"Where are you going? I need to heal her, and you can't help anyway. Just wait here like a good girl."
Xu Mu said, looking at Ye Yu.
She definitely couldn't go. If Ye Yu were there, it would be even harder for him to take action.
"It's fine if she doesn't go, but I must. This is also to protect you. Nalan Shisan isn't your friend. What if I'm not there and she suddenly attacks you?"
Fu Jinyu found a decent excuse.
Xu Mu had no way to refuse, so he just nodded.
However, he wasn't stupid. How could he cure Nalan Shisan immediately?
He definitely had to squeeze her a bit to see if he could get some treasures out of it.
Ultimately, led by Nalan Shisan, Xu Mu and Fu Jinyu headed to a building in the distance.
The building here was a wooden cabin built from branches. Inside, there was nothing but a wooden bed. Clearly, this room was only meant for sleeping.
After they walked in, Nalan Shisan locked the door behind them.
She wasn't some pure, innocent girl either. She directly took off her clothes and lay down.
Seeing the formidable sight that suddenly appeared before his eyes, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes. How terrifying.
With such a small waist, the stability wasn't great, meaning the grade of these twin peaks was very high.
As an antique collector, Xu Mu was somewhat tempted to inspect the quality of this fine porcelain.
"Little brother, are you mesmerized? Why aren't you starting the treatment?"
Nalan Shisan suddenly laughed.
Fu Jinyu also urged, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and treat her."
"Alright, I'll say the ugly truth first. Nalan Shisan, I can only use my method to shatter the blockage, but I have no way to deal with the Gu worm."
Xu Mu said to Nalan Shisan. "To resolve the Gu worm, I will need four stalks of rank-nine heavenly treasures. As for the other medicinal ingredients, I will cover them for you."
"Rank-nine heavenly treasures? And four of them?"
The smile on Nalan Shisan's face gradually faded. "And if I can't produce them?"
"Then we only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Before long, your meridians will clog up again. Moreover, as time passes and the Gu worm matures, it might cause a blockage every month, or even more frequently."
Xu Mu explained.
Regarding this point, he wasn't lying. This was exactly what the Gu worm did.
The only thing he deceived Nalan Shisan about was that he didn't need rank-nine heavenly treasures at all. He could observe the Gu worm's position with his naked eye.
As long as he used silver needles to seal its path, he could kill it.
But he wasn't that noble. Nalan Shisan wasn't his benefactor, nor was she a good person. Without collecting some compensation, why would he cure her completely?
As long as this Gu worm existed, Nalan Shisan would always have to beg him for help.
"Which four heavenly treasures do you need?"
Nalan Shisan asked.
"Preferably heavenly treasures that can replenish power. For these four rank-nine medicinal herbs, what I need isn't their specific medicinal effects, but the energy inside them."
Xu Mu paused and added, "Of course, if you have a divine medicine, one would be enough."
"I don't have any divine medicine."
Nalan Shisan shook her head and then said, "How about you clear the blockages in my body first."
"Alright."
Xu Mu nodded. He took out his silver needles and began to clear the blockages in the meridians on the front of Nalan Shisan's body.
His hands roamed over her front, moving as if he were scrubbing her down in a bath.
"Don't be nervous, and don't get the wrong idea. I'm just looking for the locations of the blockages."
Xu Mu said with a calm expression.
Nalan Shisan's face felt a bit hot at this moment, but since this was medical treatment, she couldn't really say anything.
After studying it for a while, Xu Mu picked up a silver needle and began to operate.
"These things really are in the way, blocking the positions of several meridians. So annoying, it's affecting my performance."
Xu Mu muttered, looking at her massive assets with a look of disdain.
Seeing this, Fu Jinyu said expressionlessly, "Xu Mu, how about I help you."
"No need, it's almost over."
Xu Mu waved his hand; it was time to speed up the treatment.
Once everything was done, Xu Mu pulled out the silver needles and took a few steps back. "Try it again."
Hearing this, Nalan Shisan immediately draped her clothes over herself. She released her power, feeling the Qi flowing through her meridians.
Her own strength had also increased significantly.
[Affection +20]
"My body really doesn't feel blocked anymore. Xu Mu, you truly are a miracle doctor!"
Nalan Shisan's face was full of pleasant surprise. Then, she pointed at Fu Jinyu. "Now, killing you would be as easy as taking something out of my pocket."
"Arrogant! We can try again."
Fu Jinyu revealed killing intent.
"Alright, give me some face."
Xu Mu clapped his hands and then looked at Nalan Shisan. "Let's exchange contact info. If you find the rank-nine heavenly treasures, call me over, and I'll remove the Gu worm for you."
"Little brother, if I can't find them, can I still come to you to clear the blockages every time it happens in the future?"
Nalan Shisan suddenly revealed a charming smile.
"I'll use a telephone pole to clear you out!"
Fu Jinyu snorted coldly from the side.
As both the Jiuli Tribe and the Heavenly Demon Tribe were warrior races, how could they have produced such a vixen?
"Of course you can. However, I have other things going on too. If I'm busy and can't answer your call, that would be unfortunate."
This was Xu Mu's original goal all along.
If he didn't get the heavenly treasures, she would have to beg him for the rest of her life.
He would definitely be able to easily manipulate her. Either way, it was beneficial to him.
"You really are a good person. I almost want to marry you."
Nalan Shisan took the initiative to wrap her arm around Xu Mu's.
She wasn't joking about this. If she married Xu Mu, the so-called blockages wouldn't be a problem at all.
At worst, she could just have them cleared out every day.
"Xu Mu doesn't have a habit of collecting trash."
Fu Jinyu pushed Nalan Shisan away. "Since we've cured you, it's time for us to leave."
Xu Mu nodded. "I feel like Wang Hun will probably send people to guard the outside. We should disguise our identities when we go out later."
Fu Jinyu agreed.
...
Nalan Shisan escorted Xu Mu and the others to the entrance of the ruins before heading back.
Xu Mu looked at Fu Jinyu, who had kept a cold face the whole time, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Don't think I don't know, you pervert!"
Fu Jinyu curled her lips.
She wasn't an idiot. When Xu Mu was examining her, he kept his hands on those parts. Are there even meridians up there?
"Actually, it doesn't take four rank-nine treasures to solve her problem at all."
Xu Mu whispered in Fu Jinyu's ear, "I asked for one of them just for you."
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's eyes widened slightly, and black text appeared above her head.
[Affection +15]
No wonder Xu Mu specifically asked for rank-nine heavenly treasures that replenish power. Weren't those exactly what was needed to advance in rank?
"Hmph! It's not like I lack such things."
Fu Jinyu crossed her arms, pretending to be aloof.
"Then you don't get a share."
"No way! You already said it was for me, you can't go back on your word!"
Fu Jinyu said immediately.
"Just kidding, you tsundere."
Xu Mu smiled and shook his head, continuing, "I'll go out and take a look first. You guys wait here."
As he stepped out of the ruins entrance, his body transformed, turning him into a short, fat middle-aged man.
Fu Jinyu watched Xu Mu's back, and black text appeared above her head once again.
[Affection +10]
...
After stepping outside, Xu Mu extended his perception to scan the surroundings and instantly spotted Tong Guoguo hiding in the distance.
She was holding her phone, watching the surveillance feed on the screen.
This Wang Hun was truly cautious to the extreme.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
