Only I Will Marry a Man

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless. Just a moment ago, it was clearly you who didn't want to kill her, and now it's the exact opposite.

"Let me tell you the reason. When I came down, I inscribed a small formation up there. Through it, I can see the surrounding environment."

Xu Mu looked up and pointed high above, saying, "Just now, I saw two people: Wang Hun and Tong Guoguo."

"What?"

Fu Jinyu frowned deeply.

However, compared to Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu, Nalan Shisan appeared very free and easy.

She looked at the two of them with a chuckle. "Wang Hun should be your enemy too, right?"

"That's right. I told you before, he kidnapped my sister with the sole purpose of making us kill each other."

Xu Mu nodded.

"In that case, his goal has been achieved. I will die, and you will die too."

Nalan Shisan covered her mouth and laughed, "Good, very good. The three of us can die together. To me, this is a good thing."

Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu looked at each other in dismay. They had to admit that Nalan Shisan was right. Originally, only she was going to die, but now she had two people to accompany her.

It was definitely a good thing for her, but for Xu Mu, it was the exact opposite.

"Nalan Shisan, don't you want revenge? Fu Cheng is still alive and well. We can cooperate and deal with him together."

Xu Mu didn't want Nalan Shisan to die right now; at the very least, they needed to deal with Wang Hun first.

"Hehe, little brother, dealing with Fu Cheng is fake; helping you deal with Wang Hun is the real goal, right?"

Nalan Shisan smiled and shook her head. "Just the two of you alone, without the help of my formation here, facing Wang Hun is certain death."

"At this critical juncture, I don't need to beat around the bush. If we don't deal with Wang Hun, how can we deal with Fu Cheng in the future?"

Xu Mu spread his hands. "So, let's cooperate?"

By now, he finally understood one thing: the difference between Destinies below level ten and those above level ten.

It all boiled down to one sentence: resistible versus irresistible.

For example, earlier, when Xu Mu was dealing with those male protagonists.

For protagonists above level ten, he clearly had a sure-fire chance to kill them, but irresistible accidents would always occur at the last moment.

These were unavoidable, making it entirely impossible for him to kill the male leads normally.

But those below level ten were different, like Nalan Shisan, who had a level nine Destiny.

She could also encounter some unexpected events that increased her chances of survival.

For example, her tragic past elicited sympathy.

Or the arrival of Wang Hun.

But these all belonged to the resistible category.

Even if Xu Mu really killed her, no bizarre situations would arise.

"I can help you, but you have to beg me."

Nalan Shisan wiped her tear-stained makeup with her sleeve. "Little brother can just stand, but Fu Jinyu must kneel down."

"In your dreams! I'd rather die than kneel to you. I, Fu Jinyu, am not someone who clings to life and fears death."

Fu Jinyu coldly snorted, looking at Xu Mu and saying, "I'll kill her first, and then the two of us can deal with Wang Hun together!"

Xu Mu gently shook his head.

Wang Hun's strength was too great. Even though Fu Jinyu had advanced again, she was still far from being his match.

To deal with Wang Hun, they still needed the help of this formation.

"Nalan Shisan, you clearly know this is impossible, so why bother asking?"

Xu Mu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Wang Hun is already searching for our traces up there. I'll ask you one last time, are we going to cooperate?"

Nalan Shisan looked at Xu Mu's face and did not answer.

Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded. "I understand! Sister Empress, I'll go to the formation core over there to study it and try to control the formation. As for this person, I won't interfere anymore."

Hearing this, Nalan Shisan smiled again. "I agree to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, joy appeared on Xu Mu's face. "Now that's a smart person."

"However, I have two conditions..."

"You still have two conditions?"

Fu Jinyu coldly snorted.

"Let her speak."

Xu Mu grabbed Fu Jinyu's arm. If they were things within his power, even ten conditions would be easy.

But if they were difficult things, let alone two, he wouldn't agree to even one.

Nalan Shisan smiled at Xu Mu. "After this is done, you must heal my injuries."

Xu Mu nodded gently. "Simple. We still have to deal with Fu Cheng, so I will definitely heal you."

"Second, I want you to promise me that you cannot marry Fu Jinyu as your official wife."

At this point, Nalan Shisan glanced at Fu Jinyu. "Of course, lovers eventually get married. I certainly won't do anything to break up lovers. You can marry her as a concubine, but not as a legal wife."

"Nalan Shisan, who are you insulting? I, Fu Jinyu, will only take a man in marriage, I will never marry off to a man!"

Fu Jinyu coldly snorted. "Make me a concubine? Stop dreaming!"

"That's perfect then. Since both conditions can be agreed upon, I'll go activate the formation."

Nalan Shisan climbed up from the ground and staggered toward the formation core.

Xu Mu first took out a healing pill from his person and handed it to Nalan Shisan.

After Nalan Shisan took it, she swallowed it in one gulp, feeling the powerful medicinal efficacy scatter throughout her body.

Her face was full of surprise. "This pill is quite potent."

"Just look at who refined the pill."

As Xu Mu spoke, he handed her another one. "Eat this one too."

Nalan Shisan didn't doubt him and swallowed it in one bite as well. At this critical moment, Xu Mu had no reason to harm her.

After taking it, she felt the Qi she had lost in her body begin to recover.

[Affection +8]

She was endlessly shocked in her heart. "Little brother, don't tell me these pills were all made by your hands?"

"I know a thing or two about alchemy."

As Xu Mu spoke, he handed Fu Jinyu two pills. "Sister Empress, yours."

Fu Jinyu swallowed both pills together, recovering her injuries and Qi.

They arrived together at the stone house that had just been destroyed.

Nalan Shisan immediately activated the surrounding formations. "The formation hiding our Qi has already been broken. With my body like this, I don't have the energy to inscribe it again. If Wang Hun finds our location, then it's a dead end for all of us."

"Don't worry. I'll repair this damaged formation," Xu Mu said to Nalan Shisan.

...

Meanwhile.

Wang Hun looked at the familiar desert before him. From this formation, he could deduce that Xu Mu and Nalan Shisan must have had a massive battle.

When he first came here, he had also encountered this formation.

"Are you saying that Xu Mu is dead?"

Wang Hun pushed up his sunglasses and asked, looking at Ye Yu.

"Bastard! You're the one who killed my brother-in-law! I'll kill you!"

Ye Yu pointed furiously at Tong Guoguo and charged at her like a madman.

For some unknown reason, after learning of Xu Mu's death, Tong Guoguo felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Watching Ye Yu rush over, Tong Guoguo clenched her fists, but she was grabbed by Wang Hun.

"Guoguo, don't be rude."

Wang Hun smiled at Ye Yu. "Don't worry. I believe your brother-in-law is still alive, so I'm going to find him, even if it's just a corpse."

"How are we supposed to find him? Just now, my brother-in-law was completely buried by the yellow sand..."

As Ye Yu was speaking, the surrounding earth began to tremble again.

Following that, a massive wave of yellow sand surged toward Wang Hun.
