I Want His Corpse

Just as the yellow sand was about to fall in front of Wang Hun and Tong Guoguo, it suddenly transformed into countless earth and stone spikes.

"Careful, Mr. Soul!"

Tong Guoguo immediately unleashed a Heaven-tier cultivation method, stepping in front of Wang Hun to block the attack.

Swish, swish, swish...

Countless spikes pierced into Tong Guoguo's transparent crystal shield.

Facing such terrifying pressure, her body continuously retreated. The crystal first cracked, then completely shattered.

Against someone like Xu Mu, whose strength was far inferior to hers, Tong Guoguo's defense was an impenetrable iron wall.

But against a formation of this caliber, her Mortal Shedding realm, even combined with a Heaven-tier method, was still not enough.

"Let's go!"

Wang Hun grabbed Tong Guoguo's shoulder, leaped up, and jumped to a high vantage point.

"You've got to be kidding me? Am I going to die? I'm not even married yet!"

Ye Yu, who was still standing in her original spot, grabbed her own hair.

Poof!

The moment Wang Hun left, the spikes completely turned back into sand and dirt, burying Ye Yu.

However, Ye Yu was surprised to find that the yellow sand intentionally left a gap in the inner space where she was.

This gap was about the size of the doghouse she used to live in.

Not a single grain of sand touched her body.

At this time, the sand and dirt swirled up into a vortex, finally forming a massive phantom of a human head.

"Wang Hun! You trespassed into my territory without permission. What do you want?"

The sand-formed phantom head floated in the air, transmitting Nalan Shisan's voice.

"Lady Thirteen, I came here this time to discuss cooperation with you, not to fight."

Wang Hun smiled and pushed up his sunglasses.

"Today is my birthday, and I am not seeing anyone. If you really wanted to cooperate with me, you shouldn't have shown up here. Since you are here, it proves you forced your way in and didn't take me seriously at all!"

Rumble!

The surrounding sand rolled again, transforming into over a dozen sand tornadoes.

"Lady Thirteen, did a young man break in just now?"

Wang Hun asked with a smile.

"Not just one man, but a man leading several experts. However, I killed them all!"

Nalan Shisan's voice continued to echo.

Hearing this, Wang Hun felt a surge of joy in his heart. He also thought that Xu Mu wouldn't have come alone.

When Tong Guoguo heard the confirmed news, she actually felt a bit disappointed deep down.

She didn't expect Xu Mu to really be dead.

Then, she shook her head vigorously. Why would she feel this way?

After pondering for a long time, she finally found an excuse for herself.

That was because Xu Mu should have died by her hands, but now someone else had stolen the kill.

"Lady Thirteen, this is the reason I came to talk about cooperation with you. I am quite interested in that kid's corpse. Could you hand his body over to me?"

Wang Hun extended a hand. "Name your price."

"If you had come tomorrow, had my subordinates announce you, and observed the proper etiquette, I might have agreed. But now, I want you dead!"

After Nalan Shisan finished speaking, the surrounding yellow sand turned into long dragons, continuously attacking Wang Hun and Tong Guoguo.

Wang Hun drew his longsword and unleashed a wave of sword ki, slicing the incoming dragon's head completely in half.

"I am willing to trade a ninth-grade heavenly treasure for his useless corpse. This is a guaranteed profitable deal!"

Wang Hun continued to shout.

Whoosh!

Inside the severed dragon's head, the sand condensed again, forming a new head that lunged at Wang Hun.

Nalan Shisan couldn't even be bothered to say another word to him.

Hovering in the air, Wang Hun hesitated for a few seconds before swiftly landing on the ground.

He grabbed Tong Guoguo's shoulder and fled into the distance, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

He had encountered this formation before. The endless stream of attacks would cause a massive drain on his Qi.

What if an accident happened when more than half of his Qi was depleted?

He knew that Xu Mu had a good relationship with the Sanitation Department. If he ran into a high-level cleaner then, he might be in danger.

Therefore, the best choice was still to leave.

"Mr. Soul, are we leaving Xu Mu's corpse behind?"

Tong Guoguo asked.

"Leave it. That woman, Lady Thirteen, is crazy. Knowing I want the corpse, she will definitely destroy it."

Wang Hun glanced back. "Our goal was for him to die. Since he's already dead, the mission is considered a success."

...

At the core of the formation.

Nalan Shisan exhaled. "It seems the formation needs to be modified. He was actually able to break out so easily."

Xu Mu was also looking down in deep thought. This Wang Hun was truly not easy to deal with.

Every time, he took action himself, doing things personally.

"Now that the crisis is resolved, are you planning to kill me?"

Nalan Shisan suddenly asked.

"Don't lump me in with those untrustworthy people. I said I would save you, and I will definitely do it."

Saying this, Xu Mu looked at Fu Jinyu beside him. "I believe Sister Empress feels the same."

Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and said indifferently, "Nalan Shisan, we currently have a common goal, and that is to deal with Fu Cheng."

"Good, it seems I didn't misjudge you."

Nalan Shisan deactivated the formation, then led Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu back to the grassland formation.

"Brother-in-law! Are you okay?"

Seeing Xu Mu return safely, Ye Yu smiled and ran over.

[Favorability +10]

"I'm fine."

Xu Mu rested his arm on Ye Yu's shoulder. "We can't leave just yet, we need to wait a bit longer."

In his view, a cautious person like Wang Hun would definitely leave people standing guard outside, even if he wasn't there himself.

He certainly couldn't just swagger out with Ye Yu.

Nalan Shisan left first, heading towards the distant palace.

Wang Hun's unauthorized intrusion had clearly caused a huge battle with her subordinates, so she needed to go over there first.

Ye Yu looked up at Fu Jinyu. This woman gave off a very domineering vibe, carrying a natural aura of authority.

She had only seen a similar temperament in Xu Ningbing before.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is Fu Jinyu. I won't tell you any other information, it's for your own safety."

Xu Mu smiled at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu nodded and took the initiative to say, "Hello, I'm Ye Yu, Xu Mu is my brother-in-law."

Fu Jinyu nodded indifferently. She had known for a long time that Xu Mu was already married.

Not long after, Nalan Shisan came back in from outside.

Xu Mu asked proactively, "How are the casualties outside?"

"Many people died, and he still wants to make a deal with me. Keep dreaming!"

Nalan Shisan scoffed coldly, then looked at Xu Mu. "I've activated all the guardian arrays outside. It's very safe here now. I want you to help heal my injuries."

"Alright."

Xu Mu didn't refuse.

No matter what, the woman in front of him was a female protagonist.

Once the favorability level was maxed out, she could no longer provide Justice Value.

For example, the favorability of Ye Tong and Meng Wanyue, who were currently by his side, could no longer be increased, so he had to continue developing other female protagonists.

This was all to improve his own strength.

"Follow me."

Nalan Shisan led Xu Mu deeper inside.

"I'll go with you!"

Fu Jinyu said indifferently.

"Sister Empress, it's just healing injuries, there's no need for you to follow, right?"

Xu Mu wanted to play around with lightning later, and he would feel embarrassed if Fu Jinyu was standing right next to him.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go too."

Ye Yu smiled from the side.
