu Mu got into the car and handed the remaining jianbing to Shi Fumeng and Zi Wangyou. Eat something. It's my treat.
Yuli muttered under her breath, I was the one who paid.
Xu Mu continued driving, making his way toward Jiangbei. While waiting at a red light at an intersection, he noticed a red Ferrari convertible stopped in front of him.
He shook his head slightly. Come to think of it, he hardly knew any of the wealthy heirs in Jiangnan.
Just then, the light turned green, and Xu Mu got ready to pull forward.
However, the sports car ahead didn't move an inch. Looking closer, he saw that the woman in the passenger seat was busy feeding the driver milk tea.
Meanwhile, the man was stroking the woman's black-stockinged legs, grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing this, Xu Mu gave his horn a quick tap.
When the car in front still didn't budge, Xu Mu honked again.
"Fuck!"
The man in the driver's seat cursed angrily, jumped out of his car, and marched straight toward Xu Mu.
