The Inner World

Fu Jinyu didn't push Xu Mu away. Instead, she asked anxiously, "Xu Mu, are you okay?"

She didn't think Xu Mu was lying. After all, he had fought consecutively with two mid-stage Transcendent experts.

The first time, he beat Fu Cheng away, and the second time, he even killed Kong Xiang.

Xu Mu must have been heavily injured. Otherwise, it would completely defy the laws of heaven.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I want some warm and soft things to soothe me a bit."

"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. Just this once!"

Fu Jinyu held Xu Mu and flew through the night.

After flying for a distance, she landed in a mountain forest where the terrain was relatively flat.

Fu Jinyu sat down against a large tree, while Xu Mu lay on her lap, his face suddenly covered by two terrifyingly large things.

However, Xu Mu was not satisfied. He shook his head and said, "This thing is cold and hard. It's not what I want."

"Xu Mu, don't push your luck."

How could Fu Jinyu not know what he meant?

He felt that the leather armor she was wearing was too hard and wanted her to take it off.

"Sigh! Jinyu, you don't have to force yourself. Just let me wait here to die in loneliness. Didn't I just almost die for you? It's fine."

"You..."

Fu Jinyu puffed her cheeks slightly. "Shameless! Just this once! There will absolutely not be a next time!"

Xu Mu had indeed done a lot for her, and she felt she shouldn't let him be disappointed.

She took off her leather armor, revealing a black sweater underneath.

Only then did Xu Mu close his eyes. Right, this was the feeling.

He felt a full sense of security against his face.

Xu Mu took a deep breath, letting his body gradually relax. This battle was indeed a bit tiring.

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

Through his perception, he found that Fu Jinyu had also closed her eyes, so he gently raised his hand.

"What are you trying to do?"

Fu Jinyu suddenly opened her eyes.

"Nothing. I have a very powerful cultivation method here called the Water Dissolving Technique. I think you are very suitable to practice it," Xu Mu said with a smile.

"I can't take any more benefits from you!"

Fu Jinyu pushed Xu Mu away. "You've already given me a divine medicine."

"Actually, this is also a bit beneficial to me..."

"Shut up! Stop talking, I won't learn it. At least wait until I help you a few times in the future and repay these favors first."

Fu Jinyu stood up, put on her leather armor, and said with a serious face.

Xu Mu found it a bit amusing. He was even looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Fu Jinyu, with her personality, would have when she used this move on him.

...

Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu returned to the ruins together.

It turned out that the ruins where the blood seal was previously located were considered the tomb of the Heavenly Demon Tribe.

And Fu Jinyu didn't live there; she lived in another ruin not far from here.

Xu Mu sighed with emotion. As expected of a major race, they actually had so many ruins.

However, according to Fu Jinyu, the Heavenly Demon Tribe had declined.

If it were a powerful alien race like the Jiuli Tribe, it would be even more exaggerated.

Saying goodbye to Fu Jinyu, Xu Mu rushed to a hotel in a nearby county town overnight.

Because it was night, he didn't fly the helicopter back, but booked a room in this hotel.

Xu Mu wandered around the hotel and casually found a street stall to get something to eat.

He ordered a bowl of clay pot noodles and sat there waiting quietly.

Currently, there were many natural treasures under his garage, and he also controlled two branches of the Immortality Research Institute.

He planned to take Chen Xuan and rob these two places in the next few days.

Of course, that woman Yuli was no fool.

She probably told her branch that they didn't make medicine and had no treasures.

Or, when they were released, they might immediately notify the people in the branch to evacuate.

But no matter what, he had to go and take a look.

Just then, Xu Mu noticed two middle-aged men wearing cleaner uniforms walking over from the side.

There were two white stripes on their clothes, proving they were intermediate cleaners.

These clothes looked similar to ordinary construction workers and didn't attract the attention of the surrounding people.

"Did you hear? Recently, our cleaners discovered another entrance to the Inner World."

One of the middle-aged men with a buzz cut said softly.

"Of course I heard. When will this ever end? I just want to coast until retirement; I don't want to die early."

The other man, who had a small mustache on his chin, sighed slightly.

Xu Mu, who was looking down and eating his noodles, had a look of surprise in his eyes when he heard this.

He didn't expect to hear about the Inner World, although he already knew about it.

The opposite of the Inner World was the Outer World.

The Outer World was the world Xu Mu was currently in, and the Inner World was not a ruin.

To be precise, ruins also belonged to the Outer World; they just used formations to conceal an area.

The Inner World was a completely different world that existed within the Outer World.

However, even in the late stages of the plot, the Inner World had not been explained in detail.

Xu Mu only knew that most of the powerful alien races lived in the Inner World.

The Inner World had passages connecting to the Outer World. Cleaners and experts from powerful sects would take turns guarding the entrances and exits to prevent people from the Inner World from coming out.

However, ordinary people could never come into contact with these things.

These two cleaners just mentioned it casually and didn't go deep into the matter.

After finishing his meal, Xu Mu didn't stay to continue listening but turned and left.

...

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu flew the helicopter back to Jiang City.

Parking the helicopter at the Xu Family Manor, Xu Mu jumped down from it and found Xu Ningbing standing at the door of the villa.

"It's already this late, why didn't you go to work today?"

Xu Mu walked over with a smile.

"Of the two major hidden families in Jiangbei, the Nangong family couldn't stop us and chose to cooperate with us. As for the Dai family, they have already withdrawn. Ye Chen wanted to fight us before, but now he has also suffered a crushing defeat and retreated."

Xu Ningbing crossed her arms, making her front look even more terrifying. "What should we do next?"

"Increase production capacity and continue to expand outward."

Xu Mu answered without thinking.

"Exactly. Today I made an appointment with entrepreneurs from Jiangnan; I plan to expand into Jiangnan."

Speaking of this, Xu Ningbing asked indifferently, "It seems you didn't come home last night. Where did you go?"

"Where else could I go? Of course, I went looking for natural treasures."

Xu Mu came to Xu Ningbing's side and casually took out a pill. "Sis, you've taken divine medicine before. This pill of mine is also refined from divine medicine. Of course, it's immature, so the efficacy is definitely not as good as the one you had before."

"Divine medicine?"

Xu Ningbing's eyes widened. The divine medicine she obtained by chance last time allowed her to cross several levels consecutively.

"Little Mu! Is this for me?"

[Affection +10]

"I can give it to you, but the quantity is limited."

Xu Mu smiled and looked Xu Ningbing up and down. "Everything is about fairness. What kind of service can you provide?"

As he spoke, he noticed his phone vibrating. It was a call from Zhong Qianqian.

"What's wrong?" Xu Mu answered and asked.

"Xu Mu, a woman sneaked into your house."

Zhong Qianqian said from the other end.
