He Said He Wanted to Marry Me as His Wife

"Ah?"

Li Chenshuang was a bit dumbfounded, but she still did as she was told.

The strength of the person in front of her was definitely not something the guards outside could compare to.

As a leader of the Jiuli tribe, she was very familiar with the Demon Guardian technique.

From the moment it could be fully cast, the lowest level was pure gold. As one's strength increased, along with their mastery of the technique, blood-red stripes would appear on the golden armor.

For example, Li Chenshuang currently had red stripes on her armor.

With every bit of improvement thereafter, the blood-red stripes would become more numerous and thicker.

And the stripes on the armor of the person in front of her were far more numerous and much thicker than hers.

This proved that this person's strength was far above her own.

Li Chenshuang jumped lightly a few times, and the massive beasts in front of her chest bounced along.

At this moment, she was already feeling somewhat suspicious in her heart.

Did this person want to look at her porcelain, her Ru kiln?

"Do you know why I am punishing you?"

Xu Mu asked indifferently.

"Please speak, Senior."

"Because you were being opportunistic, avoiding the heavy and choosing the light. That previous test was to gauge your ability to fight above your level. How did you get in here?"

Xu Mu inquired.

"This..."

Li Chenshuang couldn't help but lower her head. "I didn't defeat my clone; I defeated a clone that was weaker than me."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's body suddenly trembled. So there was actually such a method.

He finally understood now why Wu Cang had brought his son along.

The previous five cave entrances were probably randomized, or rather, those walking together would definitely not encounter each other.

For instance, Xu Mu and Chen Xuan entered the same cave entrance, but they were separated.

That was why Wu Cang told everyone to split up. If he was lucky, he would bump right into his son.

Then, given his strength, he could instantly kill his son's clone and enter this place one step ahead.

But his son would be left behind there.

Xu Mu shook his head. Both he and Chen Xuan had guessed wrong. It turned out that in Wu Cang's eyes, his son was just meant to be thrown under the bus.

"Senior, I got in by being opportunistic. There won't be any punishment, will there?"

Li Chenshuang asked in a small voice.

"Of course there is. What is your name? Which tribe are you from?"

Xu Mu asked calmly.

"My name is Li Chenshuang. I am currently the leader of the second tribe."

"Are you betrothed?"

Xu Mu asked the question that had been lingering in his mind. After all, this was Hat Bro's harem, and he felt the need to get things straight.

"The ancestor has already arranged a marriage for me. My fiancé is from the first tribe."

Speaking of this, Li Chenshuang's expression became noticeably unnatural.

"Have you communicated deeply?"

Xu Mu asked.

"Deeply..."

At this point, Li Chenshuang suddenly frowned. "Senior, why are you asking about such things?"

"Answer me first, and I will tell you the reason."

Xu Mu glanced at Li Chenshuang.

"Of course not! I am of the Jiuli royal bloodline, how could I be so indiscreet? Let alone that kind of thing, even holding hands before marriage is a blasphemy to our ancestor Chiyou."

Li Chenshuang clenched her fists. "Senior, please stop asking such questions. I feel like you are insulting me."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's heart was full of surprise. He hadn't expected Hat Bro to actually have a normal harem member.

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, Hat Bro was the protagonist; not all of his harem could be second-hand.

"I wasn't insulting you, I just..."

"Xu Mu!"

Right at this moment, Fu Jinyu came sprinting in from outside. Seeing Fu Jinyu step into the city, the guards outside retreated once again.

Fu Jinyu arrived by Xu Mu's side. Her long hair was merely a bit dusty, and she hadn't suffered any heavy injuries.

"Are you alright? I was worried about you just now."

"You've got the wrong person, haven't you?"

Xu Mu was still preparing to deal with Li Chenshuang here, how could he expose his identity?

"What are you pretending for?"

Fu Jinyu pushed Xu Mu's shoulder. "I'm not from the Jiuli tribe, but as their mortal enemy, I know them very well. The red patterns of the Demon Guardian are like fingerprints, no two people are the same. Could I be mistaken?"

"Hehe, as expected of Sister Empress, you spotted me right away."

Xu Mu smiled and deactivated the Demon Guardian, then greeted Li Chenshuang, "Sister H, how are you doing?"

"Doing your mom!"

Li Chenshuang's eyes seemed to spit fire, and her skin surfaced with a viscous red color like magma. "You brat! I'll kill you first!"

Seeing this, Fu Jinyu stepped in front of Xu Mu. "He is my man. Attacking him is attacking me!"

"Fu Jinyu, just with you..."

Li Chenshuang's eyes were piercingly cold, but suddenly, she began to laugh. "Do you know why I want to kill him? He insulted me. He said he wanted to marry me and have me bear him nine sons."

Hearing this, Fu Jinyu's expression instantly turned cold. She turned back and glared at Xu Mu. "Xu Mu! Is what she said true?"

"By heaven and earth, it's absolutely false!"

Xu Mu raised his hand and said, "I can swear on it."

"If swearing worked, at least half the people in this world would be dead."

Li Chenshuang hugged her chest and whispered softly, "Just now you even said you wanted to experience it and never leave for the rest of your life."

"Your mom..."

"Xu Mu! Her things are bigger anyway, go eat hers. You can't have mine for even a second!"

Fu Jinyu snorted coldly and strode toward the depths of the city.

"You just wait!"

Xu Mu pointed at Li Chenshuang and immediately chased after her. "Sister Empress, wait for me."

Li Chenshuang revealed a smile. She hadn't expected a woman like Fu Jinyu to actually take the initiative to like a man.

She found it somewhat unbelievable. From what she could see, this Xu Mu was only at the Grandmaster level.

Yet someone as proud as Fu Jinyu, who was already in the late stage of the Transcendent realm, actually liked someone weaker than herself.

Now, she was becoming more and more curious about Xu Mu. Just what kind of charm did this man have?

...

Fu Jinyu looked coldly at Xu Mu. "Why are you following me? Let her protect you. Hers are so big anyway, you might as well just hide inside them."

"Are you jealous?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"I... jealous your grandma!"

Fu Jinyu crossed her arms and continued walking forward.

"You'd fall for such a low-level attempt to sow discord? She just felt there was danger here and didn't want to fight you, so she deliberately tried to drive a wedge between us."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "Let's find the treasures first."

Fu Jinyu glanced back at Li Chenshuang, who was following them, and nodded slightly.

Xu Mu closed his eyes and looked around through his perception. There were only empty buildings here. Besides the three of them, there were no traces of anyone else.

Right at that moment, a terrifying aura appeared on the roof of a distant building.

The man was heavily built, bare-chested, and had long silver hair. He wore a metal mask with Chiyou patterns, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

"Being able to make it here proves your strength isn't bad. Once you defeat my subordinates, then come challenge me!"

The man up high let out a long howl, "Come out!"

Rumble!

Nearly a hundred people appeared all around. They were all wearing armor and battle helmets, their faces obscured.

One person instantly arrived by Xu Mu's side and swung down a woodchopping knife with great force.

Boom!

Golden electricity instantly exploded.

Seeing this, Xu Mu widened his eyes in disbelief. "Old Chen, it's me!"

Yet another attacker lunged toward Fu Jinyu. Shockingly, this armored man actually unleashed the unsealing technique of the Heavenly Demon Tribe.

Xu Mu furrowed his brows. What on earth was going on here?

He had a very bad feeling about this.
